Chapter Ninety-Three: Blocking the Road and Robbing and Killing

"My lord, what are you guarding against?" said Bérunek, who was leaning on the back seat of the open-wheeled carriage.

Bidding farewell to the four families who had been warmly sent off by Kitano Town, as soon as the carriage was out of the field of vision of Kitano Town, Lorist ordered Sedecamp to slow down, threw a shield at Sedecamp, and told him to be careful. Then he took a shield and put it on Bérunek's body, picked up a few throwing guns and put them in a convenient position, and waited for them.

"Alas, it's good to come out with Pat this time, Sedekamp, I've forced you to cultivate your fighting spirit like this, you have only only now risen to the Black Iron Rank, and it will not be useful at all. Lorist complained.

Sedecamp shouted: "But my lord, you just said last time that I am suitable for holding a pen and not for winning a fight, why do you say that I am useless this time!"

Lorist said: "Even if you hold a pen, you should learn from Knight Schreed, he is no worse than you when he holds a pen, but he is still three stars of silver, and he can be promoted to the gold rank in two years." ”

"My lord, how can you compare me with Lord Schreed, am I comparable? He is a prime minister, and I can only get a manor castle at most. "Süderkamp is very self-aware.

Béruñek was tightly wrapped in the back seat and covered with a large shield. Seeing that the master and servant were arguing as if they were facing a great enemy, they couldn't help but ask.

"Well, Brother Baker, aren't you surprised? I didn't let you drink the potion that Master Dumbassen refined for you, and you haven't felt any discomfort in your body until now, and you can't move your body easily, lest your internal organs shift and displace it's all. You've been blinded by that Dunbason master for two whole years. He gave you the poison of Qi Dispersion, so that you could not cultivate Dou Qi to recover your body, and you were like being placed under house arrest by them in Kitano Town. Lorist said.

"Cough, cough, cough......" There was a violent cough, and after listening to Lorliste's words, Berunik opened his mouth to say something, but was choked by the cold wind blowing in front of him.

Lorist reached out and straightened out Béruñek's scarf, and patted him on the back to make him comfortable: "Don't talk, Brother Baker, I know what you're trying to say, why they're doing that." Sødercamp, you can tell us about the recent situation of the family, which is the changes in the past three years since Big Brother Baker was injured. ”

Sedcamp agreed, and talked about how the lord died in battle, how the garrison refused to obey orders, how Viscount Kenmez deceived the door, and how he and Pat went to the city of Moriente to find Lorist to come back to inherit the title and family domain. As for Lorlist's organization of the convoy to go north, Surekamp didn't have time to say, first, because there was no time, and second, the object that Lorist was waiting for and guarding against had already appeared in sight.

Six horsemen flashed out of the woods in front of them, their faces covered with black cloths, and their crossbows in their hands.

"Sødkamp, scatter, stop, get in the back seat to cover yourself and Big Brother Baker. Lorist said.

Hearing this, Sedkamp grabbed the horse, and first inserted the pointed lever of the car parked next to the driver's seat into the ground, and secured the two-wheeled carriage. Then untie the reins of the two horses pulling the cart so that the horses do not become frightened or traumatized and cause the carriage to overturn. Sedecamp then rolled over and leaped into the back seat, shielding Beruniek, who was stuffed by Lorist, in the empty seat under the seat, and himself.

Lorist had jumped on the back of a horse pulling a cart while he was unreining it, and with his feet in the belly of the horse, he rushed straight to the next horse, holding the reins in one hand and brandishing his throwing spear in the other, and unleashed an oncoming crossbow arrow.

Except for Lorist, who was on the far left, the other five were focused on the carriage, and for a moment the crossbow arrows flew out, and a dozen or so arrows were inserted into the shields covering the carriage and the back seat.

