Chapter 360: Cameo (Part I)
It's night, and the town of Tours is bathed in the tranquil moonlight.
When it was time to fall asleep, the old mayor Lacey was not sleepy, and sat alone on a stump in the open space in front of his house, and he smoked a cigarette silently. Those eyes, which were already a little cloudy, flashed from time to time. In those pictures, there will always be the figure of Sun Tzu Wood. The little guy was never a man of peace, and was very naughty from a very young age, which made the old mayor angry and loving.
Lesy couldn't help but laugh when she thought of Woode spilling urine in her own teacup as a child. But then, the old mayor was overwhelmed by great grief.
Not so long ago, Woode was executed for desertion. When the instructor announced this to him, the old mayor nearly fainted. He was such a grandson, but now, Wood is gone from this world forever. The old mayor did not swing his crutches at the instructor with his only sanity, but silently asked him to leave. After that, for three days, no one saw Lessy.
The person you love the most is gone, but life has to go on. So Lacey appeared in front of the people again, and a few days earlier, personally sent the soldiers away. They were the inhabitants of the town, they were other people's husbands and sons, but now, they had only one identity, and that was Sir Maude's soldiers.
They left the town and will soon be on the battlefield. The old mayor doesn't know how many people will be able to come back in their entirety?
The soldiers of Storm City withdrew, leaving only a squad of about ten men. They stayed in the town, in the camp outside the town. From the direction of Lacey's house, the light of the camp fire can be faintly seen.
Tonight, however, the fire seemed to be a little bigger, and the old mayor rubbed his old eyes. When the night wind sent a scorching smell to his nose, the old mayor was sure that the camp was on fire!
Moments later, the town's bell tower rang, waking the familiar people from their dreams. Lacey shouted with all her might, "It's on fire!" The barracks was on fire, and everyone got up to put out the fire. ”
However, the young, vigorous men of the town have left, and most of the people who have come out of the house are women, men who have already menstruated. When they were about to organize their men to go to the military camp to put out the fire, a team suddenly poured into the town. At the front was a group of knights, followed by half-masked warriors, armed with torches and swords, and gathered the townspeople together.
The fire/guns in the hands of these people frightened people, especially at the moment when the men in the family had left the village, and made the women feel helpless. Fortunately, the other party did not use force, which made the old mayor's heart feel a little more at ease.
A young man who looked like a leader, but was very young, came out of the crowd and asked, "Who is the mayor of this town?" ”
People subconsciously looked at Lacey, and the old mayor was not ready to avoid it, he stood up and said, "I am Lacey, this lord. Take whatever you want, just don't hurt these poor people. ”
The leader nodded, "Listen, we're Dick's Daddy's people. Now this town belongs to us, and as for the rebellion, the barracks outside your town is the end of the rebellion. Now, I want you to bring out all the food. All the food, if I find out who hid it, hehe, I hope you don't regret it. ”
Lacey said with a bitter face, "My lord, the men of the town have been drafted into the army. There's not much food left, so let's see if you can leave us a little. ”
"Less crap, I don't have that much patience. If you don't hand it over, it's okay, we can kill all of you and we can take it ourselves! The leader snorted coldly, and deliberately exuded a faint killing intent, so the temperature around him suddenly dropped slightly.
The old mayor had to ask people to fetch food from the house, from bread to jerky, and even the ale that the people had brewed themselves. When the chief had all the food taken away by horse, he said to the old mayor, "Go and tell your Sir Maud that Daddy Dick is no longer ready to cooperate with him." He has received a lot of benefits from us over the years, and now, we have to get it back little by little. ”
Lacey stood stunned, not yet able to realize what the young leader meant. The surrounding residents were engaged in a rambling discussion, and their focus was naturally on Maude's cooperation with Dick.
Of course, they knew that Daddy Dick was the most powerful bandit in the Bloodrock Wasteland, but they never thought that their lord would cooperate with the bandits. Now it seems that there is a falling out between them for some reason, otherwise there would be no revenge tonight. After the party had left, the old mayor and a few other bold residents arrived at the barracks, where several simple houses had already been burned down.
In the open space of the camp, the bodies of ten soldiers appeared scattered in different places. They all had traces of resistance, but they were mercilessly killed. The corpses, covered in blood, seemed to illustrate Daddy Dick's determination.
