Chapter 104 Mysterious Allies
Chapter 104 Mysterious Allies
Norlu is a small town at the foot of Mount Horris. Due to its proximity to the Southern Avenue, convenient transportation has always made it very prosperous.More than a hundred kilometers to the east from Nuoerlu is Alesta, the main city of Ferris Land.
Since the Lulin Empire occupied the entire southern region, Nuurlu has become an important transit point on its logistics transportation line.Although the Southern Avenue has been harassed by the Death Squad recently, the constant military transport convoys still provide it with enough vitality.
Therefore, it is only natural for Sol and his party to appear here.
Recently, the guerrilla warfare of the pseudo-death regiment has been booming, and it continues to put pressure on the logistics line of the Lulin Army. It is rumored that the unlucky General Josie has been replaced, but the new chief of the gendarmerie still has nothing to do with them.Since the last time two Yeying members were killed, the large-scale suppression operation of the Gendarmerie Headquarters has come to a halt.
But during this period, there were also some problems within the dead group.First of all, although a lot of food was grabbed, all necessary seasonings, especially salt, were exhausted.After eating tasteless bread dryly for several days, Saul, who couldn't stand it, decided to go down the mountain to buy it.
Another problem is that they have been trapped in enemy territory for more than 2 months, but they have stayed on the mountain almost all the time and know nothing about the current progress of the war.Therefore, Sol also urgently needs to understand the latest situation in order to decide future countermeasures.
Although the current life makes him feel good, but the count of the dignified kingdom can't be a guerrilla in the ravine all his life, right?
Since this time he was just shopping and listening to information, Sol only brought Kress, Lesta, Yada, and two guards with him.Originally, he only wanted to take Kress down the mountain, but Lesta insisted on following him on the grounds that he was monitoring whether his brother-in-law would go to court.
The entire town of Nuoerlu is not big, but there is a mixed infantry brigade of the Lulin Army stationed there, and the defense can be said to be quite tight.Although it was during the war, business trips were not prohibited, so after the six of them entered the town, what they saw was a busy scene of traffic and people coming and going.
"I've inquired. There are several grocery stores on the North Street of the town. We should be able to buy the things we need there." After chatting with a passerby, Yada quickly gathered the information he needed.
"Kress, take Jeter and Lance to do it. Remember, leave as soon as you buy something, don't cause trouble, and we will meet here later." Saul ordered Kress.
"I see, the lord...no, the shopkeeper." Kress nodded yes.
The name "treasurer's" was what Sol insisted on calling them. Although Kress and others were confused about the meaning of this word, it did not hinder Sol's good self-feeling.Hmph, shopkeeper, no matter how you hear it, you have the feeling of a lone hero in disguise, going deep into the enemy's rear.
After Kress left, Sol looked around and took Lesta and Yada directly into the largest tavern in the town.
"Everything you asked for is here." The bartender served the last piece of roasted whole turkey with cherries, saluted and backed away.
"Hey hey..." Saul rubbed his hands excitedly looking at the dazzling array of delicacies on the table.
Although it hurts the image of our Lord Earl Sol, in fact, the main purpose of his decision to go deep into the risk this time is neither to buy necessities for life, nor to inquire about information, but just to... this table eats of.
Please, hiding in the mountains for more than two months, eating those few things over and over every day, no one can bear it, right?According to Li Kui's words, "The bird is almost fading out of my mouth." Now I dream of getting a good taste of meat, and I finally caught a chance to beat the teeth, how can I let it go?
"Then, I'm welcome." With a cheer, Sol reached out to grab the turkey.
Unexpectedly, before he touched the plate, a big fluffy hand descended from the sky, and then, while Sol was stunned, tore off a chicken leg from the skin to the bone.
"Well, this food is so delicious. I've been nesting in the mountains these days, and my mouth is almost fading out." Lista said vaguely as he wolfed down the chicken leg.
"Huh? Wait, that should be my line...".
"I knew this was a good opportunity for a toothbrush festival. Fortunately, I came down the mountain with you. It's better to be a brother-in-law. I know that I love you, and I will order so much food for me as soon as I come." Lesta spat out the chicken bones in his mouth. , and unceremoniously tore off another chicken leg.
"Wow, you haven't eaten for a few days? Are you in a hurry? Save some for me..." Seeing that if he didn't act, he might not even be able to catch the scum, Sol hurriedly reached out to grab it.
Immediately, a storm of grabbing food broke out on the table. Both of them put aside their shame at this moment, and used all kinds of unbearable means to compete for each other. The food on the plate was decreasing at a speed that was difficult for the naked eye.
"Heh heh heh, I really didn't see it, brother-in-law, you are also a master... If you don't want to die, just leave the fish to me... I really can't win you if I don't show my real skills."
"Hey hey, how can this little brother compare with big brother... You have gnawed on three pig's trotters, and this one is mine... I think you have eaten enough."
"Where is it, it's still early, brother-in-law, you stimulated my appetite... Ah, fuck, you actually spit on the plate."
"How? How? You bite me, now this plate of grilled steak is mine, you can eat it if you don't find it disgusting...You bastard, you really don't think it's disgusting?"
"Xixihuu...xixihuu...Am I still afraid that you won't succeed?"
"Ji Li Gu Lu... Chi Li Gu Lu... Then let's fight!"
All the other diners in the tavern stared at the table with their mouths gaping. It was hard to imagine that someone could eat so badly. Even Yada, who was at the side, turned his body unnaturally.
If the local Lulin garrison knew that the two thieves of the Go-to-death regiment, which had given them a lot of headaches for more than two months, were looking poor and grabbing food in the town at this moment, I don't know how they would feel.
After all, his physique is limited, and not long after, with a long belch, Sol was the first to lose.Holding his chubby belly, he leaned back in his chair with a satisfied face: "It's cool..."
"Ah, brother-in-law, can't you eat enough? It's a pity, I've just entered the state. You see, there are so many food, I'm really embarrassed to eat it all by myself." It seems that he intends to annoy Sol, Lesta Satisfied, he held up the food and dangled it in front of his eyes, and still clicked his tongue.
"Bastard..." Thor's forehead twitched with veins.
"Listen, shopkeeper." At this moment, Yada suddenly pulled him.
Sol's attention was diverted, following the direction suggested by Yada, he saw a few drinkers at the next table talking enthusiastically, and because they were not far away, the other party's conversation was clearly audible.
"Have you heard that the Death Regiment robbed several transport teams last week, and now the military police department of the Lulin Army has raised their reward to 30 gold coins." At this time, a man said.
Seeing that they actually mentioned him, Sol immediately pricked up his ears and listened.
"That group of people is really good. Don't look at those Lu Lin guys who are usually arrogant, but they can't do anything about them. I heard that as soon as the soldiers under escort see them, they don't even dare to resist and run away. , It’s really ridiculous.” Another man laughed.
"Shh, keep your voice down, be careful not to be heard by Lu Lin's people." A man hurriedly stopped him.
"Hmph, what are you afraid of? They have occupied our home, but they don't even allow us to speak?" The man looked disdainful, and deliberately raised his voice: "I just want to say that Lulin's soldiers are cowards. , even a gang of bandits can’t deal with it.”
His words made the tavern quiet for a while, and then there was a buzzing sound, and the people continued to talk and laugh loudly without changing their faces. It was obvious that the Lulin Empire was not popular here.
Listening to their tone, they were clearly dissatisfied with Lu Lin's aggression. Under Saul's gesture, Yada picked up a glass of beer and leaned over: "Good afternoon, everyone."
"Good afternoon." The men glanced at him and raised their glasses as a gesture.
"I'm from out of town. I just arrived in Ferrisland these few days. After listening to the conversation just now, it seems that there is a gang of robbers here. Aren't we travelers very dangerous?" Yada looked worried. asked.
The full-time job of Yeying troops is to assassinate, infiltrate, sabotage and collect intelligence. Now it is commonplace for Yada to get close to people like this to get information.
Sure enough, those people had no doubts at all, the man who spoke earlier said: "You don't have to worry about this, the dead group specializes in robbing Lulin's transport convoy, but they never attack ordinary passengers, especially us Dinar people. You are going to Wherever you go, feel free to go boldly."
"Really, there is such a bandit group?" Yada was "surprised".
The man said sternly: "They are the pride of all our Dinar people. When the enemy came, those useless lords surrendered without even resisting. Everyone had already lost their fighting spirit, but who knew where to take the risk?" Such a group of heroes came out, and their behavior is really gratifying."
As he spoke, he lowered his voice and said, "Many people who are determined to resist now follow their example. If there are more people like this, the Lulin invaders will be driven out sooner or later."
I didn't expect my actions out of boredom to win such a good reputation among the people. Sol couldn't help but feel very proud. Being a robber and being so popular as me is unprecedented, right?
"Since they are such a group of good guys, I'm relieved. Thank you guys for telling me the news. I've invited this round of wine." Yada signaled the boss to serve each of the men a glass of wine.
Amidst the thanks of those people, Yada returned to Sol, and at this time Sol's attention was shifted to another table.
Sitting at that table were a few tall and powerful mercenaries, maybe because they were too drunk, they talked and laughed loudly as if no one was there, the voice was so loud that he could hear it clearly without turning his head.
"Monk, how's the business going?" A mercenary was talking at this moment.
The one-eyed mercenary named Monk took a sip of ale, sighed, and said, "Don't mention it, there's been so much chaos recently, there's no business coming in, I finally took a mission a while ago, and only earned 500 fucking gold coins. If this continues, I will starve to death sooner or later."
"You've done the math, and there are still gold coins in the account. I haven't worked for several months, and I'm about to spend all my savings. What should I do?" Another mercenary said with a sad face.
"Why don't you go to the north? There are still many territories that have not been occupied. I heard that many people are fleeing because of fear of war. The business there is still good." A mercenary asked him.
"It's not that easy." The first mercenary snorted: "General Pintat's coalition army was defeated in World War I, and now the entire northern part of the kingdom is wide open. I heard that Lulin's army plans to build a military camp in the Ruhr Territory." Fortress, turn the focus of the attack to the north. There will definitely be wars everywhere, so it’s better to stay here to be safer, even if you starve to death, it’s better than dying in the chaos.”
The other mercenaries all nodded: "It's true, although making money is important, it's not as important as living."
Hearing them mention the war in the north, Saul and Yada immediately focused their attention.It seems that the attack on the camp that night really completely defeated the coalition forces. Hearing that Lulin was planning to attack the north on a large scale, Sol couldn't help but worry about his territory.
I was planning to hear more information from them, but these mercenaries changed the subject and began to drunkenly recall their past scenery, and even quarreled when they spoke fiercely.
"That year when I participated in an escort mission, I met a tribe of ogres. The entire mercenary group was wiped out except for me. In terms of danger, who can compare to that time?" At this time, a mercenary snorted angrily. road.
His words immediately attracted a burst of ridicule: "Come on, how many years have passed, and you are still bragging."
"Who's bragging!" the mercenary said angrily, "Do you have experience comparable to mine?"
At this moment, the mercenary named Monk suddenly said: "Speaking of a dangerous experience, I just experienced it not long ago."
"Oh? What's going on, let's hear it." The others immediately asked.
Looking up and drinking the wine in the glass, Monk said slowly: "It's the mission I did a while ago. That time I escorted some goods from Lamo to the city of Alesta in Ferris. When I was camping halfway at night, I was suddenly awakened by some strange noises."
"What is it? A monster? Or Lulin's night watch soldier?" A mercenary asked nervously.
"Neither." Monk shook his head: "I thought it was a robber at the time, so I got up carefully and prepared to see what happened. I followed the sound and walked through a forest, but I saw..."
This man seemed to know the storytelling skills very well. He deliberately paused when he said this, not only the appetites of those mercenaries were whetted, but even Sol, who was listening to him, was also aroused.
"What did you see?" Several mercenaries asked impatiently.
Only then did Monk hey: "I saw a group of cavalry."
"Che, I thought you were going to say something." Several people all showed disappointment: "Now there is no army in the whole southern territory, it must be some Lulin patrol team?"
"None." Monk shook his head, suddenly lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "The people I saw were all wearing Dinar's military uniform."
"What!?" A mercenary exclaimed in disbelief, "That's La Moling, thousands of kilometers away from the front line. How could there be Dinar's army?"
Another mercenary guessed: "Could it be that the king is secretly launching a counterattack and has quietly pushed the army to Lamo?"
"Hmph, I think you're drinking too much and you're just dreaming." The third mercenary snorted.
Monk said triumphantly: "Neither. It was neither my dream nor the king's counterattack. It was indeed a cavalry of Dinard. What really surprised me was that they were wearing the uniform of the Northern Legion. I have been to Broken Sword Gorge Fortress, so you can never make a mistake.”
"The cavalry of the Northern Legion?" Several mercenaries looked at each other in blank dismay: "Didn't the Northern Legion be defeated in the Ruhr Territory? How could someone come to the Ramo Territory?"
On this side, Sol and Yada, who were listening attentively, glanced at each other, eager to know what was going on.
Seeing Monk shook his head: "Who knows. I was taken aback at the time. If it weren't for the real people, I would have thought I had hit a ghost in the middle of the night. You know, I am alone after all, no matter what I don't want to draw their attention to whichever army the opponent is, so after confirming that it is not a robber, I am ready to leave."
Speaking of this, he showed a lingering expression on his face: "Damn it, because I was too scared, I made the lowest mistake and was discovered by them. You know, in a moonlight night, a group of murderous people The cavalry surrounds you, no one speaks, only the fully armored horses spray their breath on your face, their eyes are like hungry wolves staring at their prey, everyone's epee emits bloody breath..."
Under his vivid narration, the breathing of several other mercenaries also became heavier, as if they were not in a safe tavern, but returned to that terrible night just like the narrator.
"What about later?" A mercenary swallowed.
Munch habitually took a sip of the wine glass, only to find that the bottom of the glass was empty, he said: "At that time, I thought I was going to die, hey, I'm not afraid of your jokes, if I hadn't just urinated before, maybe I would Wet my pants. But they just looked at me silently, and then one of the boys said something, and in an instant, everyone turned their horses and disappeared like a whirlwind."
"They... just left like this?" A mercenary asked suspiciously, in his opinion, it seemed that something else should happen.
Munch nodded: "Yeah, I just left. I still can't figure out why they let me go. Maybe it's the god Dinisos who is blessing me."
A mercenary said: "Why have you never heard of this?"
Monk curled his lips: "Although I, Monk, are afraid of death and cowardly, I am not an ungrateful person. No matter what the reason for those cavalrymen to appear in Lamor, it must be to resist the Lulin people. They spared my life." , How can I go around to promote this matter?"
"Yes, Monk is right, no one is allowed to speak about this matter from now on." A mercenary said quickly.
After listening to them, Saul and Yada also withdrew their attention.At this time, both of them were very surprised. It had been so long since the defeat of the Ruhrland, how could there be a cavalry from the Northern Legion so far away from the front line?If that Munch wasn't bragging, it's definitely an unbelievably weird thing
But compared to this, there is something more important for Sol to worry about, that is, the Lulin Empire is preparing to attack the north of Dinar.If the opponent really sends troops, with Lovell's strength, I am afraid that it will soon become an enemy-occupied area.
Understanding Sol's worry, Yada walked around the tavern with a glass of wine, but was unable to find out more information.All they know is that the fortress in the Ruhrland is under construction, that the Lulin Empire is gathering troops, or that the price of goods has continued to be high recently, and other nonsense.
Generally speaking, all the information shows that the current situation in the Kingdom of Dinar is extremely serious.
"Damn, it seems that I really made a wrong bet at the beginning. I knew that Pintat would lose so quickly, and I wouldn't do any 'Qin Wang' if I was killed." Sol really regretted it at this time.
But now that he is trapped in the enemy's line, it is useless to say more, so let's quickly find a way to return to Lovell.In this way, even if the territory is captured by Lu Lin's army, he doesn't have to end up crying thousands of kilometers away.
Just when Sol was thinking wildly and having a headache, Lesta patted him on the shoulder: "They're back."
Sol looked up and saw Kress and two guards, each carrying a swollen bag, looking around the door of the tavern.Seeing Lesta waving, the three of them immediately walked towards this side.
"Have you got anything?" Saul asked, gesturing them to sit down.
Kress nodded: "It took a lot of money, but I finally got it."
"That's good, we've also heard a lot of things here, although it's all bad news." Sol hummed.
"I heard that Lulin's army plans to study in Ruhr..." Yada was about to explain to Kress.
"Wait!" Kress suddenly stopped drinking.
"Huh?" Surprised, several people immediately looked around vigilantly.
"What's going on? Have you been spotted by the enemy?" Yada asked nervously. Before he left, he was entrusted by Chip to protect Sol personally, but at this moment he didn't see any clues.
"These plates..." I saw Kress staring solemnly at the dishes on the table that hadn't been taken away: "From these traces..."
"How does it look?" Sol and Lesta, who ate the most, trembled in their hearts, wondering if the food was secretly poisoned?
Kress gently swiped his fingers between the bowls and plates, with an awe-inspiring look on his face: "Judging from the soup left in this bowl, this is lamb chops stewed with mushrooms; these bones are obviously from turkey, um …with cherry pits, it should be the famous dish cherry roasted whole turkey; this kind of meat residue can only be left after cutting the meat half-rare with a sharp knife, then this should be charcoal-grilled steak!"
As he said that, he looked at Sol with a pitiful face: "Isn't it fair for you to eat so many delicious things behind my back?"
