The captain, Yu Li, took two steps forward and began to dig down on the thick snow, and under the slashed snow hole, on top of the striking snow nest, Yu Li saw a patch of scarlet.

Hank, who was in the back, asked suspiciously, "What did you find?"

Immediately after that, Yuri pulled out a piece of intestines from the snow nest, and Captain Yuri did not speak, but continued to dig down, and after finding more intestines, he spoke: "Xili... "Didn't you hear me calling you?" Yu Li looked up at this time, and the hideous scars on his face began to squirm with a surprised expression: "Hank... Let's go...""Hank?"

Yuri, who still hadn't heard an answer, turned his head, and he saw a small green-skinned mountain of flesh, three meters high, and at this time, the huge palm pinched Hank's head like a plaything, constantly twisting in the palm.

You Li pulled out the long sword at his waist and slashed straight at the orc in front of him, without any fancy movements, it was as simple and direct as that.

And the strong orcs like a huge mountain, wielding the giant axe in their hands, are vigorous.

"Bang~"

An unexpected scene. Yu Li, who was two heads lower than the orc, struck the axe with a sword, and then weirdly struck another sword, shocking the orc away. The victorious Yuri didn't continue to make a move, and didn't even pay attention to the sluggish Siri who stood in front of the demon he had kept talking about.

Yuri ran back frantically, but the footsteps that shook the earth behind him still didn't stop, and he glanced back slightly, and a group of green-skinned flesh mountains continued to rush towards him waving the giant weapons in their hands.

The thick snow severely hindered his escape, but the tall orcs were unaffected.

The gradual shortening of the distance made Yuri impatient, and he ran forward frantically, not even paying attention to the horses as they passed by.

Let the orcs tear the poor horses apart, tear them apart, and chop them into pieces.

At dawn, Yewang Fort, the closest city to the Ice Peak Fortress, at this time, a soldier in the lord's mansion ran in in a panic: "Report ~ Lord Lord." ”

The soldier at the door quickly stopped this impolite guy: "Hey~ Big head soldier, what do you want to report, it's not yet time for the lord to deal with government affairs." ”

"Please let me meet with my lord, or a scholar, I have something very important to report to them. The soldier, who looked to be fifteen years old at most, was dressed in a rudimentary cotton coat and repeated the words in his mouth.

"Listen boy, don't think that you can do whatever you want if you pick it up from the lord, there are many orphans like you in the army. The soldier standing on the left side patted him on the shoulder and said.

"Hahaha, Leon, don't take yourself too seriously, think that being a herald will be lawless, now there is nothing bigger than the lord's rest. And the soldier standing on the right hand pushed the half-grown child who was about to walk in directly.

"What are you arguing about?"

A majestic voice soon came from inside the room, and then a strong man with brown hair and nearly two meters tall walked out.

After hearing the voice, the two soldiers standing guard at the gate immediately lowered their heads and said in unison: "Lord Lord!"

"Thank you for your hard work, go and rest!"

"Yes!"

After the soldiers standing guard walked away in a respectful procession, the man turned his head to look at the fifteen-year-old herald, and the child named Leon quickly lowered his head like the soldier standing guard at the door: "My lord." ”

"What did you just say you were going to report?" asked the dignified man, looking at the child.

"The matter of the Ice Peak Fortress, there are watchers over there who have escaped, and according to the law, you should be beheaded personally. ”

"Take me to see it. ”

----------

At the guillotine outside the city, the majestic lord stood at the man in the bearskin cloak in front of him with his sword and asked, "What's your name?"

"Newspaper... Sue my lord... My name is Yuri. ”

"Yu Li, the captain of the Ranger of the Ice Peak Fortress, known as the snow cheetah. ”

"It's an honor... My lord... Can remember my name. ”

"Why run away? You should know it's a capital offense. ”

Yuri, who looked extremely haggard, looked at the lord, and after a little bit of organization, he was about to lose his language skills because he was surprised, and said, "I know this is a capital offense, but I have to do it, I am here to report something to your lordship. ”

"I'm listening. The majestic lord looked at the ranger earnestly and said.

"Demons, demons, have taken control of the orcs outside the Great Wall of Ice, I have seen it with my own eyes. Yuri said with a panicked look on his face.

The lord didn't speak after gritting his teeth.

"It's true, my lord, I really saw it. Yuri repeated it again after seeing the still unmoved lord.

The lord still didn't speak, but raised the big sword in his hand: "Let's execute!"

