943. The Town Night Watchman
……
Lord MacDonnell's manor was in shambles, and the manor guards kept running back to the manor like a swarm of headless flies, and from the manor they entered the mountains to search for the lord's whereabouts.
Two battalions of 500 cavalry and 1,500 infantry battalions arrived outside the manor just as it was getting dark, and began to search the forest in a carpet way.
The Dark Mages also flew in the night sky on their magic handles, firing shimmer flares into the sky to illuminate the ground troops as much as possible.
But the assault team was already taking Lord MacDonnell at this moment, bypassing the mountain forest along the river path, and approaching the town where they came.
After an argument between the Archswordsman of Chester and the Archswordsman of Quintas, Quintas decided to respect Chester's opinion, after all, his plan was more secure.
And Lord McDonnell is even more difficult to deal with than expected, and his double. Both legs and arms were severed by the Archswordsman of Quintas, and the chain bones were also severed, but Lord McDonnell did not confide in any useful information.
The Archswordsman of Quintas felt the need for someone from the Pena City Intelligence Office to interrogate Lord MacDonnell, perhaps with some useful information.
Therefore, after eating dinner, the assault team only rested for a short hour, and immediately dismantled the temporary tent and left the forest area overnight.
While the 2,500 soldiers of the knights' battalion and the infantry battalion, who had arrived from Mukuso to conduct a carpet search, were searching the mountains, the assault team had already left the mountains and dispersed into four groups into a small town on the outskirts of the city.
……
Surdak was fine with Samira and Thea, but the two-headed ogre target was too eye-catching.
So the four of them couldn't stay in the hotel as an adventure party, so they had to find a house in the town that looked quite secluded.
Coincidentally, there was only one night watchman living alone in the house.
When Surdak and Gulit entered the courtyard, the night watchman was already dressed in his coat and carrying a lantern in his hand, ready to push the door open and go out into the street to begin his night's work.
When he saw a two-headed ogre standing in front of him, he was immediately frightened, Surdak certainly wouldn't let him be unconscious for too long, and when the night watchman woke up from his coma, snot and tears flowed out of his nose and tears.
The living room of the room seemed cramped, and Surdak tossed a set of tea sets on the wooden table to the ground and smashed it.
Then he placed a dagger and a gold coin on the table in front of the owner of the house, and asked him to make a multiple-choice question that seemed simple.
The owner of the room did not hesitate to pick up the gold coin very wisely, and put it in his mouth and bit it vigorously before quickly counting it into the pocket next to his crotch.
"You're rebels on the other side of the downstream woods?" The Night's Watch guessed.
Surdak sat noncommittally across from him, staring at the Night's Watch.
The night watchman gritted his teeth, rolled up a blanket and a leather mattress and burrowed into the storeroom, and re-covered the entrance to the storeroom.
According to the agreement with Surdak, the Surdak team leaves the place tomorrow morning, and the Night's Watch is free.
Although he is likely to lose his job as the town's night watchman, with this gold coin, he will probably be able to live comfortably for more than half a year, during which time he will not have to work......
Although the house is small, all kinds of facilities are quite complete.
When Surdak decided to stay here for the night, Thea had already slipped into the rudimentary bathroom and started to hydrate herself......
Samira took the initiative to go up to the roof, this house has no attic, she is half lying on the rubble, fortunately it is summer on the dry cloth plane, as long as you put a leather mattress under her, it is quite comfortable to lie on the roof knight.
Gullit sat on the carpet in the living room, and he needed a good meal to replenish his strength.
Surdak looked at the dilapidated house, which contained almost nothing but a couch, a fireplace, and a blackened iron pot.
Surdak was not short of supplies, though, as he pulled out some scones and two boxes of canned luncheon meat from his magic backpack, and boiled a pot of water in the fireplace to make a supper for the ogre.
"All we need to do is wait here until dawn, and then go to the Chester Great Swordsman to join them, and then we can leave the Dry Cloth Plane."
Surdak took a bite of the wheat cake and said to the ogre with great interest.
"What about the Demon Gate in the Magic Tower over there?" The ogre asked earnestly.
"I guess we won'......t have to wait until we get back to Bena City and the House of Representatives will make a decision," Surdak said.
At night, Surdak lay on the sofa in the living room, lying on the carpet Gulit snoring like thunder, he barely slept much, and when he closed his eyes, his mind came to the black cabbage with teeth and claws, and each cabbage showed a bloody mouth, and kept opening and closing......
Breakfast was a scone porridge mixed with luncheon meat left over from last night.
Then he opened the underground storage room, and saw the night watchman lying on a wolfskin mattress, still asleep......
Probably sensing the light of the storeroom, the night watchman opened his eyes dimly, got up from the floor in the storeroom, squinted at Surdak at the door of the storeroom, and asked Surdak again:
"Are you rebels in the woods?"
Surdak thought for a moment, smiled and said to the night watchman, "Sort of! ”
"So you wait...... I can't accept this gold coin, I heard that your money is very tight, but unfortunately I don't have any money in my hand, and I'm very afraid of death, I can't support you, and I don't want to join you. ”
The night watchman sat at the door of the storeroom and babbled a lot, and finally wanted to return the gold coin to Surdak, much to Surdak's surprise.
"You're also against Lord MacDonnell's rule?" Surdak asked.
"What's the use of objecting, people have already dismantled the portal and completely disconnected from the province of Bednar......" The Night's Watch sighed, adding, "In order to support this battle, everyone has already taken out everything of value......"
Surdak didn't want to talk to the night watchman about this, so he stood at the door of the storeroom and said, "After we leave, you'd better stay at home until the evening before going out!" ”
He took two steps forward, then turned back again.
The Night's Watch looked at Surdak nervously.
Surdak took another gold coin from his pocket, threw it to the ragged night watchman, and said, "I broke your tea set last night, and this is a ...... for you."
After saying that, he took the ogre, Samira, and Thea out of the remote courtyard.
"Keep an eye on him, if he runs out to report the news, I'll shoot him......"
Surdak whispered to Samira, who was beside him.
