Maximus, who was riding a horse, had his hands tied by the Praetorian Guards and was led by a long rope. He followed the horses of four Praetorian Guards with an expressionless face.
"Mo is dead?" Thinking back to what Quintas said about Ji Mo's death, he was filled with sadness. He really regarded Ji Mo as his good brother.
"My wife and children are also in danger now, I can't die!" Looking at the gradually fading darkness, Maximus's eyes gradually lit up, that was the glory of fighting for his life!
At this time, the leading guard stopped. After dismounting, he pulled Maximus and said: "Get down!".
Maximus dismounted indifferently, and then two guardsmen rode back and forth on the horse to observe the surrounding situation, while the remaining two went to carry out the order to execute Maximus.
"Chance!"
Seeing this situation, Maximus's eyes lit up.
After walking dozens of steps, a guard pressed down Maximus and asked him to kneel on the ground. A guard stood in front of Maximus to prevent him from resisting, while the other guard stood in front of him to prevent him from resisting. The guards drew their swords.
"Let me die quickly, like a soldier!"
Being beheaded like a prisoner certainly didn't look like a soldier's death.
Thinking of this, the two guards were stunned for a moment. After looking at each other, the guard who drew his sword gave up the idea of cutting off Maximus' head, and instead walked behind Maximus, holding the sword with both hands, and cut off Maximus's head. He raised it high, with a fierce look in his eyes.
but!
Just as he dropped his sword, a black head suddenly enlarged in his eyes!
It's Maximus! The moment the opponent raised his hand, he stood up from his kneeling position and hit the opponent's chin with his head, knocking the opponent's brain out. While leaning back, he grabbed the sharp sword with both hands. He cut his own hands with a blade and snatched the weapon from the opponent's hand.
"Boom!" Holding the blade of the sword, he used the hilt of the other end to hit the guard in front of him on the head. After blocking him for a while, he held the blade of the sword, turned around, and stabbed him hard. On the chest of the Imperial Guard behind him.
"Hey!" He pulled out the sharp sword, flicked it lightly in his hand, held the hilt, looked at the guards in front of him who had drawn the sword but could not pull it out, tilted his head slightly, and said softly with murderous intent: "In winter, sometimes the frost will stick the sword and scabbard together!"
As he finished speaking, the sword in his hand slashed through the opponent's head.
Cutting the rope that bound his hands, because he moved too fast, the two guards dozens of steps away did not notice his movements, and Maximus watched the two guards on the other side separate on horseback. , threw out the sword in his hand.
Suddenly, the flying sword passed through the body of a guard like a huge hidden weapon. However, this also attracted the attention of the last Praetorian Guard.
However, since three of the four Praetorian Guards were gone, Maximus had nothing to fear.
Holding a dagger, when the Guards rushed towards him, Maximus moved his steps and grunted, and at the same time, the dagger in his hand slashed across the opponent's chest.
"Puff!" After the Imperial Guards rode a few meters away, their bodies rolled off their horses.
Seeing this, Maximus breathed a sigh of relief. After throwing away the long sword in his hand, he reached out and touched the wound on his right arm to feel the size of the wound.
"If you are dying, such a wound..." Looking at the blood on his hand, Maximus closed his eyes for a moment, suppressed the sadness that appeared in his eyes, led the two horses, and murmured: "Go home!" .
…
Almost an hour after Maximus left, a galloping figure, followed by a horse's long cry, became clear, it was the end of the season!
It took him a lot of time to carefully identify the traces left by the other party, and then he finally reached the place where the other party stopped.
"The corpse! It's the Praetorian Guards!"
Seeing the body of the Praetorian Guard, there was a joy in Ji Mo's eyes. Since it was the body of the Praetorian Guard, it meant that a battle had taken place, and since a battle had taken place, Maximus would definitely win!
After walking around, he found four corpses and a horse wandering not far away. What reassured him was that there was no Maximus among them, and they were all Praetorian Guards.
"Looking at the body, the time of death should be about an hour!"
"It seems that Maximus has escaped, and as long as he escapes, in order to save his family, he will definitely return to his home! Fortunately Sislo gave me the map, otherwise, I really wouldn't know how to find it This guy!" Ji Mo whispered, got on a horse that was wandering around in the same place, then took the horse he rode on, followed the way he came, and left in a hurry.
He needed to get back to the vicinity of the military camp first, because the map Maximus drew was the route from his home to the military camp.
Some of the words on the map were marked in Spanish. When he saw it at the end of the season, he was very depressed at first. But to his surprise, although he didn't recognize the words on it, the meaning of the words automatically changed to Chinese and appeared to him. Needless to say, this is naturally the result of the system.
Looking at the map, the two horses alternated and headed towards Maximus' hometown. However, he originally left later than Maximus, and he needed to compare the map with the actual road he walked. The gap between them also takes some time, so the distance between them is getting wider and wider unknowingly...
…
Maximus also rode two horses interchangeably. He had already gone through this road home countless times in his mind. He didn't need to distinguish the road at all, he just needed to gallop all the way!
He has never been so anxious. He doesn't know what the situation of his wife and children is now, and he doesn't know what they will face, so he doesn't have time to take a sip of water along the way!
The wound on his shoulder was not treated, and the blood was leaking out little by little, making him weak. However, even so, he seemed to have no feeling at all, and kept running on the road with his strong will.
There is only one thought in his mind, and that is to go home quickly. Only by returning home quickly can he save his wife and children who may die at any time!
One horse was exhausted, and he was also extremely tired, but he tied himself to the other horse, lay weakly on the horse's back, and continued running on the way home.
Finally, when the horse under his crotch was reaching its limit, he saw the hill where his home was located.
But his heart shrank tightly, just because on the hill, the place he wanted to return to in his dreams, there was billowing smoke!
