"Captain Stowe, what are we going to do?"

The patrol member hurriedly asked his captain for instructions, and everything in front of him was beyond ordinary people's understanding.

In addition to the heavy cavalry of unknown origin, there were also the corpses of the city legions, and everyone also saw Captain Sodagu, who was famous for his bravery in the territory, at this time his armor was full of dents, his head was twisted back, his limbs were bent, and he was lying in obscurity in a pool of blood with stumps and broken arms, not to mention that the Earl's corpse, which had become a monster, violently impacted everyone's worldview.

At this time, Stowe did not immediately answer his men's questions, and although he was confused, he still thought rationally about the purpose of the invaders and the changes in the Earl.

'What are they... Person? A group of bandits? No way, they are so well equipped. An invader of Midland or Yoda? Or are you still the people of the Dharma King's Hall, crusading against monsters? When did the Count become a monster? Is it really what they say? ’

Stowe's musings were interrupted by a loud noise, and the streets began to appear in groups of male townspeople who were on the alert, and it was then that he realized that he had sounded the alarm with the priest before, and now the townspeople were coming out one after another.

Stowe looked at the heavy cavalry who were constantly lining up in the square and cleaning up the battlefield, and his heart flashed, "Are they ready to meet the defenders now?" Judging from the current situation, the defenders must be supporting this side. But...'

He stared at the heavy cavalry regiment and the three leaders who looked as usual, and couldn't help but think with a solemn face, 'They are not ordinary people! ’

On the square, Monte ignored the smell of fishy and loudly scolded the busy heavy cavalry, Song Jing quietly scanned the environment around the square, and Huang Shurong stayed silently with a bloody severed head in his hand.

At this time, Song Jing, who scanned the environment of the square and had a good idea of the peeping eyes around him, suddenly looked at the dark and uninhabited alley on the side, and two figures, one short and one tall, gradually appeared, and when the fire erected by the heavy cavalry, the pajamas, unbound Delicia and Alexander, appeared, except for the reincarnation and the now wide-eyed Delicia no one knew, they were still on the far north wall overlooking the awakened town a few seconds ago.

"That's...? Miss Delicia" Stowe's eyes widened as the people around her, recognizing the Earl's daughter, Delicia, after all, she had only been confined to her room by the Earl a year ago, and her appearance hadn't changed much at the age of 10.

Song Jing walked up to the young Dilicia, showed a gentle smile to her who was slightly panicked, bowed and stretched out her right hand to signal, and said softly, "Miss Dilicia, I frightened you, we didn't mean to hurt you." Can you come with me? To appease those who are frightened tonight. ”

"I don't know you, where's my dad?" Delicia lowered her head, not daring to look at the bloody scene in the square at all, staring at the ground tightly, but plucked up the courage to ask.

"Count?" Song Jing shook his head lightly, and said to Delicia, who looked up at him with tears in her eyes, "I can tell you where Lord Earl has gone, but ah, now you have to make a deal with me?" May I? ”

Half-loud, "Hmm~", Delicia nodded cautiously, but said timidly worriedly, "But... I don't understand anything."

"It's okay, just smile"

Song Jing smiled, took Delicia's little hand, and led her trembling past Monte, Huang Shurong and the huge monster corpses behind them, to the side of the heavy cavalry formation, close to a clean open space next to the center of the square, and said to the people hiding in the dark and peeping at them, "Kind people, I'm sorry for tonight's incident, in fact, we have no ill intentions. There may have been a lot of people who have only arrived now, but you should also notice this massive, ugly, disgusting corpse not far away."

Song Jing turned sideways to look at the count's transformed monster body, and then continued to look as usual, and raised his voice to the people around him who were faintly revealing their faces, "This is our goal, demon!" Think about whether your life in the past year has been very different from before. We already know that in the past year, the fallen heads in this square are not only infidels, but also innocents, framed people, and inspectors sent by the Royal Palace, and this is what the demon has done in this territory. We are here for the sole purpose of destroying the demon and his followers once and for all, and at the same time to bring innocence to those wronged souls and a good home to the good people. I'm deeply sorry for the inevitable battle that preceded it. ”

"Damn——! You guys... These... Vile... people, killed... You..., my... Di Li... West... Ya..."The Earl roared weakly, and only Huang Shurong, who was carrying the severed head, could vaguely hear his words.

Huang Shurong pasted a talisman on the top of his smooth head, and the cyan fluorescence continued to flow and seep into the skull, hanging the Earl's life, while avoiding Delicia's cautious gaze, the bloodshot pupils scanned the surroundings, the lips kept opening and closing, and the count's face full of malice was displayed in the peeping eyes around him.

"That's... Earl! Are you sure? ”

"Was it true before? The devil has replaced... Earl?! ”

The sound of discussion reached Stowe's ears, and he held the candle tightly in his left hand, stared straight at Song Jing and Delicia, and mustered up the courage to walk into the square from the street entrance on the side.

"Boss?" The men next to him looked at Stowe in disbelief, and did not move.

