"Lord, you're here. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

It was the blonde Aiden, who stood by the wall with the familiar Sombra longbow on his back, wrapped himself in his cloak as much as he could, his shoulders already covered with a layer of snow-white.

"Winter. Alan spun off his horse and stepped forward to ask.

"Hail. Aiden replied with a codeword.

"Where are the people now?" Kenny walked over and reached out to sweep the snow off Aiden's shoulders.

"Lord, things may be even stranger than Captain Selsi said," Aiden squeezed his thick eyebrows together, "If the person the Sentinel saw was really Barton, then he probably didn't know about the change of Nepur until now." ”

"It seems that his destination is really here. Kenny smiled grimly.

"Not only that," Aiden shrugged, "he spotted the sentinels, but the soldiers chosen by Captain Selsey were shrewd, they lied that they were Taylor's men, and Barton even praised Taylor in front of them, and even more bizarrely....." He raised an eyebrow and lowered his voice, "..... The sentinel who came back first said that Barton seemed to have no idea what was going on, that he looked tired and not very good, and more importantly, that the group seemed to have been through a battle, and that their armor and weapons were damaged, and that the sentry said that they could be sure that it was the real Patton, at least in a very similar way of behaving and speaking in a very similar manner, and of course, they did not know about the strange things we had encountered. ”

"What do you think?" Kenny tossed the question to Alan and Sercy.

"When he comes, he'll know. Alan said bluntly.

"Maybe we shouldn't have been so hasty," Sersi frowned, "Could it be that Barton already knows what is going on here, and has contacted the nobles to get rid of the spies we have planted in their fiefdoms, and then, they have discovered the sentinels outside the city, and Barton himself has taken the bait to recapture Nippel." If so, he has managed to attract the attention of almost all our sentinels, and perhaps behind him there are nearly two thousand well-armed and brave cavalry!"

"It makes sense," Kenny agreed, "that to overthrow Sam's regime proves that he's at least not a complete idiot." Sersi was right, we shouldn't be so hasty. He looked at a knight behind him and ordered, "Go to the west of the city at once, gather all the soldiers, and let them lie in two groups outside the city walls on the north and south sides, ready for battle, and the horn is the order." ”

"Don't be so nervous, relax. Alan said with a relaxed face.

"It's always good to be careful. Kenni said.

"I guess this may be a gift from the god Namu. Alan spread out his hands and swept his eyes to the three people in front of him, "Just on the way here, I suddenly figured out something. Since the guy who knows how to do witchcraft will go to save the old butler, it means that they at least know each other, just imagine, that old guy was just imprisoned yesterday and was rescued at night, will this be too fast?" he was silent for a moment, "Since they know each other, the old butler doesn't have to do it himself, although the guy who knows witchcraft has already startled the snake, but as long as this limelight passes, he still has a chance to get rid of us easily....."

The three of them were silent for a while.

"Finished?" Cersi scratched his head, "I don't understand." ”

"I mean, the old butler had told Barton what had happened here, but he hadn't received any reply, and he guessed that Barton must be in some danger, so he couldn't bear it and wanted to get rid of Kenny himself. And, even if the assassination fails, he bets that Kenny won't kill him, because we need to dig up the news of Barton out of his mouth, and he's clever enough to have a way out for himself, the guy who can conjure witchcraft. So, I suspect that the person the Sentinel saw might really be Patton, and that he was in some trouble not receiving a letter from the old butler. ”

"Reasonable. Kenny dusted the snow off his shoulders, "But it's always good to be careful, it might make us live a little longer." With that, he tightened his sable cloak and walked to the city gate.

The waiting time is spent in Allen's whistle.

Standing under the East City Gate, Sersi looked at the figure that gradually became clear in the snow, and he threw a look at Kenny and the others inside the city wall, and the lazy whistle came to an abrupt end.

Kenny nodded at Sercy, who looked down over his shoulder, straightened his shirt, and after two deep breaths, walked out of the city on his own.

The goal is getting closer. He tried to calm his breath and his pace, as Alan taught, and he betrayed the lord who was gracious to him, and his anxiety and apprehension continued to tear at his heart.

It was a challenge for Sersi, unprecedented, and he would rather take a sword than pretend to be nothing, even if the blade was aimed at the heart.

As the distance closed, Sersi saw the travelers in the snow, led by Barton's own soldiers, who knew the imp well, from a small border town in Nipur, with fiery curly hair and a hooked nose, who could play beautiful music on a wooden flute, and pierce the heart of a traitor with a spear on his shoulder.

Patton's head drooped, caught between more than twenty knights, had been away from the city of Nipur for less than two weeks, but he had become a monkey, his stomach no longer pressed against his leather belt, his waist no longer straight, and his face was full of despair and frustration.

"Hey, look, who's that!!" a young voice appeared in the ranks, and the knights looked up.

"Oh-" Barton craned his neck, "Damn!

Sersi froze where he was, he needed to stand up to ease his restlessness, and when Barton's deep voice came to his ears, he could almost predict that he would soon be exposed, and then he would be slashed to death by the knights, and he began to curse Eren in his heart.

Barton got off his horse and looked at Sersi with a pale face, his eyes full of surprise, just to see a long-lost subordinate, or..... A brother who shields himself from arrows?

"Old man!" Barton looked Sercy up and down, "You seem to have lost weight too!Hey, I told you a long time ago, even if you are young, you should pay attention to your body, and don't be like me, infected with a strange disease!"

Sercy lowered his head, not daring to make eye contact with Barton, his gaze fell on Patton's chest, and there were two deep dents on the silver armor, as if it had been hammered by some heavy weapon.

"What's wrong?" Barton nudged Selsey, "Dumb sorcery by a brothel girl?"

"No..... Lord....." Sersi licked her parched lips, "..... I..... It's good to see you again. ”。

Barton smiled, tired, and reached out to pat Sersi on the shoulder, a seemingly ordinary gesture that caused Sersi to let out a dull wail.

Sersi jerked his hands away and clutched his shoulders in pain, his eyes full of pain and unease. (To be continued.) )
