Chapter Ninety-Seven: Land Grants

PS: A low-level mistake was made, the Witcher Milestone has been completed.

The first is Abelardo.

The second is just the werewolf that Hans solves.

The third one is the daytime demon that Fryn resolved, which has been modified above.

...

Alley mouth.

The two of them sat on the ground.

Scott said with some remorse, "We shouldn't have run, that young lady is still inside." ”

John said with a nonchalant face: "You can see what she is dressed and know that it is a noble noble lady, and you have saved her with all your might—who will raise your parents?" ”

"Besides, didn't someone run over in a hurry just now, look at the clothes, it should also be two nobles, if they can deal with the evil spirits, they don't need the two of us, if they can't deal with it, our brothers will take two more lives."

"People like us, let's be honest and be our own big soldiers."

In the alley, there was a sudden sound of footsteps.

The group walked out of the alley.

Scott was a little surprised: "Miss, are you okay?" ”

The aristocratic girl waved her hand: "Of course it's okay, it's just a little evil spirit, and it's been dealt with - thank you for your concern, kind young man." ”

The aristocratic lady whispered a few words to the knight lord beside her.

The knight approached them: "Good day, two warriors, I am Lord of Yogrüsburg, Grand Master of the Royal Order, Lothar von Habsburg. Thank you for my ... My sister's concern, I would like to ask you a few questions. ”

"You're Baron Lothar?"

John was a little excited, "Just ask, and we'll tell you if we know." ”

"Do you know anything about this evil spirit?"

"I seem to know something."

"Like?"

John nodded, "Yes, I'm not sure - at the end of last year, the captain of the city guard, Liash, raped a little Jewish girl, and later killed the whole family, and the house in this alley was the home of the Jewish girl.

Nothing happened, but not long ago, the new owner of the house was found dead next to the well. Since then, someone has died near the alley every two days. ”

"If you want me to see, that little girl is too resentful, and she wants to take revenge when she comes back from the dead."

Lothar nodded thoughtfully, it seemed that it was not controlled by a wizard or other transcendent person behind the scenes.

"Nobody cares about this?"

John said helplessly: "Hey, less than ten people have died, where can this kind of thing alarm the noble lords, a priest came to look at it twice, and then went back." ”

"Okay, thank you for the information."

Lothar and the others were about to leave.

Scott suddenly spoke, "My lord, can I join your knights as a soldier?" ”

Lothar was a little surprised, "Why do you have this idea?" Fighting with the Knights, the probability of dying is not small, on the contrary, if you stay in Montreal, there is a high probability that you will not have to worry about your life. ”

Scott blushed: "My lord, I don't want to be just a city guard forever, I will have a better future with you." ”

John tugged at his clothes, trying to dissuade him, but he didn't dare to speak.

"Okay, go to my officer, he will give you a sergeant position, even if it is a reward for you."

Sergeants are not so easy to serve in the Knights, and most newcomers can only start as civilians who transport baggage.

"Thanks... Thank you, sir! ”

Scott stole a glance at Fringilla, then hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look again.

Oh my God, there are such beautiful girls in the world?

The reward for completing the Witcher's milestone was not opened by Lothar.

He first rented many inns in the city to house his soldiers.

Although it was possible to camp outside the city, the simple tents and marching beds were not so comfortable.

Lothar was willing to let his soldiers rest for a while.

A long march is like a taut bowstring, and the soldiers need a good rest to regain their combat effectiveness.

"Let's go, let's go shopping, we haven't given you a gift yet."

Lothar said to the expressionless Prajna.

...

Fort Calle.

The tragic siege battle has lasted for three whole days.

Count Renard looked around with his sword on his shoulder.

A corpse with various forms of death, scattered across the city walls.

The scorching heat had caused the corpses to rot and grow maggots, and he knew that if this continued, even if Fort Calle was not breached, the people inside would die of the plague.

Not far away.

Saracen craftsmen, as if they were assembling furniture, assembled large siege machines outside the city.

Siege towers covered with iron, battering rams, giant trebuchets three meters high... These powerful siege machines put tremendous pressure on the fortified city defenses of Calleburg.

Outside the city, a dense crowd of Saracen soldiers was making a collective pilgrimage to the sun.

The Zoroastrian clergy, in front of the soldiers, proclaimed the horrific massacre of the former pilgrims during the storming of Jerusalem.

"When the Franks conquered Jerusalem, they slaughtered men and women, young and old, indiscriminately, by throwing children's heads against the walls and picking out unformed babies with spears and spears."

"Let the infidel captives burn the bodies of their own faithful, and in the end, along with themselves, they will be burned to ashes."

"We must remember this hatred and return to them all the slaughter that the Franks have inflicted on us when the city is broken!"

The clergy tirelessly tell the story of a history that has been around for more than 100 years.

It really works.

The soldiers, from all tribes and chiefdoms, were so demoralized that they rushed to the city and slaughtered the hateful Franks.

In fact, the victims of the Jerusalem massacre are probably in their early 10,000s, and many of them have been sold into slavery and escaped Jerusalem alive through various channels.

But the Western clergy who wrote about these events overstated the figure by considering the massacre of the infidels to be a great achievement.

And the clergy under Saladin's command also regarded this as a canonical record of the evil deeds of the Crusaders.

Count Renard said with some physical and mental exhaustion: "Send someone to negotiate with Saladin, we need time to repair and burn all the corpses in the city, and if this continues, Calleburg will become a dead city." ”

The soldier took the order and left.

After a while, he raised his white flag, went down from the city in a hanging basket, and walked towards the army of the Saracens.

"Hasn't Humphrey's Montreal army arrived yet?"

Renard asked suddenly.

No one responded to him.

He scolded angrily, "Damn little brute, is he going to watch me die with his mother in Caleborg?" ”

"Send at once to urge the king's army, and say, the castle of Calle, which can no longer be held, and whoever is the first to come to his aid, I will give him my fiefdom in Hebron!"

Count Renard gritted his teeth.
