Chapter Forty-Eight: The Night of Martial Law
As time went on, there were more and more guards outside. Most of them were armed church men patrolling with a few church knights, and they were walking the streets in teams of more than a dozen people.
Having already eaten dinner, some of his men went back to their rooms and began to rest, and had little interest in the martial law outside, while others sat in the hall, chatting without saying a word.
"In my opinion, let's go to bed early, maybe tomorrow the martial law will be removed. The big-nosed Fan half-squinted his eyes, and he saw that Avi had not returned to the room, so he had to accompany the horse farm boy.
"Do you think those mercenary subordinates who live elsewhere will be in danger," Marcus trained the dozens of people with his own hands, and it would be a shame if they died, "I just saw a church officer with a weapon stained with blood, and I guess someone has been executed." ”
Noor shook his head and said, "Probably not, but we have joined the chief mercenary group of the Church Alliance, so we are also our own people."
"It's hard to say, the people of the church alliance are their own people, are the people who are on guard against their own people?" Although the big nose fan said in a flirtatious tone, his words were always to the point.
Others also found Fan's words quite reasonable. The deputy head of the regiment, Rashad, said that in order to protect the safety of the second prince of Salins, the city gates were closed, and the church knights and church forces were also sent to impose martial law. The truth in this is definitely not right, let alone protecting the envoy, even if you want to capture the envoy, you don't need such a big battle, I'm afraid tonight's matter is not so simple.
"Could it be that the soldiers of the Empire have already preemptively struck outside the Holy Light City, right?" Hughes had already gone back to his room to rest, and after hearing the loud discussion of the people outside, he walked out and asked.
"The martial law fighters were all staring at the streets, their swords and guns looking for targets in the city, not as if they were fighting a foreign enemy. Patrick said. As he approached from his hut, he was stopped by the guards who had just stepped onto the street to inquire about it.
Fede saw that there were different opinions, and he had no clue of his own, so he had to remain silent. He noticed that Ayana had sharpened all the wooden arrows and filled the quiver before he walked to his small room satisfied. Feder began to suspect that the girl would do something dangerous tonight, and that was what he feared most.
Sure enough, after everyone went back to sleep, Fidel noticed that the lights in Ayana's room had been turned on again some time after the lights had gone out. Then it was quickly turned off again, and with Fidel's eavesdropping, Ayana could be heard open through the floor, then closed again.
Fei De didn't think much of it, he immediately jumped out of his window and slowly groped his way up to the roof. With the effect of the light hedron, Fed was able to climb up the house with ease even when wearing the "Black Flash" without making a lot of noise. If you haven't fallen asleep and are focused on the roof, you should be able to hear someone jumping on the roof.
As he looked around from the rooftops, he found that the streets and houses were mostly pitch black, except for a group of armed men under martial law with torches in their hands, and most of the other places had blown out the oil lamps, even the hanging lights outside the bar. He noticed that behind the house were a field of blackened houses, and farther behind was the religious castle of the Holy Light City.
Ayana's figure jumped onto the blackened house, and then she walked on the roof as if she were running on the grass.
Feder quickly realized that the other party wanted to move in the direction of the castle, could it be that this strange girl saw the second prince as a prey?He had noticed something wrong in Ayana's eyes this morning, and after watching Prince Amso's convoy, she began to show the eyes of a hunter, like a leopard ready to attack. It seems that she cut so many arrows for tonight's operation.
While Feder wasn't sure who she was going to attack, it was certain that her prey would be Prince Amsoil or someone close to him. Fed remembered that Rashad had said that he would protect Prince Amsol, and that the deputy head of the Knights of the Church would not have known that Ayana, a fourteen-year-old girl, wanted to assassinate Amsol. After all, Russell and Fio entrusted this little girl to themselves, even if she was going to seek death, she had to watch her die with her own eyes, and it couldn't just end inexplicably.
Fidel also walked along the rooftop path where the figure had passed, trying to keep his distance from Ayana's figure, as if he got too close, she would surely spot him. Or maybe she had already found out, but she just ignored Fed's follow.
