83 The Judgment of the Seven Sons (6)
When the attack was attacked, the sky was clear and bright, and the chaotic teams were passing through a narrow stone bridge on a river one after another.
As a result, before they could fully pass, a row of small black dots rushing towards them suddenly appeared on the hazy horizon of the mountains in the distance, obviously a group of cavalry.
They didn't know whether it was an enemy or a friend, but the old knight who led the team did not hesitate at all. They directly ordered the members of the rally to set up a response. He shouted loudly that the team that was not too fast to cross the river was speeding up.
In fact, if he didn't use his orders, the people who noticed the danger would have unconsciously stirred up. Many farmers and civilians who joined the road were in panic and began to push and shovate in order to cross the river quickly.
At the bridgehead, after estimating the speed of the cavalry coming and the speed of the people behind him crossing the river, the bearded man, one of the leaders of the rally, breathed a sigh of relief, and then squeezed a long axe in his hand.
"I didn't expect to get rid of these people."
He said, looking at the old knight who had gotten off his horse with a serious expression, and the other party replied with a wry smile: "The traces of our journey are too obvious."
After catching two shepherds that day, they knew that someone was going to have bad intentions toward them, so they directly changed the route they were expected to take. At the same time, they seemed to be rushing the road in a big way every day, but in fact they were very alert to the surrounding situation.
It is hard to say who the enemy is now, but I think it is the lords nearby who are loyal to the king, otherwise there would be no reason to attack them, the people in the church.
However, the old knight was not too worried about this.
Although the knights seemed aggressive, they could not withstand the geographical advantage of the stone bridge behind them. In this case, he expected that as long as he guarded the bridge, the enemy would not be able to do anything to them.
Unfortunately, this idea changed completely next time.
The small black dots that could be seen in the naked eye gradually increased, but before they could reach the scene, a sudden riot suddenly appeared in the crowd that had crossed the bridge, and even women screamed in panic.
The old knight turned his head and looked at it in a hurry. The situation that caught his eyes made him feel terrified.
I saw a group of masked riders wearing leather armor rushed out from a forest opposite the bridge, and now they were only a few hundred meters away from those who crossed the bridge!
"Don't panic, retreat to the bridge!"
Seeing someone screaming and running away from the large army, the old knight yelled, but it turned out to be useless.
Some ordinary people had already scattered in undisciplined ways, but they followed his orders, but it was hard to say a good thing, because their panic attack made it impossible for the members of the rally to successfully launch their defensive formations.
There were panic sounds around, and the sound of horse hooves gradually became clear and audible.
The number of enemies was large, and the old knight had already sunk into the bottom of the valley. For some reason, he suddenly thought of the big young man with blonde hair. So he patrolled his eyes, but happened to see the other party's back jumping into the surging river on the bridge deck.
He was so angry that he looked at this look, but he had no time to pay attention to the coward who was still unsure whether he was his own bloodline.
In a panic, the members of the rally at the end of the stone bridge struggled to get to the front, each holding their weapons tightly, and facing the enemy who was getting closer in front of them.
The situation was very chaotic at this time. More than a dozen abandoned sheep were bleating and swaying across the stone bridge. Some hurried away in the face of the rushing cavalry, while others remained foolishly, and then trampled to death or acted as a stinger, tripping two or three unlucky riders to the ground.
However, all this did not hinder the cavalry's charge, nor did it relax the members of the assembly at all.
Behind were the church believers and civilian travelers they vowed to protect, and in front of them were brave enemies. The wielding maces and spears made a brown-haired young man with a wooden handle and a short axe tremble all over, but the companions beside him roared one after another.
With the roar of collision, the scene was quite tragic as soon as it unfolded.
...
The situation there is in danger, but here there are four horses walking leisurely on the edge of the river bank in the upper reaches of the Heishui River.
"The king did not order us to suppress the church. I don't think this action is right." One of the blonde knights who took off his helmet and clamped it to his armpits said to his brown-haired companion beside him.
The companion with soft brown hair smiled at it, and the glazed green armor she wore reflected a glossy luster in the morning light.
"Don't forget Herren and Najenos Ailin. How do you think this situation will develop when our good king gives the order?"
The other party did not answer, so the brown-haired knight sneered.
"King Inis is weak and incompetent. We subjects naturally need to be tough, otherwise this kingdom will not last long."
"But it is likely to anger the church, they are—"
"They have already done the right thing with the royal family, are you still afraid of being angry?" The brown-haired knight interrupted his companion with a sneer.
"Besides, as long as we do it cleaner, who will know all this?"
As he said that, the brown-haired knight looked at the stone bridge slowly shrinking the battle line in the distance, and a strange color flashed in his eyes.
His purpose is to let the church know about this, so how can it be done cleanly...
But these are impossible to talk to your companions.
Thinking about the possible chaos in the future kingdom, he silently looked forward, but suddenly felt something from the corner of his eyes. He looked around and found that it was a group of trout wandering in the Black Water River.
"Why are there a group of fish here?"
He murmured strangely, looking at his companion, and found that the other party was also surprised by this.
It is actually normal to have a group of fish in the river water, but it is abnormal to have a group of fish gathered together and swam and fluttering. It is difficult to have a group of fish that stayed in the middle of the river and refused to follow the waves.
After a few careful glances, they did not see anything unusual except the fish, and even the water grass at the bottom of the river was hazy.
The brown-haired knight turned around and ordered the two servants following him to go into the water to investigate the situation.
The attendants had no objection to this, so they turned over and dismounted, took off their heavy clothes and rushed into the river.
However, it seemed that they were frightened. After they rushed into the river, the fish that had not moved much before suddenly rushed away and hid in another direction of the river.
Seeing this, the two attendants hurriedly chased forward, but the fish rushed to another place. After several times, one of the attendants was shaken and even slipped into the river. After a lot of rescue, they avoided the fate of being panicked and drowned.
However, he couldn't get into the water again.
The two knights who saw the clumsy situation of the servants were already impatient. One of them was filled with a stomach full of water and made them even more determined. So after looking at each other, they decided to end up in person.
