The bright moon was gradually obscured by the clouds on the horizon, but it was very strong, and it still struggled to reveal its lovely round face, shining the elegant moonlight through the clouds and shining on the earth. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info late at night, is quiet, is serene, but now in this dark night, it is quiet and uneasy, and the silence is creepy. The tense atmosphere, accompanied by the cool breeze of the night, spread out in all directions in the town of Tyre.
The moonlight fell softly on the silver-white armor, as if the mother's warm hand caressed her tough and delicate face. The evening breeze in the dark night gently blew her silky golden hair, floating left and right, and under the background of the moonlight, it became light and divine......
"Cedric, what are we going to do?" Tiara looked back, and saw that Coolad's army was already close at hand, and it was too late to escape. In the face of her anxious inquiry, without waiting for Cedric to answer, Faennes, who was sitting on the ground, staggered to stand up, but he was drunk and did not allow him to control his body "Haha, Kurad is finally here, let me fight with him" Faense sat on ......the ground and laughed.
"How many people are here in Kurad?" Hearing Cedric's question, the Order mercenary quickly replied, "There are no less than a hundred." When Cedric heard this, he couldn't think of anything to do for a while. Seeing him racking his brains, Tiara gritted her teeth, gasped twice, and pulled out the long sword at her waist, "We're fighting him!" Saying that, Tiara was about to kill with the sword, but fortunately, Cedric stopped her quickly.
"Can you not be impulsive, don't you think you got into enough trouble last time?" Hearing this, Tiara was even more angry, but she had nothing to refute, "Then you quickly think of a way, repel them, and the army of Kurad will be killed immediately." Tiara, visibly panicked, as she spoke, grabbed Cedric's shoulders with excitement and shook them back and forth.
"Fight them off, use magic, why do you have to think about such things!" Cedric quickly broke free of Tiara's hand, but at this moment, Faenes did not know when to stand up and staggered towards the outside of the cemetery, Cedric was startled, ran up quickly, and threw him to the ground.
Farnes, who fell to the ground, belched dizzily. Seeing this, Cedric couldn't help frowning and sat down on the ground, "Give me some quiet!" With his shout, the surroundings suddenly fell silent. Cedric, who has always been cynical, has never been as serious as he is now.
"I'll delay them, Tiara, and you will lie in ambush in the house with men, and when I give the signal, you will come out of the house as soon as I shout. And take care of this drunk. Cedric said, got up, patted the dust off his body, and walked out. At this time, Tiara hurriedly stepped forward and stopped him, "No, I'd better go." "You go, you go, we don't have to ambush, you can cook them at the door." Cedric shook his head helplessly.
"But it's too dangerous for you to go alone. "It's okay, I'm running fast, you just need to set up the net here." With that, Cedric walked straight out of the cemetery, ignoring Tiara's dissuasion, and under her watchful gaze, his figure faded away until he disappeared into the darkness......
"My lord, this is just this small village, you give the order now, I will rush in with my troops, and before dawn, I will be able to take down all the rebels. I saw an officer whispering beside Kurad, and followed by a force of 100 men, who were a little shabby, but from the rough faces, it could be seen that this was a battle-hardened army.
Kurad was wearing a black armor, the silver pattern on the edge made this armor very ornate, and the gray-white cloak fluttering behind his back looked very powerful. Hearing the officer's words, he immediately knocked him on the head, "You know a fart, the mercenaries of the Order have always been well-trained, and they are one enemy and one hundred, if they are destroyed, it will be a pity." ”
Hearing his words, the young officer, with a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth, nodded as if he didn't understand, "Yes, my lord, I heard that there is a woman named Tiara among the mercenaries of the Order, who is not only strong in swordsmanship, but also ...... in appearance" "Shut up, you bastard, do you think you are a bandit?" Before the officer could finish speaking, Kurad knocked him on the head again.
"I feel sorry for them......," said Kurad, a hint of sadness appeared on his face, and the corners of his wrinkled eyes looked extraordinarily vicissitudes, although he had a fiery temper and was known for his cruelty to his enemies, but after saying this, from his serious face, he looked like a late old general, kind and serious.
"My lord, look at ......" Following the officer's raised arm, Kurad looked over, only to see that outside the gate of Tyre, there was only a young mercenary of the Order, the double knife at his waist, shining in the moonlight, looking from below, exuding a trace of solemnity, but when he saw the unkempt hair, all this atmosphere was ruined.
The officer was about to draw his sword and step forward, when Kurad patted his arm and stopped him. Holding the long sword at his waist with one hand and the pitch-black helmet in the other, Kurad walked to the front alone, while the army behind him followed cautiously and vigilantly after a distance, for fear that Kurad would make a mistake.
