Lord: I can see loyalty.

Chapter 266 Within Seven Steps, I'm Fast!

"Go! Hold them off!"

The musketeer captain wiped the sweat from the scars on his face and calmly raised his specially made musket.

At this distance—just one shot would cripple even a Grand Knight!

Although Vio and Alec were incredibly fast, almost impossible for ordinary people to spot on the battlefield, the captain was confident—

As a warrior specially trained by the Iron Hammer family for the "Musketeers," he started handling muskets at the age of five and devoted all his time to musket practice afterward.

Therefore, he was very familiar with the power, range, and even the maintenance and repair of firearms.

Facing the two great knights so close at hand, he remained calm and simply aimed carefully.

Vio had already reached the musketeers.

Without hesitation, the musketeers at the front raised their short swords and charged forward with a frenzied, fearless spirit.

Their only goal was to stall Vio and Alec.

The musketeers in the next row did not stop what they were doing; they immediately raised their weapons and aimed again.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Several gunshots rang out simultaneously, and smoke billowed into the sky, filling the surroundings and obscuring Vio and his companion's vision.

They had just moved to dodge the incoming missiles when the first rank of musketeers rushed up to them, brandishing their short swords and roaring as they swung them.

"Be careful, Your Excellency!" Alec immediately worried about Vio's safety, but this was of course unnecessary.

As a fourth-tier Grand Knight, Vio could not possibly be injured by a musketeer who had not learned swordsmanship, even without vision.

He simply twisted his body to dodge the first sword with incredible speed, and then kicked away the nearest musketeer.

His kick was incredibly powerful. Even though the musketeer was protected by an iron helmet, he was instantly dizzy and lost consciousness the next second, collapsing to the ground.

At the same time, Alec swung his greatsword, and a strong wind swept across the hilltop, carrying away the thick smoke and fog that shrouded it. Before them, the musketeers had not yet looked up, and they had not yet finished reloading.

Except for the captain.

At that moment, the captain was aiming his musket at them!

Vio instantly realized something was wrong and started moving, while the captain, after seeing their positions, immediately fired a bullet.

With a "bang!", a thick fog appeared on the captain's face. Without any hesitation, he lunged backward almost out of muscle memory, in case the enemy was not dead and launched a counterattack.

Vio also moved the moment he fired, but to his surprise, the captain's figure was clearly facing to the left at first, and Vio's body subconsciously dodged to the right.

But as if they had anticipated this, the other party slightly moved their arm the instant they fired, pointing the gun to the right!

"Damn it!" It was too late when Vio uttered those words.

Although Vio could see the speed of the bullet, he couldn't take back the action he had already made, and could only watch helplessly as the bullet broke through the smoke and came to his chest.

puff! ! !

The next moment, blood and flesh splattered everywhere!

Vio spat out a mouthful of blood, a rare occurrence for him, and collapsed to the ground. Although Alec rushed forward immediately, he was too late.

"My Lord Earl! Damn it!" Alec was agitated. He quickly helped Vio up and went through all the memories he had learned about battlefield emergency treatment at the Knight Academy, but he still couldn't find a solution.

Vio was somewhat dazed. The power of this attack was truly terrifying. He looked down with difficulty and saw a conspicuous hole in his chest, covered in blood.

He slowly exhaled, using his breathing techniques to suppress his injuries, while feeling fortunate in his heart.

Fortunately, he did not underestimate the enemy. Just as the bullet was about to hit his heart, he managed to change his position and avoid death.

Otherwise, this attack might have really cost him his life.

"Alec, I'm fine." Vio waved his hand, quickly calming Alec down. Then, he took a deep breath and stood up.

"This, this monster! It can still stand up after being shot by the captain!?"

"Damn it! Quick, next volley!"

The musketeers, who thought the battle was over and were about to celebrate with their captain, turned around and found that Vio had already stood up.

What was even more unbelievable to them was that Vio's chest wound had stopped bleeding and had even begun to heal!

"Not—dead?" The captain had thought that this shot had ended Vio's life, but he didn't expect that not only was he not dead, but he also stood up.

"Impossible—it missed a vital spot? At that distance, it should have hit the heart." He watched as Vio's posture returned to normal, paused, and then seemed to understand something, his expression turning even more grim: "Could it be that he sensed the danger the moment the bullet was fired and avoided a vital spot?!"

"Your guess is correct. You are the captain of the Iron Hammer family, right?" Vio's breathing had become steady. His recovery ability after the fourth level far exceeded that of the third level. Such an obvious hole had been healed to the point of being only a "superficial wound" in just one breath.

Without saying a word, the captain quickly picked up the musket again and prepared to reload it.

But this time, Vio and Alec won't give them a chance.

Almost simultaneously, the two vanished from their spots the instant he raised his hand. Alec then appeared on the left, forcefully repelling the first rank of musketeers who were still trying to fight back with his greatsword.

Vio appeared in front of the second row of musketeers, and with a simple outstretched arm, knocked several men unconscious.

Finally, he stood alone before the captain, who was still reloading his musket.

The moment Vio saw the person, the panel appeared.

Name: Flynn Garrison

Age: 30

[Faction: Captain of the Hammer Family Musketeers]

[Hobbies: Firearms, gunpowder, explosives, observing others]

【Features: High eyesight, hand speed, precision, adaptability, intermediate level in basic swordsmanship】

[Status: Shocked, thinking rapidly, slightly panicked]

As Vio approached him, the captain raised his musket, aimed it at Vio, and prepared to fire.

His filling speed is indeed several times faster than others.

Bang!

Smoke filled the air, and silence descended.

Alec and the musketeers were stunned; no one knew what had happened until the smoke cleared.

Vio and the captain were still standing on the field.

However, Vio had already grabbed the musket and moved it towards the sky, leaving Captain Flynn with disbelief in his eyes.

"Faster than a bullet—you—"

"Flynn Garrison, surrender. I need someone like you."

"Vio spoke in a calm tone, and the captain's gaze subconsciously fell on the wound he had just inflicted.

There were no wounds left, only a restored human skin and a small hole in the outer clothing.
