Chapter 15: The Real Murderer

Not far from the outskirts of the village of Searle, in the same place where the previous night's party of 18 riders, headed by Manluohu Dahan, had appeared, and now another team of 10 riders had appeared, although this group was smaller than the previous one, but in contrast to the former, which gave a sense of gloom and disorganization, the latter gave a distinct sense of nobility and discipline

This team can be described as a small sparrow, but it is a team of ten people, including crossbowmen with strong crossbows, priests in clergy uniforms and holding holy books, defenders with huge tower shields on their backs, and light cavalry in light leather armor known for their speed...... And, of course, the knights in shining armor can find almost all the classes of a complete legion in this small team, except for siege weapons (what infantry, they are infantry after they get off their horses)

A light cavalryman walked at the front of the line with a battle flag symbolizing the identity of the team, and the emblem of the battle flag was a shield pattern, with a cross inside the shield, directly below the shield were two crossed knights with swords, and on either side of the shield were a pair of angelic wings - this was not an ordinary army, but a pair of angelic wings on either side of the shield - this was no ordinary army, but the direct army of the Pope: the Templar Order, and the main characters of the team were two men in paladin armor with red cloaks on their backs, one of whom carried a double-edged greatsword, and the other with two of his weapons hanging from his mount - The two men, the Longsword and the Mithril Alloy Shield, were the two paladins who had cast their expulsion spells during the Hansand Rebellion a few days ago to defeat the Angel summoned by King Valivi XI of Pole

Originally, in the knight's team, the position of the standard-bearer should have been in charge of the attendant who led the knight, but this time the situation was a bit special, and the two paladins needed to lead a capable team to carry out a mission, and according to the common law of the Holy Light Society, the knight's attendant could only ride a donkey, not a horse, and the speed of the donkey was far less fast than that of a horse, in order not to be slowed down and affect the completion of the task, neither knight led their respective attendants to set off, so a light cavalry temporarily acted as a standard-bearer

The small force came to a stop where the team had stopped the day before, and two knights turned over and dismounted, and they crouched down to study the horses' hoof footprints on the ground

Milorus, I dare to conclude that the jackals, Duke, they should have been here, and the paladin, who wielded a sword and a round shield, said to the companion who wielded a two-handed greatsword

Well, judging from these traces, it should be left last night, and now it should be enough to catch up, Milorus nodded, hurry up and solve this gang of thieves, we have other important things to do, William, I don't want to waste time here

Blood spilled out angrily, turned into a huge blood flower, and the lifeless body broke into two pieces, slowly fell to the ground, and the upper half of the body convulsed a few times in a pool of blood, and died

The bald man was dumbfounded, he couldn't imagine that a human could do such speed

Just now, when the thin man's long knife was about to cut at those innocent children, the head man saw a figure in the distance running towards this side like a thunderbolt, and immediately rushed to the front, and before the bald man could warn his companions, the thin man had been stopped by the waist and split into two pieces, and the long knife slipped from his hand and fell in front of the children

Death did not come as expected, and the four boys looked up at the present scene with great vigour, only to see a long white cloth fluttering in the wind in front of them, on which was an unknown plant pattern that the children had once seen

Uncle Knight, the four boys shouted out at the same time, and the feeling of escaping death was like a world away

Uncle is the one who gave the village to ...... A little girl's exclamation sounded

At this time, the man woke up from his shock, he saw this man like a god soldier from the sky, wearing a set of silver-white knight armor, holding a long sword still dripping with blood in his right hand, holding a little girl in a white dress in his left hand, when the white cloak behind the man was blown by the wind, the bald man saw a pattern of a lily - that is......

Are you bald men asking the royal knight John Duncan and Princess Sophia in a half-frightened voice?

The knight did not speak, but he replied with a sword-sharp look full of anger

The most unlikely person, the person who is most afraid of appearing, actually appeared in front of him, the bald man was shocked, this murderous man appeared for the first time in his life, and the fear rose from his heart, boss, help, he turned the horse's head and kicked the horse's belly violently, trying to escape from the vision of this terrible man as quickly as possible, he didn't think about resisting, but the corpse on the ground that was broken in two told him that the only result of the confrontation with the man

The knight gently lowered the little girl in his hand, threw the sword in his hand at the bald man's fading back, and not long ago a big man had died under the same attack, and of course a small man like the bald man would never have been spared, and the sword piercing from behind had a powerful impact that knocked him straight from his mount and flew forward

Mom and Dad saw that the two bad guys were dead, and regardless of the danger alarm, they rushed straight into the burning village without Cassius and Ray

Wait a minute...... The knight was unsure if there were any other robbers in the village, who tried to stop the two children, but as soon as he reached out, he felt a tightness in his chest and dizziness, preventing him from making any more movements

Mom, Dad, Sister, and another child, Joyka, also rushed in

At this time, in the opposite direction, not far from the village, a group of fierce men led their horses and waited anxiously there, they were the group of bearded men who had appeared on the outskirts of the village the night before, and his team was obviously missing two men and two horses

After such a long time, the seventh and eighth bastards have not returned, and the carp-bearded man said to the bearded man, could it be that they found the treasure in the village and swallowed it privately

Don't guess, let's wait a while, the bearded man waved his hand to stop the carp-bearded man from speaking, but he was already with a fierce look in his eyes at this time, humming, if it is really like what the second child said, you have swallowed the treasure privately, no matter where you hide in the mainland, I will not let you go, the bearded man thought viciously

At this moment, there was a soothing sound of horses' hooves

They're back

Let's go

They forget about jì time when enjoying which woman haha

Wow hoo to the next village

......

