Chapter 38: Matthew's Castle

Views:

"There is fire." Abel reminded Knight Marshall as he looked into the distance.

"That is the direction of Lord Matthew's castle." Knight Marshall glanced at the direction of the fire and said with certainty.

Lord Matthew is the Lord Lord who is located between Knight Marshall and Knight Bennett. The relationship between Lord Matthew and Knight Marshall is average, because the fief lord does not recognize the status of the Lord Knight as a noble, although in the human world Most people recognized the fact that a knight with a land was a noble, but this did not include some knights with a land.

Therefore, although Lord Matthew and Knight Marshall are neighbors, the relationship between the two is just to bow to each other when they meet. Now that Knight Marshall sees the fire in Lord Matthew's castle, he hesitates to save it.

First of all, Knight Marshall cannot reveal his identity. If he is found to have left his territory, it will be troublesome.

Secondly, Knight Marshall wants to protect Abel, but he is not sure whether he is still able to rescue Matthew Castle.

Abel didn't say anything and looked at Knight Marshall. This matter was left to Knight Marshall to decide. Abel didn't know anything about Lord Matthew. He had never met him or heard the two knights mention it, so Abel was not that great when it came to rescuing a strange nobleman. He could only help with a little effort if he could ensure his complete safety.

"Let's go rescue them. You must not leave my side. I can't come forward in this matter. You can come forward as a master blacksmith." Knight Marshall ordered.

"Okay, Uncle Marshall." Abel followed the instructions of Knight Marshall.

Abel took off the Harry bow from the saddle. Although he had some difficulty using the Harry bow, he still had no problem shooting three or four arrows.

At this moment, Knight Marshall was also holding a Harry bow. He placed the arrow on the arrow rest and unstretched the bow string. At this time, Knight Marshall discovered another advantage of Harry bow. This bow was particularly useful for immediate use.

Think about it, when using a normal bow, you have to use your legs to control the horse, and you have to pull the bow hard and keep it there before aiming and shooting.

As for the Harry bow, as long as the bow is drawn, it takes very little effort to keep the bow drawn. At this time, more strength can be used to control the horse, and it is easy to have enough time to aim and shoot.

The speed of the two horses was very fast. Abel first discovered that the castle was in chaos, and four wolf cavalry outside the castle gate were chasing those who escaped.

Hearing the sound of horse hooves, four wolf cavalry shouted loudly, and two wolf cavalry rushed towards Abel and Marshall knights with long swords.

"One in front of you, one behind me." came the voice of Knight Marshall.

Abel aimed at the first wolf cavalry and pressed the trigger. A hole was immediately opened in the head of the wolf cavalry in front, and then the wolf cavalry behind also fell down. That was the arrival of Marshall Knight's arrow.

The two wolf cavalry who were still chasing the fleeing people discovered this situation and howled loudly. Abel could understand the orc language, which was calling their companions in the castle to come out to meet the enemy.

Abel and the Marshall knights did not stop, and the subsequent attack caused the two wolf cavalry to fall to the ground. At this time, the wolf of the wolf cavalry did not stop after the death of the wolf cavalry, and frantically attacked Abel and Knight Marshall rushes.

After Knight Marshall shot four wargs to death without haste, he looked back at Abel and said, "See, this is a warg. It is extremely loyal. You must treat your black wind well."

"Uncle Marshall, I understand." Abel nodded heavily and saw the four wargs that were shot. He didn't shoot them just now because of a trace of intolerance in his heart and his absolute trust in Knight Marshall.

At this time, six wolf cavalry rushed out of Matthew's castle. The wolves of the six wolf cavalry all had large packages hanging on their bodies.

Knight Marshall's eyes flashed coldly, and he snorted softly: "Seeking death."

These wolf cavalry actually brought looted property with them when they charged. This greedy behavior also accelerated their demise.

The arrows of the knights Abel and Marshall had already been shot out, and the arrows recently hit a distance of 30 meters from the two of them. All six wolf cavalry died on the way to the charge, including their wargs.

Looking at the wolf cavalry who died on the way, Knight Marshall sighed and said: "This is a team of ten. The orcs are very strong, but unfortunately they lack the protection of armor." He looked back at Abel and then said: "Blacksmith The guild strictly prohibits the guild’s blacksmiths from making armor for orcs, and the orcs’ own blacksmiths don’t have the skills to make armor, so these orcs can only use their bodies to resist our bows and arrows.”

The panicked crowd in Matthew Castle slowly discovered that all the wolf cavalry who attacked them had been killed. The crowd slowly gathered, and a middle-aged man in a formal dress came to Abel, and the Marshall knight Now he acted like he was Abel's attendant, standing behind Abel.

"Hello, Lord Knight, thank you for saving us. I am Ken, the steward of Matthew Castle." Although he was frightened, the etiquette deep in his bones made Ken behave very politely, and he cast a spell on Abel. Thanksgiving ceremony.

"I am Abel Harry. I accept your thanks. Where is your master?" Abel was very dissatisfied that his master did not show up after rescuing people. He and Knight Marshall risked their lives to help Lord Matthew. But Lord Matthew didn't show up at this time, which would be too rude.

"Master Abel, my master has..." Hearing this question, Butler Ken burst into tears and was so sad that he couldn't speak. The etiquette he just showed was completely gone. This was incredible for a noble steward. one thing.

Abel's name spread very quickly in Harvest City, and the nobles basically knew that there was such a young master blacksmith living in Harvest City.

Abel had already heard that something was wrong. Something happened to Lord Matthew. He jumped off the horse and supported Ken, the butler, with his hands. At this time, Abel showed stability far beyond his age. At 13 years old, he was already nearly 1.7 meters tall. .

As the noble who saved Matthew Castle, Abel could temporarily issue orders on behalf of the nobles when there were no nobles in the saved territory. This was one of the regulations of the nobles.

"Now you arrange for people to maintain order in the castle. Ask people to go to Harvest City to inform the city lord about Lord Matthew's matter. The city lord will decide the future affairs." Abel said to the steward Ken.

"According to your will." Steward Ken held back his tears. At this time, the nobles gave orders and made decisions, which would keep Matthew Castle stable and prevent people with evil intentions from taking advantage of it.

Abel didn't stay long. In about an hour, Matthew's castle returned to calm. The corpses of the orcs were piled in the square in the middle of the castle, while Matthew's body was placed in the hall, along with the bodies of other killed Matthew families. It is also placed in the hall, and the bodies of the dead subjects and retainers are placed in the side room.

All warehouses were protected with iron locks, and Abel appointed steward Ken and five intact guards to protect the property of the Matthew family and wait for someone from the city lord's palace to deal with the situation here.

Everyone in the Matthew family in the castle was killed. After these orcs broke into the castle, they first looked for the most gorgeous rooms to rob and kill. This also directly led to the fact that the first people to be killed were all members of the Matthew family. .

After everything was arranged, Abel asked the steward Ken to leave. The steward Ken did not dare to stop a nobleman and a master, although at this moment he especially hoped that Abel could stay and wait for the city lord's palace to send someone.

Coming out of Matthew Castle, Knight Abel and Marshall looked at each other. The sight of Matthew Castle today touched both of them greatly. A noble family that had been passed down for many years disappeared because of an attack.

If it was the Bennett Knights or the Marshall Knights who disappeared, Abel simply couldn't imagine it. He now once again has a deeper understanding of the cruelty of this world.

The silhouettes of Abel and Marshall knights gradually disappeared into the dark night. Steward Ken looked at Abel's back from a distance, his heart full of gratitude for being able to survive in this situation, and with only two knights. Come to their rescue immediately, this is the real knight.