In addition to the dagger on her body, Ayana only had the bow and arrow on her back, and she was only wearing the most ordinary coarse cloth clothes, and she did not pay attention to the cold wind of the night at all. However, just as Fed wondered how Ayana would enter the castle, Ayana jumped into a private house built just outside the castle. Suddenly rain fell from the sky, and in an instant it turned into a torrential downpour, and in an instant Phyd was drenched. He followed Ayana's path to the top of the small house.
From here, he could see the heavily guarded castle gates. Many martial law garrisons were handed over in this place, and it was certainly impossible to go from here to the castle. If you want to climb over the city wall, it is unlikely for Ayana, who has no aids. But just as Fed wondered what Ayana was going to do in the little house, a team of guards with torches walked by and lit up the little house. Fidel saw through the crack in the roof that Ayana was no longer in the small house, and he was taken aback, immediately opened the window, and climbed inside.
It was pitch black in the house, but Feyder could feel where the objects were. He had seen Ayana sneak into the little house, but why was she nowhere to be seen now, but the mystery was soon solved, and as Fidel groped in the darkness, he found a path to the underground, and it was only blocked by an ordinary wooden plank.
Fed flipped over the plank and began to grope his way underground. This section of the road is wide, and the stairs on the ground are smooth, and it is estimated that they were built by excellent craftsmen. And when Fed walked to the level, he found that the direction of the tunnel was towards the castle of the Holy Light, and if I guessed correctly, the front was the bottom of the castle - but why would Ayana know about this secret passage? However, he knew that Ayana was in front, so he also accelerated his pace.
As the tunnel deepened, some light finally came from a distance, presumably an oil lamp in the tunnel. Fett pressed his body to the ground, and he listened quietly, noticing a number of footsteps ahead, presumably by the castle guards.
Just then, a hand reached out from the darkness and pulled Fidra over.
"What are you doing here?" said Ayana's voice in the darkness beside Feid.
Only then did Fidel realize that there was a fork in the road next to him, and Ayana hid next to him, "This should be the question I asked you." ”
"You're stalking me?"
"Hmm. ”
"You'd better go back and don't linger here," Feder couldn't see the other man's face clearly in the dark, but he could feel the girl's breathing, "I can't guarantee your safety." There was a rare concern in Ayana's tone, since the Greenstem Plant's mission, Ayana's attitude towards Fid had changed a lot, and she was not completely indifferent.
"You haven't answered me yet. ”
Ayana turned her head, her voice weakening a little, "You don't have to worry about my business. With that, she nudged Fed, and walked alone to the fork in the road.
Fid still had many questions in her mind, such as how she knew about this secret passage, what was she going to do on this rainy night, but before he could ask, Ayana had already hidden the sound of her footsteps. If she were caught, she would probably be executed, and even if she had caught, she would not have killed herself for the sake of me being the chief head of the Church League. Thinking of this, Fei De decided to follow the direction that Ayana left, after all, although this little girl is a "hot potato", she has already taken the potato, even if it is hot, she has to take it.
For the rest of the road, Fidel had lost track of Ayana, and there was no light in the direction of this fork in the road. Just as he was about to turn back along the road, he suddenly heard some conversation coming from the wall he was leaning on.
"My lord, we've sent out all of them now to look outside if the castle is inside that"
"Very well, you put the last resort can't"
The conversation between the two was very vague, and Fei De could only guess what the other was saying based on the few words he heard. In fact, the conversation between these two people is not small, but it is too difficult to hear it clearly through the wall. Feld continued along the wall, hoping to hear what he was saying. However, instead of finding a place where he could hear more clearly, he groped for a wooden door.
The wooden door is not locked with an iron lock, and you only need to push it open gently to walk behind the door. Suddenly, footsteps could be heard behind him, and a light source was approaching.
"The water trails went from the windows of the house all the way here, but they don't seem to be there here!"
"Yes, there must be a spy coming in from the hut, but how did the water disappear?"
Fei De noticed that he had been wet by the rain before entering the tunnel, and it was estimated that there were water stains left under his feet for the martial law guards to track him down.
He immediately closed the wooden door softly and walked inside. But he hadn't taken two steps before he struck a chain under his feet, and he had to crouch down at once - who knows what kind of monsters were locked up in this dark room.