Stowe broke away from the team he led, dressed in the half-body armor of the patrol force, walked to the firelight of the square under the gaze of one after another, and said to Song Jing without being arrogant or humble, "This lord! Can you guarantee that what you say is true? ”

Song Jingleng paused, although he didn't expect that someone from the natives would come forward, but he still replied as a matter of course, "Of course this is true, with our strength, there is no reason to deceive everyone here." ”

He paused, looking up at the sky behind Stowe, who was in the direction of the town's church, "If you still don't believe me, then I promise the only true god in this world that the crusade against demons is our only goal here." ”

The lingering sorrow in Stowe's heart began to dissipate, after all, in this medieval world, the faith and power of the church were deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and few people would offend the majesty of God, he continued to ask, "Then I may ask your lordship, are you the inspectors sent by the Dharma King's Office?" ”

"I have nothing to say!" Song Jing said with a serious face, it seems that this confidential information cannot be told to others.

"En" Stowe nodded, now whether he is a patrol of the French King's Hall or not, the well-equipped and disciplined heavy cavalry regiment let him know that this is definitely not a rampant bandit regiment or a mercenary regiment, so even if it is an invader from another country, what does it have to do with him, after all, he is just an insignificant patrol leader.

"I will do my best to make senseless fights not happen again," Stowe said without hesitation, sighing in his heart that he hoped that what they said was true.

"Then please this brother, I don't want innocent people to sacrifice anymore" Song Jing was happy in his heart, and sincerely asked the person in front of him.

"I'll report to the defenders now, try to clear up the misunderstanding, please wait" Stowe looked at the sky in the distance to Song Jing's right, knowing that the reinforcements of the defenders were getting closer and closer, and hurriedly said, and then waved his hand to lead his men to the direction where the defenders came.

Song Jing watched Stowe lead his men to disappear into the distant streets, bowed slightly to the surrounding leaders, and then returned to the front of the heavy cavalry regiment that had been arranged in formation, at this time Huang Shurong had been teleported by Alexander with a severed head to the watchtower of the north city wall to avoid meeting with Delicia.

"Will this work?" Monte asked, unoptimistic about Stowe's actions.

"Surprise, don't get your hopes up" Song Jing didn't care about replying, "Just deploy it as planned"

"I had already brought in the infantry from the eastern wall before I came, and even if there was a battle in the city, it would be enough to deal with it," Alexander added.

"As I said, just let me stir up their formation later," Monte proposed, holding his great sword to the ground with his right hand, his expression undenied to the approaching army.

"No, too much bloodshed will hinder our plans for the future, and your injuries are not yet healed" Song Jing noticed the tear in Monte's chest combat suit.

Then he leaned over to look at the little girl who was holding his right hand, smiled at her and said, "Come, Delicia, you can go back to the castle in a minute."

"Where's my dad?" The little girl asked timidly, her eyes flashing with pity.

"Wait for Uncle to settle the troublesome things first, okay? Don't be afraid, uncle won't lie to you," Song Jing patiently explained.

"Do you really have to be so troublesome?" Monte said in the team channel, his eyes flashing, "Is it a little hypocritical?"

"No way, after all, I still have to have more time to stay in this world" Song Jing said calmly in the team channel while talking to Delicia, "Not everything can be solved by violence"

"Yes," Monte nodded, which was already known in reality.

He glanced at the twenty or so wounded of his own side lying in the open space at the edge of the square, and then shouted in front of the heavy cavalry regiment that was waiting for him, "Everyone prepare! The lost horses were equipped with spears and crossbows, the crossbowmen were on guard on the balconies of the houses on the south side, and the cavalry mounted their horses to cooperate with the ground troops to block the direction of the enemy's attack. ”

.....

"Kill... Finish... You guys... I... To convert... You guys... Eat... Peel alive... up"

"Dare to hurt... My Dili... Western Asia... Ahem... I'll let you die... No burial... Land! Weak but vicious words echoed in the brightly lit brick and stone room.

Huang Shurong sat on the wooden chair with his eyes closed and cultivated, the Han sword sheath was stretched across his legs, concentrating on recovering his state, deaf to the earl's curse, except for leaving a mental vigilance, trying his best to recover his mana and physical strength.

"Don't think... Kill me... That's it... Yes... Vengeance... Ahem... The four angels... Four... Hand of God... My lord... Will be for... My vengeance!! The Count shouted with all his might, his eyes wide and his mouth coughing up blood, as if he had no regard for his own depleted life force.

This excited gesture made Huang Shurong suddenly open his eyes, and the cold light came out like a sharp sword out of its sheath, which made the earl shocked.

Huang Shurong sat on the chair and said to the earl on the table with an unusually calm attitude, "Don't be afraid, you won't die so quickly, if they really care about you, then you should be able to see the scene of their revenge for you."

Hearing this, the earl's eyes widened, staring directly at Huang Shurong, as if he was shocked, he suddenly opened his mouth wide, laughed wildly, blood droplets froze, and said frantically:

"Hahahahaha, madman! Lunatic! It's all crazy! ”

......

