Chapter Sixty-Eight: Captured Objects I

readx;

Two weeks after that feast, Evan and his party went to a small town southwest of Mallot, where Felistie didn't go with them because they were preparing for an exam. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Avi also took those books with him, he would take the academic exam instead of Stitch, and the teachers at the Kestrel Academy seemed to have tacitly agreed that Avi was Stitch's stand-in, and didn't say much.

The town to the north is called Butterfly Town, the largest insect farming town in the Kingdom of Salins, and the name of this town makes Millet feel emotional, so when Michelle hears the name of the town, she decides to stay alone with Stitch and his party in Mallot.

"It's a good thing that there are two fewer women today!" Fan crossed his hands behind his head, whistling while enjoying his leisure time, fortunately Coral couldn't hear Big-Nosed Fan's words, otherwise this sentence would offend her too.

"This is probably the last trip before the exam," Evan said, walking beside Stitch, "The exam of the Kestrel Academy is coming soon, and if someone has a very poor grade, they may be dissuaded by the Kestrel Academy." ”

Stitch: "Will I be on the list of dismissals?"

"Of course you won't, but it doesn't hurt you to get good grades, does it?" Evan remembered two letters from the East Oguna Empire, one from Duke Bernardo to Stitch, and the other from him. Duke Bernardo was very polite in the letter, in which he thanked Evan very much for taking care of his young son, and hoped that Evan would treat Stitch strictly and guide him to become an excellent student of the Military Academy. Bernardo also expressed the hope that Stitch would become a bridge of friendship between the Oguna Empire and the Kingdom of Salins and contribute to peace and friendship in the future.

Although Evan did not marry and have children, he was still able to understand Duke Bernardo's good intentions, and he also hoped that his nephew Fede could become the pillar of the country and the dragon among people. And now in Evan's heart, Stitch is already half of his family, as long as he can study here seriously, maybe he can really make the relationship between the Kingdom of Salins and the East Oguna Empire better in the future, after all, the Kingdom of Salins does not have enough strength to dominate the continent now, and it is not a bad thing to turn enemies into friends.

Just as the group of five people was talking and laughing, and were about to enter Butterfly Town, a group of mercenaries suddenly appeared from the south! That group of mercenaries was riding war horses, holding sabers in their hands, and was rushing towards Avi and them with murderous energy!

Evan reacted immediately, and he could see at a glance that these guys were coming for them, "Quick! Escape into town!" he shoved Stitch, and he immediately drew the short knife at his waist, and watched the mounted mercenaries rushing from a distance as he ran towards the town.

Avi and Bignose Van immediately protected Stitch as they ran to the town, while Evan noticed that the number of mercenaries was not large, only about twenty people, and he guessed that the mercenaries were coming for Stitch, and when Stitch rushed into Butterfly Town, he stood alone at the entrance of the town, ready to deal with those mercenaries.

The people of the town had no idea what was going on, and as soon as they saw the murderous mercenary team, they immediately hid inside the building, while Stitch also hid in a house at the entrance of the town under the cover of Avi and Van and watched the situation outside vigilantly from the window.

"What's going on!Could it be a mercenary hired by the Theoguna Empire?!" Stitch didn't have a weapon on him, he just grabbed a wooden stick from the room to defend himself.

Avi and Fan didn't know what the sudden enemy was, but it was certain that the twenty or so mercenaries were definitely coming at Stitch, because when the horseback mercenaries couldn't see Stitch, they changed their route and did not continue to rush towards Evan who was guarding the entrance of the town.

"Do you want to report to Mallot's defenders?" Fan glanced out of the window, the horseback mercenaries were gone, and some of the more daring civilians had come out of the building, looking to see what was going on.

"Now that there are mercenaries on horseback outside, Stitch must not go out, if you want to send someone to Mallot, then let Coral go..."As soon as Avi's voice fell, there was a shout of scolding from Butterfly Town.

Avi and Van hadn't seen what was going on in the town, but Coral, who was following Evan, saw a large group of mercenaries wearing swords and inlaid armor in the center of Butterfly Town, about fifty or sixty people. The fellows appeared in the center of Butterflytown, brandishing their swords and kicking over the vendor stalls that stood in the way of the town's roads, heading in the direction of Evan's side.

Avi peeked out of the window, and at a glance, he knew that these mercenaries must be in a group with those mercenaries on horseback, and their target is probably also Stitch, "In this case, hide Stitch in the corner of the house first, Fan you are also hiding in the upper floor of the house, if those mercenaries really rush into here, you have to do your best to protect him." I'll rush out now and see if I can get the attention of those mercenaries!"

Although Stitch didn't want to hide here, he couldn't do it with only a wooden stick in his hand, so he had to hide in a closet, while Fan was hiding in the attic, keeping an eye on the situation outside from the window.

Avi had already thought about it, he planned to rush out from here, and then snatch a horse not far away, with his equestrian skills, it is estimated that he can lure those guys away, if there is really no way to lure away the mercenary team, he must also report the situation to Mallot's guards as soon as possible, so that they can come here to rescue.

Coral and Evan were still guarding the entrance to the town, and when they saw Avi rushing towards the horse tied to the hotel, they both understood. Coral immediately ran to the height of a building to give Avi directions, while Evan saw several town guards walking by, and he immediately ran over to ask them to follow him to protect Stitch.

As soon as the guards heard Evan's request, they immediately pretended not to have heard it, and walked briskly in the direction of a tavern. It wasn't known if they knew Evan or not, but it was certain that the guys were either afraid of the mercenaries or had taken the money and didn't dare to make a sound.

Just when Evan had nothing to do, the mercenaries with swords had already noticed Evan, but the mercenaries led by him looked at Evan intently for a few moments, and shouted loudly to his subordinates behind him: "It's not this! The person we are looking for is not him, and you don't want to trouble this guy!"

The men behind the mercenary captain echoed loudly, and they joined the mounted mercenaries who appeared at the entrance of the town, completely ignoring Evan who was standing on the sidelines, and just scattered around on their own, as if they were looking for someone.

Evan was now sure that these guys were coming for Stitch, and maybe the people who hired these mercenaries knew their identities, so he ordered them to ignore him. But now the situation has become very embarrassing, this mercenary team of nearly a hundred people has turned a blind eye to itself, and he can't solve so many people alone, and for a while, Evan can't think of a solution.

By this time, Coral had climbed to the top of a building, and she gestured with her longbow in her hand, telling Avi that she should break through in that direction to break out of Butterfly Town.

When Avi saw Sango's instructions, he immediately tightened the reins and ran in one direction of Butterfly Town, and deliberately appeared in front of more than a dozen mercenaries, loudly provoking the mercenaries.

The mercenary captain led by the leader had eyes lit up when he saw Avi, "That's this guy!
