Chapter 80: Seizure by Force
The Aclaires followed the Shadow Regiment into the woods, and they lay in ambush on the side of the horse team, observing the movements of both sides.
The convoy consisted of two horse-drawn carriages for people and three carriages for transporting goods, and there were about twenty knights around them, all of whom were well-dressed in plate armor and holding different weapons, among them there were two half-elves dressed in elven-style light armor, they were armed with magic wands, and they were obviously magic knights who were good at magic, although these knights were on the way to retreat, but they were all full of spirit and fighting spirit, and even the horses under them were tall and strong, obviously a very elite team.
Aclay stared at the windows of the two carriages, trying to see inside.
"Did you find Julio?" asked Anal.
"Wait. The windows of their carriage were lifted. Aclay saw the curtains of the second carriage lifted, revealing the face of a teenager, "It's him! ”
"It's good to be sure that people are there. Anal flung the hammer in her hand.
"Don't be impulsive. We have to wait for our chance. Aclay said.
"Am I like an impulsive person?" Anal said dismissively, "I. Be. One. Piece. Law. Division. I'm just doing some math. ”
Aclay coughed twice and said, "This convoy definitely has another purpose, and the things it carries are not simple." Just by looking at the appearance of this team, you know that it must be the duke's most powerful personal guard. If you fight Augusto's team, it will definitely not end the battle for a short time. As long as they mess up and don't have time to take care of Julio, we can go up and grab people. ”
"It's going to be fun. Anal stared at Augusto and said, she asked Glade again, "When will Luo Ling come up?"
"Soon, I could clearly feel the imprint of magic left on her again. So the distance is definitely getting closer. The people she brought with her are not bad, and they will not be slower than us to get there. I think with just another half an hour, she'll be able to catch up with the fight. ”
"Half an hour? That's enough, let's hurry up and figure this out on our own in half an hour. Anar said.
Akleh: "......"

Augusto stood in front of the convoy, exuding momentum, and the horses of the convoy stopped and tried to turn and run away, and the knights on the horses took a great effort to calm the horses.
A middle-aged knight walking in the middle of the team rode forward, seeing that these warriors did not look like horse thieves, and even he couldn't figure out the depth of the person in the front, so he suppressed the surprise and anger in his heart, and said loudly: "This is the caravan of the Duke of Greenwood City, I don't know who came in front, what do you want to do?"
Augusto did not answer, and it was Gerardo who spoke: "We are the people of the Temple of Nature, and this is the leader of the southwestern branch of the Shadow Order, Lord Augusto, the Great Swordsman. ”
"It turned out to be Lord Augusto. The middle-aged knight's face was solemn, "I am Angelo, the knight leader of Lord Parsa Solanas, Duke of Greenwood, may I ask you from the Natural Temple what advice do you have?"
"We've got information that there are remnants of the Temple of War hidden in this team, and they've smuggled a large amount of supplies to the Temple of War to recruit troops and horses, and then continue to fight against the Temple of Nature. The stakes were high, so Lord Augusto came to check it out himself.
What you have to do is very simple, just cooperate with our orders. If you are all right, knight, then stand by and let my men search your carriage. When the search is over, we will naturally let the innocent people go. ”
Angelo clenched his fists, gripped the reins of his mount, and unconsciously bent the horse's head, which snorted and shook its head. Even for the duke, the nature temple is a huge trouble, if it is a conflict with one or two people in the nature temple, the duke's palace is naturally not afraid, even if it provokes some low-level priests, there is no big problem. But the leader of the Shadow Regiment in front of him is obviously a guy who is extremely difficult to provoke.
If he was just escorting some people, he would have let the other party check, but the problem was that the appearance of these people was eyeing the Duke's property at a glance. These people from the Shadow Regiment are not good at it, and they don't know how many of these things they have done by fighting the false gods.
Angelo had to respond in a very careful tone: "Our team is made up of the Duke's family and personal guards, and there is no way that there is any remnant of the Temple of the God of War. ”
"Oh, are you questioning our judgment? Or is there something else going on? Where do you get the confidence to say that you don't have any remnants of the Temple of War in your ranks? Do you know the details of everyone in your ranks? If so...... Then you are a fellow party of the Temple of the God of War!" Gerardo asked one question after another, his voice getting louder and louder, and finally his voice even frightened the man in front of him. Gerardo saw his reaction in his eyes, and he already had confidence in his heart, he saw too much of this kind of goods that showed off his might outside and became a kitten in front of the Shadow Troupe.
"No, no! Greenwood has always been a staunch ally of the Nature, we have provided many warriors to the Nature, and we have never been less than the Nature's offerings, and we participated in the Nature's operation against the Warriors five years ago. Something must have gone wrong. Angelo said.
"The worst enemy often comes in the face of your best friend. Gerardo said coldly.
Angelo hurriedly said: "My lord, the Temple of the God of War or something, at least there must be evidence." ”
"Evidence? What I say below is evidence. We have ascertained that Julio Solanas, the son of Baron O'Farrell, embraced the belief of the god of war and secretly performed rituals to worship the god of war, and we suspect that he has been contaminated by the power of the false gods, so we must take him with us. Gerardo looked at Angelo playfully, "Don't say you don't have this man in your team, we know that he left the elven community's house in a hurry last night, and then joined up with this team and left the east gate to flee together." Here he is. ”
Seeing that Angelo was speechless, Gerardo said again: "You don't have to take any chances, the Shadow Troupe has many eyes, and nothing in the world can escape our grasp, so get out of the way obediently, any blasphemer who offends the god of nature deserves the judgment he deserves." ”
Angelo closed his eyes and sighed, then opened them again, "My lord, our caravan also carries this year's offerings, a total of 1,000 golden axes, can you please hand them over?"
