Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Prison Receptionist and the Threat of the Knight Master
Night.
Natsume was not the only one running along the street, and there were at least twenty people following him.
With various weapons in his hands, the person at the front threw the torch forward, revealing Natsume's figure in the running darkness.
The shouts of the garrisons came from the rear, and the sound echoed throughout the crooked street.
In the field of vision, a path made of stone paved roads suddenly appeared, and the stone-paved path led to the top of the mountain.
Paths?
Because there were many people patrolling the village, even though the main road was easy to escape and find a way out of the village, it was easy to be discovered by the enemy, so Natsume chose this path that led to the deep mountains.
The golf suit on his body was scratched by a tree branch, but there was no problem because there were several spare sets stored in the shadow.
It's really convenient to talk about shadows.
But that's not true.
Natsume suddenly remembered that he was an ordinary person, so as an ordinary person, he would definitely not be able to take out metal sticks and spare clothes through the shadow, so it would be useless at all!
Putting that aside for now, Natsume crossed a stream and ran to a darker place, but ......
Shout!
The whistling sound of the arrow cutting through the air sounded, and Natsume did not hesitate, jumping directly behind the tree trunk.
The fires flickered, and the footsteps of many people rang out from the trampling of grass and dead branches, and judging by the number of torches, there were about twenty.
Glancing at his hands, Natsume casually picked up a light and slightly sharp stone from the side, Weishenme chose to fight?
Quite simply, because the torches did not slowly appear from behind, but gradually emerged from all directions, that is, surrounded!
It seemed that he heard the sound of talking, and saw an obese middle-aged man with his nose covered shouting
"Come out! I already knew about you! Judging by your outfit, it looks like the guy the grown-up is looking for! Dare to be the enemy of the British?! It's ridiculous! When I catch you, let you taste the so-called karmic fire! โ
It was an almost roaring voice, but Natsume didn't care about this, but what Doricel called 'that adult'.
Someone, looking for me?
So who is it? What's the matter?
Thinking was interrupted here, the scene in front of him was illuminated by the firelight, and the voice of a soldier armed with a one-way blade immediately rang out.
"Found it!"
Cut!
It's running!
No, it should be an attack that is based on the effects and effects of running.
The stone in his hand was not used as a weapon, but as a bait.
Natsume threw the stone in her right hand the moment she started, and it rolled in the grass and made a sound, attracting the attention of some people.
This is a deep mountain, so even if there are more than 20 torches, it will not be able to illuminate all places, so even if Natsume is discovered, he can rely on this action to attract the attention of the enemy.
Those people would have thought that this soldier was dazzled and misunderstood, and even if someone rushed over, it would be much less than the original.
Just as Natsume had guessed, some of them shouted that they had found the enemy, and rushed in the direction of the stone thrown by Natsume with their partners next to them.
The soldier in front of him was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that there were still people who didn't trust his judgment, so he slashed the blade in his hand with some anger.
Faced with a left-to-right slash, Natsume dodged the attack with a backward leap, stepped forward with both feet before he withdrew his weapon, grabbed his wrist with his left hand, and held his hilt with his right hand, reversing the blade and then making a counterclockwise spin.
Seeing the sword light flickering at his throat, the soldier didn't dare to move for half a minute after swallowing his saliva, which made Natsume breathe a sigh of relief.
Of course, it would be nice if he could escape as a hostage, but I guess it's not that simple.
The people who had come over because of his shouts had gathered here, and through the light of the torches, they spotted Natsume, who had taken the soldiers hostage in the night.
โbiedong๏ผโ
He shouted symbolically, but with Natsume's words came the sound of breaking wind that could be heard even in this noisy environment.
Damn it.
Natsume kicked away the kidnapped soldier and jumped to the side, but the speed was a beat slower, and the blade of the arrow tore the skin of Natsume's right arm, and the pain came with the weapon in the hands of the enemy.
The spear burst out from the front of the side, and Natsume, who was crouching on the ground, tried to dodge to the left, but this time it was two people attacking.
The two-sided flank attack made Natsume unable to dodge, and even if he moved forward or backward, he would be caught up by the opponent's attack, so Natsume jumped.
Even if you don't have the physique of a 'saint', even if you are not yet a 'god's right seat', before those names and liliang, you are a ......
"A real mercenary!"
Although the huge liliang brought a jump that couldn't catch up with the previous height, it was enough for Natsume to fight back.
It's a head-down, arm-strength jump.
Seeing that the spear had cut off a bit of hair, Natsume's hands reached down and grabbed the hilt of the spear flying in front of him, and at the same time, in order to dodge the second broadsword attack, Natsume used his arms together, swung his feet, and kicked the soles of his shoes in the face before the enemy attacked.
Yes, the attack distance of both feet is a bit longer than that of the broadsword, so he was kicked by Natsume before he could reach it. Relying on this inertia and momentum, Natsume landed perfectly on the ground and quickly pulled it, throwing it along with the spear before the enemy who was still unbalanced in attack could react.
Two screams rang out, Natsume gasped heavily, this simple combat attack consumed so much energy, I really don't know if it goes on, if you participate in the battle with this body, you will definitely be killed in seconds.
Natsume, who just wanted to take a break, was forced to run, and the soldiers who had been led away had already caught up.
"Oops."
Natsume remorsefully repented for his carelessness, because the place he was currently in was a place with few clearings in the forest, which meant that there was no place to hide.
