I now want only a loaf of bread, even the black bread of the lowest poor, mixed with countless sawdust and wheat bran......

- Kane Hugh Lancelot

The howling cold wind in the north cut through every inch of Kane's skin like a knife, and the war horse that accompanied him all the way could no longer hold on and fell into the jungle a few days ago......

For three days, Kane had to trek on his feet through the dense jungle, where squirrels stored nuts for the winter and grass roots dug up from the ground as the only source of food

A burning hunger pang came from his stomach, making Kane regret that he hadn't cut a few pieces of meat from the fallen war horse because of ridiculous respect, knight's honor? The virtues of a monk? People who have not experienced hunger will not understand the feeling of despair......

Wrapped in a thin blanket and covered with any cloth he could find, Kane even had no clothes for his northern collar, his eyebrows and other exposed places were covered with white frost, and he hugged his shoulders and trembled with a shallow foot, and struggled towards the edge of the forest that was visible to the naked eye

The empty stomach made Kane's spirit a little trance, there was not enough energy supply, the body seemed to be unable to bring any heat, even the blood seemed to have coagulated and stopped flowing, and now Kane almost lost his life, and the breath of imminent death became thicker

Facing the wind and snow, staggering and finally walking out of the forest, Kane, who insisted on his will, could no longer resist the boundless sleepiness, and slowly fell to the ground, and in the image reflected by his pupils before he fell unconscious, a tall city was so magnificent and magnificent......

*******************

"Whew~" Rod took off his thick leather gloves, quickly untied the dispensed liquor from his waist, opened the stopper and poured it hard, and hung up the wine bag and put on the gloves at the same speed, only then did he jump on the spot a few times, feeling some warmth in his frozen body

Squatted down and dug up a handful of snow from the ground, gritted his teeth and rubbed it on his face a few times, some sleepy spirits instantly sobered up a lot, his nose that was red from the cold twitched a few times, and it was easy to hold back his sneezing, and he subconsciously glanced at the edge of the forest, and suddenly exclaimed

"Oh my God, what's that? I seem to see somewhere somebody falls, my lord? As he spoke, Rod trotted forward a few steps in the snow that was more than ankle deep and rushed in front of the several punishment knights who led the team

The lead knight, who was riding on the unicorn and was talking to his companions, looked at Rod with some dissatisfaction

"Damn, Rod this is the third time you've found out today, let me think, this time it's a frozen boar or a rabbit? Or is it an elk? We're already past the time to return, and if you're wrong this time, you'll explain it to Anthony yourself......"

Remembering that Master Anthony had always been unsmiling, Rod couldn't help but swallow and spat at the mouth, but still insisted

"Lord Marcus, please believe me, there will be no mistake this time, you must know that before joining the army, my companions and I also walked through a lot of forests, this is definitely not the corpse of a beast"

"Okay......"

Looking at the direction of Rod's finger, Marcus gently knocked his heel on the horse's stomach, and the unicorn raised his long legs and ran forward easily, and after a few seconds, Rod and the others, who were worried in their hearts, heard Marcus shouting loudly

"Come over a few people, damn it, this time Rod is right, there is indeed a person here, and there is still some heat on his body!"

**********************

"Hmm~" The liquid that slowly flowed into the stomach pouch in his mouth made Kane feel again, and as his body gradually gained temperature, there were bursts of unbearable itching all over his body, slowly opening his eyes, and the fine Xiaoice scum frozen on his eyelashes made it take him a while to see the crowd around him

More than a dozen people who looked like soldiers were gathered around, several of them shielded themselves from the wind and snow as if they were trying to light a bonfire, and the soldier who was holding him was carefully retracting the wine bag from the corner of his mouth, and it seemed that the warmth just now was due to the spirits

Kane was not sure because these soldiers-like people had much better armor than the most elite Imperial Capital City Defenses he had ever come into contact with, and due to the cold weather, each of them was covered with thick cotton robes and cloaks to protect them from the wind and snow

Struggling to open his stiff, bruised lips, Kane said

Kai...... Kane, huh~huh... Thank you...... Whew...... Church knights... Knights...... Leave me alone! Run...... Run! ”

Not wanting these good people to be implicated by himself, Kane's first reaction after waking up was to let these soldiers leave, no one knew better than him that the Church was directly under the Templar Order, and those people were completely crazy people who had been completely brainwashed by religion, just like he had before......

