At night, darkness engulfed the whole camp like a flood.

The herald took out a fire breaker and lit an oil lamp, and then carefully put the lampshade on again. The room was suddenly illuminated by a cloud of yellow, which made this winter night slightly reveal a warmth.

"They insisted that someone follow and take care of the two wounded soldiers, I ...... I couldn't refuse, so I promised them to report to you. The herald said hesitantly. Westerners still attach great importance to promises, although there are often numerous loopholes buried in these promises.

Moritz didn't speak, his eyes narrowed slightly, but apparently not focused. The herald was a little worried in his heart, and he didn't know if he should retreat. The words have been brought, and as for the result, it is not for him to ask.

"Did you hear anything?" asked Moritz suddenly, as he hesitated, with a solemn look on his face.

"Voice?" the herald was a little stunned, and didn't react for a moment. "Your Excellency, you ...... What do you mean?"

Moritz waved his hand impatiently, tilted his head slightly to listen, and then repeated: "Did you hear that?

The herald couldn't help but get slightly nervous, tried to listen to it, half a sound, suddenly looked startled, and lost his voice: "Yes...... Wolves!"

Moritz nodded, then shook his head again, still in a listening posture, and whispered: "Kamiri, do you remember, this is the first time in this time that you have heard their cries? ”

A look of horror flashed across the face of the herald called Kamiri, and he took a deep breath and said, "Indeed, and ......," he said, his ears moving deftly, but he suddenly paused.

Moritz glanced at him with a move in his eyes, "And what?"

Kamiri closed his eyes slightly, listened harder, and then the surprise on his face deepened a little, and he said in a trembling voice: "Moreover, this time it is in a different direction from the previous times, it seems to be from ...... It's from the southeast. Yes, over there. ”

Camilli affirmed. He was able to follow Moritz and become Moritz's herald because he had an extraordinary ability: his hearing was particularly keen.

That's why Moritz has repeatedly confirmed with him just now. And the reason why he hadn't heard those wolf howls before Moritz was because of his restlessness. And after Moritz reminded him, he suddenly noticed it after a little concentration, and even the direction of the wolf's howl appeared was accurately sensed.

"Direction......" Moritz was suddenly startled, and his face unconsciously showed a thoughtful look. After pondering for a while, he suddenly said, "Kamiri, you can carefully distinguish whether there is a ...... Uh, what's so strange about it. ”

Camilli opened her eyes in surprise and looked at him, not understanding what she meant. But he didn't ask much, and listened carefully. Only by this moment, the wolf howl seemed to have stopped, and there was no more sound for half a minute.

The oil lamp on the case suddenly burst into a spark and swayed slightly. In this vast and empty prairie, no matter how thickened the curtain is, it cannot completely block the invasion of the cold wind.

Moritz and Kamili shivered almost at the same time, and subconsciously tightened their coats. It's just that unlike Camilli's ignorance, Moritz feels a little stronger. It was not only a physical feeling, but also a chill from his heart, which made his uncontrollable heart tremble, as if someone had grabbed his heart tightly.

Trembling, yes, trembling. It hadn't been a feeling for many years, and he could only remember it when he was a child, when he ran into the woods near his home because of his playfulness, and unfortunately encountered the terrifying black bear.

That time, he felt death so clearly. So much so that after many years, he was terrified, and it was difficult to get rid of that terrible nightmare. It wasn't until I grew up later that I was able to break free after joining the army.

But now, he clearly felt that tremor again. He didn't believe it was an illusion, a great horror between life and death, and people who hadn't really tasted it would never understand that feeling.

Danger! Great danger is approaching! His face darkened a little.

"Go, immediately send out patrols and search in all directions with the big battalion as the center. As soon as you find out about the situation, immediately fire a warning shot, and go!" he roared in a low nervous voice with green tendons on his forehead.

Kamili was terrified, he couldn't understand why His Excellency the Legion Commander was so excited. Although encountering wolves in this wilderness is definitely not a pleasant thing. But at the moment, they have a strong camp and a strong firepower, and the wolves can only cause some trouble at most, and they will not do any harm to the camp at all.

