Chapter 0063: Shadows
【Taiganda Lord Arnold】
[Attitude: Scrutiny]
[Specialty: Domination, Planning]
[Monologue: You're more interesting than I thought.] 】
Arnold's beard was regular, the trim had been removed, and his pitch-black knob gauntlet rested on his steel sword.
His eyes were shrewd, and the shouts and debris next to him could not change his expression in the slightest.
In the middle, there were layers of surrounding, countless bows and arrows, and then ten mercenaries with uneasy faces and looked around.
Eventually, he made eye contact with Adam.
The spear broke through the wind, and the recoil caused the ballista to lift the turf.
The fork-tailed dragon roared and fell with hatred, setting off countless debris and fierce winds.
The two men narrowed their eyes and didn't even glance at them.
"She won't die, of course, your pursuit is too deadly, then I deeply regret it in advance."
Adam said.
Arnold pondered for a moment and laughed softly, the other party had understood the actual situation, and this code word was both a survival and a warning.
The lord waved his arms and whispered for a moment next to the lieutenant.
The cavalry brought Anton Weisen's war horses over, and counting the military commander, it happened to be eleven.
Adam was surrounded by a natural movement that put Cathy in front of the saddle, and tightened the rope like an Orion hanging an elk, and tied it up completely.
Her heart was filled with a desire to survive.
But the damned dignity could not struggle and pray, and his mouth was stuffed with strips of cloth, and his heart was full of despair.
Adam didn't mind at all, and even regarded the black oppressive army around him as nothing.
He knew that Arnold could not respond to Cathy's hints, and that the other party gave these good horses to him, just to show his attitude, and his guess was right.
Anyway, in the end, it will be returned to Anton Weisen, so it is better to let it go like this, and it is also a change of direction for hush money.
Adam sat straddling the saddle, the lights around him shattered, and a few flashes of fire lit up in the dark crowd.
The rebels were pressed to the edge of the cliff, their faces were desolate, and they gave up resistance.
He looked closely, and saw that the Wandering Bird was standing on the outermost part, with the expensive coat still hanging from her arm, holding a candle, and faintly praying for herself.
"Goodbye, Tatsuda Taiganda!"
Adam raised the whip of the military commander and waved in response.
The grass slowly raised its head in the bloody air, and was pressed down by the horse's hooves, and the team rumbled.
Galloping away, down the slope of the highlands, flying over the guardrail of the plank road, and moving down quickly.
Taverns, floor tiles, arched bridges, murmuring wells, long and narrow crossroads......
The team plunged into the city in the night.
The gates were still flickering with fires, and they turned around the two street corners, speeding around the low bungalows.
Somewhere low, the slope had been built with planks, the reins were tightened, and the obstacle was climbed over the low wall, and landed on the high mat there.
"Hmm."
This kind of leap is obviously extremely uncomfortable for Cathy.
Just as several ladies are kicking their lower abdomen with their heels, nausea and diaphragm should go on and on with muscle wear.
Wow, smack.
There was a tearing pain behind him, tears came out of his eyes, the sense of grievance exploded, and the sobbing turned into a whine.
"Eighteen."
The man seemed to be counting down, but she couldn't care about anything anymore.
The horses galloped again, and the grass and clods of earth came into view, and then the vapor filled the air......
The team drifted away from the gap and met Sean at the edge of the wooded area, where he took advantage of the night to pick up the lord.
Before the little man could speak, he saw what Adam seemed to be waving, and a whimper sounded, and the white package shook faintly, as if to relieve the pain.
"What, what is this?"
Sean was puzzled, obviously a living person, when did the lord be so cruel and unkind?
The white shadow seemed to hear his own voice, and even the small movements forcibly endured, and the night was quiet and silent, and he did not make a sound.
"We, burned a lot of corpses."
Lukka gave a vague answer and kept silent.
Adam's face was frighteningly low, and he counted the personnel with his eyes, and led the team away again.
Sean seemed to hear a certain number, and watched the mercenaries pass by one by one, and the strong men were also red-eyed, and made an awkward and simple prayer - to pay tribute to the dead.
Cathy couldn't remember the night, and the snorting and pain took turns fighting for her consciousness.
