Chapter XXIV, Atrocities

By the time the messenger arrived at the base camp in Rowa, Hawkins had already left the base camp and was once again on the front line of the confrontation between the two armies.

But this information was not missing, and it naturally appeared on the table of the third chief diplomat of the Legion, Schuheck von Lussen, who was one of the three giants of the Legion who decided the outcome of the war.

After reading the battle report, Shu Heke handed the information to the two next to him. They were Aryan Chris, the third treasurer of the Order, and Anthony Oak, the third military officer.

The Treasurer is in charge of the contribution system and all logistical supplies, and the Military Officer is in charge of the war command and all the weapons of the Legion, but only the Chief Diplomat has the power to decide whether to negotiate peace or not. So it was only natural that Schuhke occupied this command tent, a symbol of power.

"What do you think? These battle reports show that the three major cities sent men to infiltrate the vicinity of the three fortresses to burn and loot, and judging from their methods, the purpose was to destroy our logistical supplies and food reserves. How do we fight back? Schuek asked.

Anthony snorted coldly and frowned: "These underground rats can't do anything else, but their sneaky skills are not small." ”

"If there's a mouse, find the cat, and bring in Julian's patrol." Aryan tract.

"No, a small group of Bloods has recently escaped from the Forsaken Lands, and Julian has taken care of the matter." Anthony shook his head.

Aryan was stunned when he heard this, rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Three years have passed so soon? What are these Bloodlines looking for? With such persistence, they have to attack the Red River Valley every three years, why don't the mentors simply set up a magic array to directly ban it? ”

Shu Heke's expression moved, and he said, "I know about this, it seems to be about the legend of Dragon's Blood Stone." ”

Aryan and Anthony knew that Schuheck, as the former leader of the First Brigade and now the cronies of the Third Legion of the Knights of the Tempest, must know many unknown secrets, so they were curious: "What legend?" ”

Shu Heke recalled what he saw and heard back then, and said slowly: "It is rumored that there is an ancient high-ranking blood clan buried in the depths of the Red River Valley, he was sealed underground with a magic array, pierced his heart with silver, and the blood that flowed out of the underground river water stained red, and also seeped into the underground along the river, forming this dragon's blood stone rich in blood energy. These Bloods came one after another to find this high-ranking person and release him. ”

Dragon's Bloodstone? Bloodline high-level?

Both of them are super strong among the knights, so they naturally know how much blood there is in the body of the blood clan, Anthony smiled: "If there is really a blood clan, there should be an ancestor whose blood can be shed for so many years." ”

Aryan smiled and didn't speak, but clearly agreed with Anthony. The three of them laughed for a while before he asked, "What about the other troops?" Can't you move? ”

Anthony nodded: "The only people in the Roa base camp who can be mobilized at the moment are the supply team and you and my personal guards. It's just that in three days, a batch of grain and grass will be transported to the front line, including hundreds of knights' power stone supplies, wizard magic stone supplies, and some magic potions, these things can't be lost at all, you and my personal guards must personally escort them. ”

When Shu Heke heard this, he had no choice but to say: "Then let's do it first, agree with the suggestion of the garrison knights of the Fallen Leaf Castle, and send someone to send an order for the garrison knights near the three major castles to assemble the nearest three squads, and wait for the personal guards to come back, and then deal with this matter." ”

——

Three days later, Deciduous Castle ushered in the legion supply team, the sentry arrived at Deciduous Fort a day early, and asked Herman and others to prepare food and hot water for the supply team going to the front line, the sentry specially pointed out that there were several noble adults in the supply team, and asked Herman and others to sort out the most spacious and clean rooms in the castle, and let the maids prepare hot water at any time.

"Good guy, Hawkins doesn't have this pomp, what a noble adult!" Claire was dissatisfied, and immediately warned Herman, "Whoever it is, don't try to touch my room." "The look is dangerous.

"Don't try to beat me up." Grace said angrily.

"Neither the food room nor the hot water is a problem, the question is where do I go to get a maid for them?" Herman frowned, "This is in the wilderness. ”

Moore walked to the window, overlooking the hut under the city wall, and said, "The planters all have daughters, and if we pay some money, many people will come." ”

Herman pondered for a moment before nodding, "Yes, but remember, you have to volunteer." ”

Moore looked at the captain strangely, how could he not be willing to take money in his heart?

At dusk the next day, a huge supply convoy appeared at the edge of the castle.

Herman glanced at his cousin William, who had only returned yesterday, and said to him and Grace, "Let's go and meet them, and the rest of the castle will be guarded." In view of the words of the sentry yesterday, he decided to bring Grace, who was also not a simple background, to deal with the other party, so as not to be overpowered.

The supply team consisted of nearly 500 people, except for three knight squads, 100 armored warriors, and the rest were farmers recruited from the Roy region.

The knights rode in front, and the peasants were yellow-skinned and pushed two grain carts in the middle. After the samurai palace, prevent falling behind and accidents.

"Why do you need three knight squads to escort two hundred carts of grain?" There's something strange about Herman.

When I got closer and saw the strength of these people, the doubts in my heart became even heavier. Because of the three captains of the team, each of them exuded more qi and blood than Hawkins, who had been in contact with him, and these three people also carried knightly swords that emitted energy fluctuations on their waists, and as soon as they made eye contact with these people, Herman could feel almost substantial pressure. But his own strength is not weak, so the pressure is only pressure, not suppression.

