Chapter 1034: Slaughtering Town
"That's Guna, our town's doctor. Young and beautiful, the boys in the town are all attracted to her, but it's a pity that Guna didn't take a fancy to anyone. The old mayor sighed, "It's not easy to talk about this child, she moved to our town with her father a month ago. Within a week, his father was killed by a wolf while hunting in the mountains, leaving Guna alone. Fortunately, this kid is quite pharmacological. Every day, I go up to the mountains to collect medicine, and the big guys in the town are sick or injured while hunting, and there is no need to go to other towns to ask for a doctor. β
Alan nodded, his mother, Lannie, was also a doctor in the Gobi town. He knew very well how much a doctor weighed for a small town that was inaccessible to travel. In the evening, the mayor set up a few tables of dinner in the open space in front of his house, and invited a few people from the town to have dinner with him. The young doctor, Gunna, also took a seat, but she didn't toast Alan like everyone else, and just ate her own dinner quietly the whole time.
By the next day, the caravan had left the town of Squirrel after replenishing the necessary supplies. On the way, Alan drove the carriage, and Rick and Faress rode near him. Along the way, I heard Rick constantly instigating Farres and others to come back from the northern capital, and then pass through the gray squirrel town to simply chase the beautiful female doctor Guna into his hands. Fares, who is still a bachelor, has an embarrassed expression, but looking at him like that, it should be interesting to Guna.
After leaving the town for a few kilometers, Alan suddenly heard an exclamation from behind, and then someone shouted, "Look, is that on fire?" Alan leaned out and looked at the back of the group, and sure enough, a puff of gray smoke rose from the horizon in the distance. The direction of the gray squirrel town was even more flickering, and Allen's heart sank. He jumped out of the carriage and beckoned for a war horse, and Alan turned over on his horse. Then the window of the carriage opened, and Lucy poked her head out of it and asked, "What's the matter?" β
"Something may have happened to Squirrel Town, and yesterday I asked the mayor for dinner. Now that something is wrong in the town, I have to go back and see. Eren went up to Regis and Nelly, and ordered twenty more warriors to ride away with him. The others rested in place, and Faress clenched his fists as he watched the flames rise in the direction of Squirrel Town.
The wind was blowing, and soon Alan heard the sound of horses' hooves. Then he saw a woman running in her direction, and behind her there were a dozen fast horses. The knight on the horse played with the woman like a cat and mouse, and he was not in a hurry to start, but rode his horse to drive the woman to her life, and from time to time let out a string of laughter.
Alan narrowed his eyes, the woman was none other than the Physician Guna. He raised his hand, and several fire shooters behind him immediately understood, and they all controlled the war horse with their legs, and with both hands, they unloaded the raging rifles behind their backs and pointed at the rider opposite.
The riders chasing Guna also spotted Allen's team, but they were not afraid, leaving the two horses to control Guna. The rest rushed out, apparently wanting to have a horse fight with Allen's side. Alan sneered, he was not interested in accompaniment. The arm swung down hard, and the rough gunfire characteristic of the Raging Fire Rifle rang out from the left and right behind him. The line of fire rose more and more into the air, and in one round of strafing, most of the riders on the opposite side were shot. The rest of the horses turned their heads when they saw that the situation was not right, and Alan let out a long howl, and the Red King unsheathed, and even crossed a hundred meters with a knife and fell in front of the rider.
Alan turned and swept a knife, and the movements of the five or six riders suddenly froze. Then everyone's clothes shredded from their waists, and blood spurted wildly. As if swept by an invisible thread, the rider slipped from the top of the horse, and the part below the waist remained on the horse.
The two horses that controlled Guna finally changed color, and they couldn't care about Guna anymore, so they left the woman and turned around and ran wildly.
Eren collected his sword and swept in front of Gona. The girl was exhausted, and when she saw that it was Allen, her eyes were red, and she pointed in the direction of the town and only shouted "help", and then passed out. Alan frowned and handed Guna to one of his warriors to take the girl back to the caravan. He himself led Regis and the others to continue in the direction of Squirrel Town, but unfortunately it was too late, and the town was already in a sea of fire.
Alan told Regers to wait outside the town, while he abandoned his horse and plundered into the town. Then he suppressed the sea of fire with the power of the Fire King, and a power centered on him instantly spread, covering the entire town, and the flames in the town gradually extinguished as if they were pressed down by an invisible hand. A few minutes later, Regis and the others also entered the town. However, after this fire, there was no end to the town.
