The next moment, William raised his hand, raised his crossbow, and pulled the trigger. otbnkotgt The guy's throat was broken and he couldn't make any sound.
He could only make a "hehe" sound like a broken bellows.
Then he stared at William and fell down weakly.
"Enemy" Shalumi's eyes widened in surprise.
She didn't feel any danger at all just now.
If William hadn't followed, then she might have been the one who fell here right now.
"William."
At that time, Shalumi was angry and scared, and felt a little weak in her legs.
Of course, what I wanted to say before could not be said right now.
But she was still vaguely unwilling.
At the same time, because of the reasons just now, William was still holding her waist and leaning so closely together, feeling the temperature and shape of William's body, which made her feel uncomfortable.
Shalumi felt her heart beating faster.
The only fly in the ointment is that both William and Charlotte are wearing a lot of clothes at the moment, and there are a lot of things in between, so Charlotte is a little bit like that.
"Okay, let's go back first."
William ignored Shalumi's disappointed expression, and without any hesitation or nostalgia, he released his arms around Shalumi, took out the crossbow arrow from the crossbow bag on his waist, and gave it to He cocked his hand crossbow.
Then say this to her.
"Yeah."
Although she was a little unhappy, Shalumi also knew that the current situation was not the time for her to lose her temper.
So he nodded obediently, and then did not hold William's hand again.
Instead, he took out his sword and walked towards their entourage who was nearby outside the forest.
After that, without any danger, they left the forest and reunited with their own people.
Shalumi breathed a sigh of relief.
But William still looked serious and nervous: "Don't relax.
The assassin may have an accomplice, and the other party may be waiting for us to relax."
"Yeah."
After hearing what William said, Shalumi also became more vigilant.
Then she severely reprimanded her followers.
The entire escort team was in a state of panic due to her.
But after that, her followers finally had some thoughts.
Equip yourself with a shield, a spear, and then mount your horse to become a standard light cavalry.
At this moment, they have left the mountains and forests, and most of the Earldom of Chersk is covered with plains.
The river has frozen and the wheat has been harvested.
As far as the eye can see, there is a vast white flat open land.
On such terrain, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry can be fully unleashed.
These dozen or so light cavalry can easily overwhelm a mob of two to three hundred people.
With such a force supporting them, there is no need to worry about one or two lone assassins.
As for the suddenness of the assassin's sneak attack, is this point?
"That guy came out of the snow."
William thought thoughtfully, and then looked to his side, warily looking left and right, as if he wanted to see through the thin layer of snow.
John.
After that, he recalled that William didn't look at the body carefully at that time, but he did have a similar figure to Little John.
It's just that compared to Little John, who is still a teenager, the assassin is much bigger.
"It's not a Goth, it's a Slavi."
William immediately judged the other party's race and identity.
"It's just that there are many kinds of Slavis.

Unfortunately, there is no way to transport the bodies back for careful identification at the moment."
William thought in his heart.
Before, they were worried that new assassins would attack, so naturally they didn't dare to take the bodies with them.
After meeting with the guards, I was also worried about this, so I didn't dare to separate the people.
After going back and forth like this, the body was thrown there.
"Let's worry about other things after we return to the castle."
William thought in his heart: "That body shouldn't disappear so quickly."
"William, do you know who wants to kill me?"
Next to William, Shalomi suddenly asked such a question.
"I have a clue, but" at this point, William shook his head: "But I can't confirm it yet."
"Really?"
So Shalumi didn't speak any more.
The two of them walked all the way back to the castle in silence.
William immediately made suggestions to Chalumi.
Send someone to bring the body back and identify it carefully.
At the same time, the peasants and soldiers in the territory were mobilized to enter a state of war readiness.
After that, it is time to increase the security level of the castle.
Of course, there was nothing Shalumi refused to agree to.
As the official documents stamped with Shalumi's seal were passed out one after another, the entire Earl of Chersk became a mess.