Plop!Everyone fell under the table.
"Boss, order another one as I just ordered." Sol struggled to get up from the bottom of the table and shouted at the top of his voice.
*
"Ahaha, I'm so happy, I haven't had such a good meal in more than two months." An hour later, Kress and the two guards walked out of the tavern with satisfied expressions.
Sol felt that the corners of his eyes had been twitching. Due to the war, he hadn't been out of the mountain for more than two months, but he didn't know that the prices outside had risen to a ridiculous level.When he was paying the bill, he realized that these two meals cost him 2 gold coins. No wonder the tavern owner smiled so happily.
Due to the haste of running away that night, almost all the axle loads were left behind, and everyone only brought a few gold dinars. As a result, after buying the necessities for the dental festival today, they actually spent seven or eighty eight.
Now the cottage has almost no money other than the hundreds of thousands of Lulin gold coins it has snatched, and the money is too hot to handle, so Sol has to return to the state of zero funds again.
Looking at Kress who still patted his stomach and called him cool, Sol secretly hated: "If you eat you to death, you really don't know how expensive you are." But he obviously forgot who ate the first meal first.
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu like being a robber, my life is so miserable.Sol's heart bleeds when he thinks that his plan to secretly go down the mountain to eat alone in the future has been shattered.He was even thinking about selling some loot to raise money.
At this moment, several people were walking towards the outside of the town, when suddenly there was a commotion in front of them, and many residents flocked to somewhere.Remembering that one of the purposes of coming this time was to gather as much information as possible, so they also followed.
A wooden plank was erected on a certain open space in the town. Some Lulin soldiers held spears and separated a circle around the wooden plank to keep the townspeople out.Several men who looked like clerks were pasting notices on the wooden boards, which seemed to be arrest warrants.
After the notice was posted, an officer who had been sitting next to him stood up: "I am Bayer, the captain of the mixed infantry brigade guarding the local area. I called everyone here today to ask some questions."
As he said that, he slapped the notice on the wooden board with his backhand: "I think everyone knows that recently a group of bold thieves known as the Death Regiment frequently attacked our transport convoy, causing great losses to the empire. Due to the enemy's cunning , we have not caught them so far."
"What's even worse is that some bold people who are dissatisfied with the rule of the empire actually use them as an example and try to resist us. Now I declare that anyone who provides clues about them will be rewarded by the empire!"
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the two soldiers immediately moved a box, and when the lid was opened, all the people present exclaimed, it was full of yellow gold dinar coins.
Bayer grabbed a handful of gold coins and let them slide from his fingertips. The splashed gold coins made a seductive voiceless sound.He looked around and said loudly: "How about it, does anyone want this money?"
The surrounding townspeople looked at each other, but no one spoke.Bayer asked again loudly, but still no one answered.He said disappointedly: "It turns out that they are all cowards. Even if the money is in front of them, no one has the guts to take it."
The faces of the townspeople were all angry, but because of the dangling weapons in the hands of the guarding soldiers, they could only dare to be angry but did not dare to speak.
To tell the truth, Saul really wanted the money, he was desperately poor.But you can't sell yourself, can you?So he can only look at the gold coins in the box with admiration.
Bayer laughed and said, "I know some of you must know something, but it's not convenient to stand up for some reason. It doesn't matter, I will wait for your arrival at the police station in the town. Anyone who can provide anything of value People with intelligence will be rewarded accordingly.”
Unexpectedly, at this moment, I suddenly heard a rough voice saying: "I have something to say."
In an instant, the eyes of all around immediately shot at Sol and his party. Only then did Sol realize that it was Lesta who spoke just now.
"Brother, what do you want?" It's not a good feeling to be the target of public criticism, especially when all these gazes contain contempt and hostility.
"You don't want that much money?" Lesta didn't realize it.
"I think so, but..." Saul was in a hurry, you are not so shameless, are you?
Bayerha slapped his chin: "It turns out that there are still brave people, you, come here."
At this time, it was too late to stop, Sol could only watch Lesta walk past.
Looking Lesta up and down, Bayer said, "What do you want to tell me?"
Lesta scratched his head: "Don't you want to know the news about going to the death group? I just know a little bit."
Hearing what he said, Sol and the others all looked at each other in blank dismay, wouldn't Lista really lose his mind and go crazy?
Bayer was overjoyed when he heard that, he didn't expect that the first informant could provide such valuable information, he quickly said: "Quickly tell me, what do you know?"
"Can I really take those gold coins?" Lesta asked.
"Of course, can I still lie in front of so many people? Come on, what do you know about the death group?" Bayer waved his hand impatiently.
"Actually..." Lesta suddenly leaned forward: "I'm just going to die."
"What?" Bayer asked instinctively.
What happened next took everyone by surprise.
"Grandpa, I'm the one you're looking for!" Lesta yelled into his ear.
Just when Bayer was dizzy from the shock, Lesta pulled out his saber and cut off the head of the unlucky captain.
Gudong... The head fell to the ground, there was a moment of silence, and then everyone burst into terrified shouts.
"Wahhahaha, the gang of heroes is here, if you want to catch me, just come here." Lesta kicked Bayer's body away and laughed.
At this time, the scene was already in chaos, and the terrified townspeople ran around like chickens without their heads, and there were figures scurrying everywhere.The surrounding guards tried their best to push away the crowd and surrounded Lesta.
Two guards finally broke through the crowd and swung their swords to kill Celesta.Unexpectedly, they had only rushed a few steps, and two shiny throwing knives had appeared in their throats, and they fell to the ground dying of breath.
"My lord, let's leave quickly." Yada calmly said to Sol with a turn of his wrist and threw two daggers again.
"Brother, what are you doing?" Sol asked Lesta angrily.
"Happy, brother-in-law." Lesta waved his sword and laughed, looking like a gangster: "It's been a long time since I've been so happy, let's kill his mother."
Knowing that he has entered the bandit mode now, it doesn't make sense, so Sol had no choice but to say to Kress: "Kress, you are responsible for pulling the elder brother away, and the others will open the way for us to kill!"
While speaking, he waved his hand, calling out the snake demon Xiaomei who hadn't been used for a long time.
Due to the weapons control implemented by the Lulin occupation army, except for Yada's close-fitting dagger, no one else was armed.Kress knocked down a guard with a single punch, snatched his long sword and turned and cut down a man, while two other guards also grabbed the weapon.
Probably because of being suppressed for too long, surrounded by the enemy, Lesta swung his sword wildly with excitement on his face. For a moment, his appearance like a mad tiger frightened the Lulin soldiers.
Hacking a soldier with a tomahawk, he finally snatched the weapon in hand.Turning the huge battle ax between his wrists, Lesta turned back and rushed towards the enemy group with big strides: "Aha, come up if you are not afraid of death."
Just when he was about to kill all directions happily, Lesta hugged him from behind: "Stop playing, let's run away."
"Kressa, let me go, I want to let these guys know how good we are at killing gangs." He was in the mood, how could Lesta listen?
In desperation, Kress had no choice but to say: "If you don't leave, I will tell Kafir after returning to Lovell, your behavior today almost killed the lord."
Lesta is not afraid of the sky or the earth, but only her precious sister.Hearing Kress's words, a look of horror flashed in his eyes. Although he muttered "I don't have it", he turned around under his feet.
At this time, a group of Lulin soldiers who were on duty nearby had heard the news and came, but because the rushing crowd could not approach for a while, if they waited for the large group of people stationed in the town to come, they would be unable to leave even if they wanted to.
Under Sol's command, the snake monster Xiaomei and two defenders led the way, Yada guarded him closely, and Kress broke up with Lesta, and a group of six rushed out of the town.
The power of high-level monsters should not be underestimated. All Lulin soldiers who tried to stop them were blown away by the strong snake tail, and the sky was filled with figures flying around, and there was no single enemy.
The two defenders firmly protected the flanks, and all the enemies who tried to sneak over were sent away by them and Yada's throwing knives.In addition, the two evil stars Kress and Lesta were broken, and after paying the price of several lives, the enemy no longer dared to approach.
The mixed infantry brigade stationed in Nuoerlu Town was considered to be a fairly powerful unit in the Lulin Army, but it was completely at a disadvantage in the face of this group of bandits with only a few men.Under the strong attack of the opponent, they could only form a circle far away and move with the movement of Sol and others.
On this side, Lesta ran a few steps, then suddenly turned around and rushed under the board, and carried the box of gold coins that was still on the ground on his shoulders.
Kress was shocked: "What are you doing?"
The Lulin army chasing behind thought they had an opportunity, and immediately swarmed towards Lista.In desperation, Kress had no choice but to follow and kill the opponent, chopping the other party to pieces.
"I don't know what time it is, are you still in the mood to grab money?" Kress yelled angrily as he stood behind Lesta.
