The Supreme Magic Throne
Chapter 16 The Street
After seeing Jackson, John calmed down and said to Lucian, "You've never had training, so you should remember later, don't panic, make the attack steady and accurate. At most they only have daggers, so you have to use the length of the stick to keep your distance. Do not stop in place, but fight while running. Their numbers are many, you won't be able to win then they surround and attack you from various directions simultaneously."
He tried to just warn the various points that need to be considered, so that Lucian did not panic or attack recklessly.
In fact, Lucian had a deep understanding of this aspect, nodded in agreement, and replied, "Don't worry John, I'm a brave man who broke through the magician's secret room."
John stopped talking, the two of them placed a stick behind their backs so as not to attract the attention of passersby, then quickly approached Jackson and the thugs.
It's a street in the market area, just a ten-minute drive from Aaron's gang headquarters. This market was extremely prosperous, there were many merchants, adventurers, and mercenaries passing by. Therefore, John and Lucian's approach is not realized by Jackson and the thugs.
After taking a few steps, Lucian and John looked at each other, took out a wooden stick on his back, holding it with both hands, running towards the two thugs left behind Jackson.
Lucian realizes that this is the thug who kicked him and made him fall earlier. After rushing to the surroundings, he swung the wooden stick and hit his head firmly.
Not enough manpower, not enough practice, what Lucian learned from the last few battles, other than not being nervous, not panicking, stable and accurate, was to carry out attacks viciously. Once attacked, it should not be merciful or lighten the energy at all.
The sound of the swing of the wooden stick aroused the vigilance of these thugs, but within such a close distance, this thug was instantly hit by the blow of the stick once it turned a little.
"Thud!" Lucian's wand hit the bottom of the thug's ear, making the thug's gaze blur, falling unconscious on the ground.
On the other hand, John was not as cruel as Lucian. He did not choose the head as a hit target, he held a giant sword-like wooden stick with both hands and struck the right arm of the thugs before him.
Although it was not a fatal point, but John's manpower as an official knight officer, was much stronger than Lucian. The punch of his cane instantly made the thug fall, the arm swell, and could not be moved for a while.
Lucian who toppled a thug with a single punch of the stick did not stop, ran to the outskirts and swung the stick to hit the face of another thug who turned his head because he heard a strange sound.
The thug bounced and fell backwards, both noses spitting out blood and leaving a trail in the air.
The thug did not instantly faint, but feeling a fierce pain and a buzzing head made him roll on the ground.
At this moment, the thugs in front already knew. Looking at Lucian and John, Jackson's eyes turned violent, he gestured for the remaining twelve thugs to besiege Lucian and John.
Their daggers were unsheathed, reflecting the morning sunlight with a cold light.
Lucian resolutely remembered the principle of not stopping to move, so he ran in disarray around the periphery, sometimes forward, sometimes left, sometimes back, once there was a chance, then immediately counterattack, relying on the long advantage of the stick to target the head, neck, and vital points of the thugs.
The most important part of this kind of tactic is not to panic and not to be greedy, even if the enemy is separated and besieged from several directions.
The path was wide and long, the people passing by had already fled in all directions. Provided it doesn't end at a dead end corner or still be in place of an enemy that has been defeated, plus an enemy that John lured, or still be in the place of the enemy that has been defeated, four to five thugs chasing Lucian were simply impossible to block all of Lucian's running routes.
Of course, this was a great test of body stamina, normal people would definitely not be able to hold on after a few minutes.
Soon, one more thug falls down, but Lucian notices that John on the other side has been surrounded.
Although his strength was better than Lucian and the thugs, it was John who did not attack viciously at first, having subverted five to six thugs in a row, but John who did not attack ruthlessly at first, the fallen thugs could still continue fighting, pull out a dagger with their left hand, and target John's ankle. So to avoid the attack below, John was accidentally surrounded, the range of the running route was also getting narrower. If not for having agile skills and strong swordsmanship, John would have already stabbed five to six daggers targeting him, but his current situation was already extremely precarious as well.
Seeing this, Lucian hesitated for a moment, then gnashed his teeth and rushed there while swinging a wooden stick to hit the back of the head of the thug who was besieging John.
"Be careful!" "Jony! " The three thugs who were chasing Lucian earlier, shouted loudly to alert his partner while rushing there as well.
The thug named Jony reacted very quickly to dodge, so Lucian's wooden stick didn't hit anything.
But at the same time, this also allows John to get a chance to break free from the siege, he sweeps around with a stick to force the enemy to retreat, and flees beside Jony.
