Chapter 104 Imprisoned Hillbilly
If only taking into account Shaar’s temper, he didn’t really give a damn about some stupid officer position or anything else in Byzantine Empire; therefore, he could just walk away. Although the opposite party had a large number of soldiers, ordinary attacks couldn’t harm him against his physical strength that got enhanced by dragon blood. Combined with the Dragonscale, his unparalleled fire pitchfork, and the short bursts of crimson rage ki that could destroy the hardest defenses – although opposite party had a lot of men, but it didn’t look like there was a powerful expert. If he used force, he could run away without a big issue.
However, his status right now was different. If he wanted to run, once it started, his comrades from the Rhodelia Cavalry Regiment wouldn’t sit by and do nothing. Inevitably, they would certainly draw their swords to assist. Once the fight started and he ran away, he only feared that his cavalry brothers would receive the punishment for him! They were citizens of the Byzantine Empire and had families to feed. They would get prosecuted under military law……
Taking a deep breath, Shaar’s complexion gradually calmed down. He raised his hand and that military officer immediately got anxious, before taking several steps back while holding up his sword.
Shaar revealed a scornful smile and put his hand on Sarbar’s hand. He then pushed down the sledge hammer in Sarbar’s hand and took two steps forward: “I will go with you.”
The nearby cavalry soldiers immediately created an uproar and Shaar suddenly turned his head, before fiercely shouting: “Stop with all this bullsh*t! Shut up!!”
His eyes then swept over the cavalry soldiers and slowly said: “What do you guys want to do? Kill the officer and revolt? Don’t forget your own status. Ah……I will go with them and I ask you to take care of all the other things!”
Sarbar immediately understood. The friendship between this uncouthly man and Shaar was very deep. He immediately replied: “You can rest assured, if they want to go against us Rhodelia people, I will ask the general first if he allows it!”
Shaar looked at the army and said with a sneer: “Need to tie me up?”
The officer hesitated and replied: “No need. I will just lead you back for the investigation if you accept the arrest.”
Shaar snorted: “Then, can I bring something with me?”
“You are not allowed to bring weapons, armors and horses.” The officer thought a bit and continued: “You can bring some clothing.”
Shaar pulled out his fire pitchfork with his backhand: “This does also count as weapon?”
The officer took a look at it and saw that this black fire pitchfork was a typical common tool to work the furnace. Although he was somewhat puzzled, he shook his head: “My Lord must be joking; this is naturally not a weapon. However, it is a metal tool……”
“This is something I hold very dear. This is the only relic that my foster father left behind.” Shaar shook his head while saying.
The officer considered for a moment. This fellow was willing to cooperate after great difficulty, since no fight broke out, what harm could a broken metal pitchfork do? He immediately nodded.
Shaar changed his clothes and brought a luggage wrapped in cloth with things inside. He then gave it to these soldiers to inspect in order to determine that he wasn’t carrying any hidden dagger or other iron tools with him.
Shaar then exhorted Sarbar: “That goblin saved my life, take care of him. After his wounds are healed, if he wants to leave, let him.”
Immediately several soldiers surrounded Shaar and left with him. Outside were several hundred fully-armed Byzantium infantries and they also gripped Shaar, before making him board a carriage going in formation. Before getting on, that officer whispered a sentence in Shaar’s ear: “I also respect the Rhodelia Cavalry Regiment, this time I got the military order and had no other way. I am sorry to offend you!”
The hillbilly was always open to persuasion and never gave in to coercion. If others were polite to him, he would also politely reply back. After hearing this, he nodded and didn’t utter a word inside the carriage.
Soon, the wheel began rolling and departed under the protection of the infantry.
Behind them, the cavalry soldiers pursued until the end of the street. Sarbar was so mad from anger, that his whole became flushed. While screaming, he angrily pounded his sledge hammer on the ground and maliciously stamped his feet. The other cavalry soldiers all had different expressions, some were angry, while other were depressed.
“Return to the barrack! Get ready to move out and immediately send an urgent report to the delay station for the general!!”
The cavalry soldiers withdrew and went back to prepare.
Tatara was the last one to leave, but the magician’s face had a hesitant expression.
The hillbilly got imprisoned……uh, should I find a way to inform Her Highness Adeline? Oh ……what should I do……Her highness didn’t allow me to reveal her identity……
Shaar initially thought that there were some harsh interrogation methods awaiting him. Torture like beating, leather whips, hot iron, tiger bench, dipping in chilli pepper water and other things that were mentioned in the legends.
In any case, he had a body that was strengthened by Dragonblood and there was no fear in his heart. As long as he found an opportunity, he could make an escape and when that time came, his brothers should have already left Primal Wildfire Town to return to the 13th Cavalry Army. With Adrick’s protection, they wouldn’t be in any danger and when the time came, he would just escape from prison. The sky was high and sea wide. Bird could fly and fish swim. In worst case, he would wait until the Byzantine Army had withdrawn and go back to become a magical beast hunter again, or try his luck as mercenary. He would be happy with that lifestyle as well.
However, the interrogation he expected, never arrived.
