Chapter 952: Giant Beast

Frankish Empire 313th year (Britannia Empire 295th year)

February 7th.

Somewhere in the territory of the Frankish Empire.

It is now late at night, and it is dark everywhere.

But even with only the faint moonlight and starlight for illumination, Theo can still clearly find a place to walk.

After all, he has lived here since he was a child, and he is familiar with the terrain here.

Theo is an ordinary farmer.

He farms when the sun comes out, and rests when the sun sets. When he is free occasionally, he makes some small things, such as umbrellas and toys for children to supplement the family income.

From his life, he lives an ordinary life that cannot be more ordinary.

Logically, at this time, he should stay at home and sleep, but tonight he is walking in such a dark night in an unusual way.

The reason why he is out of character tonight is that he has too many troubles recently, which makes him unable to sleep peacefully.

If you ask him what is the most annoying thing for him, it is naturally the recent harvest problem.

Since two years ago, the wheat in his field has not grown well.

Theo's family is a big family. In addition to him, there are his wife, his two sons, and his mother who is still alive, a total of five people.

It is precisely because of the poor growth of wheat in the past two years that their family of five has had a very hard time in the past two years.

Theo knows very well that if the wheat growth is still poor this year, then their whole family will be at risk of starving to death.

This heavy pressure has made Theo's mental state not good recently.

It is precisely because of this heavy pressure that Theo has been tossing and turning in bed tonight, unable to fall asleep, and thinking about wheat in his mind.

Since he couldn't sleep anyway, Theo simply got up and planned to take a walk outdoors to relax.

After saying goodbye to his wife, Theo went out of the house in the evening breeze.

Theo planned to take a walk by the big river where he usually went.

The village where Theo lives is adjacent to a big river, and the water used in their village is basically taken from this big river.

Because Theo was so familiar with the surrounding terrain, he soon arrived at the river.

The river bank and the path were not clear because the river was too wide and the light around was too dim, so there was no way to see the scenery on the other side, which was completely submerged in darkness.

Stars were reflected here and there on the black water surface. They were trembling and broken. Only by this could we infer the traces of the river flow.

There was no wind in the air. There was a bush beside Theo. There was a nightingale in the bush. It ignored Theo and continued to sing.

Breathing in the cool breeze full of water vapor, Theo felt that the "boulder" accumulated in his chest became smaller.

At this moment, Theo suddenly found something strange.

He suddenly found that there were many strange black shadows in the middle of the river in the distance.

These strange black shadows were very large, like hills and black monsters.

"What is this..." Theo murmured in confusion as he slowly approached the riverbank, intending to get closer to these strange, huge black shadows so that he could see their specific appearance.

After walking to the river, Theo finally saw what these black shadows were.

After seeing the specific appearance of these black shadows, Theo exclaimed.

Because the true appearance of these black shadows is - ships!

One huge ship after another!

Theo has never seen such a big ship in his life.

Although Theo is almost 30 years old this year, in his 30 years of career, he has only seen small fishing boats that can only seat 3 or 4 people.

This is the first time Theo has seen such a huge ship.

Theo feels that any of these large ships can seat hundreds of people, maybe even a thousand people.

"What is this..." Theo murmured in shock, "Where did these big ships come from..."

As far as Theo knew, his village was just a remote mountain village, and even strangers rarely saw it. At this time, he saw so many big ships as big as small mountains on the bank of the river.

These big ships were moving in an orderly manner in this river, as if they were going somewhere.

Just as Theo was watching intently, a sharp pain suddenly came from the back of Theo's neck.

Someone hit Theo's neck hard.

Waves of strong dizziness surged from his mind.

This strong dizziness did not allow Theo to even scream, and he collapsed to the ground and fainted.

...

...

When Theo finally woke up, he found himself tied to the trunk of a big tree.

And in front of him, there were two people.

Two soldiers in armor.

Judging from the content of their conversations, they seemed to be in a superior-subordinate relationship.

One seemed to be an officer, and the other seemed to be just an ordinary soldier.

The man who was obviously an officer shouted at the soldier.

"How did you patrol? Didn't I say that no one is allowed to approach the river bank?!"

"I'm very sorry!" The soldier seemed very scared, lowered his head, and kept apologizing, "I didn't expect that at this time, someone would actually approach the river bank..."

"Look at what you have done!" The officer pointed at Theo who was tied to the tree, "We could have avoided a senseless killing... huh?"

At this time, the officer noticed that Theo had woken up.

"You are awake." The officer said to Theo, "What is your name, where do you live, and what do you do?"

The tone of the officer was extremely tough, and he used an imperative tone when questioning Theo.

Unable to figure out the current situation, Theo swallowed hard.

Just when he was about to tell who he was, where he lived, and what he did, the officer suddenly waved his hand.

"Forget it, don't tell me this, you are going to die anyway."

-Die? !

After hearing this unlucky word, Theo's eyes suddenly widened.

An ominous premonition emerged in his heart.

"It was all because of your negligence that this poor man saw our fleet." The officer said to the soldier, "Whether this man is innocent or not, in order to ensure the concealment of our fleet, we can only kill him."

"Because this is your negligence, you have to be responsible to the end, and this man is left to you to deal with."

"Pull him to the river and drown him, making it look like he accidentally fell into the river and drowned."

"Yes..."

The soldier sighed, his tone full of helplessness and pain.

"Sorry, my friend."

The soldier walked slowly to Theo, who looked as pale as death.

"It's all because of my problem that you have to die now. If I could be more serious when patrolling, I would have found you earlier and stopped you from going to the river..."
