Chapter 029: Alleyne
Alleyne fell into the darkness with a smoky house in front of him, and a man on a black horse wielded a white-bladed sword with an Eastern helmet. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Raised and fell, and the usual cook uncle was cut off half of his shoulder.
The warriors of the village mounted their horses and rushed towards the black-armored knights with scimitars in hand, but the shadows of their bows and arrows shot them off their horses one after another. Young Alleyne cowered and hid behind his father's back, watching it all.
The knights on the black horses took a yellow paper tube-like thing from their waists, lit it, and threw it. The explosion was heard, his usual playmate was blown blind in one eye, and Aunt Mary's belly was blown open, and the intestines inside flowed to the ground.
Suddenly, the yellow smoke filled the air, the people of the village became dizzy, and a carriage began to run, while the groom driving was shot through the head by an arrow.
The fire seemed to be burning, burning his eyelids. Aryne snapped his eyes open, and the Calradian sun baked his head through the rudimentary earthen window. The palms of his hands were covered with sweat, and his right hand also grasped the handle of the Dongfang long knife in a haze.
It's a memory he's lost for a long time, and now he's back, but he's not the boy he used to be. The mercenaries give him experience, give him strength, give him gold, tell him not to believe in any false gods, and at the same time give him courage.
Alleyne shook the beads of sweat off his hands and tucked the knife behind his back. A handful of mercenaries got up and stood guard by the carriage with the golden minions.
Roman leaned against his ox-cart, unhooked the string of the crossbow once more, and hung the crossbow on the cart. The merchant was sharpening his feathered sword. Parker took advantage of the morning sun to admire the cork shield and smiled as Alleyne walked out of the house.
Alleyne looked at the other party's smile, as if remembering something, and he turned to go to the room where Victor slept last night.
At this moment, Victor was connecting his belt to the scabbard when he heard the sound of someone coming in, and asked without looking back, "What's the matter?"
Parker wanted to go home, and he was ready to quit after completing this mission. Alleyne pulled a whetstone from his opponent's waist and gently brushed his tomahawk.
Victor, fastening the hilt of his sword, reached out and snatched the stone from Aren's hand, turned and pushed the door open. "Another vulture is moving away from the corpses of war, and that's good news. ”
The mercenaries are also known as vultures. Because the mercenaries do not sing for the deceased, and take away everything useful from the deceased, the people are deeply disgusted with this.
After a brief breakfast, the caravan set off quickly. The horses' hooves trodden over the dew-stained grass, and the heavy wagons crushed the soft earth and the grass into two deep furrows.
Feeling compelled to explain to Jamila, Alleyn rode up to Roman's ox cart. The only three ladies in the line were sitting on it. Seeing Aryn approaching, Jamila turned her head away.
"Would you like to ride a horse?" Alleyne invited with a smile. "I can take you on a ride. ”
"I'll ride a horse!" replied Jamila tepidly.
"But you're not a good ride, I can teach you some tricks. "She's still angry about what happened yesterday. Alleyne thought to himself.
"You go teach the other girls, and the girl named Sally will be glad to do it. Jamila then said loudly. "If I want to learn to ride a horse, I'll let Mo Mo Cha teach me, he is better than a good horse. ”
Alleyne undeniably has better riding skills than him. But he knew that Jamila was deliberately angry with him when he said this. "Jamila listens to me," he said bitterly. "Things are not what you think. ”
At this time, Mo Mo Cha at the front of the team turned his horse's head, rode his horse, and rode on the other side of the ox cart. "Oh, beautiful princess, was you calling me by name?" and then he smiled slyly at Elleon.
Jamila deliberately said in front of Ellene: "Momaocha, can you teach me to ride a horse?"
"Of course, beautiful lady. Momo Tea laughed twice and replied. "However, I think it would be more appropriate for our noble young master to teach you how to ride a horse. The horse thief said with a lewd expression: "The beautiful princess and the noble young master, oh! What a match!"
"You...... I'm going to tear your stinky mouth apart. Jamila's face turned pale and turned red.
"Let me finish my sentence first, and then tear my mouth apart!"
