Chapter 356 – Abduction 5. Until the Day My Life Ends.
Three figures appearing in Humbert, the Middle City of the East.
At first glance, they look like ordinary mercenaries, but in fact, they are a heresy tracking team that specializes in tracking heresy.
After collecting clues and evidence here and there, the pursuers finally made it to Humbert, east of here.
The reason for starting this pursuit is the disappearance of many children in the eastern city.
Hearing those rumors, the leader of the Heresy Tracking Corps, Louis, couldn’t stay still. So he stopped what he was doing for a while and immediately ran to the east.
“Be careful. This is probably where you saw it. There are so many watching eyes, and it will be dangerous.”
Rui, the leader of the chase, warned his men and entered the city.
In fact, the middle city Humbert was not much different from other cities in the East. However, there have been vicious rumors about Humbert’s castle lord, Baron Navori, circulating in the city lately.
A year ago, the former baron died, and the current baron, who inherited the position, had been a talkative person before. Including extravagance and pleasure, women’s pilgrimages were considerable, and they even believed in suspicious superstitions. … In fact, there were many questions about the death of the former baron, but his death was covered up because the eldest son had already become a baron.
And Baron Navori used his power to practice tyranny.
In particular, the most absurd thing was that all chickens were to be removed from the city, saying that they were noisy every morning. Thus, the number of chickens killed in the city in one week approached 10,000. Almost all chickens in the city were exterminated.
In addition to that, gold was not only collected at a low price, but also demanded excessive taxation from citizens by creating new taxes in all kinds of names.
Thus, within a year, public sentiment fell into the abyss, and the lives of citizens became impoverished. Everyone cursed and cursed Baron Navori behind his back.
“… Maybe that’s what he was aiming for. Insults and curses towards the baron, all those negative emotions.”
Ordinary people don’t know, but Louis, the leader of the huntsman who hated heretics and devils for a long time, researched them deeply and pursued them tenaciously, smelled something suspicious here.
In particular, the most suspicious thing is that the chicken was removed. Among the numerous demons, the demon Erbabus has the characteristic of being afraid of chickens. In addition, he especially preferred the body of a young child. … So, from Louis’ point of view, he couldn’t help but suspect that there might be some relationship between the heretical Erbabus faction and Baron Nabori.
It may feel strange when people change suddenly, but Baron Nabori was a wild man who loved superstition and was violent and extravagant from his youth. So there is no better prey for Ethan than this. Even if you act moderately, you don’t get much suspicion.
“The first thing is to find the missing children. Their lives matter most. Understand?”
“Yes, I understand.”
The captain of the chase, Louie, did not forget Uncle John’s sacrifice of saving himself and his younger brother by giving his life when he was young. And inheriting that spirit, he became the leader of the tracking team that pursued heresy.
For the poor people of this land, and for the innocent children—-.
Using the information gathered like that, I figured out that a lot of suspicious wagons went into a warehouse in the inner castle at night. The fact that the outer and inner gates were opened at night, which would not have been opened without the order of the lord of the castle, must mean that the carriage was related to the lord of the castle.
So, after three days and three nights, they hid and waited near the North Gate, where carriages often came and went, and finally faced the suspicious group of carriages. They lightly tossed the drunkard in the middle of the boulevard and waited for the carriages to stop. The moment the wagon stopped for a while to get rid of the drunkard, the chase team went under the wagon in an instant. They jammed hooks into the underside of the wagon and hung on. And the wagon immediately departs again.
After a while, a group of wagons passed through the inner gate and entered a suspicious warehouse according to the information they had gathered.
The chasing party got off the moment the wagon stopped for a moment in the warehouse and hid in the dark. And I saw the children get off the wagon and go deeper underground.
Damn kids… !
Captain Louie was enraged at the heretic’s wicked act of sacrificing innocent children, but he tried hard not to be captured by his emotions. The most important thing right now is not revenge, but the safety of the children.
“Escape won’t be easy. … It will be very dangerous.”
“It’s okay. I will be with you until the end.”
The two men and women in their early twenties looked intently at the captain, Louis, without hesitation. They, too, lost their entire family due to heresy and became orphans. They thought that the tragedies they had gone through should no longer happen.
“Thanks. It has always been an honor to be with you guys.”
And Captain Louie, who pats their shoulders lightly and kisses his own ring.
After a hot greeting that might be the last, the tracking team started moving in earnest.
There were quite a few watchers outside the warehouse, but luckily there weren’t too many inside the warehouse guarding the door to the basement. … Just five
The key is to do it as quickly and quietly as possible.
