Medieval Empire Soldier - Chapter 145
“This is the head of a heretic believer, Mr. Baron.” The witch hunter Eureka put a bald head with a face full of grimness and blood in front of Laylen: “They are hiding in a hunter’s hut to the east, At night, sacrifice rituals for heretics were often held, and they attacked passersby with spells. There were five of them. Three were killed, one was caught, and one was run away. Now, dead in a certain forest.”
The witch hunter’s face looked tired. There were obviously a few dark spots on the outer black trench coat. There was still some gloom between her eyebrows, cold and mature.
“Ah, I see. It’s done very well. The patrols stationed in various villages these days have reported that there have been no disappearances. You have done a good job.” Lailun nodded and placed it on the hideous head on the table. Eye sockets full of fissures and hollows, obviously fit for a heretic deeply corrupted by dark forces.
The baron motioned Eureka to sit down, he noticed that the witch hunter was injured, and his left shoulder was wrapped in a bandage and was tightly bandaged: “Can you tell me a little about the passage? The paladins searched the hunter’s hut in the territory, and they There’s no reason not to be found.”
“Well.” The witch hunter Eureka sat down in the hall of the baron’s longhouse. Eureka sorted out the language a little and tried to briefly describe the witch hunt process: “Things are as I judged, their control over magic Far less than the official wizard, the strongest one, but only at the level of a wizard’s apprentice, the magic mastered is very limited, and a large number of human skin scroll fragments are left in the forest after use. I used a special incense, which can help to detect The direction in which the magic wind gathers.”
“It seems that their purpose is not to attack ordinary people, otherwise, you would not find them in the forest farm.” Lailen nodded.
Heretics oppose order and embrace chaos instead, so their logic of behavior is roughly limited.
Under the means of deliberate concealment, the missing farmers or passers-by are often unknown, because the imperial nobles will leave many isolated hunting lodges in the forest, prohibiting ordinary people from hunting there. According to legend, the secrets of these nobles and noble ladies in the palace are hidden in the hut. When the evil moon Morse Rib is enchanting, they will hold a ceremony to worship the power of destruction. Celebrate with the beasts by the heap.
Such an intimate relationship can easily develop into outright betrayal. There are countless similar incidents. The nobles who are close to the beasts open the high-walled city gates at night, causing the screaming tribe to occupy the town without knowing it. At this time, the city guards still believe that they are far away from the ominous lurking in the forest.
Sitting on his main seat, Lailun looked a little helpless.
The complexity of the empire is far beyond that of human countries. The vast black forest in the vast territory is filled with too many ghosts, ghosts and gods. The corruption is everywhere. Power, money, desire, it can be said that the system of the empire determines that it cannot get rid of the corruption. shackles.
Eureka’s icy expression has not changed. Her duty is to eradicate heresy, so witch hunters don’t like peaceful places. They need tasks and rewards to survive, just like cold-blooded mercenaries.
“The heretics are far easier to deal with than the vampires in the south. The latter are difficult to kill, and a large number of them lurk in the empire. Although many midnight dignitaries hide in the people, their blood thirst is doomed to the weakness of vampires.” Eureka Noticing that Lallen’s eyes were a little lost, she frowned and reminded: “Mr. Baron, are you listening?”
The baron’s clerk, Pittman, had no sympathy for the witch hunter who had offended many times.
The officer wearing the kite hat looked at Eureka with stern eyes many times, but the witch hunter turned a blind eye to the warning eyes on the side.
“Well, I’m listening. I’m thinking it’s time to start a forest clearing operation. You continue to say, since you used a special incense to find the location where the magic wind gathers, how did the heresy hide out?” Leron asked next.
Eureka crossed her legs, and the front of her high-heeled boots glowed with metallic luster. She propped half of her body on the table and said calmly, “Mr. Baron, where the heretics are hiding, the signs of corruption will be very obvious. The witch hunter’s silver seal will As the source of corruption approaches and emits temperature, they are not very smart guys, and those who are eroded by chaos often cannot keep their senses, so I found the hunting lodge.”
