CH.28 The Three Goddesses of Vengeance (Part II)
Although the sky was still clear and sunny, the atmosphere in the room with the curtains closed was still dark. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Is there anything else the three young ladies need? If you don't have it for the time being, the small ones will go down first. ”
"It's nothing, you go down. If there's anything else, I'll call you. ”
A tall man hunched over and flattered and exited the room.
The three women in the house are all beautiful women with quite characteristics. The smoky gray-haired woman who had sent the person away before was sitting by the candle wiping the throwing knife, her peacock-blue eyes revealing sharpness; Lying on the bed was a tall woman with a blade of grass in her mouth, her long carrot-colored hair tied into braids, her pale ochre eyes shining brightly, her wheat-colored skin and graceful muscles, outlining a wild beauty; Standing by the window was the shortest of the three, with long light-colored hair tied at her waist with a beautiful bow, and her sea-colored eyes looking very charming, and she was gently opening the curtains to observe the situation downstairs.
"How's it going out there, Megaella?" The smoky gray-haired woman asked the woman by the window.
"There are a lot of people gathered outside this building, they all have weapons, they seem to be guarding against something?" Megaela replied, "I always felt that it was not a good idea to take this business, but there was no way to support Tisiphne. ”
The wheat-skinned woman was Tisiphne, who was angry but didn't intend to get out of bed. "Yes, I'm just humbly trying to survive for a while. Unlike some people, they spend all their money on things outside of their bodies. ”
Mejila stroked the beautiful earrings on her earlobes and shot back, "Some people's survival needs are greater than the needs of ordinary human life, and they are no different from beasts that rely on instinct to live." ”
"You guy......" Tisiphne suddenly burst out of bed and pounced on Megaella.
Megaela deftly dodged, hurriedly hid beside the smoky gray-haired woman, and said in a pitiful voice: "Sister Alexto, Tisiphne is so terrible. ”
Although Tisiphne was very angry, she didn't dare to make a mistake in front of Alexto, so she could only say to Megaela hatefully: "Don't keep looking for Alektor as a shield if you have the ability." ”
"Alright, don't make any more noise." Alecto could only show the momentum of the eldest sister at this time, "Megaella, if you are not satisfied with your work, then you should not do this." With your whip skills, there are many nobles in the city who will treat you like a treasure. Tisiphne, if you could use your physical strength in a measured way while working, you wouldn't need so much food, and the trident is not such a heavy thing. Alright, alright, stay cool. ”
The two who had been trained by Alecto had no choice but to return to their original positions, glared at each other, and rested on their own.
"It's so glaring." That's what Redknapp's first words when he came out of the interrogation room.
"There's almost nothing of value, and it looks like we have to find their heads." Thorgrande came out from behind him.
"Then we need to pay a grand visit to the big boss, we need to be ready."
"Tomorrow, let's go and kill them all in a dignified manner." Thorgrande seemed to speak louder.
"Lord Leus, please tap, the wall has ears."
"Oh, indeed." Thorgrande immediately said, "But it's all Knights Templar, so it shouldn't matter. As he spoke, he glimpsed with satisfaction that the figure in the corner had disappeared.
That night, a manor house on the outskirts of Shurasa was brightly lit, and the yard was filled with figures busily carrying things.
"Boss Cassiu, everything is almost moved, and it's time to go."
"Okay, let's go." The thief's boss ordered in a panic.
"Everyone, don't worry, the show is about to begin." An unfamiliar voice burst into everyone's ears.
"Who?" The thieves nervously raised their weapons.
"Cassiu! Do you think you'll be able to escape the palm of that adult's hand? A slender figure stepped out of the shadows of the firelight, "Dare to run away after the mission failed." ”
The thief leader's pupils dilated and contracted sharply, and the steel knife in his hand tightened, squeezing sweat out of his skin. "In that case, let's fight to the death. Brothers, do it! ”
The thieves shouted and rushed to each other. The man on the opposite side calmly drew his greatsword and slashed, and a column of blood erupted from the thief, and the blood flowers glowed with a strange luster under the light of the fire. The first group of thieves rushed forward were immediately dead and wounded, and bows and arrows flew from the shadows as their mourners.
