Chapter 286 You Are Kish
In Mont-de-Marsan, people gathered in taverns and restaurants to chat as usual, except that the gossip had changed to the fact that John led his troops south to fight the Lana people.
"Ten thousand against fifty thousand, and it's a siege war. Who dares to fight this kind of war? Governor John broke through the border mountains in one night."
"If you ask me, they have to have the experience. Look at that nobleman like Hoss who spends all day in Windham leading the defense. Can he fight? No. Two hundred thousand against one hundred thousand Lana, and it's a defensive battle. With such a big advantage, they actually suffered a great defeat. Is he sending military merits to the Lana people?"
"Governor John has won the battle. When he returns to Wendam, the king may give him a high position."
"Hey, for a noble like John who has all the soldiers and all the land, official positions are of no use. I see, there are several territories occupied by the Yoda people on the border. If we give the claims of those territories to Governor John, I estimate that within a year, they will be able to take back all the lost territories."
In the restaurant of the noble district, the nobles were discussing John's victory. Compared with tactics, the nobles who were in the rear were thinking about how to gain benefits from this matter. After all, their sons were still in the noble education team and were in a semi-exile state. If they could get some military merits, whether they joined the Midland standing army or became officials, at least they would not be without merit.
"Hurry! Follow me!"
Just then there was a noise outside the restaurant. Through the window, the nobles saw a large number of wartime patrol members running on the street, as if they were chasing some wanted criminals.
At this time, Jacques on the street was leading a large group of people to the hiding place he learned from the spy. He did not expect that this sage was so bold that he actually lived directly in the aristocratic district, about two kilometers away from John's embassy.
The crowd quickly arrived at the outskirts of an apartment and surrounded it.
“It’s here!”
Jacques said to the spy, pointing at the apartment.
"Yes, this is where we are staying in Mont-de-Marsan."
After getting the spy's confirmation, Jacques immediately ordered people to climb over the wall and open the garden gate from the inside, and then ordered people to chop open the main door of the apartment with an axe.
The patrolmen who broke open the door began to search the rooms one by one, but the entire apartment was empty at that time. Jacques searched for a long time but only found a wrinkled wanted poster for Kish Bella in the drawer.
"It really looks like him. I didn't expect this old man to come back again."
At this time, a team member reported:
"Sir, we have searched all the rooms, and there is no one here."
"This is bad luck."
Jacques regretted that if he let this murderer run away, no one knew when he would come out to hurt people again. But he didn't know where to find him at this time. If he wasted too much time, he might leave the country.
Just as Jacques ordered his men to search the city gates, the team member found Jacques with a soldier.
"According to the intelligence received by Lord John, Kish Bella may be currently in a hiding place near the western outskirts of Mondemarsan. John orders you to capture him immediately or execute him on the spot."
After hearing this exciting news, although Jacques was hesitant about the information, he immediately led all his men out of the city and headed towards the destination given by the intelligence.
In the border mountains, looking at the movement route of Jacques' troops on the system map and Kishbela who was still standing still, John felt that this system map was quite useful.
At this time, all the important fortresses in the border mountains have been occupied. The remaining Lana soldiers have either been captured or fled south. It is expected that they will be completely under control within a week.
John decided to stop while he was ahead and ordered his troops to advance to the village on the southern foot of the mountain range at most. At the same time, he sent people to transfer Pav, who was still working in Mont-de-Marsan, to repair the damaged fortress.
"grown ups."
A White Wolf Knight reported:
"Five miles south of the mountain range, there is a gathering of Lana troops, estimated to number over ten thousand."
"Continue investigating, and report to me if there is any sign of trouble."
John commanded as he looked at the setting sun in the distance.
That evening, Jacques and more than 300 members arrived at the destination. Looking at the endless dark forest in front of them, one of the members suggested to Jacques:
"Captain, the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light. It is easy to suffer a loss if we fight like this. Why don't we wait until daybreak?"
Jacques turned around and immediately blamed:
"Lord John's order is immediate! Those of you who don't want to go in will stand guard outside. Those who are willing to follow me in will each be given ten gold coins after the task is completed."
Even with the gold coin reward, there were only a little over a hundred team members who followed Jacques into the woods. In order to avoid being discovered, they did not have any lighting along the way and had to walk through the woods in the dark.
After walking for half an hour, Jacques, who was tired, felt the light ahead through his eyes that were about to close. He immediately pulled himself together and whispered to the people behind him:
"There is light ahead, get ready for battle."
Soon Jacques led a few people to sneak up, and saw a clearing in the forest. There was a stone house in the middle of the clearing, and two armed men were guarding the door.
But what Jacques was concerned about at this time was that the door of the house was open. Jacques also estimated the height of the house and how many people it could accommodate, and finally came up with a prediction of about fifty people.
Thinking of this, Jacques went back and after explaining the attack plan for a while, he led all the people to the junction of the forest and the open space.
Looking at the two armed men at the door, Jacques waved his hand, and more than a dozen crossbowmen split into two groups, pointing at the two men opposite. As Jacques raised his hand and clenched his fist, the crossbowmen pulled the trigger one after another, and more than a dozen arrows shot out from the forest, directly hitting the two men into sieves.
"Rush in now and catch Kishbella!"
When Jacques saw that the door had been cleared, he immediately led his men out of the forest, and more than a hundred team members behind him also rushed into the house.
When he entered the house through the door, he found that the house only had a hall similar to a church, and standing on the stage was a familiar face.
Seeing Jacques and the people behind him rushing in, the hall was in chaos. Even Kishbela on the stage was stunned. He had obviously chosen such a hidden place, but he was still discovered by them.
Jacques looked at the wanted poster, then showed it and said:
"Kishbela, nicknamed the Sage, committed dozens of murders in his early years, and now provides intelligence to the Lana people..."
At this point, Jacques couldn't help but look at Kish and asked directly:
"Just you."
At this time, whether out of fear or ignorance, Kisbela could only reply tremblingly:
"Yes...it's me."
Seeing this, Jacques tilted his head and asked:
"You killed so many innocent people, and you still have the nerve to come back?"
I thought Kish would remain silent, but when he heard what Kish said next, Jacques was completely furious. Kish slowly said:
"A natural disaster, a famine, each time tens of thousands of people died before they would stop. Have you ever hated the sky? Have you ever hated the earth? I have only killed dozens of people. Fellow believers of the Lord, please forgive me."
Jacques was completely amused by this fallacy, and when he finished laughing he said:
"You are really hopeless. I don't want to say any more to you. Lord John said that as long as we confirm that you are dead, it will be fine. Crossbowmen, get ready!"
A row of crossbowmen came in front of Jacques and raised their crossbows to aim at the Kish people in front.
"put!"
With Jacques' order, dozens of arrows were shot directly forward, and Kish was hit in the chest by an arrow. He slowly fell down after spitting blood, and his men were also killed one by one.
Seeing that the villain was dead, Jacques ordered his team members:
"Clean up the scene and carry out all the bodies. We have to report to Lord John tomorrow." Then he left the house without looking back.
However, at a moment when no one noticed, after being shot down again, Kish on the stage took out a black stone with facial features from his pocket. His blood had already come into contact with the stone, and slowly, the facial features on the stone began to reorganize...
In the fortress in the border mountains, John, who was looking at the system map at night, suddenly found that something was wrong. In the place where Jacques was capturing Kish, the original figure of Kish was gradually replaced by a humanoid creature that looked like an undead.
