Eagle’s Glory

Hundreds of years have passed since the completion of the main project of the Milan Cathedral. During this period, the wind and rain have been blowing. Although the building on the roof is made of solid marble and the main part has been well preserved, the years will eventually leave its mark. traces.

During centuries of wind and rain, some marble supports fell off and fell next to the minaret and stone bridge. Where Aiglon is standing now, there are some fallen marble fragments.

With the confidence to kill, Bianca struck the young man in front of her with all her strength, hoping to take away his life. In the midst of the lightning and flint, Aigron picked up the fragment of a marble pillar at his feet. Kan blocked the sword.

The shock of the sword made his wrist numb, and what was even worse was that the marble strip in his hand was cut into two pieces.

The incision was very regular, as if it had been cut off at the waist by a sharp file, which showed the speed and strength with which she drew the sword.

But in Aigron's view, this was not the time to praise her. Just because he could block the sword did not mean that his crisis had been resolved.

At this time, the sky was completely dark, and even the statue of the Virgin Mary with gold pieces above his head was dim.

The dark clouds accumulated thicker and thicker, covering the moon and stars, plunging the roof of the church into a cold darkness.

These dark clouds were rolling and stirring in the sky, making a dull roar, as if they were marveling at the tragedy that was unfolding in the world.

The two people stood very close, but Aigron couldn't see each other's face clearly, but he could see the blood seeping from her neck, and the fierce and bloodthirsty light flashing in her eyes. .

This kind of light can only be possessed by those who have experienced life and death situations many times.

Because Aigron blocked his blow, Bianca was a little shocked, and then she burst into laughter.

"You surprised me once again. I have to say that you are really tenacious, more tenacious than most of the opponents I have ever encountered -" She adjusted her breathing and allowed her hands to adapt again while whispering. Out of evaluation.

Then, she changed the topic, "But... this is also a useless struggle!"

Following this stern roar, her sword stabbed at the young man mercilessly.

Because the visibility was so poor, Aigron could only use the flash of metal to judge the direction of the sword.

This left him stranded, and he could only barely block while retreating.

Soon, several sections of the marble bar in his hand were cut off again, and finally only a small stone was left in his hand. What was even worse was that he felt that his physical strength was also rapidly draining.

The wounds on his body were aching. Although these wounds were not fatal, they were still slowly bleeding with his violent movements, taking away his remaining physical strength and energy.

Aigron knew that if the situation was allowed to develop like this, he would soon become a corpse lying between the marble supports.

No! How could I possibly die like this? !

The desperate situation did not make the young man give up. On the contrary, it inspired the ferocity deep in his blood. There seemed to be a fire burning in his body. For a moment, he had forgotten the pain from the wound. Pain.

His eyes also glowed with bloodlust.

No matter what, he will never allow his legend to end hastily here. His destiny can only be decided by himself.

At this moment, there is no elegance or reserve anymore, only a trapped beast fighting to save his life.

He quickly took two steps back, then jumped into the back of the marble support, thus temporarily separating the two people.

"boom!"

Just when he had just settled down, the rolling dark clouds were rubbing violently, drawing a shining mark in the sky, followed by a roar of thunder.

The heavy sound did not have any impact on Bianca. On the contrary, the lightning made her see the young man's position more clearly. She immediately chased after him without any hesitation.

However, at the same time, Aigron also used the flash of light from the lightning to see his surroundings clearly.

He clearly discovered that just to his right was a stone bridge, and between the stone bridge, the ground, and the marble supports, the ground was somewhat undulating.

Almost instantly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.

Then, his body automatically moved to the right.

Bianca was chasing after her, and he could clearly feel another wound on his back, but he was completely oblivious at this time, and his speed was a little faster than usual.

Another lightning flashed in the sky. This sudden light pointed out the direction for him to move forward. He carefully crossed the pit and jumped onto the stone bridge.

Of course Bianca followed, but just when she thought the young man was going to escape along the steps of the stone bridge, he made an incredible move.

Aiglon turned around suddenly, jumped down from above, and rushed towards Bianca.

Is there such a good thing? Has this stubborn kid finally been driven crazy by despair?

Bianca, who was completely unprepared, almost couldn't believe her eyes, but soon she regained consciousness, and then her body naturally took a step back, preparing to kill the young man who had thrown himself into the trap with one sword.

However, when she retracted her feet, she stumbled under her feet, causing her body to almost lose balance and suddenly swayed.

It was in this momentary gap that she understood the other party's intention. However, it was already too late. The young man had already jumped in front of her from mid-air.

Even at this moment, years of experience still allowed Bianca to maintain her calmness. While barely maintaining the balance of her body, she crossed her wrist and stabbed his heart with the sword.

Aigron, who was in mid-air, could no longer dodge the sword. All he could do was turn his body slightly to avoid the fatal blow.

With a soft sound, the sword pierced directly into his shoulder, but the palm of his left hand and the stone in his hand also hit Bianca's face hard.

"boom!"

The violent thunder covered the two people's screams of pain, and they both fell to the ground.

Aigron only felt the burning pain in his shoulder. The blood flowing out of the new and old wounds made him feel a little tired. He wanted to fall asleep and rest, but he didn't care about it. Instead, he raised his fist again and punched fiercely. Hit Bianca on the neck.

"ah……"

The wound that had been scratched by the bullet was hit again by this heavy blow. Bianca couldn't help but moan, but she didn't faint. Instead, she mustered up the remaining strength and kicked hard with her knee. On to the young man.

Then, she pushed him away, stood up, and backed away crookedly, not stopping until her back was against the marble support.

