Chapter 31 31: The resurrected deputy leader

Barton, who was lying on the ground, slowly opened his eyes, and what embraced him was a dim starry sky.

And a blond girl fell next to him, holding his right hand tightly, her face covered with blood.

Maybe it was because he hadn't used his brain for so long that he didn't recognize who this girl was, and he just felt that he was in trouble.

Barton had long been used to waking up under inexplicable circumstances, and he knew that he must have used his abilities again.

But he never thought that he would kill innocent people indiscriminately after using his abilities.

He nervously looked around, and after making sure there were no witnesses, he carefully opened the cold hand.

There is still some residual pain in the body, but it is still bearable.

He stood up and stretched his muscles, and when he looked around, he spotted a brown-haired boy lying in a pool of blood.

"Hey, what are these..."

He muttered a few words, and a light suddenly flashed in his mind, bringing back his sense that he had run away from home.

"I'll go, aren't these my team members?"

Barton's body trembled, and he immediately checked their breathing and found that both of them were in stable condition, at least not in danger of life.

Then, he squatted down and patted Anji, then ran to pat Sean, jumping horizontally repeatedly:

"Hey, hey, hey, wake up! Who can tell me what happened?"

At this moment, the young deputy commander noticed three hurried footsteps approaching.

He turned his head and immediately saw the young man and woman running from not far away, and the little boy holding hands behind them. The three of them were all wearing somewhat shabby clothes and looked like ordinary villagers.

As they got closer to Barton, their expressions became more and more shocked, and then grief-stricken.

But their eyes were not looking at Barton, but at his surroundings.

Barton couldn't help but tilted his head in confusion and followed their gazes.

There is only ruins.

"Why are you coming to the wilderness in the middle of the night?"

——————————————————————

As the young couple cried, Barton finally figured out the situation.

It turns out that this is not some wilderness, but the couple's home...

But this once cozy home has been completely destroyed by the fierce fighting. Only two wooden boards are left standing in the small corner where Barton woke up, with a few thatches that are sparser than the stars in the sky.

Since the farmers in Andekoffi Village live relatively scattered, he didn't see any other houses nearby for a while, which is why he said those murderous words...

Barton walked towards the aggrieved little brown-haired boy with tears and runny nose, feeling a little sorry.

"I'm sorry, I don't know the situation! Little brother, don't cry yet. Although this house is a bit broken now, I can still lie down for a while..."

Just as he was speaking to comfort the other party, the last two wooden walls collapsed, raising a large amount of dust.

This embarrassing scene completely interrupted Barton's rhythm.

He couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth and looked nervously at the tearful boy next to him.

The boy standing on the ruins of his house finally couldn't hold it back and burst into tears with a loud "Wow"——

In the end, Barton couldn't figure out the whole story because the Lockes didn't know what happened.

They fled to the nearby woods at the beginning of the battle, and they didn't dare to come back to take a look until the place gradually became quieter.

Although Barton's memory was fixed on the moment before his transformation, looking at the two team members lying on the ground and the headless male corpse not far away, he could basically confirm that these were good deeds by his family.

As the deputy leader, he could only persuade the three villagers with good words and make a verbal promise that he would compensate them well. Then he carried Anji with one hand and Sean with the other, and also took away the girl beside Anji.

Grabbing a sword, he walked towards the nearest house with Locke leading the way.

After being able to see the cabin from a distance, Locke hurriedly said goodbye to Barton, saying that he wanted to go back and settle down his wife and children first.

Although Barton didn't want to disturb the residents' rest, in order to let the injured members get a better rest, he had no choice but to knock on the door.

An old coughing sound came from inside the house. After a long time, the door was slowly opened a crack.

The moment he saw this late-night visitor, many complicated expressions appeared on the face of Havok Village Chief.

There are at least 50% shock, 30% guilty conscience and 20% displeasure.

But in Barton's view, there was only shock.

"I'm sorry, old gentleman, to disturb you! Can I borrow your house? My teammates and I are all injured and need a place to sleep."

The silly young deputy leader was still explaining to him enthusiastically, but little did he know that Havok's heart was already in turmoil.

What's going on? Why did this seriously injured leader wake up?

Why did the two knights who originally led him fall down again?

Is it popular for Slade's Cavaliers to switch shifts like this?

These unimportant thoughts just passed by for a moment, but the most important point is: has the secret dealings with the Commorra Territory been exposed?

The old village chief couldn't help but sweat, but he still put on a kind and kind smile on his face and agreed to Barton's request to stay overnight.

Barton happily thanked Havok, walked to the corner of the room, and placed the two men carrying them on his shoulders with a chuckle.

"Grandpa, why do you live alone?"

The village chief's face trembled slightly and he replied respectfully:

"Sir Knight, I often make strange noises at night when I have nightmares, and I am afraid of disturbing others, so I have always lived alone."

Seeing the old man's weathered face full of exhaustion, Barton was too embarrassed to ask any more questions.

But he had slept for a long enough time. He had nowhere to release his energy and couldn't sleep at all. He could only stay with his two unconscious teammates until dawn...

When Anji woke up, it was already noon on the third day.

Her whole body ached and she had a splitting headache. She struggled to sit up and realized that this was no longer Locke's house. Then she remembered that the wooden house she had originally stayed in had been turned into ruins.

There was a person sitting next to him who should have been lying down.

"Oh! Our youngest member finally wakes up!"

Patton's enthusiastic voice proved that he had fully recovered.

But while Anji was happy, she was also a little unhappy.

Now it's like the tide has turned, it's like I'm lying on the ground instead of Barton...

She couldn't help but cover her head, which was swollen with pain, and sighed:

"Barton, where is Sean? Where has he gone?"

"He woke up earlier than you! Hey, you don't know. As soon as I woke up the night before yesterday, I saw you two lying on the ground. It really scared me..."

His unusual excitement made Anji scream inwardly. This guy has been holding it in for a long time and is worried that no one will chat with him!

Sean must have gone out to seek refuge.

Fortunately, Anji was used to getting down to business when her body was a little sore. She explained what happened last night in a concise and concise manner, and highlighted the most important points:

Andekofi Village has a secret relationship with the Comoran Territory and has a rebellious spirit. The Comoran Territory's spies have also been killed by her, but there are still Comoran Territory troops about three kilometers away from here.

, we don’t know when we will launch an attack.

And, they also have an ace called the "Inverted Knight".

At first, Barton could still scratch his head from time to time and occasionally interrupt her speech to make a few witty remarks. Apparently he didn't take this matter seriously.

But later, his face gradually darkened, and when he heard the term "reverse knight", he actually cursed out loud.

"XXX, what a bullshit reverse knight, it must be Hardfer."

"Hadever?" Angie repeated the unfamiliar name.

"Yes, Hardover Basker." Barton became rarely serious, "Angie, you must not mention this person in front of Lord Slade - he will die miserably."

(Although I also revised the article until early in the morning, I am not qualified to say this...)

So sleepy but can't sleep

The two chapters posted yesterday totaled 6,000 words, which basically drained me dry. The donkeys in the production team were also a little overwhelmed...

But I didn’t save enough manuscripts, and even when I took a break, I felt guilty_(:з」∠)_

Damn it, keep typing
Chapter completed!