“After the four people were dealt with, the corpses of the disappeared peasants were thrown on the sacrificial altar in the hunting lodge. The surfaces of the corpses were covered with tooth marks, the marks of the devil’s bite.”
“After interrogating the prisoner, I got the information I wanted. After briefly understanding his sinful life, I called the forest patrol team to cremate the body, so as not to breed the source of corrosion. This is what happened this time.” Eureka Said calmly, she took out another small red-stained bag and motioned for Laren to open it.
“What’s this?” Lallen smelled a stench, like a rotting dead fish.
The witch hunter showed a grim smile, and she said softly, “Mr. Baron, open it and see if you’ll know?”
untied the tightly fastened string, and Lallen dumped the bag, spilling eleven severed, **** ears on the table.
“Oh! Sigmar is on top! What disgusting things are these!”
“Hahaha~~~ I cut off the ears of the remaining three guys who have been treated, in order to prove that they have completed the task you assigned.” Eureka raised her hand to hide her charming smile, “One of them mutated. Heresy, he has an extra head on his neck, and a pair of dark ears, very interesting guy.”
”.” Baron Draco’s expression was also very ugly, he narrowed his eyes and stared at Eureka in front of him.
The act of cutting off the ear of the enemy was first popular among the provincial legions, and it was usually recorded as military merit. Although it made people feel very uncomfortable, most of the witch hunters have experienced a lot of cruel and crazier things. It is easier to accept, or rather, understand.
Eureka has long been accustomed to bloodshed, and there is no shyness or fear on her face. People always think that witch hunters are cold-blooded, but they don’t know that to deal with evil, they must make themselves evil.
“Next time, when there is a similar situation, I just ask you not to bring their ears.” After a few seconds, Lallen added coldly. “It’s very troublesome to clean up.” “Is the invincible hero of the Empire also afraid of blood?” Eureka returned to her cold and mature demeanor, and then the witch hunter did not speak any more.
“Just remember my request, Miss Eureka, you fulfilled your promise, and now it’s my turn to fulfill my promise, Pitman, give her the reward.” Laren motioned to the affairs officer beside him send something.
The clerk held a prepared purse with fifty gold coins in it and handed it over.
Eureka’s slender jade fingers bumped the weight of the bag, and she raised her eyebrows subconsciously, looking a little surprised, she immediately lifted the windbreaker and pinned the bag to her belt: “I thought that Mr. Commitment.”
“Just fulfilling the promise.” Lallen said calmly.
Eureka stood up, her glamorous Danfeng eyes kept staring at Lailun, the tear mole around the corner of her eyes looked sinister and dangerous, after a few seconds, she chuckled thoughtfully: “It’s very exciting to work with you. joy.”
“Oh, by the way, Mr. Baron, if you need it, you can always send someone to the flea district in Middenheim to find a Silvermoon Tavern, which is one of the strongholds of the Witch Hunters Guild, where you can find me .” The witch hunter stopped for a while and said to the baron.
“Well, I see.”
After the witch hunter got the reward she deserved, she left the barony. This land is too peaceful, and there are more tasks waiting for her in other towns.
Lyren also set off for the Chapel of the Eternal Knights outside the town.
The long-term construction of Oak Town is in full swing, and the farmers of the Baron Draco have also begun the most important spring ploughing of the year. The winter wheat sown last winter will not mature until at least May and June. In the farmland of , many skilled people sweat on the fields.
Not every piece of land needs to be sown in the wide farmland. For thousands of years, under the preaching of Druid priests who advocate the Church of Nature, people have learned the habits of fallow and rotation to ensure that the fertile land does not decline.
Every year, the Life Academy of the Imperial Academy of Wizards will send a considerable number of mages and apprentices to go to every area of the empire’s territory. The mages will re-energize the leylines, and with the help of life force, let nature heal and purify itself, which also includes increasing the fertile power of the earth.
In a certain lower area such as Rickland, with the help of life mage, food crops can even be harvested three times a year.
The neighing sound of the rhythm and the vibrating hooves also sounded on the ground, and the eternal knights were training in the newly opened racecourse.
