Chapter 673: The Victim

The believers of the church would actually save a witch?

Yorko unknowingly put down the bacon, and focused all his attention on Anne. ??

"They led the hero out of the cage, and it was also under the cover of these captives that she escaped the church's capture. After the war, the surviving trial warriors even gave her a period of time. food and clothing, and they did not bid farewell to the hero until the army returned to Hermes, and before leaving, all the trial warriors who had been in that cage came to express their gratitude to her."

Yorko frowned, "But will the title of hero..."

"She is a hero," Annie said firmly. "No matter what the citizens who have been cured by her think of her, she has saved tens of thousands of people in Wolfheart City, and also saved the lives of me and Amy. This title, she Well deserved."

The ambassador couldn't help sighing. It turned out that the pain suffered by these witches was much crueler than he imagined. If he was treated like this, let alone trust ordinary people, even if he regarded everyone as an enemy, I can't wait to kill them all.

The unhappiness of being suspected by the other party gradually dissipated.

"Her legs...maybe have a chance to recover."

"What, is what you said true?"

"How to do?"

Everyone turned their attention to Yorko, even the hero. Judging by her appearance, she might only be ten years old. Even though she was devastated by the war, her eyes were still full of anticipation instead of numbness and bewilderment.

"Ahem, I'm not sure either," Yorko rubbed his nose, "Sill mentioned that there are probably more than three hundred witches gathered in Graycastle, and the power of the devil... no, I mean ability This kind of thing is always weird, right? Maybe someone can regenerate a severed limb, or even conjure a new one for her."

"Three hundred?" No. 76 asked in surprise, "How did the King of Graycastle recruit so many witches?"

"It's a long story. My old friend is a born king. He has seen through the church's tricks long ago. He not only stipulates that witches can live like ordinary people in the territory, but also spreads the theory that witches are innocent. Everywhere in Graycastle. After a long time, many witches will naturally join him and work for him." Yorko took the opportunity to praise His Majesty Roland, "So you don't have to worry about your future life at all. Winterfell claims that everyone can find a suitable job, and witches are no exception."

"What kind of job?" Amy's eyes sparkled.

I don't know... I've never been to Neverwinter, "Well, of course it depends on what kind of ability you have. For example, if you control flames, you can become a blacksmith, and if you control whirlwinds, you can go to a mill to drive a windmill, and so on." About Kou Hu said, "In short, His Majesty plans to build a new capital in the western region, which requires a lot of manpower. Even if the ability is not useful, you can still work like ordinary people."

"Sounds really good," Annie winked at Amy who hesitated to speak, "but lies are always much better than reality, and now I..."

"I know, I know, you can't trust me completely, right?" Yorko spread his hands, "Just trust your own eyes when the time comes."

"By the way, how did you meet the hero?" Number 76 asked.

"When Wolfheart City was captured, I happened to be staying at Amy's house. Because I noticed the strange behavior of the Judgment Army, I followed the group of people to find the hero." Annie said while flicking the bonfire, "When you meet Broken Blade Several months later, she was captured by church believers stationed there and planned to take her to the holy city. I set up an ambush on the road ahead of time to attack the escort team and rescued her."

"Are you alone?"

"If you have enough time to prepare, hunting a group of people is not much more difficult than hunting animals," Anne said in a very calm tone, "but after that ambush, the Church's search of Wolfheart City has increased several times. We could no longer hide in it, so we mixed with the refugee team and left Wolfheart, and finally headed south all the way to live in the orphanage in Glory City."

"What an incredible escape," Seventy-Six sighed.

And it's not over yet, Yorko thought to himself, although the Dawn Kingdom is not as scary as the church, it is still more than enough to crush them and their group. I hope that Hill's worries are not true, otherwise Ampein Moya will never let them leave. As long as they don't leave the border of the Kingdom of Dawn, they can't be considered safe for a day.

He shook his head, and put these annoying thoughts behind him, "Go to bed early after dinner, and you have to go on your way early tomorrow morning."

...

The escape trip that followed was unexpectedly smooth. Under the plan of the magician, the group walked in the suburbs and did not enter the city. After five days, they arrived at Yingfeng Ridge in the morning light. Go south for another day, and you will be able to enter the Northland of Graycastle.

Yorko also relaxed a little.

After all, the feeling of nervousness along the way is not very good. Every night, if there is any movement, he will wake up with a start. On the contrary, No. 76 is much calmer than him. Not only does he usually help take care of the witch, but he also takes care of himself.

After a few days, she has become quite familiar with witches, especially Amy, who is easy to trust others, and she almost regards No. 76 as her fourth sister.

Yorko leaned on the soft cushion, looked out the window at the rolling hills and withered fields, and couldn't help humming a little song in his heart.

The position of ambassador was a failure, but at least he brought back four witches for his old friend. If Hill was right, what kind of reward would His Majesty give him?

Just as he was dreaming with anticipation, the magician in charge of security suddenly rushed up from behind the convoy, "My lord, we may be in trouble. It seems that someone is following us from behind."

"What?"

Yorko was startled, and quickly stuck his head out of the window, but he didn't notice anything unusual.

"Those people are all knights, and they are about seven or eight miles away from us. You can't see them." The magician controlled the horse under him, keeping his body parallel to the carriage, "They are not moving fast, but Ours is slower, and if this continues, the opponent will find out and catch up with the team sooner or later."

"Are you sure they are enemies?"

"I'm not sure, I just took a look from a distance, but we can't bet on this chance. They are about twenty or thirty people, wearing full armor, and not carrying a replacement horse. They should have found it along our rut."

"Then what should we do?" Yorko suddenly panicked.

"We have to abandon the cart and walk. There is a dense forest nearby, where horses cannot pass through, and the speed of knights cannot be used." The magician said in a deep voice, "But this will only bring our speed to the same level as theirs. If you are overtaken, you will only have a dead end. If you want to be safe, it is best for someone to lead the convoy forward and attract them to the road."

He paused, "In other words, someone must be willing to make sacrifices." 8
