Chapter 141 Witch
Two soldiers, carrying loaded muskets, walked carefully to Barnett's body. One of them stretched out his foot and kicked the body.
After seeing no response, they squatted down, carefully inspected the wizard's body, and made a safety gesture backwards.
Paul and others were completely relieved.
"Treat the wounded quickly!" Paul ordered loudly, and sent people on horseback to rush towards Port Fulan, asking the town to send carriages and doctors to rush over immediately.
The soldiers spread out to check the injuries of their fallen comrades.
It was confirmed that 15 soldiers in the first team were dead, and the rest were all seriously injured and temporarily incapacitated.
The captain of the guard, Victor, was very lucky. He fainted after being kicked in the face by the wizard, but he was still breathing. Several ribs may have been broken by the kick.
Ladi came to Barnett's body and said in an inaudible voice: "Same kind? Compatriots? That's just your own wishful thinking."
The blood has stained the body red. On the ground below, there was a large pool of intestines flowing out, and the scene was extremely disgusting.
She knelt down, looked closely at Barnett's wounds, and touched his skin with her hands.
"This feeling...well, it is indeed [Stone Skin Technique]. It is really not easy to be able to exert the effect of [Stone Skin Technique] to such an extreme."
She secretly She was shocked by the huge power of the musket. Such a perverted defense was easily broken by the bullet. The wizard did not dodge and resisted Victor's full sword. She could see it clearly.
Judging from the several large holes in Barnett's back, several bullets penetrated directly through his body. The Earl has really created an incredible weapon.
She felt someone approaching from behind, stood up and looked back, it was Count Grayman.
Paul looked solemn and said slowly: "First of all, I would like to thank you for saving my life and that of my men. Without the 'cover' you created to buy time, we would have all been killed by the 'wizard'."< br>
La Di's heart lifted slightly, and there was an obvious sense of distance in the other party's words.
Sure enough, Paul changed the subject, "But, shouldn't you explain something to me? Learn! Miss! Miss!"
"Lord Earl, I... "The female consultant hesitated.
Paul waved his hand and said: "Forget it, this is not the place to talk. I will talk to you in detail when we arrive at Fulan Port."
The female advisor lowered her head and said, "Yes, Your Majesty the Earl."
More than an hour later, a convoy rushing from Fulan Port arrived. After loading the bodies of the wounded and sacrificed soldiers onto the carriage, everyone continued to Fulan Port. Depart from Langang.
There were also some wounded who had injured their ribs, such as Victor, who could only be slowly carried to Port Fulan on stretchers.
Paul issued a silence order to all the soldiers present. Not a word of what happened today was allowed to be told to outsiders, because it involved wizards and magic, and he was afraid of attracting the intervention of church forces.
The soldiers who can be screened into the internal security system are absolutely loyal to the Graiman family, so Paul trusts them. Even if many people have guessed the true identity of the consultant, they will keep silent. Say nothing.
...
After arriving at Port Fulan, Paul exchanged a few polite words with the mayor and others who came out to greet him, and then went straight to the Navy Headquarters.
After arriving at the heavily guarded naval base, he truly relaxed, and then summoned Navy Commander Austin alone.
After confirming that there were only two of them in the room, Paul spoke.
"Austin, do you know what happened to me on the road? It's incredible! It's terrible!"
Austin has learned that Paul's arrival this time brought a large number of wounded people, and he has already guessed what happened on the road.
"Lord Graiman, are you okay? Have all the assassins been caught? Or are they dead or escaped?" "He was killed by us with a musket, and I took his body with us. Arrive at Fulan Port."
"It's a pity that there are no accomplices lurking in the dark."
< br>The internal security forces are not vegetarians. How could one person cause so many casualties?
Paul said solemnly: "Austin, you are not allowed to tell anyone what I say next!"
"Yes, Lord Grayman!"
"You swear!"< br>
“I swear on my own character that I will obey your orders!”
Austin swore on his own character with a serious look on his face. After being together for so long, he knew that Paul had no respect for gods and the like. No cold.
Paul then whispered: "The person who attacked us was a 'wizard'. He just walked up to us in such a swagger and killed and injured so many people."
Then he told in detail The whole story.
"This...this is really surprising!"
Although he was a little stunned, the naval commander had not yet reached the point where Paul's three views were shattered before.
For legendary groups like wizards, Austin has always had an attitude of rather trusting them than trusting them, and now it has been confirmed by the Earl himself.
He said: "Master Graiman, there is no need to panic. According to your description, they can still be killed by muskets."
"Yes! You are right, we must let All the soldiers are equipped with muskets. After returning to Huxin Town, I will start to expand the scale of the arsenal."
"Next time I encounter such a madman, I will definitely beat him to death. Sieve."
Paul was still frightened. Without the musket, he would have hung up on the road this time.
"So, what are you going to do with Miss Ladi?"
Judging from Paul's description of her, this beautiful and intellectual female counselor must also be a witch. Will the count give her to the church for disposal? That would be such a shame.
Paul said: "Please help me call the consultant lady over. I have something to ask her."
Austin stood up and said, "Yes, sir. But please allow me To be honest, Miss Ladi saved your life and the lives of many brothers. You must think twice before you act."
Paul nodded and said, "Don't worry, Austin, I am not a person. An ungrateful person."
Austen returned quickly with the female consultant after going out.
He said: "Then, I will take my leave first."
"Okay - ah no, Austin, you also stay and listen together. Miss Ladi, please sit down too."
After both sat down, Paul calmed down. He faced the female consultant and asked in a calm tone as much as possible: "Miss Ladi, do you have anything to say to me?"
The female consultant met his gaze and replied: "Lord Grayman, as you have already confirmed in your heart, I am indeed a wizard. Of course, people like us prefer to call ourselves mages."< br>
Her face turned red, with a hint of guilt in her tone: "I'm sorry that I hid this identity from you. But please don't worry, I didn't lie before, and I am indeed a person. Famous scholar.”
"So, what do you decide to do with me now?"
