Chapter 26 A Woman in the Night
Locke was alert in his heart, rolled forward flexibly, stabbed the sword in his right hand and stabbed hard at the silver light, "ding", the sound of metal clashing came, Locke's right hand stimulated a shock, but he didn't shake off the sword in the man's hand, Locke couldn't hit it, and hit the person with a trend, Locke, who was one meter seven or eight physique, was not bad in the camp, and under the collision, the man let out an exclamation, it turned out to be a woman.
Locke took the opportunity to pull back his right hand and pinched the neck of the attacker, which was a warm and lubricated neck, but Locke did not have soft hands, and there was no soft hand on the battlefield. Just when Locke was about to see what this sneak attacker looked like, a sound came from directly in front of him, and a black figure pounced up, and Locke pushed forward with his left hand, as if pinching something soft, and subconsciously pinched it. "Ah!!h
The moonlight outside the door shone into the room, and Locke gradually adjusted to the darkness, and the first thing he saw was two beautiful faces, one green and one mature. And the softness he grasped in his left hand at this time was that of the mature hostess. The man had tears in his eyes and bit his lip as if he was enduring some great pain. Of course, Locke's subconscious grasp was with all his might. After a long time, when the tears in the woman's eyes were getting more and more and her lips were getting purple, Locke finally reacted, let go of his left hand and let go of her. The woman fell to the ground.
He didn't worry about the woman getting up and moving on to it, no one could stand it if he caught it like this, and he found that it was just an ordinary woman. And the one who pinched his neck with his right hand, he didn't dare to take it lightly, he could block his move to stimulate his fighting spirit, it was definitely not an ordinary woman, but seeing that she was pinched by Locke's neck for so long at this time, her eyes rolled and she was about to suffocate.
"Who are you?" Locke asked, holding his right hand in his right hand, as he asked the woman who had fallen to the ground. Judging from the dress of the two, the woman in her hand is a maid outfit, wearing a blue bundle of hair on her head, and the woman on the ground is a black dress. In this way, the woman on the ground is the one who is in charge.
"Ahem...... Let go of Rafi!' she's going to be strangled by you!" shouted the woman on the ground, and rushed up again desperately and grabbed Locke, pulling at her in a haphazard manner. She had already lost a housekeeper she regarded as a loved one, and she didn't want to lose another loved one.
Locke looked at this woman helplessly, he had never seen such a vexatious look. The woman Locke had come into contact with had not been the tavern hostess led by Peters, and in order to survive and be aggrieved with guests. If it weren't for the women in the quartermaster camp, who flattered the soldiers for some money. Including Xia Qian, she is also obedient to Locke and never disobedient. In other words, Locke had never seen such a "brave" woman.
The woman pinched in her right hand had her eyes protruding after so long, and she had less air in and out. Locke is confident that even if he has been choked for so long, he is about to close the ghost gate. Only then did she let go of the woman on her right hand, and the slightly mature woman on the ground, seeing that Locke let go of her hand, did not entangle, and quickly pounced on the young woman. "Rafi, Rafi, are you alright?"
The young woman heard the woman's cry, and her flushed face only nodded slightly, and then, after a violent cough, she closed her eyes, but from her faint breathing it was clear that she was not dead, but had fainted.
Locke is a keen person, after the woman coughed, Locke felt a state similar to that when he and Yoshak and others were cultivating coming from the woman, it seems that this woman is also cultivating with a fighting spirit, I don't know how it compares to the eagle's fighting spirit, Locke thought to himself.
The woman watched the young woman faint and panicked, but the slight rise and fall of her chest proved that she was still alive. The woman sighed in relief, and suddenly remembered that she was still in someone's clutches, and her body shook again.
Locke asked again, "Who are you?"
"We, we are a family in this city, and she is my maid. This woman, of course, was Grace, a famous courtesan in the royal capital, and after a brief panic, she immediately confessed her details as if it were true.
"You lie! How can an ordinary maid be vindictive?" Locke stared, his gaze shooting like a needle on the woman's face.
Grace has never been seen by a man like this, and the mood that has just calmed down fluctuates again, before Locke's means of subduing the two, she, an ordinary person, did not see any traces of vindictiveness, thinking that Locke was just a strong officer.
This is also the difference between Charlotte and the Kingdom of Faustin, the military merits in the Faustan army can be exchanged for vindictive cultivation to a certain extent, while in Charlotte, the cheats such as vindictive spirit have always been in the hands of nobles, and even in the army, there are low-level officers who will not be vindictive, as for some officers who will be vindictive, because either they belong to the nobility, or they are the retainers of the nobles.
No matter how Grace looks, she can't see that Locke has been a little aristocratic. Even from her experience of seeing people, this man is likely to be an ordinary civilian.
