Chapter 0522 - Ruthless Means

"DΓΌssel, what about you?" asked the responding soldier, whose face was burned and missing a few fingers, temporarily bandaged with a cloth, and the outside had been stained red with blood.

DΓΌssel is a small town, bigger than a normal town, but smaller than a city, but it happens to be strategically located.

"I'm from there, too, and I got separated from the army when I retreated, so it's great to find you. Alex greeted the soldiers skillfully.

It is not surprising that many people are often scattered during a war retreat, especially in the case of a crushing defeat, and some soldiers will even kill their own people in the process of retreating.

After getting a general idea of the situation, Alex asked, "Do you know where to find something to eat, I haven't eaten for a long time. ”

"There is no food here, we have already looked for it, at least we have to wait for reinforcements to come, we can get food, and then as long as we find the original boss to return to the team, we will be able to get supplies. Someone responded.

"But I won't be able to wait until that time to starve to death, and if any of you have something to store for me, I will surely give me a good reward when the time comes. "Alex really can't wait for that time, and he'll have to keep going after adding here.

Everyone was indifferent to the request of this false companion, even the warm-hearted soldier with whom he had just talked was immediately like this, and no one would choose to be a good person at this time, because everyone knew that many of the things that were said in the war were not very safe, and it was possible that the reinforcements that came in the afternoon would be delayed for a few days, and if he gave the food he kept to others, it was very likely that he would be hungry with the unlucky man next.

Alex could see that he had to find something to eat on his own, and turned to leave the group of soldiers, and walked down the street, where there was no need to look inside the rooms, the soldiers had already searched before him, and there was no food left.

The only way seemed to be to look outside the town, and perhaps to see some wild things in the wild, and when he thought of the wild things, he thought of the wizard who had saved him, who had taken good care of himself and healed his injuries, only to end up killing his friend, an innocent girl.

This experience made Alex not feel very good, the girl was just a funeral object, and the person who was really going to kill was the assassin, and if he could have killed the assassin at that time, he would have spared the girl.

But at this point, there was no regret pill to take, and the thought that the girl was in league with the assassin made his guilt lessen a little. "They were all the young man's dogs, and they must have done a lot of bad things, and it was not a pity to die. He comforted himself and walked out of town.

There are also quite a few soldiers outside the town, and those soldiers have the same idea as themselves, they are all looking for some wild things to fill their stomachs, and the competition is quite fierce.

After searching for a while, he soon saw a lone soldier, who was obviously slightly injured, but what he had in his hand that interested Alex more, it was a rabbit, a hare.

Looking around, the soldier seemed to be here deliberately alone to avoid the rest of his companions, and he wanted to keep the little rabbit to himself.

However, the other party also saw Alex, he wanted to hide the rabbit in his hand, but he understood that it was too late, and walked to Alex's side, the soldier was quite friendly and reminded in a low voice. "You're in luck, keep quiet, the two of us share this rabbit. ”

Alex followed the soldier farther away, and the soldier kept looking back, observing Alex in the rear. "It looks like you've lost an arm, it's bad, we don't get anything to gain from this war, only the king and the pope of the Holy See are the beneficiaries. ”

Alex was stunned for a moment, he was awakened by the other party's words, the only person who can really benefit from this war is the king or the pope himself.

"I wish this damn war was over soon. The soldier grumbled with the rabbit and walked to the back of a small hill to look around. "We're dealing with this rabbit here, no one should find out, you go pick up some firewood. ”

Alex complied, searched for some firewood in the woods, and returned to the place where the soldier had disposed of the rabbit, skinned it, and gutted it.

The fire was lit, the two sat next to each other, the rabbit meat hissed over the flames, and the soldier got up. "You roast, I've got to go and relieve myself. ”

Taking the rabbit meat, Alex flipped it, but it suddenly became difficult to breathe, and his neck was strangled by something, and he couldn't even make a sound.

The soldier didn't pee, it was just a lie, his real purpose was to kill the disabled Alex and then feast on the not fat rabbit alone.

He strangled Alex's neck with a belt on his armor and said apologetically: "This rabbit is obviously not enough for the two of us to share, but you can see it, then it can only make you suffer a little, just for a while, don't resist, close your eyes, it will be more comfortable." ”

Alex struggled, but only had one arm, and he couldn't resist in the face of the move of being strangled by the other party's neck, and his legs kicked on the ground, which was an instinctive human reaction.