In the small square of the town, Alan stood silent. The townspeople were piled up into a hill, and men, women, and children, young and old, had been reduced to charred corpses. In the hands of a child corpse, Alan saw the wooden horse he had chipped. It's just that the Trojan horse has been burned to the rest of the piece, and the rest is dead in the hands of the child. Alan gently broke it off, put it in his arms, and then turned around and said, "If you find those murderers, you can't let any of them go!" β
One of the brass blades in the team immediately responded to the order, and it didn't take long for the news to arrive. Alan and his party left the town and re-entered Sentinel Ridge under the brassblade's lead. At a small river at the entrance to Sentinel Ridge, a team of horses stopped on the riverside. The horses were grazing and drinking, and a man crouched on the bank of the river, pulling his hand out of the river. The river was scarlet and flowed down to the town beneath the mountain that had turned to ashes.
Suddenly, someone said "Huh" and said, "Look, the fire in the town is out." I'm not going to be dazzled, am I? β
The man who was wiping his hands jumped up at once, and stood on a slope looking in the direction of Squirrel Town, where the fire that should have been burning for an hour or two was extinguished. His face changed, and he shouted, "Something bad, go quickly!" β
A voice rang out: "Where do you want to go?" Why don't I send you to hell? β
The man heard the sound and looked, but he couldn't see anything else, only a scarlet sword light like the bright sun on an autumn afternoon, dividing the world in his eyes in two.
In other people's eyes, this man was cut in two by a sudden red light. The sword light disappeared, and a silver-haired young man stood with a knife, his red eyes slowly sweeping over everyone in the field. The person who was swept by his gaze seemed to be able to see his own corpse in his eyes. The scene was silent at first, and then the sound of killing was everywhere. The young man just sneered, dragged the knife into the crowd, and everywhere there was a bloody storm.
When Regers and his party joined the battle, the forty-strong team of horse thieves was wiped out. Allen placed several fire shooters at the commanding heights before the operation, so that none of the horse thieves escaped. Then he found bags of bags on the bodies of several war horses, and opened them, which were full of gold coins and food, presumably stolen from the town.
Alan sighed and had the things sent back to town and buried with the bodies of the townspeople. It was already afternoon after finishing this work, and Alan returned to the caravan with his men.
It is already a well-known fact that horse thieves are abundant in the Dragon Bone Plain, just like the bandits in the Dark Lands, the horse thieves in the Dragon Bone Plain are also a major hidden danger in the surrounding area. It's just that the plains are vast, and horse thieves come and go like the wind, and it is not easy to encircle and suppress them. What's more, who can say for sure whether there are big people behind these horse thieves, otherwise the Imperial Hall Motheol is on the other side of the Dragon Bone Plain, and how can the gray-backed bear armor army stationed in Motheol allow the horse thieves to exist to this day.
Back in the caravan, Guna had woken up. There were no injuries on his body, but the mental injuries were worse than the physical ones, and he was now staying in the carriage with Lucy. Fares relayed Guna's words, it turned out that she had gone into the mountains early this morning to collect medicine, but she did not expect to escape because of this. Shortly after their caravan left, a horse thief attacked the town. They looted the town's property and eventually killed people and set fires. By the time Guna saw the town on fire in the mountains and rushed back, there was no one to save her.
Later, she discovers for the horse thief that if Alan hadn't arrived in time, there wouldn't have been a single survivor in Squirrel Town.
After speaking, Faress hesitated, "My lord, can you bring Miss Guna with you?" Now she has no home to return to. β
Alan looked at Edward next to him and asked, "What do you think?" β
Edward said lightly: "It's just one more mouth, we can afford it." Besides, she's a doctor, and if she's willing to go with us, that's a good thing for us. β
"I'll ask her." Alan walked back to the carriage, opened the door and got inside. After a moment, he came out and nodded to a few people.
Faress exhaled, finally letting go of the big stone in his heart. Rick next to him smacked him lightly and smiled meaningfully.
The caravan continued its journey, passing through the keel plain the next day. After walking through a wooded field, along the forest road, in the afternoon you will see the towering gray-white walls of MosΓ©or.
The largest city in the south is ten times more prosperous than Sardinia, and before you even enter the city, you can hear the sounds of people in the city. This time the entry into the customs went very smoothly, and there was no more unseen tax officer who suddenly raised the tariff. After presenting the identity papers and paying the customs duties, the caravan entered Motheol, where it was overwhelmed by the crowd in an instant.
Motheol's lively atmosphere made the already depressed Guna forget the sadness of the slaughter of the town, and she leaned on the side of the car window, curiously looking at the surrounding streetscape. The streets of the city are much wider than those of the small town, and even a few horse-drawn carriages running side by side are not crowded. The buildings on both sides are made of gray stone bricks, tall and sturdy. In the distance, minarets and bell towers can be seen everywhere, and above those buildings, the battle flags of the Xiongjia Army flutter in the wind.
Farres chose this inn called "Green Algae" as a caravan to stay, one of the bustling streets of Moserol. Across this street is the Orlando Market, one of the city's largest commodity hubs. There are many taverns and shops, and the currency of the north and south of the empire can be found in almost all the bazaars.
