Chapter 501 Situation
Hydera is a large city located in the northeast of the Principality of Eton and is also the capital of the principality. The Principality of Eton is a member of the Protestant Alliance. After the war broke out, although the Principality of Eton was not directly Bordering the territory of the Church, it was one of the first countries to begin supporting the Horned Bay Alliance. The Principality soon sent a force to join the Horned Bay Alliance at its border.
However, when the Skitarii led by the church carried out a large roundabout attack by capturing a number of small neutral countries in the northern part of the Horn Bay, the Principality of Eton, which had no domestic military power, immediately fell into a dangerous situation.
Not long ago, bad news came. The Skitarii captured Marta, the most important fortress town in the north of the principality, and opened the door to Hydera.
You don’t need to think about it to know that the Skitarii are now marching towards Hydra.
Now the whole city of Hydera has fallen into panic. All kinds of unreliable and unreliable opinions are spread in the streets. Some say that the Skitarii have carried out massacres in Marta and its surroundings, and some say that the Skitarii have carried out massacres in and around Marta. The army only arrested Protestants who were still willing to worship the church. Some said that the Skitarii had retreated after suffering too much losses after a series of sieges.
Rumors abound and people's hearts are floating. Many people are preparing to leave the city with their families to escape to other places to avoid the war. Carriages and pedestrians carrying packages can be seen everywhere on the street.
“Ah——ah——!”
A young mother kneeling on the ground screamed in horror, holding a crying baby tightly in her arms , in the direction she was facing, a black carriage was speeding towards her.
Just now, she fell in the middle of the street because she was dodging another carriage. The baby she was holding rolled onto the road. Before she could think about it, she rushed over and picked up the baby again. However, she didn't expect that New dangers are coming soon.
The speed of the carriage made the young mother's mind go blank. She could not make any reaction and seemed to have given up hope. Or she had no time to weigh whether to give up on survival. Her instinct made her close her eyes tightly and she couldn't help but Scream at the top of your lungs.
But there was only a loud bang, and the bloody scene that was supposed to happen did not happen.
After reacting, the young mother opened her eyes tremblingly, and a horrifying scene appeared in front of her.
Two black horses - each as tall as a person - were lying on the road, twisting their bodies and neighing in pain from their mouths. They struggled and tried hard to stand up from the ground, but this was doomed to be in vain. Although their forelimbs were intact, their hind limbs were bloody and bloody.
A thick and long iron chain circled the horse and the cart together, and then fell to the ground with a crash.
The people around saw clearly what happened in an instant. Just when the horse's hooves were about to step on the poor woman's weak body, the thick iron chain suddenly appeared, like a black python turning its body. The cart and horse were tied up in an instant. The horse pulling the cart in front was pulled to a stop by the iron chain, and the cart behind it crashed into the back of the horse due to inertia - the poor horse.
At the side and rear of the carriage, stood a strong man like an iron tower. He was estimated to be more than two meters tall. He only wore a pair of gray-green linen trousers and was bare-chested. His brown skin was covered with tattoos. Wearing complex tattoos, the most impressive thing is his broad shoulders and powerful muscles. His arms seem to be thicker than an adult's thighs, and his exaggerated body shape makes him stand like an inverted triangle.
The black python-like iron chain comes from the strong man. He holds the end of the iron chain with both hands and has no expression on his face.
For the lady who had just escaped, the image of the strong man seemed to be more intimidating than the carriage that almost ran over her just now. She hurriedly got up from the ground and said tremblingly "Thank you. ”, he hugged the child and ran away without even having time to pat away the sand and soil on his body. Without saying a word, the strong man shook the iron chain with one hand. The iron chain that was still around the carriage returned to his side as if it were alive, and then wrapped around the strong man's body. From a distance, it looked like the strong man's body. More like armor.
Next to the strong man was a young man with black hair. He smiled and clapped his hands, "You are still happy to help others as always, Sita!"
The man named Sita replied: "Helping the weak is a good thing. A virtue."
"Haha", Nathan shook his shoulders.
On the other side of the carriage, the driver was unconscious, and the sound of "bang bang bang" banging on the door came from the carriage. After a while, the door of the carriage opened with a bang.
A middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes and an aristocratic look leaned out half of his body, but he was a little embarrassed at this time, with bright red blood oozing from his forehead, and the corners of his mouth and the left side of his face were all blue. piece.
"Who! Who did this?"
He was furious and shouted to the surroundings at the top of his lungs.
The strong man who rescued people and the young man beside him have long since disappeared.
The Grizzly Bear Hotel is famous for its unique architectural and decorative style in Hydra City. The architectural style in the Corner Bay area is mostly famous for its exquisite elegance and bright colors. The building materials are mostly made of wood or fine red. Bricks, the taverns here naturally follow this path, but the Grizzly Bear Hotel, which stands in the commercial area of Hydera City, is like a boulder placed in the garden. It was dug directly out of a single piece. Made of gray mountain rocks.
The entire building is three stories high. The first floor provides food and beverages and functions as a pub and restaurant, while the second and third floors provide accommodation services. The roof of this building does not have a pointed roof like other Cape Bay buildings, but a flat roof. What is even weirder is that there are stacked walls around the roof. This feature makes the Grizzly Bear Hotel look like a fortress.
Merchants and travelers are not very fond of this hotel, but it is very popular with adventurers and mercenaries. They believe that this building can keep their bodies and minds alert, thereby preventing them from being sapped by the bustling life of Corner Bay. ——It feels even better to sleep in it. Real men should stay in this kind of hotel.
It is precisely because of this that after the war broke out in the Corner Bay, while other hotels' business became increasingly declining as merchants and tourists fled for refuge, the Grizzly Bear Hotel was occupied by mercenaries who gathered smelling the smell of blood. Business with adventurers has become more and more prosperous.
But what no one would have imagined is that the Grizzly Bear Tavern is one of the secret strongholds of a mage organization in the Horn Bay.
"Alas, what a bunch of trash." Edward complained to a red-haired lady in a room located in the southeast corner of the third floor.
The current situation made him very upset. He really failed to live up to his hard work.
