247. The Cross on the Mountain

Suldak hitched an old horse to the carriage and turned the direction of the carriage on the mountain road.

Miss Hoyle's eye sockets were bruised and the left side of her face was swollen, making her originally youthful face look very embarrassed. She was wrapped in a rough woolen blanket and sat on a mat next to the mountain path.

This leather cushion should belong to the coachman, and it was still stained with bits of blood. She was immersed in sadness a moment ago, but now she couldn't believe her ears. The knight in front of her actually asked her if she could

Driving the carriage, she was a noble lady from Hoyle Manor. She stared at the young knight who was busy all the time with wide eyes.

His body was spattered with blood, and the scabbard of the Roman sword on his waist was almost soaked with blood. He placed all the corpses of the robbers side by side on the stone ground by the roadside. There were rocks everywhere, and it was difficult to dig a big hole.

, unable to bury the corpses of these robbers on the spot.

Twenty-three horses were also gathered together by Surdak. These horses looked very honest. Surdak tied all the reins together and prepared to take these horses back to Wall Village.

Suldak found a piece of black bread and a piece of dark meat jerky from the robber's bag, and sent them to Miss Hoyle along with a leather water bag. He said to her: "If you can drive a carriage, you can drive along the road."

If we keep walking back along this mountain road, we will probably be able to return to Halanza City before it gets dark at night."

Miss Hoyle looked at Suldak helplessly, with a hint of pleading in her eyes.

There was no expression on Suldak's face, he just handed over the water bag in his hand again.

She silently reached out and took the water bag, but did not drink the water. Instead, she soaked a rag with water, wiped her face carefully, and then took a sip. She was used to drinking in the manor.

Freshly squeezed juice, milk and tea, this kind of raw water with a strong leather smell, Miss Hoyle would not use to wash her face in normal times.

Surdak scratched his head helplessly and said to Miss Hoyle: "After arriving in Hiranza City, you can tell your tragic experience to the Supreme Archon of Hiranza City. I believe he can give you some advice.

Some justice."

He sat on the floor, stuffed the dried meat in his hand into his mouth, and continued:

"And I can't take you out of here right away."

Then he pointed at the corpses of the robbers on the roadside.

"You may have seen that there are so many things waiting for me to deal with here. I can't just dump the corpses of these robbers on the roadside. Otherwise, in this weather, these corpses will soon rot. I need to deal with these corpses.

, and also hope to use this to warn other thieves groups around Helensa City."

Disposing of the corpses of these bandits was only one aspect. In addition, Surdak did not want to take these horses to the city of Hiranza, otherwise he would suffer a huge loss if they were confiscated by the guard camp.

These horses are currently regarded as his trophies, but if they are brought to the city of Hiranza, the guard battalions will detain these horses on the pretext of investigating the bandit group, and he will have no place to reason.

In the Green Empire, horses are very valuable livestock, especially war horses that can go on the battlefield. Sometimes one horse can even be exchanged for five cows.

Suldak thought about it seriously and felt that it was indeed a bit difficult for him to let a noble lady who had been persecuted by bandits drive the carriage back to the city of Helensa alone under such circumstances, so he asked Hoy again.

Miss Er said: "If you can't drive back to Hellanza City alone, ask me to wait until I finish the things at hand, and then I will take you back to Hellanza City. You may have to stay in the village for one night.

You won’t be able to return to Halanza City until at least tomorrow!”

"Can't you just send me back to Hellanza City now?" Miss Hoyle felt that she was already so pitiful. If the knight in front of her had even a little bit of sympathy, she should send her back to Hellanza City.

, if you are the kind of knight with a strong sense of responsibility and mission, maybe you should help yourself complete your revenge, then rebuild your home, and finally impress yourself and marry him.

However, the knight in front of her didn't seem to have such thoughts at all. Miss Hoyle hinted to Suldak: "Mr. Knight, I will give you some generous rewards. I want to go home as soon as possible."

Suldak shook his head with an extremely serious expression.

"Okay, I can try!" Miss Hoyle looked at the long whip on the carriage and said with great trepidation.

Miss Hoyle sat in the carriage and looked at the endless mountain road. She wanted to just sit in the carriage and cry.

The old horse didn't even wait for her to wave the whip, and then slowly pulled the carriage towards the city of Helensa. The carriage driver was wrapped around like a mummy and lay unconscious on the carriage.

I originally thought that after being rescued, all the disasters would be over, but now, Miss Hoyle feels that her bumpy life in the future may have just begun.

Seeing the carriage slowly driving towards Helensa City, Surdak breathed a sigh of relief.

Of course, the most important thing for the perfect ending of a battle was to lick the bags. The corpses of the twenty-three bandits were rummaged inside and out, and even the leather armor on their bodies was taken off, and all their weapons were piled on top of the pile.

Together, most of these bandits are wearing dark red scimitars, and only the bandit leader with level 1 strength can afford the punishment hammer.

For Surdak, the only value of these weapons is to sell them on the black market. However, the silver-handled daggers and bows carried by the thieves have some value. These daggers are ordinary in style and can be bought in any weapons store.

, although they are not brand new, Suldak thinks they can be given to the villagers. The Wall Village Lizard Group needs a few well-made bows. As for daggers, who doesn’t bring a dagger when they go out to fight?

What surprised Surdak was that he found a magic belt bag from the bandit leader's waist. This magic belt bag was almost filled with gems, jewelry, gold and silver coins. In addition, there were some commonly used life magic scrolls and three bottles of emerald green detoxification.

Potion.

These robbers are so rich

Suldak suddenly thought of what Karl said last night that this group of bandits had just looted three noble manors on the outskirts of Helensa City. It seemed to be true!

Then he found some strong canvas bags on the horses. He stuffed all the dried meat, nuts, pancakes and fried noodles into two canvas bags. He left the other canvas bags empty and put the iron parts in the two large wooden boxes.

They were packed into categories, and all the slats of the wooden box were taken apart and nailed into more than 20 wooden crosses.

Surdak drove twenty-two horses alone to transport the corpses of the robbers to the mountains next to the wasteland pass.

He nailed the wooden cross into the stone crevices on the top of the mountain, and tied all the corpses of the twenty-three robbers to the cross. The head of the robber leader was chopped off by Suldak, and the top of the wooden cross was sharpened, and the head of the robber leader was cut off.

The head was stuck on top and by the time I finished all this, the sun was almost setting.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the corpses of these robbers, and a carrion bird hovered in the sky, never willing to fall.

The corpses of the twenty-three robbers stood alone on the deserted ridge until night fell.
