Chapter 444: Night Attack
"Chuck! Get the hell out of here! ”
An enraged Sir Tormen pushed hard and slammed the bedroom door open. On the large bed in the bedroom, a figure is rising and falling. Chuck was lying on top of a woman, and when he saw his uncle coming, he was startled, wrapped his lower body with the quilt next to him, and asked in a panic, "Uncle Tomen, why are you here?" ”
The woman on the bed shrunk into the corner screaming, and the door glared at her fiercely, gesticulating, and the two wolf-like guards dragged the woman out and closed the bedroom door.
"Why can't I come? Look at the good things you've done, you've messed things up! Tomon roared.
Chuck pointed to his still bruised mouth and exclaimed, "Uncle, you can't blame me for this. Look, that hillbilly even hit me! ”
With a flick of his cane, Tomen swept it to his feet and beat Chuck to a scream. The baron's face sank, anger rolling in his eyes: "You are still quibbling. Turranke has already sued me, and if it weren't for your insulting remarks from the beginning, there might have been room for things to turn around. Damn, do you know what a great opportunity this is for us? I managed to get this good job from Master Daniel, but you idiot, you have wasted my efforts! ”
Chuck covered his feet and said, "Uncle, it's not just a knight in the border land, what's the big deal." ”
"You're really ......" Thomen trembled with anger, and finally tore off the oil painting in the room and tore the picture worth hundreds of gold coins to shreds before he said, "What do you know, as long as he can kill the hungry wolf Duruff." Not to mention that he is a knight of the Frontierlands, even if he is not from the Empire, he is worth recruiting. If it weren't for your father's sake, I would have killed you today!" ”
The crumpled oil painting was smashed into Chuck's face, and the door slammed out.
For Chuck, the chaotic night ended in the light of dawn. At eight o'clock in the morning, a mysterious guest quietly visited, and Chuck took him into his study, carefully closing the doors and windows, not wanting outsiders to see the picture of his meeting.
The guest smiled, "On behalf of Lord Ryffers, I would like to thank you for twelve points. Mr. Chuck, you have done a great job in this matter. ”
Chuck snorted, "It's not easy for me to do this, look at my injury." And because of this incident, Uncle Tomon will definitely not reuse me in the future! ”
"It's okay, Sir Raffers will make up for it, don't worry." He placed a suitcase on the table and opened it, which was divided into three compartments. The largest compartment on the left was filled with gold coins, and the amount of gold was said to be thousands. There are two squares on the right, and on top of them are several pieces of amber citrine, each of which is worth more than a thousand gold coins, and together they are worth more than the simple gold coin on the left. Below, there is only one necklace, made of platinum, elegant and ornate in style, with a piece of jadeite with a clear texture.
The guest pushed the box forward and said, "These things are yours, and besides, Sir Les Ploughs invites you to Castle of Dawn, where there will be a more suitable location for you." ”
Chuck was overjoyed, not only did he get a lot of money, but he could be reused by Sir Raffles, which was naturally better than staying on the cold bench in Sunset City. Chuck took the suitcase as fast as he could, nodded and said, "Please reply to Sir Ryfuss, I'll leave tomorrow." ”
"It's a long way to Castle of Dawn, so please be careful on the way, Mr. Chuck, and wish you a pleasant journey." The guest smiled.
Saying goodbye to Chuck and turning out of the alley, two men followed, walking behind the guest. The guest didn't look back, and said in a deep voice: "That idiot will leave tomorrow, remember to do it beautifully, and don't leave any traces." ”
The two men nodded, and dispersed again, blending into the crowd of the street. The guest smiled and glanced at Chuck's house before turning into an alley and leaving. Lesford's reward was so easy to get, and in order to prevent Daniel from knowing that they were the ones who were obstructing it, Allen refused to join. Therefore, Chuck must disappear, and of course he can't do anything in the city, but if Mr. Chuck has some accident on the way to Castle of Dawn, it is not easy to say.
Chuck had been busy that day, secretly packing up all the possessions he could take with him, and preparing to secretly leave the city at night. Under the interweaving of several different moods, such as apprehension and excitement, Chuck finally waited for the evening, and Chuck had begun to fantasize about the good life after arriving at Castle of Dawn. At the same time, a village located more than 50 kilometers away from Sunset City also ushered in an extraordinary night.
The village of Denis is a village under the administration of Sir Tomen, not far from the Sumara River, which serves as the boundary of the territory. The villagers mainly rely on fishing for their livelihood, and some go hunting in the nearby mountains and forests. The village, which numbered less than 300 people, was not very rich, but fortunately Sir Tomon's taxes were still within their acceptable range, so that the village did not disappear.