It seems that the move just now was a misjudgment.
But reality didn't give Natsume a chance to repent, and only heard an order sound.
"Shoot!"
Dozens of arrows flew quickly, and the fan-shaped range of the attack made it impossible for Natsume to dodge.
Lowering his body, Natsume used it as a weapon while the first arrow hit him, but this method comes with great danger, that is, he doesn't know where the arrow landed, if it's the heart, it's all over.
Of course, it is impossible for the record to come out, and she can't let others see her.
Therefore...... That's the only way to do it.
However, at this time, the sound of horses neighing, and I saw a knight in silver armor rushing out of the forest, his spear swinging, blocking all the arrows, Zuihou turned his gaze to Natsume.
"You're the mercenary."
The armor shining with silver light echoed with the moonlight, and in order to make the knight who had quieted down his mount let out a sigh, his cold eyes were on Natsume, and with a wave of his hand, the cavalrymen who acted closely surrounded Natsume.
Coming back to her senses, Natsume found herself in a prison cell.
There is a skylight overhead behind the back, and an iron fence is added to prevent the prisoners from escaping. Then there was the ironwood door, illuminated only by torches flickering in the air, and everything was quiet.
No one? Natsume wondered.
Although he is not a big person, as long as he finds a breakthrough point in this lax defense, it is not difficult to escape.
The biggest drawback of this cell is its porous structure, the wooden fence can swell into the water due to dampness, breaking through the rocks, and the fence can decay and become vulnerable, but before Natsume can find the hole, the footsteps are the first to sound.
The sound of iron clashing was heard, and the heavy footsteps showed the steady pace of the comer, and the light of the torches brought by the comer brightened, and a knight who had taken off his helmet but was still fully armed walked in.
Seeing the knight, Natsume stepped back, kept his distance, and squatted on the ground.
There were no beds in this cell, only a floor made of weeds, and from the outside, you could clearly see the various detentions.
It is not so much a prison cell as a torture cell.
The current time is still late at night judging by the color outside, and it is not caused or night, which means that Natsume has not lost consciousness for too long.
After confirming this, Natsume looked at him, but the action made the knight sitting in the chair smile.
"It was quite rude before, and I had to bring you here as a last resort."
The knight not only smiled bitterly, but also showed a surprised expression.
"Although only I know about this, I am still very surprised that the head of the regiment still has a friend like you."
"Commander? Knight Captain? โ
If it was that person, if the knight knew about his relationship with the head of the knight, then it would make sense to be so polite to himself.
But, weishenme?
Weishenme: The person who came back to look for him, it stands to reason that he should have approached on his own initiative.
Although the battle in the Strait of Dover is about to begin, the date is not so large, and there is still a certain amount of time, if it is so impatient, something must have happened.
No, no, no, even if something happens, it won't come to you.
One is the knight captain of the British royal family, and the other is a mercenary wandering around, and the identity gap is already very different, even if he asks for help, he doesn't think of himself.
The two of them, who are friends, haven't really gotten to this point in getting acquainted with each other.
"Don't think about it, we came to see it because we were passing through here and we got a report from that guy from Doricelle. Strange costumes, emaciated men, exotic visitors, and most importantly, the portrait he provides, as you think, I came to investigate on the orders of the regimental commander. โ
"So, what is it for?"
"I can only provide a little information below."
The knight, who was seated, stood up and pulled something out of his bosom, a somewhat sketchy diagram.
"Many of the three major denominations in Britain must be very clear to many people, and their relationship is also very obvious. The "royal faction" uses royal orders to control the "knightly faction"; The "Knights" used the "Puritans" with national political props; The "Puritans" manipulated the "royals" with the advice of the church; It's a bit like snakes, frogs, and slugs, but ......"
The knight paused, and continued
"There is some strange behavior on the part of the knightly faction, that is, the Calysa who rules us directly, and of course, the determination of the French side and the British court. However, as a soldier, Zai Xia has no intention of interfering at all, everything will be arranged by Lord Kailisa, and the blood in her body will also be squandered for her, so that it is the regiment leader who makes these remarks. Britain and Shijie are undergoing a qualitative change, and we, as the spears of Britain, will pierce the enemy, defeat the invaders, and defend the homeland, but now, it is a little unsettling. โ
Whether it's the queen or the three princesses, the knight said this, and his eyes were fixed on Natsume
"Zuihou has one more word."
The knight had a somewhat amused expression, which caused Natsume to question.
"What's wrong?"
"The captain also said that if you don't follow us this time, the name 'William Orwell' will appear on the next nationally wanted list."
"What a mess."
But so.
Although the knight nodded in agreement, his movements were different, and he also made an extremely chaotic move.
The door lock of the cell was unlocked with a key hung on the wall.
Even without Dorikel's consent, he released Natsume, a 'sinner'.
"I don't have any doubts about the actions of the Commander or Lord Kelissa, just as it is natural to protect this land, so don't be surprised by what you are doing."
Is this a knight's affirmation and maintenance of his own glory?
Natsume nodded, then moved his wrist and said
"It's natural, how long will it take to leave?"
The knight thought for a moment, looked at the moonlight that would soon dawn, and spoke
"As soon as the morning dawns, please come with you."
(More so much first, ask for some collections and recommendations!) The results have been dismal lately! )
(It's time to save the princess soon, and sure enough, the British princess can't let it go~ The battle in the Strait of Dover, work hard to write well, thank you for your great support.) ๏ผ
