Chapter 17: The Night Attack on the Monastery

The Imperial army won a victory during the day, and the Imperial soldiers celebrated with drinks at night, but the camp was attacked by the enemy that night.

That night was full of fire and fighting, and when Gravel saw his chance, he escaped with a few slaves

Several of them ran away desperately, and finally ran into a forest. Gravel instinctively looked behind him, only to see a group of pursuers rushing over. Gravel told the others to find a place to hide first, and he lay alone on the forest path.

The group of pursuers consisted of about a dozen men, led by a man on a horse. The man on horseback saw Gravel lying on the ground and ran first, and he dismounted to see if Gravel was still alive.

Gravel grabbed him with agility and stuck the dagger hidden behind him into his heart, and then Gravel rode onto the man's horse.

The pursuers from behind rushed over at this time, trying to surround Gravel.

Gravel clamped his horse's belly with his legs, and the horse immediately ran forward, knocking one of his pursuers to the ground.

The pursuers did not carry bows and arrows, and could only chase Gravel from behind. Gravel, on horseback, rode around the group of pursuers in circles, draining their physical strength.

Later, when the pursuers got tired of running, they lined up and waited for Gravel to rush over. Gravel desperately turned his horse's head to get around behind his pursuers. One charged, the pursuers could not dodge and were hacked to death by Gravel with a knife.

The rest of the pursuers slashed at Gravel with their swords, but Gravel was able to dodge it with great horsemanship. The pursuers sulked and picked up stones and threw them at Gravel, and the two sides were at a stalemate.

The hidden slaves found some sticks out of nowhere and fought the pursuers, and Gravel saw the opportunity to slash and kill several of them.

In this way, the pursuers fled when they saw that the situation was not right, and several slaves died on Gravel's side.

That night, Gravel and the others camped by a small stream. They ate the freshly caught roast pheasant, talking and laughing. But Gravel has his heart, the same Delena who has given everything for him.

As soon as the morning dawned, Gravel and the others set out, and their goal was Haiyabao.

After a few days of travel, Gravel and the others returned to Haiyabao.

Gravel asked John to disguise himself and go into the city to find out the news, and John found a place to sit down in the tavern.

He had heard that a nun would be offered to the gods and would be burned alive in two days later in a monastery near Haiyabao. And John also heard that the nun had been a woman that the Count of Sedak had liked.

John told Gravel the news, and Gravel sent another man to the convent to find out if the nun's name was Delena.

Eventually, Gravel determined that the nun was Delina.

When it got dark that night, Gravel quietly infiltrated the monastery with a few rescued slaves, and there were no soldiers in the monastery, only a few monks.

Avoiding several monks, Gravel eventually found Delena in a locked room. I saw that Dalena's hands and feet were bound with ropes, and Gravel cut the ropes.

When Dalena saw Gravel, her face was full of surprise, and tears flowed uncontrollably.

Gravel also understood that during these months, Delena had suffered too much.

He hurriedly untied Delena and prepared to take her out of here.

Suddenly, many fires burst out of the darkness.

It turned out that the group of monks had already discovered Gravel, and the monks told the news to the guards of Haiyabao.

Fortunately, there were not many people in this group of guards, only about a dozen people, but they were very well equipped. Gravel told John and the others to escape with Delena from the pre-planned path, while he stayed behind to deal with the guards.

Gravel drew the guards to his side so that the others could quickly evacuate.

Gravel cleverly disguised himself in the darkness of the night, and finally escaped from under the noses of the guards. Unfortunately, an unwitting monk accidentally discovered him, and Gravel had to knock him unconscious.

Gravel quickly ran to the place where John had agreed to meet them. When Gravel saw Dalina, the two had a thousand words to say, but a simple hug replaced all words, and both of them had tears in their eyes.

"We're never apart again. ”

"Yes"

Delena had never felt as happy as she had ever felt at this moment, as if the previous nightmare had finally ended.

After Gravel's trouble, the whole Haiya Fort spread. At the same time, the monastery also sent additional troops to investigate the matter, and Baron Sedak was responsible for the incident.

When he heard the name Gravel again, Sedak was so angry that his beard stood on end, and he ordered the matter to be investigated strictly.

Gravel quietly returned to the rebel camp with a few men. When I revisit the old place, I can't help but feel a lot of emotion in my heart. After all, this experience of being captured made Gravel a little disappointed in Marshal Morin.

The rebel guards guarding the gate of the camp danced happily at the sight of Gravel, who had followed Grawell before and admired him from the bottom of his heart.

News of Gravel's return spread throughout the Wilson rebel camp, and people came out to greet him.

Most of these people were early followers of Gravell, such as Tony, Anna, Hyperbour, and Bevman.

Even Maureen came out to greet Gravel in person, only Gravel caught a subtlety in Maureen's face.

That evening, a big party was held in the Wilson Resistance camp. People sang and danced, talked and laughed.

Since that confrontation with Steve, the rebels have become famous, and many people who want to rebel against the nobles have joined the rebels, which has greatly increased the strength of the rebels, so Steve and they no longer dare to act rashly, and the kingdom's war in the north has left them no time to take care of the power in this mountain.

Gravel again became the general of the Resistance, and he would go on to lead the cavalry.

A few days later, Gravel proposed to Delena in public. At first, Delena was a little overwhelmed by surprise, but she agreed.

Gravel held a grand wedding ceremony for her, and with everyone's blessing, Gravel and Dalena came together.

Because he knows how much Delena has given him, he must be responsible for Delena.

In the blink of an eye, winter is coming. The winter was exceptionally cold, the peasants were hungry and cold, but they had to pay high taxes for the nobles, and many died in the winter.

In order to deepen their rule over the poor, the nobles issued decrees. That is, the nobility had the right to enjoy the first night of any newlywed wife in his domain. The purpose of this was to make the Norslands less and less bloodline, and to deepen the Empire's rule in the Norslands. This made the poor people hate it to the core, and a wave of resentment slowly accumulated until the day it broke out......
