Chapter 386: All in the Trap (3)
Bang, it's not over.
Searching for the crash, Glori approached the city gates. It turns out that the reason for the lack of mana fluctuations is that it was not the soldiers who attacked the City of Honor, but the one-eyed demons who used tree trunks as torches. If you want to break through the gates, the One-Eyed Demons don't need any magic. It only takes brute force to shake the entire City of Honor. Now, one of the one-eyeps walked through the gates.
So, the soldiers who defended the city came and went, and these were the only people?
Hiding behind a tree, Glori sees the guards on the city walls. The guards, as Glorry had seen when he first arrived at the City of Honor, were well-armed. And, to Glori's wondering, the guards on the walls didn't get much support. Just now, Glori saw a support team, numbering about a dozen.
In the heat of the streets, Glori didn't see a second support team. It was as if the guards on the city walls had been abandoned.
Could it be that the lord of the City of Honor is planning to abandon the city and flee?
Perhaps, the city lord has not had time to give an order. Preferably, the lord of the castle should never give orders for support. Glori knew that the team attacking Honor City should be from the Kingdom of Alex. If you want to recover the City of Honor, you will naturally have to raid it, especially when the King of Order firmly believes that the City of Honor is like an iron wall.
So, will it be Gabriel's team that will besiege the city?
Glori was a little pleased.
But will Gabriel choose to prioritize the use of flame stones?
Gabriel, he will not set fire to the City of Honor, especially in the middle of the night. In the City of Honor, the majority of the inhabitants are Terrans. In other words, Gabriel, who inherited the will of Lord Bard, could not take the people of the city seriously.
Worried, Glori wanted to climb the walls to see what was going on.
However, a figure threw a stone at Glori.
Turning his head, Glori saw only a well not far from the city wall. To the north of the well, except for a few thin cypress trees, there was only a diamond-encrusted carriage used by a certain lord. However, the carriage was spared the fate of being robbed of the diamond because of the flames. So, apart from the tree where Glori could hide, there was simply no place where another person could hide. Unless, the man likes to be roasted by the flame of the carriage.
After another glance at the carriage, Glori realized that hiding near the carriage was simply not something that could happen. Because, the carriage was lit up on all sides. If you look down from the castle walls, you can see the surroundings of the carriage clearly. Glori could even see the other side of the carriage through the gap in the firelight.
"Who's there?"
Glori whispered tentatively, but was not concerned with the carriage. Squatting behind a tree, Glori grabbed a pebble. If the man didn't respond and didn't want to show up, Glori had no choice but to force the man to show up.
The stone was flipped and bounced. The stones, like arrows aimed at the target, burrowed into the canopy. In a whoosh, a man jumped from a tree.
Therefore, Glori also confirmed that his magic perception was weakened due to the impact of his injury. It's okay, though, it won't get in the way of Glori. Grabbing the shoulders of the person in front of him, Glori forcibly pulled, and only then did he see the face of the person who was hiding.
"Leo, why are you here?"
"I? just now, I was here to help you distract the knights. And now, as much as you do, I want to see what happens. I'm curious, what's wrong with this city?"
"What's wrong, Leo, have you noticed that too?"
"Don't you see? It seems that some are kept in the dark, while others know very well. I see that the besiegers are going to be unlucky. ”
Leo, patted the leaves off his body.
Glori, too, noticed Leo's outfit. Leo wears a brown linen nightwalk instead of a robe. However, the brooch pinned to the night suit was a silver leaf engraved with the word fire.
"Leo, where are you coming from?"
"A stronghold of the Church of Light, of course. Yesterday, Agatha did not go according to plan at all. And I, too, followed Agatha on a trip to the stronghold of the Church of Light. At first, I wasn't going to stalk her. However, I have not forgotten what you wrote on the armrest of your wooden chair with water that day. I did as you said. Agatha, not at all for us to attack the convoy transporting salt. Instead, she set a trap with Lord Javier. Halfway through, I had to rob a member of the Rune Church and change my outfit. ”
"So, Leo...... We've been calculated by Agatha and Master Javier?"
Glori didn't believe that Agatha and Master Javier would do anything to harm them. However, Glori couldn't doubt Leo's words. Looking into Leo's eyes, Glori was sure that Leo wasn't lying. After all, Leo only has a humor every now and then, but not enough to show his arrogance with life-and-death matters.
"So, do you know where the team attacking Honor City is coming from?" said Glori.
"No, I don't know. Because, like you, I only saw the leading team of one-eyed demons. Leo shook his head.
