Lord Highlander

  Chapter 444 443. Small Town

  Andrew followed the boy through the living room and into the back kitchen.

The kitchen is in a mess, the door behind the kitchen is open, the long table in the kitchen is full of some tomatoes and onions, carrots in a basket, the fireplace is full of ashes from burnt firewood, and a mouthful is hanging from the fireplace. The iron pot, the things boiled in the iron pot have been scorched beyond recognition, even the surroundings of the fireplace are blackened by black smoke, several chairs have been knocked over on the floor, and the hooks hanging from the corners of dried meat and ham are still hanging. over there.

There was still a bitten pig's foot on an iron hook. It seemed to be a big ham. From the traces, it should have been gnawed clean by **** dogs. There was also some dried purple blood.

  He carefully looked at the layout of the kitchen, as if he was recalling something, he paused for about a minute before starting to act

  The boy looked at the corner with some disappointment. There should have been two hams and some dried horse meat hanging there. He found a block of cottage cheese from one cupboard, a whole stack of baked wheatbread from the cupboard below, unrotten onions and carrots from a basket, and deftly stuffed them into a backpack, his backpack I don't know how many things are in it, it looks bulging.

   From Suldak's blurry vision, a large round pumpkin can be seen.

  The boy said with a look of disappointment: "These **** vicious dogs have eaten all the ham here, and they can eat our food."

  Standing behind the boy, Andrew said in a low tone, "They eat everything. They probably didn't find these cheeses and baked oatmeal, otherwise they wouldn't give you anything left."

"I hoped to find some meat back! This is Old Brown's home. He told me that when he had enough at home, he could find some ham. That's why I ventured here." Looking at the vegetables in the backpack, I wanted to cry No tears, these things are not enough.

  He tried to open all the doors of the closet, but there were only some kitchen utensils inside, all of which were porcelain, clay pots and the like.

  Andrew looked at the boy, thought for a while, and asked, "Do you want to eat meat? It's easy! Is there enough water in the basement where you are hiding?"

  The boy nodded vigorously, and then said to Andrew: "Well, there is an underground waterway connected there. Unless that waterway dries up, we won't be short of water."

  Andrew nodded, patted his chest with his big rough hand, and assured the boy: "That's easy! Look at me!"

He rudely pushed all the things on the wooden table to the ground, and found a thick tablecloth to spread on it. He quickly walked out of the kitchen, dragged the corpses of the three hellhounds in the living room into the kitchen, and took He took out a small skinning knife and quickly peeled off the skin of the Cerberus, and threw it **** on the square table, cut open the chest cavity, stripped off the foul-smelling internal organs, chopped off four paws and tail, and scooped it up from the water tank next to it. Some cold water was poured on it, repeatedly washing the dirty blood in the hellhound's cavity.

While Andrew was doing these things, the investigation team searched the room carefully. Viscount Emmet worried that the movement here would attract **** dogs patrolling the street, so he sent people to carefully guard the front and rear doors, but In the stealth state, communication can only be done with some simple gestures, and you can only see each other at close range, so it is very difficult to communicate.

   Soon, Andrew began to cut the fresh meat of the **** dog, and then found the salt shaker in the kitchen, and sprinkled salt on the fresh meat of the **** dog to marinate.

While quickly cutting the fresh meat, he told the boy: "The meat itself has certain toxins, so it must be soaked in water to remove the poisonous blood, and it can only be eaten after being cooked. When we were guarding the city wall, the logistical supplies used to be Once interrupted, the flesh of these hellhounds will be used to satisfy hunger, and the weak will be fasted."

He picked the meat of the three hellhounds very clean, washed them and salted them, carried them on the tablecloth and carried them behind his back, and kept telling him: "The boiled meat can only be eaten and not eaten." Drink the soup, or you will have a stomachache."

  The boy nodded vigorously like pounding garlic, indicating that he remembered it.

Andrew followed the boy carefully out of the room, lowered his voice and asked: "We can go to other places to find some food, you are familiar with the town, you should know where there is food, maybe we can go to a nearby bakery to look for it. "

The boy cautiously poked his head out of the crack of the door, and found that the alley was quiet, so he quickly got out of the crack of the door and said to Andrew: "Well, I know where the bakery is, but there is a guard guarding it." Big dog, I can't lure it away."

