The streets east of Douro were crowded with people, and civilians who knew it was under attack did not have time to pack up their belongings and fled the town. And some of the outlaws took the opportunity to loot and even set fire to the house - all the garrisons of the kingdom rushed to the west to resist the invading troops, and this was the best opportunity for those with evil intentions.

A shout came from a house deep down the street: "Big brother, there are a lot of valuable things here!" A man with a scar on his face took out a sack and stuffed it with something of value with impunity.

"These silver cups are worth a lot of money, don't miss them. Another man in leather armor didn't even let go of the less valuable things, "Look over there!" The man kicked the scarred man, and in the direction he pointed, a set of Kingdom light infantry equipment was thrown on the ground messily.

"These are good things!" the scar man hurriedly ran over, picked up the equipment and examined it.

"This is not a thing here, it is the equipment of those elite light infantry in the capital!" The eldest brother of the scar man had some vision, "These things are sold for more money than the two of us brothers make as mercenaries for a year, but why are they here..."

The mercenary brother walked around the house, and after making sure that there was no one in the house, he let the scar man walk out of the house with a sack.

After a while, the wooden bed in the house was opened, and a young girl crawled out from under the bed, she was the only daughter of Grand Duke Webster, Christine. Although she wore the women's clothes of ordinary people, her long dark brown hair and large eyes with slightly green pupils made her stand out.

Christine gently laid the planks of the bed and slowly approached the door of the house, peeking out the window with a soft gasp.

Suddenly, the scarred man's hideous face appeared on the other side of the window! Christine was so frightened that she stepped back, and the wooden door of the private house was kicked open by the mercenary brother!

"I'll just say, this glove is still very warm, someone must have just taken it off," the mercenary brother held the woolen glove of the kingdom's elite light infantry in his left hand, and slowly pulled out the sharp dagger behind the boot in his right hand, "Although I don't know where you came from, but, beauty, hehehe"

Christine slowly stepped back, her eyes fixed on the mercenary with a lewd smile on her face.

The mercenary brother slashed the dagger forward twice, whistled, and leaned towards Christine step by step, while the scarred man quickly dodged into the house and closed the wooden door of the house tightly.

"Big brother, it's been a long time since we've touched a woman!" the scar man said with a stupid smile as he threw the sack on the ground.

"This harvest is really..."Before the mercenary brother finished speaking, Christine pulled out a delicate short steel sword from his back and plunged it straight into his chest, he immediately grabbed the girl's hand tightly with both hands, his body couldn't help but shrink forward, his eyes stared at Christine's unhesitating face, but because of the blood gushing out of his mouth, he couldn't make a sound.

"Big brother!" Seeing such a mutation, the scar man immediately picked up a big knife and slashed at Christine.

The short steel sword in Christine's hand was grabbed by the mercenary, and there was no way to pull it out to block the scar man who rushed over, she bent down to dodge and pulled her hand out of the mercenary's hands, and the scar man's big knife cut off her eldest brother's head at once. The fear in the mercenary's eyes did not disappear with the separation of the head, and the falling head rolled to the corner of the house.

"Ahh At this moment, a white feather arrow broke through the window and shot right on the scarred man's back. He turned around in surprise to look in the direction of the window, and another white feather arrow shot at his heart, and before the big knife he was holding could fall, he fell to the ground first.

The duke's daughter in the house was still in shock, and the wooden door of the house was pushed open, and a young man who looked like a hunter walked in, "Are you okay?" Although such a greeting is nonsense, it plays a little comforting role for Christine, who has just killed for the first time.

"I'm not hurt, these two robbers..."

"I don't know why the city is in such a mess, these mercenaries have turned into robbers!" the young man has clear facial features, a vigorous figure, and the short bow in his hand and the white feather arrow on his back add a bit of heroism to him, "My name is Karoqi, and I am a hunter. Karocchi said as he held out his hand to the girl.

