Chapter 147: Something in the Dark

"Why don't we ride your unicorn? Looks like it's supposed to be fast. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Sakya asked as he rode on a pack horse.

I gently stroked Fatima's hair on the unicorn and said calmly, "Because I want her to go more smoothly." โ€

Sakya stopped talking, but it seemed clear that he thought I was incorrigible.

I don't pay attention to him, I don't give orders to the unicorn, I just let it lead us out with its own wisdom. I put my arms around Fatima, and my heart was as calm as ashes. According to the Salander custom of Fatima, I should bury her on the spot immediately after her death, but there were Swadia soldiers everywhere, and I really didn't feel comfortable leaving her body there.

I still want to find a quiet and remote place, preferably a small valley where no one can live, and bury her well.

"Where are we going now?" said Sakya, taking a sip of water, "what if you run around the steppe, what if you run into those horse bandits?"

I sneered: "Are you still afraid of running into those horse bandits? Also, you have been locked in that box all this time, and you may not know the situation outside." Now, instead of worrying about the horse bandits, you should take a moment to worry about the elite main force of your missing fifteenth brigade, and the eighty-thousand-strong and nearly ninety-thousand-strong army that is surrounding us. It doesn't matter if you're a Sakya, but if you're an overseer, hum ......"

Sakya didn't hear it clearly for a moment, and he asked inexplicably, "What? What is the matter with the 15th Brigade? Ah, you mean ......?"

I nodded: "That's right, during the time you were kidnapped, Garnif gave me the 15th Brigade of Lao Zi Soldiers, who should belong to you, and asked me to lead them to find you. Things went smoothly until yesterday, when they suddenly disappeared from the camp, and nearly two thousand people disappeared mysteriously. โ€

"Wait......" Sakya's face turned ugly, "You say, to find me, Lao Zi Soldiers? And, nearly two thousand?"

I nodded.

Sakya jumped wildly and punched me in the face in a rage, but the unicorn jumped backwards and dodged, and Sakya fell heavily to the ground.

But before he could get up, he slammed the ground and roared at me with a flushed face: "What have you done! That's 4,500 old soldiers, enough to kill more than 10,000 regular troops of any country, and you actually used them until there are only 2,000 left! And all of them are missing! Do you know what a painful loss this is? Even the church headquarters will take a whole year to recover! They are the foundation and basis of all my footholds! You squander them so extravagantly, you will go to the church court!

The corners of my mouth twitched slightly, and I continued to say calmly: " I used your 4,500 men to destroy Claes's 8,000 field legions, including 1,000 Swadia Royal Knights, defeated Paravon, annihilated 10,000 defenders and 12,000 palace guards, and burned it, defeated St. Ruz Goddaburg, annihilated the 8,000 garrison of Count Peragher in one fell swoop, beheaded Count Perlagher, provoked Harungosburg to become independent, destroyed more than half of the Knights of the Blood Rose, and by the hand of the old G, eliminated the unstable factor of Harungoth and put him on the opposite side of Svadia, and provoked Nabal to attack St. Ruz Goddaburg, which should have been defeated by now, at least destroyed the garrison of Rhodok of 5,000 to more than 10,000, and I also easily destroyed a rising general of the Rhodok Empire, Ala Stuart, destroyed the Rhodok 10,000 field legions, and deepened the irresolvable hatred between them and the Svadia Empire for hundreds of years, laying the foundation for the future landing of the Order in Calradia. Now that he has killed Guanxi Chen, and turned the Knights of Glory into a plate of scattered sand, you say, can I be sent to the Order's court with what I have done with these 4,500 people?"

Sakya was stupid, completely stupid, and sat on the ground looking at me for a long time before he muttered, "You, what are you doing all this for?"

I smiled, "To save you." โ€

โ€œ...... Liar!" Sakya was stunned and scolded through gritted teeth.

I smiled lightly again, "Yes, just to save you, but not to save you from Urel or the Knights of Glory, but to save you from the sloppy, bullied past, from the ranks of the poor middle class of the Dark Order and even Calradia." I'm going to help you reach the top of the Dark Order, and even Calradia, and I'm going to help you get what is rightfully yours. โ€

Sakya looked at me in a daze, and suddenly said with a solemn voice: "You will never do these things for no reason, you must have some purpose, right? is to put me on the stage to be your puppet, and to be manipulated by you behind the scenes for the rest of my life?"

I gently stroked Fatima's hair and said calmly, "Sometimes, knowing too much is not a good thing. You have the blood of the Holy King and the Holy Maiden, and you should have enough high status and power in both the Light Alliance and the Dark Order, but it is a waste that you are now without any wisdom or courage...... I'll help you get what you deserve, and you won't have to worry about anything else. My dreams, my purpose, and you can't tell you clearly. โ€

Sakya lowered her head and dug her hands into the dirt for five or six seconds.

I'm getting a little impatient.

Sakya finally raised his head slowly: "So you destroyed my fifteenth brigade just to cut off my back road, so that I can no longer have other reliance, if you want to get ahead, you can only listen to you and fall to you?" Emmons, you are really powerful...... It's amazing!"

I smiled, "It's nothing, it's just a triumph." But if you think that I can't leave you, then you are very wrong, I, Emmons, have not relied on anyone to get to this day, and without you, I will only spend some more effort at most. But your loss is irreparable. โ€

Sakya almost bit her lips, and finally looked up with a wry smile as if she had given up completely: "Now that I have no other choice, what do you want me to do?"

I nodded: "That's wise." First of all, I want you to send a message to Nabal, telling him that the reason why you were kidnapped was completely manipulated by the Rhodoks behind the scenes, and now that you are out of danger and have learned a lot of inside information, you will tell him in detail when you return to the Nest and tell him that the Rhodoks around him are not good things. โ€

Sakya nodded without hesitation: "Next?"

