Chapter 270 Kind-hearted Raven [4 updates]
The war between Broca and Wessassin has become the most watched event in the entire Nord province recently.
Vessasin abandoned the city and fled for his life, Broca occupied the town of Koja, and the news that he was about to occupy the entire territory of Koja territory also spread like wildfire.
With the governor vacant, no one can mediate this dispute, which puts the entire Xuefeng County into a state of mild tension.
Eagle Town is no exception.
Coupled with the attack a month ago, the Eagle Eye Guard's patrols have grown in scope and intensity.
As a member of the Hawkeye Guard, Julia also conducts daily patrols.
It snowed again today, and the wind blew gusts, carrying the snowflakes into her collar. After being melted by her body temperature, she became wet and cold, and iceflakes even began to form on her breastplate. .
Sighing softly, Julia thought this would be another boring patrol - although it was a good thing to have nothing to do, it was really boring.
Perhaps to give her something to do, when she was patrolling to the edge of the jungle southwest of Eagle Town, she heard a woman's scream.
"Don't come here, what are you doing!?"
"--Help, help!!!!"
Julia threw away the retinue and rushed on horseback. When she arrived at the scene, her pupils were one shrink.
I saw two men wearing muddy and dirty armors, looting supplies from a carriage. There was a man lying on the ground, with pools of blood under his body. He was obviously dead; there was another man next to him. The woman was holding the child, kneeling on the ground shivering.
The two men looked like they were going crazy with hunger. They stabbed the grain bags on the car with their long swords, and the golden wheat flowed out. The two men didn't bother to prick their mouths and picked up a handful. Just stuff it into your mouth.
With a snap, Julia shook off the whip and shouted sternly: "Eagle Eye Guards, put down your weapons immediately and be captured!"
She was really too young, and the two men looked at each other first. It touched her face and then landed on her chest, both showing lewd smiles.
"Ahem..." After swallowing the wheat grains in his mouth, one of the men said: "What guards? It's strange in your place, using bitches to maintain law and order?"
Julia's expression He coldly snorted, handed the whip to his left hand, pulled out the eagle feather sword with his right hand, clamped the horse's belly and urged the horse forward!
The two men looked at each other, separated in a tacit understanding, and stood on both sides of the carriage.
In this way, no matter who Julia wants to attack, she must take care of the existence of the carriage. The existence of the carriage also makes it easier for the two of them to hide and deal with each other; and once Julia stops, she will be besieged by the two of them.
But Julia chose the third way.
Just as the black-blooded horse rushed to the edge of the carriage, Julia folded her legs, stepped on the saddle, and flew into the air, landing firmly on the carriage.
The two men were a little surprised, but also a little disdainful.
In their view, although Julia's move was exquisite, it put herself in a quite disadvantageous position, and she was just a fledgling in actual combat.
They handed out their swords almost at the same time and stabbed Julia's slightly fleshy thigh.
At this moment, Julia bent down and moved her hands together, as if there were two wills controlling the two arms respectively. The whip on her left hand curled up and firmly grasped the man's arm on the left. He was entangled and could no longer be cut. He swung his right hand downwards and missed the incoming sword blade with a clang.
The two men were stunned. They did not expect that this little girl was so strong.
Even more unexpected is yet to come.
Julia raised her left hand suddenly, tightened the whip with a creak, and pulled the man off the ground. Then to the right, the man pushed away two bags of grain, and then made a loud bang with his head. The companions collided with each other!
"Murder, robbery, resisting arrest." Julia jumped out of the carriage and pointed her sword at the two confused people: "There is no need for a trial."
"Eagle Eye Guard Julia, I sentence you to death on the spot! "
As she spoke, she was about to hand out the Eagle Feather Sword in her hand.
"Wait!!" A weak cry sounded, and the trees nearby shook.
Julia looked over there warily and saw a knight wearing enchanted armor staggering out of the jungle.
There were many scars and several holes on his armor, and pus was flowing into the snow along the soles of his feet, leaving an ugly scar on the white snow.
"You are from the Eagle Territory, right? This is the Eagle Territory! I am... the Imperial Baron, Wessassin!" Wessassin swallowed: "The two of them are My personal soldiers.”
The two men on the ground struggled, seeming to want to stand up.
Julia suddenly drew her sword, and the sword sharply opened the gap in the armor, pierced the neck of the person above, passed through, penetrated through the nose of the person below with a muffled sound, and went straight into the skull.
Both of them shuddered and softened completely.
"You!" Weissachin was so angry that his head was spinning.
In order to evade tracking along the way, he was exhausted. He didn't even have time to treat his wounds. His injuries continued to worsen. Only these two soldiers followed him until now, but now they are being killed by Julie. Ya killed it casually!
