One, one, and another...
As Brando's hair was pulled out one by one, a dense sound like popping beans came from the distance outside, getting louder and faster.
This continued for about a few minutes. After reaching a peak, it seemed to have encountered some obstacle and was suppressed step by step. In the end, it could not be heard at all, and there was a deathly silence in the night outside.
Brando stopped pulling his hair and looked out the door with some palpitations, subconsciously feeling that something was not right.
Sure enough, the sound reappeared the next moment, much sharper and louder, like a wave, advancing towards the location of the room.
Getting closer, getting closer.
As far as the ears could hear, it was no more than a few hundred meters away.
Sid showed a strange look, thought for a moment, waved his hand to a black-armored soldier next to him and said: "Go outside and take a look, come back and report the situation."
"Yes." The black-armored soldier who was named nodded, walked out of the door, and quickly walked into the darkness outside the yard.
As a result, no more news came, only the distant voices continued to move closer to the room.
A few minutes later, West Germany's expression became solemn. He was sure that the black-armored soldier must have encountered an accident and could not come back. He turned to look at the blue-armored soldier next to him and pointed out: "You, you, and you."
This time, West Germany called the names of three people and ordered: "Go outside together and take a look. Be careful, stay vigilant, don't scatter, and report back as soon as you figure out the situation."
"Yes, sir." The three blue-armored soldiers nodded, walked out of the door, and entered the darkness on guard.
In the blink of an eye, several minutes passed, and the three soldiers seemed to be swallowed up by the night and never came back.
At this time, the distant voice had already advanced to a position less than a hundred meters away from the room, and was approaching at an accelerated speed.
Ninety meters, eighty meters, seventy meters.
Sixty meters, fifty meters, forty meters.
The sound has reached outside the courtyard!
All the soldiers and magic-equipped knights inside and outside the door were on alert. Sid touched his waist, where there hung a long sword engraved with magic patterns and a magic-pattern dagger.
The eldest lady Anne on the cushion also stood up, holding a bracelet in her left hand, and three rings in her right hand that shimmered, squinting at the door.
Thirty meters!
The sound got closer, and right at the entrance of the courtyard, everyone prepared for battle. Even Brando, who had never known what was going on, began to silently prepare defensive spells.
At this time, the sound stopped suddenly.
The group of people showed puzzled expressions, and the next moment heavy footsteps sounded.
"despair!"
A burly figure stepped into the courtyard. It was Gawain, the orthodox leader of the magic knights. Behind him, he led many magic knights and soldiers.
The group of people seemed to have experienced a fierce battle, and the surface of their armor was covered with blood and marks cut by sharp weapons.
The area on Gao Wen's chest was even covered with thick white frost, which had obviously been attacked by a wizard.
When West saw Gawain coming in, he hurried up to greet him and couldn't help asking: "Commander, why is it you? According to the plan, you should be stationed in the south. Why are you here?"
"Stop talking." Gawain said calmly, "There are more enemies than we thought, and there are also internal forces. The south side only held out for a while and then fell. I had to lead people to retreat and shrink the defense line. It was not easy to fight. After repelling the first wave of enemy attacks, I found it difficult to hold on, so I brought people over to prepare for Miss Anne's transfer."
"Is that so?" Sid nodded and asked, "Then where should we move to?"
"It's no longer safe inside the city. We must go outside the city." Gao Wen said.
"Okay, I'll talk to Miss Anne right now," Sid said, turning towards Anne.
"Wait a minute." Suddenly, Gawain called to West Germany again.
"What, Commander?" West Germany was confused.
Gawain came closer, put a hand on Sid's shoulder, and said with a very serious expression: "There is one more thing I forgot to tell you, and that is..."
"Um?"
"brush!"
Suddenly a golden light flashed out from Gawain's right shoulder, and a short blade appeared in his hand, stabbing Xi De's side ribs.
The next moment, the sound of metal and stone clashing sounded.
"when!"
Sid's eyes widened and he looked at Gawain in disbelief. Gawain also widened his eyes and looked at Sid with some surprise.
They saw that the end of the short blade held by Gawain almost stabbed West Germany's body, but was blocked by a dagger - West Germany's dagger.
Time stopped for a moment, and then Sid and Gawain quickly separated.
Gawain looked at West Germany and asked aloud: "Have you been wary of me?"
"No, I'm not wary of you, Commander, but I've never relaxed." West Germany shook the dagger in his hand and said with a bitter smile, "
I really didn't expect that the insider you mentioned was you. I really didn't expect that you would betray the Pangbo family! I have always admired your loyalty, but I didn't expect that it was all your disguise. It's all disguise! Aren't you ashamed? "
In the face of West Germany's questioning, Gawain lowered his head, then raised it, looked directly at West Germany without flinching, and said: "Yes, West Germany, I did betray the Pangbo family, but I do not regret it. No shame, no conscience.
Because, I know one thing very well, if the Pombo family continues to rule St. Louis City, it will be a disaster for everyone. The Pangbo family was too greedy and too harsh. How many lives had they taken away in order to make profits? Only when the Pangbo family is destroyed can the rest of the people survive. If the rest of them want to live, they must destroy the Pangbo family. "
"But are you sure that after destroying the Pangbo family, the order established will be better? Or worse?" West Germany questioned unceremoniously, "Besides, are you really not ashamed? You have to know, you Everything now is given to you by the Pangbo family! If it weren’t for the Pangbo family, you wouldn’t be a magic knight at all, just a poor man who can’t even support himself!”
Gawain was stunned for a moment, then suddenly showed a weird smile, glanced at West, silently took a few steps back, and put away the short blade.
He reached out and grabbed the edge of the armor he was wearing, pulled hard, and adjusted it to a more comfortable position. He took a long breath and looked at West Germany.
"Sid, you are actually wrong. Without the Pangbo family, I would not be a poor man who could not even support myself, but a beggar who would starve to death in St. Louis City.
Um, no, if it weren't for the Pangbo family, I wouldn't have come to St. Louis at all. I would have stayed in the village in the mountains. Although it is poor and the conditions are difficult, there are not so many disputes in the outside world. The most important thing is that my parents, my older sister, my little sister, my big white dog Smokey, and my little black dog Devin will not die, they will not die. "
Syd looked surprised.
"Sid, you told me that when those people outside the city assassinated Miss Anne, they told a lame story.
Basically, a small mountain village was massacred because it disagreed with the Pangbo family's harsh contract. Only a seven-year-old boy and a few people survived. Then before the other party finished speaking, he was interrupted by Miss Anne. You also told me that although the other person kept insisting that the little boy in the story was not him, you didn't believe it. "
"Actually, you should believe it, because that little boy... is me." Gawain looked at Sid and said with a serious expression.
The whole audience was astonished!
