Chapter 38: Matthew's Castle
"There was a fire. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Abel reminded Marshall Knight as he looked into the distance.
"That's in the direction of Lord Matthew's castle. The Marshall Knight glanced in the direction of the fire and said affirmatively.
Lord Matthew is the lord lord who sits between the Marshall knights and the Bennett knights, and the relationship between Lord Matthew and the Marshall knights is average, because the fief lord does not recognize the knight lord as a nobleman, although most people in the human world recognize the fact that a knight with a territory is a nobleman, but this does not include some knights with fiefs.
So although Lord Matthew and Knight Marshall are neighbors, the relationship between the two is just to meet and salute each other, and now Knight Marshall sees the fire of Lord Matthew's castle and is a little hesitant to save it.
First of all, the Marshall Knight could not reveal his identity, and if he was found to have left his territory, it would be troublesome.
Secondly, the Marshall knights want to protect Abel, and they can't be sure if they still have the ability to save Matthew Castle.
Abel didn't speak, looking at the Marshall Knight, this matter is left to the Marshall Knight to decide, Abel doesn't know anything about this Lord Matthew, has never met, and has not heard the two knights mention it, so Abel is not so great at rescuing a strange nobleman, and only on the premise of ensuring his complete safety can he make some help.
"Let's go to their rescue, you must not leave my side, I can't come forward in this matter, you can come forward as a master blacksmith. Marshall Knight commanded.
"Yes, Uncle Marshall. Abel obeyed the Marshall Knight's arrangement.
Able removed the Harry from the saddle, and although he had some difficulty with it, it was no problem to shoot three or four arrows.
The Marshall Knight also held the Harry Bow at this time, put the arrow on the arrow platform, and pulled the bowstring, at this time the Marshall Knight discovered another advantage of the Harry's bow, which was especially beneficial for immediate use.
Think about it, with a normal bow, you have to use your legs to control the horse, and then pull the bow hard and keep it on before aiming and shooting.
Harry's bow, on the other hand, can be held with little effort after the bow is drawn, so that the horse can be controlled with more strength, and it is easy to have enough time to aim and shoot.
The speed of the two war horses was very fast, and Abel first noticed that the castle was in chaos, and the four wolf cavalry outside the gate of the castle were chasing the escapees.
Hearing the sound of horses' hooves, four wolf horsemen shouted loudly, and two wolf horsemen rushed towards Abel and Marshall Knight with long knives.
"One in front of you, one behind me. The voice of the Marshall Knight came.
Abel aimed at the first wolf cavalry and pressed the trigger, and the head of the wolf cavalry in front of him was opened, and then the wolf cavalry behind also fell, which was the arrow of the Marshall knight.
The two wolf horsemen, who were still chasing the fleeing man in place, noticed the situation and howled loudly, and Abel understood the orc language, and was calling his companions in the castle to come out to meet the enemy.
Abel and Marshall Knight did not stop, and the subsequent attack caused the two wolf cavalry to fall to the ground, and at this time, the wolf cavalry's seat did not stop after the wolf cavalry died, and rushed towards Abel and Marshall Knight frantically.
After the Marshall knight shot the four wolves in a hurry, he looked back at Abel and said, "See, this is a wolf, extremely loyal, you have to treat your black wind well." ”
"Uncle Marshall, I see. Abel nodded heavily, seeing the four wolves that were shot, he didn't shoot them just now because of the slightest intolerance in his heart, and because of his absolute trust in Marshall's knight.
At this time, six wolf cavalry rushed out of Matthew's castle, and the wolves of the six wolf cavalry were all hung with large packages.
A cold light flashed in Marshall's eyes, and he snorted softly: "Look for death." ”
These wolf cavalry even carried the looted goods with them when they charged, and this greed for money also hastened their demise.
The arrows of Abel and the Marshall Knights had already been fired, and they had recently hit a distance of 30 meters between the two of them, and all six wolf cavalrymen died in the way of the charge, including their wolves.
Looking at these wolf cavalry who died on the way, the Marshall knight sighed and said: "This is a ten-person squad, and the orcs are very strong, but it's a pity that they lack the protection of armor. Glancing back at Abel, he continued: "The blacksmith guild strictly controls and prohibits the guild's blacksmiths from making armor for orcs, and the orcs' own blacksmiths have no skills to make armor, so these orcs can only use their bodies to resist our bows and arrows. ”
The panicked crowd at Matthew Castle slowly discovered that all the wolf cavalry who attacked them had been killed, and the crowd slowly gathered, and a middle-aged man in a ceremonial dress came to Abel, and the Marshall knight was now standing behind Abel as if he were Abel's squire.
"Hello, Lord Knight, thank you for saving us, I'm Ken, the steward of Matthew Castle. Although he was frightened, Ken was very polite because of the etiquette that went deep into his bones, and he gave Abel a thanksgiving salute.
"I'm Abel Harry, I accept your thanks, what about your master?" Abel was very dissatisfied with the fact that the master did not show up after the rescue, and he and the Marshall knight risked their lives to help Lord Matthew, but at this time Lord Matthew did not show up, which was too rude.
"Master Abel, my master has already ......" Hearing this, the butler Ken was already in tears, so sad that he couldn't speak, and the etiquette he had just shown was completely gone, which was too incredible for a noble butler.
Abel's name spread extremely quickly in Harvest City, and the nobles basically knew that there was such a young master blacksmith living in Harvest City.
Abel had already heard that something was wrong, Lord Matthew had an accident, he jumped off the horse and held the butler Ken with his hand, at this time Abel showed a steadiness far beyond his age, and at the age of 13, he was already nearly 1.7 meters tall.
As a nobleman who saved Matthew's Castle, Abel can issue an order on temporary behalf when there is no nobleman in the saved territory, which is one of the rules of the nobles.
"You now arrange for someone to maintain order in the castle, and Lord Matthew's matter is to ask someone to go to Harvest City through the city lord, and the city lord will decide the future. Abel said to Ken the butler.
"As you will. The butler Ken also held back his tears at this time, and at this time, the nobles gave orders to make decisions, which could keep Matthew Castle stable, and there would be no ill-intentioned people taking advantage of the fire to rob it.
Abel didn't stay long, and in an hour or so Matthew Castle was restored to peace, and the bodies of the orcs were piled up in the square in the middle of the castle, while Matthew's remains were placed in the hall, and the bodies of the other killed Matthew families were also placed in the hall, and the bodies of the dead lords and attendants were placed in the side rooms.
All the warehouses were protected with iron locks, and Abel appointed Ken, the butler, and five good guards to protect the property of the Matthew family, waiting for someone from the City Lord's Mansion to deal with the situation.
Everyone in the Mathew family in the castle was killed, and after these orcs rushed into the castle, the first thing they found was the most gorgeous room to rob, which directly led to the fact that the first people to be killed were all people from the Mathew family.
After everything was arranged, Abel Xiang Steward Ken proposed to leave, and the butler Ken did not dare to stop a nobleman, but also a master, although at this moment he especially hoped that Abel could stay and wait for the City Lord's Mansion to send someone.
Coming out of Matthew's Castle, Abel and Marshall Knight glanced at each other, and the sight of Matthew Castle today touched both of them greatly, a lord family that had been inherited for many years disappeared because of an attack.
If it was Bennett's Knight Leader or Marshall's Knight Domain that disappeared, Abel couldn't imagine that he was now more deeply aware of the cruelty of this world again.
The figures of Abel and Marshall knights gradually disappeared into the night, and the butler Ken looked at Abel's back from a distance, and his heart was full of gratitude, and in this case, only two knights came to their rescue, this is the real knight.
