Farming Road from Baron to Emperor

Chapter 179

That night, Baron Harmon disappeared into the dark night with his knight retinue, steward, and servants.

Standing in the castle, the knight commander watched Baron Harmon's retreating figure, and spit a few mouthfuls towards the bottom of the castle.

The damned Baron Harmon actually took him as a scapegoat.

Let's see who is unlucky in the end.

The knight commander waved the long sword in his hand, and the armor leaf made a rattling sound.

"The Iris family gave preferential treatment to the captives. Firstly, we did not kill the Iris soldiers, and secondly, we did not do other things that would harm nature. As long as we surrender, our lives will be preserved.

For the safety of my brothers, I will surrender to the Earl of Shire tomorrow. "

As soon as the knight commander finished speaking, a knight in leather armor appeared.

"The glory of a knight lies in loyalty. We surrendered without even fighting. Is that worthy of our armor and worthy of Baron Harmon's appreciation for us?"

The knight's long eyes showed a fierce light, and the long sword in his hand sprang out like a poisonous snake. Under the cover of the night, only the sound of the long sword slashing in the air could be heard.

~ thorn ~
The long sword split the knight's leather armor, and blood gushed out.

Baron Harmon has abandoned you and is still here as a dog.

The knight commander spat at the dead body, and then shouted at the crowd: "It was the soldiers of the Clivia family who sneaked in just now, and wanted us to die with the Iris soldiers.

Brothers, do you want to live and live a peaceful life, or die like a wild dog, with no one to take care of your family and your children starving to death one by one. "

With such a clear answer, the soldiers knew it without thinking.

"Live!"

"Live"

Hearing the most sincere request from the soldiers, the knight commander finally showed a smile on his distressed face, and he shouted loudly: "Take out all the grain in the warehouse and the butcher shop, we will have a full meal today."

"Long live the knight commander!"

"Long live the knight commander!"

The soldiers shouted again, and the castle that was originally shrouded in night was filled with countless fire sticks, illuminating the castle brightly.

The smell of meat was blowing with the wind, from the castle to the barracks of the Iris soldiers below.

In the middle of the night, Andrew didn't go to sleep either.

How could there be a meaty smell on Castle Hill? Could it be that Baron Harmon is rewarding soldiers, boosting morale, preparing for a surprise attack, or a counterattack.

Andrew was surprised, this was the first time he encountered such a situation, in order to be cautious, he called all the Iris officers from each barracks.

After a while, the camp was full of people. Iris officers were wearing plain clothes, sleepy and unable to open their eyes.

"Master Andrew, why did you call us here so late? Are you going to launch a general attack tonight?"

~bang~
Andrew's giant hand slapped the table, and the sound made the Iris officers wake up instantly.

"Don't you see that the castle of Baron Harmon is as bright as day? Don't you smell the smell of meat in the air? Every barracks, get ready for me. Don’t blame me for dismissing you from the south.”

Officer Iris Flower, who woke up, saluted again and again, promising.

"Master Andrew, don't worry, not even a fly can fly out of my barracks."

Under Andrew's order, the Iris soldiers guarded the three exits of Baron Harmon's castle, ready to meet the enemy at any time.

But there seemed to be no movement of the whole army in the castle, it seemed to be having a dinner party, and the smell of meat in the air kept attracting the gluttons in the stomachs of Iris soldiers.

Throughout the night, the fire sticks in the castle kept changing and burned all night, but Baron Harmon's soldiers did not move at all.

Just when Andrew thought it was the enemy's weary strategy, the gate of the castle suddenly opened.

After blowing in the cold wind all night, the boulder on the chest of Iris Soldier finally fell off from his chest, like a caterpillar dawdling at the entrance of a hole, like a vigorous volley from the corner of the door.

But then, things didn't go as they imagined.

Behind the city gate was not a neat formation, the knights and soldiers who were about to charge, after the soldiers opened the city gate, they threw down their spears and long knives, put their heads in their hands, and fell to their knees on the ground.

They surrendered before attacking.

Andrew was terrified in his heart, this could not be a trick used by the enemy to lure the enemy deeper.

Andrew, who led the army independently for the first time, seemed to be suffering from paranoia again, and any disturbance could remind him of various conspiracies and schemes.

But the soldiers of Baron Harmon's castle kept kneeling there after opening the gate. If one looked down from the air, one could see that they still kept their basic formation while kneeling.

It just changed from standing to kneeling.

"Iris soldiers accept the castle, take care of the soldiers who surrendered, and collect their weapons." Andrew ordered.

In this way, Baron Harmon's castle fell into the hands of the Iris infantry without a battle.

According to statistics, there were 57 knights and 210 infantry in Baron Harmon's castle. Except for a few who fell to their deaths, all of them surrendered unconditionally.

But then, they discovered that Baron Harmon had left last night.

Andrew called someone who was in charge of the castle, and the knight commander changed from armor to casual clothes and walked in.

"I heard that you are the knight commander of Baron Harmon. Why did you surrender without fighting?"

Andrew's tone was blunt, and it seemed that he still wanted to ask for guilt.

The knight commander showed a smile and replied: "My lord officer, I don't think we are enemies. We only have one common enemy, and that is the monster that eats people. At this moment of external and internal troubles, we should What we do is to unite instead of killing each other, so that these tauren and kobolds can benefit."

Andrew nodded slightly. This sentence is not bad, and he often heard the earl say that.What's the point of humans beating humans? It's interesting to kill those tauren and kobolds.

"When did Baron Harmon leave and where he went, explain clearly, and you can go."

"Thank you, officer. Baron Harmon left yesterday in the middle of the night. He walked through the south gate. It is said that he was going to join Earl Geithner." The knight commander quickly replied.
"Okay, let's go." Andrew waved his hand. At this moment, another person came into the hall suddenly. Looking at his expression, the knight commander guessed that it was not a good thing. He stretched his legs and slipped away in a hurry.

"What happened?" Andrew looked at the person who walked in puzzled.

"Master Andrew, there is no more meat in the castle, only some grain left." The guard reported truthfully. When the knight commander heard that there was no meat, he raised his heels and ran at a fast pace, keeping a little distance away so that he could not hear After the sound of entering, the two legs turned into scuds, which disappeared after a while.

"How could this be? Such a big castle has no meat at all. Isn't this a joke?" Andrew looked at the guard curiously.

The guard explained: "Last night, the soldiers in Baron Harmon's castle walked and ate meat all night, so they ate up all the meat in the castle."

"You mean that the candlelight last night was just for their convenience." Andrew blushed a little, and said embarrassingly, he was like a clown yesterday, foolishly guarding against the assault of Baron Harmon's soldiers, but in the end he was caught Inform them that they are just having a campfire dinner.

This is really deceptive.

"Go ahead, the knight commander just called, I want to clean him up."
