Under the guidance of the unfortunate messenger, the Imperial legions quickly found their proper direction.

It was a small Wiegand village.

A city that has both "decay" and "ruin" written on its face.

A soldier looked far away from the back of the hill towards the location of the village. The tribe is generally composed of dozens of shacks, except for a building in the center of the village that can be called a "house", and a few warriors with swords in hand can be vaguely seen walking around the building, which should be the residence of the "Great Commander" in the mouth of the messenger.

To the soldiers' disbelief, there was not a single armed force in the entire village except for a few guards who had gathered outside the center of the village.

A couple of old men and their dogs sat on the side of the street, and if they hadn't looked closely enough, they could barely see the difference between them.

It was all a layer of tattered fur, and a bony body was wrapped underneath. Not to mention picking up a blade to cut such a person, the soldier has enough reason to suspect that he only needs to make a gentle circle towards his chest to dent his chest.

There are a few people who can be seen faintly in the shack, but it still can't be too big, and now the vanguard of the empire is only a few hundred meters away from the village, if they really make a move, it is estimated that they will not have time to pick up their weapons, and the soldiers will be enough to surround them.

"What is this? As the general had estimated, this is a very weak tribe, and the number of our vanguard alone is greater than the number of men in their village combined. ”

"Before you speak, could you please see that the situation is talking?

An older soldier said with a frown.

"They're a hunting tribe, so they must have a lot of hunters, but as of now, we haven't seen one-"

At this, as if in response to the words of the veteran, a sturdy-looking man with a simple armament and a large prey entered the village from far and near.

The younger soldier blushed suddenly, his hometown was south of a small town in Great Abbaschia, and when he was a child, he had heard of fishermen who fed by the sea, but he had never seen the Orion Village, where the entire village had been hunted for a living, so he naturally lacked a lot of experience in this situation.

It wasn't just one soldier who saw the hunter returning from afar, but many soldiers witnessed it. This caused a commotion in the camp.

Since there are Orions everywhere in this tribe, it is natural that Orions return to the village from all directions.

This time I came back from the east, and I didn't find them, but next time I can't say if they came out of the west, so I told them to be right.

"Why don't we take this village in one fell swoop while these hunters haven't come back yet?"

The younger soldiers turned around and made a suggestion, they were the vanguard sent out of the battalions, except for the knight lord, it was estimated that the most morale and combat effectiveness were these hundreds of people, and when it came to desperately, they really didn't fear anyone.

But if this is the case, it is estimated that Sword will have to whip the soldiers to death afterwards.

The leader of this vanguard is a nobleman of the North Sea Kingdom, a well-known earl, although he is over forty years old, his body that has been immersed in hunting and labor for a long time has not been completely drained by time and turned into a soft egg.

On the contrary, because of his rich experience, he is rich in the title of "fox".

As the saying goes, there are only wrong names, not wrong nicknames. After hearing the message from a few soldiers in the front row, the "fox" immediately led a few attendants to the forward position from the back row, and just heard the young soldier's proposal.

"Capture the village in one fell swoop?Are you the son of that king?How dare you give such an order in my army?!"

As he was saying this, although the earl lowered his voice as much as possible in order not to attract the attention of the tribe, his curled eyebrows and the blue tendons on his forehead were not used to prove that he really lost his temper.

The young warrior did not dare to interject, but the veteran dared to make a suggestion or two to the commander.

"Earl, Earl......" When the old soldier first spoke, he was somewhat uneasy because of his noble status, but he quickly immersed himself in the analysis of the situation, and even the speed of his speech increased a little.

"There are a lot of hunters in this village, and according to the route of the messenger before, the position of the army has long been seen by this gang of mud legs, and now we are a partial division that has been driving for a day in a row before ambushing here, if a hunter discovers our whereabouts, won't it be a waste of all the previous efforts, and then I am afraid that if we take down this village, we will increase a few casualties. ”

At first, when the "fox" saw the veteran pointing fingers at him, he was still a little dissatisfied in his heart, but then he heard that although the veteran's words meant to protect the young man, he also had some truth, so he also suppressed his anger, reluctantly restrained the anger on his face, and patiently listened to the veteran explain his views before he spoke out his thoughts.

"It seems that I met not only the illegitimate son of a king today, but also a university scholar. ”

The veteran's eyes suddenly flashed with a lot of anger.

"Are you so bitter to tell me this bunch of nonsense that my son can see?"

The young warrior looked away from the count's feet to his chest, somewhat bewildered.

"What the hell are you worried about? Are you worried that the Wiegand are man-eating beasts? It's not us who are going to be timid now, it's them, can you make a beast, even if it's pretending?"

The veteran slightly put away his originally somewhat unruly expression and pursed his lips fiercely.

"What if they find out about us? Can you imagine what a flock of sheep would do if they saw the wolves they were about to hide suddenly appear in front of them?"

The young soldier's face gradually turned red from the original pale, and the face that had just been raised just now lowered again.

"General Sword and General Nonno can order an attack without hesitation in the face of four hundred elite samurai, how can they come to your side, and at most less than two hundred hunters can make you pee your pants?"