Seeing this, Cedric also smiled and walked forward, spreading his hands, showing that he did not mean to be offended, "Hello, I don't know what Lord Coolard sent you here for, our village can't accommodate so many distinguished guests. Hearing his words, Culad also laughed, it seems that this Cedric has never seen himself at all, "What's your name?".
Currad asked with a smile, and this was exactly what Cedric meant, he was here to delay the army, so that Tiara could prepare for the ambush "Cedric, I don't know what your name is, my lord?" Cedric's voice was humble and polite, like the tone of an administrator in Moonlight City.
Kurad sighed slightly, looked left and right, and after seeing that there was nothing abnormal, he replied with a smile, "Kurad." As soon as his words fell, Cedric was taken aback, he would not have thought that Kurad would personally come to exterminate them, nor did he think that the seemingly kind old man in front of him was Kurad, although the nobility and that kind momentum could be seen from the armor on his body, but Cedric still did not expect it, he couldn't help but be stunned, showing a surprised expression.
Seeing this, Culad walked over slowly and patted Cedric on the shoulder without warning, like two long-lost friends. "Oh, Cedric, lad, you can be more energetic by washing your head. "This... Adult ......" Looking at the appearance of Kurad, he couldn't think of the word brutal at all, and Cedric was speechless for a while.
Cedric was so close to Kurad that he was extremely nervous, and he was cranky for a while, he wanted to pull out his knife and kill Kurad directly, but Kurad greeted him with a smile, so he couldn't do it for a while, not to mention that the mighty army behind him would rush up at any time and chop himself to pieces, and finally he took his hand away from his waist and saluted Kurad tremblingly.
"Big... Your Excellency ...... "All right, no need to be polite, young man, I ask you, what about the rest of you?" It was a moment before Cedric came to his senses and waved his hand to the town of Tyre with a blank expression. "Okay, take me to meet them. With that, Kurad was about to go inside.
Seeing this, Cedric hurriedly knelt down on one knee, and immediately made Currad wonder for a while, "What is this for?" "My lord, I heard that you are here to encircle and suppress our ......" He said directly to the point, but Curad just smiled and turned around to help him up, "Child, since you have heard, I will tell you the truth, the black prince did order me to attack you, but I don't want to do it, you are a good age, when I was your age, I was still a robber in the mountains." Kurad laughed.
His words made Cedric's heart soften even more, "What should the adults do with us?" Seeing his worried look, Culad patted him on the shoulder again, "It's okay, young man, you go to live in Prado, I protect you, the black prince doesn't dare to do anything to you, to tell you the truth, Conses also grew up under my watch." ”
Cedric nodded silently, his mind racing, and it quickly occurred to him that Kurad was preparing to receive the Order's mercenaries into his account, but this was also a heinous mistake. "What's wrong, kid, don't you welcome me?" asked Kurad softly.
At this time, Cedric hurriedly shook his head, "Please, Lord Kurad...... He helped Kurad and walked straight to Tyre Town, and the hundred-man army behind him also slowly moved, and followed the two of them into Tyre Town.
In this small village, there is only one main road leading to the town hall, and there are dozens of small houses with blue bricks and gray tiles on both sides, which must be extra emotional if you travel here on a sunny day, but in the silence of the night, there is a faint conveyance of a chilling murderous atmosphere.
Kurad, who had been in battle for a long time, felt that something was wrong as soon as he arrived here, it was so quiet that he could even hear the breathing of people nearby. But he was still calm, and secretly gestured to the officer on the side, and when the officer came to his side, he whispered something to him, so that Cedric, who was walking in front, did not hear clearly. Still leading the Kurad, he strolled to the town hall.
Cedric politely invited Culard to sit in Jack's place, and he stood to the side, when Coolard looked at him suspiciously, "Young man, what about the rest of you?" "This ......" saw his nervousness, and Currad waved his hand, "Don't be nervous, you can sit too." Cedric nodded and sat down.
"Lord Kurad, can I ask you a question first?" "Hehe, just ask, it's okay. At this time, Cedric coughed twice, and then asked, "Lord Kurad, under the command of the Black Prince, he destroyed the Rose Swamp, but why did he attack the Straits of the Stars for no reason, my lord, is the next step to attack Silver Spirit City, so as to rule the north in one fell swoop?"
Hearing this, Kurad's face sank a little, since Cedric could say so much, it could be seen that he was a small boss here, thinking of this, Kurad still maintained a calm appearance. "I'm recovering the realm for the king, I don't want these unscrupulous lords to turn against the black prince after the old king is gone, at least I'm alive, and I won't let them do that. ”
Kurad is telling the truth about this, because during the lifetime of the white-haired Sitis, Kurad was his right and left hand, although Kurad was arrogant and unreasonable when he was young, and often caused trouble, but he was loyal to only one person in his life, and that was the white-haired Sitis. But when he said it now, Cedric scoffed a little, as if Culad was hiding his intentions.
