Chapter 1539 Reward
Two days later, Gale and Gruando had just finished their meal in the small town and were about to continue their journey to the northeast. Just as they were about to leave the city, they saw several sheriffs posting a reward notice. On the board, many people gathered to watch.
Originally, there is nothing unusual about this kind of reward notice. If someone commits a crime in the city, the public security station will often post some reward notices in order to quickly catch the criminal. People who are not from this city, passing business travelers People rarely go out of their way to read such notices. However, after this notice was posted, it quickly attracted a lot of attention and discussion. In this way, the people who were preparing to leave the city became curious and gathered around to watch. More and more people watched.
Gurondo rode the big rented horse, kicked the pedals of the wind with his feet, raised his chin and said: "It's quite lively, go and have a look."
The two danced He dismounted, led his mount towards the notice board, squeezed into the crowd, and was startled when he saw the photo of the reward on the notice board. Gruando was shocked: "Isn't this person..." He quickly stopped talking and went to read the contents of the reward order. After reading it, he and Hayate squeezed out of the crowd together and whispered: "It turns out that the woman is Ade. Leah’s royal princess! So she escaped from those pirates.”
Hayate frowned deeply in thought. They had been traveling in the past few days and heard a lot about what happened in Adria. The country they were in now was also panicked because of this.
Grandeau felt deeply regretful and said: "She is the princess of Adria. Her family is just... alas~!" Grandeau sighed: "It's really pitiful. What happened to her is like this. What happened was really tragic, but those pirates were really good at killing people. Not to mention the royal family of Adria, they also sent a reward order to neighboring countries. How did they do it? Hey, Hayate, isn't it a little bit that we just left her in the hospital? He only spoke half a sentence, but his worry was palpable.
For the past two days, Hayate has been feeling uneasy about leaving Hefemi behind, as if there was a thorn in his heart. This time when I saw the notice of the reward, I felt anxious again. He frowned, used space magic to take out the wedding gift for his sister Qin, put it into Grando's hand, turned over and jumped on the horse.
Grundo held the gift box and said, "Hey, what are you doing? You're not going back to find her, are you? It's not long before Liqin's wedding."
Gale pulled the horse's rein and said, "Take the gift back, I will rush back as soon as possible." After saying that, he tucked his legs under the horse's belly and ran towards the city gate.
"Hey, hey..." Gruanduo also quickly jumped on the horse and chased after him: "She is your only sister. Do you really want to miss her wedding? How about I go back to find her for you. ”
The wind turns back He said, "I'm afraid it's dangerous, so you can't go. In case I can't make it back for Qin's wedding, give her the gift for me and tell her that I'm sorry." He rode out of the city and turned around. He flew away in the direction he came from.
“Alas~!” Gruando glanced at the gift box in his hand and looked up at the direction where the wind was going: “I hope you can come back before the wedding. Without your blessing, Qin will definitely It will be very sad." Then he stepped back and walked away.
......
Beside the tide, heavy rain poured down, a coastal city was built specifically to prevent pirates. The strong cannons on the solid city walls were slowly sailing towards the sea. The coming pirate warship.
The general who was guarding the city in battle armor held a sword in his hand and stood on the city wall personally to direct the upcoming battle: "Everyone, take your positions. Wait for the pirates to enter the shooting range and listen to my order to fire."
This is It was a fortified city, and the generals who defended it were confident that they would not be breached by pirate fire until the pirates retreated. At this time, a deputy general ran quickly from one end of the city wall. He reported to the guard in panic: "General, there are a large number of enemies in the east of the city, flying the flag of pirates, and they are coming this way."
"What!?" The guard was shocked: "How could the pirates come from the land, and how could they get behind us?" This seaside fortress is located at the upper mouth of the bay, with the sea to the west and south, and the sea to the east and west. To the north is land, which is the key to protecting the mouth of the bay.
The guard had just stopped shouting in shock when he saw another officer running towards him. He shouted in panic: "It's not good, General, it's not good, the pirates from the land are about to attack!"< br>
The guard asked: "How many people have come on land, why do you dare to attack?"
The officer said: "It seems that there are probably several thousand people, but..."
"But what? Tell me quickly." The guard asked anxiously and angrily.
The officer said: "But there are more royal troops in front of those pirates, more than ten thousand in number!" The guard was startled, thinking he heard wrong, and asked again: "You mean the royal army? "
"Yes, it is the army of our kingdom," the officer said with certainty.
The guard general was greatly eclipsed, and everyone was stunned. He lost his voice and said, "Who can tell me what is going on? How come the kingdom's army is with the pirates?" He managed to calm down. In order to deal with the pirate attack, all the troops were mobilized. Concentrated on the west and south sides, the defenses in the east and north are extremely empty. If the pirates attack the city from land, the coastal fortress will definitely not be protected. Immediately order the troops to attack the city. The subordinates rearranged their troops and said to the guard officers around them: "Go to Tongyi and contact the governor and ask him what is going on, why are there pirates attacking from the land, and why are there still royal troops?"
"Yes." The guard officer responded with his head slightly lowered. His eyes met with the deputy general who came to report the news, and a strange color flashed in their eyes at the same time.
Several heralds around them immediately went to notify each team to mobilize troops, and the guards officers also turned around and went behind the guard to leave. At this moment, the deputy general who came to report the news suddenly shot the assassin with a short sword. The sword popped out of his sleeve quickly. He grabbed the sword and stabbed it into the gap in the armor on the guard's abdomen.
"What are you doing?!"
The deputy general leaned against the dagger and said: "There is no need to find the governor, because he has been assassinated."
The guard was frightened and angry, and he raised his broad palm to open the person in front of him. Suddenly, another sharp knife pierced his heart from behind, making him stunned. Looking back, he saw his personal guard officer holding the handle of the knife, and blood flowing along the blade onto the guard's metal gauntlet.
"You...!!" The guard pointed at his personal guard, his eyes widened and he couldn't believe it.
The guard officer looked at him coldly and said: "I have advised you a long time ago, but you refused to listen. You forced me to do so."
"...You... ...You actually betrayed me..."
"You are too ignorant of current affairs." The guard officer pulled out his knife, blood spurted out, and then the sword flashed, and the guard's head was killed by the informant. The lieutenant cut it off.
The surrounding soldiers were frightened and stood there in a daze, not daring to move.
The deputy general raised the head of the guard in the air and shouted: "The general is dead, and now the pirates have surrounded this place. Those who want to live put down their weapons and surrender to the pirates, and those who want to die, I will do it now Let him die!”
On the city wall, the officer who was close to the lieutenant general had already put down his weapon, and then the soldiers under this officer also put down their weapons, and then his officers also put down their weapons, sir. He voted, and the soldiers followed suit.
Such things happen everywhere in the neighboring countries to the north of Adria, and they spread. Corruption and rebellion, under the power of 'pirates', have always been intimidated by bandits from the West Sea. The national power corrupted by the corrupt policies of pirates has long been vulnerable.
The same thing was found in the neighboring country to the south of Adria. This is a relatively clean country. The monarch of this country is also very wise, but even this cannot stop the invasion of 'pirates'. . Integrity and unyielding officials were assassinated one by one, and the corrupt were taken in one by one. The Holy Armor Beric led the army obtained from Adria and invaded this country. At the same time, the warships along the coast were also plundered by 'pirates'. The war was fierce, and all the resisters were killed and all surrendered. The people became the vanguard of the next wave of offensive. Under Fried's command, his troops soon snowballed.
"Are these pirates related to the Creation Kingship?" Inaniga watched all this and took in all the scenes here.
