"Excuse me......"

"Sir...... Excuse me......"

The burning towns, the fleeing inhabitants, the Whispered Castle was filled with terrified crowds, screams and the sound of flames engulfing houses. Tallinnham stopped one resident after another, trying to ask them about Rod's whereabouts. But no one paid attention to him, and everyone was running for their lives. Some abandoned their wives and children, and some ran halfway to the road and were stabbed to death on the spot by thugs who took advantage of the chaos to rob them. Others, because they couldn't run fast with their belongings, were chased by ghouls and ate them......

"Tell me, did you see a man in a manticore cloak?!"

Finally, Tallinnham couldn't take it anymore and grabbed a young man who was running for his life, pinned him against the wall, and held his sword to his throat. So that the man replied in a trembling voice—

"I seem to have seen it...... He ......"

"Where is he?!"

Tallinnham yelled. Sweat mixed with foul-smelling blood flowed down his forehead, and at first glance he looked like an outlaw.

"He went out of town along Main Street...... ...... with a horse-drawn carriage Got into the carriage ......"

The man stammered.

As soon as Tallinnham let him go, the man ran away. A frenzied wolf rushed out of the alley behind him, and Tallinnham twitched his sword without looking back, piercing it with a sword the moment the wolf pounced.

But more ghouls are coming here, as well as some hungry blood slaves. Tallinnam knew that he could kill five or ten ghouls, but he might not have a chance of winning against the Blood Slaves. The situation is getting worse and worse, and he must escape the city in order to find Rod.

He tried to find a horse, and a donkey could do it, but the stables were empty, and the pack horse sensed danger beforehand and ran out like crazy. Those who did not run were also ridden away by the rich. There are very few people like myself who stay and fight. Tallinnam could vaguely see that the dozen or so Krem guards were still fighting in the streets, and they could not retreat. But he didn't have time to pay attention to it so much, if Rhodes was still in the city, he might stay, and now that Rhodes is not here, he will stay and die.

Tallinnam blended into the crowd and squeezed towards the gates. A ghoul jumped from the city gate and landed right into the crowd. In an instant, panicked crowds pushed and trampled on each other, and children and women were trampled on the ground, their heads bleeding. Even Tallinnham was pushed out by the crowd.

Go with the flow and flee all the way. Tallinnam's mind was thinking about how to find Rod, however, there were many carriages out of the city, and it was impossible to ask which carriage Rod was riding.

He retreated into the woods beside the road, exhausted and emaciated. Thinking back to every scene before, he won the trust of the lord in Black Hammer Castle and became his right and left hand, and then he would follow in the future, big and small. Today, these images are uncomfortable to look back on. Rod must be found!Talinnham said to himself.

He struggled to get up, but the hunting ghoul followed...... They smell blood and chase after them, and they don't let go of a living thing...... Tallinnam did not grab the horses and carriages, and by walking and trotting, he would not be able to outrun these monsters.

In the white moonlight, Tallinnham drew the sword of the squire he had with him, the only weapon he had now. There are at least a dozen ghouls who come and hunt themselves. Tallinnam observed the situation, and then weighed his own strength, and found that he could deal with one or two ghouls, but it was impossible to deal with a dozen ghouls at the same time.

"Bear God Ersun...... I dedicate all my body and soul to you, and may you give me light and strength in the darkness...... Help me...... Help me......"

Tallinnam drew his sword and muttered a prayer. In front of him, the ghoul had opened his bloody mouth and pounced, the sword of the attendant in his hand, and Tallinnham stabbed out in the air.

However, the sound of steel tearing flesh was not heard, but instead there was the muffled sound of a blunt object hitting the bone. A silver hammer flew through the air and slammed into the skull of the nearest ghoul, which flew into the air with its head blooming and its brains splattering.

Tallinnam turned to look, and saw the neighing of warhorses in the misty woods. He had thought it was a cavalry team, however, after a moment, he heard clearly, it was just a war horse, and there was only one knight!

Immediately after the silver hammer, there was the sound of the iron chain ball rolling, but it was different from the ordinary iron chain ball, this heavy iron ball was covered with flames, and the red tongue of fire was constantly spraying out from the center of the iron ball, and Tallinnham was watching it, and a bloodthirsty ghoul pounced on him from behind.