The arms warehouse in the castle was opened.
Shalumi's private soldiers began to arm themselves.
At the same time, the countess's messengers rode fast horses and moved separately, passing one farm and town after another.
Wherever they went, young adults who had nothing to do during the slack period, as well as craftsmen, blacksmiths, coolies and vendors in the towns were all mobilized.
Peasants and soldiers, as well as town guards, one by one, all began to arm themselves like dogs.
"In this case, we will be able to mobilize a sufficient force soon, Shalumi, there is nothing to worry about."
After William and Shalumi finished writing official documents and assigning tasks, he read Looking at Shalumi, seeing this guy sitting beside his desk in a daze, William thought she was a little scared, so he comforted her like this.
"William, do you know who wants to kill me?"
Shalumi shook her head, and then repeated what she said before.
"That assassin is a Slavi."
William then said what he had seen before and what he had analyzed: "So I think it is possible."
"No, that's not what I'm talking about."
To William's slight surprise, Charlotte interrupted him directly.
Only then did William notice that there was something wrong with Shalumi.
"They all want to kill me, William, do you know they all want me to die?"
Shalumi's voice was hysterical: "The nobles around me want to kill me and then annex my land.
Some of my distant relatives also want to kill me and divide my inheritance.
My subjects want me dead so that they can keep tabs on themselves and prevent me from looking into their messy accounts when I grow up.
Those bandits want to kill me, and the serfs in the territory don't care if they kill a lord.
Even the Grand Duke of Mazovia was the same.
He wished that when he got up one day, he would see all the nobles in the entire territory dead, so that he could swallow up all the land.
They all want to kill me, and they all can't be trusted. them, all, all, all” "Okay, Charlotte."
William interrupted Charlotte with a hug.
He walked over, hugged Shalumi, who was shaking and crying, and held her in his arms.
William suddenly understood why Chalumi yearned for his family so much and lived in Hereford longer than he had lived here.
Even though all the conditions in the Earl of Chersk were better than Hereford is stronger.

But the problem is, there is no sense of security here in Chersk.
"I will protect you."
Although he had no previous experience, at this moment, William still made the most correct choice: "As long as I am here, no one can hurt you."
After hearing William say such words, Shalumi's body stiffened for a moment, and then she completely fell into William's arms.
"Don't leave me, please, William, don't leave me."
Seeing that Shalumi, who was so positive and arrogant before, is now lying in her arms like an ordinary little girl, crying non-stop.
But William was not happy at all.
"After all, Shalumi is also a girl."
William thought of this and felt a sense of mission arise spontaneously.
This was not like the forced "I can't do it if I don't do it" to Princess Elise before.
Feel.
But he wants to take the initiative to do it.
Actively and from the bottom of my heart, I wanted to protect Shalumi.
In this way, William comforted her softly, while Charlotte kept crying.
The two of them passed like this for a while, and then William took Charlotte, who was tired of crying, to her room.
Then he stayed at the door of her room all night.
Because Shalumi didn't sleep well.
Occasionally, if there is any noise, or if he has a dream or something, he will wake up immediately, and then he will look for William everywhere.
At this time, William had to answer her call at the door.
Only in this way will Shalumi feel at ease.
Just like that, the next day arrived.
Shalumi walked out of the room with a red face, still wearing pajamas.
She saw William still holding the sword, leaning against the wall, eyes closed.
After hearing the sound of the door opening, William turned his head and looked over.
As you can imagine, he didn't sleep.
Shalumi felt very embarrassed at that time.
He opened his mouth, wanting to say thank you.
But I am still too thin-skinned to say anything.
Then she remembered last night, how she fell in William's arms like this, crying and fussing, and Shalomi shyly wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
"Don't tell others what happened yesterday."
Shalumi whispered like a mosquito.
Then he closed the door with a bang and retreated into his room.
"This girl" William shook his head, yawned, and then went back to his room160420oshow7:
