How could the believers of the church save a witch?
Yorko unconsciously put down the bacon and focused all his attention on Annie.
"They broke out of the cage with Hero. Later, under the cover of these captives, she escaped the search of the church. After the war, the surviving Judgement Warriors even sent her food and clothes for a period of time. They didn't bid farewell to Hero until the army returned to Hermes. Before leaving, all the Judgement Warriors who had stayed in that cage came to express their gratitude to her. "
Yorko frowned. "But the title of Hero, will it be..."
"She is Hero," Annie said firmly. "No matter how the people who were cured by her think of her, she saved tens of thousands of people in Wolfheart City, as well as my and Amy's lives. She is fully deserving of this title. "
The ambassador couldn't help but sigh. It turned out that the pain that this group of witches had suffered was much more cruel than he had imagined. If he were to be treated like this, not to mention trusting ordinary people, even if he saw everyone as an enemy, it would be normal for him to want to kill them all.
The unhappiness of being suspected by Annie gradually dissipated.
"Her leg... may have a chance to recover."
"What? Are you telling the truth?"
"What should we do?"
Everyone turned to look at Yorko, including Hero. She looked like she was only 18 or 19 years old. Even though she had been ravaged by the war, her eyes were still full of expectation instead of numbness and blankness.
"Ahem, I'm not sure." Yorko rubbed his nose. "Hill once mentioned that there might be more than 300 witches gathered in Graycastle, and the power of the devil... No, I mean, abilities are always strange, right? Maybe someone can regrow a severed limb or simply make a new one for her. "
"300?" No. 76 was surprised. "How did the King of Graycastle recruit so many witches?"
"It's a long story. My old friend is a born king. He has long seen through the tricks of the church. Not only did he stipulate that witches could live like ordinary people in his territory, but he also spread the idea that witches were innocent to all parts of Graycastle. After a long time, there will naturally be many witches who will join his command and work for him. " Yorko took the opportunity to flatter His Majesty. "So you don't have to worry about your future at all. His Majesty's City of Neverwinter claims that everyone can find a suitable job, including witches."
"What kind of job?" Amy's eyes were shining.
"How would I know... I've never been to Neverwinter." Well, of course it depends on what kind of ability you have. For example, if you can control fire, you can be a blacksmith, or a whirlwind, or a mill, or a windmill, or something like that. " Yorko fabricated. "Anyway, His Majesty plans to build a new king's city in the Western Region, and needs a lot of manpower. Even if your ability can't be used, you can still work like ordinary people.
"It does sound good." Annie gave Ai Mi a look, "But lies are always better than reality. Right now, I …"
"I know, I know. You can't trust me completely, can you?" Yorko spread out his hands and said, "When the time comes, just trust your own eyes."
"When Wolfheart City was conquered, I happened to be staying at Amy's house. I noticed the strange behavior of the Judgement Army, so I followed them and found Hero."
Annie fiddled with the bonfire and said, "It was several months later that I met Duan Ren. She was caught by the church believers stationed there and was going to be escorted to the Holy City. I happened to stay at Amy's house when Wolfheart City was conquered. I noticed the strange behavior of the Judgement Army, so I followed them and found Hero, "Annie said while fiddling with the bonfire. "It was several months later that I met Duan Ren. She was caught by the church believers stationed there and was going to be escorted to the Holy City.
"Were you alone?"
"If I had enough time to prepare, killing a group of people is not much more difficult than killing animals." Annie said calmly. "But after that ambush, the church's search for Wolfheart City increased several times. We couldn't hide anymore, so we mingled with the refugees and left Wolfheart City. Finally, we went all the way south and lived in an orphanage in the City of Glow."
"What an incredible escape," No. 76 exclaimed.
"And it's not over yet," Yorko thought. "Although the Kingdom of Dawn is not as terrible as the church, it is still more than enough to crush us." He hoped that Hill's worries were not true. Otherwise, Appen Moya would never let them go. As long as they were still in the territory of the Kingdom of Dawn, they could not be considered safe.
He shook his head and put these annoying thoughts behind him. "Go to bed early after dinner. We have to continue our journey tomorrow morning."
...
The rest of the escape was unexpectedly smooth. Under the magician's plan, they went to the suburbs and did not enter the city. Five days later, they arrived at Windward Ridge in the Kingdom of Dawn. After another day's journey south, they would enter the Northern Region of Graycastle.
Yorko also relaxed a little.
After all, it was not a good feeling to be tense all the way. Every night, he would wake up with a start at the slightest noise. No. 76 was much calmer than him. She not only took care of the witches but also took care of himself.
After a few days, she had become quite familiar with the witches, especially Amy, who was gullible. She almost regarded No. 76 as her fourth sister.
Yorko leaned against the cushion and looked out of the window at the rolling hills and withered fields. He could not help humming a tune in his heart.
His ambassador position was ruined, but at least he brought back four witches for his old friend. If what Hill said was right, what kind of reward would His Majesty give him?
Just as he was full of expectation and daydreaming, the magician who was in charge of guarding suddenly caught up from the back of the convoy. "Sir, we may be in trouble. Someone seems to be following us."
"What?"
Yorko was shocked and quickly stuck his head out of the window, but he did not find anything unusual.
"Those people are Knight. They are about seven or eight miles away from us. You can't see them." The magician controlled the horse under him to keep its body parallel to the carriage. "They're not moving fast, but we're slower. At this rate, they'll find us sooner or later and catch up with us."
"Are you sure they're enemies?"
"I'm not sure. I just saw them from a distance. But we can't bet on this chance. There are about 20 to 30 of them. They're fully armored and don't have any horses. They must have found us by following the ruts. "
"Then what should we do?" Yorko panicked.
"We have to abandon the carriage and walk. There's a dense forest nearby. Horses can't pass through there, so the Knight can't show his full speed." The magician said in a low voice, "But this will only slow us down to the same level as them. Once they catch up with us, we'll all die. To be foolproof, it's best to lead the convoy forward and attract them to the main road. "
