Chapter 455 A Strong Apology

"laugh--!"

The sprayed blood reflected a coquettish color in the moonlight.

"If you had the opportunity to pierce the knight's sword into my heart, you would definitely not hesitate." Gao Lie grinned, and the smile on his face became a little distorted because of the pain.

But you can see the joy in Gao Lie's smile.

The giant sword guarded his heart, blocking Xu Yuan's final attack.

"certainly."

Xu Yuan took a deep look at Gao Lie before speaking and shouted those unwilling words.

"Knight Guards, retreat!"

The chaotic scene of overwhelming defeat did not appear on the well-trained knight guards.

Even though Xu Yuan shouted the order to retreat, the Knight Guards also resisted, evacuated away from the battlefield in an extremely orderly manner, and then disappeared into the night.

There was not a single word of nonsense in the whole process.

Only corpses were left on the ground, as well as broken weapons and broken armor. The blood almost dyed the earth red.

"ah!"

After confirming that Xu Yuan and his knight guards had left, Gao Lie stumbled and almost sat down on the ground.

The large amount of blood loss made Gao Lie's head start to feel dizzy, and his eyesight became a little dark.

When fighting Xu Yuan before, Gao Lie took a deep breath in order to stabilize the morale of the army and prevent himself from falling down due to severe injuries.

Now as soon as the battle is over, the sequelae come all of a sudden.

"Sir, are you okay?" The guard rushed up immediately and supported Gao Lie, preventing him from falling.

"He's not dead yet. Help me go to the mercenary who destroyed the magic circle." Gao Lie's face turned pale, and although his voice was weak, he said very firmly.

"Sir, you need to rest and recuperate now." The guard advised.

"Help me over." Gao Lie insisted, ignoring the guards' persuasion.

"But, sir..."

Seeing Gao Lie's expression, the guard knew that it was useless to persuade him, so he could only grit his teeth and said: "Yes."

At the end of the battle, Hu Shou had already taken the Earth Demon Bear back into his pet card.

The losses are now being counted.

Then he saw Gao Lie coming to him with the support of a guard.

"Your name is Hu Shou, right?"

"You are...the employer of this mission." Hu Shou looked carefully for several times before he recognized Gao Lie's face, which was mostly covered in blood.

"Yes, just call me Gao Lie." Gao Lie said slowly.

Even if you speak faster, it will affect your body's injuries.

"Mr. Gao, you're welcome. Do you have any business coming to see me?" Hu Shou asked.

Whether it was because of his status as an employer or his master-level strength, Gao Lie deserved Hu Shou's courtesy.

It's just that Hu Shou was still a little unhappy because he didn't listen to the advice before.

"It was my fault for not listening to your advice before." Gao Lie opened his mouth and directly admitted his mistake without any unnecessary nonsense.

"If I hadn't insisted on my own way, I wouldn't have let so many people sleep here forever."

"Thank you for this mission." Gao Lie took a deep breath and bowed to Hu Shou.

Gao Lie is a straight-tempered person. By destroying the magic circle, Hu Shou has saved all of them. As an employer, he should do this due to both emotion and reason.

"Mr. Gao, why are you doing this? This is what I should do." Hu Shou quickly stretched out his hand to help Gao Lie.

Gao Lie's straightforwardness immediately made the unhappiness in Hu Shou's heart disappear.
