There were more than 60 people who were seriously and lightly injured, and only about 10 people were able to walk. www.biquge.info In other words, in other words, a fierce battle, I lost more than half of my followers.

I frowned in distress, for me, who was trying to win hearts and minds, such a loss was simply unacceptable.

All the wounded were seated in wagons or carried by two villagers, following the cavalry. Our route is eastward to Tosdel and then directly north, through the Central Ranch to Hallengosburg.

I'm almost certain that the Earl of Harongoth in Harongosburg was 100% bribed by the Overseers, so that he was able to shelter this lone army of a thousand while the Swadian army scattered around us.

I subconsciously remembered what Old G said to me when I was in Zenda, that many lords of Nord were secretly bought by the Dark Order, and this Count Harongoth must not be exempt from vulgarity.

The power of money is so great, I wonder if the Dark Order had more money, maybe the entire continent of Calradia would have been conquered by them. Or not necessarily, bribes, in addition to money, there are also beautiful women......

I was so distracted, when suddenly a war horse slowly slowed down in front of me, and it was the bearded officer, who walked beside me.

I said hello politely. The bearded officer smiled, lifted his iron mask, and said, "Emmons?"

I nodded.

The bearded man said, "I've admired the name for a long time." ”

I knew he was talking about the big names on the bounty list, and I smiled helplessly.

The bearded man said, "Actually, the Overseer is quite optimistic about you, he is always very strict with the seedlings he values, and he is always very heavy on his words. ”

I let out an "oh".

The bearded man said, "Actually, you fought this battle beautifully. We suffered a big loss this time, basically every squadron has losses, and there are not a few who have broken up, and we have come all the way from Harlan Gosburg, just to collect the rout. But it's the first time I've seen such a fight. One hundred and fifteen against six hundred, it can last so long, killing more than half of the enemy, it's amazing!"

I smiled and said, "If those bandits were against you, I guess it would be easy for you to deal with it." ”

The bearded man grinned and said with a smile: "Of course, we are all old soldiers, and these bandits are not all snacks." ”

The corners of my mouth twitched, I was really immodest.

The bearded man looked at the girl Aimilin who was cleaning the wounds of the wounded soldiers by the stretcher, and suddenly licked his lips and said, "Which one do you like?"

Me: "?"

The bearded man pouted at a graceful girl in front of him: "This is very good, are you interested?"

I immediately understood what the bearded man was talking about, and frowned in disgust.

The bearded man didn't seem to see my expression, and his eyes shot with urgent desire: "It seems that your taste is quite high, that's okay, just give me this." With that, he patted his horse and caught up with the girl.

Then I saw the maiden struggle in vain, and he picked her up and put her in the saddle, and then he struck the horse's belly, and the horse ran to the grass that was half a man's height beside it. The girl's pleading voice was heard far away.

I noticed that a few of the young villagers who loved Milin had crazy anger in their eyes, and they even wanted to throw down their stretchers and pounce on them.

I immediately remembered Buyoun, that cruel snowy night.

I raised my whip and caught up with the bearded, and I said, "Let her go!"

The bearded man was stunned, he had just torn the girl's lake-blue dress open, revealing a pair of smooth and slender legs underneath. He looked at me, then at the girl below him, and suddenly showed a wicked smile: "Have you changed your mind again?" ”

I was a little angry, and I said, "There are so many people watching, do you want to force them to stab my wounded person with a knife, let her go immediately!"

The bearded man stalked his neck and said, "They dare, destroy these rabbit cubs!"

I said coldly: "Destroy them, you will carry the wounded?"

The bearded man was speechless for a moment, looked at the girl who was trembling with fear under him, and then looked at the team that had stopped in the distance, got up with a curse, and spat on the girl's bare thighs: "What a disappointment!"

With that, he stepped on his horse, ran back to the group, and whipped the gloomy villagers with a whip.

I glanced at the girl, then at the crazy bearded man in the distance, and turned to run towards him.

The moment I left, I heard the girl's faint voice: "Thank you!"

When the girl returned to the group, the bearded man's anger seemed to have subsided a lot, and she walked alone at the front of the group, no longer looking at the back.

The girl's skirt was torn, revealing her snow-white thighs, and she covered the broken skirt with her hands as she walked, her expression was very helpless. I looked at her with a bitter face, then at the gloomy villagers around me, took off the gray cloak on her body and threw it to her: "Put it on." ”

The girl lowered her head and silently put on the gray cloak, looking no different from an ordinary cultist. Among the surrounding villagers, a teenager threw a grateful glance at me.

By evening, the bearded man ordered to set up camp, the wounded were placed in the center of the camp, the black knights were stationed in the outer ring of the wounded, and the villagers lived in the outermost ring. The Black Knights had their own sleeping bags and small tents on their horses, which they gave up to the wounded and slept in sleeping bags on their own. The villagers in the outer circle are more pitiful, the evening breeze in Calradia in March is still very cold, and in the early morning, the dew is heavy, and many people are shivering from the cold.

I didn't sleep, I didn't need to sleep in the first place, so I just made a night patrol in the camp. When I went to the outer circle of the camp, I saw the villagers hugging each other in the cold, talking in their dreams and grinding their teeth. I smiled and turned to the other side, where all the girls were asleep.

In the center of them, there was a group of figures entangled, I looked closely, it was two gray cloaks and a girl, the girl's mouth was covered tightly, her hands were firmly grasped, her body kept struggling and twisting, and from time to time she made a desperate "whining" sound.

In the firelight, I saw the face, it was the girl in the daytime. The gray cloak on his body had obviously not been able to subdue her, and he was exhausted and panting, just groping around, not getting to the point.

I rushed up and kicked the gray cloak off with one kick, and then with a backhand palm, I pulled the gray cloak that was holding the girl's arm to pieces.

"I X ......" The kicked ash cloak struggled to get up, pulled out the steel hoe from his waist, and before he could make a move, he saw my face, and suddenly his momentum softened.

I widened my eyes and asked, "What are you doing here?"

The gray cloak looked at the disheveled girl behind me, then at me, but did not speak. The other gray cloak, which had been slapped several times, only then did he get up groggily and walk crookedly.

I said, "Get out!" and the voice was low, but deep, and hit their eardrums, and the eyes of the two men widened at once.

They lost their sense of hearing.

The sound of silence

I looked at the girl in my arms, and when the two guys crawled back with a roll just now, she was relieved and fainted in my arms.

I don't know why, but when I saw her, I felt a desire to protect. From the bearded man during the day, just from the hands of those two guys. Now I see her sleeping in my arms with her head tilted, as if she is sleeping very deeply and at ease, and I can't help but throb in my heart.

I think of Catherine, that snowy night, who left this world in my arms after a great deal of humiliation and despair. Now I hold this sleeping girl in my arms, as if I were holding Catherine. It occurred to me that if I had had the strength I have now, perhaps Catherine would not have been so desolate.

I picked up my gray cloak from the ground, wrapped it around the girl's body, straightened the curly blonde hair around her cheeks, and kissed her cheek. He sat down cross-legged beside her.

As long as I'm here, no one can hurt you.

It was dawning soon.