Listening to Currad's words, Cedric still looked out of the door from time to time, for fear that the ambushed mercenaries of the Order would be discovered again, but all he saw was that Currad's troops were standing solemnly on the road, and the officer-like man was standing at the door of the town hall.
"Son, I know about Olga, I'm sorry for that, can you tell me who your leader is now?" said Kurad impatiently, obviously not wanting to be here too long, "It's me, my lord. Upon hearing this, Kurad slapped the table on the face and burst out laughing, which made the table tremble slightly, as if it would shatter with a single effort.
"Okay, then I'll be straightforward, I can come here in person just to invite you back, I believe that in Prado, even if the Black Prince sends a large army, he will not dare to do anything to you. Cedric hesitated for a moment, then suddenly raised his head, and a pair of sharp eyes looked at Culad without fear, "What if we don't want to go back with you?"
At this time, Kurad sneered, suddenly his eyes widened, and he grabbed the table with one hand, only to see him suddenly exert force, and he flipped the table against the wall and shattered it. "This is what will happen to you!" Hearing the voice inside, the officer standing at the door hurriedly drew his sword and walked in, looking warily at Cedric who was sitting on the side.
Seeing the way Currad turned his face, the deep impression in Cedric's heart was suddenly swept away, only to see that Cedric got up silently, bowed to Currad at this time, and walked out silently. The officer was about to stop him, but he saw Currad wave his hand, he thought that Cedric had been frightened by himself at this time, and went to discuss it with his companion, so he did not stop him.
No matter how tempting the terms offered by Kurad were, Cedric would not agree, because at this time the dominant person was Izzy, and all the focus was on Izzy. Even if Kurad is really a good person, he can't abandon Itzy's plan because of this, not to mention that Kurad's desire to unify the north is already well known, no matter how amiable he is, it is hypocritical friendliness. Thinking of this, he clenched his hands into fists and secretly made up his mind.
Cedric stood in front of the village hall and took a deep breath, "Kill!" he shouted, and the officer and Kurad immediately ran out and looked at Cedric with their backs to him, and the army also looked at each other for a while, not knowing what it meant. After a moment, Cedric looked around him and there was still silence, and then countless pairs of incredible eyes shone on him.
Seeing this, Kurad laughed out loud, "It seems that your companion has abandoned you, come on, take it for me!" The officer stepped forward with his sword, and Cedric hurriedly pulled out his twin knives from his waist and shouted again, but there was still no movement. At this time, he fixed his eyes on those houses, and saw that he didn't know when, and the doors of the houses were blocked by people with sundries.
At this time, the officer used a long sword from behind to hold Cedric's neck, and Currad also walked around to Cedric, still smiling at him, and now Currad's smile was no longer so kind and kind in Cedric's eyes, but more hideous and terrifying. "Young man, if you surrender, at least you can escape this fate, not to mention that I don't want to kill you. Hearing Coolard's words, Cedric refused to reply, and the officer behind him immediately cursed angrily, "Damn it, don't give face." ”
Cedric shouted again, a tearing cry that soared into the sky. The mercenaries of the Order in the houses on the left and right kicked and pounded on the door, but the door remained unmoved. Seeing the violent trembling of the doors of several rooms, several soldiers would immediately rush up and block them with their bodies, so that no matter how much they tossed inside, they could not rush out, and because of the narrowness of the windows, there was no other way out.
At this time, Kurad was also a little angry, he raised his hand and slapped Cedric in the face, looking at him with an angry expression, "I wanted to give you a chance, now you give me a good look!" said Kurad waved his hand to the army behind him, and immediately the soldiers raised their torches and threw them at the top of the house.
The roof is made of straw and wood, and the moment it meets the torches, the fire soars into the sky...... No!" Cedric shouted, but as soon as he was about to struggle, the officer behind him slammed his sword against his neck, and a trace of blood flowed out as the flesh scraped slightly.
At the moment of the fire, the doors of each room shook violently again, but the soldiers outside the door pressed their bodies against it. At this time, I saw a house not far away, and suddenly there was a violent noise, and two soldiers and piles of miscellaneous items instantly scattered along with the broken door.
Under this tremendous force, the two soldiers flew several steps away, fell to the ground and rolled twice in a row, and finally stopped. At this time, Cedric hurriedly looked up at the door, and saw her standing in the doorway, dressed in silver-white armor and holding a cold, sharp sword. The golden hair was accompanied by the sky-high anger, fluttering in the wind, and the slightly bitten red lips revealed endless killing intent.
"Tiara ......".
