2000613913 under the test of Chapter 206
"Baron Grande Ricca, outside the town of Baron, Baron Roccas. In front of the desk, I was looking through the documents in a somewhat irritated mood.
A servant came in and saluted him.
"What's the matter?" asked Baron Roccas, raising his eyelids slightly.
"Sir, yes" It's the second lady who is here, and she wants to see you. The servant replied.
Baron Rocas was stunned for a moment, and then. A flash of anger flashed in her eyes: "Eleni is coming over, and you are still being used to inform her, how dare you stop her?"
"No" is what you commanded the other day. No one is allowed to disturb you while you are in the office. Whoever wants to see you must inform you in advance. You agreed," the servant turned pale with fright, and quickly explained.
Baron Rocas also remembered his order at this time, and he waved his hand a little irritably: "Okay, okay, let her in, the second lady will come back in the future, don't stop it anymore, do you hear? My order definitely does not include my daughter!"
"Yes, yes!" the servant hurriedly withdrew.
After a while, the door to the study was pushed open again. A young girl in a white priest's robe walked in from the outside, and then, quietly closing the door, stood there, looking at him.
"Father. She called softly.
It's been more than half a year, if not longer. Neither of them has seen each other again. Although the temple is very close to the castle, one party is busy cultivating and managing the temple, and almost all of the food, clothing, housing and transportation are in the temple.
The other party is busy with various aristocratic interactions, and since half a year ago, because of his daughter's marriage problems, he wanted to marry her into a higher aristocratic family related to the church, and the father and daughter have been a little estranged.
Father. It was just two gentle words, but it made Baron Roccas's heart feel a little emotional.
"Elenie, come, come and sit here. Baron Rocas motioned for his daughter to sit in front of him. Elean nodded, and then, quietly, sat across from her father.
The two men, separated by a table, were silent for a short while.
"Elenie, I haven't seen you in a long time, have you been busy with the temple lately?" Baron Rocas asked, after a pause.
Alini replied lightly: "The matter of the temple, my daughter can still handle it, this time I came to find my father, there is something I want to tell my father." ”
"Well, what's the matter?" you say. Baron Rocas said.
He doesn't like this mode of getting along between father and daughter very much, and he really wants to go back to the previous one, but if he is asked to bow to his daughter and let the other party continue to "mess around" like this, he really can't do it. In his concept, everything he does for his daughter is for the good of the other party. Could it be that letting her daughter marry a rich and powerful person with pure aristocratic blood is not better than the motley little nobleman she likes?
Thinking of this, Baron Rocas couldn't help but turn his anger on Romon . In his opinion, it was all caused by this motley little nobleman. If it weren't for him, how could his daughter become so willful and disobedient? How well-behaved and lovely her former daughter was!
It can also be seen from this that Baron Rocas actually did not really know his daughter. He didn't know that in fact, the body of the second daughter, who was well-behaved and weak, was beating with a smart and strong heart.
At this time, Aleni did not pay attention to the change in her father's expression, she considered it for a moment, and told Baron Rocas what she had just heard.
"Father, I just learned the news
"I already know. Baron Rocas said suddenly.
Seeing his daughter's somewhat surprised expression, he hurriedly said, "I've heard about this before." However, I didn't expect it to be so soon, but since the people in the neighborhood have started to harvest the crops, let's start harvesting my territory as well.
"Well, since the father already knows, the daughter will retire. "See that the message has been delivered. Miss Elenie immediately stood up and prepared to leave.
Baron Rocas had been looking at his daughter to the door, and he suddenly called out, "Elenie"
Alie's body suddenly stopped, and she stood there.
Only, what I told you, I hope you will think about it again, to you and to the whole family. There are only good and no harm. Baron Rocas said with a hint of hope.
When Miss Eleni heard this, she did not speak again, and walked straight out.
In the "Elini" room, only a thin middle-aged man remained, sighing with a disappointed face.
He looked at the tabletop, was silent for a while, and then, slammed his hand on the table, and then, coldly: "Romon ah Romon don't think I can't guess who sent the letter to Efniton, but"
After speaking, he stood up, walked to the door, slammed it open, and rushed outside: "Someone!"
"Lord Baron. Several guards ran over.