The leader of the thieves took a step back unconsciously, and the other party came prepared. "Whoever can kill this man, I will give him half of the treasure, up! Kill him! ”
Man dies for money. The thieves seemed to have forgotten the existence of the bow and arrow, and desperately wanted to kill the man in front of them. It's a pity that in addition to bows and arrows, men's two-handed swords are also their life-killing talismans. The attacks of dozens of people could not hurt him in a short time, and when the man's companions came to the rescue, the situation turned into a one-sided massacre.
The essential difference between a thief leader and an ordinary thief is that the thief leader knows that life is more important than money, so the thief leader named Cassiu chooses to abandon his belongings and run away. And the opponent also seemed to be hindered by his men, and did not pursue him.
The leader of the thieves, Cassiu, managed to make it to the backyard, but there were already people waiting here.
"Who is it?"
"I'm just a traveler from a foreign country, but in order to return home as soon as possible, you must be arrested." The man with amethyst-like eyes stepped out of the darkness.
"Your Excellency, come to your senses." Thorgrande raised his sword and went straight to Cassiu.
Kasiu's combat skills aren't in the flow, but he's not a fish belly either. Sogrend's first move was dodged by him, but he also threw away his steel knife and fell to the ground. Just as Sogrede was about to capture him in one fell swoop, a throwing knife interrupted Sogrend's attempt.
Thorgrande knocked the knife down and looked at the comer. It was three women, none other than Alecto and the others.
Kaxiu looked at the reinforcements, and hurriedly grabbed the life-saving straw in front of him, "Quick, kill him for me, and I can double the commission for you." ”
"Marstar's Juggernaut, we don't want to be your enemy if we can, but if you insist on not letting our employer go, our sisters will have to fight your Excellency." Alector didn't even look at the head of the thieves.
"That's not good, why don't I pay you a considerable commission, so you don't get in the way." Sogrand made a graceful suggestion while always on the alert.
"Then before completing the previous contract, we will not accept your proposal, this is the principle of mercenaries."
"Then you will be offended." With that, Sogrend threw himself at Alecto, the leader of the three.
Alector retreated quickly. Sogre clenched like a goshawk to a hare. Suddenly, Tisiphne stepped between the two of them, and the trident swung sideways. Sogrend was short, and looked up to see Alector leaping up from behind Tisiphne and throwing three throwing knives. Thorgrande rolled sideways, throwing knives digging deep into the dirt. Before he could catch his breath, Megaella's whip rushed in. Thorgrande hurriedly covered it with his cloak, and the cloak was instantly split in two by the whip.
Tisiphne screamed and stabbed with a halberd, but it was empty. Before she could think about it, her lower abdomen was slammed by the hilt of the sword. But she survived the blow with a timely contraction of her abs, sweeping Sogrand to her left side. Seeing this, although Saogrend was surprised in his heart, he did not hesitate in his hand, and hit his left fist and left knee twice in succession. Tisiphne could no longer hold on, and fainted all at once. Thorgrande held her up, then gently lowered her body to the ground.
Alecto and Megaela never expected someone to dodge their perfectly coordinated combo attacks and quickly take down the strong Tisiphne. The two men became cautious, attacking as far apart as possible to avoid burrowing in the fight.
Megaella's repeated whip attacks were dodged by Sogrend, and she swung it again, only to be grabbed by Sogrerd a moment before it was withdrawn, when the whip was stretched to its maximum length. Megiera was taken aback, knowing that with a whip as skilled as her, the tip of the whip could easily reach the speed of sound. But now was not the time to be stunned, and before she could recover her senses, Sogre pulled hard, and Megiella's whole body flew forward. Sogrerd rushed over and slammed Megaela into the trunk of a cedar tree with his shoulder. Megiella, who was weaker, could not withstand such a blow, and as soon as Sogrend turned around and struck her in the back of the head with a slight blow, she fainted and collapsed.
