Catalog 293: The Flame That Is About to Be Ignited

It was the morning of the seventh day after Bai Ye left Winterfell, and a snowy horse carrying a seriously wounded knight knocked on the gate of Winterfell, and then, quickly alarmed the dormant city, the knight came from the rear refuge, which meant that the old and weak women and children who had settled there in various villages may have been attacked by some unknown people.

"Holy Maiden!" The door of the council hall was opened, and the Holy Maiden, Arthur, Rouxin, and Fast and others rushed out of it, and at first glance they saw the knight who was barely standing there by being helped, "It's the knight under the command of Rukat, I know him." Fast quickly checked the identity of the other party, and then approached the holy maiden and whispered.

The girl under the veil frowned indistinctly.

"What's going on?" this time, it was the frail knight who was being questioned.

"Ahem...... Holy Maiden, we were attacked, we were the werewolves of the Ice and Snow Clan, the beasts who had been hiding in the mountains, and it seemed that they were recruited by the Dragons to enter our rear at the same time as the war began, until we found the refuge camp...... We were assigned too few men, and it was with great difficulty that we were able to defeat their attacks, but the damage was very severe......" As he spoke, the knight's palm lightly pressed against his chest, an action that caused Arthur's gaze to change, "Go in and say, the others go back to their posts, and they can't relax." "Wait, Lord Arthur, we want to know how the family is doing!" The soldiers in the reserve army had already spoken, and this was what many people wanted to ask, but Arthur would not give them this opportunity at all, and almost forcefully ordered everyone to retreat, and then entered the closed council hall with the wounded knight.

In the cold room, only the surviving Knights of the Round Table and the Holy Maiden remained, and the injured knight sat on the ground with a little hesitation in his expression, "Let's say, I just hinted that we have a military situation, it shouldn't be a joke." Of course, Fast also saw the knight's movements, which was a code word that only knight-level warriors in the army could know, "What happened to you after being attacked by the Ice Clan." ”

After a long time, the knight said word by word: "We retreated from the refuge camp, heard the news of the victory, and wanted to come to Winterfell to meet, in fact, in the head-on confrontation with the Ice and Snow Clan, we did not suffer much, but on the way to retreat, many old people and children could not withstand the cold and died...... Then we met the army from the capital. The tone changed inexplicably, probably remembering some painful memories, and pressed his face with both hands, "The army from the capital?" Rouxin tilted her head, full of puzzled expressions, and the Fast and Arthur around her also reacted in the same way, could it be reinforcements?

"We didn't know what that troop was here for, and we didn't think much about it, so we went up and asked for help, but......" The knight suddenly shuddered uncontrollably, choking up so that he could not continue in a complete sentence, "They suddenly attacked us, and several of my companions tried to reprimand and question us at first, but they were immediately killed...... Next, there is the indiscriminate slaughter, women, the elderly, children, you can't imagine, they are far more ferocious than the dragons......" There was a dead silence, Fast clenched his hands, his rapid breathing proved his mood, but on the other side, Exeisi patted his old partner on the shoulder, obviously, he accepted this fact very calmly.

"Slaughter...... What are those guys here for? Arthur had actually thought of the answer, at this juncture of victory, the troops that appeared in the nearby capital were probably the nobles' minions who came to reap the credit, and they might be naïve enough to pursue the retreating dragons.

"Do you want to get in touch with the capital?" said Arthur.

"How do you think the capital will answer, Arthur. The holy girl shook her head, the group of big people in the capital didn't care about how many people died on the front line, all they wanted was that privilege not to be taken away, "Do you know who the leader is?" "The subordinates can be sure, it's a lone wolf!" This is another name that is not unfamiliar, an A-level martial artist who was once kicked out of the Knight of the Round Table by Arthur because of his evil deeds, but then he was bought by the mysterious nobles of the capital and became a dead soldier, and this time it was he who led the troops?

The holy maiden turned her back to everyone, in the past, whenever something happened, she could entrust it all to Feng Yu to think, all she had to do was agree and act, and now ...... He was no longer there, and he opened his hands and stared at the black pistol, what would he do if he changed to Wind Feather?

