Riding and Slashing

Chapter 345 Kavela

December 357 of the Pandeli calendar.

Sarleon.

This is the first time Kavela has come to this city known as the 'Continental Center'.

But she was disappointed.

Because she didn't see the legendary prosperous scene, only saw the wounded everywhere, and countless haggard residents who had struggled in the quagmire of war for a whole year.

The city wall is still tall, but it is a little dilapidated, and the traces left by the trebuchet and the wall chisel are vivid.

There are no merchants in the city, and no nobles in fresh clothes and angry horses. They must have all run away...

Only thin warriors and ragged peasants still walk through the wide streets of the city.

It seems that it is the same no matter where, once the war comes, only civilians cannot escape, and there is nowhere to escape.

It's a run-down city, but it's still reasonably clean.

Perhaps, without the nobles, the city will be much cleaner...

After all, the poor will not discard any edible or usable objects, even the dead branches and leaves will be collected and used as firewood.

In addition, during the war, human and horse feces have been collected as city defense supplies. There are no shops on the street, and there are no people in the tavern. Naturally, there will be no vomit or various residues...

Cavela suddenly remembered what Sir Roland said - there is no garbage in the countryside, and everything has a purpose; only big cities have so much garbage, because life in the city does not conform to the laws of nature.

Sir Roland was indeed a wise philosopher.

Cavela thinks.

Even Lion Lake City, where Sir Roland is located, looks more reassuring than Sarleon City - because there are 'New Dawn Knights' patrolling everywhere in the streets of Lion Lake City.

In Lieshi City, most people had sad faces and hurried steps.

Either they are rushing to manufacture weapons, or they are repairing city defenses, everyone is very busy.

That tall palace doesn't look very gorgeous, isn't it a golden palace in the legend?Why are there only mottled stone walls now?

Where did all that gold go?

On the contrary, the irises outside the palace are still blooming, but on the contrary, it contrasts the somewhat plain and even dilapidated palace even more deserted.

I didn't see many attendants in the palace, and there were very few maids. The guards at the door were quite energetic, but they were not like the imperial guards that Kavela imagined.

Most of the guards wore red inlaid armor, carried longbows, and carried shields, looking more practical than beautiful.

Kavela sighed with some regret—she volunteered to come to Sarleon City to send a message, but she didn't expect to see such a simple city.

At this time, Kavela was waiting outside the throne room for the summoning of Queen Amy, the Sarleon.

"Miss Cavela, His Majesty agrees to allow you to participate in the imperial meeting, please follow me."

A burly guard opened the door and waved to Kavela.

"Your Excellency Sigismund, Sir Roland asked me to send you my greetings..."

Cavela bowed.

That bodyguard is Sigismund - he is currently serving as the commander of the Sarleon city defense force.

"Ha...as long as you don't point that long knife of yours at me again...come with me and put your weapon in the rack."

Sigismund shook his head and pointed to the weapon rack in the throne room.

"I'm sorry...it was a misunderstanding at the time, I thought you were a Vanskerry pirate... After all, you were fighting side by side with that 'Doomseeker'."

Cavela glanced at Sigismund's lower body, then inserted her long knife into the weapon rack.

The long knife was very strange, with a wide blade more than a foot long and palm-width sheathed on the long pole, and a sharp sword point extended from the wide blade, the overall shape was irregular.

At the same time, there is a sharp thorn on the back of the wide-bladed knife—like an ordinary long-handled broad-bladed knife, two sharp thorns are pulled out from its two planes without fronts.

This should be regarded as a strange-shaped halberd, which can be stabbed, hacked, and stabbed like a dagger.

This is Kavela's unique weapon, which was picked up from the 'Thunder Ridge' outside Lion Lake City.

This 'Thunder Ridge' is actually the place where Li Ang disappeared. It was named by Sir Roland, who said it was to commemorate the brave Duke of Changhe Town.

But Cavela had never met Li Ang before, and she only heard some stories about him from Roland.

For example, defeating the three prophets, such as strangling the Jatu people, or triggering a thunderstorm and chaining the demon to bear the lightning strike together.

Ser Roland never lied, he said he saw it with his own eyes.

