Chapter 436 Constance
"grown ups!"
Christina screamed after Howard blocked the knife.
But the person who hurt Howard refused to give up. The weapons she held were two sharpened table knives. The teeth of the knives were worn away, and the edges were shining dangerously.
The attacker turned the handle of the dinner knife to attack Christina. The attacker saw the danger of the long sword in the little maid's hand and chose to fight with her.
Caught off guard, Christina could only retreat continuously. She tried to swing her sword several times, but was blocked by the opponent's hilt and failed. The attacker even wanted to cut her throat, but Christina dodged in time, so the knife did not hit her, but only cut her hairband.
It turned out that because Howard said that the person behind the door was one of their own, Christina was caught off guard and did not kill him. However, the other party refused to even stop and listen to their explanation, so Christina had to take it seriously.
When the attacker swung the knife again, Christina dodged the attack with a back flip in gymnastics. While rolling, she reached for her lower back. When she stood up, she had a short sword about half a foot long and one finger wide in her hand.
Facing another attack from the attacker, Christina dodged it by slightly turning her head, and at the same time, taking advantage of the close position of both bodies, she stabbed the other's neck with the dagger in her hand.
"Enough! Stop!" Howard shouted in time. It's not that he only reacted at this moment after watching the show, but all this happened in only five seconds.
Christina stopped her movements instantly. The tip of her sword was already against the attacker's skin. If it moved forward half a centimeter more, the attacker's carotid artery would be punctured.
The attacker may have some combat experience, but it is not enough in front of Christina. She was able to fight with Christina only because the little girl did not want to kill her at first.
"How is your injury?"
After being stopped by Howard, Christina did not insist. She pushed the attacker away and ran back to Howard, then grabbed Howard's stabbed hand to check the injury.
But by this time, the wound on Howard's hand had healed, but there was still a cut on the sleeve.
"You...you are not hurt?" Christina was stunned.
Howard didn't answer Christina's question, but just pulled his hand away rudely. Now he turned his attention back to the attacker, who did the same.
Then both parties recognized each other at the same time.
"It's you?" The attacker lowered his guard. "It's you. Why are you here?"
The man who attacked them was the one who approached Howard in the restaurant that night but Howard ignored him.
Before Howard could answer, there was another violent explosion and shaking, and Ohm Messiah came with a warning in the headset.
"The sound of your fighting has attracted the enemy." Howard said, "Hide quickly if you don't want to be discovered."
After saying that, Howard directed Christina to hide in the corner of the room where the attacker had just hidden.
The attacker couldn't understand Howard's behavior for a while, but seeing that Howard and Christina were both so serious, after a brief hesitation, she also hid in the corner.
"My name is Constance, and this time you can tell me your..."
Before she could finish her words, Howard covered her mouth.
"Don't talk nonsense now!" Howard whispered, "Do you want to expose us?"
After letting go of Constance, she indeed calmed down, but her eyebrows were also twisted together.
Not long after, the sound of approaching footsteps was heard again outside.
"Sir, I'll go take care of them," Christina said, but just as she was about to rush out, Howard pulled her back.
"There are two groups of people," Howard said.
"Leave the other group to me," Constance said.
Howard looked at Constance with a slightly strange look:
"You can not."
Constance is a human being with relatively pure genes who has passed four tests. So judging from the basic physical data, this guy will not be much stronger than himself. The most intuitive example is that Howard can react to Constance's attack movements. If it was him instead of Christina who was attacked just now, Constance might not be able to defeat him 100%.
"you!"
"You can't" These three simple words almost made Constance explode, but this woman was able to distinguish the severity of things when she was angry, so although she was very unhappy, she finally suppressed her anger.
So she simply leaned back to make her attitude clear.
"Christina, both groups of enemies are handed over to you." In the end, Howard chose to let the maid solve the current trouble.
Christina: "Yes, my lord."
But just as she was about to rush out, Howard held her back again: "Don't be in a hurry."
In Christina's puzzled expression, Howard further explained:
"There are two enemy groups outside the door, thirty meters apart. The first group consists of six people, their primary weapons being laser rifles. The second group consists of eight people, armed with melta shields, blast shields, and fragmentation grenades. The one holding the shield is wearing power armor."
After hearing Howard's story, Christina's expression gradually became solemn. In a closed space, the melta weapon can be said to be a super killer. Facing this situation of being attacked from both sides, even if an ordinary Space Marine rushed out to kill the enemy but was too slow to let the melta be launched, he would only die.
This is also the reason why Howard did not let Constance participate in the battle. This woman may have enough courage, but her cognition is still lacking.
Constance also put away the indignation on her face after hearing Howard's intelligence. Howard was right, she couldn't do it. She had originally thought that the so-called enemy was just two or three unprotected soldiers, but after hearing what Howard said, she really couldn't deal with such an organized and fully armed enemy force.
However, she looked at Howard with more curiosity. How did this seemingly ordinary human know this information?
But Christina didn't ask Howard how he got the information. Her eyes remained firm.
"My Lord! I will protect you with my life."
"Hold your life safe and don't use it so easily," Howard said. "I'll detonate the fragmentation grenades carried by the second team later, but this shouldn't be enough to disable the enemy in power armor. Their weapons and firearms will also be disabled for five seconds. Christina, I'll take care of most of the enemies for you. Can you handle the rest?"
Christina: “Easy as a whirl!”