"Secondly, I want you to go to Old G and tell him that I destroyed the Knights of Glory and killed Guanxi Chen, and now that I am going to Uxhall, I will follow if I have the courage. I said calmly.

Sakya was stunned again, and after a long moment, he frowned and said, "You are crazy, you are trying to establish your authority, I understand, but what if he really chases you?"

I laughed, "That's the third thing I want you to do...... I want you to hurry up and give five million dinars to Count Arassis of Chanda, and at least ten thousand sets of fine armor and weapons, which should not be difficult for you. Then, in Chanda, he spread rumors that Lao G had suffered a defeat and was defeated by Haraus with the strength of the whole country. I'll make this rumor seem credible. โ€

"And then?" Sakya looked at me blankly.

"And then?" I took a deep breath, "and then, the greed and evil heat of man will bring the deepest darkness and blood to Dhyแน‡a." โ€

Sakya shuddered.

I nodded, and looked at the Glorious Knights' camp far behind me, where a raging fire had been burned, and the chaotic voices had been heard all the way here, and the first rays of morning dawn had shone on me through the scarlet wolf smoke.

I raised my left hand lightly and pointed to the northwest, "Now, you go, the Knights of Glory will not have the heart to chase you for the time being." Go northwest, go to Parabun, where should the old G be. Go for it, it's your first step to the top. โ€

"That'...... What about you?" Sakya looked at me.

I wiped the blood from my face and said, "I, I'll bury Fatima, and I'll go and destroy the Knights of Glory." If possible, destroy the heroic fighters by the way. Then I'll get back your fifteenth brigade and go destroy Svadia together. Don't worry, you will do the things on the bright side, and I will do the things in the dark. โ€

When the Sakya disappeared from my sight, I closed my eyes, and the unicorn immediately carried us, speeding up the green grasslands of the southern pastures, blue sky, white clouds, speeding away behind my head, this beautiful scenery, Fatima could not see.

I attacked a caravan, and under the assault of muskets, Anduriels, and unicorns, who were completely defenseless, I took a horse of linen and a horse of scarlet velvet from their cargo, and continued south.

I stopped in a valley basin in the Uruzdak Mountains, south of the midpoint of Tezburdine and Elindaha, in the southern part of the southern pastures, which was deserted on all sides, surrounded on all sides by steep cliffs, but in the middle was a basin of several square miles, with waterfalls cascading down a mountain wall to make the basin beautiful and isolated from the rest of the world. If I hadn't relied on the unicorn's advantage of climbing mountains and wading through water, I wouldn't have found this place.

I dug a pit in the most beautiful part of the flat land, and wrapped Fatima carefully with the stolen linen, her face was so vivid that she showed no sign of death, but her body was cold, and I knew that she would never return.

I kissed her lightly on the lips, slowly lowered her down, and then slowly covered the dirt. The unicorn has been watching from my side, with a mournful cry or two from time to time.

After doing all this, there was a sudden roar in the sky, and my heart moved, and I slowly beckoned upward, and a lightning-like gray shadow swooped down and landed on the hilt of Anduriel's sword.

In an instant, fragments of shattered memories poured into my mind, and the terrain and people within a radius of dozens of miles in the vicinity all entered my mind clearly.

It was Fatima's night stalker, and at this moment, it had returned from its mission, but its owner had left forever.

Now, it kept chirping at me, as if to get her master back, and I could only look it in the eye and say over and over again: "Fatima is dead, Fatima is dead, killed by the Swadiaans......"

I'm numb.

It hung its head and stood listlessly on the hilt of the sword, and for a long time, suddenly a cold light flashed in its eyes, fluttered a few times, and landed on my shoulder.

I immediately understood what it meant: "You want me to avenge her, right? Okay, I'm going to avenge her now...... Night owl, from now on, stay with me. โ€

The night owl pecked at its feathers without making a sound.

I stepped onto the unicorn and scurried like arrows towards the Knights of Glory.

The unicorn was fast, five or six times faster than an ordinary horse, and when I arrived at the Knights of Glory camp, the time had only passed for a little more than an hour, and the chaos caused by last night's raid had not yet subsided, and there were still many soldiers making noise, and some gendarmerie knights were brandishing long swords in an attempt to restore order.

"Since it's messy, there's no need to recover. I said coldly, and the next moment, the unicorn was already carrying me, and crashed into the camp like a bolt of lightning.

Fast horses, sharp blades, surprise attacks, what could be more harmful than these in the midst of chaos?

I swept behind one of the gendarmerie knights, and before he could turn around, he was slashed in half by Anduriel's sword, and I didn't need to exert much effort at all, just lightly carried it, and everything that came into contact with Anduriel was automatically split into two.

The rain of blood spurted more wildness and fear, and there were already gendarmerie knights swinging their swords to slash the noisy soldiers, and the soldiers who were slashed by the gendarmerie knights turned their faces with even greater ferocity, and they also grabbed their spears and crossbows in their hands and began to return fire.

I had slightningly burrowed into the tent on the other side, pulled out Molotov cocktails, and threw them into the crowd.

Almost at the same time, I was spotted by another group of gendarmerie knights, who shouted and pounced on their horses.

The Glory Knights who lost Guanxi Chen, although there was a trace of chaos, did not collapse immediately, and their combat effectiveness was still not to be underestimated.

I turned my head, aimed at the approaching gendarmerie knight dozens of paces away, and fired two shots, and when the fire and black smoke bastard rose, the unicorn was already one step ahead