At this moment, Lallen heard the neighing of a Pegasus and the sound of a strong wind.
It was Francis. He rode an Imperial Pegasus back from the mine in the southeast of the territory, and Lailun greeted him.
“My Baron!” Francis turned over and jumped off the tall Pegasus, the plate armor of the Golden Shield Eternal Knight was covered with a black burqa, and the cloak with gold border and black background fluttered with the movement, “The knights of the Knights have all chosen A batch of high-quality war horses, and there is a mature Pegasus in the stable!”
The Pegasus that Francis rode, with reddish fur all over his body, a height of one meter five at the shoulders, a slender and sturdy body, a vertical white spot in front of the horse’s forehead like the long horns of a unicorn, and four thick hooves with protective shields. Ornament, the half-horse armor with the golden two-tailed comet coat of arms of the Knights of Eternity is draped over the front of the Pegasus.
“This is really something to be happy about, how about Adrian and the others?” Laren looked very happy.
Before Francis could answer, a voice came from the air above Lallen’s head: “Baron, I’m here too!”
Adrian, who was wearing a black cloak with a silver edge, also descended from the sky while riding a yellow and white imperial Pegasus, and more eternal knights, wearing yellow and silver cloaks, came from not far away. , they all wear a soft glowing badge on their chests.
The special horse boy of the horse farm has made Lallen’s territory a rare Pegasus mount in the old world. This war mount is undoubtedly a weapon in the air. In Lallen’s vision, with time, the Eternal Knights will not only have powerful cavalry, but also have Powerful air power to attack the enemy’s fragile light armored units or rear positions, has a good effect.
“My great tutor.” Hector Goetz, who was newly named a knight of the kingdom, used an honorific expression. He also rode a strong northern horse. The mount was undoubtedly a good horse regardless of its teeth and shoulders. kind.
Nikas-Francis looked at Hector who was late and couldn’t help laughing: “Hahahahaha, what a pity, Hector, you should also get a Pegasus!”
“I can get such a strong horse, I am very satisfied, Your Excellency Francis.” Hector shrugged and responded indifferently, “Baron, the horses of the knights have been replaced, and the speed of our riding has also been improved. It’s a great improvement, which is definitely a good thing!”
“Wow!” Philnos, the half-griffin, jumped out from the side. It rushed in front of Laylen like a hungry tiger. Two strong and sharp tiger claws patted Laylen on the shoulder. Lallen’s feet sank into the mud.
“Oh! Philnos, my old man, missed me, didn’t you?” Laren said with some difficulty. He smiled and lifted the two tiger claws. It is no exaggeration to say that the adult half-hearted stood up. Griffons are much taller than adults.
At least 80% of the knights present had never seen a live half-griffin. They looked at the behemoth’s intimacy with the great mentor of the knights, and their sharp beaks rubbed back and forth on Laren’s cheeks, revealing envious expressions.
“Very well, your next task is very simple, patrol every road, every river, and every forest in my territory, and ensure that the safety of residents and passers-by can be fully guaranteed along the way!” Lelan said briefly.
“Understood! My great teacher!” The eternal knights responded in unison.
The vigorous Pegasus fluttered its wings again, the sound of hoofs resounded on the road, and pedestrians all looked sideways.
To support such a knight order, the monthly ration consumption is a huge amount, but this consumption is extremely worthwhile.
As Baron Draco, his army includes:
Three teams of Draco halberdiers,
Two teams of Drake crossbowmen (dwarven hand crossbows),
a team of dwarf warriors (fire and oil detonators),
A team of knights of the Eternal Knights,
A team of Sigmar Templars,
A dwarf rune blacksmith, a dwarven engineer, a five-ringed heavenly mage, and a holy light battle priest.
The army lineup of the baronial is not unremarkable. There is also a wood elf woodland guard archer who assists the garrison in the territory, which is enough to deal with an army of more than 1,500 beastmen.
The army envisioned by Lallen still lacks a powerful armour-piercing long-range output unit, the musketeer, and the engineer he needs has arrived in the Draco Baron.
