For them, I believe in superior firepower

Chapter 78 Sudden news of death (read more, it's very important, please!!!))

At the same time, the rebel camp.

After Irene and Mendes left at the same time, there were only four elders left in the camp.

Sheard, Riemann, Mickon, Coron.

Among them, Mikorn is in charge of armaments, never leads troops, and has no combat effectiveness.

Among the remaining people, Riemann was mostly responsible for training troops, and the number of times he went to the battlefield was also small.

As for Sheld and Kerong... no matter if you ask the soldiers in the barracks, you will get an answer that "Senior Kerong is very strict and scary, but also very reliable".

Relatively close, Sheld's affinity is higher, but the sense of reliability is not high.

Therefore, from the day when the reinforcements left the camp, Kerong took charge of patrolling and guarding the camp—after all, the current camp of the rebels was indeed empty of manpower.

It was snowing heavily, and the gray-bearded Ke Rong put his right hand on the hilt of his sword and walked slowly on the side wall of the camp.

Large flakes of snow fell on his beard, shoulders, and clothes, but this iron-blooded officer turned a blind eye to it.

He was followed by two personal guards holding muskets, other than that, there was no extra manpower.

"Old man, you have been patrolling the side wall for three hours, and it's time for the soldiers to eat." Seeing that Kerong's footsteps have been going on forever, a guard behind him finally couldn't bear it. Stop, "You also need to rest, so keep going..."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Ke Rong reprimanded calmly, "I can't go down because the soldiers are eating."

The personal guard was blocked by Kerong and couldn't speak, so he could only cast his eyes on the white world outside the camp wall with a little depression.

After staring at it for a while, he suddenly stopped and even rubbed his eyes.

"What's going on? You can't hold it anymore?" Noticing the abnormality of the guard behind him, Kerong stopped and turned around, looking at the guard with a little sternness.

As the bodyguards he personally selected, he certainly treated them very kindly.

If the personal guards were injured, and the situation was urgent, Ke Rong even sucked out the blood with his own mouth, and then bandaged them.

It is also true that after he lost to the local tyrants, these personal guards were able to follow him all the way to the rebel camp.

But the one thing Ke Rong hates the most in his life is that he doesn't try his best to do the task after it is given.

There is no shame in doing your best and then falling down.

But if you don't do your best, but want to retreat, that is what he hates the most.

"No, Elder." The guard repeatedly defended, "Look outside, there seems to be some movement!"

"There is movement..." Ke Rong frowned and looked in the direction pointed by the guard.

But for a moment, a group of people appeared in his sight.

The attire of this team is obviously the military uniform of the Rebel Army.

"Clancy is back?" Looking at the team in the distance, Keron frowned slightly, but he furrowed it quickly, and even ordered sternly, "Gather the soldiers immediately, no matter whether it's Clancy or not, right now Be vigilant!"

"Yes!" A personal guard immediately responded, and ran down the side wall in three steps at a time.

Keron, on the other hand, pressed his hands on the side wall like a statue, watching the distant team getting closer.

It's just that the closer the team got, the tighter his frown became.

Because the team doesn't look right.

Although the team led by Clancy may not be the strongest in the battalion, as a military aristocrat, he has some members brought from his family.

Therefore, when marching, it is more or less able to maintain a regular momentum.

But now this team...

According to Kerong's judgment, it doesn't need many cavalry, just fifty cavalry, one attack on this team is enough to break them up and defeat them one by one.

With growing doubts, he watched the procession come under the side wall.

"Elder Ke Rong, is that you?" A familiar voice came from below.

And hearing this voice, Ke Rong was more than just puzzled.

"Leod, where's Clancy? Why did the team look like this after you went to Icefield Town?!"

"Senior Clancy...he was assassinated and died!" Leonard's voice seemed to be exhausted with all his strength, and the sadness in it was so rich that it seemed real.

As for Kerong, although he was secretly startled after hearing the news, he cursed secretly in his heart.

It's not that Clancy couldn't die, and it doesn't mean the soldiers couldn't know the news.

But how many soldiers will be affected by this guy Leod yelling like this under the wall?

What will happen to the military spirit?

This idiot doesn't look like a commander at all!
Kerong cursed endlessly in his heart, but there was no trace of impatience on his face, and even his footsteps were still unhurried.

After getting off the side wall, he ordered his soldiers to open the gates, take up positions, and "welcome" the team to enter.

After a while, the door opened.

And the team that entered Kerong's sight can only be described as "destroyed".

But at this time, he no longer hesitated, and simply stepped forward to issue an order, "Leod, follow me to meet the other three elders, and the rest of the soldiers, temporarily rest in the designated area!"

In the past, they were defeated by tyrants, largely due to the appearance of traitors in the army.

And now, the first thing he has to do is to control these people so that they don't cause more trouble.

Even if it will lead to low morale.

"Yes..." Leod replied in a low voice, without any of the arrogance he had when facing Xia En earlier, "Senior Kerong, I have something to give you."

"What?" Ke Rong frowned, slightly holding the hilt of his sword with his right hand.

Until now, he still hadn't completely lost his doubts about Leod.

"This is it, the fragment of the map." Leod dug into his pocket for a while, and respectfully offered a fragment with both hands, "This is Lord Clancy's...relic."

"He had already successfully obtained this thing and was about to leave, but he didn't expect to..."

Leonard said no more.

"...Go see the elders first." Ke Rong sighed and didn't say anything else.

"Yes……"

……

A moment later, in the big tent of the camp.

"Leod, how did Clancy die? Tell me clearly!" Sheld grabbed Leonard's collar, looking furious.

"Master Clancy, he, he was attacked and killed by people from the Holy Cult." Leonard said intermittently, "We didn't have time to stop them..."

"A person of the holy religion?" Shield's subconscious stopped, and even let go.

"After all, I can't avoid it..." Riemann sighed, and his expression didn't look too sad.

He has seen similar killings a long time ago, and perhaps it should be said that he is used to it, or he should be called numb to it.

"How could people from the Holy Cult..."

"Report, elders, a knight of the Holy Order has appeared outside the side wall and is approaching rapidly!"

Before the words fell, a soldier from outside rushed in and shouted loudly.
