Release that Witch - Chapter 32

[Chapter 32 The Knight]

When Brian woke up, the first thing he saw was the gray and white ceiling.

The sunlight coming in from the window was a bit harsh, he closed his eyes for a while, and then opened them again, the scene in front of him remained unchanged.

Not a dream, he thought, am I…alive?

He tried to move his body, but found that he could only shake his fingers, as if all the strength in his body had been drained.

Then he heard someone shout, “He’s awake, hurry up and notify His Highness.”

Your Highness?

Brian felt like a ball of paste was stuffed in his head, and his thinking was much slower than usual.

By the way, how did I faint?

It seems that the chest was pierced by a poisonous snake, and he was about to die soon. At the last moment, a ghostly woman suddenly appeared and defeated all the enemies in an incredible way…

Soon a maid reached out to help him up and sat on the head of the bed.

Another brought a basin to help him wash his face.

Obviously, Brian had never experienced such a comprehensive and personal service, and he was surrounded by young maids, which made him feel a little at a loss.

Fortunately, the embarrassment didn’t last long. When the fourth prince walked into the room, everyone bowed down.

Brian even felt a surge of fire in his heart. He had too many things to ask, but he didn’t know what to say first when he opened his mouth.

Instead, Roland nodded and said, “I already know about your deeds, Brian, you are a well-deserved hero.”

As soon as the word “hero” came out, Brian felt his eyes sore and his voice choked up, “No…Your Highness, my friend is the real one…”

Roland patted him on the shoulder as a sign of comfort.

Just as Nightingale predicted, after Scar was dragged to the execution room, before the warden could do anything, he poured beans into a bamboo tube and confessed everything he knew.

The behind-the-scenes mastermind of this team is not his brother and sister, but the elk family in Longsong Fortress.

Earl Elk got in touch with Hills Mead, a distant relative, that is, Empress Scar, and controlled most of the patrol members through inducements and divisions.

In addition, he also sent a good player to replace the team as an insurance, in case of accidents during the operation.

The purpose of this group of people was not to assassinate him, but to burn the pure grain so that he could go back to the fort obediently.

The plot resulted in the death of an innocent man – the Greyhound.

He tried to thwart the criminal attempt of Scar and his party, but was stabbed to death by a patrol member with a dagger.

The whereabouts of the team member replaced by the poisonous snake are unknown. It seems that the castle was not on fire in the morning, and the Scar didn’t come back on time. After realizing that the plan had been revealed, he fled directly.

After Brian’s emotions stabilized, Roland said, “Your friend Greyhound, he will get a funeral that suits his status. His family will also be properly arranged, and he won’t have to worry about food in the future.”

“Thank you, Your Highness,” Brian took a deep breath, “Excuse me, Fierce Scar… is he dead too?”

“It’s still alive.”

The patrol captain closed his eyes in pain. He would rather not be rescued, but also drag the other party to hell with him.

But in this way, this hope has become slim… There is no doubt that the scar is guilty, but the crimes committed by the nobles can be redeemed with money. As long as his uncle is willing to protect him, there is a high possibility that the scar will not die .

Not even going to jail.

Roland could naturally guess what he was thinking, “Hills Med, that is, the scar in your mouth, he is a member of the Elk family in Longsong Fortress. The person in charge of the family is called Rockkin Med, and he is the Duke of Lane. The Earl, and also his distant uncle…” He paused for a while at this point, “But none of this will affect the final verdict. Scar has already been sentenced to hang and will be executed in three days. If you can recover , might as well go and have a look.”

Brian’s eyes widened sharply, “But… But Your Highness, nobles can use golden dragons to atone for their sins, you won’t be offended by doing so—”

Roland waved his hand, signaling him to be calm, “noble? Perhaps to you, he came from an elk family, and his status is very different from yours. But in fact, he has neither a title nor a fief. Second, even if he is a nobleman, if he invades the palace of the prince, tries to burn the stored food, and disregards the lives of more than 2,000 people in Border Town, the sum of these three crimes is an unforgivable crime.”

If it was said that Roland was still a little hesitant about Tyr’s death, the Scar was completely unforgivable.

If he succeeds, his foundation in Border Town will be destroyed, and he will never have a chance to stand up again. This is much worse than directly assassinating himself.

As for whether this reaction will anger Longsong Fortress, who cares?

Since the other party is unwilling to do business with him, and chooses to entrap Border Town, of course he can’t back down.

At the same time, this incident gave Roland a warning—the political struggles in this world are not like the ones he was familiar with in the past, most of which were concentrated under the table. Instead, they were more inclined to flip the table, which was much more primitive and bloody.

“Take a good rest. You have lost too much blood, so don’t leave the castle. I have already arranged for other people to carry out the work of the patrol team. When the month of demons is over, I will hold a canonization ceremony for you.”

“Your Highness, UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com” Hearing the last sentence, Brian looked at the prince in disbelief, “You mean…”

“Yes, you will be my knight, Mr. Brian,” Roland replied with a smile.

“Prepare—stab!”

Fan Na gritted his teeth and stabbed out the long wooden pole in his hand, using the same strength and angle as last time.

This time he fired the hundredth shot.

There was a tingling feeling in his arm, and Faner felt that he couldn’t hold on anymore. Although he thought so at the fiftieth shot, the conditioned reflex after a week of training made him obey the order.

To be honest, even he himself is surprised that he can last until now.

“All – rest!”

After Iron Ax shouted the command, there was a sound of exhalation from the surroundings, and Faner also heaved a sigh of relief, put down the gun barrel, and sat down on the ground.

Now, he finally understood that the militia team he was in was not a small-bodied unit responsible for running errands for guards or knights. After a week of weird training, their practice items gradually became decent.

For example, standing on the city wall to thrust out and retract long spears according to the hunter’s command – even though these long spears were replaced by wooden poles, Faner could quickly think of the role he assumed.

The logistics team will never do this kind of practice, which also means that they will face the evil beasts on the city wall.

Just thinking about this kind of thing is scary enough. Vanner originally planned to sneak away, but for some reason, seeing his teammates training with him, thinking of the rich three meals a day and the considerable salary, he delayed leaving. Not sure about this decision.
