Chapter 95

The sky was clear, calm and windless, and the fiery red sun shone fiercely on the earth.

Claude squatted by the river, picked up a handful of water and washed his face hard. The coolness of the river took away the heat from his face and made him feel much more comfortable.

Paladin Johnny came up to Claude and asked him, "Captain, we're almost at Victor's, shall we go now?"

Claude was unhappy to see Johnny wearing only a linen shirt. He straightened the Leather Helmet he was wearing again and said, "Johnny, equip your leather armor."

Johnny smiled awkwardly and said, "Captain, it's too hot. Don't wear it until evening."

Claude looked around and found that all the other paladins took off their leather armor and said to Johnny, "don't forget the instructor's instruction. As a paladin, armor is our life."

With that, the tall and strong captain of the paladin strode to the carriage parked on the side of the road and shouted, "paladins, equip. We're ready to go!"

In such hot weather, leading thousands of people to walk hundreds of kilometers, even paladins feel tired, especially equipped with thick leather armor, which makes them feel like being in an oven. When the motorcade stopped by the river for a temporary rest, the paladins took off their leather armor and wiped it happily by the river. If it weren't for many women watching, the boys would like to take a bath. But Captain Claude has ordered that the paladins equip the leather armor despite their reluctance.

The order to start has been issued, but the paladins have been running and shouting for nearly an hour, and the team still can't start. The free people are so slow to form a formation. Claude was secretly worried. He glanced vaguely at BYD next to him.

Baidi understood it. He waved. Dozens of strong men with sticks rushed out of the crowd and began to close the team. After a while, everyone finally gathered around the carriage.

Claude sighed as he watched the free people form a formation in just 20 minutes under the threat of sticks.

Claude is an excellent Paladin trained by the church monastery. He always remembers the virtues of paladins: piety, bravery, protection, sacrifice, compassion and justice. When the man named BYDY asked him to escort a group of free people to victor, Claude agreed without hesitation. As a paladin, what is the reason to refuse to protect the migration of the people? But what Claude didn't expect was that more and more free people asked to join the team. In two days, there were more than 1300 people. What do so many people eat on the road? Claude made a mistake. When he was at a loss, a generous businessman donated a large amount of food and 20 carriages at one time.

In this way, the huge migration team set out under the protection of 30 paladins. Along the way, the young paladins cut through thorns and thorns and drove out wild animals. They were loved and loved by everyone. They were proud of it. But there were also discordant voices in the team, which was Baidi, the initiator of the migration. This guy gathered a group of people and held the right to distribute food. He was not polite to others. He scolded and beat them all the time. Claude warned him several times with little effect. Finally, inspired by another group of people, the paladin dismissed Baidi's leadership.

What happened later made Claude deeply confused. First, the team grew longer and slower. Then, people began to leave the team and set out on their own. Finally, even free people were killed by wild animals because they did not listen to their orders. Claude was dismayed to see the victim's body. He realized that people loved paladins but were not afraid of paladins. Without the intimidation of Baidi, these free people became scattered and chaotic.

Under Claude's hint, Baidi took over the team again, and the migratory team restored order. Claude finally understood why the old Paladin instructor of the monastery smiled bitterly and shook his head when he was appointed captain of the paladin. He remembered that the day before the paladin team started, the old instructor told him to see more, listen more, learn more, talk less and make less decisions after arriving at Heibao Town, because they were not qualified paladins. Claude didn't think so at the time, but he knows it now.

"Biddy, thanks to you this time." Claude said sincerely. Although he doesn't like this guy at all.

Biddy tried to look respectful and whispered, "my Lord, I have no choice along the way. Someone must maintain order. I have no prestige and can only be a villain."

"Be a villain?" Muttered Claude.

Seeing the paladin's thoughtful look, Baidi scolded in his heart: I really stepped on shit!

Baidi was very depressed and frightened. He only wanted to organize two or three hundred people to get a job in victor. But he didn't expect so many people to join the team. Originally, he wanted to reject these people, but the paladin Claude disagreed. In the paladin's eyes, all the people needed protection. Finally, the team expanded to 1300 people. Baidi knew he was playing big. No Lord would accept thousands of free people at a time. If the Lord knows it was organized by Baidi, he will face the Lord's anger.

Halfway through, Baidi wanted to leave the team with several partners and get to Victor's collar first. But Baidi was afraid of death and had to follow the brigade slowly. Later, Claude asked him to continue to organize the team. Because the team walked too slowly and there was not enough food! Baidi was unable to ride a tiger, so he had to bite the bullet and reorganize the team. Finally, it took 26 days to get close to Baron victor.

Two people each have their own thoughts, so they move forward slowly with the team. When the sun set, cheers came from the front of the team. The speed accelerated sharply and they arrived at their destination.

Claude climbed the hillside and took a long breath. He knew that the journey was finally coming to an end. Looking at the happy smiling faces of the people, Claude felt that their hard work was worth it. There was no smooth wind and water along the way, but he succeeded in protecting the migrating people. As long as these people were handed over to the Lord, the weight on his shoulder would be removed.

