Chapter 419: Mercy and Justice
It seems that the secret passage is not in the castle, and it is likely that it has dived directly underground and connected to the outside of the city from the secret passage.
Just then, there was a rush of horses' hooves outside the castle, and the rattling of wheels over the stone pavement.
"Victor, you take someone to protect the wounded and move them out of the city, Chand, Duke and Ale, follow me. ”
After giving a simple order, Philip and the others rushed out, how could the big fish that had already arrived in his hand give him a chance to run away.
The townspeople had long since been awakened by the shouts of killing, but except for a few bold ones who had looked from afar, everyone else was hiding in their houses, and the streets were still empty.
With a whistle, Natalie tacitly caught Philip and chased after the carriage that disappeared at the end of the mountain road.
In just ten minutes, they stopped at a fork, and the clear ruts on the ground showed that the carriage was heading north from the intersection on the left, but the trace of blood left in the air was noticed by the smell-sensitive Allet, which was a path leading to the mountain on the right.
After only two seconds of hesitation between dividing his troops or not, Philip led the men to chase down the path.
It was not that he deliberately spared the women and children because of his woman's kindness, but that the rut was very shallow, indicating that there were not many people on it, and they might not even have time to carry their clothes and luggage in a hurry.
It turned out that his judgment was right, and before he had chased a kilometer, he saw three figures not far away climbing on the steep mountain road, and several abandoned unicorns hid in panic among the trees.
As long as they climbed the not-so-high mountain, they would most likely use the dense woods to get out of the way.
Seeing that Philip and the others were chasing after them, the two elite guards stopped, looking a little arguing, but in the end they still stuck the not too wide mountain road, covering Marshall to continue to flee forward.
Philip made a gesture to Alet, who happily jumped from his horse directly onto the tree beside the road, and disappeared into the dense woods with a few twists.
The two guards were shocked and were about to turn around to stop them, but they were stopped by Philip and Chand.
Miss Natalie's body is agile, and even the narrow mountain roads can't stop her swift steps.
And after the continuous battle half a year ago, the battlefield experience was already very rich, and a low-handed sprint hit the shoulder of one of the guards, knocking him out and falling on the hard mountain wall.
Before he could get up, he was shot head-on by Duke.
It's a pity that this guard is not a speed awakening, he dodged the first arrow but can't dodge the three arrows in a row, such a close distance, such a dark and complex environment, he can escape Duke's unbelievable and strange arrow method, even Philip himself is not completely sure.
"Ahh
The other guard, seeing that the situation was not good, was about to hide in the dense forest, but was caught by Philip and Chand.
Maybe it's because the other party has no intention of fighting, or maybe it's because Philip has grown up very quickly in the past six months, and he doesn't feel how powerful the other party is.
Under the restraint of his prediction ability, the advantage of the opponent's speed did not come into play, and after five moves, he was slashed on the arm by Qian De with a sword.
A thick arm tumbled into the air in the already bright skylight, and a bloody arrow more than a foot long spurted out from the fracture, dowing the slightly bulky Chand.
Before he could scream, the unknown guard was beheaded by Philip's sword, making him less painful than he struggled with before he died.
It's just that through the already faint sky, I can see that the appearance of this guard is quite similar to that of the middle-aged man.
No one expected that the two elite guards would die in front of them so easily, and one of them was defeated by Duke who was only a first-level awakening, which made people feel unreal.
glanced at Qian De, and both of them showed sincere smiles, this is the first time in more than half a year that several people have cooperated again, and it is still such a tacit understanding.
At this time, Alie also rolled out of the bushes, and the middle-aged Marshall had completely lost the grace and arrogance he had just had, and was carried in his hands like a dead chicken, swaying from side to side, embarrassed.
To be able to become a classmate of Alsace, I think he was also one of the proud sons of heaven back then, but unfortunately maybe the martial arts have been abandoned for so many years, and he has suffered a lot in the hands of Alleg.
In this regard, Philip has only one thought, that is, in the mountains, he is also afraid of Ale, the Monkey King.
Glancing at his brother's headless corpse, Marshall took a deep breath and hid his sadness.
"I have only one request, for the sake of the mercy of Gaia, the mother goddess of the earth, to release our wives and children. ”
Marshall, bound to his knees, pleaded in a low voice.