“They should be sentenced to death for killing people in Eagle Town.” Julia stared at Wessassin: “And you said you were Baron Wessassin, what evidence do you have?”
Vessasin was furious for a moment.
Are there many people in the entire Nord province who can afford to wear enchanted armor, but are in such a miserable state?
But this cannot be the reason.
He is so weak now that he can't even use his fighting spirit. If he died in the hands of a woman in a daze, it would be too much fun!
"...Take me to see Baron Raven, he knows me!"
At this time, Julia's retinue soldiers had also arrived.
Julia looked at Wessassin and said, "Get him in shackles and I will personally take him to see the Baron."
Wessassin almost fainted from anger - if he had known better, he would have surrendered to Broca. At least Broca was really a noble and would not treat another noble so harshly.
But this also has its advantages. Seeing that he was almost unsteady, the followers almost carried him away.
Slowly, Wesasin regained some strength and vaguely saw a majestic and glorious building appearing in front of him.
Am I... dead?
Is this the country of the Lord of Light?
But Julia's words ruthlessly shattered his fantasy: "Eagle Eye guarded Julia. During the patrol, I found three broken soldiers robbing the carriage. Two of them were killed by me on the spot. The remaining one called himself Wesa." Baron Xin, unable to tell, came here to report to Lord Baron."
"Please open the city gate!"
The city gate opened slowly, and Wei Saxin's eyes widened.
This...this is Raven's new castle! ?
He had heard about Raven's construction of a new castle, and had also seen the construction site, but he couldn't see it clearly at that time.
I didn’t expect that it would be so majestic after it was completed!
If this castle was in my hands, how could it be beaten to the point of collapse by just 6 trebuchets! ?
Being taken all the way to Eagle City, Wessassin was almost dazzled by the sight. When he sat on the magic elevator, he gradually accepted the reality.
Across the distance, Wessassin heard Raven's voice: "Hey, what did you do? Baron Wessasin is an old friend of mine. Untie his shackles quickly." !”
After a few clangs, Wessaxin looked down at the shackles on the ground, and then looked up to see Raven getting closer and closer, and his heart suddenly relaxed.
Then he fell to the ground with a thud and fell unconscious.
The words that Raven had prepared long ago were of no use, and he looked at Vesassin on the ground: "Go and call the priest."
Since Lux left, The church in Eagle Town was empty. Since then, there has been only one priest in Raven's territory, and that is the third-level magician Herinder in Xuefeng Town.
He is a priest who fits people's stereotype very well. He looks to be in his thirties, of medium build, clean shaven, wearing a white-brimmed round hat, a black priest robe, and a hanging hanging on his chest. A silver ∞ badge and a copy of the Book of Holy Words are never left behind.
Raven has risen rapidly, and is highly appreciated by Archbishop Thomas. Herlind has always wanted to find an opportunity to get close to Raven, so he rushed over as soon as he heard Raven's invitation.
After diagnosing and treating Wesasin, and casting two more magical spells, Herinder wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: "Basically, there is no problem. The injury on Baron Wessasin is not fatal, it is just infested by toxins." , I haven’t been able to get any rest recently, so I was overtired and excited to see you, so I fainted.”
“The toxins have been removed and the wound infection has been almost treated... …”< br>
Before he finished speaking, Wesasin opened his mouth and groaned: "Water..."
"As expected of a third-level knight, he can wake up so quickly." Herinder was not very impressed. Surprise: "He hasn't eaten for a long time. Logically speaking, he shouldn't eat too much, but the third-level knight has a strong physique, so it's no problem for him to eat enough."
Leaven smiled and said: "Thank you Priest Herinder.”
"Where, it is my honor to work for you." Herinder put his hand on his chest and bowed slightly: "I also hope that one day, I can serve you as a bishop."
Bishop of the Church of Light, usually Responsible for the parish management of a county, he is only one level lower than Archbishop Thomas.
The original bishop of Xuefeng County went to Mansa County with Viscount John, and the position of the bishop here was vacated.
Nowadays, Raven's territory is developing rapidly. As long as Raven shows a positive attitude toward the Church of Light, Herinder may not have no chance of promotion.
Raven heard Herinder's intention and did not refuse: "I will work hard to let Priest Herinder get what he wants as soon as possible."
After sending Herinder away, Raven ordered someone to bring some water and bring it to Wesasin.
Smelling the aroma of toasted soft bread, Wessassin almost jumped out of bed, grabbed the bread on the plate without grace, kneaded it into a ball and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing it chew.
The sweet aroma of bread melted in his mouth, and Vesassin's tears flowed out as soon as he brushed them away.
It’s a hot meal!
After escaping from the battlefield, Wesasin gathered 6 defeated soldiers, but as he walked, 3 of them ran away quietly, and 1 wanted to cut off his head and give it to Bu Lorca took credit and was executed by him himself.