The breath became weaker and weaker, and his consciousness became blurred again, it wouldn't be long before he would die here, could this be the retribution for killing the girl, he thought so before he died, but the pain in his legs made him suddenly find a good way.

The hand that was constantly grasping the belt around his neck relaxed and stretched out to his leg, but the soldier did not notice the other party's intentions, thinking that the other party had given up resistance, and sneered: "Yes, that's it, you won't feel hungry after death, at least it's much better than you feel now." ”

Suddenly, there was a splash of bright yellow sparks, and the soldier screamed in pain, unleashed his belt with both hands, and sat on the ground with a clear scar on his face, which happened to be located in the part of his left eye.

Alex gasped for breath, holding the burning stick in his hand, which he had only thought of in a hurry, and when his leg was burned by the flames, he did not stop resisting, but grabbed it with his hand.

Regaining his breath, Alex got up and walked up to the soldier covering his left eye with a fire stick, who raised a hand and shook it for mercy. "Don't do it, it was just a misunderstanding......"

Everyone could see that it was definitely not a misunderstanding, Alex could not have been deceived by such a lie, and slammed the fire stick in his hand on the soldier's head, and the soldier continued to scream, in order not to be discovered by others, they walked far enough away that no one would be detected at all.

Striking the soldier to death with a stick, Alex looked back at the burnt rabbit meat on the fire, and took it off, which seemed to be undercooked, but his stomach was so hungry that he took it and feasted on it, and the half-cooked meat with a strong fishy smell was stuffed into his mouth.

After nibbling on a whole rabbit, he burped, and then he had to continue his journey to the Holy City, but it would be a long time, and he needed food on the way, and food was the only obstacle at the moment, and when he turned back, he saw the soldier who had been killed, and the flames were blazing beside him, and he thought of a not-so-good idea.

Wyatt followed the footsteps of the paladin, the assassin's tracking technology played a key role, the other party did not rush directly to the holy city, but took a detour, the purpose of which was of course to get rid of him, if it was an ordinary person, he would have already been chased and lost.

Tracked to the town, there were a lot of soldiers in the town, Wyatt took Elon Musk into the town, and according to the tracking results, the paladin who killed Bella came to the town.

Elon Musk looked at the soldiers who didn't look very friendly and reminded: "We have to be careful, these soldiers can do everything now." ”

Wyatt certainly understood why these guys had such an attitude towards themselves and Elon Musk, the soldiers had already thought that the two who were more cleanly dressed would definitely bring something to eat or something valuable, and that no one would do justice to what happened during the war.

In order to avoid being mobbed, he dropped the package he was carrying on the ground and then turned back to remind Elon Musk. "Drop your bag. ”

Elon Musk complied, and the rest of the journey between the two looked much safer, at least the soldier was much friendlier to the eyes of the two of them.

The two of them had no sign of the paladin, and they had to ask someone, and Wyatt walked up to one of the soldiers and handed him a silver Caesar. "I need to inquire about something. ”

The soldier stood up and accepted the silver Caesar, but did not stop there. "If you can provide a little to eat, I would be more than happy to answer your questions. ”

"Sorry, I didn't bring anything to eat. Wyatt pressed his hands on his belt and asked, "Have you ever seen a crippled guy with a broken arm?" ”

A mocking smile appeared on the soldier's face, and he looked at the street on either side. "There are quite a few, and there are at least hundreds of them that can be found on the whole street. ”

Indeed, many of the soldiers were wounded, missing arms, and obviously did not have an accurate description of their targets, but he could not think of a description of the fleeing executioner of the Holy See.

He had a thick blue cloth wrapped around one of his legs, a broken right arm, and walked as straight as a stick. Elon Musk was learning the way the paladin walked, but he was learning a little funny.

The soldier thought for a moment, snapped his fingers, and raised his voice to greet a soldier not far away. "Charles, there are some questions that you have to answer. ”

The soldier, who had been sitting with most of the people, trotted over and saluted the junior officer, then looked at Elon Musk and Wyatt. "I've seen him, is there anything wrong with you?"

"There's something very important, we have to find him, do you know where he is now?" Wyatt gritted his teeth, he had to do something about Bella's death.
