Alien Knights

In the warehouse underneath the church.

Aldenan sniffed the simple carriage shelf in front of him and said with a depressed look: "This is the carriage for pulling corpses."

Carroll hid the weapon under the carriage: "What? Do you still expect the enemy to open the city gate and welcome you?"

Aldenan waved his hand: "I hope I don't have to hide in there for too long."

Bulwer scratched his head while looking at the narrow space of the car.

"You can only lie on your side." Kellogg tapped the car panel with his fingers to test its sturdiness, and then said, "Also, you have to pray that this thing won't fall apart."

At the other end of the warehouse, Randall was describing the thrilling war in the forest to Karin.

When Randall talked about the two shadow beasts, Karin's expression became a little unnatural, but she soon returned to normal.

Karin said to Randall: "Since the expeditionary force has defeated the church coalition, there is not much time left for us to act."

"Before noon tomorrow, the church will be informed of the defeat and the entire city will be under military blockade."

Randall asked: "I heard that the Alien Association has prepared a safe house in the city?"

"There is indeed such a place, but Taylor City is very dangerous now. Many members of the association were arrested and killed by the church. I cannot guarantee that there is any absolutely safe place in Taylor City."

Seeing the worry on Randall's face, Karin said softly: "But you don't have to worry too much. Once the expeditionary force comes to the city, the church army will put most of its forces and attention on defending the city. The situation inside the city On the contrary, it will be more stable.”

Randall breathed a sigh of relief: "There's one more thing. What's going on with the scholars at Tyro Royal Academy, the target of this operation?"

Karin lowered her eyelids: "Deputy Dean Miriam Orso was executed by burning earlier this month. He was tied to a wooden stick and hung horizontally, and was roasted alive on a small fire for three hours. , and finally died wailing. Unable to bear the endless punishment and humiliation, McFadden Olsted cut his own throat with a sharpened wooden spoon in prison last week..."

Randall opened his eyes wide: "You mean, they have all...?!"

"Among the more famous scholars at the Royal University, only Gianluca and Yevni are still alive, but my people haven't seen them for several days, and I'm worried that they won't last long."

Randall leaned against the wall weakly and held his forehead with his hands.

Karin said helplessly: "The main target you need to rescue this time is dead, but the main responsibility for the failure of the mission does not lie with you. I can explain to His Majesty, in this case..."

"Where are the manuscripts of those scholars?"

"What did you say?"

Randall stood up straight: "Manuscripts, books, notes, and the results of their research should be preserved, right?"

Karin spread her hands: "Honestly, I don't know. However, if you can find the imprisoned scholars, you may be able to learn the whereabouts of things from their mouths, of course, provided these people are still alive."

Randall gritted his teeth and said, "I want to go to the city, as soon as possible!"

"you sure?"

"yes, I'm sure."

Karin nodded and clapped her hands toward the stairs.

Father Pedro came out of the darkness, came to Karin respectfully, and made the sign of the cross.

"Father Pedro is Cardinal Yarborough's confidant. He is responsible for transporting corpses in the city. He can transport you into the city in a corpse truck."

Karin nodded to the priest: "Send these people into the city immediately, and I will go with you."

Pedro looked at the tall and strong orcs, then at the heavy tauren, frowned and said: "These... don't seem to be human beings, they...?"

Karin said impatiently: "You don't need to worry about who they are, you just need to send them into the city, and I will arrange the rest."

Pedro glanced at Karin fearfully, nodded and retreated.

Karin turned her head to look at the carriage, and suddenly remembered something: "There is something. Some of the corpses brought out of the city have lost their organs, and some have had their skulls opened. Although I don't know what happened in the city, I suggest you take action. You must be careful when doing so.”

Randall looked thoughtful and nodded slowly.

Late that night, a dozen dilapidated carriages were driving on the winding mountain road, slowly heading towards Taylor City.

Randall lay down under the wooden board of a carriage, holding Barbara with one hand, and slowly opened the gap in the wooden board with the other hand, and looked out carefully.

"It smells like a maggot pit. I feel like I'm suffocating."

The light blue tattoo on Barbara's body shone slightly, and her pointed ears drooped feebly.

Randall covered Barbara's body with a blanket and said helplessly: "You can stay in the church. There is no need to come with you."

Barbara said angrily: "Just like the time in Lone Rock City?"

"Okay, I admit I said something stupid."

Randall smiled bitterly and turned his attention outside the car.

Barbara held the other person's body and asked gently: "Do you still remember our first meeting?"

"Huh? You mean on the stage of Muxi Grand Theater?"

"No, not before that."

"I do not remember."

Barbara pinched the soft flesh of Randall's waist with her fingers and said viciously: "The small town of Samantha, south of Lone Rock City, thirteen years ago!"

Randall looked at Barbara in surprise: "Thirteen years ago?! I remember that time..."

"At that time, you were an archer recruiting peasant soldiers in Lone Rock City. During a rescue mission, you chased down the slave-catching team of the Southern Empire..."

Listening to Barbara's words, Randall's thoughts slowly returned to the past.

"In order to capture the 'white slaves', the slave-catching team of the Southern Empire attacked the small town of Samanta at night. At the moment they broke through the town, fortunately, the Lone Rock City army, which had received news of the request for help, also arrived in time."

"During the melee, a small group of slave traders secretly captured a group of children from a local kindergarten and planned to flee south."

"The battle was over. When the people in the town discovered that the children were missing, the slave traders had been running away for nearly an hour. Almost everyone thought that they could not catch up with them..."

Barbara slowly moved her body closer to Randall, rested her head on the other person's chest, and slowly closed her eyes: "A young peasant soldier with an Orion background stepped forward and led his comrades in the army. Following the clues left by the enemy, we traveled all night, and finally caught up with those damn bastards early the next morning."

Barbara said softly: "I will never forget the figure who was covered in blood with a knife and strangled three enemies with a bowstring."

Randall let out a long breath: "So you were there at that time."

Barbara opened her eyes: "Later, I heard that you were seriously injured. Half a month later, I went to Lone Rock City to find you, but I found that you and your family had left that city."

Randall's expression became desolate: "During that battle, because of my 'regeneration' ability, my identity as a foreign species was discovered. Then, my mother and I were expelled from Lone Rock City. In desperation, we plan to cross the mountains and go to Silver Ring City to find a livelihood, and then..."

"Stop! Check!"

A loud roar came from outside the carriage, causing Randall to close his mouth and make a silencing gesture towards Barbara.

This book will be finished, don’t worry, and by the way, my new job has passed its probationary period.