The team continued to move forward in a relaxed atmosphere. They all wanted to reach the Lord's Castle quickly and walk out of ten kilometers. The team stopped.

Claude was surprised when one of his men ran over and said loudly, "Captain, there is the Lord's guard in front. They blocked the team!"

Claude was overjoyed: "did the Lord send guards to pick us up? Baidi, let's go! Baidi? Where are the Baidi people?"

No one responded to him. Claude found that Baidi had disappeared. Although he didn't know where Baidi was, Claude still had to hand over with the Lord's guards, so he strode forward.

Claude rushed to the front of the team and saw hundreds of fully armed guards surrounded by this noble young man. He was slender, fit, handsome, deep eyes like black crystal, a rare black hair set off an elegant and ethereal temperament, and with slightly pointed ears, Claude knew that this was the Lord here, victor Lord Wimbledon.

Claude stepped forward to salute victor and said, "you must be Baron Wimbledon? I'm the captain of the paladin of the Central Church in black fort town, Claude. May the glory of the Lord of glory visit you."

The young Baron smiled at Claude and said modestly, "yes, I am Baron Victor, the Lord here. Then captain Claude, can you tell me why the church has arranged so many people to my territory?"

"Baron, these people are not arranged by the church. They voluntarily come to your territory. Our paladins just protect them along the way at their request. Since you have come to pick them up, we will go back now." Claude explained to the Lord.

The Baron frowned and said, "I didn't bring people to meet them. In fact, I didn't know such a huge team would migrate to my territory."

Claude asked suspiciously, "so, sir, what do you bring people here for?"

"There are more than one ferocious wolves active. They threaten my territory. I brought guards to exterminate the ferocious wolves."

Claude was shocked. Fierce wolves are extremely difficult beasts. They have a keen sense of smell and are very fast. Although paladins are not afraid of fierce wolves, they can't kill these cunning and ferocious monsters. Ferocious wolves are nightmares for ordinary people, not to mention more than one ferocious wolf.

Claude was calm and skeptical. The man horse hill is not a wilderness with dense monsters. How can there be groups of fierce wolves? But the guards around the LORD looked nervous, and they didn't seem to pretend.

"Sir, are there really fierce wolves here?" Claude asked haltingly.

Victor said unhappily, "Captain Claude, are you suspecting me of lying?"

"No, I don't mean that, just..." Claude explained at a loss.

"I see what you mean. Although there are not many monsters in the man horse hill, it is a pioneer here. Since the forest people and horses moved away, we humans can come here to explore new territories, and those monsters and orcs will also migrate here. Just a few months ago, we exterminated an ogre with the help of York family knights. It is not surprising that there are fierce wolves here Things. You know, my territory is the most remote area in the Renma hills. " Sighed victor.

Claude hurriedly said, "Sir, since there are ferocious wolves here, please take these people to your castle for shelter, otherwise they will be in danger!"

Victor said with a bitter smile: "I have only developed the territory for a few months. The castle is very small. Even my neighbors can't live there. There can accommodate so many people."

Claude's heart sank. He knew that the castle led by the Baron could only accommodate 300 people, and he brought 1300 people, which he could not live in anyway.

"It's getting dark, Captain Claude. You'd better take these people back." Victor advised Claude.

Claude looked around at the panicked free people, full of bitterness, without food, even if they wanted to go back, they couldn't do it.

"Sir, please help these poor people. They are tired and hungry after a long journey to your territory. How can they go back at this time?" Claude pleaded.

Victor pondered for a moment: "the ferocious wolf has blocked the way to the castle. You can't go any further. You can only find a safe place to camp first. Go 15 kilometers east from here, which is the junction between Viscount Buryat and the man horse hills. It's safer there. You can take people to camp there first until we eliminate the ferocious wolf."

"My Lord, I am willing to help you destroy those fierce wolves. I hope you can donate some food. We have no food." Claude said heavily.

Victor asked grimly, "Paladin Claude, how dare you bring so many people here without food? Do you know that I haven't planted crops here for less than seven months. There is surplus food? Are you going to starve them?"

Facing the Lord's question, Claude was speechless. At this time, he realized that he might have made a big mistake! Although these free people lived in hardship in Heibao, they could get the relief of the church and the protection of the Lord. Victor collar, 800 kilometers away, has no ability to ensure their survival.

"Captain Claude, it's going to be dark soon. You take these people to camp at the junction now. I'll send someone to deliver a batch of food. However, my food is limited. You must organize these people to withdraw from this dangerous area as soon as possible. In addition, I'll send 20 guards to assist you temporarily."

Victor added: "my men have no knights and only 100 guards. Now those fierce wolves are raging in my territory, so I won't accompany them. Please advise these people not to run around. Otherwise, no one can guarantee their safety."

Seeing the Baron leave here with his escort, Claude was confused. Mingming has successfully arrived at his destination, but why did he encounter such a thing?
