Chapter 350: Ransom

"Oh my God!"

Seeing that the long sword in her son's hand was taken out of her hand, and it actually rebounded crookedly and stabbed back, the countess was distraught, let out a scream, her legs weakened, and the person knelt down. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Be careful!"

The Earl and the Lady of Lorraine spoke at the same time, a reminder and a scream, but their son Clooney was completely unresponsive, not that he himself was unaware of the danger above his head, but that he found that he seemed to be bound by something invisible, and could not move at all, so he could only watch as the sword returned the same way and fell towards the top of his head.

"Ahh

At the last moment, Clooney let out a scream and closed his eyes in despair to die. But after waiting for a while, he didn't feel any pain, the long sword didn't hit him, and there was no sound of the long sword hitting the ground in his ears.

What's going on?

Clooney tilted his head and opened his eyes tremblingly, but he was immediately frightened and quickly closed them. The moment he opened his eyes, he saw that his long sword was hovering above his head, and the tip of the sword was estimated to be only three inches away from the top of his head, and if he descended a little further, it would immediately pierce his head.

The Count of Lorraine was also frightened by the scene in front of him and broke out in a cold sweat, and Madame Lorraine knelt on the ground, almost fainting. But at the last moment, the great sword, which was almost about to pierce his son's head, suddenly stopped falling.

"Master Kante, if there is anything, let's discuss, please don't hurt my son. ”

Although the Earl of Lorraine didn't know how the thrilling scene just now appeared, he knew that it must be Allen, a magician, who was behind the scenes, and now the life and death of his son were in the hands of Allen, as long as Allen wanted it, Clooney would die almost immediately, and he still killed himself by mistake, so he had to open his mouth and take the initiative to relent.

"Madam, what the hell is the matter with you saying that they lied to me?"

Alan ignored Earl Lorraine's plea, but looked at the middle-aged woman who broke in and asked.

"El is not in the vineyard at all, he was kidnapped by horse bandits two weeks ago, and his whereabouts are now unknown. Mr. Kanter, El often mentions you in front of me, saying that you are his best friend, so I beg you, you must save Eyre, if you refuse to help, El will die. ”

The middle-aged woman ran in front of Eren in a few steps, trying to kneel down for Alan, but was held back by Eren first.

"Ma'am, who are you from El?"

Alan asked, looking at the middle-aged woman's pale face.

"I am his mother, Winnie Vera. ”

In fact, from the fact that the middle-aged woman called Elvis El, Alan had already guessed that she was Elvis's mother, because the name El was originally given for him by his mother, and only people close to Elvis could call him that, and if others used this name, it would only anger him.

"Ma'am, please get up quickly. El is my best friend, what the hell is going on, you tell me, I'm going to find a way to get El out. ”

Alan comforted Winnie Vera as she lifted her up. He never expected that he had not yet started to deal with the horse bandits on this trip south, but the horse bandits had already made the first move and captured his brother.

"Here's the thing..."

Winnie Vera was overjoyed to see that Alan had agreed to help, and her knees were swollen and her forehead was about to rot for the sake of her son, and she had not even received a word of promise, and now she finally saw hope. So when he heard that Alan wanted to know what happened, he immediately told him how Elvis was captured by the horse bandits.

Since the spring of this year, the Bolsma bandits, who had been close to extinction, have suddenly become active again, initially mainly in the eastern part of Higg, although the Holy See does not want the Poelsma bandits to perish, but it will not allow them to kill people and set fire under their noses, which is not conducive to the Holy See to strengthen its prestige in the eastern part of Hig. As a result, the Knights Templar's Wings of War, stationed east of Higg, separated a portion of their light cavalry and expelled the Bols bandits.

The Bols Horse Bandits, of course, were no match for the Knights Templar, so they soon had their operations limited to the east of Higg and had to turn the direction of harassment to the north.

It was against this backdrop that two weeks earlier, a group of horse bandits, evading the patrols of the border guards of Yus, had infiltrated the territory of Yus, raided the vineyard wineries not far from the border, and encountered the resistance of the family's private soldiers led by Elvis, and a skirmish broke out between the two sides.

Under the leadership of Elvis, although the morale of the family's private soldiers has improved, their combat effectiveness is still far less than that of the horse bandits who have been tested on the battlefield for a long time, and after a short stalemate in the battle, the private soldiers are quickly defeated.

At the end of the battle, in order to cover his mother's retreat, Elvis personally commanded several of his own soldiers to resist bravely, killing and wounding many horse bandits, but in the end, because of the huge difference in strength between the enemy and us, the private soldiers died and fled, and Elvis himself failed to break through and was captured alive by the horse bandits.

The horse bandits originally wanted to kill Elvis to avenge the death of their companions under Elvis's magic, but Elvis, who was in a hurry, suggested that the horse bandits were more valuable than the dead themselves, and that they were the descendants of the Lorraine family, and the horse bandits could use themselves to blackmail the famous grain producers of the Yous Empire, so that the Lorraine family could exchange food for themselves, although Elvis himself had little confidence in this suggestion, but it made the little leader of the horse bandits moved, they were now in urgent need of food, and even the purpose of this raid on the vineyard was also for food, but they only robbed a bunch of muller。 Mueller is certainly a good thing, but it is far less practical for them than food. Therefore, the small leader of the horse bandits finally decided to take Elvis's suggestion and leave his life for the time being, and Elvis escaped because of this.

The bandits freed several captured servants of the Lorraine family, then quickly retreated with Elvis and the loot they had gathered, and soon disappeared into the forests on the border between the two countries.

The servant, who had been released, fled back to the Lorraine estate to report the matter to the Earl of Lorraine, and handed a letter from the Horse Bandits to the Count of Lorraine, in which the Horse Bandit told the Count to send 200,000 pounds of grain to their designated place in two months, otherwise his son Elvis would be torn up.

The earl who received the news calmed down after the initial shock and panic, although Elvis is only his illegitimate son, and it is difficult to say that he has any love for Elvis's mother, but Elvis has his blood flowing in his body after all, and Elvis was arrested for the family's business, whether it is public or private, he can't see death without help.
