"Chuck! Get the hell out of here! "
The furious Sir Tommen pushed the bedroom door open with a forceful push. On the big bed in the bedroom, there was a figure undulating. Chuck was lying on a woman when he saw his uncle coming. He was shocked and wrapped his lower body with the quilt beside him. He asked in panic, "Uncle Tuomen, why are you here?"
The woman on the bed screamed and shrank into a corner. Tuomen glared at her fiercely and gestured. The two wolf-like guards behind him dragged the woman out and closed the bedroom door.
"Why can't I come? Look at what you've done. You actually messed up! "Tuomen roared.
Chuck pointed at his swollen mouth and shouted, "Uncle, you can't blame me for this. Look, that country bumpkin actually hit me! "
Tuomen casually swept his cane under his feet, causing Chuck to scream. The baron's face darkened, and anger surged in his eyes, "You're still quibbling. Turanke has already told me that if you hadn't spoken so rudely from the beginning, there might have been room for a turnaround. Damn it, do you know what a good opportunity this is for us? It wasn't easy for me to get this good job from Lord Daniel, but you, you idiot, wasted my hard work! "
Chuck covered his feet and said, "Uncle, it's just a Sir from the Border. What's the big deal?"
"You're really …" Tuomen was so angry that his entire body trembled. In the end, he tore off the oil painting in the room and tore the scene worth hundreds of gold coins into pieces before saying, "What do you know? As long as he can kill Hungry Wolf Duruf. Not to mention that he's a Sir from the Border, even if he's not from the Empire, it's worth recruiting. If it weren't for your father, I would have killed you today! "
He smashed the crumpled oil painting into Chuck's face and slammed the door.
For Chuck, the chaotic night came to an end in the light of dawn. At eight in the morning, a mysterious guest quietly visited. Chuck took him to his study and carefully closed the doors and windows, not wanting outsiders to see the scene of his meeting with him.
The guest smiled and said, "On behalf of Lord Raffles, I would like to thank you twelve times. Mr. Chuck, you did a good job on this. "
Chuck snorted, "It's not easy for me to do this. Look at my injuries. And because of this, Uncle Tuomen will definitely not put me in an important position in the future! "
"It doesn't matter. Sir Lafus will compensate you for it. Don't worry about that." He put a suitcase on the table and opened it. It was divided into three compartments. The largest compartment on the left was filled with gold coins, and there were at least a thousand of them. There were two boxes on the right, and the top one was piled with several pieces of amber yellow crystals. These amber yellow crystals were worth more than a thousand gold coins each, and together, they were worth more than the gold coins in the box on the left. There was only a necklace below. The necklace was made of platinum and had an elegant and gorgeous design. It was embedded with a piece of translucent jade.
The guest pushed the box forward and said, "These are all yours. Apart from that, Sir Lafus invites you to Dawn Castle, where there will be a more suitable position for you."
Chuck was overjoyed. Not only did he receive a lot of money, but he was also able to be reused by Sir Lafus. Naturally, it was better than staying on the bench in Sunset City. Chuck accepted the suitcase as quickly as he could and nodded, "Please reply to Sir Lafus. I will leave tomorrow."
"It's a long way to Dawn Castle. Please be careful on the way, Mr. Chuck. I wish you a pleasant journey." The guest smiled.
After bidding farewell to Chuck and turning out of an alley, the two men followed behind the guest. Without turning his head, the guest said in a deep voice, "That idiot will leave tomorrow. Remember to do it beautifully and not leave any traces."
The two men nodded and began to disperse, merging into the crowd on the street. The guest smiled and glanced at Chuck's house before turning into an alley and leaving. How could Lafus' reward be so easy to get? Moreover, in order to prevent Daniel from knowing that they were the ones who caused trouble in this matter, Allen refused to join. Therefore, Chuck had to disappear. Of course, he couldn't make a move in the city, but if something happened to Mr. Chuck on his way to Dawn Castle, it would be hard to say.
Chuck had been busy that day, secretly packing up all the property he could take away, preparing to leave the city secretly at night. Under the interweaving of nervousness and excitement, Chuck finally waited for the evening. He had already begun to fantasize about his beautiful life after arriving at Dawn Castle. At the same time, a village more than fifty kilometers away from Sunset City also welcomed an extraordinary night.
Deni Village is a village under Sir Tommen's management. The village is not far from the Sumara River, which serves as the border of the territory. The villagers mainly rely on fishing for a living, and some of them go hunting in the nearby mountains and forests. This village of less than three hundred people did not live a rich life. Fortunately, Sir Tommen's taxes were still within their acceptable range, so the village did not disappear.
