Chapter 169: Disaster (1)
Not only in rags, but also in tattered tents, and in tattered pots and pans...... Violet let let go of the reins and jumped off her horse, wondering what had happened to the Snow King's Knights, as if they had been sacked along with their camp.
Despite her petite stature, Violet was dressed in gold-encrusted armor and a red cloak, which at first glance looked quite like that. Hausman glanced and took a few steps. He threw the wine bag in his hand directly.
"Oh, Bad's messenger. Guys, what do you think he's sending a girl for?"
"At first glance, I knew you were the 'wolf' Hausman. Because, only you have a big sword on your back. Catching the wine bag, Violet didn't drink it. She didn't have time to sigh for the appearance of the Snow King Knights, so she planned to cut it out.
"Because of last night's fireworks, I was able to find you. Bard asked me to talk. He said: It is not a glorious thing for a large group of people to chase a swordsman with a poor child. And, he wants to remind you to gather more available people to deal with the crows as soon as possible. Now, I have to return to our own camp with Walker, on the orders of Lord Bard. When Violet Haar finished speaking, he took a sip of his wine when he saw Haussmann smile in acceptance.
"Bard Evan, when did he care about the crows?" Hausman probed.
"A month ago, we spotted the traces of Dragon, the Black Dragon Rider. And the spies from the City of Miracles also sent the news. The Order King is using the Crows to take control. Violet replied directly. The young knight didn't realize that the person in front of her was not all the way with her. Walker wanted to interrupt her, but it was too late.
Hearing these words, Hausman smiled with satisfaction. He liked the brown-haired girl because she told him so easily about the movements of the Knights of Merit. "It's late today and Walker can't go. He's got to help me one last time. When this is done, I will send someone to send Walker back, and I will send another gift for my young master to greet him. Hausman said.
"So, Violet, you'll have to make your way back to camp tonight. Lord Bard is still waiting for a reply. And I've got to help them, and it's for Gabriel's sake. Do you understand?" Walker handed Violet the package with the food in it. He knew it would take a long time to return to the camp, and she didn't have much to eat. He didn't want Violet to stay too long, because staying with the Snow King Knights was a hassle in itself.
Hausman heard something in Walker's last sentence. In order not to show the flaws, he could only cover it up with laughter: "If she stays here alone, she can breathe in the fresh air here." However, we'll have to go to the town ahead tonight to deal with the order-keeping there, and the air there will refresh us more than she does. β
Walker smiled and swallowed the bacon that Violet had left behind. He couldn't help but laugh secretly: Lord Bard had asked Violet to give Haussman bacon, but Haussman wouldn't appreciate it, but the bacon, it was really good.
"Today, God is really giving face, we want to wait for the night to fall, and it will be cloudy. Now, we can go, my esteemed Master of the Snow King's Order. Walker said.
"Brothers, pack your things, it's time for you to behave!" Hausman shouted, sword raised. His actions were meant to cause a ruin.
"I'll pass that on Lord Bud, but you'd better hurry back to camp. I don't like to breathe in a spirit-infested place. Good bye. Violet mounted her horse and turned. Walker stopped the horse's chew and fed the horse a sip of water.
"Good luck with your journey. Walker waved goodbye.
"Walker, you'd better not be stunned, we're off. Glenn reminded Walker, who was still looking at Violet.
Walker turned to look at Glenn, who had a cleanly shaved beard. Glenn's face remained the same, and he didn't turn around until Walker looked away. "Glenn, you haven't said anything else along the way. It's been so long that I've finally seen you open your mouth...... Hopefully, your best friend won't do anything too much. Walker put on his hood and pulled it over the ends of his forehead. He really didn't like being stared at like that by Glenn.
Glenn didn't want to talk much, but turned his head away. "I know Hausman very well and no one can stop him from doing what he wants to do. You'd better be cautious with us now. He said to Walker.
It wasn't long before the bells of Azure Town rang. Then, the town was filled with fire.
