Chapter 005 (Macon Slint)

A fiery red sun rose in the purple mist, spewing dazzling flames of light into the surroundings.

There is no breeze blowing through the dense trees, and the tall and stout, leafy trees stand under the scorching sun, supporting the green space in the forest with thick green shade.

Hiding from the blazing sun in the sky, several sweaty teenagers are walking through the lush woods, intending to make their way through the dense woods to the nearby Horror Castle.

"Young Master, take a break! I'm almost exhausted. Clio gasped with one hand on a tree.

"Okay. The sweaty green-haired boy walked under an elm tree and sat down with his back against the thick body. They had been on the road for three days in a row, and he had planned to buy a few horses at Santabao and ride back to Jihe City. However, the few horses in the Three Towers Fort had already been bought by the garrison soldiers, and they had to hurry from the Three Towers Fort on foot to the nearest Terror Fort, hoping to buy a few fast horses there.

"Young master, don't you like that girl?" said Cleo suspiciously, "to leave in such a hurry?"

"The war between the House of Islam and the House of Targaryen, and the House of Merlister," said Macon Slint, shrugging his shoulders, "we must get back to Jihe City as soon as possible, and Father will be glad to hear the news." "The feud between these three families will set off a new bloody storm in the Canian Federation, I don't know what my father will do, it is his chance to make a difference.

"That's their business, what does it have to do with us?" asked Cleo, puzzled. He simply did not understand the inextricable relationship between the noble lords, in order to control more land and compete for rich profits. They will collude with each other and come to some kind of win-win agreement. A war between noble lords. Enough to draw half of the noble lords in the Cannia Commonwealth into this dispute.

"You'll find out later. Macon smiled. This is an entanglement between the nobility, you certainly won't understand.

The black, strong young man with the longbow sat silently beside Macon, he didn't chew as much as Clio, these were not things he needed to know, and he wouldn't ask more.

Suddenly, there was a small sound around the quiet woods, and several black shadows rushed forward through a dense field of grass. Dothan got up instantly, took off the longbow on his back and held it in his hand, then attached an arrow and aimed it at the woods opposite.

Seeing this, both Macon and Clio hurriedly stood up. He drew his weapon and looked in the direction of his bow and arrow.

Several lightly clad figures sprang out of it, and they suddenly stopped, staring at the teenagers who were fifty meters away from each other with wide eyes. "Don't get me wrong, we didn't mean it, we just happened to pass through here. Uhan took a few steps forward with his hands raised, staring intently at the archer with the longbow aimed at him.

"In that case, then please take care of it. Macon looked at him warily, the sword in his hand not letting up in the slightest.

"You see we're all a little thirsty, can you give us a few sips of water? Uhan's rough face barely managed to squeeze out a stiff smile. He didn't expect to meet anyone else in the woods, but since he did, he solved it. Anyway, he didn't do much of this murder and robbery business before.

Macon hesitated for a moment, then nodded at his companion. Cleo then took a cortical water bladder out of the package and threw it over.

Wuhan took a few steps forward and picked up the water bladder on the ground, patted the dust on the water bladder casually, twisted the wooden sieve and poured it into his throat. "Is there anything to eat, are you hungry?" he took a few steps forward.

"Do you want bread?" said Macon, stunned.

"Just have something to eat. Wuhan replied without hesitation.

Macon looked at him and said dryly, "Then you can come and get it." Then he tilted his head to Clio and said, "Get some bread." ”

Clio slowly removed the package he was carrying and pretended to search for bread that was not available at all.

Uhan strode towards the opposite side with a gentle face, but his right hand slowly reached for the scabbard at his waist. He grasped the hilt of his sword in his right hand and pulled it out, and the sharp blade suddenly pulled out of the scabbard.

I saw a flash of cold light, blood splashed, and a long sword fell to the ground. Wu Han covered his bleeding neck with both hands and stared at the young man in front of him. After a few seconds, he was breathless and fell to the ground.

The arrows attached to the longbow had long since left the bowstring and galloped towards one of the figures on the opposite side. Then there was a muffled thud, and the arrow pierced the target's chest, and bright red blood flowed down the hole.

The remaining man froze for a few seconds, then turned around in a panic and was about to flee. As soon as he ran a few steps, he was firmly bound by a stumbling rope thrown in mid-air, and suddenly heard a "bump", his body fell to the ground fiercely, and a rapidly spinning arrow grazed his slanted back and galloped past.

Cleo smiled at Doson on the side with some smugness, "Don't keep thinking about killing, leave a living mouth to ask questions first." Had he not thrown the stumbling rope with his quick eyes, the man lying on the ground would have died from the arrows that Dothan had fired.

Macon walked over to the dirt-covered man, looked down at him and asked, "Why do you want to kill me?" ”

The man who was sitting on the grass with his legs bent turned his head and spat bloody saliva on the ground, "Sue you, can you let me go?"

"It depends on your answer, whether I am satisfied or not," said Macon coldly, "and it is better not to fool me with nonsense."

"We, Baron Hopper Redwing, have been ordered to capture his nephew alive on the orders of Lord Baron. It's just that the operation failed, and a few of us were about to rush back to Griffon Castle to report the matter to the adults, and then we met you in the woods......" At this point, the man stopped saying a word, and did not continue.

"Cleo, untie him and let him go. Macon said quietly. This is the blood relationship between the nobles, and the uncle sent someone to capture his nephew alive and use it to blackmail his cousin.

Clio stepped forward, then crouched down to untie the rope at the man's heels.

The man got up and looked at the people in front of him with some suspicion, and after hesitating for a while, he turned around and hurried towards the woods in front of him. Just as his figure was about to disappear into the dense woods and disappear into the clearing, an arrow pierced his chest and flew past his eyes.

"Why did you shoot someone to death, Doson?" said Cleo, indignantly, "and the young master agreed to let him go." ”

Dothan looked at the figure on the ground opposite, and put the longbow in his hand behind him again. The young master promised to let him go, but he didn't say not to kill him.

Macon walked over and patted Clio on the shoulder and said, "Let's go, let's get on our way." ”

Baron Hopper, who was waiting for news in Griffon Castle at this moment, would never have imagined that none of the people he sent out would make it back alive. (To be continued......)
