Chapter 15 In the Haze (Part 3)
Field showed an expression as harmonious as the spring breeze and said: "Then you should be escorting us, right? Just like the spirit of chivalry says, praise the Valkyrie.
Connor was ecstatic, thinking that Field didn't know his purpose, so he immediately borrowed the opportunity to go down the slope and said, "Ah, yes, yes, yes."
"That's great. Come get off your horse and have a glass of wheat wine. We're about to set off. It's time for you to show your chivalry spirit along the way." Field raised his hand to signal Asuna to back off, and then treated the cavalrymen to a drink as if nothing had happened.
The cavalrymen dilly-dallyed, feeling guilty but also taking chances.
At this time, the Chosen Ones would most likely be wiped out, and escape would be impossible. Asuna snatched away the fog light while knocking down Connor. If you don’t have fog lights and crash into the death haze, you will die.
"It seems the Baron didn't notice our plan."
"Yes, Field has always been stupid."
Seeing Field's sincere expression, everyone thought of his previous kindness and weakness, and began to have illusions in their hearts.
After being persuaded by Field to dismount, they nervously drank a few sips of wheat wine before letting go of their suspense.
"Sir, I think we should go back and recover." Connor made an excuse to run away.
Field almost couldn't hold his breath, these idiots really deceived themselves as fools.
"I have requisitioned your war horses to expand the supply of goods. I will return them to you at night." Field refused perfunctorily, then pointed to the front of the team, "You just said that you wanted to help us open the way, let's go, go open circuit."
Connor suddenly felt something bad and immediately became anxious: "I regret it, I'm sorry, but I have to go back and recover quickly. I think the earl is already waiting in a hurry."
"Haha, I think you guys don't understand at all~" Field sneered and gestured to Asuna.
"Pfft!"
Ashina's giant wolf bit a cavalryman's head in one bite. Click~click~ The sour chewing sound almost drowned out everyone's breathing. The soldier who lost his head was bleeding like a fountain and fell to the ground. The sudden attack, Make his body twitch like crazy. .
Everyone, even the citizens of Field, subconsciously held their breath in fear.
This scene is too brutal.
"I was wrong! Baron Field!" Connor gave in decisively and threw himself to the ground. "It was your second sister, Liz, who ordered me to do it."
"Do you want me to say it a second time? Captain Connor." Field replied with a smile, "Explore the way ahead, or die now."
cold! Connor felt cold to the core.
All the gentleness in the bones is bullshit! I used to hear other nobles chatting and saying that Field was as weak as a little sheep.
Nonsence! They are all liars! Connor cursed the liars hard.
Under the threat of the guards' halberds, eighteen cavalrymen without horses soon formed a small square formation and walked at the front of the team.
Field's small map showed that there were a large number of rotting corpses approaching rapidly ahead.
Taking a long breath, Field gritted his teeth: "Let's go!"
The Night Territory is located in the southeast of the Northern Province.
With the help of the small map, Field bypassed most of the monsters and spent another three days before arriving at the large manor. It seems that the rotting corpses in the Night Territory cannot be killed cleanly. This can be seen from Connor's trembling hands. The blade of the blade collapsed and his expression was numb, like a puppet on strings.
The continuous fighting has caused him to collapse.
He was the only cavalryman who opened the way. It must be said that he still has two brushes to be a captain. However, he was torn open several times by the carrion corpses. The flesh sprouts squirmed. He was also partially corrupted. He was not far from death. .
"Give him a good time."
As Field's words fell, Asheina loosened her bowstring and shot Connor dead with an arrow. Then, slaves skillfully came forward to search for supplies on him.
"We arrived at the Starry Night Manor! It's not easy." When Field saw the entrance of the manor, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone also cheered in unison.
Thanks to Asuna and the minimap.
If there were no enemy positions marked on the mini-map, Field dared to say that it would be impossible to take a detour. The endless tide of corpses on the road can drown them.
"Obviously no living person has set foot here for a long time." Asuna stepped forward and pulled away the dense thorns on the gate of the manor. A harsh creaking sound was heard, and the rusty gate collapsed. Asuna jumped away like a cat, She narrowed her eyes and said awkwardly, "Well, it seems the door needs to be repaired."
The tall and elegant European-style iron gates, exquisite stone masonry and statues, as well as the large garden of ornamental plants, although now corrupted by the gray fog into a terrifying and gloomy place, can still give a glimpse of the grace and splendor of the past.
Two slave guards moved the fallen iron door, and Field saw the remains of humans, rotting corpses and other unknown monsters among the decayed plants.
Starry Night Manor covers an area of 30 hectares, about the size of 40 football fields.
It includes swimming pools, gardens, farmhouses, woodland, barns, wine cellars, stables, villas, etc., as well as the main building in the central area.
It is simply "grand" and inhumane. After all, Baron Sophia is a powerful figure who owns a prosperous city, which cannot be compared with an honorary title. After many years of accumulation by the family, the fixed assets can definitely be acquired.
This is just a baron's fiefdom. It is said that Her Majesty the Queen of the Griffin Empire owns a huge manor covering an area of 500 hectares. In Mary Sue novels, the heroine wakes up from a bed as big as a football field. This kind of thing can really happen to the queen.
The place is big, and there are a lot of monsters in it.
"It has been corrupted for ten years. Places like barns and stables have no value." Field took out the map of the manor and compared it with his own small map. "Similarly, ornamental places like gardens have no value."
"Then should we clean up the main building directly? Or occupy a villa."
In addition to the main building, the large manor also has three small villas for the lord's relatives or guests to live in.
Ashina seemed very excited. It was her first time to come into contact with such a high-end thing as a villa.
The slaves were even more exaggerated. They whispered to each other, and the excitement on their faces was beyond words.
For the lower class, working in the villa of the nobles, even sweeping the floor, is enough for them to brag about for a lifetime and become a glorious deed to tell their sons before they die.
Field stared at the main building in the distance for a while, and there were many ghosts in the broken windows. Suddenly, he felt something watching him, as if his chest was suddenly pressed down by a heavy object, and even his breathing became a little faster.
"There may be a big horror in the main building, so it's better not to provoke it." Field quickly looked away, rubbing his brows, and glanced at the small map. There were a lot of skulls marked on it, but the most eye-catching one was a huge red dot located in the basement of the main building. "The skull represents a corrupted monster, and what does the red dot represent? It's probably a monster too."