Still, the tracking team is already veterans with numerous careers. In particular, since he was a skilled man who specialized in infiltration and assassination, it was not a big deal to defeat the five clumsy heretics in the dark.
Captain Louie, who made an estimate in an instant, used his fingers to set up a plan like a dirty word. And the two crew members, who clearly engraved that in their minds, moved cautiously as they assimilated into the darkness.
At first, the two of them had their mouths shut, and the daggers were stabbed in the throat, lungs, and heart, and they died in an instant.
The other three approach the strange sound. Of course, they approached defenselessly without thinking that someone had infiltrated this place, and like the previous two, they were caught by the tracking party and died in an instant.
The three who dealt with the five inside like that. They dragged the three to a corner of the storage room, where they hid for a while, then went into the cellar.
As soon as they opened the door, they blasted the two guards at the entrance to the basement and pierced their chests with precision, and quickly ran and cut their throats before screaming.
Whoa.
Having dealt with this without any problems, they moved down the dark and long basement passage. The three of them went further down like that. And another door came out.
However, the two gatekeepers at the door did not see them, who completely silenced the sound of footsteps and wore completely black clothes to hide their traces. Moreover, they are chatting quietly about a certain subject.
In the dark, the two men bit into a tube, inserted a poison needle, and rammed it into the two men’s necks at the same time.
ㅡㅡ!!
The chasing squad that ran out and cut their throats at the same time holding their necks.
They carefully opened the closed door again. Then, a large space appeared.
The place with a terrible stench was like a prison where people were confined. However, now everything is empty and there is nothing.
Fortunately, there was no one watching. … Since there were already so many of them in front of him, he seemed to think that there was no need to keep an eye on them.
After walking further along the dungeon-like place, there was another door. And when the pursuers opened the door, they heard screams and cries.
Ah.
What caught their eyes was a huge cavity.
There, five or six heretics in bloody priestly clothes were praying over and over and throwing children into a pit of fire.
– It’s bina, it’s bina.
– Pray to Erbabus.
– Foolish us.
– Give me youth and eternal life.
– It’s bina, it’s bina.
– Pray to Erbabus.
– Foolish us.
– Give me wealth and strength.
Another child was thrown into a pit of fire.
Ah ah ah ah ah.
A child screaming in pain and burning.
Laysha, a female corpswoman, covered her mouth with her hand while looking at the terrible thing. She felt both sadness and anger at the same time.
Captain Louis saw a fat middle-aged man praying with him in front of a fire pit.
A face glistening with desire for youth and immortality, wealth and power, was more terrible than the devil.
Judging by his appearance, it seems that he is Baron Nabori, the lord of Humbert’s castle.
Louis couldn’t see any more children being sacrificed, so she ran straight to Heresy.
The crew threw a few heretics into the fire and killed the rest with a quick swing of their daggers.
Oops, aaaaagh!
Since it was the scene of a solemn prayer meeting, fortunately there were no escorts around. And it is the same with the lord.
Uh-!
Baron Nabori tried to run away, but Nam Daewon Hector was one step faster.
“You bastard!”
He punched the baron in the face several times for doing this terrible thing.
“Evil! Stop! Stop! Please! My food! Town!”
However, in order to safely escape with the children, the castle owner, a hostage, was needed, so Captain Louie squeezed his wrist to stop it.
“The face must be recognizable. Only then will it be of value as a hostage.”
The female agent gathered all the surviving children. A total of twelve children are still alive.
“Guys, stick together and follow us alone. Understand? Now let’s go to Mom and Dad.”
Her children clung to her, sobbing in fear.
Captain Louie hurriedly escaped the basement with the castle lord at the fore.
“Sah, save me. Me, me too, tongue, was threatened. This, this, can’t be helped… !”
“씨발 개새끼야, 닥쳐. … Do you know what you’ve done? Fuck. It won’t be any fun even if I kill you!”
Nam Dae-won held back the desire to tear Seongju to shreds at any moment. Of course, the same goes for Captain Louis. However, his priority was to get out of here safely, so he did not lose his temper.
“I, I am here, Seongju! I, if you would free me! I-I’ll just let you go!”
While Seongju was being dragged away, he repeatedly made suggestions.
“Money? Female? I’ll give you anything, anything! Bring the kids if you need them! I don’t need it anymore.”
While the Baron was talking bullshit, they came out of the cellar passage. … But at that time, they had already noticed something strange, and it looked like they were just about to enter the basement.