Lorist had already blocked two bolts in quick succession, and he was getting closer and closer to the enemy on the other side. Seeing that the crossbow arrows were useless, the rider on the opposite side snorted coldly and put away the crossbow arrows, pulled out his long sword and rode his horse to meet him. The sword flashed, and the rider on the opposite side turned out to be a silver rank, but what made Lorist curious was that the sword on the opposite side seemed to be not very stable, and it flickered for a long time and a short time.

The two horses were about to pass each other, and the opposite rider raised his sword and slashed head-on. Lorist used the throwing spear as a riding spear, and with a slight stroke, he blocked the slashing long sword, and just when the opposite rider was surprised by the seemingly ordinary throwing of the spear from the sword slash, the tip of the throwing spear had sunk into his throat...

With a single kick, Lorist kicked the dead rider off his horse, leaped from horse to horse, and nimbly transferred himself from his bareback cart to his saddle-mounted mount.

Seeing that the crossbow arrows were ineffective, the five horsemen were riding their horses close to the carriage, and the first rider had reached the front of the carriage, and the rider had drawn his sword. Just then, a throwing spear flew up, sending the rider off his mount and over the carriage. The rider, who had been shot through the chest, struggled only twice before dying.

The remaining four riders were startled, and turned their heads to see that it was Lorist coming from the side. The first horse at the head was furious, pointed at Lorist and shouted: "Cut him first......"

The long swords of three of the four horsemen lit up, and Lorist was undaunted and drew his sword to hedge......

In the blink of an eye, Lorist had already rushed past the four horsemen, and the moment the five horsemen met, the sword light was like lightning, and the wind and thunder were loud.

Lorist turned his horse's head, and three of the four riders shook their horses, and then fell down one after the other. The surviving rider looked at his three companions who had fallen to the ground in despair, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, and when he saw Lorist scream, he tried to run away.

Lorist sneered: "Are you gone?"

Take off the crossbow that hangs diagonally on the back of the horse, wind it, aim it, and fire it. The bolt hit the fleeing rider in the back of the heart, and the rider screamed and fell off his horse.

Lorist rode up to the carriage and tapped his shield with his sword: "Sedkamp, come out and clean up the battlefield." ”

The shield moved away, revealing Sedkamp's face: "My lord, are you done?"

"Well, six, not one of them ran. ”

"Okay, my lord, I'll go clean up the battlefield. Sedcamp got up in a puff of smoke and happily touched the body.

Lorist got into the carriage, helped Belunik up, and sat down in the back seat again. It was then that Lorist realized that Beruneck's face was full of tears.

"Big Brother Baker, what's wrong with you?"

"They, how can they be like this, this is rebellion! Without the protection of the Norton family, how can they have a good life, how can they be so ungrateful!" Berunek muttered.

"Thanksgiving?hehe......" Lorist smiled: "Big Brother Baker, you think of them too well." More than 200 years ago, the ancestors of our family took them as lords, you should know what their ancestors were, liars, vagabonds, criminals, thieves, gamblers, and those who did not pay their debts. Our fathers took them in, built them a city, and made them a home in the Northland. But did their ancestors be grateful? No, on the contrary, their ancestors took advantage of the negligence of our ancestors and the imperfection of the rules of the family territory to exploit loopholes and wantonly encroach on the interests of our family. Because of the kindness and scruples of our ancestors, they were able to do whatever they wanted. In their eyes, perhaps without our Norton family, they would be more comfortable. ”

"It's a pity that they forgot that Gelinthia is a lord's world, and if they don't pay, they won't get anything. The rat eyes of their ancestors cut off the upward passage of their descendants. Our family has never treated them as our own, and it is stricter to guard against them than against the enemy. They also cultivated Dou Qi, but no one gave them advice on how to cultivate after they were promoted, and they couldn't even organize caravans to go out to trade, so they were lucky if they weren't swallowed alive by the nobles of other territories by virtue of their status as commoners. That's why they're only now understanding that they want to get quasi-aristocratic status from our family, hehe......"

