Chapter 244 243. Blood Night
In the manor in the Hoyle territory on the western outskirts of Hailansa City, a killing is going on.
Taylor, the leader of the blood-red bandit group, stood outside the gate of Hoyle Manor, and kicked open the crumbling black painted iron gate. The cast-iron badge of the Hoyle family on the railing of the iron gate was stepped into the mud by Taylor. With two short javelins on his back and only a set of petrified lizard leather armor, his chest was open, revealing strong muscles like steel. His eyes were cold and disgusted, and he said coldly to the twenty or so subordinates around him: " kill in..."
Twenty or so ferocious robbers stepped over the corpses of the eight knight servants, and rushed into the manor with **** scimitars.
Suddenly, the whole manor let out a miserable howl...
Humble cries for help, desperate cries, hoarse curses, and hysterical screams made this originally extremely quiet and cool summer night become as terrifying as a burning hell.
Baron Hoyle had a poisonous crossbow stuck in his left leg, blood stained his trouser leg, and his swollen thigh could not be bent. He seemed to be dragging a stump down the steps of the castle. He held a handful of silver in his hand. The sword was stained with blood, and the corpses of four robbers lay on the steps. His hand holding the sword trembled slightly. He was now at the end of his battle.
The bandit leader standing at the bottom of the steps is holding a hammer of punishment, step by step up the **** white marble steps, there is a hideous scar on his face, extending from his forehead to his chest, and the end is on the right side The abdomen was deep into the groin. If he hadn't opened the hard leather jacket, it would be difficult to see the complete scar.
Baron Hoyle slashed at the bandit leader Taylor with his sword. The sword was blocked by the Hammer of Punishment. Baron Hoyle stared at the bandit leader coldly and asked, "Who are you?"
Taylor did not answer, with a smirk on his face, and when he locked the silver long sword tightly with the barb of the Hammer of Punishment, he punched Baron Hoyle to the ground.
As Baron Hoyle's body fell heavily to the ground, Taylor stepped on Baron Hoyle's back, grabbed his hair, and forced his head up.
A robber sent a portrait to Hoyle, and asked viciously: "If you want to die quickly, tell the boss quickly, where did you hide this woman?"
Baron Hoyle didn't even look at the portrait, and grunted, "I don't know!"
The bandits didn't even give Baron Hoyle any chance to change their words, and chopped off with a machete...
"Poof..."
Baron Hoyle was decapitated and fell into a pool of blood. The eyes on his head were open looking into the deep night sky.
A group of servants and maidservants who were **** in the square below the steps of the castle suddenly wailed in horror. The kneeling bodies of the servants in the manor shivered in the night wind. A robber pulled out a man in a suit from the crowd. The butler in the uniform pulled him into the pool of blood where Baron Hoyle fell, and asked the butler with a portrait:
"Have you seen this woman?"
The bandit's blood-red eyes were playful, and he seemed to be looking forward to how he would resist next. The machete in his hand was still dripping blood. At this time, he couldn't help but put the machete on Baron Hoyle's chest. The corpse was wiped, but unfortunately the blood on the blade could not be wiped clean.
It's a pity that the butler was not as strong-willed as the robber thought. The moment the butler saw the head of Baron Hoyle, his whole body was limp on the ground like a pool of mud, and a smell of urine came out from under his crotch, and the urine was diluted blood on the ground...
His eyes were full of pleading, and he said to the robber leader: "I know her, she used to be Miss Hoyle's maid, and we all called her Selina."
Taylor didn't expect such an answer. He regretted killing Baron Hoyle so hastily. He thought it would be the same as attacking other manors, and he couldn't get any answer. After all, it was a portrait a few years ago. It was the appearance in that person's memory again. After the painter's description, there would be great deviations. If he took the portrait to find someone, if it weren't for the weird methods of those old stubborn people, Taylor would like to tear up the portrait and loot a few casually. A manor can handle it.
But I didn't expect to ransack the manor around the city of Hailansa, and I happened to meet him. This old housekeeper actually knew the woman in the portrait.
Taylor felt that she must be blessed by the goddess Celine. His eyes were as wide as copper bells. He grabbed the butler's collar with his hands, lifted him from the pool of blood, and asked the butler viciously, "Where is she now?"
The butler looked confused, trying to remember, and said intermittently: "A few years ago... when she was 25 years old...according to the law of the empire... Baron Hoyle chose a husband for him, and she married him. At that time It was Baron Hoyle who presided over the wedding, and also performed Hoyle's first night right."
The blue veins on Taylor's forehead bulged slightly, but he let go of the butler's hand, allowing him to stand up straight and asked, "Then who did she marry?"
The door in the housekeeper's memory seemed to be pushed away at once, and after thinking for a while, he said, "It was a gardener here who married Selina, and the couple returned to their hometown not long after."
After finishing speaking, he secretly glanced at the crowd.
"Are you kidding me?" Taylor said angrily.
The butler finally calmed down, stood in front of Taylor and worked hard to weave his own words:
"I swear...I'm not lying. The reason they went home was probably because Baron Hoyle exercised the right of the first night, which made the little gardener very dissatisfied. They left overnight. The little gardener didn't even receive his half-year salary, Hoyle The baron seemed to have looked for them afterwards, but for some reason, the matter was left alone in the end."
A robber walked through the hall from the back of the castle at this time, ran up to Taylor, and whispered something to him.
The robber leader Taylor's eyes lit up, and he ordered to the robber: "Go and invite Miss Hoyle..."
The butler and the two ladies kneeling in the crowd raised their heads in despair when they heard Taylor say this, and looked at the robbers.
Before Hoyle Manor was captured, the baron ordered two of the most reliable knights around him to take his daughter and son to flee to Hailansa City from the path behind the manor, and asked them to deliver a letter to the guard camp of Hailansa City .
When the bandit leader said this, it was obvious that the knight servants who secretly ran to deliver the letter were also caught by these bandits.
Not long after, Miss Hoyle, whose dress was torn into tatters, was escorted up by the robbers. Her face was pale and bloodless, and there was a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth, and the exposed white greasy skin was blue and purple. I don't know what kind of humiliation I have experienced. At this time, when I was brought to the gate of the castle, I saw Baron Hoyle, who was decapitated, and saw a group of family members and servants prostrate on the ground. Miss Hoyle's heart The last hope was all dashed.
The defense line in her heart completely collapsed, and she threw herself on the body of Baron Hoyle with a sad face, crying loudly.
Ha, I fell asleep last night, and when I woke up, I found that the sky was getting cold, sorry for missing an update