(Three squadron leader-level masters were dispatched to escort at one time, and there was a problem with the supply this time!) )

"Herman, the captain of the eighth squad of the first squadron of the ninth brigade, has seen your lords, the food and hot water in the castle have been prepared, and you can rest well for the night." Herman stood under the trio.

As he spoke, he quietly raised his head to observe, but found that these people were not shocked and frightened after seeing Grace, these people's eyes lit up, and even a trace of strange color flashed in their eyes, it was obvious that the female knight was comparable to the existence of a giant panda in the Knights.

The trio's reactions couldn't help but make Herman even more strange about Grace's identity.

"Did the goddess mishear?"

He asked secretly in his heart, but unfortunately the goddess did not show up to answer.

I only heard the three of them arrogantly say: "Good job, lead the way." ”

Herman nodded, leading the way with an unhappy Grace on her face. During this time, he noticed that many knights' eyes fell on Grace, especially the three captains. This made him deeply ashamed.

Due to the large number of people, the peasants and samurai camped outside the city walls, and only three squads of knights entered the city.

Herman took the three captains to the room on the west side of the castle, and the most spacious and cleanest room in the whole castle was of course Claire and Grace's room, the two were not only women, but also a wizard, and the other was a big scary, and naturally occupied the best part of the castle.

But Herman didn't tell them to let them out, for now he only gave up his room, and while Moore and Barron were being thrown out with the rest of the group, he was squeezing in with his cousin.

None of the members of the Knights were unfamiliar with the layout and structure of the castle, and when they saw that they and the others were only worthy of living in the second-class room, the three of them were immediately displeased. One of them pointed to the room in the middle of the castle and complained, "Who lives there?" ”

Herman replied truthfully, "It's Lord Holt's bedroom, and she's the wizard on the team." ”

When the three of them heard this, they automatically ignored it and asked, "What about the other one?" ”

Herman replied again, "It's Grace's room, and it's not convenient for women to live with us, so it's next to Lord Holt." ”

"Grace, is that the female knight who just joined you?" A big bald man asked.

Herman nodded.

The three of them exchanged glances with each other, an imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of their mouths, and they didn't say anything more unexpectedly, and said in a flat tone: "Continue to lead the way, we are very tired." ”

"Yes." This scene was seen by Herman, but he didn't say anything, just silently guided in front.

After sending the three of them into the room, he escaped and found Claire and said to her, "Claire, I want to ask you for something. ”

Claire wondered, "What's the matter?" ”

"It's not that hard, I want you to go find Grace right now and take her to your room and don't let her out until the supply team leaves, okay?"

Claire wasn't stupid and knew what was going on as soon as she heard Herman's words. She was also well aware of some of the Knights' vices, and immediately asked, "Are you saying that someone has taken a fancy to Grace and wants to do disgusting things to her?" ”

Herman looked solemn, but did not speak.

Seeing this, Claire comforted him: "Don't worry, Grace is not something that anyone can bully, not even a wizard. ”

(I also know that she has a big head, but the white dragon fish and shrimp can be bullied.) If you really wait for something to happen and then find a venue, won't you still suffer? Besides, Grace is still a woman. )

Herman didn't say much, but said, "I know all this, but just in case, this matter is still please." ”

Claire had no choice but to nod her head in agreement, and then asked with a smile, "So worried, do you like her?" ”

Herman smiled helplessly: "Where do you start with this?" I'm the captain, so I'm naturally responsible for the team. ”

Claire looked into the boy's eyes, not seeing a trace of hypocrisy or evasion, and couldn't help but grin and quipped, "You're such a nice guy." ”

Herman:......

Just as he was about to leave, Claire's face suddenly changed, as if she had seen some kind of disgusting scene, and she cursed without hesitation: "These beasts! ”

"Herman, go quickly, someone in the first room of the entrance is forcing the maid, damn it, more than one person is doing evil."

In Claire's spiritual power induction, at least ten people couldn't hold back their hunger and thirst to do something to these peasant maids, and these knights couldn't control their lower bodies as soon as they left the barracks.

Herman had known the Order's style for a long time, and when he was in Mine 29, he often asked for leave to spend the night in the city of Anjou to find prostitutes. The Knights of the Tempest are not papal knights and do not require ascetic observance. For the knights who were stuck in the wilderness, it would be uncomfortable not to vent once or twice a month, and the first time Jonas allowed him to take a vacation, he thought he was going into the city to find a woman.

The reason why there was no such thing as coercion in Deciduous Castle was that they had just encountered the Vault Dweller's eyesight, and they didn't even think about it after fighting repeatedly; The second reason is that there is a witch in the team, a scary female companion with a big background, and because of their perception, these people are not presumptuous.

But Herman never expected that the newcomer supply team knights would have no scruples and begin to force these peasant girls during the day, and the burning anger rushed directly from his chest to the top of his head.

(Fuck!) )

Herman wanted to kill these adulterous criminals.

"You tell Moore that they're going to stop the knights, and I'll go find the three captains." He rushed out the door without hesitation.

Claire immediately mobilized her spiritual power and summoned Moore and the others to stop those animals.
