After a loud thunderous bang, the hustle and bustle of the people in the red-crowned woods of El Helino instantly fell silent, and only the war horses neighed.

After a few moments, the knights of the King's Army began to whisper in horror.

"Before he shoots the second time! All of them immediately dismount and hide! Criminals have at their disposal the powerful Sunset Island Hand Cannon! Ace Rogette, the chief knight of the Third Unit of the Knights of the King's Army, quickly flipped off his horse, leaning on the thick trunk of a red-crowned tree of El Helino, and with the sound of iron boots, the knights in his companion rolled off their horses one by one to find cover.

Occasionally, there was a horse or two in the woods outside the remote house, and there was a sudden silence after the muffled sound of the cannon fire.

"Listen to the guy in the broken house! You're surrounded! Unable to escape! You damn Linston criminals! I suggest you surrender quickly! The knight shouted at the command of the troop commander, and the shouting was full of aristocratic tones. Ace Rogette stealthily poked his head out from behind the thick trunk in an attempt to observe the situation in the remote house.

There was no one in the middle of nowhere, who paid attention to the boring shouting.

"We have surrounded your house, surrender quickly! Otherwise, you will be in good hands! "Behind the dismounted knights, the belated 'Karkande' infantry was approaching with 'high spirits'.

The chief knight, Ace Rogette, pretended to be surprised, and raised his hand to the knights who were traveling with him, "I don't know why the people of Karkhand like to use axes as weapons. Because of this particular fetish of theirs, we lost a knight brother. ”

"What a pity, Your Excellency, we are sorry that you have lost your brother." The Sharpling man disguised as a Kakander shrugged helplessly, "I think the heavy armor you are wearing may not be suitable for this arrest operation, and that criminal has a Sunset Island hand cannon." In the end, it was our infantry who had to do the most dangerous labor. ”

"Mahogany monsters, your axes don't seem to be much lighter than our armor. In the name of the commander of the troops, I order you to take down the criminals in the broken house. Note that this is not a request, but an opportunity for you to atone for your sins. Knight Chief Ace Rogette snorted, he already had a plan in his mind, "This is a good opportunity for you to help me in my investigation, if you honestly bring the criminal out of that house for me, your guilt of dereliction of duty will be settled." ”

"There's nothing more disgusting than Parmesan's orders." Sharp, disguised as a Kakhand, led the man to laugh, "Listen to the criminals in the broken house, your aunt in Parma asked us to invite you home to eat Kolo's date cakes." ”

"You redwood monsters are really good at making up kinship, oh, Kolo's date cake is the stuff made by your redwood monster daddy." Knight Chief Ace Rogette sneered at each other, his fists clenched tightly as if he wanted to swing at the rude Karkhand infantryman, who had already decided in his heart that it was an impolite verbal provocation.

"The fart is loud enough, guys outside the house. Let's wait for the hand cannons. Before the words could be uttered, there was a loud muffled sound, and a black projectile flew out of the flash of fire from the window, grazing Ace Rogette's helmet and taking away the entire helmet at the top of the helmet. Many horses were so frightened that they raised their front hooves and began to hoof down the knight's buttocks, and even then, everyone immediately fell to the ground as if they were scrambling to kowtow.

Disguised as the Kakhand's infantrymen, Sharp's men no longer made any word or eye contact with the proud knight chief, and under the cover of the Red Crown Wood of El Helinor, they carefully shuttled through it with their axes, and approached the dilapidated house hidden behind the Red Crown Wood with ease, as if they were approaching their own house, and in less than a few moments, the Kakand infantry crouched quietly by the wall. Suddenly, one of them, a Karkhand infantryman, flew to his feet, and kicked open the door of the broken house with a swift foot. The rest of the Karkhand infantry immediately got up and poured into the dilapidated house. King Segal II's wanted criminals were immediately arrested.

"The show seems to be over! My knights, brethren, mount! Keep the sword unsheathed. Ace Rogette climbed on horseback with all the knights of the King's Army, as if he had watched an interesting stage play, "Yo, it seems that it is easy to blow, is there only one person?" ”

"Your Excellency, you seem to be right. Look at! Beside him, in the dilapidated house, a group of Kakhand's infantry was rudely pushing and shoving the prisoners who were being captured, and inadvertently sending each other a handful of autumn waves.

The red-haired criminals were pushed out of the house by the Karkhand infantry, and they proudly raised their hands to beat the tomahawks in their hands, as if they had easily completed a home-cooked hunt, and were returning triumphantly with their prey. They then loaded the goods claimed by the king into the ox carts one by one, and gathered them in front of the knights led by Ace Rogette.

"Knights of the King's Army, the people and goods you want are here. You may go to Palma with goods and criminals to the king, and ah, his majesty has made a messenger. I suggest you don't have nothing to do with your weapons in front of our Muraid guards, it's an unfriendly gesture. "The men disguised as the Karkhand infantry issued an eviction order as if nothing had happened.