"In our line of business, if you make a move, there's no reason for it to fail. Now that I'm handicapped, I'll leave it to you later." Lesta acted as if it was a matter of course.
Kress: Hey, what line are you talking about...
At this time Sol in front turned his head: "Brother, well done."
Complacently, he winked at Kress, and Lesta followed up with the gold coins on his shoulders.Kress sighed, swept away thousands of troops and knocked out several people with one move, and took over the important task of the queen.
Caught off guard, and Bayer was killed and no one was in charge, the Lu Lin army at the scene could hardly stop the crowd. Before the opponent fully reacted, the group rushed to the entrance of the town smoothly.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of horseshoes in front of them, and more than a dozen cavalry rushed towards them on horseback.Although the number of opponents was small, the horseshoes of the galloping horses hit the ground heavily, and the thunderous roar still made people feel stagnant.
"Xiaomei, use a bow and arrow!" At this moment, it was no longer possible to forcefully charge, and Sol immediately shouted.
Xiaomei, who opened the way in front, stopped abruptly, and while standing cross-legged, she had already drawn out her bone bow.With the humming sound of the bowstring trembling, the bone arrow pierced through the chest of the cavalry at the forefront in an instant. The huge momentum made him fall backwards, and the horse under his crotch was even more terrified. And rise.
These are not heavy cavalry for combat, but reconnaissance light cavalry attached to the mixed infantry brigade. Neither man nor horse has armor, and they have no power to parry against Xiaomei's powerful long-range attack power.
Unexpectedly, the monster on the opposite side was so fierce, and the cavalry, who were originally imposing, couldn't help but pause a little.In this moment, another cavalryman was killed by a bone arrow, and another was killed by Yada's dagger.
Due to the narrow entrance of the town, these cavalrymen were somewhat unable to use their skills. In addition, the first few cavalrymen were shot, and the horses dragging the knight's corpse helplessly circled in place, immediately blocking the cavalry behind them, and turning them into The living target of Xiaomei and Yada.
During the period, some cavalrymen tried to fight back with the short bows they carried, but all the arrows shot were easily pushed aside by Xiaomei.After paying the price of killing and injuring a few more people, the remaining cavalry turned their horses and ran away knowingly.
"Quickly, hold the horse." Seeing the enemy retreat, Saul quickly ordered.
The two guards immediately went up to lead the horse. At this time, due to the delay just now, the enemies behind surrounded him, and Kress, who was alone, was under great pressure.Fortunately, his swordsmanship has improved rapidly during these days. Although he doesn't use the iron lump in his hand, he still has the posture of one man guarding the gate and ten thousand men not opening.
The situation at this time was that although the cavalry in front had been routed, a large number of enemies had poured in from behind and surrounded Kress in groups.And some Lulin soldiers also tried to outflank and go up from the side, because the two guards gathered their horses in front, and there was no one to take care of the flanks for a while.
What made people even more anxious was that there was a faint sound of heavy footsteps coming from both ends of the town at this time, which was also mixed with the muffled sound of steel armor moving. It was obvious that the main force of the enemy had already rushed to this side.If the opponent with heavy armored infantry arrives, then no one will be able to leave.
In the critical situation, Sol's mind seemed to be spinning very fast, and he repeatedly ordered: "Brother, put the box on the horse. Xiaomei, you clean up the enemies coming from the side. Yada, you go and help Kress get out. "
Without any hesitation, the two and one beast immediately dispersed. Sol looked around and ran towards the two guards who were holding the horse.
Unexpectedly, before running a few steps, a Lulin soldier rushed over. It just happened that Sol was the only one in the center of the formation at this time, and the two sides immediately met face to face.
Soldiers in Lulin have been paying attention to Saul since just now. This wretched-looking guy is protected by everyone. He has never seen him make a move.
So without any hesitation, he slashed off with his sword as soon as the two met, and didn't even let Sol use his tried and tested life-saving expertise - nonsense.
Encountering such a guy who won't give you a chance to speak, Sol can only complain secretly.He lowered his head to avoid the sword, but the sole of his foot was hooked, and he immediately fell to the ground with all four feet in the air.
As soon as he stepped on Sol's chest, the Lulin soldiers stabbed him condescendingly with their swords raised.At this time, everyone was a few meters away, and rescue was too late, and Sol couldn't help but be out of his wits, and now he was dead.
At this critical juncture, there was a muffled sound of piercing the air, and the enemy soldier suddenly seemed to be hit by something heavy, and he flew sideways violently. Half.
"Brother-in-law, what are you still doing in a daze, come here quickly." Lesta's yell came from Sol's ear.
Only then did he realize that the one who saved him was the ax thrown by Leesta.Not daring to delay any longer, he quickly got up from the ground and ran over.
At this time, the two guards had managed to calm the six horses and threw away the corpses hanging from the stirrups.Yada also successfully helped Kress escape, and the two ran towards this side.
"Xiaomei, cut off the queen! The others get on the horse." Sol shouted.
After cleaning up the flanking enemies, the snake demon immediately greeted the pursuers behind. When Kress and Yada passed by her, Xiaomei suddenly became angry, and the thick snake tail twitched left and right, and the chasing enemy Immediately messed up.
At this time, the enemy army who came to reinforce them had arrived nearby, and the archers who entered the position the fastest were firing their arrows, but it was difficult to attack because their own soldiers were fighting with Sol and the others.
The remaining light infantry and spearmen ran towards this side at the fastest speed, and the slower heavy armored infantry fell behind, but it didn't take long for them to surround them.
"Hurry up, get on the horse." Under Sol's repeated urging, everyone got on the horse.
At this time, the enemy army behind was completely blocked by Xiaomei. Even if it was a high-level monster, her beautiful body was covered with scars after so many people hacked and stabbed her indiscriminately.
Unexpectedly, at this time when the chaos was getting worse, the townspeople who were far away also came to join in the fun.They yelled at this side from a distance: "Go to hell, good job." "Show these Lulin bastards a little color." "We will always support you."...
Even residents on both sides of the street opened their windows and joined in the solidarity.All of a sudden, the enemy roared and the townspeople screamed ghostly, which actually brought a hint of comedy to this tragic battlefield.
"Hahaha, thank you very much, we are the legendary death squad, please ask for more support in the future..." Lesta triumphantly clasped his fists and saluted in all directions.
"Support you, hurry up and go!" Saul kicked his horse's ass angrily.
"Oh, my waist... Folks, we will continue to work hard." Amid the painful neighing of the war horse, Lesta took the lead and rushed out of the town.
"Haha, really happy!" I don't know if it was affected by the atmosphere of the scene, Kress and the others also let out a cheer, and pulled up their horses to follow.
The six people quickly fled to the entrance of the town, and there were cheers and whistles from the townspeople behind them.
When he arrived at the entrance of the town, Sol turned around from his horse and grabbed Xiaomei from a distance, and took it back in a white light.After being stunned for a moment, the enemy immediately swarmed after him.
Outside the town of Nuoerlu, there is a lookout tower built simply with logs. Due to the chaos just now, the sentries on it have long since disappeared.As he rode across the watchtower, Kress drew his sword and quickly slashed a few times on the rope tied with wood at the bottom.
The rope broke, and the bundled brackets fell apart. The tower shook a few times, and then began to tilt with a creaking sound of friction.
At this time, the Lulin soldiers who rushed to the front just ran to the entrance of the town, when they heard a loud bang, the sentry tower fell to the ground, and the logs tied together were completely dispersed due to the impact, and smoke and dust were everywhere in an instant , The thick wood fell in all directions, completely closing the front.
It took a long time for the dust to dissipate slowly, and the entire entrance of the town was blocked by a pile of logs piled up in disorder.The Lulin soldiers looked at each other in blank dismay, where was the shadow of the Qusi Regiment?
In the next few days, the legendary story of the Qusi Group making a big fuss in Nuoerlu and killing the captain of the Lulin Army quickly spread throughout the entire southern avenue as if they had grown wings, pushing their reputation to a new peak.
Now this bandit group has become a hero in the hearts of the people in the southern occupied area of Dinar, and of course it has become a thorn in the side of the Lulin military.More and more resistance organizations followed the example of the Qusi group and launched a vigorous resistance movement against the invaders, so that the "Norlu tragedy" (this is the official statement of Lulin, as for the people of Dinar, it is called "Norlu tragedy") In the week following the occurrence of the "Norlu Glory Day"), all the occupied areas of Lulin in Dinar were on fire, which really kept the garrisons busy for a while.
However, the instigator of all this, the Qusi Group, knew nothing about it, and they are currently feeling a headache for the crazy suppression operation of the Lulin Gendarmerie Headquarters in a rage.
As for Saul, he didn't have time to mind outside business.At present, our lord earl who has fallen into the grass is nestled in the warehouse all day, counting hundreds of thousands of Lulin gold coins, and counting hundreds of thousands of denar gold coins.
It's nice to be a bandit... no, it's nice to be a guerrilla.
