Riding and Slashing

Chapter 321 Goodbye, Milgan
Howling Fort.

"It's hard to imagine that there is no one here... Where are the people here?"

Milgan Kirik looked left and right in the ruined castle, not even seeing a dog.

"It is said that they were taken to Cane Castle by the Lion Knights... The Sarleon Kingdom gave up this place before and handed over this castle to the Three Prophets, so I let you come here."

Inna replied, he looked at the Temple of Order on the top of the mountain in the distance, took off his helmet and saluted silently.

"Don't you have no faith? Why do you still salute to the temple?"

Milgan looked at Inna, a little puzzled.

"That's where I was born. Two hours ago, I just buried my mother's bones there...Mirgan, I'm not without faith, I just don't believe in God. But I firmly believe that I will still be able to enter the Hall of Valor in the future ——I now understand a truth..."

Inna shook his head, looked at Milgan and smiled.

"What's the point?"

Milgan was even more puzzled, he obviously didn't understand what Inna said.

"People need faith, but they don't need gods - quite the opposite, in fact, the gods need people, and they need many people... And, they both need people to die for them, just in different ways..."

Inar spoke blasphemous words, and the word he used was 'they'.

"...Inna, shut up, I think you're going to hell..."

Milgan was obviously a little scared, he looked around.

Saying such things these days is basically tantamount to heresy, and there are hundreds of heroine female warriors around them-these female soldiers are the most devout believers of the ice sea gods.

Fortunately, these female soldiers can't understand the Pande language they speak.

"You probably don't understand, Milgan, but you are the one who has no faith..."

Ina smiled mockingly.

"...I am now a loyal servant of the Ice Sea Gods!"

Milgan was silent for a while, and expressed his attitude from embarrassment to anger.

"That's right, when you were in Sarleon Land, you were the servant of the Goddess of Order; when you arrived in Vanskerry, you became the servant of the Gods of the Ice Sea again... If you go to the continent of Amalur in the future, will you be Become a servant of the Snake Cult Aziz Dahaka?"

Inna grinned: "You believe in as many gods as you have cheated women..."

Milgan lowered his face, but he was powerless to refute, and he did not get angry.

Although Inner would taunt him from time to time, this 'provocative' Inner's temperament is so unlikable-in Milgan's view, if it wasn't because of such a broken mouth, how could this handsome guy with good skills be reduced to What about fugitives for regicide?
Very nice person, why do you have to have a long mouth...

Alas, but now I need his mouth again.

"Winata!!"

Suddenly, a female soldier shouted loudly on the city wall.

All the heroine female warriors pulled out their axes and looked outside the city.

"They say there are enemies..."

Inna translated for Milgan.

"I'm already aware of this situation..."

Milgan quickly climbed up to the wall and took a look: "Is it Fieldsway's troops? Ha, that's not the enemy, just in time...Inna, let's raise the white flag!"

"You plan to surrender to this army? This is not my father's army..."

Inna also went up to the city wall to take a look, but shook his head instead of making any movement.

"Of course we have to surrender. Isn't that what we planned?"

Milgan pointed to the outside of the city: "Although the lord of Gondor did not come, this is Earl Aidin of the 'Red Sword', a great lord stronger than your father. Shouldn't you surrender to him?"

This was indeed their plan - to take control of Howling Castle, and then defect to Filzweil, with Inar's adoptive father, 'Doomseeker' Gondor, as the referrer.

In this way, Milgan can become the lord of Fieldsway, and he can also own the base of Howling Castle.

Although there are no residents in the Howling Castle, at least the city defenses are complete, and this is indeed the site of the Three Prophets, so there can be a suitable explanation for the heroine female warriors.

This enables Milgan to lead the female warriors to 'search for the three prophets and lift the queen's curse'.

As long as there are soldiers in his hands, and they are female soldiers, Milgan firmly believes that he can stand up again.

"Oh? Surrender to Earl Aidin, and then your life and death will be decided by him? Do you really plan to do that?"

Inner shook his head with a half-smile: "Mirgan, you may not know that every time Earl Aidin goes to Vanskerry Island, he sleeps on the bed of Queen Agnus... Oh, maybe He never slept in that bed..."

"Hiss... is there such a thing?"

Milgan gasped. Although he was not sensitive to politics, he reacted extremely quickly to matters between men and women.

Since Earl Aidin is also Queen Agnus' favorite man, then Milgan must not surrender to Aidin...