"Wait, my lord!" said an old man with a white beard and a scholar's robe, holding a book.

"What's the matter? ”

"Lord Lord, as far as I know, Yuri is not a coward, let alone a person who is afraid of death, and he knows that it is a capital crime, but he still chooses to report this matter, should we find out before the trial,"

"The laws of Nightwatch have never been just for viewing, scholars. If you break the law, you will be punished accordingly, no one is exempt!"

The lord did not follow the advice of the scholar, but drew his great sword.

"Wait, Lord Ned, what if what he says is true!" shouted fifteen-year-old herald Leon as he walked up to the lord.

The majestic lord did not stop the execution, and after pushing away the child named Leon, he came to the guillotine.

"Lord, believe me, I'm not lying!"

"Any last words?"

"Tell my children that his father was not a coward, that he died honorably outside the walls of ice. ”

"Click~"

With the sound of bones breaking, Yuri's head rolled under the guillotine with a splash of blood.

After seeing it, the scholar couldn't bear to turn his head: "Lord Ned, I will relay his last words." ”

"Then it's hard work!"

The herald's boy led his horse to Lord Ned: "Does his head need to be passed on to the people?"

"Find a place to bury him with his body!"

"Lord Ned doesn't believe what he says?" Leon, the herald boy, asked Lord Ned again.

Lord Ned, who was on the horse, looked at the boy under the horse and said, "In the eyes of the madman, the whole world is crazy!"

"Did he lie?" the boy replied to his question, but he rode his horse.

Leon looked at Yuri, whose corpse was separated, and asked the people next to him, "He said he saw demons and orcs, so how did he escape?"

The boy's question silenced everyone, and then he looked at Yuri's head and said silently, "May the gods bless!"

The city of Ruhr, in the midst of all the glittering cities, also has a dirty and messy side. The Morta slum, the largest concentration of the poor in the Ruhr, a home for the old and sick, a paradise for thieves and hooligans.

There are old people who have lost their money, girls who have been bullied by hooligans, and little boys who have been beaten up, and the officials of Ruhr are unwilling to govern and control this filthy and chaotic place, after all, every city has such an unbearable scene, why should they bother to be thankless.

In the middle of one of these dirty alleys, Manhattan in old leather boots turned in.

In a dark, damp corner, a wooden shack that was almost open-air with a few rags on it, and the rain was dripping incessantly, and thieves like this did not want to visit: "Why did it take so long to come back?

"It's all done, everything is as grandpa expected, the two families have already begun to burn, and they haven't found out that I did it, and the stupid Colin shouldn't have figured out my purpose for approaching him until now. "Look, Grandpa, what I have brought you, roast chicken, made with Korda's turkey, and a whole bottle of brandy. These are the things you used to love. ”

After entering the small wooden shed, an old man who was about to die sat on a simple wheelchair, and if he looked thirty years younger, he would look exactly like Manhattan.

"Stupid! This money is not for such a squander. Looking at Manhattan holding the fragrant roast chicken in his hand, the old man scolded.

"Ahem, cough, cough~"

"Grandpa, you are angry, you haven't eaten properly for a long time. Manhattan gently patted the old man's back, gradually smoothing out the old man's violent cough.

"What about Lucius's restless child? he's the most likely to see you. The old man asked slowly after relieving himself.

Manhattan did not immediately reply to the man he called grandpa, but after putting down the roast chicken and brandy, he took out an object from his bosom, wrapped in a white cloth, and after opening it, Hao Ran was a goblet.

Manhattan poured a little wine, it was not very full, so he only laid a bottom, and then handed it to the old man: "No, that Lucius is very arrogant, not like Grandpa said." ”

The old man shook the wine glass in his hand slightly: "All of you underestimate him, he can get the position of Chancellor of the Exchequer from his father, it is certainly not as simple as it seems." ”

Manhattan rummaged through the cabin for a while, and found a neat plate and a pair of knives and forks, and he cut all the best thighs of turkey meat to the old man.

Manhattan, who placed the plate in front of the old man, asked, "How did Grandpa know that the Black Thieves were wanted and paid such a high price?"

The money for Manhattan's brandy and turkey was obtained from the Ruhr garrison through the news of the betrayal of Kane and others.

The old man did not immediately enjoy the turkey, but nodded his head with his other hand: "Use your brain, start with the task they took and think, this is why I let you approach him, otherwise where will your money come from?"