Cavela felt that a warrior who could be admired so much by a holy man like Sir Roland should indeed be a legendary hero.

However, after this legendary hero disappeared, the Sarleon Kingdom was a bit miserable.

Last August, after the disappearance of the Duke of Changhe Town was confirmed, the Kingdom of Sarleon was simultaneously declared war by several other countries.Like a piece of fat fish, everyone wants to take a bite.

By now, Sarleon City, Haringosburg, and all the lands west of Fox Town have all fallen one after another.

Right now, only the eastern region and Beibu Gulf are left in the Sarleon Kingdom.

Sir Roland established the Knights of the New Dawn in Lion Lake City, and then together with Earl Leofric set up a defense line in Fox Town, Sir Fawcett provided them with logistical support in Lion Lake City;
The Knights of the Silver Hand are at Haringosburg, and Gondor the Doomseeker is there;
Sarleon City was commanded and defended by Lord Godric, and Sigismund was appointed as the commander of the city defense force of Sarleon City, obeying Godric's command.

Everyone worked together, and finally kept the central axis of the Sarleon Kingdom, so that Sarleon City was not cut off.

Coupled with the 'support' of the Bacchus Empire, the entire country has continued to resist throughout the year, and the flames of war have not stopped for a moment.

Kavela joined Sir Roland's team in Lion Lake City last August.

At that time, Kavela came to Lion Lake City from Kurum Village in Filtzville, and she was an army cook hired by King Vidis.

But in Lion Lake City, Kavela experienced an unbearable disaster—on a thunderstorm day, she was abused by a group of Vanskerry pirates in Lion Lake City in a courtyard in the city.

A young, beautiful woman met with a bunch of drunk Vanskerry pirates, and presumably everyone could understand the abuse she would go through.

But it was not Sir Roland who had saved her, but she had saved herself.

Those Vanskerry pirates were subordinates of King Vidis, and Cavela was abused when Lion Lake City was besieged by the fallen—this was also unavoidable during the war. When you can do anything.

To be honest, Li Ang also bears some responsibility. If he hadn't led Vidis to Lion Lake City to fight against Egreme, Cavela would not have suffered such a catastrophe.

But Kavela didn't look for life like ordinary girls.

She even gave the pirates food and drink after being abused.

Until they were all drunk, she tied them all up, castrated them all, and watched them bleed to death - two of them stopped bleeding halfway, and she also added another knife in the same place .

At that time, Kavela didn't have a human-cutting knife in her hand.

Then, Vidis withdrew from Lion Lake City, and Cavela met Sir Roland's team.

At that time, Li Ang had just disappeared, and Sir Roland entered Lion Lake City to clean up the mess.

When I saw her, she was being harassed by another rogue - the pirates had torn her clothes before, and she was standing naked in the rainstorm.

She wanted the heavy rain to wash away the humiliation on her body.

But her embarrassed appearance attracted some malicious peeps...

Sir Roland drove away the scoundrels who harassed her, and expelled everyone who tried to approach, and also let all the soldiers leave, leaving her alone in the courtyard to soak in the rain, and gained her final dignity.

When she walked out of the courtyard, Sir Roland was still standing outside, with his back to the courtyard gate.

At that time, Roland said to her gently: "Ma'am, I heard about you...Maybe Goddess Astalia gave you those Vanskerrys as a test of your courage, and you It's admirable to be brave enough to get through it."

Kavela's tears fell on the spot.

Her hometown, Coolum Village, is a fishing village along the coast of Fildsway. Of course, the girls in the fishing village have no education, and most of the men there are relatively savage—this is the first time Kavela met a nobleman with a Talk to yourself in such a polite way.

Moreover, she knew that if she returned to her hometown, the men around her would point fingers at her and even do more evil things.

She also knows that from now on she will face more violence and malice, most men will no longer give herself any respect, and it will be difficult to find a real partner.

But Ser Roland still regarded her as a lady of honor, and had always been courteous.

Dignity is priceless.

Cavela has since become Sir Roland's follower.

It's just that Roland didn't want the girl to go to the battlefield and didn't accept Kavela as a soldier, so she, like Ilano, became an apprentice priest of the Goddess of Justice.

After that, Roland took Kavela to the place where Li Ang disappeared, that is, 'Thunder Ridge'.

