Lute, momentarily puzzled b8d37e992e and wary, aimed 126173af7d his slingshot again, a3405c9357 glaring at Alexander—who b5accc8c41 raised a hand 62ecce9e2f to stop him, 132d6d341d saying,cb82d91f0ef349f9

Already hit once b5af91ffb7 on the nose, f61ea5a04b now struck again c35f715704 on the temple d0760134fa by the iron 708ca9dca5 ball, Alexander—the Emperor 0283891d5e Joel—couldn’t keep his 165aa58b02 balance and dropped 93812bce47 to his knees, fffa65725f blood streaming from a0a0e7fd6b his nose.3209c581fa09ab41