Suddenly, there was a sharp knock on the door of the council room, and after Fast stepped forward to open it, there was a soldier with a strange look outside, "Report...... Report, there is a troop from the capital that is about to come in from outside the city, and someone has already put them in with good intentions......" "What?" was just discussing the whereabouts of that troop, but when she arrived at the door, the holy maiden faintly felt that there was something wrong with it, but she didn't have time to think about it carefully, "Go and see." "Maybe when you see a lone wolf, you can know why that feeling is wrong.

Passing through the layers of walls, it was a cavalry force, their fat horses not only carrying warriors, but also pulling carts of goods, and finally, they arrived at the wide square, and continued forward to the inner city of Winterfell, where there were still soldiers who had not dispersed, gathered there in groups, curiously looking at the army that claimed to be from the capital.

"Brother Rhodes, there's something strange. In the crowd, the villagers from the big horn quickly noticed that something was wrong, and approached Rhodes, who had just been promoted to captain, "If it's reinforcements, the number is too small, and besides, they look like they've just experienced the battle......" "I also think it's strange, have you fought with the dragons?" 's A-level martial arts cultivator has an impeccable fighting talent, but he uses this talent to slaughter the weak.

"Hmph. The white-gloved hands tightened the reins, and since they came in, the soldiers in the square were looking at themselves, a mere group of cannon fodder, and they had the courage to observe themselves, and the lone wolf instinctively felt displeased, "The people inside, listen up, I am a lone wolf from the capital, leading the troops to support you, kneel down and be grateful, you group of waste." After a moment of silence, there was a succession of discussions, and it was clear that the lone wolf's opening words had managed to make a deep bad impression on all the Winterfell soldiers, "Wait a minute, that's our village's sleigh, why is it in your hands!" "The bag on his horse's back belongs to our village, and there are markers!" I don't know who made the start, more and more reserve soldiers began to identify the knights dressed in wolf bèi, and when the initial doubts became louder and louder, they turned into angry questions, and at the same time, the gates of the inner city were slowly opened, and the holy maiden and her party strolled out of it, meeting the eyes of the lone wolf.

"It's really that guy. Arthur quietly tightened his grip on the hilt of his sword, the lone wolf must have been full of disgust and hatred for himself, but he could not be allowed to do anything here.

Rouxin and Fast remained silent, but the wave of questioning in the square reached its peak the moment the Holy Maiden appeared.

Suddenly, the lone wolf roared: "Shut up for me!" The powerful momentum instantly overwhelmed those soldiers with mediocre qualifications, and in the end, the man on horseback was still one of the highest powerhouses in the martial arts world.

"I really don't know what to ask, do you mean something that looks familiar? An almost impatient explanation, but everyone present began to slowly fall silent, as the knight who had fled had said, their family had been attacked by werewolves......

"You're lying!" the mortally wounded knight rushed out from behind the Holy Maiden, and his staggering steps almost caused him to fall to the ground, but he was quickly held up by Fast's eyes, and at the same time tried to stop the man's speech, but Rouxin on the side had already taken over the topic, "Oh, why do you say that?" I don't know why, Rouxin completely ignored Fast's hintive look.

"After we retreated from the Ice Clan's subordinates, the casualties were not heavy, but on the way to this side, we met them! It seems that they have just lost the battle, their morale is very low, we kindly went forward to inquire, but we were mercilessly slaughtered! Everyone died, and I was the only one left...... I'm the only one......" Like a bomb being detonated, the soldiers of the reserve army instantly turned red-eyed, although it was only one of the many refuge camps that was slaughtered, but who could guarantee that the refuge camp where their families were located would not become the next target?

"Tsk" Obviously, the lone wolf thought that the massacre was very complete, and no one escaped, "What do you shout, if you want to blame your family for bad luck, if you meet us, if you don't have supplies, we will be wiped out in the snow, for the sake of this country, you just need to obediently hand over the food and wait quietly for death, whether it is the people we killed you, or the women who fell on you, these are just small episodes! The disdain in his heart no longer needs to be hidden, the lone wolf originally regarded himself as a strong man from above, and he would not take this number of lives in his eyes at all.

