Chapter 159: This Baron Is Too Shameless (2/4)
At eight o'clock in the morning, the baron sent someone to invite the exorcist warriors to discuss their strategy against the powerful enemy.
At half-past eight, Killina, Filin, and Rosen sat on either side of the long table on the first floor of the White Rock Castle, while the baron sat on the throne, his loyal and honest face still full of remorse.
"Three warriors, you should already know the specific situation. I made a big mistake and the only thing I can do now is try to make up for it. ”
It's nice to talk to.
It's a pity that after last night's incident, none of the three people present have any good feelings for the baron.
Xia Lina sneered with a cold face: "Baron Morey, you think too highly of us. ”
"So far, we only know part of the truth, and as for the whole truth, we need you, the person in charge, to tell us personally."
was scolded by him, Baron Morey was not angry at all, and the remorse on his face was even stronger.
He patted his forehead lightly and said, "Blame me, blame me, it's because I didn't think about it enough, I'll give a detailed description of the situation for the three warriors." ”
"Here's the thing, about three months ago, I had a fight with a knight named Canretto over some conflict."
"I thought it was just an ordinary quarrel and it would pass soon, but I didn't expect that Canretto would betray Whitehorse Town with a group of men!"
The baron covered his forehead with one hand and sighed deeply.
"Canretto is a mid-level samurai, with strong martial arts skills, and he has a lot of prestige in the army."
"He took 30 elite warriors in one go, and after hiding in the Falling Snow Mountains, he defeated several bandit camps in the mountains one after another."
"In just a few months, he has coerced more than 600 warriors, and even believed in the evil god Rada and became a warrior of ice blood."
"Canretto has said many times that he wants to seek revenge on me, but I have no choice but to think about it"
"Wait!"
Xia Lina raised her hand to stop the baron's words: "Let's be clear, what kind of contradiction is it that makes you quarrel?" ”
The baron looked embarrassed, paused, and said, "It's some personal matter. ”
"What personal question?" Charina asked aloud, her eyes fixed on the baron.
Seeing the baron's eyes flickering, she immediately threatened: "Baron, don't try to lie in front of the Divine Blade!"
The baron had just repented, and his psychological defense had not yet been rebuilt, and he was a little overwhelmed by Xia Lina's fear.
"Uh~~~ I had some stories with Canretto's daughter. I thought it was just a happy deal, but soon after the girl went back, she said that she had a big belly and wanted to blackmail me into marrying her. ”
"I have a wife, of course I can't marry her, but I promised her 200 crowns as compensation, but she refused to live or die, saying that I had deceived her feelings, and she jumped into the river and drowned."
Charina sneered, "You're a bastard, Lord Baron. ”
Fei Lin also sneered and sarcastically: "The baron is worthy of being a big man, his heart is as broad as the sea, and he even calls the revenge of killing a woman an ordinary quarrel."
The baron's face was full of remorse.
"Anyway, the big mistake has been made, and Canretto and I will not die."
"The garrison strength of White Horse Town is far from enough to fight against the Ice-Blooded Warrior Regiment, and at this time, a necromancer took the initiative to come to the door and said that he had a way."
"I was confused for a moment, but I believed in his wickedness."
At this, the corners of the baron's eyes glistened with tears again, and as if he did not want people to see his weakness, he covered his face with his hand.
It's a pity that he chose the wrong audience.
No one appreciated his performance, but instead thought that this guy was hypocritical and cruel, like a crocodile with its body hidden under the water and only a pair of eyes on the surface, ready to ambush its prey.
Charina showed no mercy to him.
"Baron, you have caused such a big trouble, and you have gone to the temple to repent, and you are at ease, right?"
The baron, who was also a shrewd man, immediately realized that his performance was ineffective, and immediately put away his mask, and he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes at will, and the corners of his mouth were slightly curved, revealing a sly smile.
"But God has forgiven my sins, hasn't he?"
In addition to being happy, what kind of scoundrel can you do with me.
Summera's hand under the table clenched into a fist.
She suppressed the anger in her heart and said coldly: "Things have to be done the same." You prepare for battle first and beware of the surprise attack of the Ice-Blooded Samurai. ”
"We're focused on dealing with necromancers. Now tell me, where is that guy hiding? ”
"I don't know. He hid very well and he was always the one who contacted me."
As he spoke, he fell silent, for there was a blatant sarcasm in the eyes of Xia Lina when he looked at him.
