Fairy’s Box

Edinburgh's western suburbs, Portman Manor.

"All the people in the house! Don't stand at the window! Scarlett, let the valet seal the window! Natalia, Leon, take all the women to the cellar! There's a war going on here. It's gone!"

Earl Portman stood in front of the gate and gave orders to everyone.

The aging count, acting like a commander, ordered everyone to do what he said. The servants were amazed and terrified. They didn't know what was going on, but they were accustomed to obey the Count's orders.

The vigorous anti-insect campaign has just begun, and national mobilization always requires a process. At present, the joint efforts of the Kingdom and the officers can only be solved first from Edinburgh. Even if there is a intention to block the news, there will still be one or two fish that slip through the net.

The servants only knew that shortly after the lunch, two close friends of the Count Lord hurriedly visited the manor, and then everything changed, and the atmosphere in the manor became tense!

Because the Earl of Portman told everyone that a large number of robbers were about to attack the manor.

It's unbelievable that there are robbers in the suburbs of Edinburgh, under the eyes of the Queen and the Governor.

The servants could hardly believe what the Count said, but they could see from the master's expression that it was not a joke. Could it be that the robbers really hit the capital's feet?

Alas, at this rhythm, breaking the country will end sooner or later.

Under the urging of Earl Portman, these frightened people prepared for defense according to the master's instructions. Of course, the servants did not receive any military training, and the earl was not very talented in that regard, so he reluctantly The team that has been pulled up looks like a weak chicken.

Those shivering servants, wearing ill-fitting antique armor and carrying bows and arrows that could not be drawn, stood pale behind the fence of the manor. In disrepair, the wormhole-riddled ballista was dug out of the cellar by the Count and installed on the roof and behind the fence wall.

All the expensive glass has been removed from the windows and replaced by layers of wooden panels, which are patchwork of expensive furniture in the manor and nailed to the windows askew to prevent stabs from bows and crossbows Put on.

More than 30 guards who were barely able to be considered real combatants stood on the lawn, holding long bows and short swords, and their hearts were full of anxiety-their usual job was fire prevention and theft, and they had never fought thugs who would kill without blinking an eye. .

The silent Master Portman passed by them, inspecting the line with a pretense of majesty, glancing across everyone's faces, checking their longbows and quivers.

Although the parasite really wanted to improve the morale of the troops in this way, his subordinates did not seem to buy it, because at close range, everyone could see the too pale face of the Count.

The master is so insecure, does the servant still have the confidence?

However, the parasite cannot be blamed for this incident. He has shown enough calmness, and his pale face is entirely due to the fact that the owner of the body was originally a rice bucket whose body was emptied by the color of wine. After being parasitized, it will naturally only get worse.

The other two parasites who were lucky enough to escape from Edinburgh were sitting in the hall fully armed, rubbing the swords in their hands.

They didn't know that what happened to them at the moment was the result of Will's whistleblower. I thought that the cunning and evil governor had some magic to find out all the parasites accurately. Therefore, instead of considering an escape method such as sneaking into the crowd, it was a desperate attempt to prepare for a counterattack.

Of course, in the current situation where everyone is shouting and beating, they can't reveal their identities, so they want to rely on the highest-ranked Master Portman to stabilize the situation, and then organize all the unexposed companions to fight a battle" Aristocratic War".

Victory or defeat is not important, as long as the turbid waters of the Highland Kingdom can be mixed as much as possible, the connection between the nobles and the commoners can be completely separated, and everyone loses trust and suspicion of each other, it is already the highest victory for the parasites.

As for the army of the Governor's Palace, they have never considered the possibility of winning - the fire of life repels everything that is not me, and the parasite is not easy to face the warriors who ignite the grudge.

At present, all this is just the imagination of these parasites, because the main premise of all actions is that they can withstand this wave of "robbers".

"They're here." A male parasite raised his head.

"Can we resist it?" The female parasite's hand holding the sword trembled slightly, looking far less calm than the other two.

The male parasite let out a long sigh and said softly:

"For the master, we must fight."

