The sky was clear and clear at the time of the attack, and the chaotic procession was passing through a narrow stone bridge over a river.

As a result, before they could fully pass through, a row of small black dots suddenly appeared on the hazy horizon of the distant mountains, obviously a group of cavalry.

They didn't know whether they were friends or foes, but the old knight who led the team did not hesitate at all, and directly ordered the members of the assembly to set up a match, and he shouted loudly to the team that had crossed the river unhurriedly to speed up.

In fact, it didn't take him much to order, and the people who sensed the danger had already unconsciously made a commotion, and many farmers and civilians who had joined in on the road panicked and began to push and shove in order to cross the river as quickly as possible.

At the bridge, after estimating the speed of the cavalry and the speed of the people behind him crossing the river, the bearded man, one of the leaders of the rally, breathed a sigh of relief, and then clenched a long axe in his hand.

"I didn't expect to get rid of these people."

As he spoke, he looked sideways at the old knight who had dismounted beside him, and the other man replied with a wry smile: "The traces of our journey are too obvious. ”

After catching the two shepherds that day, they knew that someone was going to do bad to them, so they directly changed the route they were expected to take. At the same time, it seems that he is rushing to the road every day, but he is actually very vigilant about the surrounding situation.

It's hard to say who the enemy is, but I think it's the nearby lords who are loyal to the king, otherwise there is no reason to attack them.

But the old knight wasn't too worried about it.

Although the knights looked menacing, they could not stand the geographical advantage of the stone bridge behind them, and in this case, he expected that as long as his side held the bridge, the enemy would not be able to help them.

Unfortunately, this idea changed completely.

The small black dots visible to the naked eye gradually increased, but before they could reach them, there was a sudden commotion among the crowd that had already crossed the bridge behind them, and there were even sounds of women screaming in panic.

The old knight hurriedly turned his head to look, and the situation in his eyes made his heart sink.

In a forest on the other side of the bridge, a group of masked riders in leather armor also rushed out, and now they were only a few hundred meters away from those who crossed the bridge!

"Don't panic, retreat to the bridge!"

Seeing that someone was screaming and fleeing away from the main army, the old knight hurriedly yelled, but it turned out to be useless.

Some of the ordinary people had scattered undisciplinedly, and more were following his orders, but it was hardly a good thing, because the panicked onslaught of them made it impossible for the members of the assembly to take defensive positions.

There were panicked sounds around him, and the sound of horses' hooves gradually became clear.

There were a lot of enemies, and they were still flanked back and forth, and the old knight's heart had sunk to the bottom, and then for some reason, he suddenly thought of the big young man with golden hair, so he looked around, but just happened to see the back of the other party jumping on the bridge deck into the raging river and escaping.

He smiled angrily at this look, but he didn't have time to pay attention to the coward who was still unsure whether it was his own blood.

In a panic, the members of the assembly at the end of the stone bridge struggled to the front, each clenching their weapons and facing the approaching enemy in front of them.

The situation was very chaotic at this time, and a dozen abandoned sheep bleated across the stone bridge, some of them rushed away in the face of the onslaught of cavalry, and some remained in place in a daze, and then they were trampled to death, or they used as meat stumbling blocks, tripping two or three unlucky riders to the ground.

However, all this did not hinder the cavalry from charging the main body, nor did it make the members of the assembly relax in the slightest.

Behind them were the churchgoers and civilian travelers they had sworn to protect, and in front of them were a fierce and fierce enemy, the wielding mace and spear that made a brown-haired young man with a clenched axe tremble, but several of his companions beside him let out a roar of rage.

Under the roar of the collision, the scene was quite tragic as soon as it unfolded.

……

The situation over there is precarious, but here in the upper reaches of the Blackwater River, there is a group of four horsemen walking leisurely on the edge of the riverbank.

"The king did not order us to suppress the church, and I don't think this action is appropriate." One of the blonde knights, who had taken off his helmet and tucked it in his armpit, said to his brown-haired companion beside him.

The brown-haired companion smiled at this, and the glazed green armor he wore reflected the shiny shine in the morning light.

"Don't forget Hearts Heron and Najanos Arryn. How far do you think this will go when our good king gives the order? ”

The other party did not answer, so the brown-haired knight sneered.

"King Inis is weak and incompetent, and those of us who are subjects naturally need to be tough, otherwise this kingdom will not last long."

"But it's likely to anger the church, who were inher—"

"They are already against the royal family, and you are still afraid of anger?" The brown-haired knight interrupted his companion with a sneer.

"And if we do it cleanly, who knows all this."

As he spoke, the brown-haired knight looked at the stone bridge in the distance that was slowly shrinking the battle line, and a hint of strange color flashed in his eyes.

His purpose was to let the church know about it, how could it be clean......

It's just that it's impossible to talk about it with your companions.

Thinking about the possible chaos in the future kingdom, he silently looked forward to it, but suddenly felt something out of the corner of his eye, and looked sideways to find that it was a school of trout swimming in the Blackwater River.

"How can there be a school of fish here?"

He muttered strangely, glaring at his companion, who was also surprised by this.

It's actually normal to have a school of fish in the river, but it's not normal to have a school of fish that stay in the middle of the river and refuse to go down the waves.

After a few careful glances, they could not see anything unusual except for the fish, and even the aquatic plants at the bottom of the river were dimly visible......

The brown-haired knight then turned and ordered the two attendants who followed him to go into the water to investigate the situation.

The attendants had no objection to this, so they turned and dismounted, stripped off their heavy clothes, and ran into the river.

However, they seemed to be frightened, and after they scurried into the river, the fish that had not moved much before suddenly sprang away and dodged in the other direction of the river.

Seeing this, the two attendants hurriedly chased forward, but the fish fled elsewhere, and after three or two times, one of the attendants was shaken and even slipped and fell into the river, and it took a lot of rescue to avoid the fate of being panicked and drowned.

However, he couldn't get into the water again.

The clumsy situation of the attendants saw that the two knights were already impatient, and the embarrassed appearance of one of them after pouring a stomach full of river water made them make up their minds, so after glancing at each other, they decided to go down in person.

The members of the poor people's assembly on the stone bridge were nothing more than a group of peasant armies, and it was impossible for them to have any accidents in the face of the elite troops, and at this moment, such a strange phenomenon was born in the river, maybe it was because of some special treasure, of course they had to find out.
