On the third day after the massacre of this settlement, a large group of Alan cavalry appeared on the road at the entrance of the village.

They were dressed in full-body chain mail, and they were covered with heavy fur coats, and the exposed chain mail shone with a dazzling silver light in the sunlight, so that those who knew the world knew to hide on the side of the road when they saw them from afar, because even the smallest of the team was an existence they could not afford to provoke.

The cavalry hurried to the slaughtered settlement, first smelling the inexorable stench, and then seeing the pedestal made of human flesh and the cross with two corpses blackened with blood, and the gloomy expression on their faces was revealed.

"The army of the Alans is coming, the army of the Alans is coming!" The Roman guards ran along the dirt roads of the village, shouting incessantly.

Hearing such news, the fear on everyone's faces was no less than that of the soldier who rushed to tell each other, and they all walked out of their homes with wide eyes, men and women, old people and children, their faces all revealed expressions of horror. The Alans came, they knew the news, who told them? What the hell are they going to do when they come? A series of questions haunted everyone's minds, and they could only pray silently for now, hoping that the Alans would not lose their minds when they saw what was in front of them.

The priest and a group of Iberian Romans were standing at the entrance of the village not far away, waiting for the arrival of the Alans, and they were so safe that there was not a single visible wound.

Look at the Romans, and then look at their own compatriots, one side has been driven out, and the other side is intact, and it is self-evident what the situation is with this Alan officer.

He wasn't a local, so he didn't know what was going on, or he didn't need to care about it at all. He believed that what he saw with his eyes was that the Alans were slaughtered, and that the Romans were numerous, which was enough to show that his judgment was very correct. What's more, the fanaticism for Christ can only be like this for these so-called bastards of the civilized world.

"Romans, must be Romans!" The officer of Alan clenched the hilt of his sword at his waist, and although he was silent on the surface, the tight masseter muscles could tell how angry he was.

He got up and walked quickly to the group of Romans, who were surrounded by his soldiers. They understood what their officers meant, so they dispersed in order to prevent the Romans from losing their minds in fear.

"Oh, oh, honorable lord." The priest looked at the leader of Alain tremblingly, his lips trembled, and he couldn't hear what he said, but he continued: "No, it's not what we did, yes, it's the devil, the devil did it!" ”

"Demons?" The Alan officer laughed out loud after hearing this, "Demon? I've never seen a demon before, you've seen it? ”

"Their faces are iron, dozens of them all have the same face, they have hideous faces, even if they kill people, they have the same expression." The priest's eyes widened, and he asked the priest in a heavy tone, "How can you prove that what you say is true, and how have I heard that you are at odds with any Alan?" ”

"No, absolutely nothing, my lord!" The priest was in a hurry, he hurriedly defended himself, and after speaking, he pointed to the three unlucky ghosts behind him and said to the leader of the Alans: "Yes, I am innocent, my lord, and the three of them can testify to me!" ”

However, the witnesses he identified were so frightened that they shook their heads again and again, denying the incident.

"They, they're just frightened, my lord, believe me, they're going to be ashamed of what they've done today, it's really a demon, a demon who doesn't know where it came from!" The priest kept defending himself, drawing a cross on his chest with his hands and chanting words in his mouth.

"It's the demon he invited!" At this moment, only to hear a woman in the crowd behind him stand up and point to him and say to the leader of the Alans: "Yes, we saw him talking to the demon with our own eyes, in the language of the devil. ”

The leader of Alain glared at the woman who stood up, and this sharp look instantly made the woman speechless for a moment, and she retreated into the crowd without knowing what to do.

"Is that so? Father? The Alain chief's tone was low, and his eyes were so fixed on the priest that he did not dare to make eye contact with him.

"Oh, yes, yes, my lord!"

The priest nodded repeatedly, and at this time he remembered what the "demon" had said to him, and he slapped his head and cursed himself: "Damn, how did I forget this!" ”

With that, he quickly took out the piece of cloth that the "demon" had handed him from his pocket, held it in both hands, and respectfully handed it to the leader of the Alans.

The leader of Alain snatched the sackcloth from his hand, spread it out, and looked at it carefully, with an incredible look in his eyes.

"Sueweihui ......" he said slowly, bowing his head thoughtfully.

"No, it can't be!" After a moment of silence, the leader of Alan shook his head again and again, and said in his mouth: "Impossible, the Suebi people are in the north, and they are far away from here, how can they appear here?" ”

"You must be lying!" The leader of Alain rose up, grabbed the priest by the collar, and yelled at the priest, "Are you really not afraid of death? You Roman beast! ”

"No, no!" The priest was frightened, he shook his head, and quickly defended himself: "Not so, sir, listen to me, it is not like this! ”

"What the hell is it given, I'll let you tell the truth!" The leader of Alain roared angrily, pushing the elderly priest to the ground.

"Yes, that's what the devil did!" Lying on his side, the priest said to the leader of Alain: "His voice was deep and deep, as cold as the water from a well in the ground. Their steps were light, or their feet did not touch the ground, their faces were like sculptures, their voices were really like those from hell, he was like a bloody creature, not only on his face, body, and on the tip of his sword, but he did not open his lips when he spoke, but he was telling me over and over again, that I should hand this thing over and over again, my lord. Yes, Master Diego, I am not lying, I take my life as a guarantee, I really, not lying! ”

The priest spoke more and more suspensefully, making Diego wonder, and he wondered what the hell was this?

First the convoy was plundered, then the Alans of the settlement were slaughtered, and then they were put on such a horrible appearance, they were so cruel, like the demons in the mouth of this priest, no one could clearly describe their appearance, but their descriptions were surprisingly consistent. Even if his subordinates insisted that they were Romans, he didn't believe that the Romans could set foot in their territory at will.

"Kofa!" Diego called out as he turned around.

He saw a middle-aged man in armor running in front of him, and he continued: "Order all the raiding soldiers to retreat, strengthen the guards between the various settlements, and I want to see what kind of evil thing is fighting against the Chosen Son!" ”