A group of people under the bearded man were shouting

However, as the horses approached, they quickly discovered the problem

It's the seventh horse, and it's back by itself, but why is there no one on it, and some people say yes, the seventh and the eighth are their people

The Boss asks you to come and see the carp-bearded man, who has roughly examined the horses and says that there are still blood stains on the horse's head...... The seventh and eighth are they not in an accident

The bearded man thought for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Go back and take a look."

Then a group of men got on their horses and galloped towards the burning village that they had ransacked hours earlier

Susan, why did you come back, Owen asked the little girl

We...... found the village on fire and rushed back for fear that something would happen, Susan looked at the half handkerchief on her wrist, she was embarrassed to say how she found out that the village was on fire, but she didn't expect something to happen......

Cassius and Ray did not find their parents who were alive, and when they came to the door, the small house was burning violently, and Joyka did not find his parents, but he found two of his four sisters outside the fire—they had been stripped naked and thrown on the side of the road, and the third sister of seventeen had been strangled to death with a rope with a thick strangulation mark on her neck, and the fourth sister of fifteen had her throat slit, and the poor maidens were dead

The paradise-like and tranquil village was burned to the ground, and the happy, optimistic relatives were separated by yin and yang, and four children who should have been carefree were lost in one night, and the three of them, Cascius, Ray, and Joyka, hugged each other with ashes on their faces and cried

Owen and Susan also shed tears at the same time

Why don't you go to your family and see that Owen didn't move his feet, Susan asked him

I had no family, and when I was four years old, my mother and father had already arrived in heaven, and Owen silently replied that he was not a family member, and Owen looked at the little bungalow where Uncle Merconay lived, and yesterday Owen hoped that Uncle Merconay would come back soon, but now he hoped that Uncle Merconay had not come back last night

silent

By the way, Susan, I just heard that villain call you what princess, are you really a princess?

Owen, can you forget about this, the scene in front of her and Owen's words reminded her of the pain of bereavement not long ago, and this seemingly squeamish young lady has also gone through vicissitudes

At this moment, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and sixteen men with all kinds of weapons rode back to this side, shouting: "Seventh, eighth, where are you?"

However, when they reached the entrance of the village, they understood what had happened, when they saw the body of a thin man cut in half, and the knight standing like a mountain

The bearded man who took the lead pointed to the body of the thin man on the ground and angrily shouted to the knight, "Did you do this?"

Instead of answering, the knight pointed to the burning village behind him and asked him the same question coldly: Is this what you did?

Yes, no one had ever dared to speak to him like this, and the bearded man was enraged, but at this moment, the wind blew, and when he lifted the white cloak behind the knight, he clearly saw the pattern on it, and then he saw the little girl standing beside the knight, the lily cloak, you are John Duncan and Princess Sophia, and the last words of the bearded man made the fifteen men behind him explode the nest

Dare to slaughter and plunder the people of my Poyler kingdom, prepare for your life, John Duncan let out an angry roar, and the bearded man, though outnumbered, was still intimidated by its momentum, and showed a horrified expression - the other party was a terrible royal knight

John took a few steps forward with his sword, but suddenly a stream of black blood spurted out of his mouth, and he stumbled, and then used his sword to support his body and prevent him from falling

The Bearded Man was a little bewildered by the sudden change in the scene, but then the carp-bearded man suddenly remembered something: I heard that John Duncan had been struck by a poison called 'Black Widow's Tears' in the Battle of Hansar City, and that there was no cure for the poison, and the poison deepened every time the poison was experienced, and the boss thought that the royal knight would not last long

Hearing the carp-bearded man turn his worries into joy, and then he pointed to John in a frenzy: "Brothers, this royal knight has been poisoned, and now he has no combat power, so everyone cut him down for me, and then took the princess back to receive the prize, and his men shouted and rushed up to surround John

Brute John cursed, and he raised his sword, using his powerful willpower to fight against the poison in his body, while concentrating on the enemies that surrounded him

The bearded man rushed directly to Susan, he had his own plans, even if the royal knight was seriously injured, but he never thought that his subordinates could kill John, as long as he trapped him temporarily, he would take the opportunity to capture the princess, even if all his subordinates were killed by the royal knight, it didn't matter, as long as he got the bonus, if he had money, he would recruit new subordinates, the bearded man reached out to catch Susan, at this time there was only a little country boy between him and Susan, and the big man didn't take this child in his eyes at all

Stand still, don't let you hurt her, and despite the fact that he couldn't resist the enemy, Owen still desperately opened his hands in front of Susan

Owen, you Susan, faced with this scene of a hero who was simply beyond her power to save the beauty, she suddenly had mixed feelings in her heart

Looking for death, at this time, someone dared to stop him, and the enraged bearded man picked up his saber at Owen's head, and was about to cut it down

Hateful John saw the danger in front of him, but he was being entangled by fifteen robbers, and he had no chance to come to his rescue

The image of the saber grew wider and wider in Owen's pupils, and his life was over.......