"What else do you want to say, if you dare to talk nonsense, I'll ......," Jamila warned him. "I'll let you pay it back. She really couldn't think of a way to threaten the other party.
In the entire team of the spear mercenary group, except for the scared Cress and the dime-defatred Resarit, Momocha owes almost all the mercenaries in the team. It's just that the amount is more or less. Alleyne was his biggest creditor.
"The new lad had taken a liking to a girl in the city of Djerkhara, and he had mistaken for a liking for the girl named Sally. But I know that it is the girl who has a crush on Ellen, and our noble young master has already pretended to be ...... Others. ”
"I can testify. Roman, who was driving the ox cart, turned around and said seriously.
"Proof of what?" Jamila blurted out.
"Of course, it proves that the girl does like Ellen more, just like some people," Mocha teased with a laugh. "Who made our noble young master so attractive!"
Jamila tilted her head to look at Alleyne on horseback, and smiled charmingly at the other. "Can you help me get rid of this pesky guy?"
Knowing from Jamila's smile that she was no longer angry, Alleyne glanced at Momocha on the other side, and the two of them drove together towards the front of the group.
In fact, in the army, especially for mercenaries like them, women are the only topic of discussion for mercenaries besides money and fighting. It's just that someone is so sensitive to this aspect that people don't usually dare to talk about it.
Victor's wife, in fact, is just his fiancée.
On the night of their marriage, an army of Swadians, posing as a gang of robbers, ransacked their village and took all the women captive, including his soon-to-be fiancée. But Vidocq knew that they were not robbers, but a group of Swadian knights.
Victor was stabbed in the body by a sharp sword and fainted. But he narrowly escaped and was saved by Alleyne's father and his future comrades, Hantus and Tormond. But they couldn't stop the Swadia knights from leaving.
He remembered the coat of arms carved on the other man's sword, a coat of arms that only nobles could have. He had tried to reclaim his wife from the other party, but the other party was Baron Simon Perlagher, a nobleman of the Swadia kingdom and lord of [Alib].
In order to regain his wife, Victor became a Virgian soldier and participated in the famous Battle of the Guards. In order to gain status and honor, he even stole the title of hero that originally belonged to Hantus. Although he later told the truth to the king.
And all he did was to be able to take back his wife from Baron Perlagher. The original idea of forming this mercenary team was only for his selfish desires. That day may not be too far away. Alleyne thought to himself.
Shortly after the caravan left, the peasants of the village were turning over the earth, the mill was working, and a troop of cavalry reached the entrance to the village. The leader had a white cloth wrapped around his shoulder, the wound was no longer serious, and he was holding a mercenary letter in his hand, looking around nervously.
The village chief walked up to the burly man tremblingly and asked carefully, "Are you looking for someone?"
The man holding the mercenary book in his hand looked at the old man in front of him, opened the mercenary book and browsed it. "Thank you, has a team of mercenaries passed by here lately?"
The village chief nodded slightly, looking at the dozens of riders in front of him suspiciously. He had a hunch that these people were not well-wishers who rode horses to return the lost wallet to the owner.
The man closed the mercenary and turned to mount his horse, and one of the riders beside him asked in a low voice, "Where are we going, Chief Frith?"
The leader of the Assassins, Fritt, clipped his horse's belly and put away the mercenary book. "They're almost in Viruga, let's go. ”
Dozens of riders galloped across the village, seemingly beating a jumble of war drums, swords neatly tied around the riders' waists.
After the riders left, the children of the village surrounded the village chief. "Grandpa the village chief," said one of the children, patting his muddy clothes, to the old chief. "Why don't you ask him for news?"
The old man turned his head sharply. "Do you know who they are? The man's name is Fleet!"
The children were frightened away by the old man's sudden anger, and the village chief slowly walked to his door, and the smile of the young mercenary who had boarded in his house last night with a wooden carving in his hand still appeared in front of him. The old man clasped his hands and prayed silently.
"Merciful Goddess of the Forest, please bless the poor ones from the Svadia Assassins. ”
Far outside the village, a shout suddenly came from the village. "Found their carriage print!"
The old man closed his eyes tightly and prayed quietly. "Good luck to them. The old man's fingers trembled slightly. (To be continued.) )
