Chapter VIII The Heart Towards Death
Grasping the familiar officer's neck, Li Ke allowed the other soldiers' swords to strike him, only to be blocked by his own hard bones.
But this is already a trivial matter, because the life force extracted from this officer is indeed more than that of ordinary soldiers. It is not only enough for Li Ke's body to repair his bones, but also allows Li Ke to ignore the attacks of other soldiers.
This is probably because he is stronger than other soldiers and has fewer injuries. However, his superior strength cannot save him, because when Li Ke caught him, his other movements did not stop at all.
He pushed hard between the officer's legs with his own knee, causing the officer to succumb to the pain of life-draining under the dual pressure of severe pain and suffocation, and could no longer resist Li Ke.
"You...kill me...you will die too..."
After saying this with difficulty, the officer's throat was cut by Li Ke, and Li Ke hit another soldier hard. The soldier and his commander fell to the ground together.
And after Li Ke killed the two other soldiers with the sharp swords they slashed at him, he came to the officer who had not yet closed his eyes covered in blood, and stabbed the last officer to death in the same way.
A soldier stopped him.
"Do you think I'm still afraid?"
After saying this, Li Ke no longer cared about this officer whom he was very familiar with. Instead, he picked up the keys on his body and threw them to the women who were following him.
"There are a large number of prisoners in this arena. Your next task is to release them and tell them that the Noxians will not care if they escape on their own."
Pointing in the direction leading to the cell, Li Ke picked up two sharp swords again and prepared to attack the second wave of soldiers coming.
"What about you!"
The leading woman looked at Li Ke, with a complicated expression on her face.
"I will buy you time, but there are guards in the prison itself. Whether we can escape successfully depends on your performance."
Although Li Ke only thought that the most he could do was make a big fuss and then die. But since he had decided to make a big fuss, it was natural to drag more people into the water.
"This time we will fulfill our promise! Also, my name is Alena, the daughter of Gurov and a member of Winter's Claw!"
She was still brooding over the previous mistake that had injured Li Ke, but the woman did not hesitate too much. After saying some incomprehensible words to Li Ke, she led the group of fully armed women towards the place that Li Ke was pointing to.
direction. And Li Ke did exactly what he said, rushing towards the soldiers who were coming.
But the soldiers who followed were difficult to deal with.
What came over this time was a group of soldiers armed with spears, sixteen people in total. They were all wearing plate armor, not like the previous soldiers. They were dressed to facilitate movement, and they could wear a lot of clothes without much impact.
Movable leather armor. This is very bad news for Li Ke, because then he will not be able to kill a soldier directly.
Every time he wanted to attack one of the soldiers with the sword in his hand, other soldiers with spears would stab his chest and waist with sharp spears from his back and sides, intending to kill him.
He killed him directly on the spot.
And even if he approaches a certain soldier, it is difficult for the sharp sword in his hand to kill a soldier immediately, and there is no possibility of direct contact with the opponent's full body armor.
Therefore, Li Ke had a very difficult fight. He had to cut off the spears of these soldiers first, and then engage in a close duel with these soldiers.
"Is this the backbone of Noxus!"
Grabbing the two spears that were pierced into his stomach, Li Ke used his abdominal muscles and arm strength to break the wooden bodies of the two spears, and then roared and rushed towards the two soldiers who could not dodge.
Next to him, he inserted the sharp sword into their necks along the gaps in their armor.
But his move not only killed two Noxian soldiers, but also had two spears pierced into his back by these soldiers, causing his brain to feel the stimulation of pain again.
If it were in the arena, he would never adopt such an approach. Instead, he would slowly kill these soldiers through his flexible body and strong physical fitness. He would only be slightly injured at most. But in this situation, he did not have too much trouble.
Given the time, he could only choose this battle strategy of killing a thousand enemies and damaging himself by eight hundred.
He turned around forcefully, and the pain of the spear tearing through his body almost made him roar, especially when one spear struck so close to his spine that Li Ke turned around to kill the remaining two soldiers.
His spine was deeply scratched by the sharp spear tip.
But even such severe pain could not make his sword deviate from the direction. In the eyes of those soldiers looking at the monster, Li Ke's two swords pierced their throats, keeping them away from this world of the living.
After the two soldiers fell, Li Ke staggered back two steps, then gritted his teeth and pulled out the spears on his body, then weakly knelt on the ground. Enduring the severe pain, he reached into the spears.
The bodies of the soldiers who were not completely dead had the little life force in their bodies extracted.
But just when he was about to take a good breath while repairing his body, a dense rain of arrows enveloped him. His back was hit by several arrows in an instant, forcing him to lift two dead bodies as his shield.
.
But even so, he was constantly hit by arrows, especially his arms and thighs, which were taken care of by the archers, hoping that the pain would make the gladiator put down his shield.
When the arrow rain stopped and Li Ke put down his shield, a burst of applause followed, and Li Ke's familiar voice also appeared in his ears.
"You did a good job, just like before. I thought you would die here... But you should be able to do better. These people are wearing armor and have been waiting for a long time. It is really not fair to you...
And in the arena, you don’t have to be in such a hurry. Am I right? Immortal. In order to give those women time to liberate those prisoners, you tried your best to stop us and buy them time.
...But you think a group of women and a group of rabble can defeat us? You are dreaming! You should know this very well!"
The person who said these words was naturally the general Li Ke was most familiar with. He appeared in front of Li Ke with a large number of fully armed soldiers. Although he himself was not wearing armor, he stood beside him.
There are two magicians, both of whom are not accessible to ordinary people.
And what he said was true, because behind him Li Ke saw densely packed armored soldiers, as well as the crossbows and artillery that were supposed to be used to attack the city. With just some rebellious slaves and women, there was really no way to defeat them.
These elite regular troops.
"So why do you do stupid things? How great your future was originally... Forget it, it's useless to say this now. Put down your weapons, you can still be a gladiator for a few more days, otherwise, wait
All you have is endless pain!"
His face was full of anger. After all, he valued Li Ke so much. He even taught Li Ke the fighting method, but what did Li Ke give him?
A ridiculous, stupid, and absolutely impossible rebellion?!
He failed to live up to his expectations and investment!
"Indeed, no matter what, I can't defeat you. There was no chance of winning from the beginning."
Li Ke stood up, slowly pulled out the arrows from his body, and then threw the bloody arrows to the ground.
