Proof of the Sun King

"This is, a dog hole? No, it's not a dog anymore." Estelle took Ryan to the corner of the village wall. There were already several mercenaries standing at this position, the deputy of the Blood Axe Mercenary Group. The head of the regiment, Wirth, was also there, and Banda, who still had his arm on his chest, saw Ryan coming here, and both of them nodded. Wirth was because of Ryan's powerful strength, and Banda was because of Ryan's life-saving. Grace.

Mercenaries tend to be chaotic, and they pay more attention to affection than rules.

At the corner of the wall, a large hole was opened from below the foundation of the wall, and the bricks and dirt were dug by some kind of creature, leaving a hole big enough for two people to crawl through.

"We can't find enough material to fill it, and if this thing can bite through the foundation, it's useless for us to stuff anything." Wilt said worriedly.

"Furthermore, we found this." Estelle led a few people out of the fence and found a pile of rancid smell not far from the fence.

"Some kind of large creature?" Ryan asked curiously.

"It should be, judging from the shape of the feces, it should be a fairly large creature." Wilt made his own judgment. The great swordsman has been a mercenary for many years and has rich experience.

"Specially arrange two people to watch here at night!" Ryan felt that there was no other way. The forest in the distance stretched to the mountainside, and arranging people to go into the forest to find the trace of this beast was tantamount to giving them fresh of meat.

"Also, I just saw a flash of fire in the forest about 500 meters away from here. I suspect there are bandits on the mountain!" Estelle walked to Ryan and whispered in his ear.

"Can you be sure?" Now Ryan raised his vigilance. According to the previous guard commander Laurits, there were indeed bandits and robbers in the vicinity of Mount Hordaland.

There is no problem with the half-elf's ability to see in the dark. He said that if he saw the firelight, then he must have.

"Let me go for a trip myself!" Ryan nodded. There is no reason to be a thief for a thousand days. Since there are bandits infested, the best solution is to kill them.

In the cold winter, Nord's day itself was dark very early. They arrived at the abandoned village at 4:30. It was not even 6:00 now. Ryan returned to the big house in the center of the village, just in time to see Rost's commanding men continue to reinforce. Looking at the facilities of the big house: "You guys, plug this gap, yes, bring those wooden boards over, nail them with nails, and then tie them up with canvas!"

Seeing Ryan coming over, Rost smiled bluntly: "Mr. Ryan came early, we are still setting up the stove to boil water, and we will have to wait a long time to eat. If there is nothing else, Mr. Ryan can just stroll around, or have a conversation with him. Mr. Oliver and the others chat, the rough work is naturally done by the boys, and, Mr. Bilger is back, you are more willing to hear what he has gained."

"I'm going to leave for a while, go out to investigate the environment, and come back soon." Ryan said casually, and when he turned around, he found the sorceress standing behind him: "What's the matter, Teresa, it's cold outside, you stay inside the house Bar."

"I'm not a spoiled waste, Ryan, are you going out to investigate alone? Have you forgotten that we are teammates? Or is it that you can't be a partner, and you don't even want to be a teammate?" Teresa's silver pupils There was an aura of danger in it, and Ryan believed that as long as he didn't answer well, the sorceress could really look at him directly.

"Let's go and see the places we've allocated first." Ryan saw that many people wanted to watch the play, so he spread his hands and said that he didn't mean that.

As the two most powerful and honorable people in the team, Ryan and Teresa were assigned to a single-family hut, only a dozen steps away from the central big house. The hut was a one-bedroom, one-hall layout. The sorceress chose to live in the room inside, and the living room was handed over to Ryan to rest.

"Well~ this hole is not too big, and the air leakage at night should not be too severe, hahahaha~ You think so?" Ryan found that although the hut did not have a leaking roof, the walls of the living room were still damaged. With the mess of wooden boards and wrapped canvas, he felt that it was very good to have such an environment at night.

"What happened just now, what happened? Why don't you leave the investigation to those mercenaries? Why do you want you to go out?" Camel hair quilt.