"What's going on out there?" said Aina, seeing patrols running through the streets from the courtyard.
Mrs. Colin gently stroked Aina's head. She has never had children, and she is old. She likes Aina very much, and treats Aina as her own child. "There must be another spirit breaking into town. It's Meg's thing. Ignore him and we move on to the blue jam. She said.
"We've got to go, this girl is pretty good. It seems that Mrs. Colin likes her quite a bit. Booth said to Meg.
"These damn spirits are always disturbing our rest. You go to the bell tower first, and I need to see our sentimental human prisoners first. Meg patted Booth on the shoulder, picked up the coat on the back of her chair, jumped over the well, and ran out.
Not long after Meg left, Mrs. Colin heard shouting again.
"Meg, Meg, Booth, what about the others?"
Listening to the voice, Mrs. Colin knew it was Werner. At this time, Werner was outside the courtyard, and Booth was about to open the door.
"Just now, he went to the bell tower. It's not a big deal, why are you so flustered? Try the sauce that Mrs. Colin made. We'll go when we're done. Booth pushed open the wooden door, intending to drag Werner into the courtyard.
Entering the door, Werner froze. The left side of his face was a little paralyzed, as if he had suffered a stroke, and he was hanging on his flesh all the time. As a result, he always leaned to the left to speak. If at night, he can scare people out of heart disease. So, he likes to cover the left side of his face with a cloth. Then the oily sackcloth remained on his head and hung on the left side of his face.
Werner lifted the sackcloth and said, "What time is it, are you still here?" Our men have already gone to the bell tower, and I heard that a human knight order is coming this way. β
"Knight, did Harley find out?" Booth hesitated.
Of course he found out, and this is not a prank of children. Werner's expression grimaced.
"It must have something to do with the humans we caught yesterday evening. Because we haven't met such a large number of knights since we came here. Booth took the bow and arrow that Mrs. Colin had handed him, and said suspiciously.
Werner recalls the divination he had done during the day. "I'm right, I've never gone wrong in my divination. This must have been done by him. A gleam flashed in his eye.
"So, you'd better go find Meg. He should have gone to the prisoner's punishment room by now. Hopefully nothing happened to him. Booth handed the dagger at his waist to Werner.
"I'll take this dagger, and I'll ask the human. I wish us all the best tonight. Werner took the dagger in his arms and turned away.
"What do you want to do to Glori? I heard what you just said!" Aina pushed open the wooden door. Beauty Nest
"I'm sorry, I tried to stop her, but ......," said Mrs. Collin, taking Aina by the shoulder, and said to Booth.
"It's okay," Booth sighed, "she has to know something, the man brought someone else here." β
"You're lying! I've been with him, how is that possible? I saw the guy with the dagger just now. What do you want to do to your brother?" exclaimed Aina.
"I'm sorry, but that's the way it is. Werner's divination never missed. I've got to go to the bell tower, everyone needs me. Master Ed must have been there, too. Mrs. Colin, please take care of her. Booth was a little embarrassed, so he scanned the courtyard to avoid Aina's gaze. Then he pulled the wooden door shut.
When Booth arrived at the bell tower, he found that it was just as Werner had said. Even more serious than what was mentioned in the divination, the human contingent that came was a well-trained order of knights he had never seen before, in fact, the Snow King Knights.
"Here, who's in charge?" Hausman stepped over the corpse of one of the residents.
"Are humans so bold now?" said Ed, stepping out of the patrol.
"We don't want to get in trouble, but some of you don't want to cooperate. So...... I can only kill a few first, sacrifice my great sword, and show their respective positions. Haussman was expressionless. He has long been numb to this kind of thing, and there are not a few who die in his hands, whether it is good or bad, of course.
"What a bunch of robbers you are. We don't have what you need here. Ed retorted.
"We're looking for someone with a Vigilante girl. If you don't bring him here, we'll have to search for it ourselves. Levi pointed his sword at Ed.
"You who rebel against the Prince of Order will be punished. And you humans can't desecrate our land!" Ed drew drew his sword.