   "We can try it later, but what you need to do now is to transport these things back..." Andrew pointed to the heavy packages on the two of them.

  Carrying a heavy package on his back, the boy climbed up the courtyard wall with hands and feet, and then squatted on the wall to beckon Andrew to come up quickly.

  Andrew turned over and climbed up to the top of the wall. The whole wall shook slightly. The boy squatted on the top of the wall, his face turned pale, and he stuck out his tongue regretfully and said, "It seems that we'd better go underneath, it's safer..."

  Three **** dogs passed by the entrance of the alley, Andrew hurriedly dragged the boy to lie on top of the wall until the **** dogs were far away, and the two jumped off the wall.

  The boy led the way. He was very familiar with this town, and the roads he walked were almost all narrow alleys.

  He didn't know that beside Andrew, there were six other knights hiding in the shadows and watching him silently. The Maca dialect and Nanai indigenous language spoken by the boy, probably only Andrew can communicate smoothly. There will be a few **** dogs passing by on the main street from time to time. This town is bigger than imagined. It is much larger, and the alleys in the houses are very complicated. Only children like boys who have lived in small towns since childhood know how to get out of the cobweb-like alleys.

As soon as the boy stepped out of a dark alley, he saw two hellhounds burying their heads in digging a garbage dump. They raised their heads immediately, and two pairs of eyes with purple stripes looked at the boy for two seconds. In the process, the hellhound didn't even make any sound, its huge body turned around nimbly, its hind legs kicked **** the ground, and it rushed towards the boy.

  The boy quickly turned around and ran away. The vicious dog ran behind the boy like lightning, put its claws on the boy's shoulders, and bit the boy's cervical vertebrae.

  A large ax emerges from the shadows beside the boy, carrying a violent gust of wind.

The hellhound tilted its head and was about to bite the boy's neck. When it saw the giant ax emerging from the shadows, its huge body jumped up immediately. Trying to avoid the ax, it bit back at the one holding the ax handle. big hands...

Andrew pressed the handle of the ax hard, and the handle sank suddenly. The blade of the ax slashed on the back of the **** dog, and there was a crisp sound of bone cracking. Suddenly, the back of the **** dog was split by the giant axe. Wound.

The hellhound following behind was so frightened that it stopped chasing. With its tail between its legs, it curled up its body and let out a warning howl towards the empty night sky. In the shadow on the side, a blood-colored curved blade appeared out of thin air, and easily cut off its head.

Suldak held the **** head of the vicious dog in one hand and the blood red crescent in the other. Then he kicked away the corpse of the **** dog, walked to Andrew, and took the **** dog in Andrew's hand. The head also took over.

  The boy stared at Suldak dumbfounded, then at Andrew, and closed his mouth wisely.

   "This is my captain..." Andrew felt that it was still necessary to introduce Suldak's identity to the boy.

The boy nodded without asking any further questions, and walked ahead consciously. The vent in the basement was set up very secretly. It was on the north wall of a small courtyard. There was an iron window in the vent. The boy Skillfully removed the bars, the vent was only one foot square, and the boy could just climb in.

  He divided the food in the package into several portions, and moved things into the aisle little by little like a hamster, first wheat cake and cheese, then onions, carrots and pumpkins, and finally some vicious dog meat that Andrew pickled.

When the boy climbed up, it had been a while, and Andrew was even a little impatient. Just when he thought that the boy might not climb out, the boy struggled to climb out. The hole was very small. He was worn out by vents in several places, and there were red slap marks on his face.

  The boy climbed out and looked at Suldak, confirming again: "The reinforcements from Wojmara will be here soon, aren't they?"

"Of course, the Benar heavy cavalry is fighting **** battles with the hellhounds outside the city of Wojmara, and there are now two full-staffed Constructed Swordsman regiments in the city of Wojmara, we are looking for a suitable place to attack. ’ Suldak said to the boy.