Baron Morey sighed, "Well, he's probably hiding in the shimmering forest east of town, but I really don't know where it is." ”
If you say this, you don't say it.
The Shimmer Forest is a vast area with dense forests, and there are many poisonous insects and beasts that hide. You can hide people anywhere, but if you want to find them, it's hard to find them.
But it's not impossible.
Xia Lina immediately said, "I need to recruit all the hunters in Whitehorse Town and the surrounding villages who are familiar with the Shimmer Forest, Lord Baron, give me a conscription order." ”
Without thinking about it, the baron looked embarrassed.
"The hunters have all been recruited by me into the army, and there are more than 50 in all, all of them experienced archers. They are the key force to defend against the Ice-Blooded Samurai, and if they are deployed, in case"
Seeing that Xia Lina looked displeased, the baron explained again.
"Moreover, these hunters have been away from the village for at least two months, and they probably don't know much about the situation in the Shimmer Forest."
Things suddenly came to an impasse.
Vice-captain Filmin slapped the table hard and shouted.
"Baron, until now, you still have the idea of letting the necromancer intimidate the Ice-Blood Warrior Order, right?!"
The baron's face turned pale, apparently because he had been deceived by what Filmin said.
A hint of panic flashed in his eyes, and his two short arms waved in denial.
"No, no, no, I didn't mean that. Then, if you find it useful, requisition all the hunters in the army. ”
"Forget it, no need, we'll figure it out ourselves."
It was Sharina who spoke, and she stood up and beckoned to Filin and Rosen.
"Let's go!"
The three of them left the Baron's castle hall together, and while leaving, Rosen had been observing the Baron's reaction out of the corner of his eye.
He kept observing in secret, and only withdrew his gaze when he reached the door of the main hall.
When the three of them left the castle, Fei Lin couldn't help but complain.
"Captain, we must recruit at least a team of hunters, otherwise with a few of us outsiders, how can we find people in the Shimmer Forest?"
Xia Lina glanced at him: "Do you really believe the baron's words, he said that in the Shimmer Forest is in the Shimmer Forest?" ”
Fei Lin was stunned: "Ah, where is that?" ”
Xia Lina looked at Lawson: "What do you think?" ”
Rosen already had the answer in his mind.
"The most dangerous place is the safest place, and the necromancer should be hiding not far from Whitehorse."
Xia Lina smiled faintly and asked, "What is the reason?" ”
"Because he came too fast last night. Excluding the time when the Nightingale would report the message, the time to really drive the necromantic army to hurry is less than 1 hour. ”
Fei Lin also figured it out: "That's right! It's definitely near Whitehorse! ”
Xia Lina also nodded: "Then, we have to go to that despicable messenger and ask about it." ”
Who is the messenger, of course, the Nightingale.
Fei Lin said, "Isn't there a little spider in the Green Warbler Hotel?" We're going to find her now! ”
Xia Lina pouted: "I bet, that little spider is definitely not in the hotel." ”
Rosen nodded in agreement, "It's true that she's not at the hotel anymore." ”
Fei Lin was not convinced: "How can you be sure?" ”
Lawson smiled: "On the way back to the temple, you have to pass by the Green Oriole Hotel, stop by and have a look." ”
Soon, the three of them arrived at the door of the hotel and walked in one after another.
Lawson was familiar with the ground, and immediately glanced at the corner of the hall.
In the corner, there were still members of the Nightingale Club, two girls in thick dresses, and they knew at a glance that they were inconsequential peripheral members.
He looked at Firin, "She's not here." ”
Fei Lin spread his hands, speechless.
Coming out of the inn, Xia Lina asked softly, "Lawson, why are you so sure that the little spider is not there?" Maybe it's in the upstairs room. ”
She was just guessing, but looking at Rosen's appearance, there seemed to be tangible evidence.
Lawson smiled slightly, and sped up to the temple: "Xia Lina, bring all the brothers, the more the better, and the baron's subordinates can bring all of them!" ”
Xia Lina immediately caught up: "What is the reason? ”
"The Nightingale will report to the necromancer, and when he sees us coming back alive, he will definitely flee Whitehorse as soon as possible and hide outside the town."
"As long as we find out the Nightingale, we will definitely know the necromancer's hideout!"
"But the area around White Horse is so big, and we have so few people? How to find the Nightingale Club? ”
Rosen smiled: "Don't worry, I have a way." ”
Xia Lina immediately said: "Filin, go and find all the brothers immediately!" ”
