Chapter 112: Watchdog
Today is Harry Hadson's lucky day, at least that's what he thinks. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The fools near El City have listened to the rumors, and they think that the combined army of Grand Duke Lucas Gay and the Knights of the Sun has been defeated, and they are retreating towards El City. So these idiots came to El City for refuge, giving him the opportunity to make a lot of money.
Will Grand Duke Guy be defeated?What are you kidding?Harry thinks these fools are really stupid, but he can't blame them, after all, they don't have the same good luck as themselves, they have met Grand Duke Guy once.
It was at a celebration in the capital five years ago, when Harry, as a representative of the Hudson family, went to present a gift to Grand Duke Gay.
Moonlit silver hair......
Ruby clear eyes ......
Pale skin, long fingers......
Lucas Gay is beautiful, even though he's a man...... A man with amazing beauty. Of course, that's not the point. The point is that when Harry, who is the captain of the knights, stands in front of Grand Duke Guy, he feels a kind of fear that can only be found when facing a beast.
He felt countless sharp teeth biting into his neck, a pair of sharp claws pressed against his chest, and countless swords pressing against his limbs...... If you act rashly, you will die without a whole body.
Harry, though a philistine greedy and mean, is not incompetent. In the forty years since he was knighted, he has participated in hundreds of wars, large and small, and as the eldest son of the Hadson family, he has risen from knight to knight squad leader, then to knight captain, and finally to the defense of the south gate of El City.
Life and death crisis, he doesn't know how many times. But when he faced Lucas Gay, he experienced a sense of fear that he had never felt before...... The threat of death does not frighten a true knight, nor does a powerful enemy. Harry was terrified because he felt that Lucas Gay was not human, but some other creature......
Harry would not have believed that the cowards of the White Cult could defeat Archduke Guy, and that no mortal could defeat him unless there was an obvious divine ......
"Hmph, but thanks to the rumors of Grand Duke Guy's defeat, I was able to make a big profit before I retired. Harry stroked his rough knight's sword and sat behind a makeshift desk at the gate of the South City. The clerk next to him registered the names of those who had entered the city and checked the directions - seventy percent of the civilians had no guides, and they only entered the city at the time of the market.
According to the laws of the Duchy of Gay, it is not possible to enter the city without a guide on weekdays. But there are policies and countermeasures, and there is no way to guide you to pay money...... There is nothing in the world that gold coins are uneven, and if there is, it is a pile of gold coins.
Harry will definitely not do the work of collecting money and threats himself, and will leave it all to his subordinates. In this way, if he is really held responsible, he can also push it all away. The ordinary knight in charge of collecting the money secretly hid a little money, and Harry didn't see it. To be able to climb from an ordinary knight to a knight captain as a collateral heir, and win the respect of the family's descendants, Harry relies not only on his vigorous skills, but also on his sleek and sophisticated behavior.
It was nearly dusk, the sun was setting, and Harry looked at the sky and felt that it was almost time to close the stall. Although he did not believe that the Grand Guild of Guy had fled to Eyre, and indeed there was no military information, his uncle, Doma Hadson, Lord of Eyre, decided to enforce the curfew.
"That's all for today, the curfew is about to begin, and I'm going back to arrange for the night patrol. Harry said to the clerk beside him.
After a moment's hesitation, Harry added: "Tell the supply officer to bring some tents out so that those who haven't had time to enter the city have a place to sleep...... lest this group of fools make trouble. ”
Be a man and leave a line, and see each other in the future. This is Harry's attitude towards life, and with this he climbed to the position of captain of the knights, but because of this attitude, his achievements are limited to this. If he could have been a little more ruthless and vicious, he might have been the knight commander now, but he might also have no bones left......
Just as he was about to get up and leave, Harry saw a knight named Tom walking towards him and winked at him. Tom was born as a commoner, probably because of this, when he became a knight, he regarded wealth as his life, and those who knew him called him "leech".
Harry didn't like Tom, always thinking that Tom was an uneducated nouveau riche, and he asked with obvious displeasure, "Sir Tom, is there anything wrong with you?"
Tom, who had no knightly bearing, leaned into Harry's ear like a thief and said, "I found a gang of fat sheep sneaking into the city......
Harry frowned and asked, "How do you know?"
"Come and see you, Captain Harry. Tom grinned wickedly and pulled Harry into the group, and the two of them came to the line of people entering the city.
Tom gestured to a few people who were talking to the gatekeepers, and Harry looked at it and immediately determined it with years of experience...... It's really a fat sheep, and it's the kind that doesn't want to pay obediently.
Let's see, a little girl with no eyebrows and eyes and five men of different ages will not be doing that kind of business, right? Judging from the way they dress, the young man with red hair and black hair is a mercenary, and the other three middle-aged men are domestic servants......
