Warhammer Throne

The next afternoon, when the sky was still bright, Raymond returned home. He lied to the knight master's butler, saying that his mother was already dying and was approaching the situation where he was about to give an anointing ceremony to prepare for the funeral.

The butler of the knight master reluctantly agreed to Raymond's request for leave. Bretonian law has detailed provisions for the exemption of serfs from labor, including sick leave.

The spirit of chivalry is still respected by the nobles...at least on the surface, where the law stipulates that the knights and nobles still maintain their fear of the fairies in the lake.

Raymond took the opportunity to return home early. He and his mother agreed to cook in the afternoon. After the family had a full meal, they waited for the riot to occur, and immediately fled once the riot started.

The serf opened the door of his house, and there was a burst of fragrance on her face. That was why the old mother reluctantly took out the seed grain to make porridge.

Seed grain is the life of serfs, and when he smelled this scent, Raymond was not only not happy, but heartbroken.

If it were not for no choice, who would like this? Be a fugitive slave, leave the land where your ancestors have lived for generations, and embark on a journey full of danger and uncertainty.

"Raymond, are you back? Eat! I'll pack things up again." The old mother is putting away the family property, which includes a lot of bottles and cans and some old clothes, which are almost already owned by the family. All property.

"Oh, mother, we are trying to escape! These things are heavy and difficult to carry, so we can't go far like this!" Raymond knew that the family had been hungry for several months, and a full meal was not enough to keep them. Walking too far, the eldest son threw these things aside decisively, beckoning everyone to eat quickly.

The youngest son Thomas can’t control that much. His thin, dry face is full of longing. He holds the bowl with his little hands, sipping porridge and eating bread. After the whole bowl of porridge is drunk, the child He even stuck out his tongue and licked the bowl with a mission.

"Hurry up, Aran and the others are going to make trouble!" Leimen urged his old mother and younger brother to eat as soon as possible. The serfs planned to riot at the end of the evening. He also ate himself full, and then took the remaining bread. Put it in a burlap bag, which is their rations for their escape, and then took out a handful of copper coins and a silver coin from the secret compartment under the bed at home. This is the last savings of the family.

The riot was not a temporary intent, but a plan. In the evening, when the serfs finished their work, it was the time when their defenses were the most lax.

[Shuquge www.shuquge.co] The sky gradually dimmed, and the arrival of dusk did not make the village quiet. On the contrary, quarrels broke out in the direction of the knight master's house.

"We grow food, we starve to death! Who is this food for?"

"I don't care! There is food here! We want food!"

"Vampire! Go to hell!"

Arguing, fighting, thick smoke began to rise from the direction of the knight master's house, that was the situation of the house being lit, and Raymond inside the house was waiting for this moment.

The guards on the high walls of the village noticed the movement of the knight master's house and heard the order for help. They hesitated for a while, and then decided to rush to the manor to support.

It's now! After Raymond confirmed that the number of people in the village sentry was reduced, the family sneaked out of the house. Luck from the house next door also showed up from the house with his family. Luck was also with the young guy. He had two younger sisters. Both parents have passed away.

"Hey, Luck, are you ready?" Raymond whispered to his neighbor.

"Ready!" The other guy pulled his two younger sisters, also ready to escape.

"Thomas..." Raymond looked back and found that his brother was behind him, but his mother did not appear: "Where's mom?"

"I'm here!" The old mother was carrying a large basket of bottles and cans, which were what they had thrown away before, panting: "Where to go?"

"Oh! Mom, what are you doing with these!" Raymond shouted angrily. He grabbed the big basket on his mother's back and slammed it on the ground.

"Wow!" A large basket of bottles, jars, and tableware were all broken to pieces.

"Oh! God! Raymond, do you know what you are doing? This is all of our family's property!" The old mother couldn't believe her eldest son would do such a thing, she cried with anger: "You kid! If your dad knows that you are ruining things like this, he will kill you!"

"If you don't throw these away, we will die on the way to escape sooner or later!" Raymond gritted his teeth and pulled his old mother and younger brother: "Go! It's too late!"