"You bastard!" "What are you talking about!" "Kill you!"

The scene was obviously moving in the direction of getting out of control, but no one stepped forward, and the other party's strong strength was not an ornament.

The Holy Maiden was about to step forward to do something, and the adjutant who had been quietly staying by the lone wolf's side raised his right arm, his voice was very calm, but full of strange penetrating power, which calmed the crazy soldiers for a while, " Holy Maiden, and all the Knights of the Round Table, I am the adjutant of Lord Lone Wolf, Mozhach, I am also sorry about what happened outside before, but please all understand, this qiē is all for the final victory, our task is to pursue the retreating dragons, the bad thing is that in the canyon ahead, we were ambushed by the other side instead, if there is not enough medicine and food, we will have many wounded warriors die on the road, each of them is an important hero of this country, you will not be stingy with a little material in this area"Mozhach? I haven't heard that name. Fast tried to find this person in his memory, but he had no impression, was he a newcomer who had just been promoted?

"Rhetoric, if you only need supplies, why kill our family! Just now, your commander has already confessed!"

Mozhach tilted his head slightly, raised his hand, combed the beautiful blonde hair, stared in the direction of the sound with dark blue eyes, and replied in an almost perfect voice: "We don't need to explain anything to you, remember that to disobey us is to go against this country, and our order is a qiē, including letting you die!"

"Holy Maiden, we will be stationed outside the city, please prepare enough food, wine, and women...... We're all heroes. The cavalry team began to turn away, and some soldiers wanted to catch up, but they were immediately stopped by the people around them, "Haha...... Hahaha...... A bunch of waste. In the distance, the rampant laughter of a lone wolf was heard, and there was an inexplicable dead silence in the square.

"Holy Maiden ......" Exsaisi's undulating chest explained his current mood, but anger is anger, and after returning to reality, all he can do is endure and forget, after all, they are just pawns of this country.

"Is this the country we want to protect? Rhodes walked out of the crowd, stood in front of the holy maiden and asked, with confusion, puzzlement, and powerless hatred on his face, "What we want to protect is our family, not the group of losers!" Of course, the holy maiden understands that the darkness of this country has taken away a piece of its own a long time ago, but what can be done, the enemy is the deep-rooted darkness of the whole country, and a mere group of reserve soldiers can do?

"Well, as an outsider, I shouldn't really talk much, but...... Is that really good, Holy Maiden-sama. With that innocent expression, Rou Xin also followed to the holy maiden, "Seeing the soldiers who threw their heads and spilled their blood for this country, and lost their families for some boring reasons, is such a country right? Is such a ruler qualified? You are the spiritual belief of this country, and you are also the balance of justice, stand by and watch, really...... Okay?"

"Rouxin, what do you know!" Arthur approached in an unkind tone, how could he and Vivian understand what others could understand?

"I ...... Needed, cheered and praised, those voices from the bottom of my heart, I feel that I can continue to live. Stretching out her right hand to block Arthur's reckless behavior, the holy maiden said in a calm tone, "Now, those voices are being ruthlessly trampled on, but I don't know what I can do, can you sue me, Rouxin?" "What you have to do is actually very simple, protect a qiē, a qiē in front of you...... And, the country itself. A soft and sweet smile can give people the illusion of cuteness, but Arthur and other knights of the Round Table have sensed something from this innocent-looking girl.

Is it really an accident that Rouxin fled from Shenzhou Qinglongmen to the distant Anglo-French Confederate?

"Who's behind you?" the Holy Maiden was keenly aware of this, "what is your purpose?"

"Witch Cinfey, this name should be familiar to you, we are pioneers who want to give change to this country...... I am a revolutionary. ”

The Holy Maiden and Rou Xin looked at each other for a long time.

The girl under the veil made a decision after a long time.