This night, Stormtown's territory was not peaceful. Taking the town of Tours as a biquette www.biquge.info, three towns not far from each other were attacked. Without exception, the town's defenses were quickly breached, and none of the soldiers in Storm City were spared. The town's food was looted, and the only thing thankful for was that the average resident was not harmed. But without food, they couldn't make ends meet, so the townspeople began to move to Storm City, bringing with them a message from Daddy Dick.
"Ridiculous!"
In the City Lord's Mansion in Storm City, Maud shook her head and said, "Unless Dick is crazy, he won't do this!" ”
Regg, who was standing next to him, had just made a detailed report on the attack that had taken place last night. He couldn't believe it, but the people who were transferred to Storm City were almost the same, which made people suspicious. Reg said in a deep voice: "Will Dick not be satisfied with our distribution of benefits over the years?" That's why you did this to tell us? ”
"Then he is too long-lived, he can live well all these years, and he is not protected by me. Otherwise, he would have ordered someone to kill him, so you can send someone to Dick to find out. Also, send a team to the border to take a look, and if you come across the murderers from last night, catch them first. ”
"I see." Reg saluted and turned to leave.
Later that evening, a raiding party left Storm City. The team consisted of a hundred men, including ten Thunder Knights and the rest of the Tempest Infantry. Leading the team was Regg's lieutenant Covey, a level 13 knight. With the configuration of this team, it was enough to wipe out the thugs who attacked the town last night. Judging from the information gathered from the mouths of the people, there were no more than twenty or thirty rioters attacking the town, which was not worth mentioning in Covey's opinion.
Joining the raiders was a Thunder Knight, who headed straight for the Bloodstone Wastelands. The knight acted so well that he did not notice his departing back, and fell into the sight of a pair of eyes. But even if he found out, he probably wouldn't care. After all, who cares about a little snake lying in the grass on the side of the road?
In the blink of an eye, it was nightfall, and a small bonfire was lit on a dirt slope. The knight sat by the fire and ate dry food, while the horse next to him calmly nibbled on the green grass nearby. After the men and horses had rested enough, the knight set out again. Due to the severity of the situation, he was instructed to travel day and night, and to bring back information about Daddy Dick in the shortest possible time.
Descending from the slope is a narrow road, and the cold moonlight casts on the road, filling the earth with the smell of loneliness and desolation. The moonlight fell from behind the knight, pulling a clear shadow on the ground. Lonely journeys are often unresponsive, and the knight's mind even drifts to the young wife of the family. So it wasn't until there was another shadow on the ground that the knight realized that there was an extra person behind him.
The long black robe was blown by the wind, which made the hem of the garment open on both sides look like the wings of a bat. The galloping man was faster than the galloping horse, not much better than the horse under the knight's seat. He still had time to smile at the knight, and then several black lightning bolts flew out of his arms.
There was a sudden sound of breaking through the air.
The knight instinctively leaned back, letting several pitch-black knives miss. However, one of the flying knives pierced into the front leg of the war horse, and the war horse suffered pain and fell to the ground with a scream. The knight rolled off his horse, and before he could adjust his posture, his feet suddenly tightened. He looked down and saw a chain wrapped around his heel like a viper. The chain pulled back, causing the rider to slide forward.
The man dressed in black was dragging the chain with both hands, pulling the knight in his direction. In the midst of his busy schedule, the knight drew his long knife and drove it into the ground, tightening the chain rope before he stopped. He hurriedly got up, and with a flower in front of him, the other party had already pounced.
In the man's hand, a jet-black knife flashed like black lightning. The knight stepped on the chain and was able to draw his steel sword to meet the enemy. The short knife in the man's hand was elusive, and he kept attacking around the knight. Every time the short knife appears, it is like a scythe from death in the shadows, and it kills you.
The knight gradually saw blood on his body, and he began to be unable to keep up with the man's speed, and the long knife in his hand became like a thousand pounds, and the knife momentum gradually became uncontrollable. When a wide, deep wound appeared on his neck, the battle was finally over. And from the knight's fall from his horse to his death, the whole process took less than three minutes.
Looking at the fallen Thunder Knight, Belmode smiled slightly. He put away his short knife and pulled it out from his horse's leg. The knight's body was put back on the horse again, and then the horse's buttocks were patted on the horse, and the horse ran in the direction it had come and gone. The horse was wounded, and by the time it returned to Storm City, it was probably already dawn. Belmode could almost imagine Maude's wonderful expression when he saw the knight's corpse.
At that time, the misunderstanding between him and Dick should be deeper, right? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but whistle: "What a wonderful performance." ”
While the exclamation was still wafting through the air, Belmode was already flying in the other direction. R1058
