Chapter 176: Dispute

For the first time, Jiaxi felt that she had a home, and in her short life, she had been on the run from exile, and the adults had taught her to be vigilant at all times against the law enforcers from the army and the Sanctuary. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

She had never felt free, and now she was truly at ease, there were no tax collectors, no brutal territorial guards, and no court to send them to the gallows.

She toasted the bread merrily, thinking about delivering it to the gray-robed warlock. All of the Maipu were convinced that this warlock could bring them light, the prophecy they had to follow to the death.

The clay oven was built yesterday, and the charcoal fire made Jiaxi sweat, but she was very happy.

At this moment, there was a commotion outside the door - she poked her head out curiously, and it was two guards fighting. They all claimed that the other had robbed them of the food and belongings they had distributed.

The crowd of onlookers gathered more and more, and Jiaxi wanted to stop going over it - her years of life experience had taught her that it was better not to meddle in things. However, she actually found the warlock in the crowd.

She almost wanted to scream, but when she looked down to find that the bread had not yet risen, it was just a hard and black mass, and she couldn't help but look at the dark red fire, and after a while, she couldn't help but turn her head to look at the warlock again.

"Mr. Diggs, please do me justice. He's robbed me of my food, and I haven't had enough to eat for two days!" shouted a scuffler.

"Mr. Diggs, please don't believe this liar! I still have children, this guy took his share of the food that should have been given to us, and is now framing me!" shouted another.

The crowd turned their eyes on the Warlock, who had once thought he was a saint, then a ruthless devil, and now, now that the war was over, people were more or less grateful to him again. Without that month of life-and-death training, they would not have mastered spells and survived the blades of a huge number of enemies.

The lord told them that the Warlock had single-handedly held back thousands of Imperial troops in order to make them return to Paliva unharmed. Therefore, people have both fear and reverence for Odin. When arguing, it is natural to expect him to give a reasonable result.

However, Odin is not here to solve the problem of such a trivial fight as fighting, he is just curious about Carter Larson's rather creative way of governing.

He smiled and said to the people, "Trust your lord, he will let you get a just result." ”

As soon as the words ended, several guards in soft armor squeezed a passage through the crowd. They wear a scorpion insignia on their chests, which is the emblem of the Territorial Guard.

They were recognized as the captain of the private who led them in wartime. Unexpectedly, within a few days, the young lord fulfilled his words and established a law enforcement force in the city.

"Carl, John, you have to come with us. One of the guards said, "The Scholars will hear your case." ”

"That ghost-looking bastard, who just said he was going to share power with us, is he going to suppress us and rob us of our property?"

"Just ask you to go to the courthouse, and the maester will give you a fair result......" The guards parted them with their spears.

"I'd like to see what the justices will say, Carl, and if you don't dare to come, you're framing me!" John said with a frown as he pushed the skinny man away.

"Take a trip, take a trip. "It's never too much trouble for people to watch the excitement.

Then the crowd bustled towards the Court of Arbitration, which had been the former chapel that Carter had ordered to be cleaned up and used as a temporary place for the Bachelors.

Odin didn't follow, still standing in front of the window of the bakery, and Jiaxi could see his perfect face and obsidian eyes from the side.

The window was opened, and the little girl poked her head out, with her big brown eyes, and said a little shyly, "Mr. Diggs, won't you go and see the results?"

"No—I'm just curious about what will happen to this city, this country, and whether you, the apostates, will have their wishes granted. ”

Odin turned his head and looked directly at the girl, these words were not sincere, but he knew what the girl was thinking, so he said it according to her wishes.

The girl replied with joy: "Yes, with you, with the lord, all miracles will be realized!"

Then, she handed out a long piece of brown bread, sprinkled with cheese and dried fruit, and brought it to the warlock: "Here you go, Mr. Diggs. ”

Odin was not polite, took the bread, then gave a piece to the girl, and then to a child with wide eyes and drooling beside him, and left the low stone house with a smile.

Jiaxi tilted her head and watched Odin's back until he disappeared around the corner. She smelled the aroma of a small piece of bread in her hand, and felt as if the sun had poured into her heart.

After a while, the noise came again, and the woman who saw the excitement knocked open the wooden door with an excited face: "Haha, John has won, the bachelor has deducted two days' food from the liar Carl, and punished him with seven days of miscellaneous labor, we can go to the stable tomorrow and laugh at him!"

There was a cheer in the stone house, but Jiaxi didn't hear it at all, as if all time was stuck in the moment when the warlock stood in front of her.

Outside the walls of the imperial capital, the war was at a stalemate.

Kai-East watched as arrows shot out of the walls, and the soldiers in front of him fell one after another. The trebuchet did not hesitate to smash one big hole after another between the teams.

There were even Union troops who had just been captured, tied to trebuchets and thrown out.

In the rear of the army, it fell into a bitter battle with the royalist army, which turned into a cavalry-to-cavalry battle. The heavily armored knights rode at each other, their steel blades intertwined, and the iron armor shuddered. Some of the horsemen overturned and dismounted, and then the horses' hooves stepped over their heads, and the long sword pierced their neck armor without hesitation and passed through their throats.

The crossbowmen and the baggage troops in the rear fled in panic, and the infantry, uncovered, stood in front, enduring the rain of arrows and falling rocks from the Praetorian Guard.

"Surrender, Black Sword! you have betrayed the Empire and insulted the gods, now let your army kneel and your family may be spared judgment!" shouted the lion Bailey-Sieri, raising his banner, as if mocking the insolence of the Duke of East.

The black sword stood upright in the sunlight, and he still straddled motionless on the snow-white horse's back, his golden hair shining brightly.

He replied with a sneer: "Hypocrites, you want to stab the king of the city with a sword and then ascend to the throne. You are guilty of the same crime as Lelia Stanley, and you are complicit in the killing of the first king!, I will not be stupid enough to end up with Haysa Larsen!" (To be continued.) )
