Sitting with her back to the trunk of the tree, Nightshade pressed her hands her abdomen, trying to stop the blood that kept flowing out.But she knew very well in her heart that this wound was too deep for the bleeding to stop.The Assassins present were indifferent to the wound in Nightshade's abdomen, they would only kill, not save, and their seriously injured companions would generally be ruthlessly abandoned.I knew that the assassination would fail in the end, so I wouldn't have eaten the female knight's attack, Nightghost thought to herself.With such a serious injury, she knew that she would definitely not be able to return to the royal capital, and this life was estimated to be left here.Next, Nightshade raised her head to look at her men who had fled with her, one, two, three......
It's gone, and there are only three people left."
I didn't expect it......
Just the three of you......" she said weakly, gasping for air.The three assassins looked at each other, it was the first time they had ended up like this, and they didn't know what to say.Most of their companions were killed by the Templar, while others were shot at the start of the operation and during their failed retreat, resulting in heavy losses.Trembling and raising her right hand, Nightshade pointed to a stone pile not far away, which was clearly deliberately placed by man, and there was something hidden inside."
Put that heap of stones......
Get it out......"
One of the Assassins nodded, walked over and removed the stones from the pile, revealing something wrapped in a long cloth.Removing the contents of the stone pile, and holding it heavily in his hand, the Assassin did not immediately remove the cloth outside, but came to the Night Ghost."
Take it apart......"
Nightglow lowered her right hand and continued to press her abdomen.The Assassin neatly unwrapped the cloth outside, revealing a musket and two small bags.One of the pouches contained three metal-shelled bullets, and the other pouch was full of black powder and smelled pungent.This is a ranged weapon used by the guards of the Frontier Town!
The three Assassins glanced at each other.Apparently, it was Nightshade herself who stole it from the heavily guarded warehouses and hid it here."
Must ......
Bring back the royal capital......
Tell Your Majesty......
Pay attention to the border towns......
It is able to ......
Defeat the Eastrising Fortress......
It's with this weapon......"
The Assassins knelt down on one knee and replied, "Yes!
”"Let's go......
Re-wrapping the musket and two bags, the three Assassins obeyed the order to leave the Night Charm behind and immediately set out on their way back to the royal capital.A gust of wind blew slowly, and the branches swayed with it, making a rustling sound.Nightglow sat alone under the tree, looking up at the dense foliage above, and the blood flowing from the ground was increasing, and her body felt colder and colder.Your Majesty White Wells, you will always be the king of my heart.Her consciousness was fading.Not far away, several bloodthirsty wolves sniffed the strong smell of blood and emerged from the bushes.…… Frontier Town, in the courtyard of the castle.Since Angelica had killed a lot of people in previous battles, there were many traces of blood clotting left on the sword's body.At this moment, she was sitting at the stone table, carefully wiping her long sword.At this moment, Marpel came to Angelica's face with a hesitant expression.Wiping the last traces of blood with a cloth, Angelica raised her sword to check for any remaining blood clots stuck to the blade."
What's the matter with me?
Marper Jarvis. ”She asked, still with her eyes still fixed on the sword."
The ......," Marpel finally made up her mind and asked, "Angelica Thea, how can I become as strong as you?"
”After this battle, she clearly realized that her strength was insufficient, and she was powerless to resist the attack of the enemy leader, and she was very passive in the battle process.On the other hand, Angelica, the enemy leader did not dare to confront her head-on, and even if she did not enter the state of faith, she could easily cope with the siege of more than a dozen assassins and kill many of them.The strength can be seen."
Want to get stronger?"
After the inspection, Angelica tucked the sword into its scabbard."
That's easy, join the Lumichaelan Order and become a Templar.Your strength is also good, and you should have a chance to become a Pegasus Knight like me. ”"No, I can't join the church."
Marpel shook her head repeatedly, "I must stay in Frontier Town and keep Lord Owen safe. ”"Lord Owen?"
Angelica placed her sheathed sword on the table and turned her head to look at Marpel meaningfully."
I don't have the slightest interest in men, I don't know what the charm of Marquis Owen Eisen is, why do you and Teresa like him?""
What are you talking about?"
Marpel's face turned red, and he hurriedly explained: "It has nothing to do with this, I am the chief knight of Lord Owen, and I must not break my original oath." ”"Hmm......
Angelica's mouth curled upward, "at least, you didn't deny it." ”"If you don't want to help, forget it."
With that, Mapel turned around and took a step to leave."
Wait a minute."
Angelica called out to stop her, "I didn't say I wouldn't help, don't be in a hurry." ”Hearing this, Mapel suddenly stopped and turned around."
Really?""
Really."
Standing up from the stone bench, Angelica reached for the sword on the table and put it on her waist."
Since you want to be as strong as me, I'll train you according to Templar standards, but this training is very strict and very hard, I don't know if you can withstand it.""
As long as I can become stronger and better protect Lord Owen, no matter how strict and hard the training is, I can accept it!"
Marpel gave Angelica a standard knightly salute and said gratefully, "Please, Angelica Thea." ”"Just call me Angelica."
Angelica said, "I'll call you Mapel too." ”…… Early the next morning, Owen received a report from the soldier in charge of the weekly inventory of weapons and ammunition that one musket was missing from the arsenal and three fewer bullets.Obviously, people have been sent to strictly guard it around the clock, and there will be thefts.To ask who had the means to steal something from the arsenal without knowing it, Owen couldn't help but think of the enemy leader who had attacked him yesterday afternoon.It must be her, the dark magician.With such a handy magic as stealth, wouldn't it be easy to sneak into the arsenal without being discovered by the guards?
Fortunately, what was lost was a eliminated front-loading smoothbore gun.The KPA musket units have been replaced with new muskets, and all the old muskets that have been obsolete are stored in the arsenal.Thinking of this, Owen didn't want to punish the guards, after all, dark magic is really unguardable.But Viscount Jarvis stood up and resolutely objected.This lord is backed by a tech tycoon