"I took the initiative to go out and see if there was any game." Ryan explained a little: "It's such a cold day that I want to be active and get some meat to eat."

"Are men so restless? My father..." Teresa folded her arms and spoke impatiently, but she immediately realized that she said something she shouldn't have said, so she changed her mouth: "Okay, you Go, I'm here waiting for you to come back, I won't participate in the dinner outside."

About ten minutes later, the Kingdom Knight walked alone in the dark black forest. The snow had just stopped, and the sky was still densely covered with clouds. Most of the trunks of the trees were more than one person hugged. Lane's footsteps.

Ryan walked forward cautiously, thinking about the sorceress's words.

Teresa has a father, this is for sure. There is no daughter country in this world, and there is no child mother river that can directly guarantee pregnancy. The sorceress must have a father, and as far as Ryan knows, Teresa's mother Ou. Ruola turned out to be the daughter of an imperial nobleman. She eloped with the man and gave up her title. Finally, she joined the Garland Council with her powerful strength and settled in Sky Vault Castle.

Then this is very strange, because Ryan has met Ms. Aurora several times. She is an excellent woman full of wisdom and talent, so the man who can kidnap her is definitely not a lip-smacking waste or a ruffian. A rogue, reality is not an online novel, there are not so many useless protagonists who can easily gain the hearts of noble girls who have been educated by the orthodox medieval nobles, so Teresa's father is at least a person with certain skills.

Combined with the fact that the sorceress is twenty-seven years old this year, and Aurora, as a powerful witch, started to dominate the continent fifty years ago, so why did Teresa rarely mention her father? It doesn't look like there is hatred or shame on her face, does it?

I don't understand. Looking at Ms. Aurora, it doesn't look like she was abandoned.

"Forget it, when did I become curious about her?" I couldn't figure it out, there was too little information so far, so Ryan decided not to think about it at all. The man marched along the road in the forest. He was not one of those wood elves, and there was no way he could move forward secretly in the forest, so he had to be as careful as possible.

There was a joke once, "A knight is not afraid of dying in an honorable battle, but in an honorable death."

What is the weapon that kills the most knights?

Not swords, not arrows and magic.

It's a dung fork.

This kind of weapon commonly used by farmers has amazing lethality. Many glorious knights have been fighting for half their lives, and as a result, they have died under this weapon with shame, especially since feces often stick to this thing, and wound infection is even more deadly. Since ancient times So far, I don't know how many powerful knights have died under the dung fork.

Ryan has an extraordinary physique, and it is difficult for ordinary weapons to hurt him. However, as mentioned above, the legendary rank is not invincible and invincible against ordinary rank and elite rank enemies, and everything should be done with caution.

The kingdom knight carefully touched the direction pointed by Estelle. In fact, this matter should have been solved by the half-elf himself. It was not Lane's turn to go out. Lane just wanted to try his luck and see if he could make a difference. reward.

Luckily, he quickly discovered the trail of the bandit.

Under the big tree about 80 paces away from the Kingdom Knights, there was a group of people with torches, their clothes were tattered and full of patches, most of their armor was ill-fitting, and their weapons were also of various kinds. Exactly the same.

"Boss! The idea is tricky. There are too many people in this convoy. There are only twenty brothers. I'm afraid we can't beat them." said a bandit with braids.

"Yes, boss, I also saw several knights in full armor!" Some subordinates also added.

"Damn, but if we don't move, we haven't had a decent harvest recently, and the mountains will be covered by heavy snow. If we can't make a big vote before that, how will we spend the Winter Veil Festival?" With a machete, he pondered for a while, and then ordered: "So, Noah, you take a few people to squat here, and in the middle of the night, find a chance for them to relax, let the cigarettes go, and I will bring them directly. People rushed in from the secret passage, killed them by surprise, grabbed something and ran away."

"Got it, boss!" A small leader nodded, and the bandit leader looked at the camp below the mountain unwillingly. If the convoy had been smaller, he would have already rushed down with people.