Jony jumped suddenly, then stabbed toward John's back with a dagger. The three thugs who were chasing Lucian had also almost arrived in front of John.
Jonny fell to the ground, as well as the dagger in his hand, he was unable to stop John from escaping.
But like this, Lucian is trapped by the thugs who besieged John earlier, and can only run a narrow distance.
"St." Lucian felt a burning pain in his back, and realized that he had not had time to escape and was scratched by a dagger, but Lucian did not give up or panic, because he probably understood something from Gary and the others, regarding how powerful an official knight was, plus this knight would not hold back anymore.
Among these thugs, there would definitely be no one with such strength, otherwise they would have already become leaders.
John fought while fleeing. Each of his attacks was extremely powerful and ruthless, but unlike Lucian, even if he found an opportunity, his staff sometimes missed. Although accurate though it will not hit the vital point of the enemy, because during the attack hit, the target must have fallen while screaming in pain.
In just ten seconds, the thugs chasing after John had already fallen down everywhere.
After clearing up these people, John immediately came to Lucian's aid. When Jackson saw this, he understood that John's strength was extraordinary, and the remaining four thugs seemed unlikely to be able to stop him, so he turned around and fled without thinking much, he said, since Aaron's gang headquarters was close, as long as he escaped there and gathered people, he could definitely make John and Lucian suffer a defeat.
In an instant, Andre who was besieging Lucian was knocked unconscious by John. The three remaining thugs saw Jackson escape, so some immediately did not want to fight anymore and escape, while the other was still fierce, stronger in swinging daggers, and more powerful in fighting back, so as to make Lucian's wounds increase again, precisely in the right hand, blood slowly flows out.
Withstanding the pain, Lucian fully believed in John, took a step forward, and with a long stick. He dropped the thug in front of him to the ground, while some of the thugs who lost their fighting spirit and ran away were also knocked down by John to scream in pain.
"Are you all right?" John asked Lucian worriedly.
Lucian shook his head, "It's okay, we just go after the guy."
So, the two of them brought their respective wooden sticks and chased after Jackson. At this moment, some unexplained thoughts came to Lucian's mind, "It feels like it's in the movie Young and Dangerous."
Jackson has run a certain distance. But because after becoming a leader, the amount of fighting and training became less, so his body was already a little fatty. It didn't take long for John who was a tall, long-legged warrior to catch up, and the distance between them grew closer.
"A little more, a little more." Jackson saw the end of this long road and continued to encourage himself.
Unfortunately John did not have to rely on speed to win this chase. Seeing that the distance was right, he dropped Jackson to the ground with a wooden stick thrown at the target on Jackson's back.
Then John followed and stomped on Jackson's back with his right foot wearing knight boots.
Lucian who had been beaten before, plus now had two new wounds, automatically his physical strength had almost reached the limit, so Lucian had just arrived panting heavily after more than ten seconds.
Just as Jackson was about to threaten Lucian, he heard John gasping and laughing, "Love he ate some of your fists, just take revenge."
“Fiuh, alright.” Lucian calmed his breath and raised his staff high, while John turned Jackson's body with his feet.
“How dare you..” Before Jackson's startled and angry words were finished, the wooden stick in Lucian's hand had already hit his face.
Some of his teeth were dislodged, a hint of blood splattered, Jackson's cry choked in the throat. His ears buzzed, as if he could hear nothing, and all the golden stars flew in front of him.
This punch completely destroyed Jackson, these two rascals apparently dared to hit him.
"W-what do you want to do?” Jackson asked vaguely with blood in his mouth, even the words he spoke himself as if they felt to be from another world, distant and ethereal.
John kicked down the dagger in Jackson's hand, and said seriously, "We're here just to uphold justice. You're the criminals who beat up Lucian, so we've already kicked him back. But about Lucian's ruined house and furniture, as well as his money being robbed, all need to be compensated."
"You're John, right? Aren't you afraid of getting kicked out by Mr. Wayne for hitting people on the streets like this?! Think about how if your knight status is gone, think of your father, mother, and brothers!" Jackson's outlook had improved, so his mind could also become a little calmer, and it seemed that he had managed to guess and threaten John's identity.
“You were hit again huh?” Lucian waved the wooden stick in his hand, after the fight earlier, his wooden stick seemed to have almost broken.
The grievances and anger in Jackson's heart were like boiling water, but he knew very well that Lucian must have dared to hit him, so he could only shut his mouth and look at John.