From that day on, he never dared to close his eyes again.
The lack of rest and the cold weather caused his health to deteriorate rapidly. In order to avoid being discovered, he did not even dare to approach the village.
What I drank was ice-cold blood water. As for what I ate - I only found a dead, frozen deer 5 days ago.
After eating two bites of venison, I had diarrhea for three days.
In the past five days, Wesasin has not eaten anything, otherwise he would not have been reduced to letting his men grab food. He ate too hard and the bread got stuck in his throat. Wesasin couldn't bear to spit it out, so he choked and rolled his eyes.
The person next to him quickly handed over the milk, and he drank it in big gulps before washing down the bread.
This meal was simply the most delicious meal Wesasin had ever eaten.
A dignified baron, his clothes were stained with milk spots and bread crumbs, and he would twitch his fingers when he got carried away with eating.
wave~
His thumb was pulled out from his lips, making a crisp sound. Wesasin let out a long belch, and collapsed on the bed, feeling that he was finally alive.
"How are you, Baron Wessassin, are you feeling better?" Raven's concerned voice came.
Wesasin's throat quivered, and he slowly turned his head. When he saw Raven, he suddenly put his elbow on the bed, turned over, and knelt in front of Raven with a thud.
This move was completely beyond Raven's expectation. He hurriedly stepped forward to help him, but Vesassin was a third-level knight after all. After kneeling down so seriously, Raven couldn't pull him up without his real ability.
Leaven said in a consultative tone: "Baron Wessassin, what you are doing is not in line with etiquette. We are both barons. If you have any questions, let's discuss it slowly."
"Baron Raven..." Wessazin's nose was sore and her voice was trembling: "...Please save me!!!"
"It's gone, it's all gone, the Kovoga family Hundreds of years of family business are all gone!”
"Please, help me, help me..."
To say that there was some acting in the beginning, but at this point, I really couldn't bear it anymore. Tears flowed out as if they were moneyless and fell to the ground, crying loudly.
He is a majestic baron who has lived his whole life in a dignified manner. Even after experiencing the battle with the Death Hand Order, he never thought that he would be in any danger.
But now, he lost the war, his territory was occupied, he was wandering in poverty, and almost died on the roadside like a wild dog.
Now he finally came to the Eagle Territory and met Raven, and Raven kindly took him in. This experience of escaping from death completely shattered his tense nerves. How could he Don't cry?
When he was almost done crying, Raven said: "Get up, Baron Wessassin, you are just too tired now. Take a good rest for a few days, and then we can talk again."
"No..." Weissachin sniffed, wiped the tears on his face, knelt down and crawled two steps to grab Raven's trousers: "Baron Raven, Raven Sheriff, please save me, otherwise, even if I kneel to death here, I will never get up!”
Wesasin made the decision while he was awake! The last decision was made because throughout Xuefeng County, only the newly emerged Raven had the slightest chance of competing with Broca.
Raven pulled his pants but they didn't twitch, so he had to let him go, a little dumbfounded: "Baron Wessassin, if you ask me to save you, you have to tell me how to save you, right?"
Wessasin breathed a sigh of relief. : "...I hope that as the county chief, you can summon Viscount Broca and ask him to withdraw from my territory."
"This..." Raven hesitated slightly.
This look made Wesasin's heart drop a little.
Broca's behavior is so arrogant that it is simply crazy. At this time, if Raven agrees outright, Wessassin's heart will beat.
Weissachin sobbed and said: "Baron Raven, I know this is forcing others to make things difficult, but I am really desperate!"
Indeed, according to imperial law, it is illegal to attack other noble territories without permission. The penalty will be a fine or, in severe cases, a title.
But the problem is that Broca's two strong statements occupied a lot of legitimacy, and Vesassin impulsively killed many of Broca's soldiers, which can indeed be regarded as provocation. .
Even if it is reported to the Noble Council and the two families accuse each other, the results may not be available for more than ten years.
And in the past ten years, Broca has been able to establish a stable rule in the Kojia Territory and train Wesassin's children into puppets. By then, there may really be a "recognition of thieves as fathers" drama.
Thinking of this, Wei Saxin gritted his teeth: "Your Eagle Territory has also been divided before, you should know how cruel this situation is!"
"If you are willing to help me, then I, Wei Sa Xin is willing to swear on my own and the souls of my ancestors that I will always I won’t betray you!”
This is already a very heavy oath for a noble. Raven thought for a moment and decided to agree:
“Baron Wessassin, get up first. . ”
But Wei Saxin misunderstood.
I don’t intend to agree to his rhythm!
Being in a different place, even if he is Raven, he is asked to come to his door alone by a person with whom he usually has no relationship, and he also asks him to fight against the only viscount in the county. Who can make such a request? I can’t agree!
