Chapter 497: Holy Seal Cross
The Holy Seal Cross is a very small town, the population of the town is not large, the business is not flourishing, it is a relatively closed place, surrounded by mountains in the south, less than thirty miles to the north is the small country of Dolan, the east and west lines are mud and stone paths, such an environment is very suitable for secession.
Seven pillars and a plaque are considered the façade of the town, and further on, they are all unobstructed, with houses on both sides lined up one after another, and there are not too many pedestrians on the spacious streets.
At this time, it is already dusk, and there is only a night market here for ten days and half a month, so the townspeople often go home early, sleep until dawn the next day, and continue to work.
The guards on tall horses patrol the streets from time to time, this is just a façade, everyone knows that this place is very safe, not long ago the invasion of the six hells and the disaster of the resurrection of evil spirits did not spread here.
Roger glanced at a restaurant and for some reason, the two-story restaurant was so cold that he wasn't the only one in the restaurant until the owner brought the noodles.
Roger casually took a sip and asked, "Boss, your noodles taste good, why is the business so cold",
The boss glanced at him, put down the pen and smiled: "Young man, you are a foreigner, right?"
Roger nodded: "I'm from Dolan, I'm here to transport some sesame oil",
The boss laughed and said: "No wonder you don't know, this place has been a little unpeaceful recently, some time ago an army came out of nowhere, they went to the mayor's house without saying a word to unload his position, and changed the name of this place to 'Holy Medal Cross'",
"And then the mayor won't be convinced, and fight him to the end?" asked Roger.
The boss shook his head: "How can the mayor have that ability? He recognized the position when he was relieved, but another army came last month." There were not many of them, but they were all very powerful, and they all wanted to take charge of the town, so they fought fiercely."
Roger said: "But I don't see a lot of wars outside."
The boss said: "They don't fight fiercely. It seems that they all have some scruples", he lowered his voice and said: "Moreover, a few days ago, another group of people came, this group of people only has more than thirty people, but they are all very tight, and the people on both sides are afraid of them, so the fight is getting less and less, but it is estimated that they will still fight in the next few days",
Roger laughed, "So there are three parties now?".
"Shhh, be quiet, don't say I didn't warn you, the last group to come is upstairs now, you are a foreigner, it's better to be careful", the boss made a silent motion.
Roger nodded in gratitude.
Glancing upstairs, there was not even the sound of cups. They're quiet.
"None of this is actually nothing, but it's big when I hear about the movement outside."
The dishes upstairs were all served, and the boss was idle and idle, and he got up with Roger again.
Roger said, "Outside?",
The boss nodded: "In the Holy City, I heard that there is a demon named 'Roger' who killed all the refugees in the Holy City. Oh, what a wit of iniquity",
I didn't expect him to say himself.
In fact, these words did not wronged him at all, and at the end of the battle of St. Panin, the five thousand civilians were indeed killed by Alice.
Roger laughed, "Oh, why did he kill so many people? He can't be a murderer, right?"
The boss shook his head: "Who knows? Some people say that he is a butcher who has been notorious for a long time, and some people say that he actually does not want to kill people, he kills resurrected demons and gods",
"It's okay if he really kills the evil ghost, if he kills God, my mother, how dare he have?",
He made an exaggerated gesture of prayer, brushing his hands on his forehead and chest, and muttering something in his mouth.
Roger was amused by his actions, and said: "It's a character with mixed reputations, just like Alex the Great back then, some people say that he is an iron-blooded butcher, some people say that he is an emperor through the ages, these are better left to future generations to comment",
As he was talking, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves outside, but the number of listeners didn't seem to be very large.
Roger could hear it clearly, the sound of the horse's hooves coming from the south, and the sound of the wind in the north, as if someone was walking on the roof like the wind.
Soon the sound of swords and soldiers coming over came, and it seemed that the fight was very fierce.
The boss's face changed, and he turned to the door and took out a door panel to block the door.
"Young man, you and I can hide here now, it is estimated that they will be finished in half an hour",
Roger was about to refuse, when he suddenly heard a cold snort from upstairs.
"It's them again",
"Hmph, go",
It was the annoyed voice of a woman, and then a group of people strode down from the stairs, shields and light rifles in their hands, and barely made a sound as they walked.
They were dressed in silver armor, and each wore a pure white angel wing badge on their shoulders, and Roger recognized them at a glance, but they walked in a hurry one by one, and they didn't see Roger.
The woman at the head had a cold temperament, and strode forward and said: "Boss, you don't have to close the door, they can't come here",
After speaking, nearly forty people walked out of the restaurant.
"Yes, yes", the owner stared blankly as they walked out of the restaurant.
Roger stood up and patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'll go out and have a look, the door doesn't have to be closed, they can't hurt you",
He said so, but the sound of swords and soldiers was getting closer and closer, and the two sides were getting closer and closer to the small restaurant.
Roger stood in front of the restaurant with his hands behind his back, watching the men on both sides and the Templars advancing rapidly.
The one in the north galloping and charging on horseback was naturally the Crusaders, although their original green uniforms were all changed to dark blue, but Roger still recognized them at a glance, and the leader Igniz was still so cunning, using the mobility of the cavalry to fight guerrilla warfare, one group of cavalry only charged once, hit and left, and the other team immediately attacked.
On the other side, the white-clothed men were led by two women, who seemed to have known Igniz's tactics for a long time, and led less than three hundred white-clothed men to rush left and right to scatter the cavalry, and their mobility was not weaker than that of the horse-mounted cavalry.
The two sides fought each other, with some of the townspeople closing their doors and some quietly sticking their heads out of their windows to watch the battle.
The Templars soon fought their way into the warband, but neither side paid much attention to them, and continued to fight mobile warfare, expanding the battlefield and getting closer and closer to the small restaurant.
Then, the people who approached the restaurant were silent.
At first no one noticed the inconspicuous place, but soon all three parties noticed the anomaly, and then the battlefield became quieter and quieter, until it finally became silent.
When they saw the face of the man at the door of the restaurant, the faces of the two women who had fought with Igniz changed and they turned and fled. (To be continued......)