(End of this chapter)
Norlu is a small town at the foot of Mount Horris. Due to its proximity to the Southern Avenue, convenient transportation has always made it very prosperous.More than a hundred kilometers to the east from Nuoerlu is Alesta, the main city of Ferris Land.
Since the Lulin Empire occupied the entire southern region, Nuurlu has become an important transit point on its logistics transportation line.Although the Southern Avenue has been harassed by the Death Squad recently, the constant military transport convoys still provide it with enough vitality.
Therefore, it is only natural for Sol and his party to appear here.
Recently, the guerrilla warfare of the pseudo-death regiment has been booming, and it continues to put pressure on the logistics line of the Lulin Army. It is rumored that the unlucky General Josie has been replaced, but the new chief of the gendarmerie still has nothing to do with them.Since the last time two Yeying members were killed, the large-scale suppression operation of the Gendarmerie Headquarters has come to a halt.
But during this period, there were also some problems within the dead group.First of all, although a lot of food was grabbed, all necessary seasonings, especially salt, were exhausted.After eating tasteless bread dryly for several days, Saul, who couldn't stand it, decided to go down the mountain to buy it.
Another problem is that they have been trapped in enemy territory for more than 2 months, but they have stayed on the mountain almost all the time and know nothing about the current progress of the war.Therefore, Sol also urgently needs to understand the latest situation in order to decide future countermeasures.
Although the current life makes him feel good, but the count of the dignified kingdom can't be a guerrilla in the ravine all his life, right?
Since this time he was just shopping and listening to information, Sol only brought Kress, Lesta, Yada, and two guards with him.Originally, he only wanted to take Kress down the mountain, but Lesta insisted on following him on the grounds that he was monitoring whether his brother-in-law would go to court.
The entire town of Nuoerlu is not big, but there is a mixed infantry brigade of the Lulin Army stationed there, and the defense can be said to be quite tight.Although it was during the war, business trips were not prohibited, so after the six of them entered the town, what they saw was a busy scene of traffic and people coming and going.
"I've inquired. There are several grocery stores on the North Street of the town. We should be able to buy the things we need there." After chatting with a passerby, Yada quickly gathered the information he needed.
"Kress, take Jeter and Lance to do it. Remember, leave as soon as you buy something, don't cause trouble, and we will meet here later." Saul ordered Kress.
"I see, the lord...no, the shopkeeper." Kress nodded yes.
The name "treasurer's" was what Sol insisted on calling them. Although Kress and others were confused about the meaning of this word, it did not hinder Sol's good self-feeling.Hmph, shopkeeper, no matter how you hear it, you have the feeling of a lone hero in disguise, going deep into the enemy's rear.
After Kress left, Sol looked around and took Lesta and Yada directly into the largest tavern in the town.
"Everything you asked for is here." The bartender served the last piece of roasted whole turkey with cherries, saluted and backed away.
"Hey hey..." Saul rubbed his hands excitedly looking at the dazzling array of delicacies on the table.
Although it hurts the image of our Lord Earl Sol, in fact, the main purpose of his decision to go deep into the risk this time is neither to buy necessities for life, nor to inquire about information, but just to... this table eats of.
Please, hiding in the mountains for more than two months, eating those few things over and over every day, no one can bear it, right?According to Li Kui's words, "The bird is almost fading out of my mouth." Now I dream of getting a good taste of meat, and I finally caught a chance to beat the teeth, how can I let it go?
"Then, I'm welcome." With a cheer, Sol reached out to grab the turkey.
Unexpectedly, before he touched the plate, a big fluffy hand descended from the sky, and then, while Sol was stunned, tore off a chicken leg from the skin to the bone.
"Well, this food is so delicious. I've been nesting in the mountains these days, and my mouth is almost fading out." Lista said vaguely as he wolfed down the chicken leg.
"Huh? Wait, that should be my line...".
"I knew this was a good opportunity for a toothbrush festival. Fortunately, I came down the mountain with you. It's better to be a brother-in-law. I know that I love you, and I will order so much food for me as soon as I come." Lesta spat out the chicken bones in his mouth. , and unceremoniously tore off another chicken leg.
"Wow, you haven't eaten for a few days? Are you in a hurry? Save some for me..." Seeing that if he didn't act, he might not even be able to catch the scum, Sol hurriedly reached out to grab it.
Immediately, a storm of grabbing food broke out on the table. Both of them put aside their shame at this moment, and used all kinds of unbearable means to compete for each other. The food on the plate was decreasing at a speed that was difficult for the naked eye.
"Heh heh heh, I really didn't see it, brother-in-law, you are also a master... If you don't want to die, just leave the fish to me... I really can't win you if I don't show my real skills."
"Hey hey, how can this little brother compare with big brother... You have gnawed on three pig's trotters, and this one is mine... I think you have eaten enough."
"Where is it, it's still early, brother-in-law, you stimulated my appetite... Ah, fuck, you actually spit on the plate."
"How? How? You bite me, now this plate of grilled steak is mine, you can eat it if you don't find it disgusting...You bastard, you really don't think it's disgusting?"
"Xixihuu...xixihuu...Am I still afraid that you won't succeed?"
"Ji Li Gu Lu... Chi Li Gu Lu... Then let's fight!"
All the other diners in the tavern stared at the table with their mouths gaping. It was hard to imagine that someone could eat so badly. Even Yada, who was at the side, turned his body unnaturally.
If the local Lulin garrison knew that the two thieves of the Go-to-death regiment, which had given them a lot of headaches for more than two months, were looking poor and grabbing food in the town at this moment, I don't know how they would feel.
After all, his physique is limited, and not long after, with a long belch, Sol was the first to lose.Holding his chubby belly, he leaned back in his chair with a satisfied face: "It's cool..."
"Ah, brother-in-law, can't you eat enough? It's a pity, I've just entered the state. You see, there are so many food, I'm really embarrassed to eat it all by myself." It seems that he intends to annoy Sol, Lesta Satisfied, he held up the food and dangled it in front of his eyes, and still clicked his tongue.
"Bastard..." Thor's forehead twitched with veins.
"Listen, shopkeeper." At this moment, Yada suddenly pulled him.
Sol's attention was diverted, following the direction suggested by Yada, he saw a few drinkers at the next table talking enthusiastically, and because they were not far away, the other party's conversation was clearly audible.
"Have you heard that the Death Regiment robbed several transport teams last week, and now the military police department of the Lulin Army has raised their reward to 30 gold coins." At this time, a man said.
Seeing that they actually mentioned him, Sol immediately pricked up his ears and listened.
"That group of people is really good. Don't look at those Lu Lin guys who are usually arrogant, but they can't do anything about them. I heard that as soon as the soldiers under escort see them, they don't even dare to resist and run away. , It’s really ridiculous.” Another man laughed.
"Shh, keep your voice down, be careful not to be heard by Lu Lin's people." A man hurriedly stopped him.
"Hmph, what are you afraid of? They have occupied our home, but they don't even allow us to speak?" The man looked disdainful, and deliberately raised his voice: "I just want to say that Lulin's soldiers are cowards. , even a gang of bandits can’t deal with it.”
His words made the tavern quiet for a while, and then there was a buzzing sound, and the people continued to talk and laugh loudly without changing their faces. It was obvious that the Lulin Empire was not popular here.
Listening to their tone, they were clearly dissatisfied with Lu Lin's aggression. Under Saul's gesture, Yada picked up a glass of beer and leaned over: "Good afternoon, everyone."
"Good afternoon." The men glanced at him and raised their glasses as a gesture.
"I'm from out of town. I just arrived in Ferrisland these few days. After listening to the conversation just now, it seems that there is a gang of robbers here. Aren't we travelers very dangerous?" Yada looked worried. asked.
The full-time job of Yeying troops is to assassinate, infiltrate, sabotage and collect intelligence. Now it is commonplace for Yada to get close to people like this to get information.
Sure enough, those people had no doubts at all, the man who spoke earlier said: "You don't have to worry about this, the dead group specializes in robbing Lulin's transport convoy, but they never attack ordinary passengers, especially us Dinar people. You are going to Wherever you go, feel free to go boldly."
"Really, there is such a bandit group?" Yada was "surprised".
The man said sternly: "They are the pride of all our Dinar people. When the enemy came, those useless lords surrendered without even resisting. Everyone had already lost their fighting spirit, but who knew where to take the risk?" Such a group of heroes came out, and their behavior is really gratifying."
As he spoke, he lowered his voice and said, "Many people who are determined to resist now follow their example. If there are more people like this, the Lulin invaders will be driven out sooner or later."
I didn't expect my actions out of boredom to win such a good reputation among the people. Sol couldn't help but feel very proud. Being a robber and being so popular as me is unprecedented, right?
"Since they are such a group of good guys, I'm relieved. Thank you guys for telling me the news. I've invited this round of wine." Yada signaled the boss to serve each of the men a glass of wine.
