Chapter 38
In an old castle in the center of Sinclair, Vic was also woken up by the bell, but he didn't know what the bell meant, otherwise he wouldn't have cursed and disturbed his dreams. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
And those who can understand the meaning of the bell have long been packing up and preparing to escape from this dangerous place, for fear that one will not be too late, Sinclair County will fall, and then fall into the hands of the orcs, which is terrible to think about.
"What's going on out there? Vic said, stretching.
Originally, Vic was still going to sleep back, but he was also uncomfortable with the noise outside, there were still more than two days before the start of the mission, and Wilton was not able to motivate him with words, Vic really didn't know what else to do except sleep these days, but now even sleeping is not comfortable.
Bowen, the swordsman who had been keeping watch by Vic's side all night, replied, "Report to Count Vic, ten bells were struck at five o'clock in the morning, and then the sounds began, and I guess the bells rang for them to gather." ā
For the personal guard who has followed Vic all his life, Bowen also doesn't understand the situation in Sinclairshire, and can only roughly describe what might happen outside based on what he heard.
"Oh, is it?" said Vic, a little confused, "Let's go, go out and have a look." ā
He felt that things would not be so simple, there was something wrong with the noise outside, it was definitely not the sound that the assembly should have made, and it was a little like he was running for his life, very hurried.
Under Bowen's service, Vic put on his coat, and the two walked downstairs, many guards were on duty in the corridor along the way, and when they saw Vic coming, they politely greeted Vic, and Vic nodded slightly, but also accelerated the pace of going downstairs.
After going down the stairs and just walking to the gate of the castle, Vic suddenly felt a tightness in his heart, and an inexplicable sense of danger hit him instantly, so he subconsciously took two steps back.
Although Bowen also subconsciously blocked in front of Vic, he was still wondering why Count Vic suddenly retreated while walking, just when Bowen was about to draw his sword, the gate of the castle opened with a bang, and then two soldiers flew in, lying on the ground and rolling back and forth, obviously injured.
"Who are you?" asked Bowen as he drew his sword and questioned the squad of more than 100 people in front of him.
"Soma, General Wilton's personal guard. Soma still arched his hand and reported himself very politely.
For the two people lying next to him, Soma actually didn't want to hurt them, in case Count Vic blamed him, Soma couldn't afford it, but they had to let him in, Soma had an order, and their backstage Count Vick was still suspected of rebellion, Soma didn't dare to let go of the traitor of the empire because of the woman's kindness.
Vic pushed aside Bowen in front of him, and said angrily: "Hurt my personal guard, Wilton gave you the right?"
"Dear Earl Vic, I really have no choice, and I hope you will forgive me!" Soma continued, "General Wilton, please come over and say that there is something important to discuss." ā
Vic said, "What if I don't go." ā
Soma arched his hand and said, "Then don't blame your subordinates for being polite!"
In the face of Vic's intransigence, Soma didn't care, he knew that this would be the result, so he waved his hand, and commanded the soldiers below to come forward and capture this Vic alive, thinking that as long as he didn't hurt him, he couldn't blame him, anyway, it was General Wilton's order.
On Vic's side, Bowen led his hands to surround Vic, drew his long sword, and wanted to protect their leader, even the two soldiers lying on the ground got up from the ground with their stomachs covered, wanting to fight with Soma, but then looked at the team of hundreds of people on the other side and the few dozen people on their side, and only the flag died down.
"It's definitely not as simple as having something important to discuss', this is the first thing that comes to Vic's mind, this time is the critical moment to defend against the 'beast tide', Wilton is not good at guarding the city tower, but comes to him, a civil official, there must be something strange in it, maybe it has something to do with the situation outside.
"Yes, you can, but you tell me what's going on outside. Vic said.
"That's right. "At five o'clock in the morning, ten bells rang from the bell tower, indicating that there was something that would affect the life and death of Sinclair, and that more than a thousand soldiers had died on the walls, and there was no sign of an orc attack. As for the noise outside, it was those cowardly nobles preparing to flee from here. ā
Soma was happy to be able to bring Vic back without a fight, so he told Vic everything he knew, but what he didn't know was that there were many interpretations of his words in Vic.
Vic sneered and said, "Hehe, that old thing in Wilton thinks I did it?"
The reason that Vic can understand is that Wilton must have thought that more than a thousand soldiers on the city wall were killed by him, but Vic knew that it was not, because he had no reason to take the lives of Wilton's thousand soldiers.
Otherwise, Wilton just wanted to kill people with a knife, and it was not impossible that even a thousand people would be killed by Wilton, in order to kill him, a popular civilian official, in Sinclair County and stabilize the position of the four generals in Aldington.
If you want to add to the crime, of course Vic will not follow Soma, there must be no return, but in the face of the disparity in strength, Vic really doesn't know what to do for a while.
"I don't know, the general just told me to ask you to come over. Soma said.
"Humph!" Vic said coldly, "I won't go!"
As soon as the words were finished, the two sides drew their respective long swords, and if they didn't agree, they were about to do it, Vic was surrounded by several people and fought and retreated, and the battle was impressive, but the Soma people were overwhelming, and gradually gained the upper hand, and most of the soldiers lying on the ground were Vic's soldiers.
The soldiers led by the civilian officials are weaker than the battle-hardened Soma after all, and coupled with the numerical inferiority, they have already been beaten to death and wounded.
At this time, only more than a dozen people around Vic were still resisting, relying on the strength of too ordinary people, and the narrow space of the corridor continued to fight.
However, at this time, among the ten people, Vic had long been gone, and it turned out that he had already jumped from the window on the second floor under the cover of the battle, and he had already walked almost a mile at this moment.
Originally, he came here in advance to come over for a vacation, but he didn't expect to cause a lot of trouble, but he also recognized the essence of the four generals, and decided to draw a clear line in the future, and from time to time he had to yin against them.
Vic thinks that he is not a decent gentleman, and there is no reason not to take revenge, but it is a pity that he has brought the troops, so he must go back to the imperial city, and get some more soldiers to complete the secret mission arranged by the king for him, and by the way, Wilton will be in the dark in front of Oscar.
Vic certainly didn't think Oscar would kill Wilton because of him, even if he had paid for his life in Sinclairshire!
