Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Road of Ireland
In the early morning, a ray of sunlight shines on the flagpole at the exit of the town.
At this time, at the exit of the town, there was a team of more than 20 heavily armed men waiting here.
Bah!
A mouthful of thick phlegm spat out, smashing a deep pit in the snow. Byron, one eye, complained impatiently: "Boss Colt, we have been waiting here for more than an hour, why hasn't the employer come this time." Hanging us here on such a cold day, he can't be playing tricks on us, right?"
Colt sat on the wheel of the carriage with his back to Byron, holding a whetstone and sharpening his sword from moment to moment. Hearing the complaints of his subordinates, he didn't turn around, but replied in a deep voice: "People have nothing to do with you, not to mention that I have received all the deposits." The nobles are just getting up late, so be patient. ”
Haile, who was standing on the side, said: "The nobles are like this, if you are afraid of the cold, go back to the carriage and sleep, don't stay here." ”
Byron looked at Hale's face, stiffened his neck and said, "Isn't it okay for me to complain?"
The group waited until three o'clock before dawn to see a tightly wrapped carriage heading towards the exit of the town. After a brief acquaintance with the mercenaries, the team began to hurry.
Dylan came at this time, of course, not because he couldn't get out of bed, but because he deliberately waited until noon according to the calculated time.
The night before, Dylan was being intercepted by a group of axemen on the march road from Birmingham to the town of Krum. Dylan judged that these people should be the Chancellor's hidden shadows in Ireland, and this kind of shadows are planted in the areas of major powers, so it is not unusual.
It was only through the location of these axemen's ambushes that Dylan made a bold assumption.
Suppose that Dylan was discovered on the night he left Birmingham four days ago, but they were pinned down by Isabella and could not come out to chase them openly, so they released carrier pigeons and ordered the shadows in the Irish stronghold to intercept them. Dylan learned the speed of the carrier pigeon from Vincent's collection, and it takes about two days for the military carrier pigeon to travel from Birmingham to Ireland, so the nearest stronghold of the other party should be only a day and a half away from Krum.
Dylan had already calculated, and the other party came to intercept the night before, but failed. If the interception is successful, then they will be back to their stronghold tonight. Tonight, if there is no reply from anyone in the stronghold, the other party will realize that the mission has failed, and then continue to send people to intercept it.
It took two days from the stronghold to Krum, which means that at noon in about two days, Dylan would encounter a second batch of interceptors. From before Krum to Ireland, there will inevitably be a mountain canyon in the middle, and if there is no accident, the other party should be ambushed in the canyon.
Dylan hired this group of mercenaries only to delay time, although the strength of the mercenary group is weak, but at least it can delay the opponent for a few hours. As long as it is night, Maria's combat power can be used. At that time, even if you can't beat the other party, you should still be able to escape until dawn.
In fact, on the night when she was intercepted by the axemen, Maria used the Blood's communication magic weapon to ask for help from Osborne, who was far away in Ireland. Although Dylan did not understand why Mary was not in Birmingham, he informed Osborne. Thankfully, Osborne said that as long as Dylan could hold out for five days, help from Ireland would arrive.
In other words, as long as Dylan's calculations were correct, the rescuers would be able to meet Dylan in the afternoon of the second day, or on the morning of the third day.
All Dylan can think of has already done it, and the final result depends on the sky.

Three days later
In the mountain canyon leading to Ireland, a team of people in black robes are busy here.
A thin mustache was facing the rest of the valley and commanding: "The sword row is set up in the middle of the canyon, buried a little deeper, and when they get to the middle of the road, they are cutting ropes." Wait until the row of swords shoots out, pushing the stone down. ”
The mustache was short in stature, but his voice was loud, and he shouted from the valley to the top of the mountain, "Remy, are all the stones on the valley ready?"
After waiting for a while, he didn't hear Remy's reply, the mustache was a little impatient, and he roared loudly: "Remy, let me ask you if the stone is ready?"
"No need to scream, Remy is speechless. ”
The sudden sound startled him, and the mustache quickly turned around. I saw a young woman with a delicate figure and a sultry posture, standing quietly behind him. The woman looked to be about twenty years old, with white blonde hair, delicate and smooth skin, although her appearance was beautiful, the expression on her face was cold and serious, and her body exuded an aura that no one should enter.
"Hannah, why are you here. ”
When the mustache saw the woman, his face instantly became bloodless, and his originally high voice became low.
Hannah stared at the mustache, the murderous aura in her eyes that could freeze people, and she said coldly, "Whitton, you dare to ambush our people of the Dark Council here. Then the consequences, you also think clearly. After finishing speaking, without waiting for the mustache to react, he rushed directly towards him.
A bloody massacre began.
slaughter
That's right, slaughter.
The hundreds of men in black robes in the valley were like papier-mâché in front of Hannah. Hannah first slashed at the mustache's neck with one hand, and slashed the mustache's head with a knife. Then he spread his wings and rushed towards the others.
Although it was daytime, Count Hannah's combat power was not at all something that these little minions could resist. I saw her rushing left and right, setting off a rain of blood in the crowd. She didn't need any weapons, because any weapon was the same under her hands as if it weren't there.
Among the hundreds of black-robed people used hand crossbows, but the hand crossbows could not aim at Hannah at all, and some used shields, but Hannah directly tore open the three-layer British battle shield with both hands. Even the people hiding behind the shield were torn in half along with the shield, and those warriors who were not afraid of death and charged directly at Hannah were directly scratched by Hannah's head.
The rest were cowardly, throwing away their weapons and screaming and running away. It's just a pity that these mortals don't know anything about speed at all. Just as they turned their backs to Hannah, Hannah pierced straight behind them. In the end, these people who wanted to escape were all torn in half by Hannah from behind.
In the valley, internal organs and blood are flying all over the sky, and it is already the Shura field projected into the world.
Hannah glanced around, and after confirming that there was no living mouth, she sat in the sea of corpses and blood, waiting...