Seeing that her two female companions had been knocked down one after another, and the other was unscathed, Alector hurried and threw all the remaining throwing knives at Sogrend, and then went straight to Sogrand. Sogrerd knocked out half of the throwing knives, dodged half of them, and took advantage of the situation to block the opponent's thrust. Alecto had no rules at all at this time, just to fight hard. Seeing this, Thorgrande threw a strong forehand, which was blocked, and with a horizontal pull, the sword flew out of Alecto's hand, right between the feet of Cassiu, who was trying to escape.
Alector gasped and said, "You have won, what are you going to do with us, kill us or what do you want?" ”
"If I want to kill you, there are three more corpses on the ground now," Thorgrande withdrew his sword, "You are all very skilled, if you don't want to be a mercenary for the rest of your life, why don't you let me provide you with a contract." You guys can think about it. ”
Just as Alector bit his lip and thought about it, Redknapp's voice burst in, "Ah, man, why do you look so obscene, even your pants are wet." Isn't it just a thin sword that almost ruined you? ”
"Lord Rednap, you've come just in time, that's the bandit leader here. You can do it. ”
"You turned out to be from the Knights Templar, don't mess around, or I'll tell Captain Mars to let you go around without food." The tone of the leader of the thieves was not at all intimidating.
"Oh, don't worry, you'll be able to see him soon." Redknapp replied lightly. "Your Excellency Luce, you actually have three beauties alone, it's too black-hearted. And you actually let the two of them faint, it's so manly. ”
"Lord Redneck, I would be glad to hear your compliments if you gave up that misleading wording. Well, these three young ladies have just helped me capture the enemy, so you can reward them according to the rules. ”
"Your Excellency, I agree to your proposal, let's talk about your contract."
"Joining the Guards of Her Royal Highness Princess Sigrani should be a good choice. What about the opinions of both of them? Thorgrande glanced at the unconscious two.
"I can represent their opinions, after all, the best way out of being a mercenary is to eat imperial food." Alecto replied.
"Then the incident ended perfectly, go back to drinking!" Redknapp said, putting his arms behind his head.
The next day, the Knights Templar handed over the results of their investigation into the incident, which was largely conclusive and conclusive. Manfred Maas was dismissed for colluding with thieves, but he had already been heard of and fled. Naturally, his position was replaced by Redknapp, who had played a major role in the case.
As for the fact that the incident involved the Rossi family's intention to rebel, Sogrerd advised Sigrani not to report it, citing insufficient evidence and premature timing. Sigrani took this matter as if it were a cloud in the sky, and closed her eyes.
With the recommendation of Saulgrande and Redknapp, the three of Alector successfully joined Sigrani's guard, the Hundred Flowers. Although some people were not convinced, after the three showed their skills, all the discord disappeared.
But what the nobles of Marstar really care about is that the time between Sigrani and Saugland has finally come to an end, and it seems that this love affair will not escape the fate of ending in tragedy. Hermes II did not want to keep his promise, but a word from Prime Minister Barbec prevented him from being known for his "treachery".
"If Your Majesty executes Thorgrande Leus, then Her Highness will hate you for the rest of her life. But if it is Luce who insists on going back, then Her Royal Highness the princess will hate and hate that affectionate man. ”
Of course, for the Rossi family's henchmen, Sogrend's stay in Mastar would certainly be of great help to Sigrani, and it would do more harm than harm to send him back to Farensi. And he may not be welcomed by the royal family of Pallas when he returns, even if the royal family of Pallas has figured out everything before, Farensi has already fallen into the quagmire of civil war, and will not have the energy to plot against foreign countries for the time being.
In the summer of 344 in the mainland Gregorian calendar, it seems that it will not be calm like the neighing of a hundred insects.
