"My lord, what are you guarding against?" said Berunek, who was leaning on the back seat of the open carriage.
After bidding farewell to the four big families who were warmly sent off by Beiye Town, as soon as the carriage was out of Beiye Town's field of vision, Lorist ordered Sedkamp to slow down, threw a shield to Sedkamp, and told him to be careful . Then he picked up a shield and put it on Berunek's body, picked up a few javelins and put them in convenient positions, ready for battle.
"Hey, just take Pat with you when you come out this time, Sedkamp, I've forced you to practice Dou Qi so much, and you've only been promoted to the Black Iron Steps until now, so it's useless at all." Lorist complained. road.
Sedkamp called Qu: "But my lord, you just said last time that I am suitable for holding a pen and not a material for fighting for power. Why do you say that I am useless this time!"
Lorist said: "Even if you hold a pen, you should learn from Knight Shredder. He is no worse than you in holding a pen, but he is still a silver star, and he can be promoted to the gold rank in two years."
"My lord, how can you compare me with Mr. Shredder? Can I compare? He is a prime minister, and I can only manage one manor and castle at most." Sedkamp is very self-aware.
Belunek was tightly wrapped and stuffed on the back seat, and a large shield was covered on his body. Seeing that the master and servant were bickering and looking like they were facing a formidable enemy, they couldn't help asking questions.
"Well, Brother Baker, aren't you surprised? I didn't let you drink the potion that Master Donbassin made for you. You haven't felt any discomfort until now. You can't easily move your body so as not to displace your internal organs." Shit, shit. You have been blinded by that master Donbassen for two years. He poisoned you with dispersing qi, so that you cannot practice fighting qi to restore your body. You are like being imprisoned in Beiye Town by them." Luo Rist said.
"Cough, cough, cough..." Coughing violently, after listening to Lorist's words, Berunek opened his mouth to say something, but was choked by the cold wind blowing in front of him.
Lorist stretched out his hand to straighten Berunek's scarf, and then patted him on the back to make him feel better: "Don't talk, Brother Baker, I know what you want to say and why they did this. Sodkamp, please introduce the current situation of the family, which is the changes in the past three years after Brother Baker was injured."
Sedkamp agreed, and started talking about how the master died in battle, how the garrison refused to give orders, how Viscount Kenmes bullied him, and how he and Pat Go to Morente City to find Lorist and come back to inherit the title and family territory. As for Lorist's organization of the convoy going north, Soderkamp didn't have time to say, firstly, there was no time, and secondly, the object Lorist was waiting and guarding against had already appeared in sight.
Six riders flashed out from the woods in front of them. The faces of the riders were covered with black cloth, and they held crossbows in their hands. They circled over while aiming.
"Sedkamp, loose horse, stop the car and get to the back seat to cover yourself and Brother Baker." Lorist said.
Hearing the sound, Sedkamp pulled the horse, first inserted the pointed pole next to the driver's seat into the ground, and fixed the two-wheeled carriage. Then untie the reins of the two horses pulling the cart to prevent the horses from being frightened or frantic and causing the cart to overturn. Then Sedkamp turned over and jumped into the back seat, using his shield to cover Berunek and himself, who was stuffed under the seat by Lorist, tightly.
Lorist had already jumped onto the back of a strong carriage horse while Sedkamp was untying the rein, with his feet clamped between the horse's belly, he rushed straight to the nearest rider, holding the rein in one hand and brandishing a javelin in the other. , Pulled aside a crossbow arrow that was shot head-on.
Except for the one on the far left facing Lorist who was rushing, the other six riders all focused their attention on the carriage. All of a sudden, crossbow bolts flew, and ten arrows were planted on the shield covering the carriage and the back seat. Come on with an arrow.
Lorist had blocked two arrows that were coming at him one after another, and now he was getting closer and closer to the enemy facing him. Seeing the futility of the crossbow arrows, the rider on the opposite side put away the crossbow arrows with a cold snort, drew out his long sword and rode his horse to meet him. With a flash of the sword light, the rider on the opposite side turned out to be of the silver rank, but what made Lorist curious was that the sword light on the rider on the opposite side seemed not very stable, flickering for a while and then for a short time.