It was getting late, and smoke rose from the village. On the outskirts of the village there is a wooden fence, mainly to prevent wild beasts from breaking in at night. The village has a guard of hunters, plus an infantry squad stationed here in Sunset City, to protect the villagers. The guard, which consisted of less than thirty villagers and soldiers, was often the bare guard, which was the bare minimum of their duty.
Tonight was no exception, and just after dinner, several soldiers who had taken their turn to keep watch arrived at the outpost on the outskirts of the village. The outpost is a small cabin, no different from the hunters' huts in the mountains. Inside, there was a rudimentary fireplace and a few beds, and wood was stacked outside so that the soldiers could keep warm by a fire late at night. It's just that it's not winter, so there's no need for these things.
The village of Denis had few foreign enemies, and even though the Sumara River was the domain of Count Oban, the village on the other side of the river did not pose any real threat to the village. The greatest threat is the wild beasts, which are mostly found late at night, so at this time, the soldiers are more relaxed, sitting on the stakes outside the outpost and chatting to pass the time.
Suddenly, a panicked hunter ran out of the forest ahead, and he even carried a few hares. However, due to his panic, the hunter fell three times in less than 100 meters, so that all the prey fell to the ground. Some soldiers recognized him, smiled and exclaimed, "Julian, why are you running so fast?" Are you in a hurry to go home and sleep with your wife? ”
Several soldiers laughed.
Julian, the hunter, ran to the outpost, gasped, pointed to the other side of the Sumala, and exclaimed, "...... No, it's not good...... Someone, I ......"
The soldier patted him on the back and said, "If you have something to say, speak slowly, don't be in a hurry." What do you see? ”
Julian suddenly raised his head and roared with all his might: "Army, it's the army!" The army that crossed the river from the Earlland, they are coming this way! ”
"What?"
While the soldiers were still shocked, there was a neighing of horses in the woods. They looked at it in disbelief, and the moonlight was shining tonight, and the grass out of the forest was silvery white. In the near-holy moonlight, a war horse suddenly burst out of the forest and plunged into the meadow under the moonlight. It was a knight, and a few more horses broke out from the midfield, and behind these knights there was a little fire. Soldiers with torches in hand ran out of the woods, and formed a torrent after the knights!
"Ring the alarm!"
"Prepare for battle!"
The soldiers of Denis village screamed, and at this critical moment, they still did not forget to ring the alarm bell, and they were quite well trained. However, as the first bell rang, several fireballs suddenly shot from the enemy's side and blasted straight towards the outpost. The soldiers outside the hut shouted and ran away. The next moment, the wooden house was blown up, and a scorching wave of air blew in all directions.
The soldier who was ringing the alarm bell ran out of the wooden house screaming, and he had turned into a fireball. After only two steps, he fell to the ground and was silent.
The war horse was so fast, but in a few moments, it had already rushed to the vicinity of the outpost. The soldiers looked at this qiē in despair, their strength was completely insignificant under the overwhelming momentum of the other party, and they could not even have the heart to resist. The knight who had come before him stopped, and the other knights and warriors passed by him in a tidal wave. Under the moonlight, the knight's silver hair reflected the moonlight, flowing brightly.
He looked at the soldier with bright red eyes and said lightly: "Surrender, you have no chance of winning." ”
One of the soldiers shouted unwillingly, drew his sword and rushed towards the knight. The others seemed to hear the knight sigh, and then a pitch-black sword in the knight's hand moved. Then there was an orange light under the moonlight, and that light swept over the soldiers. The soldier was shocked, and stopped there, then the light armor on his body cracked, and then his body leaned, and the upper body slid down to the grass, but the lower body was still standing on the spot.
It took a moment for blood to spurt out from the section of the corpse, spraying several nearby soldiers and the hunter all over their faces.
At this time, the village was already on fire, and the voices of people were soaring into the sky.
Alan looked at the remaining soldiers and asked, "Choose." Resist, or surrender? ”
The soldiers looked at each other with a wry smile, untied their weapons one after another, and replaced their answers with actions. Alan nodded and said, "Very good, you come with me." ”
"My lord, if you want us to participate in the slaughter of the village, then kill us!" The soldiers suddenly shouted.
Alan looked at them in surprise, but shook his head and said, "I'm not so brutal yet, as long as no one in the village resists, I won't kill lightly." ”
Only then did the soldiers put their minds at ease, that was their bottom line. R1058