The Winter Veil Festival is approaching. Only by making a big ticket can you enjoy the festival well, right?

"Shit, it's all these vampires, a bunch of **** from the Empire and Marienburg, they stole our wealth, they stole our stuff, and everything in Nord belongs to Nord! Remember, man We, we are not robbery, we are doing things for heaven! We must not sit back and watch these **** take away the wealth that belongs to us!" The bandit leader said cursingly: "I'm going to **** these businessmen crap, they are every day. Can you make a lot of money by doing nothing? This stuff is supposed to belong to us! Kill these vampires, long live Nord!"

"The boss said yes!"

"We've already seen these junkies that are not pleasing to the eye!"

"There will be some, there will be some! There will be bread, and there will be milk."

"Make a big deal and go home to the Winter Veil Festival!"

The bandits shouted, and most of the bandits quickly followed the leader and left under the big tree. They seemed to have a special path in the forest, and there was no sound when they walked.

Only the little leader named Noah and the four bandits continued to squat under the big tree. From Ryan's point of view, there was a facility similar to a watchtower on the branch of the big tree, which could monitor the abandoned villages under the mountain. One move.

Thinking about the leader of the bandit, Ryan has the answer in his heart. It seems that there are secret passages dug by bandits in the abandoned village. The whole resting point is the trap of bandits, which lures the fragrant prey into the trap. If the prey is too strong , they would pretend that nothing happened, and if the prey was weak, they would swarm up, kill passers-by, rob them of their money, take their lives, and say, "Fight to protect the wealth of the Nord kingdom. ."

Really imposing acting.

How to do it?

Ryan's mind turned, there is!

Several people from Noah were cooking around the small fire under the big tree: "Damn, who didn't light the fire before? Accidentally lit the firewood? Let me stand up!"

"It's not me, it's not me!" Several bandits quickly shook their heads.

"Ge Laozi, you all be careful with me. What if we are found out? Mommy~ There are several knights below, I knew we would meet..."

"What did you meet? A knight?" A ghostly voice appeared from behind several people, a handsome man with a huge two-handed war hammer and a suit of chain armor suddenly appeared from the shadows: "I am the Nord White Wolf Knight. 'Sledgehammer' Ryan! Son of Norman, Lord of Ortenne~www.wuxiahere.com~ What are you guys doing here?!"

The visitor is tall and tall, the knight's badge on his chest flashes under the firelight, and the white wolf head gives people a strong pressure.

"Who are you!" The little leader raised the sword in his hand subconsciously, and said sternly, "Put down the weapon... and take out the valuables!"

"Humph!" Ryan directly reached out and grabbed the blade and took it away. Under the powerful brute force, the blade was bent into a lump of iron and threw it on the ground: "The valuables are here, come and get it? !"

A few thieves were so frightened that their hearts and guts were torn apart. The ruthlessness and rhetoric from before were all gone. Noah took the lead and knelt down: "No, no! Sir Knight, we didn't mean to offend you, we are just villagers who went into the mountains to hunt!"

"Lie!" Ryan's right hand slammed out, and the trunk of the big tree beside the Kingdom Knight was directly pierced. The flying sawdust and snowflakes fell in the forest, causing a sound, and several thieves were frightened by the powerful force. , kowtow desperately: "We were wrong! My lord! We are just villagers who can't survive. We are helpless and come out to block the road! These are the boss's ideas, not ours! Not ours!"

Sure enough, Ryan looked at the frightened bandit and thought that his guess was right.

These bandits should only be villagers who couldn't survive, and they chose to be robbers in desperation. They were cruel and vicious in the face of those merchants and travelers, but they had a natural fear in the face of knights like Ryan.

This kind of fear is engraved in the bones. It doesn't disappear after a few harsh words or a weapon in his hand. Ryan showed his strength a little, and their fighting spirit instantly disintegrated.

"Take me to your boss, hurry up!"

"Yes Yes!"