Will Aidin regard himself as a rival in love?

Surrender to him, maybe you will be cut off!
"Prepare for battle! Defend the Howling Castle... Inna, are you sure your father will come here?"

Milgan asked Inna a little worriedly.

He knew that Gondor must have nothing to do with Queen Agnus, after all, Gondor was not from Vanskerry.

"Of course, my father will come in just one or two days...Mirgan, let's change our equipment, your blue armor is too conspicuous..."

Inna nodded. Before the battle, he stopped ridiculing, and instead considered Milgan's safety.

Milgan's blue heavy armor looks too obvious on the city wall, and it is indeed easy to be attacked by concentrated fire.

This is why Milgan can always trust Inna.

In the face of danger, Inna has indeed been thinking of Milgan.

As for the usual mild ridicule, it was just Inner expressing his true thoughts to his friends--you can only say such things to friends, at least Milgan thinks so.

So Milgan went back to the city wall, exchanged armor with Inna, and patted Inna on the shoulder: "Be careful yourself."

"I will direct the female warriors from behind..."

Inner shrugged, indicating that he would not go out in plain sight.

Outside the city, Earl Aidin's troops had begun to accelerate.

I don't know what order Aidin gave. Anyway, all the troops started to climb the city and attack without even saying hello.

"It looks like Aidin really wants to kill me!"

Milgan grinned grimly, drew his sword and stood on the top of the wall.

In any case, he is indeed a brave fighter.

In fact, the battle was not intense at all.

This is not because the combat effectiveness of the two sides is not good. In fact, the troops on both sides are elite and have strong combat effectiveness-Mirgan's side is the female warrior of the heroic spirit, while Earl Aidin's side is Queen Agnus's guards.

The Queen's Guard are also all female soldiers, but these women are more tenacious in battle than most men. They are called the Queen's Guard and are skilled in using various axes, including throwing axes.

The reason why the fight was not intense was mainly because the queen's guards and the heroine female warriors knew each other...

Moreover, the troops on both sides did not have bows and crossbows-the siege battle did not have bows and crossbows, and they were all acquaintances, so naturally they would not be fierce.

The heroine female warriors yelled at each other, and soon stopped.

Milgan saw that Inna had tried his best to shout and command the female warriors, even exposing himself to the top of the city, but it still seemed to have no effect—the heroine female warriors went down the city wall instead and stopped fighting.

On the top of the city, only Inna and Milgan are left.

The queen's guards outside the city also stopped to look, they seemed to be distinguishing something.

After that, I don't know what kind of hatred they had for Milgan, anyway, almost all the queen's guards started throwing axes at Milgan...

So, Milgan at the head of the city faced the overwhelming flying axes!
The number of axes flying towards him once made Milgan feel that it was getting dark!

No matter how good his skills are, no matter how thick his armor is, there is only one result in this situation - being smashed down by countless axes, and his body is covered with cuts and bruises.

"***! What the hell..."

Milgan is not dead yet, at least he still has the strength to scold his mother.

But he definitely won't live for long - he fell from the city wall upside down into the city, with at least a dozen throwing axes inlaid all over his body, and three fatal wounds on his chest.

Inna, on the other hand, was unharmed.

"……why is that?!"

Milgan didn't understand, why those guards only threw axes at himself?
"Mirgan, I'm sorry, I'm just following orders. You are the best at dealing with women, and now dying at the hands of so many women is the best destination."

Inar stroked the dirt on his armor—he was wearing Milgan's blue heavy armor.

"I'm..."

Milgan probably understood, but he couldn't finish cursing, a large stream of blood came out of his mouth, his eyes were dull as he watched the city gate not moving, his throat was rolling, but he couldn't utter sound.

When Inna turned around, the city gate had already been opened, and several Queen's guards entered the Howling Castle.

"That's right, they just wanted to kill me... These are Queen Agnus's guards, they dare not attack you. Your armor is very conspicuous...but it's safe. Goodbye, Milgan."

Inar reached out and caressed down Milgan's wide-open eyes.

It's useless, still can't rest in peace.

Earl Edin entered the Howling Castle, and nodded to Inna: "Good job..."

"We have to separate the heroines and the queen's guards so they don't talk too much to each other."

Inna also nodded to Earl Aidin: "So, I will leave here temporarily, Uncle Aidin."

Aidin laughed and patted Inna on the shoulder: "That's right, you can go to High Cliff Fort to support King Vidis. You are the Lord of Filtzway now, Inna."

