"Northerners!"

To the devout abbot Teresa, this is really terrible news, oh, may the gods have mercy on her, how can those terrible devils appear in this place? She had heard of their many tyrannical deeds since she was young, and knew that they would kill monks and inhabitants indiscriminately, oh, they were more terrible than the devils of hell, and for them it was as common to plunder the monastery as a feast, and to kill a monk was not more than a serf, but a nun...... And if they come......

"Sisters, this is a last resort in order for us to avoid terrible humiliation at the hands of the infidels...... "The nuns all turned pale when they heard their abbot speak, but no one could think of a better way. They all knew how many venerable abbots, monks, and even bishops had suffered at the hands of these pagan northerners, who had prayed all night for their suffering, and now, this terrible doom that they had been praying for, hoping to avoid, had befallen them!

O gods! Will no one be able to stop their atrocities? Is there no one who can save us! O our Saviour, save us, sinners!

The weak nuns prayed, picked up knives, and scratched their faces bloodied.

Only in this way can we avoid the tragic fate of being taken away by the northerners and becoming slave girls......

"Hey, there's a monastery there!" A northerner pointed to the obvious tall building and shouted, "Monastery, too!" ”

In the lexicons of these northerners, accustomed to plundering Neustria, "monastery" and "great treasure chest" are almost synonymous. The monastery did not have the huge expenses of the master's birth and marriage, and in addition to the income of the territory, there were donations from the devout believers. Thus the wealth stored is much greater than that of the secular lords, but the armament is much weaker than that of the secular lords - indeed. Many abbots kept soldiers, some knights, and they themselves went to war, but a monastery always had many unarmed men such as scribes, and it was much easier to attack than the same castle in proportion to the population.

For these northerners, a monastery is nothing more than a very good piece of fat.

Therefore, it is very easy to understand the joy of this northerner at the sight of the monastery. However, the leader of the team did not even look back.

"Monastery! There's a monastery there! The man again emphasized his findings to the chief.

"I know, but we're going to get to the mouth of the river, it's too late!" Adair reluctantly said that he had known from the captives' confessions that there was a convent here, and that it was an easier target than the convent, but now they were fleeing for their lives! The treasure chest on the road brings not joy but painful torture.

"This leader of ours ......" disgruntled voices rang out in the ranks from time to time. After sacking several horse farms in succession, and chopping the knights and horses they met into meat sauce, the warriors immediately regained their faith in the Neustrians - they were still the same as before!

Wealth is everywhere and at your fingertips, and it's not for this that they have crossed the ocean. At the risk of shipwrecking and dying on the way, did you bring your own equipment and dry rations to Neustria? Now, a glorious future lies ahead. Their leader ignored all of this, and was bent on running away!

He was scared of his mind. Many of the young warriors thought so that they were in the face of the wealth that could be obtained by the light yì. Soon they forgot the horrors of the light cavalry, and instead talked to each other: "If you had carried it hard at that time, it might not have ......"

As we passed by the next monastery, the voices of the discussion had risen an octave to an almost open protest.

"The warriors do not want to go home empty-handed," said the chieftains, "just because they have met those few cavalrymen, and besides, they have not raised the king's banner and cannot catch up with us, and they may have gone home." ”

"If that is the case, it is very wonderful news, that our greatest enemy is a complete idiot, who is subservient to men with such force," Adair's voice was as soft as his expression, so that those who heard his words did not feel sarcastic, but only that he was giving in, "I would rather be cautious, and go to the mouth of the river to seize the boats, and then go to those who want to go with me, and the others—I wish them good luck!" ”

"The king ran away?" Hearing this, Jason really didn't know what expression to make, "They don't care about the Great Abbey?" The former king is still in the Great Abbey! ”

"They have already crossed the sea, and it is estimated that they will ...... as soon as they receive the warning from the Grand Abbey," Tim was also quite speechless, "the King, the Queen Mother, the Duke of Ulrich, the Archbishop, and many other courtiers are gone...... Now the garrison of the royal capital is not even as good as a barony's territory! ”

"Heh, hehe." Jason was also a little dumbfounded, "Damn, is this good news?" ”

"What's the matter?" Luo Yi walked over.

"My master......" Tim bowed to her, but before he could continue, the others interrupted him.

"What? You say that this is the ...... that has a large army and can defend against the northerners" A young man who followed Tim couldn't help but cry out, and finally he often dealt with the nobles in the court, and he swallowed the remaining half of the sentence into his stomach, but a big man next to him shouted, "Tim! Are you teasing us? Is your master such a young woman? The converted guy really can't believe it! ”

"Don't you see the army?" Tim sneered, "I said there was an army that could defend against the northerners, didn't it?" ”

A few people behind him silently shut up when they saw the neat team, but the eyes that looked at Luo Yi were still extremely distrustful, as if to say, it's okay for someone to claim to be the master of this army, but you can't.

"Who are they?" Luo Yi asked.

After the king and the others crossed the sea and fled, there was chaos in the royal capital, and it was believed that not many northerners would come at once, but anyone who knew a little about the situation in the kingdom knew that if there were no powerful nobles with their men to support, they would have to rely on themselves to resist the attacking northerners. At this time, Tim, who had come to the royal court in advance to prepare for the Count of Fisher's accusation against his daughter, tried to mediate, and told the people of Sù that there was an army that could come to his aid.

Relying on the trade network that Jacob the Elder had laid out earlier, and knowing him as the administrator of the city of Turnest with many of the people who had made pilgrimages to Tournest, his words still carried some weight, and others agreed that he should ask his master to come to his aid.

However, when they think of "Tim's master," they think of a most venerable bishop who can perform miracles, not a petite young woman. Because of this, when they saw the Lord, they were all messed up in the wind.

Now the representatives of the citizens who came to ask for help felt that they were too rash, ah, the son of a pagan merchant, who knew what war was? Their people have never been known for fighting!

"It's great you're okay." Tim choked up after stating the identities of these people, he had been afraid that his master would collide with the northerners head-on and be routed on the way, and he was relieved when he saw Luo Yi's team, and he didn't have time to ask how they had managed to get here.

"Hey, if you hit it head-on, it's not my misfortune, it's theirs." Luo Yi replied, "Help them defend the city?" No. ”

"What?" Tim was taken aback, he knew that his master had always hated the invaders who had destroyed Neustria, and the others had such expressions, "If you help defend the city, not to mention the military expenses that the citizens have agreed to donate, you will also gain great popularity in the royal capital, and the next time you do business, you will ......"

"It is enough for them to defend the city themselves."

But...... "You're going to run away too?" Well, it's normal for the kings to run away, that is, can you take me with you when you run away, and my grandfather......

"Guard, don't let people fish in troubled waters, and I," Luo Yi's arm drew a beautiful semicircle in the air, and then simply punched it neatly, "will send these robbers where they belong, prison!" (To be continued......)