Amidst the thanks of those people, Yada returned to Sol, and at this time Sol's attention was shifted to another table.
Sitting at that table were a few tall and powerful mercenaries, maybe because they were too drunk, they talked and laughed loudly as if no one was there, the voice was so loud that he could hear it clearly without turning his head.
"Monk, how's the business going?" A mercenary was talking at this moment.
The one-eyed mercenary named Monk took a sip of ale, sighed, and said, "Don't mention it, there's been so much chaos recently, there's no business coming in, I finally took a mission a while ago, and only earned 500 fucking gold coins. If this continues, I will starve to death sooner or later."
"You've done the math, and there are still gold coins in the account. I haven't worked for several months, and I'm about to spend all my savings. What should I do?" Another mercenary said with a sad face.
"Why don't you go to the north? There are still many territories that have not been occupied. I heard that many people are fleeing because of fear of war. The business there is still good." A mercenary asked him.
"It's not that easy." The first mercenary snorted: "General Pintat's coalition army was defeated in World War I, and now the entire northern part of the kingdom is wide open. I heard that Lulin's army plans to build a military camp in the Ruhr Territory." Fortress, turn the focus of the attack to the north. There will definitely be wars everywhere, so it’s better to stay here to be safer, even if you starve to death, it’s better than dying in the chaos.”
The other mercenaries all nodded: "It's true, although making money is important, it's not as important as living."
Hearing them mention the war in the north, Saul and Yada immediately focused their attention.It seems that the attack on the camp that night really completely defeated the coalition forces. Hearing that Lulin was planning to attack the north on a large scale, Sol couldn't help but worry about his territory.
I was planning to hear more information from them, but these mercenaries changed the subject and began to drunkenly recall their past scenery, and even quarreled when they spoke fiercely.
"That year when I participated in an escort mission, I met a tribe of ogres. The entire mercenary group was wiped out except for me. In terms of danger, who can compare to that time?" At this time, a mercenary snorted angrily. road.
His words immediately attracted a burst of ridicule: "Come on, how many years have passed, and you are still bragging."
"Who's bragging!" the mercenary said angrily, "Do you have experience comparable to mine?"
At this moment, the mercenary named Monk suddenly said: "Speaking of a dangerous experience, I just experienced it not long ago."
"Oh? What's going on, let's hear it." The others immediately asked.
Looking up and drinking the wine in the glass, Monk said slowly: "It's the mission I did a while ago. That time I escorted some goods from Lamo to the city of Alesta in Ferris. When I was camping halfway at night, I was suddenly awakened by some strange noises."
"What is it? A monster? Or Lulin's night watch soldier?" A mercenary asked nervously.
"Neither." Monk shook his head: "I thought it was a robber at the time, so I got up carefully and prepared to see what happened. I followed the sound and walked through a forest, but I saw..."
This man seemed to know the storytelling skills very well. He deliberately paused when he said this, not only the appetites of those mercenaries were whetted, but even Sol, who was listening to him, was also aroused.
"What did you see?" Several mercenaries asked impatiently.
Only then did Monk hey: "I saw a group of cavalry."
"Che, I thought you were going to say something." Several people all showed disappointment: "Now there is no army in the whole southern territory, it must be some Lulin patrol team?"
"None." Monk shook his head, suddenly lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "The people I saw were all wearing Dinar's military uniform."
"What!?" A mercenary exclaimed in disbelief, "That's La Moling, thousands of kilometers away from the front line. How could there be Dinar's army?"
Another mercenary guessed: "Could it be that the king is secretly launching a counterattack and has quietly pushed the army to Lamo?"
"Hmph, I think you're drinking too much and you're just dreaming." The third mercenary snorted.
Monk said triumphantly: "Neither. It was neither my dream nor the king's counterattack. It was indeed a cavalry of Dinard. What really surprised me was that they were wearing the uniform of the Northern Legion. I have been to Broken Sword Gorge Fortress, so you can never make a mistake.”
"The cavalry of the Northern Legion?" Several mercenaries looked at each other in blank dismay: "Didn't the Northern Legion be defeated in the Ruhr Territory? How could someone come to the Ramo Territory?"
On this side, Sol and Yada, who were listening attentively, glanced at each other, eager to know what was going on.
Seeing Monk shook his head: "Who knows. I was taken aback at the time. If it weren't for the real people, I would have thought I had hit a ghost in the middle of the night. You know, I am alone after all, no matter what I don't want to draw their attention to whichever army the opponent is, so after confirming that it is not a robber, I am ready to leave."
Speaking of this, he showed a lingering expression on his face: "Damn it, because I was too scared, I made the lowest mistake and was discovered by them. You know, in a moonlight night, a group of murderous people The cavalry surrounds you, no one speaks, only the fully armored horses spray their breath on your face, their eyes are like hungry wolves staring at their prey, everyone's epee emits bloody breath..."
Under his vivid narration, the breathing of several other mercenaries also became heavier, as if they were not in a safe tavern, but returned to that terrible night just like the narrator.
"What about later?" A mercenary swallowed.
Munch habitually took a sip of the wine glass, only to find that the bottom of the glass was empty, he said: "At that time, I thought I was going to die, hey, I'm not afraid of your jokes, if I hadn't just urinated before, maybe I would Wet my pants. But they just looked at me silently, and then one of the boys said something, and in an instant, everyone turned their horses and disappeared like a whirlwind."
"They... just left like this?" A mercenary asked suspiciously, in his opinion, it seemed that something else should happen.
Munch nodded: "Yeah, I just left. I still can't figure out why they let me go. Maybe it's the god Dinisos who is blessing me."
A mercenary said: "Why have you never heard of this?"
Monk curled his lips: "Although I, Monk, are afraid of death and cowardly, I am not an ungrateful person. No matter what the reason for those cavalrymen to appear in Lamor, it must be to resist the Lulin people. They spared my life." , How can I go around to promote this matter?"
"Yes, Monk is right, no one is allowed to speak about this matter from now on." A mercenary said quickly.
After listening to them, Saul and Yada also withdrew their attention.At this time, both of them were very surprised. It had been so long since the defeat of the Ruhrland, how could there be a cavalry from the Northern Legion so far away from the front line?If that Munch wasn't bragging, it's definitely an unbelievably weird thing
But compared to this, there is something more important for Sol to worry about, that is, the Lulin Empire is preparing to attack the north of Dinar.If the opponent really sends troops, with Lovell's strength, I am afraid that it will soon become an enemy-occupied area.
Understanding Sol's worry, Yada walked around the tavern with a glass of wine, but was unable to find out more information.All they know is that the fortress in the Ruhrland is under construction, that the Lulin Empire is gathering troops, or that the price of goods has continued to be high recently, and other nonsense.
Generally speaking, all the information shows that the current situation in the Kingdom of Dinar is extremely serious.
"Damn, it seems that I really made a wrong bet at the beginning. I knew that Pintat would lose so quickly, and I wouldn't do any 'Qin Wang' if I was killed." Sol really regretted it at this time.
But now that he is trapped in the enemy's line, it is useless to say more, so let's quickly find a way to return to Lovell.In this way, even if the territory is captured by Lu Lin's army, he doesn't have to end up crying thousands of kilometers away.
Just when Sol was thinking wildly and having a headache, Lesta patted him on the shoulder: "They're back."
Sol looked up and saw Kress and two guards, each carrying a swollen bag, looking around the door of the tavern.Seeing Lesta waving, the three of them immediately walked towards this side.
"Have you got anything?" Saul asked, gesturing them to sit down.
Kress nodded: "It took a lot of money, but I finally got it."
"That's good, we've also heard a lot of things here, although it's all bad news." Sol hummed.
"I heard that Lulin's army plans to study in Ruhr..." Yada was about to explain to Kress.
"Wait!" Kress suddenly stopped drinking.
"Huh?" Surprised, several people immediately looked around vigilantly.
"What's going on? Have you been spotted by the enemy?" Yada asked nervously. Before he left, he was entrusted by Chip to protect Sol personally, but at this moment he didn't see any clues.
"These plates..." I saw Kress staring solemnly at the dishes on the table that hadn't been taken away: "From these traces..."
"How does it look?" Sol and Lesta, who ate the most, trembled in their hearts, wondering if the food was secretly poisoned?
Kress gently swiped his fingers between the bowls and plates, with an awe-inspiring look on his face: "Judging from the soup left in this bowl, this is lamb chops stewed with mushrooms; these bones are obviously from turkey, um …with cherry pits, it should be the famous dish cherry roasted whole turkey; this kind of meat residue can only be left after cutting the meat half-rare with a sharp knife, then this should be charcoal-grilled steak!"
As he said that, he looked at Sol with a pitiful face: "Isn't it fair for you to eat so many delicious things behind my back?"
Plop!Everyone fell under the table.