The two riders were about to pass by each other, and the rider on the opposite side raised his long sword and slashed down head-on. Lorist used the throwing spear as a cavalry spear, and blocked the downward-slashing long sword with a light stroke. He was riding on the opposite side, but he hadn't gotten over the surprise of why the sword light kept chopping off the seemingly ordinary spear-throwing. into his throat.....
Lorist kicked the corpse-ridden rider off the horse, jumped to change horses, and swiftly transferred himself from the bare-backed cart-drawing horse to the saddle-and-bridle mount.
The five riders over there saw that the crossbow arrows were useless, and they were riding close to the carriage. The first rider had already reached the front of the carriage, and the rider had already drawn his sword. At this moment, a javelin flew towards him, and the rider was taken away from his mount, flying over the carriage for a distance of one foot. The rider who was pierced through the chest by the spear only struggled twice before dying.
The remaining four riders were shocked, but when they turned their heads, Lorist came round from the side. The leader Yiqi was furious, pointed at Lorist and yelled, "Cut him first..."
The long swords of three of the four knights lit up, Lorist was not afraid, and he drew his sword to hedge...
In the blink of an eye, Lorist had already charged past the four riders, and the moment the five riders met, the sword light was like lightning, and the wind and thunder blew up.
Lorist turned the horse's head, and three of the four riders swayed on the horse, and then fell off the horse one after another. The surviving rider seemed to be seeing a ghost, and looked at the three companions who fell on the ground in dismay. It took a long time to regain his senses. Seeing Lorist screamed, he rode his horse and wanted to escape.
Lorist sneered: "Did you leave?"
Take off the crossbow hanging on the side of the horse's back, string it up, aim, and fire. The crossbow arrow hit the back of the fleeing rider, and the rider screamed and fell off his horse.
Lorist rode his horse and approached the carriage, tapped the shield with his saber: "Sedkamp, come out and clean the battlefield."
The shield moved away, revealing Sedkamp's face: "My lord, are you done?"
"Well, six of them, none of them ran away."
"Okay, my lord, I'm going to clean up the battlefield right now." Sedkamp got up quickly, and went to touch the corpse happily.
Lorist got into the carriage, helped Belunek up, and sat down on the back seat again. Only then did Lorist realize that Berunek's face was covered with tears.
"Brother Baker, what's wrong with you?"
"They, how could they do this, this is rebellion! Without the protection of the Norton family, how could they have a good life, how could they be so ungrateful!" Berunek murmured.
"Grateful? Hehe..." Lorist smiled, "Brother Baker, you think too well of them. The ancestors of our family gathered them as leaders more than two hundred years ago. You should know what their ancestors were from. , liars, vagabonds, criminals, thieves, gamblers, debtors, their ancestors had nowhere to go and ended up living in the Northland. Our ancestors took them in, built a city for them, and helped them settle in the Northland But have their ancestors been grateful? No, on the contrary, their ancestors took advantage of our ancestors' negligence and the imperfection of the rules of the family territory, took advantage of the loopholes, and wantonly encroached on the interests of our family. Because of our ancestors' kindness and scruples, they can Do whatever you want. In their eyes, maybe without our Norton family, they will live more comfortably."
"It's a pity that they forgot that Galintia is a world of lords. There is no gain if they don't pay. The short-sightedness of their ancestors cut off the passage for their descendants. Our family has never treated them as our own. Guarding against them is better than guarding against them." The enemy is stricter. They also practice Dou Qi, but no one will explain to them after they are promoted, and guide them how to practice, and they can't even organize caravans to go out for trade. The aristocrats in the territory of the territory swallowed them alive and they were lucky. That's why they realized now that they were delusional about getting quasi-noble status from our family, hehe... "
"But, my lord, didn't you allow them to expand the garrison and plan to bestow three quasi-knights on them?" Berunek forgot to be sad when he heard what Lorist said, remembering the promise Lorist made in Kitano City. .