  There was a glimmer of hope on the boy's face, and even his eyes became much brighter.

   It’s just that there is another sentence in the back. Suldak didn’t say to the boy: There are three such attack locations. Only when the Devil’s Gate or Hell Passage is found, the Bena Allied Forces will attack immediately.

   "What's wrong with your face?" Andrew leaned in front of the boy and asked.

   reached out to touch it, but the boy turned his head away.

The boy's eyes dimmed slightly, and he explained in a low voice: "They don't want me to go out to take risks, and we had a little argument because of this. I know they are concerned about me. They are worried that the reinforcements will not arrive in time. Once something happens to me, many people will Starved to death in the basement, the exit of the basement was completely blocked from the outside, without the help of outsiders, they couldn't get out at all!"

  Suldak patted the boy's thin shoulder and said, "It's indeed dangerous. In fact, you just need to point us in the specific direction. Of course, it's best to tell us how to get there!"

Hearing what Suldak said, the boy shook his head without hesitation, raised his face and said stubbornly: "Since the Bena Swordsmen have come, they will definitely avenge those who died in the town... I also want to Do something for loved ones back in the arms of God Paglio! And...a man will do what he says!"

   "Hehe!" Suldak couldn't help but smile after hearing this. He was full of affection for this indigenous boy. Suldak asked seriously, "Little man, what's your name?"

   "Buta!" replied the boy.

   "My name is Suldak!"

  Suldak stretched out his fist to the boy, and the boy also stretched out his fist, and the two fists touched together.

  …

  The residential area of ​​Meijin Township is very densely built, with stone houses close together, and the yard is small.

  Suldak and Andrew sneaked along with Little Buta. The three almost perfectly avoided the hellhounds patrolling the street, and took advantage of the night to cross most of the small town of Meijin.

The town is very clean, and there are no corpses to be seen along the way. If it weren't for some dried blood on the street, people might mistakenly think that the residents here just disappeared out of thin air. Surdak looked at the dead bodies on the side of the street. He dropped a boot, and he couldn't help expressing his doubts: "What about the rest of the town? Have they all been eaten by **** dogs?"

The boy Buta shook his head vigorously, and said in a low voice, "I don't know. The first time I got out of the basement, I saw a lot of **** dogs on the street. At that time, all the **** dogs in this town were killing those **** dogs. The dead are dragged to the town temple!"

   "You mean they have always gathered human corpses?" Surdak wanted to know what those hellhounds were trying to do, so he asked the boy, "Where is the temple?"

   "It's right there..." The boy leaned against the wall and pointed to the tall Gothic-style building hidden in the night not far away.

In the twilight, through the darkness of the night, Suldak saw at a glance hundreds of **** dogs entrenched in the dark at the temple gate. Among these **** dogs, there were many strong and huge **** dogs. Shuttle among them.

  The stone slabs of the entire street are stained with a thick layer of bloodstains. These bloodstains are new and old, like dragging tracks. These tracks come from all directions, and all the bloodstains eventually belong to this temple.

   There was an intermittent cry of night owls from the temple. This sound seemed to have a magical power, which made people upset.

  The boy wanted to go inside, but was held back by Suldak. Suldak said to the boy, "We can find a hidden place to hide here..."

The boy looked at Suldak suspiciously. Suldak shrugged his shoulders. There were many hellhounds patrolling the nearby area. The boy jumped over the wall into a yard and opened the closed gate from the inside. People hid in this yard.

   Just after the three of them hid, the howling of **** dogs came one after another from a distance.

   "Aww..."

  The **** dogs guarding the entrance of the temple seemed a little irritable. Some **** dogs chased after the sound, but there were still many **** dogs guarding the entrance of the temple.

Suldak leaned on the roof and watched quietly from the temple. After staring for a while, Suldak found that there were no **** dogs coming out of the temple continuously, which could rule out that there was a demon gate or hell. The suspicion of the passage, otherwise the hellhound coming out of here would definitely not be just this little.

   "Andrew, what do you think is hidden in that temple?" Suldak asked Andrew beside him, lying on the ridge of the roof.

   "Maybe there will be an answer later..." Andrew replied.
