Chapter Seventy-Four: The Entry of Heresy

Outside the barony of Widdy's borders, a cloud of dust formed in the air over the huge procession, and one by one the savages with spears and shields and beast skulls on their heads cleared the way in front of the procession, and four savage animal trainers on tigers crossed forward on both sides of the procession, probing for possible traps.

A sign standing in front of the wheat field was brought back by them when they returned, passed to the wizard phalanx behind the wildlings, and passed by them to the hands of the four witch elders, and finally to the carriage.

"A place of refuge for the Dark Sage?" The immature voice in the carriage was slightly puzzled, "Have there been new forces here recently?" ”

"No, this Sage is an apprentice in the Land of Starfall, and he has done a few more brilliant things before." "He's propagating his ideas on the edge of the Great Badlands, and may have made this area his sphere of influence." ”

"How many believers does he have?" Elizabeth wondered.

"No, the serfs mostly used him as a bard to pass the time." Lucy replied.

"It's all tricks that can't be put on the table, such as a certain wizard who often boasts in front of the lord that he can prevent disasters from happening." Elder Cyrianna said, "It's like the Ranger was hinting at danger before, so let's ignore it. ”

"Young people always want to make a difference, but they shouldn't hit us with ideas." There was no joy in the archduchess's voice, and her white arm threw the wooden sign out of the car, "Massana doesn't need a sage. ”

"Your wisdom is what leads us to the Tower of Eternity, our faith and pursuit." Elder Siriana bowed and said, "We have tens of thousands of those boys, and they have a humble destiny to lose themselves in front of a beautiful witch and then be sent at their command. ”

This rare episode did not stop the progress of the forest witches, and soon they were surprised by the scattered bounty hunters scattered in the village, these bounty hunters who had completed the final payment hesitated several times, and finally watched the heresy spread in the territory from a distance and chose to leave, they were all for money, but the heresy that formed the army did not count.

How could they go against the army like a guard, and if the price given was still heretical, the count would have gone bankrupt.

The leaders who felt the passage of the army outside hid in their thatched huts early, and the braver ones could lie on their stomachs to look outside through the cracks in the windows, and the messengers of the Holy Ones had announced the coming of war for them to go out and hide, but who could leave the land where they had lived for decades?

Although these lords are counted as the property of the nobles, they are not valuable assets, they are like tool men who grow up in this land, if they change masters, they will still work for them, so the lords are generally rarely involved in war.

Religious wars are excluded.

The knights in the wooden castle nervously watched the army of heretics approaching like a tide, and it was too late to lead their horses away at this time and this distance.

At this time, they can only hope that these wild people can let them go straight to the baron's castle, the wooden castle has little defense at all, and at the same time secretly complains that the lord really has no head, the enemy's army is so open, how can the castle in the village not be discovered?

A dozen knights held their breath and hid behind the castle gates, they looked nervously at the gates, waiting and praying, the feeling was like hiding from the monsters outside the gates, and they swore that if they escaped this time, they would leave and never return to this place that would not give them safety.

The weapons in their hands were sweating, the roars and footsteps outside even crossed the castle, and the knights waited for fate in hesitation and confusion, but they did not realize that behind them, one vampire after another had fallen behind them, quietly picking up blowguns and fire oil.

Screams rang from the wooden castle that the army had bypassed, and the thick black smoke burned as the decoration of the army's advance.

Elder Ciliana in the rear team looked at the dark nobles who jumped out of the burning castle, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, and she said to the dark nobles waiting around her, "That's it." ”

The dozen or so small castles that surrounded the division of Baron Wedi collapsed as the army passed by, and the count began to lose a large number of people before he even fired a bow and arrow, and the arrangement was destroyed, and the tide of heretics easily gathered under the Baron's castle almost without any hindrance.

"The first battle is particularly important, and it will show whether our future war will be smooth." From the castle, Hilton looked at the army on the other side and said to Fender, "We'll go out of the city and line up after the scattered bounty hunters have fled to the back." ”

"I'll lead the guards out in a while." Little Red Riding Hood pushed his helmet away and said as he looked at the endless procession of dust that had stepped out of the dust.

"My knights and I have been on the battlefield, and we are not too scared by such a battle." Baron Fender looked at the Count and Little Red Riding Hood, "Nor will we be led away by bounty hunters, we have the glory of nobility." ”

"The courage of a knight is enough to deal with those murderous enemies, and the majesty of the lord is worth defending with our lives." Baron Weidi on the side looked at the smoke rising in the distance one by one, and a black cloud was forming in the sky, blocking the sun, and his heart was dripping blood, "The wizard on the other side doesn't seem to have given us a chance to negotiate between the two kings. ”

It must be said that Weidi regretted very much, he regretted that he did not resolutely oppose when the Count placed the guards in the wooden castle, so that he made the mistake of passively sending him to death.

"These wild people who have been in the forest for a long time! They simply do not understand the true meaning of war! ”

The Earl also noticed that the side of the opposing team was widening, and the small castles that were arranged together were ablaze, and the other party was completely uneasy about playing cards, which meant that even if they were captured, they might not be able to enjoy the possibility of redeeming themselves, looking at the witch formation from the sidelines and saying, the Count roared angrily, "Your Highness the Sage gives us a blessing, I will make the death of these invading heretics ugly!" ”

"Yes." He nodded, planted the flag of the Night Stalker Order, and recited a prayer that no one could understand when the vassals and guards gathered in front of him, but his voice was muffled and frustrated, accompanied by his yelling, it was actually inspiring.

"I feel the power that the darkness has given me!" At the end of the blessing, Baron Fender roared, and then walked down the castle to lead the knights into battle.

Seeing this, he called out to Muer and the wild man, who were eating noodles, "In a moment, you two will leave with Baron Fender's team, and tell Ryan that you can go." ”