The soldiers' somewhat sober faces suddenly added a little bewilderment, but the Count did not explain anything more to the soldiers, but only ordered all the soldiers to be ready for battle, but did not allow them to take the initiative to attack.

Maybe the soldiers don't know much in their hearts, but the Count knows that the army he leads, although it can be called the platoon of the imperial militia, is not the real trump card in his army.

The trump card that General Sword really assigned to him was the Wiegand messenger who had been completely frightened by the Imperial army.

Under the two days of running, the messenger Cody has been emaciated at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the whole person looks a little sluggish, if you tell the soldiers now, this is the warrior who was able to overthrow two strong men with his bare hands two days ago, there must be no one to trust.

The earl, who grew up in the north, naturally knew what was going on, although the Wiegand people were brave, they couldn't withstand a long battle, although the explosive power was quite terrifying, but once they passed the strength, they were slaughtered.

In that respect alone, they are truly like self-proclaimed beasts.

The Count looked at Cody with satisfaction, and then took off the blindfold he had put on with his own hands.

Cody's eyes suddenly saw the snowflakes in the sky, and the whole person's eyes were dizzy, and he quickly closed them again.

"Aren't you going to open your eyes and see where we've been?"

As a Northland leader who often had to deal with the Wiegand people, he was not fluent, but he could understand Wiegand was essential.

The messenger's face really showed a little uneasy, although he was blindfolded along the way, he could probably sense some directions, thinking of this, Kodi's face couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

He opened his eyes with difficulty, looked around, and there was a familiar scenery in front of him, and this familiar terrain made him sincerely find a trace of creepy, and his body shivered vigorously, as if he had seen something terrible.

He had set out here three days earlier, and had vowed to return for the Commander in a new title.

And now, the scenery of the swamps and woods is the same, only with a large number of soldiers of the Empire.

"I brought you here?"

Cody asked with some difficulty. Since the people of the empire can come here, they can naturally observe the scene in the tribe, and there is no need to hide it anymore, he just wants to be a ghost now.

The Count immediately made a look of disgust, glanced at him with some disdain, and continued:

"You used to have a bargain to talk to, but because of your uncooperative attitude, now you don't even have a lot less money to negotiate with the Empire. You have to understand that the Empire, in the swamp, still has friends. ”

Cody lowered his head in frustration, but then a glimmer of hope ignited in his eyes.

"You haven't done it yet. ”

"You're calling me up now, and you're certainly not calling me to kill me......"

The Earl's pretended to be nonchalant, but a smile flashed across his face.

He likes to deal with people who love to use their brains the most, because the more such people think, the easier it is for them to fall into the ditch and not be able to climb out.

"Yes, now His Majesty the Emperor is willing to give you a chance. ”

"Surrender now, and you will not die. ”

A hint of joy suddenly appeared on Cody's face.

He had observed the number of the Great Prus legions, and even had a hand with a person who looked like a superior person, and since he was captured, his fear of the Great Prus had deepened day by day, and in his heart, the Great Prus at this time were an impossible existence to defeat, and it was a gift to make the people of the tribe have a glimmer of life.

The Count took Cody's look in his eyes, and he gave him a feigned annoyed look, and then said

"Our Emperor His Majesty is really too merciful, if you want me to say, it is right to kill you barbarians who don't know what to do, and it will be a waste of our time to persuade us to surrender, anyway, our knights only need one round of charge, and you can slaughter your ridiculous camp. ”

"Please give me a chance to meet my brothers from those tribes. ”

Cody immediately fell to his knees and pleaded with the Count in a very low manner.

"Trust me, Grand Commander Savic...... No, it's the chieftain of that tribe, Savage, who trusts me so much that if you let me go, I will make him surrender obediently with just a few words. ”

The Count slowly stood up from the ground and spat the ground.

"I'm waiting for you from now on...... Wait until you get to us and put the army in order! If you can't give a proper answer by then. ”

Saying this, he paused deliberately, and turned his gaze to the group of soldiers standing on the front line, these soldiers had just been fooled by the earl, and now they were nervously holding the blades in their hands, and their faces were flushed.

This was originally a look of shame, but in Kedi's frightened gaze at the moment, it was constantly magnified, and finally turned into a murderous look.

The Count gritted his teeth, and with the dagger at his waist, he cut the rope that bound Curdy's arms and legs, and said

"You can start working now, I don't care if you surrender or choose to go back and resist. Go, the Empire gives you back freedom. ”

Brutal freedom.

Cody was stunned for a moment, then moved his hands and feet in disbelief, his eyes full of doubt.

In his opinion, he had done the kind of attack on the enemy leader before, even if it was useful to keep him and not execute him, he should at least pay more attention, how could he be so lax in guarding him.

After regaining his freedom, a wild feeling rose in his heart.

Tie up this arrogant commander?

He doesn't look young, and the guards around him aren't very close to him, so maybe there's a chance.

Thinking of this, Cody couldn't help but move his hands and feet in the direction of the earl, different from the previous decisiveness, this time it was more like a temptation, like a tiger who saw a donkey for the first time, thinking that hunting was feasible, but he didn't dare to really do it.

He couldn't help but set his eyes on the Count again.

Everyone