"Boss, order another one as I just ordered." Sol struggled to get up from the bottom of the table and shouted at the top of his voice.
*
"Ahaha, I'm so happy, I haven't had such a good meal in more than two months." An hour later, Kress and the two guards walked out of the tavern with satisfied expressions.
Sol felt that the corners of his eyes had been twitching. Due to the war, he hadn't been out of the mountain for more than two months, but he didn't know that the prices outside had risen to a ridiculous level.When he was paying the bill, he realized that these two meals cost him 2 gold coins. No wonder the tavern owner smiled so happily.
Due to the haste of running away that night, almost all the axle loads were left behind, and everyone only brought a few gold dinars. As a result, after buying the necessities for the dental festival today, they actually spent seven or eighty eight.
Now the cottage has almost no money other than the hundreds of thousands of Lulin gold coins it has snatched, and the money is too hot to handle, so Sol has to return to the state of zero funds again.
Looking at Kress who still patted his stomach and called him cool, Sol secretly hated: "If you eat you to death, you really don't know how expensive you are." But he obviously forgot who ate the first meal first.
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu like being a robber, my life is so miserable.Sol's heart bleeds when he thinks that his plan to secretly go down the mountain to eat alone in the future has been shattered.He was even thinking about selling some loot to raise money.
At this moment, several people were walking towards the outside of the town, when suddenly there was a commotion in front of them, and many residents flocked to somewhere.Remembering that one of the purposes of coming this time was to gather as much information as possible, so they also followed.
A wooden plank was erected on a certain open space in the town. Some Lulin soldiers held spears and separated a circle around the wooden plank to keep the townspeople out.Several men who looked like clerks were pasting notices on the wooden boards, which seemed to be arrest warrants.
After the notice was posted, an officer who had been sitting next to him stood up: "I am Bayer, the captain of the mixed infantry brigade guarding the local area. I called everyone here today to ask some questions."
As he said that, he slapped the notice on the wooden board with his backhand: "I think everyone knows that recently a group of bold thieves known as the Death Regiment frequently attacked our transport convoy, causing great losses to the empire. Due to the enemy's cunning , we have not caught them so far."
"What's even worse is that some bold people who are dissatisfied with the rule of the empire actually use them as an example and try to resist us. Now I declare that anyone who provides clues about them will be rewarded by the empire!"
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the two soldiers immediately moved a box, and when the lid was opened, all the people present exclaimed, it was full of yellow gold dinar coins.
Bayer grabbed a handful of gold coins and let them slide from his fingertips. The splashed gold coins made a seductive voiceless sound.He looked around and said loudly: "How about it, does anyone want this money?"
The surrounding townspeople looked at each other, but no one spoke.Bayer asked again loudly, but still no one answered.He said disappointedly: "It turns out that they are all cowards. Even if the money is in front of them, no one has the guts to take it."
The faces of the townspeople were all angry, but because of the dangling weapons in the hands of the guarding soldiers, they could only dare to be angry but did not dare to speak.
To tell the truth, Saul really wanted the money, he was desperately poor.But you can't sell yourself, can you?So he can only look at the gold coins in the box with admiration.
Bayer laughed and said, "I know some of you must know something, but it's not convenient to stand up for some reason. It doesn't matter, I will wait for your arrival at the police station in the town. Anyone who can provide anything of value People with intelligence will be rewarded accordingly.”
Unexpectedly, at this moment, I suddenly heard a rough voice saying: "I have something to say."
In an instant, the eyes of all around immediately shot at Sol and his party. Only then did Sol realize that it was Lesta who spoke just now.
"Brother, what do you want?" It's not a good feeling to be the target of public criticism, especially when all these gazes contain contempt and hostility.
"You don't want that much money?" Lesta didn't realize it.
"I think so, but..." Saul was in a hurry, you are not so shameless, are you?
Bayerha slapped his chin: "It turns out that there are still brave people, you, come here."
At this time, it was too late to stop, Sol could only watch Lesta walk past.
Looking Lesta up and down, Bayer said, "What do you want to tell me?"
Lesta scratched his head: "Don't you want to know the news about going to the death group? I just know a little bit."
Hearing what he said, Sol and the others all looked at each other in blank dismay, wouldn't Lista really lose his mind and go crazy?
Bayer was overjoyed when he heard that, he didn't expect that the first informant could provide such valuable information, he quickly said: "Quickly tell me, what do you know?"
"Can I really take those gold coins?" Lesta asked.
"Of course, can I still lie in front of so many people? Come on, what do you know about the death group?" Bayer waved his hand impatiently.
"Actually..." Lesta suddenly leaned forward: "I'm just going to die."
"What?" Bayer asked instinctively.
What happened next took everyone by surprise.
"Grandpa, I'm the one you're looking for!" Lesta yelled into his ear.
Just when Bayer was dizzy from the shock, Lesta pulled out his saber and cut off the head of the unlucky captain.
Gudong... The head fell to the ground, there was a moment of silence, and then everyone burst into terrified shouts.
"Wahhahaha, the gang of heroes is here, if you want to catch me, just come here." Lesta kicked Bayer's body away and laughed.
At this time, the scene was already in chaos, and the terrified townspeople ran around like chickens without their heads, and there were figures scurrying everywhere.The surrounding guards tried their best to push away the crowd and surrounded Lesta.
Two guards finally broke through the crowd and swung their swords to kill Celesta.Unexpectedly, they had only rushed a few steps, and two shiny throwing knives had appeared in their throats, and they fell to the ground dying of breath.
"My lord, let's leave quickly." Yada calmly said to Sol with a turn of his wrist and threw two daggers again.
"Brother, what are you doing?" Sol asked Lesta angrily.
"Happy, brother-in-law." Lesta waved his sword and laughed, looking like a gangster: "It's been a long time since I've been so happy, let's kill his mother."
Knowing that he has entered the bandit mode now, it doesn't make sense, so Sol had no choice but to say to Kress: "Kress, you are responsible for pulling the elder brother away, and the others will open the way for us to kill!"
While speaking, he waved his hand, calling out the snake demon Xiaomei who hadn't been used for a long time.
Due to the weapons control implemented by the Lulin occupation army, except for Yada's close-fitting dagger, no one else was armed.Kress knocked down a guard with a single punch, snatched his long sword and turned and cut down a man, while two other guards also grabbed the weapon.
Probably because of being suppressed for too long, surrounded by the enemy, Lesta swung his sword wildly with excitement on his face. For a moment, his appearance like a mad tiger frightened the Lulin soldiers.
Hacking a soldier with a tomahawk, he finally snatched the weapon in hand.Turning the huge battle ax between his wrists, Lesta turned back and rushed towards the enemy group with big strides: "Aha, come up if you are not afraid of death."
Just when he was about to kill all directions happily, Lesta hugged him from behind: "Stop playing, let's run away."
"Kressa, let me go, I want to let these guys know how good we are at killing gangs." He was in the mood, how could Lesta listen?
In desperation, Kress had no choice but to say: "If you don't leave, I will tell Kafir after returning to Lovell, your behavior today almost killed the lord."
Lesta is not afraid of the sky or the earth, but only her precious sister.Hearing Kress's words, a look of horror flashed in his eyes. Although he muttered "I don't have it", he turned around under his feet.
At this time, a group of Lulin soldiers who were on duty nearby had heard the news and came, but because the rushing crowd could not approach for a while, if they waited for the large group of people stationed in the town to come, they would be unable to leave even if they wanted to.
Under Sol's command, the snake monster Xiaomei and two defenders led the way, Yada guarded him closely, and Kress broke up with Lesta, and a group of six rushed out of the town.
The power of high-level monsters should not be underestimated. All Lulin soldiers who tried to stop them were blown away by the strong snake tail, and the sky was filled with figures flying around, and there was no single enemy.
The two defenders firmly protected the flanks, and all the enemies who tried to sneak over were sent away by them and Yada's throwing knives.In addition, the two evil stars Kress and Lesta were broken, and after paying the price of several lives, the enemy no longer dared to approach.
The mixed infantry brigade stationed in Nuoerlu Town was considered to be a fairly powerful unit in the Lulin Army, but it was completely at a disadvantage in the face of this group of bandits with only a few men.Under the strong attack of the opponent, they could only form a circle far away and move with the movement of Sol and others.
On this side, Lesta ran a few steps, then suddenly turned around and rushed under the board, and carried the box of gold coins that was still on the ground on his shoulders.
Kress was shocked: "What are you doing?"
The Lulin army chasing behind thought they had an opportunity, and immediately swarmed towards Lista.In desperation, Kress had no choice but to follow and kill the opponent, chopping the other party to pieces.
"I don't know what time it is, are you still in the mood to grab money?" Kress yelled angrily as he stood behind Lesta.
"In our line of business, if you make a move, there's no reason for it to fail. Now that I'm handicapped, I'll leave it to you later." Lesta acted as if it was a matter of course.