It was clear that the little girl was a noble lady, and she hired two mercenaries to protect herself, and she carried her luggage with three domestic servants. Presumably, he is a stingy person, and he plans to pretend to be a civilian, so that he can spend less money when he enters the city.
"Hmph...... Pretend not to be like a little, civilians will mercenaries and carry bags?" Harry hated this kind of behavior, as a rich man, wouldn't it be good for you to pay the money and enter the door early?
Harry patted Tom on the shoulder and ordered, "Kill them hard." ”
Tom waited for this, and he didn't dare to go too far without Harry's approval. But now that Harry has spoken...... Hey, it's earned today.
He walked over with his head held high as an old hen that had just laid its eggs. After waving his hand to drive away his colleague who was negotiating with the "fat sheep", he showed a look of disdain on his face and asked, "Which of you has the final say?"
The red-haired mercenary took a step forward and said with a smile, "Hello, I don't know what to call it?"
Tom looked at the sky with his back and said, "Call me Sir Tom." ”
"Oh, Sir Tom......" said the red-haired mercenary with a hesitant expression, "the man who was in line before me just now only paid twenty bits and entered the door, why do you charge ten gold cenars when it is our turn?"
The biz is the currency issued by the Duchy of Gay, and when it is not prefixed, it is a copper coin. If you convert it, it is equivalent to paying only one loaf of bread when you enter the city. And ten Kinsenar is enough for the common people to eat for more than half a year......
"I guess you're misunderstood, how could we charge you ten gold senars, it's so unfair. Tom, pretending to be surprised, smiled very cheaply, and continued, "None of you will want to enter the city without fifty kinsennars. ”
――
"En......"
The bell rings.
"Can I cut him?" said Aluca, looking at the yellow-haired knight in front of him, half-unsheathed. Give him a few tenths of a second, and a single shot can break Tom in two.
Xinong pushed Xing Yan back with his backhand, turned his head and said, "We'd better keep a low profile and not reveal our identities...... If the scouts of the Hill Empire have infiltrated El City, they will most likely come to steal the military orders we carry when they know our identity. ”
"Do you have fifty Kinsenars, then?" asked Aluca, spreading his hands.
Xinon sighed, "Not really, we have to think of something else......
At this time, Tom spoke again, and smiled lewdly, "It seems that you don't want to pay the money...... It's okay if you don't pay the money, leave this little girl in a blue dress, let her accompany me, and I'll let you in, hehehe......"
Mi'er was startled and hid behind Wood's back. Wood touched the cloth bag on his back, the only piece of luggage that hadn't been given to White...... Because inside was a huge two-handed axe. Even the armor of Duke Roland, the leader of the Knights of the Burning Sun, can be cut into scrap iron with an axe......
Tom didn't know that he had caused the killing intent of several abnormal humans, and continued to say, "I advise you to hurry up and decide, the city gate will be closed soon." Pay or pay...... Pick one! I'd like you to make friends. Seeing that this little girl is so thin, there must be no pain, I want to teach you how adults spend the long night......"
"Can I cut him?" said Aruka with his thumb again, pushing the dead out, "I promise to cut him." ”
Xinon raised his forehead in distress and said, "It is a felony to attack a knight for no reason, and we will be arrested......"
Aluka laughed......, "Isn't that just right?
Xinong struggled in his heart for a moment, and sighed, "Okay...... I see what you mean, remember to use the back of the knife. ”
"Gotta ~ order. ”
With a smile on his face, Aluka walked up to Sir Tom and pressed his right hand to the hilt of the Dead's sword. Sir Tom looked at his posture and snorted coldly and said, "Stinky boy...... Do you dare to do it?I advise you to be smarter, do you want to be the enemy of the whole El City......
Before he finished speaking, the bell exploded, and silver light flashed.
Except for Aluca herself, no one could see what was happening.
Poor Sir Tom's breastplate was sunk deep as if it had been hammered with a hammer, and it flew dozens of meters away in the air. The moment he was hit, a mouthful of blood sprayed in the air and he fainted......
"What a fast knife!"
Harry, who was watching from the sidelines, was shocked, he had fought for decades and had never seen a knife so fast. It feels like this knife is a few points faster than a lightning bolt, and it is incredible that it can twist the blade of the knife and attack with the back of the knife at the moment when it draws the knife and slashes people.
"What a ruthless man!"
Because of a few threats, he drew a knife and slashed people in front of more than 20 knights, and after cutting people, he stood calmly in place, with no intention of escaping at all...... It's no longer enough to describe him as audacious.
Harry already knew that he had fallen into bad luck at this time, and he had caused hard stubble, maybe the little girl in the blue dress was the daughter of an underworld boss, and the two mercenaries were outlaws who specialized in black work......
But now it's too late to regret it, and there's only one thing Harry Hadson can do, tear his throat open and shout in the loudest voice he can make: "The enemy ~~~~~~ attack ~~~~~!"