At that time, Amy had just issued a search order of 'see people alive and corpses', and Roland also wanted to try to find any clues.

This search was a true sense of digging three feet, and the entire Thunder Ridge was almost planed.

No clues related to Leon were found, but Kavela found a long knife.

This long knife was supposed to be a very good quality broadsword, that is, a flat-headed machete with a long handle.

But when Kavela found it, its knife head had been shattered and melted together with some messy fragments—this was probably caused by the thunder, because the wooden pole was fine and looked particularly strong.

Although it was considered a broken weapon, Kavela felt it was very convenient, so she carried it on her back.

She then had a little run-in with the Doomseeker of Gondor.

Gondor actually came to help - he also wanted to find Leon.

But Cavela thinks that Gondor is also a Vanskerry pirate. She hates pirates, all pirates, and all Filtsweans!

If it wasn't for Vidis walking fast, Kavela would even poison the food and castrate all Vidis's army one by one!

As a result, Gondor was forced to fight Kavela.

What is outrageous is that Gondor is not Kavela's opponent!
To be precise, it was Gondor who didn't want to hurt people, not the opponent of the broken long knife——Gondor tried to fly Kavela's weapon, but when he hit the long knife, he threw his weapon away. Cut off!
The long knife that looked messy after being struck by lightning was surprisingly sharp.

Had it not been for Sigismund to save people in time, Gondor would have been almost castrated—in fact, Sigismund was almost castrated by Cavela because he saved people, because he also looks like Vanskerry pirate……

But fortunately, no real accident was caused, but since then Kavela has had her own name-the eunuch.

And the long knife was re-polished afterwards, and became an exclusive weapon tailored for Kavela-the human-cutting long knife.

Her long saber basically focuses on the opponent's lower three lanes... It is quite a deterrent to men. Although her martial arts are not very good, no one dares to challenge her one-on-one.

So at this time, Sigismund didn't even dare to walk in front of Kavela...

"Your Majesty, Miss Cavela has arrived."

Sigismund turned sideways and pushed open the door of the imperial meeting room.

There were only four people sitting at the round table.

Queen Amy sat in the first place, without a crown, her face was haggard, but her eyes had become extremely sharp.

On her right is Godric. Godric has a gold brooch on his chest, a brooch in the shape of a lion waving its claws-it is the 'Hand of the King', which is the Prime Minister's Order.

But the prime ministership may not have done him any favors, and in the past year he has gone from full black hair to grizzled temples.

On Amy's left is Alina. She still has the bookish look, but she no longer smiles and is a little silent.

The last one was Eric, with a thick record book in front of him.But he is not a clerk, and there is no clerk in the current imperial meeting...

Erik is now Steward of the House of Lords of the Kingdom of Sarleon—actually, Steward of Support.

"Cavila, please sit down."

Amy's voice was very indifferent, and she probably hadn't laughed for a long time: "Is Sir Roland in any trouble? Is it because the Fox Town can't stand it?"

"No, no one attacked Fox Town. Sir Roland asked me to bring this letter, which is a spoil from a heretic..."

Kavela also became serious. She took out a scroll from her arms and handed it to Godric: "At the same time, he thinks that those heretics seem to obey a little girl!"

Godric unfolded the scroll and read: "At the end of October, His Majesty Denise will personally lead the army back to Sarleon City, and be ready."

"Is it gone? Who wrote it to whom?"

Eric asked a little strangely.

"No, I don't know who wrote it to whom. But Denise is only ten years old this year, how can she lead the army?"

Godric checked the note over and over several times, and put it on the table with a puzzled face.

Denise is the youngest daughter of Ulrik, the one born to Ellen and the queen, and that child is now made king by Brennus... Of course, it is the kind that has not been recognized by the nobles.

But if Brennus captures Sarleon City, then Denise will definitely be recognized by many nobles...

The so-called orthodoxy and rebels mainly depend on who has the biggest fist.

"I did see a little girl appearing in heresy from a distance... I don't know if that is the Denise you mentioned—that's why the teacher asked me to come and tell you personally."

Kavela gestured at her chest: "It's about this tall. If you're ten years old...it should be about the same."
