Chapter 5 The Imperial Army

Today, however, he still has a different opinion of Bird, at least he still has the basic condition of being a bard, which is erudition, because the "Rebellion of the Wild Lions" incident was only heard by chance when he had the privilege of attending a private dinner party of an old nobleman, and it is not as detailed as Bird is today.

At this moment, a man in black armor pushed open the door of the tavern, the black iron helmet completely covered the man's face so that it was unrecognizable, but Bird recognized that it was the captain of the entire militia escort in Anxi Town, Bird could often see that he was always at the forefront of the militia patrols, and no one had ever seen his real face. I heard that this man used to be a famous lone mercenary, and was rescued by Willy, the political officer, when his life was in danger during an expedition, but he left a fatal scar on his body and his horror, so he wore a helmet all year round and did not show his true face.

When the man entered the door, he first glanced at the tavern, and when he saw where Willy was, he didn't care about Balke, who came to greet him, and walked straight towards Willy's location. Because he was wearing heavy armor, every time this person took a step, the floor of the old man's tavern in Xi Bastian made a creaking sound, this person walked very rhythmically, although he walked very quickly but not panicked, the constant collision and friction of heavy armor attracted some of the more alert guests.

Seeing that the man had already entered the store, suddenly a man stood up, and walked quickly towards the door of the tavern, as if there was something urgent. The man in heavy armor reacted quickly and directly held the person down, and a deep voice came from the black iron helmet that was already a little white, "Drink well, I didn't come to trouble you today, I always have to give you Daddy's face", the person who was pressed quickly wiped the sweat that kept coming out of his forehead, and picked up the wine glass to try to hide his panic, but the trembling hands and the spilled wine directly exposed it, and the old man was grinning non-stop.

The noise from the heavily armored man had already attracted the attention of Bird and Willy, and the heavily armored man saw that Willy was looking at him, so he didn't care about anything else, and quickened his pace to Willy's side, whispering something softly, while his eyes were still looking around, as if he was always on alert.

After a whisper, Willy, the administrative officer, stood up in a panic and directly tore off the napkin draped over his beard, and without caring about the pain, he quickly left the Black Bear Tavern with the heavily armored man.

"Scott, you soft egg, you still said Captain Pablo before, then you can't help it, why did you just see Captain Pablo like a little lamb who has no one to protect him" The tavern is always a place of happiness and excitement, and all the things just now seem to be fleeting, and everyone starts talking about what just happened, mocking Scott who was about to run away when he just saw the heavily armored man Pablo.

"Scott, you will change your name to the soft egg lamb of Anxi Town in the future" The man named Scott blushed, shouted a few words and fled the scene.

Seeing that the fun was gone, they began to urge Bird to tell a new story. Bird was thinking about what to say when someone pushed open the door of the tavern and shouted "Something happened to the convoy that Gal was leading back last night" without taking a breath, which immediately drew the attention of the entire tavern again.

Taking the opportunity to pour two sips of wine to slow down for a while, the person who had just reported the news continued: "This morning, some convoys that got up early and left found the convoy led by Gal who left last night not far from the Anxi River Valley. ”

This news immediately detonated the entire tavern, "Don't talk nonsense, in the past few decades, I have never heard of robbers in the vicinity of Anxi Town, and this Anxi River Valley is only less than an hourglass time away from Anxi Town. "It is true that I was part of the convoy that left in the morning, and I was now in a hurry to report the news, and the convoy had already departed when I arrived. ”

At this time, someone pushed open the door of the tavern and shouted, "Emperor ** is here, Emperor Alze** has appeared in Anxi Town." Suddenly, the entire tavern was crowded, and countless people hurriedly stood up and wanted to leave the tavern, even Anxi Town.

As a mercenary or a hunter, you may commit some things to a greater or lesser extent, but no one investigates them in detail and no one pursues them. But today, there is an emperor ** who appeared in this small Anxi Town, and people have to wonder if something happened to arrest him. One was to doubt whether the news was correct, and the other was afraid of being caught, so they quickly left the tavern. Bird couldn't help but admire the wit of the old man of Xi Basten, and asked these mercenaries and hunters to pay in advance, otherwise they would lose a lot today.

Suddenly, the tavern that had just been overcrowded was left with only a few lonely people, and Bird was one of them. He was sure that the two men were telling the truth, for he had heard the whole thing clearly as the heavily armored man whispered to Willy, the chief officer.

"The emperor ** came to Anxi Town, and he passed through the Anxi River Valley and saw the convoy of the don't rob, and now he has arrived not far from Anxi Town."

And the reason why Willy was so flustered, Bird was probably in a hurry to explain that there were no robbers in Anxi Town under his control, and the accident of this convoy was purely accidental.

Bird remembered the young man who had greeted him last night, called Hai or something, by the way, Hayden, maybe it was the convoy, and Bird remembered the deep reel mark of the leading carriage last night.

Old Man Shillstine and Balk were sorting out the scraps left behind by those who had left in a panic, and even the two cooks who worked in the back kitchen came out to help. They had to carefully separate the leftovers, the ones that were edible again, and the ones that were of no value. Old Man Xi Bastian will distribute the remaining edible food in the tavern to some children or elderly people who can't afford to eat anything good for a certain period of time.

The continuous sound of horses' hooves sounded from outside the tavern, black heavy armor with silver edging, red long sword with red blood trough, and brown mountain horses from the Alzer Empire wearing thin chain mail, which was the standard attire of the Alze Emperor**, neatly appeared from Bird's field of vision, and stepped over the long stone slab next to the tavern.

"It seems that something has happened," the old man sighed on the side, "The last time I saw the emperor ** was decades ago, a team of emperor ** walked into the Anxi Forest, and then it never appeared again." ”
