Chapter 370: The Twin Saints
The chief knight put his arm around the weeping Mrs. Smith and comforted her, "Honor to my lord, Mrs. Smith, please don't be sad, Al may have stayed at a friend's house and forgot to tell you." β
"No, it won't... No," said Mrs. Smith, wiping her tears with her handkerchief, "Al is a good boy and won't spend the night out silent, something must have happened to her." β
As soon as Mrs. Smith saw Luo Wei coming, she immediately walked up anxiously, grabbed Luo Wei's sleeve and asked, "Distant guest, may I ask if Al was with you last night?" β
Luo Wei shook his head and said, "No." β
"It can't be! This city is so small, where else can she go without you? Mrs. Smith was also anxious, and immediately pointed the finger at Luo Wei.
Soon, Luo Wei became the focus of the people around him.
As we all know, small towns tend to be closed and have a low population movement, so the neighbors are very familiar with each other, and outsiders can notice it at a glance.
Now that someone has suddenly disappeared, the first suspect will definitely not be someone who lives in the city all year round, on the contrary, Luo Wei is the most suspicious of a distant visitor! Not to mention that this young man is wrapped in a bandage and a cloak, and he looks like he is afraid that others will see his face, he must be a wanted criminal who escaped here!
The chief knight walked up with a calm face, and the nearby knights quietly stirred up their horses, and circled around Luo Wei, while signaling the onlookers to retreat.
After a while, Luo Wei was surrounded by patrolling knights, and the knights were bold and bold, walked up to Luo Wu, and asked in a low voice: "Rong Gui to my lord, this guest, we need your cooperation in the investigation." β
Luo Wei doesn't do bad things, and he is not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, but he doesn't like to be led by the nose, so he replied calmly: "What if I say no?" β
This sentence made the atmosphere around him tense, and the knights on horseback quietly put their right hands on the grip of their swords, and the knight chief silently pulled down the full-coverage helmet used for battle, and said in a deep voice: "That may hurt you a little, my friend." β
Just as the atmosphere became more and more stiff, and the sound of the long sword slowly unsheathed, the sound of galloping horses' hooves sounded in the distance.
The sound of horses' hooves approached, and with the neighing of the horses, a scout of the patrol cavalry dismounted from his horse, and anxiously walked up to the chief knight, saying, "Lord, I have seen the ranks of the 'Oathbreakers' in the mountains outside the city, and Miss El seems to have been caught by them!" β
Because he was in a hurry, the scout's words didn't hold back his voice, so that everyone around him could hear it.
At this moment, there were bursts of exclamations around her, and Mrs. Smith was stunned for a moment, then burst into tears, almost fainting: "No! Why the Oathbreakers... Al... My El... Poor child..."
"What?" The chief knight took off his helmet and said with a grim face, "Oathbreaker? Damn it... This group of bastards actually started specifically in Double Holy Week! β
The scout continued, "It's a sizable team, numbering about a hundred, and I can see their banner, it should be Blackbeard Richard. β
When the chief knight heard the name, he was shocked, glanced at the restless crowd, and said solemnly: "We only have more than twenty patrol knights and more than thirty infantry, and we can't deal with this oath abandoner, so we need to ask for support." β
"I'm afraid I don't have timeβ" The scout took out a crossbow arrow with a letter strapped to it, and handed it to the chief knight.
As soon as the chief knight opened the letter, a handful of white-gold hair cut from Eyre's head fell out of it, and the content of the letter was very simple, that is, he asked the patrol knights in the city to go, otherwise a small part of Al would be taken from Al every hour, this time it was hair, and the next time it would be uncertain.
The knight's face was pale, facing Mrs. Smith who was almost crying and fainting and many nuns who looked flustered, as a knight, he really couldn't say a word, but if he went rashly, not to mention whether he would be ambushed, even if it was a dignified duel, the patrol force in this city had no hope of winning.
Nearby, more and more people learned the news, even Britney came, as soon as she heard that Al was kidnapped by the Oathbreaker, she was stunned like a zombie, and then saw a handful of white blonde hair falling out of the envelope, and her emotions exploded directly.
Britney slammed her head on Luo Wei's soft underbelly, grabbed him by the collar and slapped him in the face, shouting heartbreakingly, "You brute! Bastard! You can't even protect a girl, what's the use of you! What's the use of you?! β
Britney's slap hadn't been withdrawn, and she was directly punched by Luo Wei in the face, Luo Wu's hand was only heavy and heavier, not lighter, this punch directly beat her to the ground, and she fell to the ground and struggled.
Before the scout could react, Luo Wei had already come to his side, his red eyes shining faintly fierce like a beast, and he said in a low voice, "Take me over." β
Seeing that the scout was stunned and did not react, Luo Wei directly lifted him up with one hand and threw him on the horse.
The knight chief was a little shocked, first, he was shocked by Luo Wei's strong arm strength, although this scout did not wear heavy armor for charging, but the total weight was also about 200 catties, and he was actually thrown on the horse's back with one hand, and second, he was shocked that this young man was even more anxious than them, and it seemed that he attached great importance to this matter, or to El.
The chief knight hesitated for a moment, and finally chose the latter between safety and honor, and said to one of his men: "I heard that yesterday on Christmas Eve, a knight of the round table was celebrating the festival in Venice and went to ask him for help!" Everyone, come with me with weapons! β
The more than fifty soldiers of the patrol unit set out quickly, and because of the presence of infantry, the knights on horseback could not disconnect from the large force, so they did not move quickly.
In the direction detected by the scouts, the troops crossed a mountainous area and came to a vast plain.
This small city is remote and has a relatively weak garrison, and it is usually attacked by thieves, but this is the first time it has been attacked by oathbreakers of this scale, let alone during Double Holy Week.
Luo Wei followed the large army on foot at this time, looked sideways at the chief knight, and asked, "What is the oathbreaker?" β
"Lord above, this name makes me sick to my stomach." The chief knight lifted the charge mask on his face, revealing a serious face, and said gloomily, "As the name suggests, an oath aformer is someone who has broken their oath and renounced their faith at the same time. β
"They were once knights in the service of the Lord, and because of some temptation they threw themselves into the arms of darkness and became enemies of the church." The chief knight seemed to remember something heavy, and the words that followed were almost gritted his teeth, "These people are keen to hunt and kill the people of the church, without any principles, killing the elderly, killing children, killing women, and the sin is extremely serious!" β
"If I have the opportunity, I am willing to use my life and sword to eradicate them and protect the people behind them from invading!"
