The bright moonlight sprinkled on the endless snow, reflecting the misty silver light, and the little beasts lacking food in the nest quietly came out to feed, and the whole field was silent and deserted.

"Crunch squeak"

In the distance, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves trampling the snow, which frightened the little beasts out of their nests to flee in a panic, and disappeared in an instant.

A small mixed convoy of horses came rapidly from a distance, and heavy mist erupted from the mouths and noses of both the horses and the horses, and it was evident that the march was very hard.

Suddenly, a knight rushed towards the convoy from the opposite direction, apparently the scout in front of him had discovered something.

"Master, the road ahead is blocked, are we camping temporarily and waiting for dawn before leaving?"

Charles, who was sitting comfortably in the carriage with his eyes closed, frowned, and said to the people outside through the door: "Lund, we have prepared enough horses, that is, we want to get to Nancy City as soon as possible, and you will come to me if the road is blocked?

"Master, this road is blocked....... Something weird......."

Charles opened his eyes, pulled the car door and got out of the carriage, and said in a cold voice, "Take me to see!"

The personal knight Brut had already brought the big black horse Farman over, waited for his lord lord to get on the war horse, and squeezed Lund aside by the way.

Then came Byrne and Little Dewar, who rode over and squeezed Lund straight down the road.

Charles saw this, but he didn't say anything to stop it, a good leader will not let his subordinates huddle together, and moderate provocation and competition are the right way to rule.

If there are no contradictions or conflicts between them, then how can they need their own leaders to distinguish between right and wrong and maintain fairness? They can solve everything by themselves? Won't they become an ornament to be set aside?

The formation of the Lorraine Legion requires loyalty to its own backbone, and a few days ago, Charles received a carriage of spiritual power materials from Lycia, which contained nearly 100 main materials for awakening potions, and the expansion of Charles' long-planned strength was naturally implemented.

He first prepared twenty copies of the spiritual power induction potion of the warrior and hunter system, and allocated ten copies to the original family knights as a reward for forming ten field battalions, and also gave two copies to the county lord Fani, and the remaining few copies were naturally allocated to the "dog legs" who had been serving diligently by his side these days.

The personal knight Brut has already taken a share of the family knights, and Charles has chosen the grassroots boy Dewar, and Engelo has captured Lund Emile.

Dewar was originally Bourne's servant, but he followed Brut to learn culture and martial arts these days, and he seemed to have great potential.

In addition, the reason why Lund Emile was chosen is because this guy has the potential to be a dog's leg, and Charles also commented on him in public when he was in Bayonna: "You have the potential to become an extraordinary hunter", Charles said that he naturally can't talk and don't count.

It's just that Lund Emile, who is an Engelu, was too flattering to Charles at the beginning, which caused Bourne and others to be very dissatisfied, and beat him up collectively when he was in Bayona, and he is still very excluded after such a long time.

Exploring the way forward in the middle of the night, and being on guard duty in the wind and snow, are all this guy's work.

"A group of dog-legged civilians, the more you exclude me, the more the lord likes me!"

Lund Emile, who was almost squeezed into a ditch, jumped on his horse with a slight leap and chased after Charles and the others, judging by his agility, he should not have been stumbled at all.

Lund was the second son of a little baron Engru, and was far more familiar with the atmosphere of the nobility than Bourne and others.

.........

.........

Charles rode seven or eight miles to reach the point where Lund had called the blockage, and it was clear that Lund had done his duty as a scout. However, after arriving at the place, Charles also felt a little strange when he took a look.

A few large trees with a single person hugging each other simply cut off their branches, and they were scattered across the road, and the trails of dragging on the snow were obviously dragged over after the snow, that is, in the past few days.

In fact, these trees can't block this road, as long as a few horses and a dozen people, they can be dragged away by hanging ropes, and there is no effect of blocking the road.

Shire's Revenant Perception talent has been fully exploited, and there are no humanoids within a radius of miles, so it's not like a road rage is blocking the road.

Eventually, Charles set his sights on a wooden doji stuck in the middle of the road.

The Doji is tied with two wooden sticks crossed and looks very rudimentary, but it is deeply inserted into the ground, and the upper end of the Doji has two X-shaped notches.

Charles suddenly realized something, and looked back at the knights behind him, and saw that they all had solemn expressions on their faces.

"Looks like you all know what that means, right?"

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and in the end, Byrne, who was still loyal, spoke: "My lord, on the surface, this is a warning sign of the church, and the purpose is to prohibit people from entering the area ahead, because the front is ...... Can be dangerous. ”

"What danger?"

Byrne hesitated for a moment, and said cautiously: "There may be an evil event in the area ahead, or there may be hidden activities of the cultists on the night side, and the people of the church cannot solve it for the time being, so they have to block this area first to avoid other civilians from suffering." ”

"Evil incidents? To be clear, I haven't been exposed to those things in years. Charles had some guesses in his mind, but they weren't sure enough.

"My lord, the temptation of darkness is everywhere, and in many remote places in the countryside, monsters infected by darkness often appear, and occasionally there are cruel events such as evil Night Cultists bewitching fools and holding blood sacrifices. ”

Charles's face darkened, and he said coldly, "Now that the darkness has appeared, what are the servants of the light doing?, why don't the priests of the church drive away the darkness, but block the road and damage my reputation?"

Charles didn't bother to speak subtly, this is already the territory of Lorraine, and he has just taken office as the Marquis of Lorraine, and there are evil events involving darkness in the territory, whether it is true or false, wouldn't it give those people a handle to attack him.

Darkness will only infect those ungodly and impure believers of light, and your lords of the Marquis of Lorraine are disrespectful to the light, are you also tempted by darkness?

"Sir, the countryside is not a big city like Nasser, there may only be a small church within a few dozen miles, and the priests in it may not even be able to recite the light spell except for collecting taxes, where can they have the ability to drive away the darkness? And ......."

"And what? Isn't you a beater?" said Charles, waving his whip, and the void flicked, and a strong wind burst the snow beneath his feet into a ravine.

"And general evil does not appear in the daytime, and the church can keep these filthy things to scare those believers and take the opportunity to seek some benefits.......

Charles closed his eyes, his chest rose and fell violently a few times before he regained his composure, and by now, his mental adjustment ability was very strong.

"Is there someone else pretending to be a ghost to deal with me, the Marquis of Lorraine, who has just succeeded to the throne?"

This time, even Lund didn't dare to answer Charles, the majesty of the church is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people on the mainland, and Lund's words just now can already make him go to the inquisition, if he tells the truth, the possibility of going directly to the stake is not small.

"Clear the road, I want to see what evil and sneaky people dare to make trouble in my territory!"