While the guards left to suppress the serf riots, Lei Meng and his party fled in the opposite direction, and they ran all the way to the south.

They dare not walk on the road, and a group of people only dare to copy the trails.

What they saw and heard along the way shocked Raymond and Luck. Serf bodies were hung everywhere in the vicinity of the village, and groups of serfs were executed.

Under the faint moonlight, Raymond could find that some serfs were caught and executed as fugitives, some serfs were executed after the riots, and some serfs were starved to death.

No matter what, the ending is death.

There was chaos everywhere. Robbers and bandits were shuttled in the dark. Raymond and his team had escaped two waves of bandits. These bandits attacked the village, killed the defenders, and looted everywhere.

If it were before, the knights would be dispatched to organize an army to eliminate these robbers and bandits. However, the knightly war five years ago made the guards in many areas of the territory stretched, and the knights could only defend the core area and key roads. Security, many fringe villages and small roads have become paradise for bandits, bandits, and beastman tribes. The knights still bravely fight against evil. However, the insufficient number of troops obviously makes the knights insufficient to protect all the territories.

They can only flee desperately, to the south.

It is said that the South is different from the North. It is the territory ruled by the holy grail knights. The virtues of holy grail knights are trusted by serfs. In fact, when holy grail knights pass by, the lord masters will converge a little and dare not go too far.

Maybe these holy grail knight lords are willing to accept them?

…………

In this way, the group found a place to rest during the day and drove at night. They headed south along the edge of the Ardennes Forest. After escaping for two days and two nights, they spent their last savings to sneak across a large river.

After a few hours, they entered a dense forest.

"Raymond~ I can't walk anymore." The old mother gasped hard, she leaned against a big tree: "Shall we rest for a while?"

"Damn it, where are we?" Raymond stopped to rest when he saw this.

After two days and two nights of frantic escape, the group did not know where they had fled. They lost their way on the way to escape. The nobles had few troops searching for fugitive slaves. Raymond knew that they had left Lyonasse. The principality has entered the boundaries of other principalities, but no one knows where they are.

In Brittany, the vast majority of serfs never leave their villages in their lives. Generally, they only have a few chances to leave their villages and go to other places to be appointed by the lord. Once they leave the villages where they have lived for generations, The outside world was chaos and unknown to the serfs.

In order to avoid the patrols of robbers, bandits and nobles, they dare not take the big road, and in order to avoid encountering wild orcs, they dare not go too deep into the forest.

"Oh~Oh~" Raymond’s old mother really couldn’t walk anymore. She had never walked this far. Now her feet were so swollen that she could hardly walk anymore: "Raymond, my Son, when are we going to be the heads?"

"Mom, don't worry, come and have something to eat." Raymond and his neighbor Luck took out some food, and they started to cook and cook.

After escaping, the two families ate better. Although it was late winter, there was still some food in the forest. There were fish in the pond, rabbits and birds in the forest. They found a big tree to sit on. When they came down, the clothes of the serfs were not too thick. They crouched and hid under the big tree, eating.

"Brother, I'm cold." Raymond's younger brother Thomas shrank into a ball and said uncomfortably.

"Be stronger, Thomas." Raymond stuffed the bread into his brother's hands, and whispered: "Be stronger, everyone is cold, we spend a few days out of the forest, it won't be like this."

Simply ate something, boiled some water, and the group was ready to go on.

The gloomy forest always makes people feel terrified. In the difficult progress, a few people don't even know how the sky is.

"When is the time now?" Raymond licked his mouth. His nose was red with cold. In the cold weather, the serf could only wear a single coat with a cloak covered with a lot of thatch. He didn't even know it. What time is it now?

"It feels... three hours? Four hours?" the other serf Luck asked suspiciously.

The sunlight can't be seen in the forest, and the serfs can't tell the east from the west to the north.

After walking for a while, the two serfs felt something was wrong.

There was a smell of fishy earth in the air, and a low roar came from the forest in the distance.

It's a Beast!

"Mom! Thomas! It's a Beastman! Quick! Get up, let's run away!" Raymond and Luck looked at each other, their faces turned pale, how do they deal with the powerful Beastman? They only have a few wooden sticks and two knives for cutting bread!