"...King Vidis may not think so, Uncle Edin, but I do want to swear allegiance."

Inna shook his head, and summoned the heroine female warriors to leave the Howling Castle first.

A few minutes later, there was a burst of exclamation from outside the Howling Fort—the female guards finally realized that they had killed the wrong person, and that the queen's "favorite concubine" Milgan was thrown to death by them...

Now these guards must be homeless...

They came out to retrieve Queen Agnus's "favorite concubine", but this favorite concubine died in their hands. If they return to Vanskerry, Queen Agnus might eat them!
And on the road outside the Howling Fort, the heroine female warriors also sighed silently—Mirgan brought them out to find the three prophets, and the purpose was to 'remove the queen's curse'.

But now that Milgan is dead, it means that their task is difficult to complete!

Naturally, they can’t go back if they can’t complete the task. They are not familiar with the place of life. Right now, they can only think about how to survive under the leadership of Inna, and then try to complete the extremely difficult task of ‘killing the three prophets’...

If nothing else happens, they won't be able to find the Three Prophets until they learn the common language of Pendor.

After they learn Pan'dur... at least it will take a year and a half, will they still want to go back to Vanskerry?

Inner is not sure.

But he can at least be sure that within a year and a half, these female warriors can only follow him now.

Because, Inna really wanted to find the Three Prophets.

However, it is not because of love that he wants to find the Three Prophets now.

But because of hate.

He already knew that his mother died at the hands of the three prophets.

Although the Three Prophets claimed that it was suicide, he found a skeleton wearing a nun's robe and the corpses of young children all over the ground in the Temple of Order in Howling Castle.

When he saw all this, he was with his own father Als.

Li Ang specially asked Ors to go to Howling Fort to find out the truth - ever since he discovered that the name 'Cersey' belonged to a fat cook who specialized in destroying corpses, Li Ang didn't believe anything the three prophets said .

And what happened at Howling Castle is indeed very different from what the prophetess who called herself 'Sersey' said.

Sister Clancy did not fall off the cliff, and all the ribs on her chest were broken, and all of them were broken inwards, as if they had been hit by a battering ram.

It couldn't have been a suicide, it was a blow to the chest with such force that it took only one blow - only the Three Seers could beat a man's ribs like that.

And Anna, that beautiful girl, can now be sure that her skin was used by the three prophets only because she was beautiful, and her identity as an orphan of the nobles was easier to conceal.

Inna can now answer the question that Leon asked him - do you love Anna's skin or soul?

Skin.

Yes, that's the honest answer.

Of course, there may be some other fetters in it-maybe this is a natural connection between mother and child. Anna was raised by Sister Clancy. From Anna, Inna may be able to see the mother's past. look.

That's why he fell in love at first sight, but that wasn't true love.

Now, Inar wanted to find the three prophets and kill them—he had said the same to Milgan and the heroines.

He never lies.

Including Earl Aidin, he didn't lie, he really wanted to swear allegiance.

However, the object of allegiance is not King Vidis.

Inna knew that he was not a smart person, but he was sure that Li Ang must be a smart person, a person who was a hundred times smarter than his adoptive father.

After all, Gondor the Doomseeker has struggled for half his life, and now he is only the lord of Longbeard Fortress.

As for Li Ang, after three years of struggle, he has become the Grand Duke of the Lion Kingdom—not even just the Grand Duke...

Inna now knows who he should follow—whoever shares his aspirations should follow him.

Enmity with the three prophets, this is the common appeal.

The person he really swore allegiance to was waiting for him a dozen miles outside the Howling Fort.

"Lord Li Ang, Earl Aidin is actually a good man, if possible..."

Inna begged Li Ang in a forest.

"Inna, I just want to trap Aidin with the least amount of troops. He is much safer than you. But your adoptive father... Are you sure you can convince Gondor?"

Li Ang shook his head, a little undecided.

"After all, he is the father who has raised me for more than ten years. I know him... Although he doesn't like King Ulrik, he doesn't have any grudges against you and His Majesty Sonard. And he has no pursuit of the territory, What he loves is life at sea, he is a born captain."

Inner said with certainty: "You said you have a Mettenheim iron-clad ship—he even dreams of becoming the captain of an iron-clad ship!"

"Son, that's not what Lord Li Ang is worried about. Let's go, we will go with you to meet that doom seeker."

Aurs stepped forward and patted Inner on the shoulder.
