lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Knight's Journey!
Locke had a warning sign in his heart, rolling forward flexibly, and stabbing the silver light with a sword in his right hand, "ding", the sound of metal clashing came, and Locke's right hand evoked a violent shock, but he didn't take the man off his hand Locke couldn't make a single blow to the sword, so he slammed into the man. The 1.7-eight-meter-sized Locke was not bad in the camp. Upon the collision, the man let out an exclamation and turned out to be a woman.
Locke took the opportunity to buckle his right hand back and pinched the neck of the attacker. It was a warm and smooth neck, but Locke was not soft, and there was no softness on the battlefield. Just as Locke was about to see what this sneak attacker looked like, a noise came from right in front of him, a black figure rushed up, and Locke's left hand moved forward, as if pinching something soft. Subconsciously squeezed. "Yeah!!!" A scream penetrated the entire courtyard.
The moonlight outside the door shone into the room, and Locke gradually adjusted to the darkness. The first thing he saw were two beautiful faces, one green and one mature. And the softness he was holding with his left hand at this time belonged to the mature mistress. With tears in his eyes, the man bit his lips tightly, as if he was enduring some great pain. Of course, Locke subconsciously grabbed it with all his strength. After a long time, when the tears in the woman's eyes were increasing and her lips were getting purple, Locke finally reacted, letting go of her left hand. The woman fell to the ground.
He didn't worry about the woman getting up and then doing it. No one could stand it like this, and he found that this was just an ordinary woman. As for the one who pinched his neck with his right hand, he didn't dare to take it lightly. It was certainly not an ordinary woman that could block his vindictive move, but seeing her being held by Locke on her neck for so long, her eyes turned white. Also almost suffocated.
"Who are you?" Locke asked the woman who fell to the ground, pinching the person with his right hand. Judging from the clothes of the two, the woman in her hand is a maid outfit with a blue hair on her head, and the woman on the ground is a black dress. Although the black dress looks messy at this time, the subtleties are revealed. Its exquisiteness and a smooth look must be of great value. It seems that the woman on the ground is the principal.
"Ahem...Let go of Lafite! She's going to be strangled to death by you!" The woman on the ground shouted, and desperately rushed up to grab Locke, arguing indiscriminately. She has lost a housekeeper who treats her as a relative and does not want to lose another relative.
Locke looked at this woman helplessly. He had never seen such an unreasonable appearance. If the woman Locke had been in contact with was not the waitress in the tavern of Peters, in order to survive and the guests, she would make a fool of herself. If it weren't for the women in the military camp, they would flatter themselves for the soldiers' money. Including Xia Qian, she was obedient to Locke and never rebelled. In other words, Locke has never seen such a "brave" woman.
The woman pinched on her right hand has had her eyes protruding after so long, and she has less breath. Locke was confident that even if he had been pinched for so long, he was about to close the ghost door. Only then did she let go of the woman on her right hand, the slightly mature woman on the ground, seeing Locke let go of her hand, without getting entangled, quickly rushed to the young woman's side. "Rafi, Rafi, are you okay?"
The young woman heard the woman's yelling, her pinched flushed face just nodded slightly, and then closed her eyes after a violent cough, but from her weak breath, she could tell that she hadn't Died, just passed out.
For the keen person of Lockhart, after the woman coughed, Locke felt a state similar to that of him and Yoshak and others when they were cultivating from the woman. It seems that this woman is also vindicated in cultivation, no Knowing how it compares to an eagle's grudge, Locke thought.
After the woman watched the young woman faint, she was flustered, but the slight ups and downs in her chest proved that she was still alive. The woman sighed in relief, and then suddenly thought that she was still in the clutches of someone, and her body was shocked again.
Locke asked again "Who are you?"
"We, we are a family in this city. She is my maid." Of course, this woman is Grace. She is indeed the famous socialite of Wang You. After a brief period of panic, she immediately confessed to her. It seems that it is true.
"You lied! How could an ordinary maid be grudge?" Locke condensed, and his eyes shot on the woman's face like a needle.
Grace did not have the experience of being seen this way by a man, and her mood just calmed down again. Before Locke's method of subduing the two, she, an ordinary person, did not see the trace of vindictiveness, thinking that Locke was just a strong man. officer.
This is also the difference between Charlo and the Kingdom of Faustine. The military merits of Faustine’s army can be exchanged for fighting qi training to a certain extent, while in Charlotte, fighting qi and other cheats have always been held in the hands of the nobles, even in the army. The phenomenon that low-level officers will not be vindictive. As for some military officers, they may be vindictive because either they belong to the nobles, or they are their retainers.
No matter how Grace looked at it, she couldn't tell that Locke had been edified by a nobleman. Even from her experience of seeing people, this man is probably an ordinary civilian.