"That's right, I'm going to confer the three quasi-knights, but I'm just preparing, I don't mean conferring them immediately. If they want to become quasi-knights, they have to work hard to fulfill my orders until I'm satisfied. As for When I am satisfied, it may be ten or decades later, and maybe their family will not exist by then." Lorist said.
Of course their family no longer exists. When Fatty Shi's convoy returned to the Northland, I was the first to destroy Beiye City. Lorist felt ruthless in his heart.
"My lord, you will become a great lord," said Berunek.
"Of course, I think so too." Lorist nodded seriously, expressing that he very much agrees with this view.
…
"My lord, I have packed everything." Sedkamp came back with five horses, and the horses were loaded with leather armor, crossbows, long swords and some messy things. Not far away lay six naked corpses side by side on the ground. Sedkamp was busy retying the two healthy horses that pulled the cart to the carriage.
When Sidkamp was almost busy, Berunek said, "Sedkamp, drive the carriage over, and I'll see if I know anyone."
With a promise, Soderkamp turned to the back of the carriage, tied the five horses he had brought along with the reins of the mount that Lorist had snatched just now, and then returned to the driver's seat and drove the carriage to the back of the carriage. where the dead bodies were placed.
Lorist turned Belunek's body sideways so that he could see the faces of the six corpses on the ground.
"I know two people. The corpse on the far left is Master Donbassen's nephew. Two years ago, when my physical trauma was not healed, he often came to help me clean my body and bathe with Cassie, and often asked me Some technical questions about the use of silver-level battle qi. At the beginning, I gave some pointers, but then I became alert and kept my mouth shut, so he didn’t come again. Since then, my injuries have repeated, Donbassen The master said it was all because of my internal displacement..." said Berunek.
"There is also the bearded man in the middle. He is also a relative of Master Donbassen. He has visited the small courtyard several times and brought me fruit. He brought me the news of the master's death. But other than that They didn't say anything else. I really don't understand why they stood by when Viscount Kenmes led troops to besiege the family's manor castle. They obviously have the strength to defeat Viscount Kenmes... Don't they understand Norton? If the family is gone, will they have no foothold at all?"
Lorist straightened Belunek's body, sat down again, pointed to the few crossbow bolts stuck on the shield placed aside and said: "Didn't you see, this time they want to deal with you, they want to deal with you." Silence, if you die, Master Donbassen's plot to poison you will not be exposed. They dared to do this two years ago, and abolished the pillar of force of your family on the sick bed. These guards in Beiye Town In the eyes of the Norton family, they never regarded themselves as members of the Norton family, and they had no idea of sharing weal and woe with our family. When their first act of betrayal was not effectively punished, they took our family's magnanimity They see it as weak and incompetent, so they intensify and take these rebellious actions for granted."
"Brother Baker, now you understand why I insisted that your attendant, Cassie, follow Steward Kedan to be responsible for the registration of the survivors and the townspeople who lost their land. I can't trust anyone in Beiye Town, except Sedkamp Besides, I can't even believe that Kedan is in charge, especially in your current situation, even a seven or eight-year-old child can cause you fatal injuries. Cassie is your attendant, but he has been in Beiye Town for many years, you There is no guarantee that he will be bought, for your safety, that's why I chose to return to the manor castle with the three of us."
"Actually, I guessed right. Master Donbassin had no choice but to block the road and kill them. It's just that they didn't expect that the six people they sent would be killed by me so easily. Hehe, this is called knocking teeth down Liyan, I can’t tell you how hard it is. Sometimes I feel that I am really ashamed to fight with these unscrupulous local turtles in Beiye Town. What they want to do and what they think in their hearts are clearly shown on their faces. I can guess their tricks just by looking at them, it's really unfulfilling. Let's go, Sedkamp, what are you still doing here, hurry up, let's go home early."