Locke also didn't know the difference between Charlotte and Faustin about the teaching of Dou Qi, he only knew that in the past, it was difficult for him to meet enemies who cultivated Dou Qi, and this siege could be seen from the fact that there were only two people cultivating Dou Qi on one of the walls. But once encountered, this enemy is also meant to be a great treasure to move. Uncle Yoshak once told him that those who cultivated Dou Qi in Charlotte were either rich or noble, and when they met such people on the battlefield, they all asked Brother Qi to work up, and if they were slaughtered, they would make a good income, or exquisite armor, or sharp swords, and so on. If you're lucky, you might even have rare goods such as rings.
Locke looked at the woman on the ground, very simple maid costume, different from the baron's maid in the camp only the style and color of the costume, which was still largely the same. This also means that Locke will not gain armor or a sword. As for the ring and necklace, Locke didn't see it, but the woman had a gold bracelet on her wrist, and Locke took off the gold bracelet and put it in his arms.
This woman is not going to tell the truth, Locke is ready to use some tough means, there are many ways to torture on the battlefield, Locke will not be soft because she is beautiful and will not be soft-hearted because she is a woman, this is also the secret of Locke's ability to live so long.
"Auntie......" A little girl's soft cry broke the calm of the night.
Early in the morning, the unrest in Frans City had not yet calmed down. Although this is a small city, there are thousands of refugees in the city, and the smell of burning in the air has been lingering for a long time, and many soldiers are still looking for food in some shops or houses.
The sound of cries, cursing, heavy objects falling to the ground, and things breaking are the main themes of this city.
There was also a commotion in the City Lord's Mansion, where Baron Kaidozi was.
"What did you say? The lord of this city has run away! Why didn't you tell me yesterday!" Baron Kashre's roar shook through the inside and outside of the lord's mansion.
"It's just that the city lord ran away, what's the fuss. Baron Kedozi lightly wiped his clothes with a handkerchief.
"Just a city lord? Do you know that he is the son of a marquis, and the harvest of him alone may be able to withstand this half of the city. Baron Kashr was still angry.
"An unfavored son, and you want more?" Baron Kedozi remained lukewarm.
Baron Kashgar wanted to say something, but Baron Kaidozi interrupted, "Don't you just want to get an extra share, you can take an extra part of the city's armory and vault." ”
"Granary ......" Baron Kashgar still wanted to argue, "No!" Baron Kaidozi refused a word, "I don't have much food, half for one person, this is agreed in advance." ”
The troops of Baron Kashgar and Baron Kaidozi are even the private armies of the nobles in the army, and the military department is only responsible for a small amount of military pay and food, and the rest needs to be organized by the nobles themselves.
"Well, that's it. "Baron Kashgar obviously knows his bottom line.
After the Baron of Kashr left, Knight Will and the old butler appeared in the baron's room. "Tell me, what the hell is going on. The baron said lightly, his cold face making it impossible to guess what the baron was thinking.
"My lord," Knight Will began, "that city lord had about fifty cavalry under his command when he broke through the siege, and although the equipment and quality of those cavalry were not as good as ours, they were not much worse. ”
"And," Knight Will said after a pause, "one of the mid-rank knight squires, together with two low-rank knight squires, desperately dragged me down. ”
"Oh?" the baron became interested, "two low-rank, one mid-rank?" You know, there is only one low-level knight squire and one low-level magician under the command of the Kashr baron.
"Yes, sir. "Knight Will has no unintentional pressure in front of the Baron at all in front of Locke and the others, first, the Baron himself is a low-level strength, and second, the Baron has been in a high position for a long time, so he naturally developed a momentum.
"And that mid-level knight squire is completely deadly, and he took my sword and dragged me down. Will Knight continued.
Baron Kaidozi can obviously imagine the scene at that time, a middle-level hard to withstand a high-level sword, and if he doesn't die on the spot, he will be about to be useless, so he can still drag the Will knight, it should be some kind of secret method.
The baron's face softened, "Forget about this matter, those things are hidden, right?"
"It's hidden, it's in the forest outside the city, and I have left a few people there to guard. Will Knight said with his fists clenched.
Will Knight He led the cavalry squadron naturally not to let the city lord escape completely, and the five carriages recovered three of them.
Baron Kaidozi had heard from his men that one of the three carriages was full of gold coins, estimated to be more than a thousand, one was all Charlotte's jewels and crafts, and one was weapons and armor. Unlike the vaults in the city, which were full of silver and copper coins, that box of gold coins was worth enough for Baron Kaidozi's siege, not to mention the jewels and artifacts that were more precious than gold coins. However, the box was not easy to handle, and he had to ship it to Peters to get its value.
"Yes. "The Baron was pleased with Will's approach.