So, Louis put the lord of the castle in front and shouted out loud.
“Fuck, if you want to see a hole in the head of the castle lord, go for it!”
“Everyone, everyone step back! Didn’t I tell you to leave immediately!”
The lord of the castle, who valued his own life, shouted so loudly that the blood stood on his neck and pulled the guards back.
They came out of the warehouse like that. However, dozens of guards were already tightly surrounding them.
“Get out of the way, you bastards! Do you want to see the head of the holy wine being picked?!”
“Rain, get out of the way! You bastard!”
Of course, more than half of the guards are heretics. They did not know that they had to punish the pursuers here.
As they stood firm and did not back down, Captain Louis also broke into a cold sweat. He was determined to save the children somehow. … However, no matter how veterans they are, it is unreasonable to go head-to-head with this many numbers with just three.
“Laysha, Hector. … Take the kids and run away I will do my best to stop it.”
“Leader!”
“Otherwise we all die! … Even if you can’t save all of them, live as much as possible. Even one person… ! … That is the reason for our existence.”
Captain Louie remembered Uncle John.
The old man still counting to one hundred.
Thank you so much and miss you uncle.
… Uncle, wait. Now I go too. Mister… !
The captain smiled lightly. … If you ever see Uncle John again, he’ll compliment you on a job well done. Wouldn’t you smile and stroke my hair like back then?
– Louie, you’re going to grow great! I know this man when he sees it!
“Count to three. Move right away when you’re done.”
The two soldiers bit their lips until they bleed.
“Three, two, ha…”
However, captain Louis couldn’t count all of them.
Seeing a floating ship that suddenly appeared overhead.
And all the guards were surprised and backed away.
… Ah…
Before the flotation could even land, someone jumped out of it. And one human landing on the ground with a thud.
The figure slowly rose from the dust… , The strongest hero, Carl, who exists at the top of the current heroes.
Handsome like a statue, he glanced over the guards with a very bloody gaze. Then, he pulled out the holy sword and spoke in a heavy voice.
“I am the hero Kaal. Those who do not surrender will die.”
Hero Carl!
Ordinary escorts who heard of its identity had already lost their will to fight. How can criminals like themselves deal with a monster among monsters who are said to be able to deal with a thousand people alone!
However, the heretical Erbabusites did not back down. We already know that Hero Carl hates heretics extremely. Even if you surrender, you are dead anyway.
Of course, not all heretics had the will to fight, but most of them were determined to fight to the death. … Because of the slight hope that if I fight for the devil, I will be able to benefit from something when I die and fall into the spirit world.
When those who surrendered and those who did not surrender were distinguished, Hero Kaal tightly gripped the handle of his sword.
“Keep down.”
The tracking team quickly ducked.
And a holy sword that swings wildly.
ㅡㅡㅡㅡ!!!!
All heretics who did not surrender fell with their heads or chests split.
Just a single shot.
This is the power of the strongest hero, Kaal.
When the situation was sorted out, Carl approached Louis and hugged him tightly.
“… I was worried about you, brother. I almost couldn’t stand to see my father.”
“Thank you, Carl. You came just fine. … At least, I almost died, really.”
And Baron Nabori, who saw it, was startled.
I could never have thought that this guy was the brother of Hero Karl!
“The baron made a deal with heresy out of personal desire. The scene is in the basement, and there are many witnesses.”
“… Your Majesty will make a good decision.”
Soon the floating ship landed within the castle. Then, the introverted resistance.
At the same time, the children cried out loud in relief that they were alive.
Soon, Louis’ brother, Tom, gets off the floating ship. A wizard, a member of the Magic Exchange Society, and a member of the tracking squad, he ran to his brother and hugged him.
“Brother! Are you hurt anywhere? It was really dangerous this time!”
“… Still, thank you for coming right away on time.”
The fact that Louis kissed the ring earlier in the warehouse was the signal he sent to Tom.
“What am I supposed to do if my brother goes wrong?”
“Nevertheless, the children must be saved.”
And Louis gently stroked the children’s heads.
“Because they are going to be great when they grow up. More than I.”
The Hero group remained in the city to sort things out, while the children and the chase party boarded the flotation boat.
And a floating ship about to take off.
Wow
Innocent and innocent children, surprised as if they had just forgotten the tragedy.
– Mister, we fly!
– We boarded a flying boat!
Louie and Tom laughed and cried.
Uncle John.
Until the day my life ends, I will save the children.
Because those children will become better people than us.