"We don't seem to be very shy about being friendly with you or anything. It seems to me that a red-haired fellow, unless he's a cave giant, can unload all of his cargo overnight. So, I conclude that you seem to be guilty of another crime - the crime of concealment. Ace Rogette didn't intend to leave just like that, he stretched out a finger and quickly counted the 'Karkande' infantry gathered in front of his horse, "Knights, tie me up all these flamboyant guys!" ”

"Don't move! If you move again, you will be able to taste the Kolo date cake made by your aunt. "The knights surrounded the Kakhand infantry led by Murred and the red-haired criminals in the center.

"What are you doing here? We are the military of Kakhand! Solid allies of your King's Army, don't let a joke spoil our friendly atmosphere. "The surrounded Kakhand infantry were a little panicked, and they looked at each other in horror.

"Why, do you have a knot in your head or a knot in your tongue. Lay down your arms and come with us! Go to the royal city of Parma and complain to General Tritsch! May you have this chance, Mahogany monsters of Karkhand! You owe me an explanation for my doubts. ”

At the gate of the Mulred Domain, the Commander of the Ranks, Theoannis, was already surrounded by the Cashcade infantry waiting for the Knights of the King's Army who were chasing the criminals until they appeared.

Everyone, including Theonis, was particularly surprised, as the brightly armored knights of the King's Army were not only escorting the King's lost goods, but also walking in front of the procession with their hands tied behind their backs and the Karkhand infantry. For a moment, almost all of the Karkhand's infantry couldn't help but clench their battle axes in their hands, staring nervously at the puppet commander Theoannis standing at the front of the line.

A cold sweat broke out on his back, and a fierce struggle began in his mind, and he looked at the knights of the Knights of the King's Army, his two lips open as if he wanted to speak.

"You look like you're the commander of this Sharphill and Murred. Why, are you like a groundhog also ready to be forcibly imprisoned by us like these lowly guys? Knight Chief Ace Rogette only glanced sideways, lazily playing with the sword in his hand, "We have the right to kill those who obstruct His Majesty's orders." Those who know each other will open the door for me. ”

"I" Theoannis's tongue was like a knot at this moment, and at the same time, he heard an uneasy sound behind his ears, and a cold chill that was cold in his back involuntarily invaded the back of his head.

The Karkhand infantry behind the Kakhand commander had begun to half-raise their tomahawks, thick with hostility, like rockets that could be released at any moment.

It was an invisible force that pushed Theoannis into an awkward position where she neither advanced nor retreated.

Theoannis came back to his senses as if he had woken up from a dream, and his intuition freed his tongue from the other half of his brain, and nervously spat out a complete sentence, revealing a rather reluctant smile, "I don't think I'll get in the way of Your Majesty's orders, but I've come here to see off the gentlemen out of courtesy." As for the Knight Chief's statement that those fools under me are traitors, then they are traitors. Oh, what a misfortune these little guys have. ”

"Your posture doesn't look like you're sending us off at all, but like you're trying to chop us to pieces with an axe to pieces of flesh bandits in the green forest. The mahogany monsters behind you are all about to raise their ridiculous axes. I don't remember you Kakhand mahogany monsters sending off your allies like this. It seems like I'm taking you a little too seriously, oh, I should call you vassals. Captain Ace Rogette pointed to the man in front of him, "Well, I don't really want to waste any time here. These soldiers of yours are already prisoners in my eyes. I suspect that there seems to be an unidentified force in your territory that is rebelling against His Majesty, otherwise these fellows would not have insulted the king's knights with their mouths full of dung. Even if they weren't what I thought, they were suspected of malfeasance and disloyalty. The few of the Kalkandians I have captured must obediently follow me back to the royal city of Parma to be investigated by General Trits. If you don't want to be piggybacked by me, the only thing I ask of you is to open the door for us. ”

"General Trich" Theoannis's lips were pale, and he could only feel that his body seemed to be slowly softening, he knew very well what kind of brutal fellow Triitch Hawking, the military governor of King Segal II, was, and his cruelty was equal to his appetite, he had long heard of Triitch's harassment of the people of Kakhand, and had seen with his own eyes the cruel punishment that Trich Hawking inflicted on those who were disloyal, as long as it fell into his hands, there was no way to survive unless he was sitting on a mountain of gold and silver. The words of the overly proud knight of the King's army in front of him had cornered him, and he had given him the only choice - to die immediately or slowly.

Obviously, Theoannis chose the latter without hesitation, and even an inexplicable anger suddenly stirred up in his heart by this arrogant words.

But this anger was easily suppressed by invisible cowardice, and he sat in the mud beside the red dirt road with his legs trembling, gasping for breath and calling out to the 'Karkand' infantry behind him in an almost pleading tone, waving his hand weakly from time to time, staring blankly at the locked collar door, and then carefully popping out of his mouth with an intermittent order, "You guys—yet, don't hurry up yet!" Open the collar door for the Captain. ”

"Your Excellency, you mentally retarded monster of Kakhand." Knight Chief Ace Rogette pouted his beard and glared at Dioannis maliciously.