At this time, there were loud shouts from outside the manor, and the vibration of hundreds of people running along the ground spread into the fence wall, and everyone could feel the ground trembling and whimpering.

"Damn robbers!"

Earl Portman shook his teeth, and then ordered the warrior next to him:

"Ready to fight!"

A few minutes later, a large and complete army appeared at the entrance of the manor. They were holding spears and swords with blood sticking to them. It didn't look like they were coming for a friendly visit.

However, what made the servants puzzled was why the robbers were wearing the flag of the kingdom, why the robbers were so well equipped, and why the robbers were still shouting "kill all the demons".

What is a demon?

Just as the servants looked at the army, the soldiers of the army and their leader were also looking at each other. Looking at the manor that had been turned into a simple castle, the leader naturally knew that something had slipped through the net.

In order to reduce the loss, he gave birth to the idea of ​​persuading surrender, and shouted loudly:

"Surrender, we are only here to eradicate the demon Portman, who has been possessed by the demon's parasite and is no longer the earl of the kingdom. You are innocent, surrender, as long as you surrender, your lives will be guaranteed. !"

Shameless! There are such shameless people in the world!

The parasites scolded bitterly in their hearts. They clearly adhered to the principle of killing the wrong and never letting go. The head of the beheading people was rolling. At this moment, they still had the face to stand up and persuade them to surrender.

Then again, they had seen the behavior of the villains outside the door, but those servants and guards didn't know that when they saw that the other party could guarantee their own safety, their shaky fighting spirit was quickly extinguished.

He is not good at fighting, and his number is far less than the opponent's. It seems that there is no hope of victory. If you can guarantee the safety of your life, it is better to surrender.

"Don't listen to the nonsense of this group of robbers, they don't intend to let anyone go, even if they surrender, there is only one way to go! I am considered to be possessed by demons, and the same as you who I have come into contact with, they will kill you Then burn your corpses. Don't ask me why I know, they do this even in my house! If you don't believe me, let him swear to the ancestral spirit and swear that he will guarantee your safety." Gao male parasite Responded.

Its words undoubtedly shook the idea of ​​surrender of the soldiers around him. Surrender is also dead, and resistance is also dead. After a good afternoon, how come a catastrophe suddenly happened - the servants wanted to cry without tears.

"You're just a stray dog ​​that came out of Edinburgh. Just right, I'll kill you all together to find the Governor and the Queen to receive the reward!" The leader naturally wouldn't swear, he was still in awe of the ancestors, and immediately announced angrily. attack:

"Give it to me, kill them all!"

A rune warrior beside him immediately raised a horn and put it on his mouth to preach. In the sound of the horn, which seemed to be high-pitched and vast, the robbers instantly tore off their hypocritical masks and started to attack.

"Kill!"

Although the robbers shouted loudly, they did not rashly hit the fence wall. Instead, they took barrels of black oil that was originally used to burn corpses, ignited them, and threw them into the manor.

Bang Bang Bang!

The burning wooden barrel was splashed with flames and smashed into the manor like a meteorite. When it landed, it was a sea of ​​fire, and it continued to expand as the black oil spread.

"Fire out, put out the fire for me!" Earl Portman screamed and organized the servants to put out the fire.

More than a dozen male servants quickly put down their weapons, ran to the water tank in the manor, picked up the water tank together, and splashed it into the burning fire.

呲——!

The flames did not go out when they met the water, but they burned more and more vigorously. The fire spread to the servants at once, and just as they screamed, dozens of wooden barrels were thrown into the fence wall.

Huhuhu-!

The black oil floated on the water and flowed freely, and the flames licked any flammable substances, gathered and spread with each other, and a huge sea of ​​fire soon enveloped the entire manor.

"Run!"

"The fire is on, the fire is on!"

"We surrender! We surrender!"

The servants and guards suddenly lost the courage to resist, and fled outside without their helmets and armors.

"You fools, you are all fools!"

