Chapter 15: The Unexpected
Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Three thousand, three thousand, even after hours of fierce fighting, but still strong and incomparable, adding countless evil spirits to the knights, in the face of the huddled into a ball, lost their weapons and armor, lost their morale, and after surrendering, they lost the last trace of physical exhaustion, under such a prerequisite, can there be an accident in killing?
With Leo's acquiescence, in addition to the Knights of Punishment who disdain it, even the Knights of the Dawn, the Knights of Dawn and the Griffin Knights have joined them, the Noldor Elves led by Aldaryan don't think there is anything wrong with slaughtering other races at all, Kane is brainwashing the knights with holy light with the help of punishment heresy, as for Mirgan? The vengeful Griffon Knights didn't treat these degenerates as human beings
Nearly three thousand knights, led by their respective commanders, retreated under the somewhat astonished gaze of the captives, and quickly formed a slightly rough shock array outside of Rich, and as the battle was over, the weapons that had been put away were also unsheathed, splashed with the dried and blackened blood stains on the armor, making them look like evil spirits from hell rather than knights of justice
The same tired war horse, driven by its master, began to trot and accelerate again, and as the speed became faster and faster, looking at the knights who rushed straight towards him, one of the captives finally seemed to understand something, and hundreds of people stood up desperately and roared frantically
"Run, run, humans are trying to slaughter us......"
It's a pity that the relaxation after the tension has drained the last bit of strength and courage, except for these hundreds of extremely brave people, most of the enemies heard the roar and saw the knights rushing in front of them with countless smoke and dust, and they actually subconsciously fell backwards and sat down, as if they could not do anything but pray and muttered in fear, perhaps...... And a hint of remorse? Remorse for past sins?
The earth, under the frantic trampling of tens of thousands of horses' hooves, emitted an overwhelmed scream, the soft soil was opened in large swaths, and the scattered weapons and armor and even human organs were beating rhythmically and rhythmically
Hahn, who was lying in the pile of corpses not far away and was lucky not to be found, resisted the boundless fear and the urge to get up and run away, grabbed the slippery soil soaked in blood under him with both hands, and gritted his teeth with his eyes closed to endure the torture, he understood that if he wanted to live, he could only think of himself as a dead man, even if he was trampled by a war horse, he couldn't move!
The sound of metal slicing into flesh and bones was like a signal, and the ensuing screams and curses resounded through the heavens and the earth again, Leo led the Knights of Punishment, quietly watching the slaughter in front of him not far away, he even forced himself to keep his eyes open, meticulous and never dodged, perhaps as an outsider, he knew better than anyone else that there was still a lot to learn if he wanted to survive in this cruel world......
********************
In the imperial capital, when Carlos went to the House of Nobles to find the theory of the group of nobles, not long after, his two cronies who took off their conspicuous armor and changed into a sackcloth burqa, lowered their heads and hid their faces under their hoods, and quietly walked near the city gate when people were not paying attention
After whispering a few words to the soldiers guarding the city gate, and vaguely showing a certain coat of arms and other tokens, the city gate, which was heavily pulled to death by the noose, was slowly released a little gap, without any hesitation, the two disguised cronies quickly led the horses and squeezed out, ignoring the city gate that quickly closed again behind them, turned over and rode towards the reverse horse that made a fighting sound without hesitation......
The makeshift camp was surrounded by a simple row of crooked, freshly cut tree trunks with wet cuts, and a bonfire around it drove away the cold and darkness of the early evening
In the midst of the cheerful noise, the knights boasted of their victories to each other, talked about a noble lady or a married lady, and from time to time burst into laughter full of different meanings, and the refreshing aroma of ale, rich mead mixed with the smell of barbecue meat spices, whetted the appetite
The rest after the battle, Leo did not hesitate to provide a large amount of supplies, the victors deserved to be praised, and the best way to make people forget the cruelty of the battle, the negative feelings brought about by the slaughter, was a grand bonfire dinner, and it was clear that the atmosphere was much better under the influence of alcohol and barbecue than the dull atmosphere a few hours ago......
Let the Knights of the Dawn who don't like this noisy environment spread out to be on guard, the Nolddo's innate sense of danger makes Leo feel at ease, and several captains sit around the largest bonfire in the center, Leo holds a thick piece of roast meat in both hands and tears and gnaws without grace, and the beef sprinkled with spices and roasted by Finn on the outside can arouse people's boundless appetite just by looking at it, not to mention that there is a large bowl of lamb soup with oil and chives floating at everyone's feet
After chewing vigorously for a long time, Leo swallowed the crispy bones in his mouth with great difficulty, put down the barbecue and wiped his greasy hands, remembering that after clearing the siege through this battle, he couldn't help but be a little irritated when he would face the problem of the imperial capital, and slowly took a sip of the soup, and was about to re-mention this matter with Saru and Aeoris, but from the darkness in the distance came a noise and fighting in a low voice......
Some of them stood up with a few other people, and soon, a few people slowly came from the darkness, four Knights of the Dawn who were in charge of guarding, and two of them walked into the firelight with a stranger whose face could not be seen clearly
"My lord, these two people sneakily snooped around and were taken down by us, and it's ridiculous that they even thought that the darkness could hide their clumsy performance!"
One of the Dawning Knights briefly reported to Leo with some nonchalant, as if catching the two was something to brag about, and after saying that, he turned and nodded to his companion who controlled the two
"Lift their hoods and let the adults decide what to do with these two rats!"
Carlos's two cronies were also unlucky, when they arrived near the battlefield, it was already dark, and they could not distinguish the situation at all, so they could only wander around, and finally the fire in the camp attracted their attention
The hood was lifted, and it took a few seconds for the two of them to get used to the sudden light, and after a quick look, the human face and some familiar armor shapes made them secretly breathe, and one of them even struggled to shout to Saru
"Saru, Lord Saru, I have had the privilege of seeing your face from afar at a ceremony, my companion and I are from the Earl of Middleton's family, Lord Carlos is our master, please be sure to convince all the adults around you that we are not spies or anything, we have brought some news about the imperial capital to Your Majesty and you......"
……
"What, that guy Carlos concluded that the nobles of the Emperor had bad intentions, is this his personal inference or the meaning of the Middleton family?"
Saru stood up abruptly after hearing a few simple words, his face clouded by the dancing flames
"Can't see Your Majesty? …… What do you say? You say that Your Majesty has left this world due to illness? When did it happen, and why didn't a trace of news reach the imperial capital??? ”
In contrast to the surprise of the Saruai Oris, the two henchmen sent by Carlos were even more frightened, and in a panic they even knocked over a piece of beef smoked on the bonfire, scattered sparks, subconscious curses, and the smell of burnt meat wafting far away in the quiet night......
Leo, who was sitting there for the time being, had his head very low, hidden from the light so that no one could see his expression at the moment, on the other hand, the countess Trinas, who had just walked to the crowd in a clean new dress accompanied by Paul, was stunned and then ecstatic after hearing the news!
