The sun is about to set in the west, and the sky is filled with burning clouds and rolling clouds. The golden light casts down everything in the sky with the orange color of ripe wheat ears.
Downton galloped down the long street riding a unicorn. The pure white rare mount almost blinded the eyes of the townspeople. They stopped what they were doing and stared at Downton's back in stunned silence.
"Did I read that correctly? Isn't that Downton? It's just a little postman. Since when has there been a unicorn?"
"That was a few months ago. Downton is now the chief engineer of the Dagger Mine. Even the Sheriff has contradicted him in public."
"Even a postman can't afford a unicorn? No, even if you have money, you can't buy such a rare mount!"
The townspeople were talking a lot, and the atmosphere was full of gossip, but after one person yelled, everyone came back to their senses.
"Tyson didn't specify that he wanted his life, so why did he have the guts to come back?"
"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and notify the sheriff and the mayor, hand him over, maybe the town will be saved."
The townspeople had already taken action, and a few security guards who had seen Downton followed quietly.
"What a sight of the undead, that boy is back!" Old Grandet was loading Xinrou into the carriage. When he saw Downton speeding past, he immediately cursed.
Stopping in front of the Wolf and Spice grocery store, Downton got off his horse, rushed to the closed store door, and slammed the door hard, "Charlotte, are you there?"
"What are you waiting for? Let's just brute force it!" Homer hated wasting time, and he felt a strong sense of hostility, and several eyes were staring at him.
Downton was about to kick the door open when Charlotte's voice rang out, "Downton? Is it you? What happened?"
Charlotte, still wearing a cloak, opened the store door, her hood covering her face, only revealing her white chin. At this time, she stretched out her hand to cover her mouth and nose, and yawned.
"Tyson is going to attack Morning Mist Town, did you know?" Downton didn't know how to say it. Let a girl go with a man who has nothing to do with him? Unless he has lost his mind.
"I know." Xia Luo smiled, her tone still so calm and gentle, "It's too late today. I'm going to run away tomorrow."
"Let's go now!" Downton's heartbeat was racing. He was too shy and couldn't say the words "I'll escort you" out of his mouth.
"Oh, why are you back? Tyson's messenger shouted at the entrance of the town, saying that as long as you hand over your head, they will retreat. You are in a very dangerous situation now. Run away!" Xia Luo stretched out her hand to push Tang.
Pause. It's a pity that the latter, like a tall and tall green pine, did not move a step.
Downton scratched his hair in annoyance, not knowing what to say. If it weren't for Charlotte, he wouldn't have come back at all.
"Hurry up! Hurry up! Downton is going to the grocery store. Don't let him get away."
There were heavy footsteps on the street and even the sound of armor clashing. It was the security team arriving.
"Leave now. I'll explain to you later!" Downton became angry, grabbed Charlotte's hand, and ran towards the street.
Xian Lang's hand was soft and his skin was smooth. This was the first time Downton took the initiative to hold the girl's hand. His heart was beating uncontrollably, his cheeks felt hot, and his head was a little confused.
Homer did not remind Downton that this was also experience. Only with more experience can one adapt.
After all, Downton was unable to leave. Two hundred-strong security teams blocked the long street and blocked his way.
"Downton, give up your weapons and surrender. Otherwise, don't blame us for being ruthless!"
The security captain roared, asking all his subordinates to hold knives in their hands and be ready to charge at any time.
"What crime have I committed? Why do you arrest me?" Downton blocked Charlotte behind him.
Some townspeople watched from a distance and kept pointing.
"You know what you're asking. This is what the Sheriff and the Mayor mean." The captain was very impatient. "If you don't want to die, surrender quickly. These crossbows don't have eyesight."
During the pause in the conversation, the security team hurriedly arrived. In addition to spears and sabers, there were hundreds of longbows pointed at Downton, with bright arrows.
"Homer, unleash your hatred!"
Downton hesitated whether to force his way in. If that were the case, it would be a fight to the death. Even if Dofunk was the backstage, he would not be able to stay in Morning Mist Town in the future. He might even be wanted.
Led by Quasimodo, fifty abominations walked out of the war space, like iron gates, blocking Downton to prevent him from being sniped.
Wow!
The security guards retreated in unison, creating a commotion. These big men were really too visually oppressive.
"These undead warriors are not bad!" Xia Luo joked, not showing any panic at all because of being surrounded.
"Downton, do you want to rebel?" The sheriff and the mayor arrived on horseback, and were greeted by a roar.
"It was you who blocked my way first." Downton snorted coldly.
"You, a civilian, have private armed forces. This is transgression and rebellion. According to the law, I can kill you on the spot." The Sheriff changed the subject.
"You are blind, this is my demon servant."
Being scolded by a civilian in public made the Sheriff so angry that he almost burst into tears. No one had ever dared to scold him like this.
