Transcendent Noble

In the sky, the sky is clear and windless, and the fiery sun is shining violently on the earth.

Claude squatted by the river, took a handful of water and washed his face severely. The coolness of the river took away the heat on his face and made him feel a lot more comfortable.

Paladin Johnny walked to Claude's side and asked him: "Captain, we are about to pick up Victor, are we going now?"

Seeing Johnny is only wearing Claude was a little displeased with a linen shirt. He straightened the leather helmet he was wearing again on his head and said, "Johnny, equip your leather armor."

Johnny said with embarrassment. a smile: "Captain, it's too hot this day. Wait for the evening to wear it."

Claude looked around and found that all the other Paladins had taken off their leather armor, yes Johnny said resolutely: "Don't forget the instructor's teaching. As a Paladin, armor is our life."

Speaking, this tall and strong Paladin Captain strode towards the carriage stopped on the side of the road. , Shouted: "Paladins, get equipped. We are ready to go!"

In such hot weather, leading thousands of people to walk hundreds of kilometers, even Paladin felt exhausted. Especially equipped with thick leather armor, it makes them feel like they are in an oven. When the convoy stopped by the river for a break, Paladin took off his leather armor one after another and wiped it happily by the river. If it weren't for many women watching by the side, the young men would have liked to go and wash. A bath. But Captain Claude has ordered that, although reluctantly, the Paladins still equip the leather armor.

The order to start has been issued, but the Paladins have been running and drinking for nearly an hour, and the convoy still failed to start. The freedmen are so dragged and difficult to form a formation. Claude was anxious secretly, he glanced at Baidi next to him vaguely.

Baidy understands, he beckons with the hand, dozens of brawny man holding sticks sprang out of the crowd, foul-mouthed and began to gather the team. After a while, everyone finally gathered around the carriage.

Claude watched as these freedmen were threatened by clubs and formed a formation in just twenty minutes, and couldn't help but sighed.

Claude is an excellent Paladin cultivated by the church's monastery. He has always kept in mind the virtues of Paladin: piety, bravery, protection, sacrifice, mercy, and justice. When the man named Baidi asked him to escort a group of free people to move to Victor, Claude agreed without the slightest hesitation. As a Paladin, why refuse to protect the migration of people? But what Claude didn't expect was that more and more freedmen asked to join the team, and the number of people in two days reached more than 1,300. What do so many people eat on the road? Claude made it difficult. When he was at a loss, a generous businessman donated a large sum of food and 20 carriages at once.

In this way, the huge migration team set off under the protection of 30 Paladin. On the way, the young Paladins overcame obstacles and expelled the wild beast, and were embraced and loved by everyone, and they were proud of it. But there were also discordant voices in the team, Baidi, the initiator of this migration. This guy gathered a group of people, controlled the right to distribute food, and was rude to other people, yelling and beating at every turn. Claude warned him several times, but the effect was not great. In the end, Paladin, under the agitation of another group, removed Baidi from his position as the leader.

What happened afterwards left Claude deeply confused. First of all, the team stretched longer and slower. Then, people began to leave the team and set off on their own. In the end, there were even free people who were killed by wild beasts because they did not listen to their assignments. Seeing the victim's body, Claude was very depressed. He realized that people love Paladin but they are not afraid of Paladin. Without the intimidation of the Baidi gang, these free people have become sloppy and chaotic.

At Claude's suggestion, Baidi took over the team again, and the migrating team restored order. Claude finally understood why the old Paladin instructor of the monastery smiled bitterly and shook his head when he was appointed Paladin Captain. He remembered that the day before the Paladin squad opened, the old instructor told him that after arriving in Black Castle Town, you should watch more, listen more, learn more, talk less, and call the shots less, because they are not qualified Paladin. Claude didn't think so at the time, but now he understands it.

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

Badi tried to look respectful, and whispered: "My lord, there is nothing I can do on my way. There is always someone to maintain order. I have no prestige and can only be a villain."

"Are you a villain?" Claude muttered.

Seeing Paladin looked thoughtful, Baidi cursed in his heart: I really stepped on shit!

Baidi was very depressed and terrified. Originally, he only wanted to organize two or three hundred people to lead Victor for an errand. But he didn't expect so many people to join the team. Originally he wanted to reject these people, but Claude Paladin disagreed. In Paladin's eyes, all the people needed protection. In the end, the team expanded to 1,300 people. Baidi knew that he was playing big, and no lord master would accept thousands of free men at once. If fief lord knows that Baidi organized, then he will face the anger of the lord.

In the middle of the journey, Baidi wanted to leave the team with a few partners and rushed to the leader of Victor first. But Baidi was afraid of death, so he had to follow the battallion very slow forward. Later, Claude asked him to continue to organize the team forward. Because the team went too slowly and there was not enough food! If you ride a tiger, it's hard to get off, Baidi can only reorganize the team by brace oneself. In the end, it took 26 days to get close to Baron Victor's collar.

The two people have their own thoughts, so they lead the team slowly forward. When the setting sun slanted, cheers came from the front of the convoy, the speed suddenly accelerated, and they arrived at their destination.

