Chapter 316: Ashes (middle)

The Knight Knight came up and looked at the village in the distance.
"No one, the whole village was burnt down..." Knight Lund told the Kyle Knight what he saw. "It seems to have experienced a massacre, because I didn't see the crooked fence, although the fence There are traces of being burned, but according to the direction in which those things fell and the degree of burning, it can be speculated that the fences have not been damaged."
After a pause, the Knight Knight asked: "Are we going in? Kyle."
The Kyle Knight turned his head to look at his colleague. As before, the Lund Knight kept a very calm look, but the Kyle Knight knew that this was born, and Lund was naturally unable to do it. The expression is too rich.
Although it was asking, Kyle Knight also knew what the Knight Knight was reminding him.
"We are the reinforcements of Krylov III, and it is one of our duties to confirm the safety of the retreat route for him." Explaining, the Kyle Knight shouted back: "Go forward! One hundred and twenty The people stayed outside the village, surrounded the whole village as an emergency force, and at the same time ensured the safety of the surroundings. Rodriguez, Suman and Lund remained outside. The rest of the people, except the knights, were in a group of three. I enter the village!"
"Yes!"
The Kyle knight received a powerful response from the soldiers. He nodded and gave his horse to the flag bearer, leaving him to stay outside the village.
The narrow village is not a battlefield where cavalry can play its role. Fortunately, every knight in the sorrow wind can guarantee the combat effectiveness of dismounted combat, not just relying on the strength of the mount.
Kyle Knight did not explain anything to other people. He knew that other people would carry out his orders firmly, not only because they were soldiers, but also because they had enough trust in him.
He approached the village with dozens of soldiers and several knights. It was only after he approached that he discovered that the wooden fence surrounding the village did not show signs of violent destruction, as the Lund Knight said, but at the entrance of the village. , He found a pool of dried blood, which should have been a pool of blood.
In addition, he also found some footprints beside the pool of blood.
Because it had snowed a few days before, the land was a bit wet and the footprints on the ground were unclear, but it allowed the Kyle Knight to judge that this person might have nothing to do with the incident.
Going a few steps further, Kyle Knight found not only the shallow footprints but also some deeper footprints among these footprints, and the span was very large, it seemed to be running from the village to the village.
With this, Kyle Knight had some speculation in mind.
Someone came to this village before them, and that person should look very anxious, because that person is from this village? Or was the village burning when the man came here?
With such suspicions, the Kyle Knight entered the village, and did not see too many signs of destruction outside the village. Instead, he saw some marks caused by ‘sharp weapons’ and ‘blunt instruments’ inside the village.
In addition, there are not too many traces, and there are very few blood stains.
It’s understandable to think that this village has had a big fire, but there are few blood stains, but what about other traces?
Standing next to the well in the village, the Kyle Knight glanced at the village that had turned into ruins.
There was a kicked barrel at his feet, and there was some clutter in the village, but there seemed to be no signs of fighting.
Generally speaking, even if men are all transferred into militia, only old and weak women and children are left in the village, but if those old and weak women and children really encounter something, will they resist? Do they stand to kill?
As for the possibility of someone taking people away, the Kyle Knight only denied it after thinking about it.
Not only in the village, but also outside the village did not find too many traces, the village has no signs of'moving' in all directions, and this is the most weird-since no one was taken away, or maybe someone was taken away Now, but what about the corpse? What about the bodies of other people?
If a large group of people were removed, it would be very difficult to clean up the traces; if some people were taken away, what about the rest of the bodies?
If everyone was killed, what about the body?
No matter how big the fire is, it can ignite the whole village, but in any case, there should be bones left.
"Look at the traces, and it will never take more than three days before that thing happens!" Cavalier Lorenzo said affirmatively. His father was a risky adventurer. He once learned some tracking and tracing with his father, the "ranger". He has a say in the skills of survival in extreme regions.
Most of the knights who came out with the Kyle Knight this time were under the age of 50, and the knights above the age of 50 and under the age of 120 were still in their prime. The Tosolo Cavaliers are enough. The two of them are the oldest Duke's two proud students in so many years.
"Really……"
The Kyle Knight nodded and looked at a house that had collapsed halfway. It seemed that the house collapsed because the pillar was burnt down. This also reminded the Kyle Knight to be vigilant.
Most of the houses in this village are stone. It seems that because of the convenient transportation and the only village nearby, there are often adventurers and businessmen visiting, so the village is also relatively wealthy.
From the map, it is known that if it is not because this village is more important, it will not be marked on the map.
Will a stone house collapse due to the burning of pillars?
You know, if you want to support this stone house, you need more than a pillar.
From the point of view that most houses in the village are only burned down inside, and the outside looks only a bit burnt, if there is no ‘external cause’ and it is almost impossible to collapse such a stone house.
And according to the judgment of the Knight of Lorenzo, the house seemed to be renovated, because the quality of the pillars and walls in the house felt different from other houses-in order to find the corpses in the village, they specially entered these houses, Even this half-collapsed house has been in, but nothing was found.
They found some coins in these houses. In addition to some silver coins, they even found two gold coins, which is what caused the Kyle Knight to be puzzled.
Not for money, just to kill people?
Kyle Knight is difficult to understand, because he has been living in the wind and sorrow before, most of the time dealing with beasts, it is difficult to imagine that some people will kill people without any hatred for a while~ EbookFREE.me~ cultist. "
The Knight of Lorenzo aside reminded him that this reminded Knight Kyle of what happened in the tragic wind half a year ago.
"Is it a cultist?" Looking at the ruins, Kyle Knight frowned, "Really a cultist..."
"wrong!"
Kyle Knight shook his head, denying this statement, "It should not be done by cultists!"
"If they are cultists, there is no need for them to be involved in the war!"
This may be one of Krylov III's "back roads", if not unexpectedly, it will definitely be within the patrol scope of the royal army, if the cultists please the evil here, then Krylov III will certainly not The dangerous elements will be left alone.
"What if the enemy colluded with the cultists?" Cavalier Lorenzo offered a different opinion.
The Kyle Knight closed his eyes and suddenly opened his eyes, then sighed, "...Let them gather and continue to move forward!"
The Kyle Knight insisted on his own opinion, because there could not be a group of cultists'flowering in the center' in this village, using sharp objects and blunt objects. From the traces, it is only possible to be a group of adventurers or mercenaries. How can people in this village put a group of people who look like dangerous elements into the village during times of tension?
You know, the fence outside the village has no signs of damage...
However, they have no clue now, go to the front, inform Krelov III of this matter, and let him send someone to search it is the most reasonable choice at the moment.
In desperation, the Kyle Knight can only let the soldiers gather and continue to move forward.
Of course, he still believes in his horse, he will not take off this armor!