The sword of the squire was tossed aside, and Tallinnham could only fight the mad ghoul with both hands. It was so powerful that it took all of Tallinnam's strength to kick it away from him. The ghoul rolled down to the grass beside him, and Tallinnham rushed over to pick up the sword, and when the ghoul pounced again, he fell to his knees with both hands and pierced the ghoul in the abdomen. Black blood poured down his face.

The other ghouls roared and charged at the knight.

I saw a knight in light armor swing a chain ball at the nearest ghoul, and the fiery iron ball smashed into the raging ghoul, igniting it entirely. The knight jumped off his horse, drew his sword from the saddle, and plunged into the body of a ghoul. He grabbed the ghoul who had not yet died, pulled the long sword in his hand from the ghoul's body, and at the same time swung the iron chain ball, the fiery chain ball drew a red arc in the air, strangled the neck of the other ghoul, the knight roared and pulled the chain, the fallen ghoul was directly ripped off the neck, and the whole head flew up and bounced into the grass not far away.

"What are you looking at?," the knight yelled at Tallinnham on the ground, "you want to be their food?"

Tarlinham didn't even have time to ask the other man's name, he turned on his horse, and at the same time, the seasoned human knight stepped on the stirrup and flew on. With a squeeze between his legs, the horse neighed and galloped, crashing into the nearest ghoul and stepping on it, leaving a mess of flesh and meat sauce in its wake......

"Thank you for saving me, friend, are you?"

After moving away from danger, Tallinnham remembered to ask the hero's name. He was indeed a hero, single-handedly, single-handedly killing the ghouls and saving himself. This kind of ruthless role can only be done by one's own lord.

Tallinnham asked curiously, but the other man didn't seem to want to tell him much.

"Knight, wandering knight. ”

He replied. Tarynham hadn't even seen his face clearly, the battle had been so fast that he fell to the ground again, unable to protect himself, and didn't even pay attention to the knight's face. Although he didn't even have a helmet on him.

Tallinnam only noticed that his war horse was not an ordinary war horse, but a strong horse similar to an elven war horse, and it even knew how to assist its master in the battle just now. As if there is a spirit, he is ready to cooperate with the master.

Moreover, his weapon, the seemingly ordinary knight's sword, was actually beautifully crafted, and the blade was so sharp that it seemed to hurt at a glance. The saddle is painted with a pegasus motif.

Although the knight was reluctant to say more, Tarinnham guessed that he was no ordinary wandering knight.

"You saved me, where are we going now?"

Sitting on horseback, Tallinnham asked curiously.

"Get out of here, so they can't find it. ”

The wandering knight returned in a deep voice.

"Hmm...... But I have one more thing to do. ”

Tallinnham said.

"What's the matter?"

"I'm going to find my lord, I'm a squire. ”

Tallinnham returned.

"Tell me where your lord is, and I'll take you to him. ”

The knight said cheerfully. However, Tallinnham looked helpless.

He ...... I don't know where he is...... He was in the castle just now, but we parted when the battle began. ”

Tallinnham was a little embarrassed. He sat in the back, still unable to see the knight's face. It's just that the deep voice makes him feel grounded, this is definitely an old man. Isn't it true that wandering knights are generally young people? Tallinnam knew that whether it was the noble knights of Kislev, or the Imperial knights, or the wandering knights of Bretonnia, they were all young people. They are in their twenties to their thirties, and few are over forty. Over forty years of age were very old knights, all of whom enjoyed a certain status in the legion, or served as basic officers. Basically, there are no forty-year-olds who still wander around, right?" Tallinnam thought to himself......

"You're a good squire, and you've been separated from your lord as soon as the battle begins, and you can't find where your lord is. Haha......"

The wandering knight laughed loudly, as if mocking the young man on horseback.

"No, things are not what you think, we are facing a terrible battle, and when the war began, there was a huge disparity in strength, and my lord told me to find reinforcements......"

Tallinnham struggled to explain.

"What about the reinforcements?"

The Wandering Knight asked.

"All Dead......

Tallinnam whispered back. He was a little embarrassed, but it was......