Claude climbed up the hill and took a long breath. He knew that this journey was finally over. Looking at the happy smiling faces of the people, Claude felt that their hard work was worth it. The journey was not smooth, but he still succeeded in protecting the migrating people. As long as these people were handed over to the lord, his shoulders The heavy load was removed.

The team continued to move forward in a relaxed atmosphere. They all wanted to reach the lord’s castle quickly. After walking ten kilometers, the team stopped.

While Claude was surprised, one of his subordinates 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 a guard to pick us up? Bydi, let's go! Bydi? Where's the Baidi?"

No one responded to him, and Claude discovered that Baidi was nowhere to be seen. Although he didn't know where Baidi was there, Claude was still going to hand over with the lord bodyguards, so he strode forward.

Claude rushed to the front of the team and saw hundreds of fully armed guards surrounded by this noble youngster. Seeing his slender figure fit, his face is handsome, his deep eyes are like black liquid crystals, a rare black hair sets off an elegant and ethereal temperament, coupled with slightly pointed ears, Claude knows this is the lord of this place, Victor . Baron Wimbledon Lord.

Claude stepped forward and saluted Victor: "You must be Lord Baron Wimbledon? I'm Paladin Captain, Claude of the central church of Black Castle Town. May the glory of Lord of Radiance be on you."

The young Lord Baron slightly lowered his jaw towards Claude, and said restrainedly: "Yes, I am Baron Victor, the lord of this place, then Claude Captain, can you tell me why the church arranges so many people to arrive. My territory?"

"Lord Baron, these people are not arranged by the church. They voluntarily come to your territory. Our Paladin is only protecting them along the way at their request. Now that you have come to pick them up , We will go back now." Claude explained to the lord.

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

Claude asked suspiciously: "So, what do you bring people here, my lord?"

"There are ferocious wolves that are active, and there is more than one. They threaten my territory. I bring The guard is here to kill the ferocious wolves."

Claude turned pale in fright, ferocious wolves are extremely difficult wild beasts. They have a keen sense of smell and are extremely fast. Although the Paladins are not afraid of ferocious wolves, they cannot kill these cunning and ferocious monsters. A ferocious wolf is a nightmare to an ordinary person, even more how there is more than one ferocious wolf.

Claude settled down, but he was a little skeptical. Centaur Hills is not a dense wilderness of monsters. How can there be hordes of ferocious wolves? But the guards around the lord looked nervous and uneasy, and they didn't seem to be pretending.

"My lord, are there really ferocious wolves here?" Claude asked eagerly.

Victor said displeasedly: "Claude Captain, are you suspecting that I lied?"

"No, I didn't mean that, just..." Claude not Explaining knowing what to do.

"I understand what you mean. Although there are not many Centaur Hills monsters, it is a pioneer here after all. Since the forest people moved away, we humans can come here to open up new territories, and those monsters and orcs will also Migrate here. Just a few months ago, with the assistance of the York family Knight, we wiped out an ogre. It is not a strange thing that ferocious wolves appear here. You know, my territory is the most remote in Centaur Hills. Area." Victor sighed.

Claude said quickly: "My lord, since there are ferocious wolves here. Please take these people to your castle to hide, otherwise they will be in danger!"

Victor said with a bitter smile: "I have just opened up the territory for a few months. The castle is very small, and even my people cannot live there. It can accommodate so many people."

Claude's heart is straight forward. Sinking, he knew that the castle led by Baron could only accommodate 300 people, and he brought 1,300 people over, and he couldn't live anyway.

"It's getting dark, Claude's Captain, you should take these people back." Victor persuaded Claude.

Claude looked at the free people around who lost one's head out of fear. His heart was full of bitterness. They couldn't do it even if they wanted to go back without food.

"My lord, please help these pitiful persons, who have travelled a long way to your territory, tired and hungry, how can they go back at this time." Claude begged bitterly.

Victor pondered for a moment: "The ferocious wolf has blocked the way to the castle. You can no longer move forward. You can only find a safe place to camp. Walk 15 kilometers east from here, that’s The border between the Viscount Beria and Centaur Hills is safer. You can take people to camp there until we kill the ferocious wolves."

"My lord, I am willing to help you suppress those ferocious wolves. Wolf, I hope you can donate some food, we have no food." Claude said heavily.

Victor asked with an iron face: "Claude Paladin, you dare to bring so many people to migrate here without food? Do you know that I have been here for less than 7 months, and the crops I planted? They haven't been harvested yet. Is there any extra food? Are you planning to starve them to death?"

Faced with the lord’s question, Claude was speechless. At this time, he realized that he might have made a big mistake! Although these free people are living in difficulties in Blacksburg, they can receive the relief of the church and the protection of the lord. The Victor leader 800 kilometers away was unable to guarantee their survival.

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

Victor added, "I don’t have Knight under my team, only 100 guards. Now that those ferocious wolves are raging in my territory, I will not accompany you. Please must advise these people not to run around. Otherwise, no one can guarantee their safety."

Look at Lord Baron. As the guard left here, Claude was at a loss. Obviously I have arrived at the destination smoothly, but why did I encounter such a thing?