That is to say, Baron Raven is kind-hearted and fair in dealing with things. If it were Wessassin himself, even if he did not hand the person over to Broca, he would still beat him out with a stick to avoid misunderstanding Viscount Broca.
By the way, it must be something that happened before Baron Raven was still jealous.
Vessasin immediately regretted it. There was no essential difference between the time he bullied Mrs. Doreen, an orphan and a widower, and Broca's invasion of his territory now. They were both bullying.
If he had not conflicted with Baron Raven, with Raven's spirit full of knightly glory, he would have helped him without hesitation!
"Baron Raven, I know I was wrong. Before, I always thought that the principles of the nobility were nothing more than a footcloth. Now I realize that I do not lend a helping hand to others, and I am not qualified to ask for help from others!"
Vessasin put his forehead on the ground, his voice pious and remorseful: "Although my treasure has fallen into Broca's hands, if you can help me regain the territory this time, then the vastness of Kejia Territory will be The plain will become your horse farm, and I will give you 200 horses every year as atonement!"
"In addition, my territory can also be divided..."
After hearing these words, Raven quickly squatted down and grabbed Wessazin's shoulders, fearing that he would make any outrageous conditions again: "Okay, I can take the war horses, but you must not do anything about territory. Mention.”
For Raven, the war horse is a good thing, but the territory is quite useless.
After all, the two territories are far apart. No one can manage a small enclave once it is obtained, and it will not generate much profit.
And Raven gradually figured out Weisazin's psychology.
Vessasin suffered a sudden change this time, his mind was shocked, and his whole person was in a very irrational state.
It's nothing to ask him to order a war horse at this time. If he really takes advantage of the situation and takes a piece of his territory, when he comes to his senses in the future, his friendship will become a mortal enemy.
Weissachin raised his head with hope in his eyes: "So, you are going to help me?"
"Of course, as the county chief, I am bound to do this kind of thing." Raven smiled and nodded: "You Take a good rest first, and I will write to Viscount Broca and invite him to come to my place."
Weissasin stood up, but did not rest, but looked directly at Raven. .
I felt a little uncomfortable after being looked at by him, so Lei Wen ordered someone to bring him paper and pen, and wrote the letter on the spot. After reading the content, Wei Saxin breathed a long sigh of relief, and his whole body suddenly became depressed. Go down.
As soon as he walked out of the door, Raven could hear Wessazin's thunderous snoring.
The door closed softly, covering up the loud snoring. Raven turned to look at Julia: "You handled this matter very well today. Go to Old Gordon to receive a reward, and then take two days off. Have a good rest."
"Yes, Lord Baron!" Julia bowed respectfully and turned to leave.
Although she loves going to work, Julia also enjoys her vacation.
After receiving his bounty, he left Eagle City humming a song, bought a bunch of candied haws on the roadside, ate it and hurried home slowly.
The candied haws on a stick is so delicious, but it’s a pity that spring is about to bloom and we won’t be able to see this good thing for more than half a year.
So Julia ate slowly and waited until she got to the door of the house, then threw the licked wooden skewer into the trash can.
"Huh..."
Close the door and lock it, Julia, who was slightly sweating, let out a long sigh of relief.
Wrinkled her nose, she hated this sticky feeling.
Standing in front of the Angel's Glory, looking at Keren in the mirror, Julia curled her lips slightly and began to take off her armor one by one, until the last piece of breastplate.
This is her happiest and most painful moment every day.
Onion-like fingers kept groping behind her back, and it took Julia a long while to find the short end of the rope. She pulled hard, and the breastplate immediately popped out.
Julia put her breastplate on and then made sure all the locks on the door were locked.
Then I started to take off my inner shirt.
It wasn’t until all the clothes were taken off that Julia focused on the white circles on her chest.
Carefully peel off the tape layer by layer, like peeling an onion, until it finally falls off.
Two huge rabbit-like rabbits suddenly came out of the cage.
Julia exhaled a long breath again. She had to worry about her figure every day.
After doing all this, Julia seemed to have exhausted every inch of strength in her body, lying comfortably on her bed, smelling the faint fragrance coming from it, and couldn't help but fall into a daze.
This bottle of Angel's Kiss perfume was personally rewarded to her by Lord Raven when she became an Eagle Eye Guard.
The ceiling above his head began to twist and deform for some unknown reason, gradually converging into the appearance of Baron Raven.
He always seems to have a faint smile on his lips, walking around with a confident look.
It is very different from the image in the rumors.
When can I see Baron Raven again?
This question popped up in Julia's mind for no reason, and then her heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably, and her cheeks became hot. The woman's shame made her feel a little slutty, but she was only 16 years old. Just like this, I think about this man day and night!
She quickly hid herself in the quilt and covered her head.
After a while, after calming down, he secretly poked his head out from under the quilt and ran to the bathroom in the room.