"Your land, it's remote and isolated. The Order King isn't here, and your army is dealing with the Revival Legion and the Divine Promises, but it's far away," Livay looked at Ed playfully, then turned to the knights and smiled, "just their patrols, and this old man?"
"Haha, it's ridiculous to have an old man stand up and speak. The rest of them are cowards!" one of the knights scoffed.
"May the Lord of Order forgive these ignorant people. The patrol behind Ed was praying. This guy is kind, but also ignorant, and he thinks Kyle cares about such a thing, but he doesn't.
Another chance to perform, Levi pushed Ed away, and stepped forward to stab the praying patrolman: "Now, I can forgive you!" Then the patrolman clutched his chest and collapsed, as if he had not been injured in the battle, and struggled directly on the ground because of the pain, turning around, before closing his eyes.
With no way to cure it, Booth picked up the patrolman's sword and brought Edra back to the patrol. He said, "As Jura said, people are terrible. Not only do they blaspheme the God of Order and the King of Order, but they also harm us without impunity. β
"Ridiculous! You order-keepers have killed more people than we have killed. Hausman snorted. He shook his sword, meaning to ask who was next!
"Wait! That's who you want. "Meg brought Glori over.
Glori's hands and feet were tied, and his mouth was gagged. Glori glanced at Hausman and was angry. These orderliness have no idea who they are facing, and Haussman doesn't care about any real justice. Then, he watched Werner squeeze to the front, and saw Werner hand the dagger to Booth. However, he was caught by the patrol after the change of hands, and he could not break free at all. So, he could only watch helplessly.
"Meg, what are you doing? With Aina, we haven't asked yet. Ed retorted.
"Daddy, this guy has nothing to do with us, give him to them, right?" I heard it clearly in the back, they just wanted this guy. Meg explained.
"Wait! you can't do this! they're bad guys! they're going to kill him!" Aina shouted as she ran. In order to prevent Mrs. Colin from catching up, she also pulled down the barrels in the street. In the end, she was caught by Mrs. Collin, because the crowded patrol stood in the way.
Aina struggled in Mrs. Colin's arms: "Don't believe what he says, guys!"
"Oh, that girl who was taken away, you saved it, that swordsman, just a traitor to us. As long as you hand him over to us, we will naturally leave. Haussman explained.
Although Meg is the patrol leader in the town, she always needs Ed's guidance, and he is the captain because of some connections. Now, he is a little hesitant, because he is always inaccurate when looking at his appearance. "Daddy?" he asked.
"Let me think about it. β
Ed turned and looked at his compatriots. The patrol soldiers wore leather and straw armor, which was not comparable to the silver armor of the Knights. He looked at the patrolmen and the townspeople againβthe inconspicuous iron sword, and the shovel...... Only the dagger of the apprentice Booth was made of steel with his own sword.
Ed was about to agree to Meg's approach, but Aina's pleading eyes burst into Ed's sight. "No, you can't give him to them. Ed shook his head.
Meg looked at Booth in disappointment. Booth didn't dare to disobey Ed's words. Ed, not only taught Booth combat skills, but also took care of his family. Between the accidents, Booth had to support Ed.
Booth shoved Glori behind the patrolman, "Meg, I'm sorry. We all have to listen to Ed, because he is our leader. β
"Brother!" said Aina, like a sheep leaving the fence, running happily towards Glori. She pulled the ball out of Glori's mouth.
Hausman turned in disappointment. He turned his back to the knights and waved his hand: "Heh, the negotiations broke down, Walker's method really didn't work." I wanted to settle this matter gently, but it's a pity. In the end, we'll have to keep our swords stained with their dirt and blood. β
Of course, Levi understood what Haussmann meant. He commanded, "Kill them!"
"Daddy is so confused! He actually caused a human to be killed. β
Meg gritted her teeth in anger and could only draw her sword and bite the bullet, because he knew that Ed was right. But these knights do not leave easily, they are the scourge of death.
