Section 3 Ambush

In the study, Gray no longer had to disguise, he tore off the leather armor and leather pants on his body, stretched out his left arm, and grabbed the saber that fell to the ground with the leather armor. www.biquge.info With the swing of Gray's arm, the cold light on the blade flickered, and the sound of the iron striking was even more continuous.

Gray needs to vent, and what his eyes can see in the study has become his target for venting, and the sulk in his heart makes him uncomfortable, and in this study is the only place where he is qualified to be crazy, and the only place where he dares to go crazy.

He had been crazy for a while, perhaps tired, but Gray stopped his movements, and then with a 'poof', he spurted out a mouthful of blood! His brown hair was a little disheveled, and he sat on the ground, and there was still a trace of blood on the collar of his gray linen jacket, and he looked a little embarrassed.

He stared at the mouthful of blood he spit out for a moment, looking a little distracted, then glanced at the somewhat messy study, took a few deep breaths, grabbed the scabbard on the ground, put the sword back into the sheath, and then turned around and left the study and walked into the bedroom.

With his sword in his hand, he put his sword on the head of the bed, and Gray fell asleep.

Downstairs, Mrs. Wren listened to the movement upstairs, and knew that Gray had returned to the bedroom, so she led her brother upstairs and opened the door of the study, although the light in the study was very good, but it seemed a little dim at the moment. The two sisters and brothers looked at the mess in the study, did not speak, and silently took the cleaning tools brought by Wren and cleaned them carefully.

――――

Gray must have been exhausted, he had slept for a long time, no one had come to wake him today, and by the time he woke up in a daze, the sunlight from the bedroom window was already very abundant.

Suddenly startled, Gray immediately straightened up, knowing that a knight is equivalent to a professional soldier, a middle-level commander of the army. Fight for their allegiance lords at all times, and fight to protect the common civilians within their realms. So, their lives are not going to be very free, and they have to train every morning.

"It's late, and it's been a long time!" was Gray's first reaction, and his status as an illegitimate child had taught him that he couldn't make a single mistake in Aaronburg, even if he was late, a mistake anyone would make.

But then, as if he remembered something, Gray was stunned, smiled bitterly in his heart, and lifted the quilt that he didn't know when.

......

In the dining room, Gray drank wheat porridge and chewed sausages, and the Gunde siblings did not leave, and of course Wren did not leave. Feeling the breath of the three people behind him, Gray's mood was much better.

The strong brown steed in the stables was Gray's personal belongings and could be ridden away, the two pairs of light chain mail were personal belongings to be taken away, and the heavy cavalry armor belonged to the Baron's Guard and was to be returned. Two pairs of light bows and a few pots of arrows can be taken away, while heavy crossbows and a box of crossbow arrows must be returned......

Gray and his attendants, as well as two servants, were packing their luggage, while the castle official who had urged the small building came again, and Gray was very happy to complete the formalities, this man was a cousin of Madame de Lagley, a middle-aged man, Gray had some impressions, as if his name was Hal, an ordinary tax collector.

On this day, it was October 20, 1208 in the continental calendar, and the weather on this day was quite good, and the sun's rays in late autumn were very warm, which was very suitable for hurrying, and Gray left Aaron Town with his three loyal servants, leaving the place where he had lived since childhood, and leaving his hometown.

In the continent of Alan, the roads between human towns are not safe, and out of the towns, there are herds of wild beasts and bandits. But don't worry too much, the average bandit is also a maximum of three or five people, and they are very disunited, often fighting and killing people because of the uneven distribution of spoils.

The bandit group of the brigade, this kind of force that can threaten the rule of the aristocratic class, will not appear at all, and once it appears, it will be immediately nipped in the bud, and the bloody lessons of history will not make any nobles slack off in the slightest.

After a period of hurrying, Gray and his party were far away from Aarenburg, there was no farmland and pasture on both sides of the road, it was a completely barren scene, Gray was covered with a layer of chain mail on the outside, the chain mail was wrapped along with the neck, head, thighs and arms, the helmet was black and shiny, the heart goggles on his chest flashed in the sunlight, he was on his horse, and the horse walked very slowly.

Behind Gray was a two-wheeled carriage, which was surrounded by several shields on both sides, the leather roof swayed back and forth in the rolling of the carriage, the wooden tires were 'crunching', and the horses pulling the carriage were a little old, but still a little stronger.

Wren and his wife sat in the carriage, Gonde carried a giant sword on his back, and walked at the back with a large shield in his hand, chatting with his sister and brother-in-law in the carriage, and his eyes looked vigilantly from time to time.

The sky was getting a little darker, and there were no other pedestrians on the road at all.

Suddenly, several figures appeared in Gray's field of vision, and they were walking towards Gray, Gray's eyesight was very good, and it was the tax collector Hal who had come to take the lead, a cousin of the Baroness de Laglai.

Although they are familiar people, but at this time and place, Gray did not dare to have the slightest slackness, he carefully reminded him, Gang De hurriedly ran to Gray's side, Wren also stopped the carriage, turned into the inner car, the two of them bowed, drew their short swords, and hid behind the shields on both sides of the carriage.

Gray also made the horse stop, he didn't dare to go any further, if he walked into their encirclement, it was not a joke, maybe they had already entered the encirclement of these people at this moment.

Upon closer inspection, Gray was sure that the group was directed at his own party, for the swords of the tax collector, the cousin of the Baroness of Nalagley, named Howl, had been unsheathed!

"Gangde, go protect your sister, I'll deal with the people in front!" Gray said calmly.

"No, these two can't help us husband and wife!" replied Mrs. Wren at once.

When Gray heard this, he glanced at the carriage out of the corner of his eye, and he didn't bother to ask, and he didn't have time to care about it.

Because, he found that there were actually two guys with crossbows in front of him, the crossbow machine had been pulled at this moment, the crossbow arrows had been loaded, and a chill from the soles of Gray's feet rose straight to the top of his head, fortunately, those people on the other side were a little supportive, and they did not aim immediately, but carried them in their hands!

Gray made the decision to strike first, and years of training were now useful, grabbing the light bow from the saddle with his left hand and holding an arrow with his right, only to hear a 'whoosh' as an arrow nailed to the throat of a crossbow archer.

But then there was another 'whoosh', and a crossbow arrow flashed past Gray's cheek, startling Gray in a cold sweat, it turned out that the crossbowman habitually raised his hand and pressed the trigger when he was dying.

Gray's eyes narrowed, and he saw that the other crossbowmen had raised their hands, and quickly leaned down, and another crossbow arrow flew just right past his back, and a spark sparked on the chain mail on his back.

Gray didn't want to pull out the sword and clamp the horse's belly, the war horse immediately galloped, and the crossbowman on the opposite side looked at Gray who was getting closer and closer, so he could only throw away the crossbow in his hand and pull out the sword. Although the crossbow is easy to aim and has great lethality, it is very slow to reload.

The speed of the war horse was strange, and after only a few blinks of his eyes, he rushed into the crowd, and none of these people dared to stop the rapidly rushing war horse, and hurriedly flashed to the side. Seeing this, Gray sneered in his heart, his right hand clenched the hilt of the sword, the sword dragged to the side, and the cold light of the blade flashed, only to hear a 'poof', a touch of bright red sprinkled on the ground.

I saw that one of those unlucky people had his entire chest cut off in half, fell to the ground and lost his life after a few convulsions.

Killing two people in a row, plus riding a horse for a distance, Gray felt an indescribable joy in his heart, and with a flick of the sword in his hand, the blood on the sword spilled on the ground, and he immediately turned his horse's head, ready to kill him a few more people.