It was getting late, and smoke rose from the village. There was a wooden fence on the outskirts of the village, mainly to prevent wild beasts from breaking in at night. There was a guard made up of hunters in the village, as well as an infantry squad stationed here in Sunset City to protect the villagers. There were less than thirty guards made up of villagers and soldiers, and most of the time, the night watch was done by soldiers. This was their minimum obligation.
Tonight was no exception. After dinner, a few soldiers on duty arrived at the sentry post on the outskirts of the village. The sentry post was a small wooden hut, no different from the hunters' huts in the mountains and forests. There was a simple fireplace and a few beds inside, and wood was piled outside so that the soldiers could light a fire to keep warm late at night. However, it was not winter, so there was no need for these things.
There were few foreign enemies in Deni Village. Even though the Sumara River was Earl Oban's territory, the village on the other side of the river did not pose any substantial threat to this place. The biggest threat was the wild beasts wandering in the wilderness, and most of them appeared late at night. Therefore, at this time, the soldiers were more relaxed, sitting on the wooden stakes outside the sentry post and chatting to kill time.
Suddenly, a flustered hunter ran out of the forest in front of him. He was even carrying a few wild rabbits on his back. However, due to his panic, the hunter fell three times in a short distance of less than a hundred meters, causing his prey to fall to the ground. One of the soldiers recognized him and called out with a smile, "Julian, why are you in such a hurry? Are you in a hurry to go home and sleep with your wife? "
The soldiers roared with laughter.
Hunter Julian ran to the sentry post, panting. He pointed to the other side of the Sumara River and shouted breathlessly, "… No, not good … someone, I …"
The soldier patted him on the back and said, "Take your time. Don't worry. What did you see? "
Julian suddenly raised his head and shouted with all his might, "The army, it's the army! The army that crossed the river from the Earl's side, they're coming this way! "
"What?"
While the soldiers were still shocked, the sound of a horse hissing came from the forest. They looked at it doubtfully. The moonlight was so bright that it made the grass in the woods look silvery white. In this almost holy moonlight, a warhorse suddenly rushed out of the forest and plunged into the grass under the moonlight. It was a Knight. Following that, a few other Knights rushed out of the forest. Behind these Knights, flames appeared. Following that, soldiers with torches in their hands rushed out of the forest, following behind the knights, forming a torrent of rolling waves!
"Ring the alarm!"
"Prepare for battle!"
The soldiers of Deni Village screamed. At this critical moment, they did not forget to ring the alarm. They were well-trained. However, when the first bell rang, a few fireballs suddenly shot over from the enemy's side and headed straight for the sentry post. The soldiers outside the wooden hut shouted and ran away. The next moment, the wooden hut exploded, and a scorching wave of air blew in all directions.
The soldier who had rung the alarm ran out of the wooden hut screaming. He had already turned into a fireball. After running only two steps, he fell to the ground and stopped breathing.
The warhorse was so fast that it only took a moment for it to rush to the vicinity of the sentry post. The soldiers watched everything in despair. Their strength was insignificant under the opponent's mighty momentum, and they couldn't even muster the heart to resist. The first Knight stopped in front of the soldiers, and the other Knight and soldiers passed by him like a tide. Under the moonlight, the Knight's silver reflected the moonlight and flowed with brilliance.
He looked at the soldiers with bright red eyes and said indifferently, "Surrender. You have no chance of winning."
A soldier shouted unwillingly and drew his sword and rushed towards the Knight. The others seemed to hear the Knight sigh, and then the black saber in the Knight's hand moved. As a result, there was an orange light under the moonlight that swept past the soldier. The soldier's body trembled and he stopped. Then, the light armor on his body cracked with a crack. His body tilted and his upper body slid to the grass, but his lower body was still standing on the spot.
After a while, blood sprayed out from the cut of the corpse, spraying the nearby soldiers and the hunter all over their faces.
At this time, the village was already in flames and the voices of people rushed into the sky.
Allen looked at the remaining soldiers and asked, "Make your choice. Resist or surrender? "
The soldiers looked at each other and smiled bitterly. They all took off their weapons and answered with action. Allen nodded and said, "Very good, follow me."
"Sir, if you want us to participate in the massacre of the village, then kill us!" The soldiers suddenly shouted.
Allen looked at them in surprise, but shook his head and said, "I'm not that cruel. As long as no one in the village resists, I won't kill lightly."
Only then did the soldiers relax. That was their bottom line.