The Duke's daughter had never touched a strange man, so she didn't shake hands with Carochi, and straightened her clothes and hair by herself, "My name is Kesi," in fact, it was the name of one of her servants, "Can you protect me from here?" Christine showed an expression that could not be refused, and the strong-blooded Carroch had no way to resist the beautiful girl's request, so she agreed immediately.

Caroche pinned the steel sword to his waist and stepped out of the house with a short wooden bow in hand, Kosi following closely behind. Many civilians in the streets were fleeing to the east.

"The Imperial army has come from the west, there are tens of thousands of people, and there are monsters!"

"I heard that the south and north sides of the town are surrounded, let's flee east!"

"I saw that the steel-helmeted soldiers were invulnerable, but luckily I ran fast..."

The civilians fled east of the town in a tidal wave, and Carroch grabbed Koss by the arm and joined the "army" of fled. And when they followed the crowd to the edge of the town, the civilians in front stopped.

Someone in front of him shouted: "This is the Imperial Baron Burns, all the male civilians squatting, the women standing and not moving, those who are brave enough to resist... Immediately executed!" An imperial ** official shouted as he walked into the crowd.

Burns sneered with a horsewhip: "Those light infantry fled very quickly, and suddenly disappeared, they could only flee into the Douro." ”

The adjutant beside him: "Our cavalry chased out from the place expected by the intelligence, but there was no trace of the light infantry regiment, it must be the prestige of the baron that frightened the thieves!"

Burns: "These rats have escaped into the town, and although it is a bit troublesome, even if you kill all the people in the town, you will have to find the daughter of the Grand Duke!"

Adjutant: "Will the lord of the kingdom near the town..."

Burns sneered: "Not a single reinforcement will be available." ”

The garrison in the town was pinned down by the priests of the West, and most of these fleeing civilians were unarmed, even if they wanted to resist, they were just becoming the emperor's **, so the civilians who heard the order stopped and did as they were told. Burns ordered some of the cavalry to dismount, and they marched forward with steel guns, kicking away the civilians who stood in their way and snatching the young, beautiful girls out of the standing female civilians. An old man with a wrinkled face knelt down and pleaded not to let them take his daughter, but in exchange for a single shot, leaving only the frightened crowd and the crying daughter. A few cavalrymen also rushed into some people's houses and took the opportunity to loot.

Seeing what was going on, Karocchi clenched his teeth and clenched his fists hard, but Kesi shook his shoulders and pointed his finger to the narrow street on the side. Carocchi was just an ordinary hunter, and even if he was agile, he couldn't stand up to the large number of regular troops, so he had to flee from the alley with Koss.

"We're almost at the edge of town. As soon as Carocchi turned around and talked to Kesi, two Imperial cavalry appeared at the corner of the street, fortunately, Karoche reacted quickly, he hid behind a stone wall as soon as he pulled Kesi, this sudden danger made Karocchi's mind sober up a lot, "Will you lose your life for a woman you don't know?!" This thought immediately grabbed Karocchi, he secretly glanced at the panting Kesi, and then looked at the situation outside the alley, "You wait here first, I'll go out and explore the way." Karocchi said.

"Then you have to be careful. Kesi's eyes were full of concern.

"Rest assured, they won't do anything to men. With a hint of cunning in his eyes, Karoch slowly walked out of the alley, and the two horsemen were as sharp as cats, and when they turned around, they saw Karoch.

Karocchi held his hands up to signal that he was not a threat, but one of the horsemen pulled a throwing spear from his back and threw it at Karoch, piercing Karoch's chest. Carocchi still had doubts in his eyes, but the part where he was shot was already gushing with blood and fell to the ground.

Seeing Karocchi dead in front of her eyes, Koth cried out "Ah!", and the two horsemen quickly walked in and found Koth.

The spear-throwing cavalryman crouched down beside Karoch's corpse and pulled the short steel sword from his waist, "This short steel sword is the stuff of the Salins light infantry," and then he glanced at the captured Kosi again, "A maiden and a weapon that doesn't belong to the hunter, hehe." ”