“？” Rhodes, who was helping Kane move his arms in the same way that Itsev had taught him, did not hear the slurred words clearly

After a few hours of delay, if it wasn't for the accidental rescue of this person, according to the time, their patrol team composed of 5 punishment knights and twelve champion swordsmen should have returned to Stormwind City a long time ago, or Lord Marcus was afraid that Kane would not be able to hold on to the city, so he simply rescued here

Unfortunately, Kane's prompt was still a little late, and with the sound of heavy horses' hooves, the surprised eyes of Rhodes and the alertness of the Punishment Knights led by Marcus, more than a dozen Templars from the forest, who were also a little weak and emaciated, turned out one by one

Maybe it was a habit on weekdays, or maybe it was the patience and physical strength of these knights who chased all the way, and the knight who led the team didn't even look at the others, his red gaze directly locked on Kane in Rod's arms, paused a little, and said in a hoarse voice with endless resentment

"Kane Hugh Lancelot, death penalty!!"

As soon as the brief words fell, before everyone was still surprised, the leader of the Templars had already galloped towards Kane...... and Rhodes, who hugged Kane......

Xue Liang's long sword drew a wonderful arc in mid-air, and with all his strength, he slashed down with the resentment of chasing along the way......

In the desperate absence of time to rescue his comrades, the conditioned reflex after a long training session saved the lives of Rod and Kane

"Bell!!"

Rod picked up the shield beside him in an urgent moment, and subconsciously blocked the sudden attack, but no matter how tired the knight was, he was far better than Rhodes now, and with the impact of the horse, this heavy cut still knocked him out with a shield

Rod who flew out upside down spurted out a mouthful of blood in mid-air and passed out, at this time his companions had already reacted, and they drew their weapons to firmly protect Rhodes after they landed, facing more than ten knights, there was no fear in their eyes, and all they showed was boundless anger and murderous aura

Seeing this, the Templar captain who was riding his horse back to prepare for a second assault was obviously a little surprised, but then he smiled fiercely again, and when he saw the other Templars who followed behind him and silently discharged the charging formation, he raised his long sword and shouted

"In the name of the Most High God, the Knights Templar are ordered to kill Kane the Apostate, and anyone who deliberately obstructs him, regardless of his origin, is guilty of the same crime!"

After saying that, he was surprised not to see it on the faces of the soldiers opposite, the frightened and flattering faces of the Church Knights after hearing the name of the Church Order, shaking his head, he was too impatient to talk nonsense, the cold weather in the northern territory and the thousands of kilometers of pursuit made the Templars feel extremely tired

In his opinion, a dozen ordinary soldiers were just a matter that could be solved with a single impact, and the long sword in his hand was just about to fall, but the five strange knights who were just in the distance had already arrived and stopped before them

Marcus was also full of anger at the moment, in the vicinity of Stormwind City, because of his own negligence, a soldier was injured and fainted, which was simply an unforgivable insult, and he reacted and quickly stopped the other four punishment knights in the path of the other party's impact

His expression was as gloomy as ice, and there was no trace of warmth in his tone as he stared at the other party's Marcus

"Marcus von DeWittelsbach, captain of the Knights of Punishment under the command of Grand Duke Leo, I don't care what church you are or other forces, here are two choices for you......"

Speaking of this, Marcus's voice increased in vain, and he roared, "No one can insult Stormwind and leave safely, surrender or die, tell me your answer!" ”

With his roar, the four Punishment Knights behind him drew their weapons in unison and pulled down their visors, for them who were only loyal to Leo, the Church? What's that......
