Chapter 41: Monsters
The Farrell family, although its reputation has suddenly grown in recent years, is not a nouveau riche, but an ancient family that has been quiet for a while and has been revived again. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The current patriarch, Earl Jon Farrell, lived a dissolute life in his youth to the point that even the notoriously corrupt nobles could not look down on him.
Don't say ** or like young girls, which are common rotten things in the aristocracy, the most "breathtaking" thing is that this guy is actually playing a baroness at the same time, and also did it to her very handsome young son......
As a result, the baron saw this heinous scene when he returned, and before he could draw his sword to cut the bastard, he could not breathe, and he was angry with himself.
The nearby aristocrats often put Jon's name on their lips during that time.
Either to remind others to watch their wife, daughter, and son not to take advantage of that bastard, or to laugh at the thousand-year-old Farrell family for having such a bastard heir.
Jon, who has such a serious notoriety, was already warned by the elders of the family when he was not yet eighteen years old that if he did not restrain himself, he would be completely stripped of his inheritance.
However, it seems that a miracle has happened, and on his eighteenth birthday, Jon Farrell seems to be a different person after having some fun with a large number of lovers.
He disowned most of his lovers and threw himself into the affairs of the family - strangely enough, he had abandoned a lover who would cry for days and even commit suicide in despair, but now none of them objected.
And one of them was a young man, who became Jon's future retainer, and could be called his right-hand man.
However, after all, this is also a private matter, and not many people will go to those lovers to get to the bottom of it.
Since then, Jon has worked hard to restore the family to its former glory and reclaim the long-lost title of earl.
Soon after, he led his family into a distant rebellion, miraculously winning a crucial battle when everyone was not looking favorably on him, eventually expanding a large additional territory.
From a terrifying prodigal to today's wise count, it can be said that in the minds of the nearby nobles, it is completely an inspirational image.
The children of the Farrell family were also influenced by this, full of vigor and enterprising, and followed the example of Earl Jon.
Even if someone talks about the story of debauchery back then, they will only be dismissed by them casually saying "young and romantic".
Especially those who had relatives who were fascinated by Jon back then, they almost blew their lungs when they heard such words.
But there is no way to refute it easily, because those who have become lovers will say in unison afterwards that it is her own youth and naivety, and even have a strange mentality of not regretting being disliked...... Now that I think about it, I guess I was also deceived by the evil forces, right?
If the children of the Farrell family knew that most of Earl Jon's great achievements came from a deal with some "devil", then the expression would be extremely exciting, right?
Unfortunately, they didn't have that chance.
Laughing with relief, old Brayton was too old and not very strong, so he did not rush to the front, but he simply turned over and dismounted with the help of his squire, and then raised his bow and arrows.
The flaming arrows were not fired at any specific enemy, but at the roof of one of the houses of the servants on the flank—the Farrell family did not have the luxury of tiling the servants' houses, which were covered with thatch, and were immediately set on fire.
When the servants woke up in the middle of the night, they suddenly saw a fire, and immediately like a hornet that had exploded its nest, it was a mess, and the people of the Farrell family were shocked into chaos.
Seeing this scene, the old man smiled with satisfaction.
In ordinary aristocratic battles, it is absolutely impossible to use such moves, and even if you just want to kill a few more nobles, you will be sadly considered too cruel by other nobles, even if they are not related.
The convenience of setting fires can only be used against bandits - at that time, you had to worry about mountain fires, how could it be so convenient today.
But now it is different, in the name of God, this is a sacred crusade against the devil traders, and no matter what tricks are used, it is just and justified!
Bishop Auburn saw his actions, but he didn't say anything.
After all, the other party took the initiative to help, and it is not surprising that he refused to rush to the front line to fight to the death, and it is not bad to be able to play some diversion role, even if it is just responsible for surrounding the vicinity and preventing suspicious elements from entering and leaving.
As a member of the Holy Sect, even one's own companions should be properly vigilant, beware of their corruption and degeneration, not to mention the nobles who do not have a few truly clean people?
It is also recorded in the Holy Scriptures that a saint once said that it is more difficult for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven than for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle.
At the critical moment, it is natural to rely on the pious young men who have been cultivated by the Holy Sect itself for many years.
Although there were only a few dozen people, when they raised the blood flag and charged together, this squadron of the knights was almost worth hundreds of elite soldiers.
The gate was blasted open with a special explosive potion, and the knights swarmed in, and the hurried guards in the manor were taken by surprise before they could even assemble.
Especially when they saw that the enemy was actually a force on the side of the Holy Sect, even if they were not devout believers, they would feel terrified of the behemoth of the Holy Sect from the bottom of their hearts, and there were not a few people who hurriedly dropped their weapons and surrendered on the ground.
The knights paid no attention to them, and if they were on the road, they rode over them with the surrendered men, and without stopping, they rushed straight to the mansion in the depths of the manor.
However, there were also a small number of people who did not hesitate to resist after seeing the knights of the Holy Sect.
Just in front of the knight's charge, more than forty people suddenly appeared—or rather, humanoid monsters.
They were a head taller than normal humans, wrapped in large, slender white robes, and their eyes were faintly red, and their faces were hideously twisted, which was definitely not possessed by humans in any way.
These tall monsters, armed with heavy weapons such as long-handled battle axes or war hammers and maces, or heavy tower shields, charged at the knights.
Some of the monsters were still clutching fishing nets and ropes in their hands, as if they were ready to trip over several knights.
"Hmph, wishful thinking!"
Benedict shouted, and five knights skillfully took out sealed glass bottles from their waist bags, shook them a few times, and threw them over there.
After the glass bottle was shaken, the contents seemed to react, and it didn't take long for a blinding glow to radiate in midair! )