"But didn't you allow them to expand their garrison and give them three would-be knights?" Hearing Lorlist's words, Bérunec forgot his sadness, remembering the promise Lorist had made in Kitano City.

"Yes, I'm going to give three would-be knights, but I'm just preparing, not saying that I'm going to give them right away. If they want to be knights, they have to work hard to fulfill my orders until I am satisfied. As for when I'm satisfied, it may be a decade or a few decades away, and maybe their family will no longer exist then. Lorist said.

Of course, their family did not exist, and when Shi Fatzi's convoy returned to the Northland, Lao Tzu was the first to destroy Beiye City, and Lorist was ruthless in his heart.

"Your Excellency, you will become a great lord. Belunik said.

"Of course, I think so too. Lorist nodded solemnly, indicating that he agreed with this opinion.

......

"My lord, I've packed it up. "Sedkamp came back with five mounts, and the mounts were laden with leather armor, crossbows, swords, and a few messy things. Not far away, on the ground, lay six stripped corpses. Sedcamp was busy tying the two horses back to the carriage.

When Sedkamp was almost busy, Bérunek said: "Sedkamp, you drive the carriage over, and I'll see if I know any." ”

Sedcamp agreed, turned to the back of the carriage, and tied the five horses he had brought with him to the back of the carriage along with the reins of the mount that Lorist had just taken, and then returned to the driver's seat to the place where the body was placed.

Lorist turned Beruñek's body to his side so that he could see the faces of the six corpses on the ground.

"I know two people, the corpse on the far left is the nephew of Master Dumbassen, and when my body injuries were still healed two years ago, he often came over to help me clean my body and bathe with Cassie, and often asked me some technical questions about the use of Silver Rank Dou Qi. At first, I gave some pointers, but then I became alert and kept silent, so he didn't come back. That's when my injuries came back and forth, and Master Dumbasen said it was all because of the displacement of my internal organs...... Berujek said.

"And the bearded man in the middle, who is also a relative of Master Donbason, who has been to the small courtyard a few times, and has brought me fruit. He brought me the news of my master's death. But they didn't say anything else. I really can't understand why Viscount Kenmax led his troops to besiege the family's manor castle when they stood by and watched, they obviously had the strength to defeat Viscount Kenmax...... Don't they understand that if the Norton family is gone, then their foothold is gone?"

Lorist straightened Béruñek's body, sat down again, pointed to the several crossbow arrows inserted in the shield placed aside, and said: "Don't you see, this time they want to deal with you, they want to kill you, you die, Master Dumbassen's plot to poison you will not be exposed." Two years ago, they dared to do this, and they abandoned the pillar of your family's force on the sickbed. In the eyes of these garrison families in Kitano Town, they never think of themselves as members of the Norton family, and they have no idea of sharing weal and woe with our family at all. When their first betrayal was not effectively punished, they took our family's magnanimity as weakness, so they intensified it and took these rebellions for granted. ”

"Brother Baker, now you understand why I insisted that your squire Cassie follow Steward Codan to take care of the registration of the bereaved family and the landless townspeople. I can't trust anyone in Kitano, not even the Kodan steward except Sedkamp, especially in your current situation, even a seven or eight-year-old child can inflict fatal injuries on you. Cassie is your squire, but he's been in Kitano for many years, and you can't guarantee that he'll be bribed, so for your safety, that's why I chose to return to Manor Castle with the three of us. ”

"Actually, I guessed right, that Master Dumbasan can only choose to block the way and kill this method. It's just that they didn't expect that the six people they sent would be killed by me so easily, hehe, this is called knocking out teeth and swallowing in, and I can't tell if I have bitterness. Sometimes I feel that it really humiliates me to fight with these turtles who have never seen the world in Kitano Town. What they want to do and what they have in their hearts are clearly displayed on their faces, and I can guess their tricks at a glance, which is really unfulfilling. Let's go, Süderkamp, what are you doing here, hurry up, let's go home early. ”