Kress: Hey, what line are you talking about...
At this time Sol in front turned his head: "Brother, well done."
Complacently, he winked at Kress, and Lesta followed up with the gold coins on his shoulders.Kress sighed, swept away thousands of troops and knocked out several people with one move, and took over the important task of the queen.
Caught off guard, and Bayer was killed and no one was in charge, the Lu Lin army at the scene could hardly stop the crowd. Before the opponent fully reacted, the group rushed to the entrance of the town smoothly.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of horseshoes in front of them, and more than a dozen cavalry rushed towards them on horseback.Although the number of opponents was small, the horseshoes of the galloping horses hit the ground heavily, and the thunderous roar still made people feel stagnant.
"Xiaomei, use a bow and arrow!" At this moment, it was no longer possible to forcefully charge, and Sol immediately shouted.
Xiaomei, who opened the way in front, stopped abruptly, and while standing cross-legged, she had already drawn out her bone bow.With the humming sound of the bowstring trembling, the bone arrow pierced through the chest of the cavalry at the forefront in an instant. The huge momentum made him fall backwards, and the horse under his crotch was even more terrified. And rise.
These are not heavy cavalry for combat, but reconnaissance light cavalry attached to the mixed infantry brigade. Neither man nor horse has armor, and they have no power to parry against Xiaomei's powerful long-range attack power.
Unexpectedly, the monster on the opposite side was so fierce, and the cavalry, who were originally imposing, couldn't help but pause a little.In this moment, another cavalryman was killed by a bone arrow, and another was killed by Yada's dagger.
Due to the narrow entrance of the town, these cavalrymen were somewhat unable to use their skills. In addition, the first few cavalrymen were shot, and the horses dragging the knight's corpse helplessly circled in place, immediately blocking the cavalry behind them, and turning them into The living target of Xiaomei and Yada.
During the period, some cavalrymen tried to fight back with the short bows they carried, but all the arrows shot were easily pushed aside by Xiaomei.After paying the price of killing and injuring a few more people, the remaining cavalry turned their horses and ran away knowingly.
"Quickly, hold the horse." Seeing the enemy retreat, Saul quickly ordered.
The two guards immediately went up to lead the horse. At this time, due to the delay just now, the enemies behind surrounded him, and Kress, who was alone, was under great pressure.Fortunately, his swordsmanship has improved rapidly during these days. Although he doesn't use the iron lump in his hand, he still has the posture of one man guarding the gate and ten thousand men not opening.
The situation at this time was that although the cavalry in front had been routed, a large number of enemies had poured in from behind and surrounded Kress in groups.And some Lulin soldiers also tried to outflank and go up from the side, because the two guards gathered their horses in front, and there was no one to take care of the flanks for a while.
What made people even more anxious was that there was a faint sound of heavy footsteps coming from both ends of the town at this time, which was also mixed with the muffled sound of steel armor moving. It was obvious that the main force of the enemy had already rushed to this side.If the opponent with heavy armored infantry arrives, then no one will be able to leave.
In the critical situation, Sol's mind seemed to be spinning very fast, and he repeatedly ordered: "Brother, put the box on the horse. Xiaomei, you clean up the enemies coming from the side. Yada, you go and help Kress get out. "
Without any hesitation, the two and one beast immediately dispersed. Sol looked around and ran towards the two guards who were holding the horse.
Unexpectedly, before running a few steps, a Lulin soldier rushed over. It just happened that Sol was the only one in the center of the formation at this time, and the two sides immediately met face to face.
Soldiers in Lulin have been paying attention to Saul since just now. This wretched-looking guy is protected by everyone. He has never seen him make a move.
So without any hesitation, he slashed off with his sword as soon as the two met, and didn't even let Sol use his tried and tested life-saving expertise - nonsense.
Encountering such a guy who won't give you a chance to speak, Sol can only complain secretly.He lowered his head to avoid the sword, but the sole of his foot was hooked, and he immediately fell to the ground with all four feet in the air.
As soon as he stepped on Sol's chest, the Lulin soldiers stabbed him condescendingly with their swords raised.At this time, everyone was a few meters away, and rescue was too late, and Sol couldn't help but be out of his wits, and now he was dead.
At this critical juncture, there was a muffled sound of piercing the air, and the enemy soldier suddenly seemed to be hit by something heavy, and he flew sideways violently. Half.
"Brother-in-law, what are you still doing in a daze, come here quickly." Lesta's yell came from Sol's ear.
Only then did he realize that the one who saved him was the ax thrown by Leesta.Not daring to delay any longer, he quickly got up from the ground and ran over.
At this time, the two guards had managed to calm the six horses and threw away the corpses hanging from the stirrups.Yada also successfully helped Kress escape, and the two ran towards this side.
"Xiaomei, cut off the queen! The others get on the horse." Sol shouted.
After cleaning up the flanking enemies, the snake demon immediately greeted the pursuers behind. When Kress and Yada passed by her, Xiaomei suddenly became angry, and the thick snake tail twitched left and right, and the chasing enemy Immediately messed up.
At this time, the enemy army who came to reinforce them had arrived nearby, and the archers who entered the position the fastest were firing their arrows, but it was difficult to attack because their own soldiers were fighting with Sol and the others.
The remaining light infantry and spearmen ran towards this side at the fastest speed, and the slower heavy armored infantry fell behind, but it didn't take long for them to surround them.
"Hurry up, get on the horse." Under Sol's repeated urging, everyone got on the horse.
At this time, the enemy army behind was completely blocked by Xiaomei. Even if it was a high-level monster, her beautiful body was covered with scars after so many people hacked and stabbed her indiscriminately.
Unexpectedly, at this time when the chaos was getting worse, the townspeople who were far away also came to join in the fun.They yelled at this side from a distance: "Go to hell, good job." "Show these Lulin bastards a little color." "We will always support you."...
Even residents on both sides of the street opened their windows and joined in the solidarity.All of a sudden, the enemy roared and the townspeople screamed ghostly, which actually brought a hint of comedy to this tragic battlefield.
"Hahaha, thank you very much, we are the legendary death squad, please ask for more support in the future..." Lesta triumphantly clasped his fists and saluted in all directions.
"Support you, hurry up and go!" Saul kicked his horse's ass angrily.
"Oh, my waist... Folks, we will continue to work hard." Amid the painful neighing of the war horse, Lesta took the lead and rushed out of the town.
"Haha, really happy!" I don't know if it was affected by the atmosphere of the scene, Kress and the others also let out a cheer, and pulled up their horses to follow.
The six people quickly fled to the entrance of the town, and there were cheers and whistles from the townspeople behind them.
When he arrived at the entrance of the town, Sol turned around from his horse and grabbed Xiaomei from a distance, and took it back in a white light.After being stunned for a moment, the enemy immediately swarmed after him.
Outside the town of Nuoerlu, there is a lookout tower built simply with logs. Due to the chaos just now, the sentries on it have long since disappeared.As he rode across the watchtower, Kress drew his sword and quickly slashed a few times on the rope tied with wood at the bottom.
The rope broke, and the bundled brackets fell apart. The tower shook a few times, and then began to tilt with a creaking sound of friction.
At this time, the Lulin soldiers who rushed to the front just ran to the entrance of the town, when they heard a loud bang, the sentry tower fell to the ground, and the logs tied together were completely dispersed due to the impact, and smoke and dust were everywhere in an instant , The thick wood fell in all directions, completely closing the front.
It took a long time for the dust to dissipate slowly, and the entire entrance of the town was blocked by a pile of logs piled up in disorder.The Lulin soldiers looked at each other in blank dismay, where was the shadow of the Qusi Regiment?
In the next few days, the legendary story of the Qusi Group making a big fuss in Nuoerlu and killing the captain of the Lulin Army quickly spread throughout the entire southern avenue as if they had grown wings, pushing their reputation to a new peak.
Now this bandit group has become a hero in the hearts of the people in the southern occupied area of Dinar, and of course it has become a thorn in the side of the Lulin military.More and more resistance organizations followed the example of the Qusi group and launched a vigorous resistance movement against the invaders, so that the "Norlu tragedy" (this is the official statement of Lulin, as for the people of Dinar, it is called "Norlu tragedy") In the week following the occurrence of the "Norlu Glory Day"), all the occupied areas of Lulin in Dinar were on fire, which really kept the garrisons busy for a while.
However, the instigator of all this, the Qusi Group, knew nothing about it, and they are currently feeling a headache for the crazy suppression operation of the Lulin Gendarmerie Headquarters in a rage.
As for Saul, he didn't have time to mind outside business.At present, our lord earl who has fallen into the grass is nestled in the warehouse all day, counting hundreds of thousands of Lulin gold coins, and counting hundreds of thousands of denar gold coins.
It's nice to be a bandit... no, it's nice to be a guerrilla.