"Keep an eye on that woman." Mayor Franz was overjoyed. It seems that this cloaked woman is Downton's weakness, so as long as he catches her, this kid will definitely be slaughtered by his side.
"Sorry for putting you in danger." Downton was depressed. He did not expect that the two most powerful men in Morning Mist Town would personally deal with him.
"It's my fault!" Charlotte shook her head, and then sighed. She was quite smart, and after a brief thought, she roughly guessed Downton's intention.
"Don't worry, I will definitely protect you, even if it kills you like a river of blood!" Downton pulled out the black dragon wings and thought quickly. He really didn't want to break up until the last moment.
"Escape for your own life!" Looking at the broad back in front of her, Xia Luo didn't understand why this young man fell in love with her when he had never even seen her own appearance.
"Downton, more than 10,000 residents of Morning Mist Town are in danger because of you. Do you plan to slap people on the butt and throw your fellow villagers to the butcher's knife of the gangsters?"
Franz had a few brushes, and he immediately put Downton on the opposite side of the masses.
"The gangsters are going to attack Chenwu Town, what does it have to do with me?" Downton sneered.
"What's the relationship? You killed Tyson's brother, you killed the lone wolf Romario, you killed the wild boar Davis, and you captured the ogre Johnson alive. If your behavior hadn't angered them, the robbers wouldn't have
Form a coalition to attack Chenwu Town!" the mayor scolded righteously.
Wow!
The whole place was in an uproar. Except for the mayor and the sheriff, the townspeople and soldiers below didn't know what Downton had done. They were all shocked when they heard these words.
Downton was just a boy who was about to turn sixteen, but he actually killed so many gangsters? Is this possible? But the mayor obviously would not tell lies.
"It's all because of you that the town is in crisis. Why do you have the face to walk away?" the mayor continued to press.
"Yes, stay!"
"Give him to Tyson in exchange for the safety of Chenwu Town!"
The townspeople were incited and began to criticize Downton,
"It's okay for you to kill bandits. But don't involve us, you broomstick!"
"Hang him!"
Before they were robbed, the townspeople did not think that the gangsters were any danger at all. They were just the bounties in front of the tavern and the topic after dinner. Only the townspeople who suffered deeply from them understood that Downton had brought several benefits to the border.
A big harm.
The townspeople who had seen the lone wolf and the wild boar slaughter the village and survived by chance sighed, Downton did the right thing, why would he be complained about? Those cruel and greedy thugs would not stop just because Downton was handed over.
The pace of plunder.
"Get out of the way, or don't blame me for being rude."
The attitude of the townspeople made Downton's last bit of tolerance disappear. He roared angrily and was ready to kill.
The security guards immediately became nervous and their heads were covered with sweat.
"Mom, shouldn't the robbers be killed? Why does everyone scold Brother Downton?"
A five-year-old boy held his mother's hand with confusion on his face.
"Don't talk nonsense." The mother covered her son's mouth.
"You're welcome? Why are you going to be so rude?" the mayor sneered, "Look behind you!"
Densely packed soldiers ran over in neat steps. They wore helmets and armor, were fully armed, and the weapons in their hands were sharp.
Because of Tyson's threat, the mayor quickly asked for help. After all, Chenwu Town is the most important town in the Western Region. So the three nearest garrison troops arrived, and the others were on their way to support.
"Hey, even the army was dispatched for me!" Downton said disdainfully, "Do you think this small number of troops can stop me?"
"Who do you think you are? Are you Heinrich, the god of unbreakable warfare? Or Tanan, the barbarian king who killed thousands of people?" The mayor wanted to laugh, but he closed his mouth the next second, because the war space was opened again, and Hutao
, Celes, and Jackson came out with the ghouls.
"Are there any troops left?"
"What are these?"
Looking at the green eyes under the ghouls' helmets, the humans who saw them for the first time began to become nervous and panicked.
"Homer!" Downton frowned, his tone reproachful.
"This is a small scene, there is no danger." Homer explained, "You can't protect them for a lifetime. From now on, accept the baptism of war!"
There was a commotion in the formation of the security team, and even the soldiers who arrived were confused.
"What is the origin of this guy? Why are private armed forces so powerful?"
"Look at those armors. They are actually the same style of standard weapons. They are better than what we wear!"
The soldiers all made a small calculation. If they wanted to kill an enemy, they would have to pay double the casualties.
"Downton, I'll give you one last chance!" the Sheriff roared. If he couldn't win Downton today, he and Franz would be completely embarrassed, and they wouldn't be able to raise their heads in Morning Mist Town in the future.
Downton's answer was simple, release Sherman and fight the bear.
"I'm offended, I will apologize in the future." Downton apologized in a low voice, then hugged Xia Luo's waist and jumped on the war bear.
"All demon servants, prepare to charge!"
Amid Downton's roar, the abominations formed an attack formation and prepared to fight! (To be continued...)