After a brief moment of staring at each other, Leo wondered at the sight of the bandage around Glori's waist, but Glori was worried because he didn't know what was going to happen next.
If the city is in danger, the besiegers outside will become lambs to the slaughter. Perhaps, the lord of Honor City, has prepared a lure plan similar to that in Mochizuki City. No matter who leads the ranks outside, they can't fall because of the intrigues of the Empire. Thinking of this, Glori's face subconsciously sank. 123 Literary Network
Looking at Glori's gloomy face, Leo knew something - Glori, eighty percent was going to send the team outside the city to the situation inside the city. Since you want to go out of the city, you have to run to the guards. Leaving Glori alone was clearly not a wise move.
Leo knew that Glori would not make a dangerous request, so he had to take the initiative.
"Look, for the sake of the glory of the Otersdorks family, I can only go with you to see it. ”
"Where are you going?"
Glori said something confused, but he knew it in his heart.
Glori, not wanting Leo to follow. Because, Glori couldn't tell who the outside team belonged to. Perhaps, the siege party outside belonged to those who opposed King Velon. If it is really against King Velon, there are many people who want to rebuild the Norton Kingdom and the Hunter family who want to rebuild the Luna Kingdom.
Glori's going to deliver the news is tantamount to letting those who oppose King Veron meet the people who want to get rid of them. Thankfully, Glori knew how much he was at risk.
However, there is always a risk.
Glori, who doesn't want to get someone else's affection for nothing. What's more, this affection is related to the life of the person who sent it.
Due to the urgency of the matter, Glori could not afford to think too much.
"Leo, you have to stay. If something unexpected happens, someone has to tell the news to those who support King Velon's plan for freedom. Only those people will be truly loyal to the kingdom of Alex. Only in this way can people know that those people are using the matter of saving Alex's kingdom as a bargaining chip for their own interests. ”
“......”
Leo was silent for a moment, then watched as Glori got up.
It seems that the more time passes, the more Leo can no longer face any sacrifices like Glori. Leo, thinking about the glory of the Osherdox family. Leo couldn't help but tell himself: If I fall, then who will finish the work of reclaiming the Duke of Osserdox?
Hey friend, I wish you a safe return!
With something in mind, Leo naturally remembered those days when he was with Glori. Also out of sincerity, Leo offered a sincere word.
"Hey, Blue Star...... Would you like to have a drink with me at 'Kozuki'? I'll be waiting for you in that tavern. Yes, it's a tavern...... With me, the eldest young master, to accompany you, the tavern will shine. ”
"Heh, Leo...... Is this a wish for a friend? I think it's good. ”
Leo, after all, Leo.
As the young master of the Osserdox family, Leo is doing really well. And as a citizen of Alex's kingdom, Leo can be regarded as doing his best, at least Leo did not do anything bad. At this point, Glori thanked Leo for his help and for his trust.
If you can be safe, then of course it is a good thing. Subsequently, the "small building" will also be able to carry the wishes of the brave.
Seeing Leo put on an arrogant smile, Glori was relieved. Leaving the cypress, Glori ran to the rocky passage that climbed up the tower. Glori knew that Leo had selfish intentions, but he also knew that Leo had made an almost exaggerated bow in the distance.
Heh, friend, see you later.
Glori didn't stop, just glanced back. The waves of fire grew fiercer and stronger, and the wind tore at them, as if the entire City of Honor was roaring. And, listening to the shouts and the sound of bows and arrows galloping, Glori was silent.
Cautiously, Glori climbed the walls along the rocky slope. Noticing that no guards were passing by, Glori removed the rope from the tower and climbed down the wall. To Glori's embarrassment, the rope was not strong enough to reach the halfway point of the wall. The walls are really high, at least two meters higher than those of the City of Miracles. However, Glori is not afraid now.
After all, the interests of one person are higher than the interests of others. And isn't this also a fact that the Wind of the Brave Warband has to respect?
Glori let go of his hand and fell down the wall.
Accepting the pain in his left abdomen, Glori didn't scream or make a muffled sound. One roll, and another stumble, and Glori endured the pain in his left abdomen. However, Glori was negligent - no matter what, he couldn't stop the sonorous sound of the armor when it landed. The voice was so loud that even in the voice of the one-eyed demon, it could attract the attention of the guards.
The guard, who found the sound, shouted, "Come here, take a look!"
Another guard, who had just climbed down from the second floor of the arrow tower, stood on the edge of the city wall and shouted: "Stop!
Immediately afterward, the shouts grew closer.
"Here, someone stole the rope and went down!"
"Archer, prepare!"