"Go, call me both the agricultural officer and the interior officer, and let them come here, I have something to look for them. Baron Rocas said coldly, in a very bad mood.
"Yes!" the guards ordered to leave.
Subsequently, the farmland in Baron Roccas's domain also began to be harvested.
On the third day after he harvested the farmland, a strange thing happened.
This is the domain of Baron Pezinte, and because of the hills and woods nearby, the air here is nice and fresh.
A small squad of cavalry patrolled the periphery of the collar.
"Knight Edward, things haven't been going well lately. A young midshipman, looking around, with a wary look on his face: "There have been a few cows that have been dragged away by unknown things, and the blood has flowed all over the ground, all the way to the other side of the hills, you say, monsters"
The knight named Edward, the captain of this cavalry, was in his thirties, and he seemed to be very shrewd, but he had already reached the rank of knight. Naturally, it belonged to Baron Pezinte's cronies, and he gave the young trainee knight a blank look, and said coldly: "Don't talk nonsense, take care of your own business." Don't say what you shouldn't say, with this spiritual guess, it's better to practice more, and be promoted to the fifth level as soon as possible to officially become a knight!"
"Oh, yes!" was reprimanded by the captain, and the young cadet knight's face suddenly changed. He stopped talking, although he was also the son of a nearby knight, but he didn't reach the fifth level, he was never a real knight, and the gap between his identity and status was very obvious here.
The others all had sympathetic expressions on their faces, in fact, they didn't know that the situation in the territory was not quite right now, since a few months ago. There was always news of monsters, but because of the intervention of the Church of the Lord of Radiance, they were forcibly suppressed their curiosity and fear, and now, after a few months, this danger signal is getting stronger day by day.
Watching the team members look around in fear. As the captain, Edward couldn't help but sigh. In fact, he is not unaware of this situation, but, as a close confidant of the baron, he can only ask himself, try to appease his subordinates, the real battle has not yet begun, if the hearts of the people are scattered, then, what hope is there?
Along the way, most of the roads in this area are hills, dense forests and bushes, when the sun rises in the middle of the sky. The team goes around a small hill, which is the barony
"Captain, when we get to the road, I'll go up and take a turn." At this time, the light apprentice knight who first asked the question suddenly said.
Because it's in a relatively safe area. Therefore, Captain Edward didn't think much about it, so he nodded: "Okay, let's go, the rest of the personnel, rest in place, and wait for the return." ”
The young apprentice knight slowly climbed up to the hills, there were some jungle isolation in it, and no one could be seen in the middle, and after waiting for a while, he still didn't see him come out, Captain Edward couldn't help frowning: "You two go over and take a look, see why he is so rubbing." ”
"Yes, Captain!" the other two cavalrymen also pierced into the jungle.
After a short while, Knight Edward's face suddenly changed, and he raised his hand to signal that the cavalry were on guard, and he smelled the fishy smell in the air with confusion and fear: "Get ready for battle, wait for my order." ”
After saying that, he drew his long sword, rode in, and when he entered, he saw the situation inside, and everyone was stunned
。
Six corpses, which were already visible in white bones, fell on the grass, and around them, more than two dozen monsters with horns on their heads like young children were tearing at the remaining human flesh.
This tragic situation made Knight Edward's eyes turn red when he saw it: "Kill them for me!"
As soon as he shouted, he led the men to rush forward.
At the same time, the twenty or so little monsters also spotted them, and saw that so many more people were coming. An excited and cruel expression suddenly appeared on his face, and he rushed back.
The two sides immediately exchanged fire, and a trace of fighting spirit appeared on Edward's knight, and he swung his sword. Slay these little demons one by one, and blood splattered.
The cavalry behind, seeing that the captain was so brave, cheered and slashed the monsters one by one.
Knight Edward's eyes swept away, and he saw a half-eaten corpse, his face still clearly visible, it was the apprentice knight, and his heart was furious.
This apprentice knight, but the son of the knight of the world, entrusted to him, is now dead here. Moreover, there is a little devil who does not run away, grabbing an arm.
"Die!" Edward's knight flashed with a fierce spirit, swinging his sword and slashing straight ahead.