Locke didn’t know the difference between Charlowe and Faustin about the teaching of fighting spirit. He only knew that in the past it was difficult for him to meet enemies who practiced fighting spirit. In this siege, there were only two people practicing fighting spirit from one wall. Can see. But once met, this kind of enemy also means a big treasure on the move. Uncle Yoshak once told him that those who practice fighting spirit in Charlo are either rich or noble. If you meet this kind of person on the battlefield, Brother Qi will do it. If you slaughter it, it will be a generous income, or exquisite. Armor, or sharp swords, etc. Good luck, maybe there are rare goods such as rings.
Locke looked at the woman on the ground, in her simple maid outfit. The only difference from the baron's maid in the camp was the style and color of the outfit, which was basically the same. This also means that Locke will not have any armor or sword gains. As for the ring and necklace, Locke hadn't seen it either, but there was a gold bracelet on the woman's wrist, so he took off the gold bracelet and put it in his arms.
This woman doesn’t plan to tell the truth anymore. Locke is prepared to use some tough methods. There are many ways to torture on the battlefield. Locke will not be softhearted because she is beautiful or because she is a woman. This is how Locke can live so long. The secret.
"Aunt..." A little girl's whisper broke the peace of the night.
In the early morning, the turmoil in Frans has not yet calmed down. Although this is a small city, there are thousands of refugees in the city. The burning smell in the air lasts for a long time, and many soldiers are still hunting for treasures in some shops or houses.
The sound of crying, cursing, falling heavy objects, and breaking things are the main theme of this city.
There was also a noise in the City Lord’s Mansion where Baron Kedozi was.
"What did you say? The lord of this city ran away! Why didn't you tell me yesterday!" Baron Kasher's roar shook the city lord's house and outside.
"It's just a city lord who ran away. What's all the fuss about." Baron Kedozi lightly wiped his clothes with a handkerchief.
"Just a city lord? Do you know that he is the son of a marquis, and what he has gained from him alone may surpass half of the city." Baron Kasher was still angry.
"An unfavorable son, do you want more?" Baron Kedozi was still not indifferent.
What else did Baron Kashgar want to say, Baron Kedozi interrupted, "Don't you just want to get 10% more, you can get 10% more for the armory and vault of this city."
"The granary..." Baron Kashgar wanted to argue, "No!" Baron Kedozi refused, "I don't have much food. One and half of them are agreed in advance."
Even if the troops of Baron Kasher and Baron Kedozi are private armies of the nobles in the army, the military headquarters is only responsible for a small amount of military pay and food, and the other needs to be prepared by the nobles themselves.
"Well, that's it." Baron Kasher obviously knew his bottom line.
After Baron Kasher left, Knight Will and the old butler appeared in the baron's room. "Let's talk about it, what the **** is going on." The baron said lightly, and his cold face made people unable to guess what the baron was thinking.
"My lord," Cavalier Will said, "When the city lord broke through, there were about fifty cavalrymen under him. Although the equipment and quality of those cavalrymen are not as good as our best soldiers, they are not much worse."
"Moreover," Will Knight paused, "One of the middle-rank knight servants and two low-rank knight servants desperately dragged me down."
"Oh?" The baron became interested. "Two low-levels, one mid-level?" You know, Baron Kasher has only one low-level knight attendant and one low-level magic. division.
"Yes, my lord." In front of the Baron, Will Knight didn't have the pressure to unintentionally release in front of Locke and others. One is that the Baron itself is a low-level strength, and the other is that the Baron has been in a high position for a long time, and naturally developed a momentum .
"And that mid-level knight attendant is a completely desperate style of play, he forcibly endured a sword from me and dragged me." Knight Will continued.
Baron Kedozi can obviously imagine the scene at that time. A middle-ranked one can withstand a high-ranking sword, and he is immortal on the spot and will soon be abandoned. In this way, he can still hold the Will knight. It should be a certain Kind of secret method.
The baron's expression eased, "Forget about it, are all those things hidden?"
"It's hidden, just in the forest outside the city, I left a few people there to guard." Will Knight said with a fist.
Will Knight, who led the cavalry squadron, naturally wouldn't let the city lord escape completely. Five carriages recovered three.
Baron Kedozi has heard reports from his men that one of the three carriages is full of gold coins, estimated to be more than 1,000, one is full of Charlo's jewelry and crafts, and the other is weapons and armor. Unlike the vaults in the city, which are full of silver and copper coins, that box of gold coins is worth enough for Baron Kedozi's siege this time, not to mention jewelry and crafts that are more precious than gold coins. But this box is not easy to handle, and he has to transport it to Peters to exchange it for value.
"En." The Baron was satisfied with Will Knight's approach.
