017. Unexpected joy?
Under the dark blue night, in the empty and cold wilderness, a group of dozens of people were galloping quickly on horseback.
At the head is a tall and handsome young knight, and if Luo Yu is there, he will recognize this as his cheap big brother Roger.
And Layton, who taught him swordsmanship, followed Roger closely.
"Ten minutes to go before you can feel the manor of the Dakanlin family..."
Layton said in a low voice, "Recently, there have been cases of civilians being killed by roaming thieves in the territory, and it seems that this is the group. ”
Roger frowned slightly, and said categorically: "Sax's dog legs dare to pretend to be thieves to break into our territory and kill wantonly, this time we must let them have no return." ”
Layton nodded, reminding, "Be careful. ”
Roger stretched out his hand and pulled out the long sword at his waist, smiled and said casually, "Uncle Layton, you may not know that I just reached the strength standard of an eighth-level knight a week ago. ”
A hint of surprise flashed in Layton's eyes, and he immediately said with relief: "Well done Roger, you remind me of your father's youth. Sooner or later, this territory will be yours. ”
Roger turned his head to look into the distance, his eyes shining with a powerful glint of confidence, "Don't worry, Uncle Layton, I won't disappoint you and my father." ”
This was the first time Roger had accepted such an important task from his father.
In the past, his father would only let him do some trivial tasks such as collecting rent, and deal with those dirty and ignorant peasants.
Roger has been waiting for this opportunity to show his talents in front of his father, and if he can complete this rescue of the Dau Canlin family beautifully, I believe that his father will definitely deliver more and more important affairs to him in the future.
Roger subconsciously gripped the hilt of his sword, he couldn't wait to drink the blood of those damn bastards.
Soon, the manor of the Daukan Lin family was in sight.
A raging fire lit up the night sky, and the entire estate was engulfed in flames.
Roger's eyes tightened, and he drew his long sword and shouted, "Prepare for battle!" ”
Behind him, there was the sound of a long sword unsheathed, and a great sense of accomplishment arose from Roger's heart.
Roger saw several dark shadows hovering outside the manor from a distance, and he struck the back of his horse twice with the spine of his sword, and the whole person jumped out quickly, taking the lead.
Those dark shadows obviously also noticed the appearance of Roger and the others, and wanted to escape.
But Roger, who was riding on horseback, was much faster than them, and easily caught up, and then used his speed advantage to cut down two of the seventh-level knights to the ground.
After killing the third man, Roger looked back and found that his men, who had not followed, had split into several waves to hunt down the remaining thieves.
"These cowardly rats..."
Roger sat on horseback and laughed.
Seeing Layton coming towards him, he poked his sword in the head of an enemy and held it high, ready to show Layton his remarkable results.
But at this moment, Leiton, who had a helpless and relieved expression, suddenly changed his face drastically, and shouted at Roger: "Watch your back!" ”
Roger was startled, turned his head sharply, and a black shadow rushed towards him.
In the light, Roger saw a terrifying face, scarlet and tyrannical eyes, and pounced on him like a beast.
Roger was startled and wanted to dodge, but thought that Layton was right behind him.
"You can't let Leyton look flat, just block it, and it will take a while!"
Roger changed his attention in an instant, then gritted his teeth and raised his sword to slash at the terrible monster...
Layton watched as Roger, who was not far away, was pulled off his horse by a dark shadow and torn roughly, and the other party moved like a beast.
The screams rang out a few times before disappearing.
By the time Layton reached Roger's side, there were only a few broken corpses left on the ground, and the shadow had already run away into the darkness.
"Damn! Bastard! ...”
Layton was shocked and angry, cursing and roaring in his mouth.
At this time, two more figures ran out of the burning manor, and Layton subconsciously grabbed the sword, but when he looked closely, he was familiar with the figure.
"Agareth?!"
Layton shouted.
The panicked young man, with a frightened face on his face, immediately showed a surprised expression when he saw Layton, and then ran over quickly.
"Uncle Layton!"
The boy ran to Layton's side and let out a long sigh of relief, with a scared expression on his face.
"Uncle Layton, you're finally here, and what about your father, didn't he come with you? ...”
The young man asked a lot of questions in one breath, and suddenly noticed the corpse under his feet, and was startled at first, and only when he saw the appearance of the corpse clearly, did he exclaim "ah".
"Big Brother ..."
The boy seemed to be stunned all of a sudden, staring at the corpse at his feet and not speaking.
Layton was bitter and didn't know what to say.
The purpose of his visit this time was to save the baron's youngest son, but he didn't expect the youngest son to be rescued, but the baron's favorite eldest son died unexpectedly at the hands of the enemy.
If the youngest son in front of him died, it would be nothing, anyway, the baron has a lot of children, and the baron is in the prime of life, and he can still have another life.
But there are many children, and there are only one or two of them, and now that the most outstanding eldest son has died, how should he explain to the baron when he goes back.
Layton's mind was in a state of confusion, and it was only then that he noticed the man who had walked out with Agares.
She is a very beautiful aristocratic girl, Leiden recognizes her, she is the daughter of the Daukan Lin family, and has always been the object of admiration and pursuit of the young people in the territory.
The little girl also seemed to be frightened, and the blow was too great, and the whole person was depressed.
Layton shook his head, not paying attention, and glanced up in the direction of the manor.
At this time, the entire manor had been burned to the ground, and it was almost impossible for anyone to survive it.
Thinking of this, Leiden whispered to the young man beside him: "Agares, you immediately take the girl of the Daokanlin family back, your father is worried about you. ”
With that, Layton mounted his horse and quickly chased in the direction where the thief who had just killed Roger had disappeared.
Roger is dead, he is derelict in his duty, and he must take the murderer's head back to the baron.
When Leiton's figure also completely disappeared into the night, Luo Yu, who was still standing beside the corpse in a daze, instantly returned to normal.
"My poor big brother, you're too unlucky..."
Luo Yu sighed softly and said helplessly.
He just let the bronze corpse rush out of the manor disguised as an escaped thief to attract the attention of Leiden and the others, who would have thought that his cheap big brother Roger would happen to be in the way of the bronze corpse.
And Roger didn't do enough to try to stop the bronze corpse.
The bronze corpse that had just experienced a killing feast and drank human blood was ferocious, and now even Luo Yu faintly couldn't suppress the other party's feeling, let alone Roger, who didn't even have the strength of a great knight.
It can only be said that it is looking for death.
"As soon as Roger died, he seemed to be the most promising of his siblings to inherit the title..."
Luo Yu's expression was a little strange.
What is this? Unexpected surprises?
He didn't think much of it, and turned his head to wave behind him, "Bellive, it's time for us to go." ”
Bellive, who was still depressed and like a walking corpse, heard Luo Yu's call, and the whole person immediately shuddered violently.
She came back to her senses and looked at Luo Yu with a wince, her expression was as if she had seen some terrible monster, and her eyes were full of fear.
But in the end, she obediently walked up, walked to Luo Yu's side, and even replied in a low voice.
"Okay.... Master. ”
Luo Yu showed a satisfied smile on his face, nodded slightly, and then said lightly in a gentle but cold tone: "I hope you didn't lie to me, otherwise you will definitely regret not dying today." ”
Bellive's whole body trembled violently uncontrollably.