The blur of time, the unknown and fear of being controlled by fate, left a shadow in her heart, no matter what, waiting for the moment of freedom - she wanted to die.
The morning light turned gray in the eyes, and life had no color and hope...... Sorrowful.
Swish.
"Hmm."
She gritted her teeth, new tears overflowing again, and her eyes were warm.
But she didn't say anything this time, maybe it was gradually numb, maybe the abuser was faintly holding his hand.
It doesn't matter, she wants to commit suicide, and she has no reason to live.
But the horse stopped, and the abuser muttered.
"One."
Adam cut the rope and lifted her from the horse, placing her in the shade by the tree.
Cathy's brows furrowed slightly, her body felt pain clearly, but there were very few moving parts, and it took a lot of effort to turn her side and hug her whole person.
Turn the last grievance into tears.
She seemed to hear the other party go away, and the mood at that moment can be described as complicated.
Thankfully, Nightmare is gone, and he is still alive.
Desolate and humiliated, she wanted to commit suicide.
Hopeless, weak, alone in the wilderness.
……
The sound of horses' hooves rumbled, and the whole world faded away.
Good night, she thought.
Sand, sand, sand.
Cathy's heart twitched, the footsteps approached, and she wanted to crawl away, but she didn't have the strength.
She could easily imagine how ugly she was now, for she had seen many beggars and survivors struggling like this.
"Don't move, you're dying."
Adam threw the whip aside.
That hideous appearance used to symbolize majesty and honor, but at this moment, it looks like a poisonous snake.
Cathy subconsciously stayed away, sleepiness welling up, and her eyelids were about to close.
"Die, let me die, I will curse you to hell, the eldest daughter of Langar was beaten to death by you......"
"Heh, you're so stupid."
Adam straightened the other and tilted his delicate face, revealing the scar on the other's neck.
The dagger threat actually left a sense of proportion, but unfortunately the horse was jolting and struggling, and it seemed to be a little pulled, and excessive blood loss was the cause of weakness.
"Awake?"
Cathy didn't answer, but closed her eyes.
Adam took the gauze and potion in his hand and carefully treated the wound, leaving a white scarf.
"If you don't answer, I'll help you get rid of the other wound."
Cathy's "corpse" moved, as if she wanted to take the dagger from her waist and kill herself.
"I, I'm going to kill you, no, I'm going to die too, drink."
[Attitude: Nervous breakdown]
Adam quietly watched the other party fall into an emotional dead end, and lit the calming herbs prepared in advance, shaking them gently like folding fans.
After a long time, the girl turned from screaming to sobbing.
"Listen, I'll just tell you a few things."
The devil was talking, but he was sleepy and tired.
Cathy's vision began to blur, as if something was covering her, and her body temperature gradually recovered.
Fragments of words ringing in my ears:
"Nagia Fry, she was plotted, if you have a conscience, it is best to find a way to take her out of Taeganda.
Traces of bloodline can appear, either early death or sterilization, and she may have put maternal love on you.
Also, I was thoroughly used by Arnold.
He expanded his army to recruit warlords, and let the ambitious guys grow his power and train his army.
Then use you as bait, gather them, and arrange to clean them up.
Arnold deliberately arranged for the prisoners to fight with the nobles, intensifying the conflict, if I don't kidnap you by the public, you will still be dealt with and arranged, and then you will also become a corpse.
The reason is that the prisoners vent their anger and wait for an opportunity to slaughter the powerful.
Tsk, your so-called pride in the kingdom has not been taken into account by the other party, whether Anton Weisen is accumulating thick or returning to the light, you think clearly.
Oh, by the way, you were beaten because of eighteen human lives, and in order to please you, died.
If you want to kill me, come.
If you are angry with other people, or you are stupid and unrestrained......
You'll see me again. ”
Cathy woke up from her bunk and cradled onto the futon in a panic.
A massive tingling pain caused her to collapse on her back, and she shrank back.
"No, don't see, don't."
She muttered to herself, tears welling up in her eyes.
Peeking out of the crack, I realized that this was a room in Tatsuta Taigangda's courtyard.
The windows are wide open, the sun is shining, the canopy of trees dominates the view, and birds chirp to each other.
Tears rolled down, and she knew that this nightmare would be with her for a long time.