The Beastmen apparently also realized that there are humans nearby. The object was a few horned beasts. They let out a stern roar, and then rushed directly towards the place where the group of people were. These were a few ordinary horned beasts, they seemed to be injured. But even so, they are still not comparable to these fugitives.

The group of people who had been walking for two days and nights was very tired, especially Luck's two younger sisters and Raymond's old mother. After only two steps, the old mother wailed and fell to the ground.

She has reached her limit.

"Mom!" Raymond found his mother fell to the ground, he turned around subconsciously: "Mom, go! Otherwise we will all die!"

"No, I can't walk anymore, Raymond, take your brother, and run away!" The old mother shook her head, tears on her old face: "Raymond, take Thomas, you can run away, see you Beastman When I have something to eat, I will definitely not rush to chase you!"

"Mom!" Leimen carried his mother, and the serf had tears in his eyes. He desperately shook his head: "No, finally escaped, finally escaped here, mother, I will never give up on you."

The roar of the beastman gradually approached, and the stern shout was circling in everyone's ears, and it appeared so clear in the dim forest.

Raymond carried his mother on his back, pulling his brother, and trotting all the way, his neighbor Lakra took his two younger sisters to escape together.

Several Beastmen approached. Obviously, with the exception of a very small number of human beings, most of them could not run past such terrible creatures as Beastmen.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

How could the serf be the opponent of the horned beast? In just two rounds, Luck was chopped off his left arm in a scream. The Beastman grabbed his body and tore it in half in the air, with internal organs and blood sprayed on the ground.

"Run away! Raymond." The old mother cried, "Don't worry about me, I have lived for more than forty years, enough."

"Mom! Mom!" The short Thomas also wailed. Not far away, the Beastman was enjoying a long-lost meal. Although Luck had pushed his two sisters away, they Still unable to escape bad luck, a few wild orcs caught the two girls and then divided their food cruelly.

"We can't escape, we can't escape, maybe this is our destiny." Raymond also sobbed: "Maybe this is our destiny, lady in the lake, lady Salia, whoever it is, please help Save us, please save us!"

This may be the fate of the serfs, no matter how they try, the end will be death.

"Help us!" Leimen shouted loudly and echoed in the forest, spreading far, far away.

The serfs simply did not have the ability to fight against the orcs. This was their last attempt to save themselves in despair.

His cry for help was not ignored.

A golden arc appeared from the depths of the forest, almost in the blink of an eye, the raging orcs were cut into scattered pieces.

A giant with a height of more than three meters and a golden helmet and golden armor appeared in front of the serf.

The Raymond family were surprised and speechless.

The giant with golden helmet and golden armor looked at the dead Luck family on the ground, looked at the several horned beasts that had been chopped into pieces, shook his head, and then said something incomprehensible to the serf.

Raymond had never seen such a wise man. He even forgot to kneel and kowtow for a while, but shook his head in confusion, indicating that he could not understand what the other party was saying.

"It's a fugitive slave again..." The giant with golden helmet and armor had no expression on his face. He coughed and said in low Gothic language: "I mean, you should call for help early, otherwise your companions will also Won't die."

"Are you... are you a god?" Raymond was still stunned.

"No, I'm not a deity, but I serve someone greater than a deity." The giant pointed in a direction in the forest and said, "Go over there, a new road has been built over there, and someone is patrolling. They said that you came from a disaster, and they will not embarrass you. Follow the path they pointed out and you can go to the territory of Lord Ryan, the holy grail knight, where you can find work and food. Be diligent."

After speaking, the giant with golden helmet and golden armor was about to turn around and leave.

"That, sir, can you tell me your name?" Raymond called him subconsciously. He knelt down and said in a very firm tone: "Although I have nothing, Thomas and I must have my mother. I will find a way to repay your kindness!"

"Name?" The giant turned around, he looked up at the sky, and then shook his head, giving up the idea of ​​saying his name.

"I never leave a name for good deeds, so call me Black Gloves." I want to talk about "" with more like-minded people. WeChat pays attention to "Excellent Reading Literature", talks about life, and finds friends~