However, when the sword slashed at the little demon, a black shadow suddenly appeared under the corpse of the horse next to him, and the sword flashed and suddenly pierced through the back of his heart. Exposed on the chest.
The power of darkness, a frenzied influx, instantly shattered the internal organs in the knight's body.
Captain Edward's body slammed to the ground. At the last moment of his life, he saw hundreds of little demons appear in front of him, behind them. And then there's a big demon, and then. The hideous faces were getting closer and closer to him. Under the severe pain, he saw that his arms and legs were torn off, and then, his eyes went dark, and he didn't know anything.
Beneath the corpse, a large demon dressed in black emerged, which seemed to be shrouded in a black cloak all the time, and his face was unnaturally pale in the sun, like a drowned corpse. Its pupils were also deep black: "Hehe, it went well, killed a knight!"
"yes, this knight really doesn't have a brain. Twenty or so little demons can kill three third- or fourth-level warriors silently?" said the big demon on the other side with a sneer.
A real knight, even if his combat strength is a little inferior to that of the Great Demon, he will not be far behind, and now this simple trick has killed him.
In front of him, hundreds of small demons suddenly appeared in the jungle, and the captain was killed again, and the entire cavalry team became frightened and panicked.
They have no fighting spirit at all, turn around and run, but. Although the little devils can't really fly, their small wings can also make them jump briefly, just like a domestic goose, although it is not like a swan, it can fly in the blue sky, but a few flutters are not a problem.
In an instant, the members of the team behind were pounced on with screams, and dozens of little devils pounced on them, and immediately ate them.
"Stupid!" a big demon sneered at the human cavalry who had completely lost the will to fight
If you resolutely resist, you may be able to kill a group of little demons, but now you will die in vain.
"Don't underestimate humans, every time we first attack, we always encounter such humans. The big demon shrouded in black robe said, it is the famous "assassination demon" is the middle-level existence among the demons: "After that, a large number of strong men and fighters will emerge, so now, we have to let the little devil try to get enough food." ”
The so-called food, of course, is human beings.
For the little devil, the advancement is very simple, and if there is enough meat, especially humans, then the little devil can advance quickly.
"Yes, my lord, give the order!" the Great Demon seemed to be slightly inferior to the Assassination Demon.
Twenty cavalrymen and horses were seen. None of them escaped, and all of them were eaten and only skeletons remained, but for thousands of little devils, this was just a drop in the bucket.
"Kill, wipe out all the human villages you see, and don't leave any meat behind. The Assassin gave the order.
With its command, a large group of small demons cheered and rushed down the hill.
In the past, there were countless tragedies in this territory.
Half an hour after the incident, the nobles next to the Barony of Pezin got the news of the demonic disaster, and the news is still spreading rapidly.
Of course, the most rapid response among the messages. It is the Church of the Lord of Light.
At noon, the Church of the Lord of Light. The alarm bell rang first, and the bell rang throughout the city, and with it, the bells of all the churches.
A large number of priests serving various gods gathered in front of the altar, praying with sincere and solemn expressions, and the hymns rushed straight to the clouds.
And at this time, the temple of the Lord of Light.
The holy fire was already burning on the altar, and the whole hall was filled with holy light, which was the beginning of the holy war. In a holy war, the flame is never extinguished, unless the believers here are dead and conquered.
A priest shouted, "The archbishop has arrived!"
First of all, twenty holy sword knights in silver armor came up and stood neatly on both sides of the hall.
Then there were the bishops and knights of the Inquisition, who also appeared in the hall, and finally, the archbishop, who had a faint light on him and stepped on the high platform.
Eight bishops also walked up the stairs one after another. Stand behind the archbishop in unison. 、
All the priests and knights stood in awe.
"I declare, the holy war begins!" the archbishop's voice was calm and cold.
With these words, the flame skyrocketed. The huge flames instantly rushed straight to the bottom of the hall, and it was only after the Xuan Xuan was restored to its original state.
"The first order of the church was to move all the women and children from all over the country to the city, and the young and strong formed a militia to fight, and whoever dared to flee would be killed. ”
"Secondly, the second order is to take Baron Pezinte, who is the lord of the first line and has fled to run. Himself and his family, all executed in the name of human traitors and blasphemers!"
The pastors present all changed their faces slightly, and they took a breath of cool air.