But for Aigron, that's enough now.

He stood up staggeringly. The puncture wound on his shoulder was still bleeding, but without any hesitation, he directly grabbed the hilt of the sword and drew out the sword.

Although the wound was bleeding profusely, when this ordinary sword fell into his hand, he felt an indescribable sense of self-confidence.

Ever since he saw Bianca, the oppressive feeling that had been weighing on his heart gradually disappeared. He raised his head, and then looked at his opponent with the help of lightning.

Now it's my turn.

And just as he thought, Bianca's current condition was indeed very bad. Half of her face was red and swollen, bloodshot eyes overflowed from the corners of her mouth, and her neck was also stained red with blood.

Although she was originally unkempt, she was quite neat and tidy, but at this moment, her face looked extremely terrifying, and with her hair hanging loosely in front and back, it made her look even more shocking.

Both of them gasped violently, and then looked at each other's movements in the electric light.

Although he grabbed the sword in his hand, Aigron did not act rashly immediately. He knew that his injury was much more serious than that of his opponent and he must not take it lightly.

While watching the opponent, he simply stopped the bleeding on the other shoulder with his hand, preparing to give the opponent a fatal blow next.

Under his gaze, Bianca gradually recovered, she stood up straight, and then grinned.

"Haha...hahahaha..."

The laughter was full of joy, but when paired with half of her face that was red, swollen and bleeding, there was not much joy to be seen, but instead a bit of bone-chilling gloom.

Aiglon was a little confused by her laughter, but he did not ask questions, but was nervously on guard - for him, the more time he delayed, the more advantageous he was.

Logically speaking, Maria should have already arrived under the church and saw the guards she brought with her. They must have been climbing up to the church.

We are indeed in darkness now, but as long as we persist, we can see the dawn of light.

Therefore, you must not fall down...

However, Bianca's reaction made him a little confused.

It stands to reason that now that she has lost her weapon, is injured, and does not have much time left, she should consider evacuating. However, instead of showing any intention of being timid, she is actually laughing so much... Why?

Aigron's doubts were answered immediately.

Bianca stopped laughing and looked at the young man again.

"I didn't expect... I didn't expect you to be so powerful. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have despised you so much that I came here alone." Bianca's tone changed slightly because of the injury on her face. It was a bit harsher than before, "But, interesting...very interesting, King of Rome, you really have some abilities and some ruthlessness. If you can survive today, I think you will have great achievements!" Of course...the premise is that you have to survive!"

The further she spoke, the sharper Bianca's voice became, until finally, another cold light appeared around her.

Aiglon was shocked to find that Bianca was holding another sword in her hand.

This is a short sword, the blade is only about thirty centimeters, but under the occasional flash of lightning, it still shines with a sharp cold light.

This should be the weapon she carries close to her body... Aigron understood it instantly.

In the not-too-distant past, duels were common all over Europe. Many people liked to duel with swords, and gradually developed specialized skills and equipment. Many people used long swords and short swords together. Bianca carried such a sword with her. The weapons are not surprising either.

After the moment of shock passed, his heart calmed down, and he no longer had the anxiety he had before.

No matter what weapon the opponent is holding now, in short, he is also holding a sword in his hand now, and that is enough——

During this moment, his body had regained some strength. Although he felt that the wound on his shoulder was still bleeding slightly, it didn't matter now. He was confident enough to persevere.

"This is very good." Aigron breathed a long sigh of relief, "After I fought with Agnes, I have always secretly admired her and wanted to meet her master. Now I finally got my wish..."

Bianca looked at him calmly, and then asked, "I forgot to ask just now, what was the result of your fight with her?"

"I think I'm better." Aigron replied proudly, "But, she's so beautiful, so I'll just call it a tie."

"Hahahaha... you are so funny." Bianca couldn't help laughing again.

However, she quickly returned to her cold and serious expression. "Maybe this is the arrangement of fate... This is also very good. God can't bear to watch a dazzling star fall defenseless, so I will comply with God's arrangement - King of Rome, I want to go! "

Following her roar, there was another thunder in the sky as an accompaniment.

Just as the lightning flashed, she rushed in front of the young man again.

But this time, Aigron no longer planned to run away. He also raised the long sword he had just taken from Bianca and faced his opponent proudly.

The excitement in his heart made him almost forget about everything else.

In a daze, he recalled that snowy Christmas night, the night he fled from Vienna.

That night, he also had a fight with his teacher, and it left a wound on his body that would last a lifetime.

That time he did it mentally but not intentionally, but this time it was different. It was the first time he had fought with someone in a life-and-death sword fight. He didn't have any fear, only the blood-drenched pleasure.

Danger and fear, bloodshed and pain? What does that mean? He now has to face the enemy and defeat his opponent so that he can defeat the plot of the enemy hiding in the dark.

Two weapons, one short and one long, collided rapidly under the clouds, making a harsh sound of metal clashing. They were left with only the most primitive desire to kill, slashing at each other mercilessly.

The statue of the Virgin Mary standing on the top of the spire is looking at it with compassion. In the flash of lightning, she shines with golden light intermittently, echoing the fire that bursts out when the sword blades clash.

Aiglon felt as if he had entered another world. The surrounding darkness seemed to have turned into a substantial curtain, wrapping this small area, while everything else had been isolated.

During this brief battle, he added a few more scratches on his body, but he also caused equal damage to the opponent.

Because of the violent movements, the wounds on his body were bleeding again, and Aigron felt that his body was getting lighter and lighter, as if he was about to float.

At this moment, Aigron finally heard the panic shouting from behind.

"His Majesty!"