In the square, Monte watched as the Earl's steward Dahl led Stowe and the guards to escort Delicia away, glanced at the residents hiding in the shadows around the square, and said in the team channel, "Looking at the way he spoke before, he should have thought of something."

"That's for sure, after all, in fact, we already control the town," Song Jing next to him replied as a matter of course in the team channel, thinking of Steward Dahl's low-key attitude when he talked to everyone just now.

"You go and arrange it, stabilize the discipline of our troops! After all, we're going to be here for a long time after that, and Huang Shurong and I will go..."

"Well," Monte agreed, and turned back to the heavy cavalry unit without changing his face, and shouted, "Soldiers, fix in place..."

For Samsara, the matter is almost over, but for Dahl, it is a night of distraction. After returning to the castle under martial law, he immediately sent her back to her room despite Miss Delicia's inquiries, instructed the maids to take care of her in peace, and then immediately put the remaining soldiers in the castle on guard, intensified patrols, stabilized the panicked atmosphere in the castle, and guarded against the infidels who were rumored tonight.

At dawn, Dahl led his tired body to the underground prison where the Count had been staying before, and a feeling of increasing irritability crept into his heart, the Count had been replaced by a monster?

If it weren't for so many witnesses, he really couldn't believe what he heard. But at the same time, recalling the bits and pieces of the past year, he also had an incredulous guess, or did the Count turn into a monster?!

Every time, when he thinks of this, his heart stings a little, it is a person who has looked at him since he was a child. The ambitious and resolute young knight of a long time ago, the middle-aged earl who conscientiously obeyed the orders of the Dharma King's Hall to crusade against the heretics and wanted to make the world a better place, maybe he had changed a long time ago, but he didn't want to think about it.

Dahl suddenly coughed, his old body bowed, and the guard next to him hurriedly stepped forward to ask, "Lord Butler, what's wrong?" Would you like to take a break first?"

Dahl tried his best to stabilize his exhaustion, pushed away the hand of the guard, and said calmly, "It's okay, it's just that I'm old, and the air here is a little dull, so let's move on."

After a while, Dahl and the others came to the door of the black prison that the Count had been informed of not long ago, and this time Dahl had not noticed the mottled blood on the door and the smell of blood that had been wafting from the crack in the door below.

"Open it!" Dahl commanded, a solemn feeling enveloping his body.

The two guards on Dahl's left and right heard that they stepped forward and pushed open the door, and the light of the fire entered the cell, which no one had entered except the earl.

The faint light of the fire shone through the doorway, illuminating part of the space ahead, and everything else was hidden in the shadows, but it was enough for Dahl and his party to know what this was like.

The scene of eighteen layers of hell, corpses strewn around, and a pair of dead eyes staring at the void in front of them.

"Vomit~" Seeing this, a guard on the right suddenly vomited with a spear, and the food mixed with gastric juice spurted out.

At the forefront, Dahl stared at the cruel scene in the black cell, but there was a sad look on his face, as if he was a few years older at that moment, and his back was even more bent.

"Let's go." Dahl turned around in grief and prepared to walk out, now was not the time to dwell on this, the heirs of this realm still needed to take care of themselves.

A snap of his fingers reached Dahl's ears.

Fierce flames suddenly appeared like a capricious storm on the sea, and then instantly raged the black prison, and the fiery serpent swept all the filth inside into the fire.

The heat continued to hit from within, but the flames did not harm the people near the door, and in this miraculous situation, Dahl breathed a sigh of relief, as if accepting the arrangement of fate, and said:

"You're here."

"Who?!" The guards seemed to have woken up from a dream, and pointed their guns at Song Jing and Huang Shurong who appeared behind them.

"Don't be rude!" Dahl scolded, raised his hand to stop the guards' movements, and stated to Song Jing, who had snapped his fingers, "I hope that Miss Delicia can grow up carefree in the future and inherit her title and property."

Song Jing didn't say anything, and looked at Dahl quietly without a cowardly look.

The guards nervously clenched their spears, constantly speculating about the intention of the two of them to attack, but Huang Shurong looked normal and did not pay attention to them.

Half-ringing, Song Jing sighed in his heart for Dahl's courage, nodded calmly on the outside, and said, "It should be righteous, but this territory..."

He paused, glancing at the four guards present, while Huang Shurong raised his right hand at the right time, brazenly preparing to draw the sword behind his back.

"Okay, my lord, we can go back to it and discuss" Dahl said quickly, although he didn't know how strong these two men were, but the mysterious flame just now let Dahl know that they were not measurable by ordinary people, so there was no need to let these guards suffer unwarranted disasters.

Song Jing nodded, asked with his right hand, and motioned for Dahl to go back and forth, and Huang Shurong also put down his hand and stood aside.

"En" Dahl nodded, and in the smaller and smaller flames behind him, he took the lead to leave the cell and walked out side by side with Song Jing and them.

The last guard closed the door of the cell, sealing the hot flames in it, and with the fainter and weaker flames, there would be nothing but charred embers, and it would be sealed for a long time, burying all the filth and the truth.
