Chapter 76 (1/2)
After the arrival of the church guard holding the Holy Cross flag, although the flames still remained, the commotion that spread almost all night finally came to an end.
Loose and disorderly thugs, of course, could not be opponents of fully armed cavalry; As for those wandering wizards, if they were just fighting in the streets or in the wilderness, they might be able to hold on. But in front of a uniform army, there is only one end of being hanged one by one.
The only thing that can cause difficulties is the mercenaries invited by Karan at a high price, but these red eyed guys immediately recovered their reason in front of the Holy Cross flag of the church and surrendered one by one.
These people were very arrogant in the face of unarmed civilians, but when the church people put long guns around their necks, they immediately behaved like a group of pugs.
For these ”current affairs” guys, the church still showed no ”kindness” - after they threw away their weapons, the cavalry immediately surrounded them and killed them with cross bows and spears!
The surrendered thugs and captured wandering wizards were escorted to the only intact central square in the whole town. Francis did not even prepare a confession ceremony for these people before their death, and beheaded them all in front of the gate of the village church.
One by one, or struggling, or crying, or resisting, the unyielding head is soaked in the blood water all over the ground. No one came forward to accuse the brutality of fascism, but all acquiesced to the fierce means of the adult.
After all, after seeing such a tragedy, anyone will feel that this group of people are really worthy of death.
Wearing a priest's robe, Francis stood in a pool of blood and prayed piously. Only the knight next to him saw the expression of fear and fear in the light of the fire.
The fascists, who recovered from their excitement, knew how dangerous it was tonight - as long as they were a little slower, the whole town of vimpar would be reduced to ashes!
At that time, no matter how great his achievements, the image created in the past will collapse. Even if he eradicates vimpal college, he will only leave a reputation of ”cruelty and ruthlessness”. This is definitely a great blow to the church that has always expressed people with kindness and justice!
Fortunately, at least now it can be interpreted as ”message delay”, which makes me make a wrong judgment. The feat of exterminating the bandits can also save some face, so as not to make the situation uncontrollable.
The reason why it was so late was entirely due to the selfishness of Francis himself - if he came too early, I'm afraid Karan's actions would be meaningless before he attacked the castle.
The fascists, who hesitated to leave until the evening, seriously overestimated the marching speed of the guard, which led to the immediate results. Especially after waking up, he realized what a huge gamble he had made.
And the person I trust most disappoints me again... Looking at the wounded Knights around me, the fascists who can't scold face-to-face can only choose to be patient for the time being, and wait until the future.
After cleaning up the bandits in the villages and towns, fascist left only a small number of cavalry to maintain order as much as possible, and took the main force and Peter to the castle for rescue.
Even the bandits in the villages and towns were wiped out. Naturally, a small group of close friends who attacked the castle in Karan could not be the opponent of the church cavalry.
After persisting in a desperate struggle for a while, he soon suffered a rout. Except for the fascists who insisted on catching a few questions, all the rest were hanged by the cavalry, which can be regarded as the end of the disaster of this night.
The only regret is that a tutor of the college died in the battle and was smashed by a wandering wizard with a nail hammer; The remaining college wizards and apprentices were more or less injured. Fortunately, the gate of the castle is still guarded, which means that the apprentices in the main castle hall are still safe.
”Thank you very much for the assistance of the church. Without you and these brave knights, I'm afraid vimpal college will fall into the hands of these gangsters tonight.”
The smiling Peter stretched out his right hand to Francis. His kind and gentle voice made people unable to refuse: ”I don't know if you are willing to accept the thanks of an old man?”