Earl Portman jumped up and down in a hurry, scolding these servants for their stupidity. If they don't need to die for the time being, they will die if they surrender. Why don't they understand such a simple truth.

Just after these rabble escaped from the sea of ​​​​fire, suddenly dozens of black shadows were shot from the opposite side, which were short spears about three feet long. These short spears came from the hands of the guards, and the power attached to them was very strong, making these short spears tear the air and make a whimpering sound.

These people didn't have time to scream, they were pierced by these short spears, and fell to the ground like wheat. After the murder weapon pierced the first target, it also penetrated the second and third. Target!

"Kill, you can't stay alive, everyone here may be infected with parasites." The commander of the guard army looked at the army leader and reminded coldly.

"Yes."

The leader looked at the people who were wailing in the sea of ​​​​fire, and his face showed a trace of unbearable, and then he returned to cold blood and cruelty: "Give it to me! The hand-blade parasite can be knighted! There are at least two parasites here! Who is the first to kill? Whoever arrives."

"Kill!"

The hungry wolves screamed and rushed up, mercilessly wielding their swords, tearing anyone who tried to rush out of the fire to pieces.

In the sea of ​​fire in the manor, the three parasites stared blankly at this scene. Seeing the miserable state of the servants, no one had the courage to rush out, and could only let the flames devour their own bodies.

"What should we do? Are we still alive?" the female parasite asked desperately.

"The opponent is too ruthless and decisive. We should have made great achievements, but we were wiped out..."

The male parasite stared at the ferocious robbers outside the fire, and even though he was in the fire, he still felt a chill all over his body:

"Have you seen it, he is manipulating people's desires, and everyone has lost their minds in their desires and turned into demons that are crueler than us."

"We have no chance...all parasites have no chance."

Portman shook his head stiffly, his eyes turned to the blue sky, and he sighed in pain:

"Most of our members are waiting for orders in Edinburgh. Now they have swept to the suburbs, and they have obviously wiped out the roots. Even if the survivors are desperately infected, they will not be able to cooperate with their masters in a short time."

In the sea of ​​scorching fire, the three parasites fell silent in unison. In the dark, there seemed to be a deep laughter that penetrated the curtain of fire, penetrated into their eardrums, and implanted fear into the depths of their souls.

Master... can Master really beat him?

In the repeated questions from the heart, the parasites were shaken, and the flames quickly devoured their bodies, killing the parasites buried deep in the flesh, leaving behind three charred mummified corpses.

...

After Portman Manor burned to ruins, the robbers quickly found the bodies of three parasites by distinguishing the bones. Cut off their heads full of parasite corpses, seal them with mud and put them in iron buckets, happily preparing for the next massacre, no, it's purification!

According to the historical records of future generations, the "anti-insect campaign" in the Highland Kingdom was an iron fist action that mobilized all the forces of the country against the parasitic demons. Fast, fierce, and the wind swept across the country, not only fundamentally eliminating the hidden dangers in the kingdom, but also hitting the arrogance of the demon Calf hard. It is a great victory for all the Celtic people and good allies.

Although occasionally flawed, this operation was undoubtedly a just and holy war, uniting all the people of the kingdom, and at the same time establishing an unbreakable friendship between Rosvia and the Highlands.

As for the economic and population loss of the Highland Kingdom, no one would care, just as no one would care how many innocent people were affected.

The vast majority of historians believe that their deaths were "crystal flaws", and it is difficult to avoid a little loss in order to eliminate the parasitic demons in a short period of time. All in all, the Queen is wise and wise, the Governor is benevolent and good at fighting, and all the warriors involved in the movement are brave and tenacious.

Although there are gaps in the details, the campaign was indeed a success, but the queen was not so wise, the governor was not at all kind, and the soldiers were a bunch of scumbags.

However, the ending has withstood the test of time. The parasites were wiped out in the shortest time, and all the eyes of the evil **** Calf were destroyed, avoiding greater war losses and twists and turns, which is completely consistent with history.

As long as there are real victories and achievements, black spots or something, the people don't care.