The carriage was found, and Philip caught them without even making any effort, for they did not go far, but returned to the fork in the road, watching with antiquity as her husband (father) departed.
Inside, there were three women and two children, a man and a woman, who were also chained at the moment, standing in a row.
The weather in July was not cold, even in the morning, but these women and children were still shivering, looking with horror at the group of murderers who broke into their homes, which would be the nightmare of their lives, and this day would also be the end of a happy childhood.
Gerald covered the eyes of the two children so that they could not see the plight of his father and uncle, but when he heard one of the women crying hoarsely, the two children began to cry as well.
Marshall's daughter was an angelic child who reminded Philip of his two younger sisters, who were now hugging her young brother with her thin body.
Looking at the family in front of him, Philip sighed silently, feeling that he had really become the villain in the story.
This is completely different from facing the steppe people, the other party is a Ward man with the same skin color and appearance as him, the only difference is the different camp.
"I know who you are, Philip of the Lion House of Gokan City.
If you let them go, I'll tell you a secret. ”
When the plea failed, Marshall simply made an exchange.
"Get you back, and I'll know any secrets. Philip seemed unmoved, but in fact he had already given Chander a look.
"Arthas will interrogate me personally, and he won't let you stand by.
You don't know these people, it's their usual trick, and I suspect that the information you get must have been redacted, vague, or vague.
They won't tell you about the Lion's plans, weakening the power of the world, especially a rising family, which is what they are most happy to see. ”
Seeing that Chand and Duke had blocked the intersection and that no one could see it in the distance, Philip stepped forward and pulled his hair and whispered, "There is only one daughter at most." ”
Marshall agreed without any hesitation: "Just put her not far from the city gate, everyone here knows her, she is the princess here." ”
"I don't see it. Philip sarcastically said that the townsfolk had not reacted enthusiastically.
"That's because you don't know them, we have our own traditions, you don't understand.
......
I've said it all, and it's time for you to keep your promise. ”
When he came, he was full of ambition, and when he went back, he was not satisfied, although no one died, but all of them were wounded, and Julian and Sergei were even more because of excessive blood loss, so they could only lie on the back of their mounts with the support of their companions, and slowly walked back with their dying breath.
It seems that even if the trauma is cured, it will have to recuperate for a month or two to recover.
I don't know if Miss Natasha, who is far away in Flogen, will dislike Julian's many round scars, hoping that she won't have a phobia of intensity.
Regardless, Philip has done his job successfully, which means that he can add a shining touch to his resume.
But Philip was not happy, for he kept thinking about the bite on his hand when he put down the little girl, and the hateful eyes of those who were guarding the gates of the city and were gathering the corpse.
Two or three hundred women and old people, and children, but hardly a single healthy and intact man, seemed to represent something.
Thinking of Arthas's last request before leaving, he somewhat understood why such a task would be a test.
He just wanted to get back to Lily Hill as soon as possible and pass back the news he had just heard.
The Red Skull Thieves, Bell, why are these familiar names like the poison of the tarsal bones, and they can't be cleaned.
There is also a man with a prosthetic arm, although there are too many such soldiers after the Great War, but among the high-level of the Extreme Master Regiment, the scope can always be narrowed.
Even though he was busy with personal affairs in the last few months and was not familiar with the two new divisional personnel, I believe that his grandfather Brad must be prepared based on this clue.
In the southeastern province of the Wardsman Empire, in the city of Gaokan, Brad sat in the lobby of the Lion Castle, watching as Old Patton commanded his servants to repeatedly spray his body and furniture with alcohol and disinfectant.
Everyone's faces were covered with a layer of white gauze, and even if they had some difficulty breathing, they didn't dare to take it off.
Half a month ago, a conspiracy against the city hall was foiled, and 30 terrorists who had infiltrated the city disguised as merchants were captured.
Luckily, in the first round of attacks, he was captured by a precautionary Brad, and the only loss was the possible permanent loss of a few wall tiles from the town hall and the necessity to rebuild a gatehouse.
But soon the people were rescued, yes, rescued.
It was already confirmed that these people had accomplices in the city, and that they were able to escape quietly from the heavily guarded prison, and that this person's rank could not be too low.
Thankfully, the eldest son, Francis, reacted quickly and killed them, but one of them escaped and disappeared.
Judging from the current results, it is clear that the only surviving person is their real backhand, or that the others are just a trick.