You know, wolves are actually very cunning animals, they are sharp and intelligent, they can even judge the situation, and will never blindly attack a target that makes them feel threatened.

They may lurk and snoop, or they may tentatively roam around, patiently looking for the right moment. But this does not mean anything to a camp with a fence of moats. They will be able to leave until dawn, so why should they send out men to patrol now?

"Your Excellency, are you sure you want to do this?" he hesitated as he turned to give the order, but when he reached the door, he couldn't help but turn his head to confirm again.

Moritz's hideous face, Senhan's eyes flashed with a tyrannical glow, and he stared at him like a beast. This made Kamili suddenly feel like he was falling into an ice cave, and he felt that he didn't even dare to move.

But the feeling was only for a moment, and then it suddenly dissipated. Camilli's face was pale and he gasped for breath, and he didn't dare to say another word, so he turned around and rushed out.

"The howl of the wolf over there...... Something is wrong. Behind him, Moritz's faint voice came out.

Kamiri was slightly stunned, and his heart suddenly became uncertain. But after only a brief change of thought, I suppressed this thought and stopped thinking about it.

Suddenly there was an uproar in the silent camp, and hundreds of fires rose up, twinkling like stars. Along with these stars were the noisy shouts and curses, as well as the neighing of war horses.

It was a painful thing to be shouted from the warm quilt on this cold day with black lights. Not to mention the danger of going out of the camp to patrol, if it weren't for Moritz's prestige and control in the army, I am afraid that the bombing of the camp would have been possible at this time.

In the barracks of Olisses and the others, everyone stopped dressed up at the first time, and stood quietly behind and waited silently.

At the window, Olisses peeked out through the crack in the window, a faint look of surprise on his face. Was it discovered? Or was something unexpected happening?

The reason why they dared to break into the lair of the Rus' was not only a sign of courage, but also because they also had plenty of back. The wolf howl just now was a secret message from the scouts who stayed outside: they noticed a suspicious team approaching the camp and warned them to be careful.

Who could it be?? Olisses' eyes narrowed slightly, frowning nervously in thought.

According to the agreement, the master Su Mo's team should arrive around noon tomorrow. And at this time, in addition to the master's team, the only one who can appear here is .......

Thinking of this, his face suddenly became extremely difficult to look at. Sure enough, no matter how carefully planned, there will always be unexpected changes. It seems that my luck is really not good, and the most worrying and unfavorable situation has happened.

"You stay here and be prepared. Rodrías, you come with me, and we'll meet the Legion Commander for a while. He left the window, turned to the crowd and commanded. Then he nodded at one of them, motioning for him to come with him.

Rodrias was one of the bravest of the warriors, and he was cunning like a fox. At this moment, when he heard Olisses call his name, he laughed evilly, licked his lips, his eyes showed a bloodthirsty shien, and walked to Olisses and stood still.

Olisses looked at the crowd again, bowed slightly, then turned and pushed the door open, and strode out. Rodrias held the handle of his knife and followed.

When I went out, the noise became clearer. Groups of soldiers could already be seen scurrying out of the camp gates, and then branching out in several directions. And the direction in which the team with the largest number of people went made Olisses's eyes suddenly constrict. Over there, that's where the scouts came from.

"Oh, warrant officer, where are you going?" Olisses, who had just walked a short distance away, suddenly heard a voice beside him. As the voice fell, a group of soldiers with torches blocked his way, led by the herald, Kamiri.

"I ask to see Your Excellency the Legion Commander. "I don't know what's going on, but at this time, I must stay by my brother's side, and no one can stop me." ”

Kamili frowned, his face a little difficult to look at. But then he stretched out his hand and smiled, "I think you may be too sensitive, and nothing has happened, it's just a routine round." As for your request...... Well, I want to ask, just you...... Well, have you two come over? If so, then I think there should be no problem, and His Excellency the Legion Commander is busy, so there is no need to bother him. ”

Olisses looked at him deeply and nodded, "It's okay, then you can take us there." Yes, it's just the two of us. ”

Camilli secretly breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand and called for a person, and whispered a few words of advice to him to take Olisses and the two over. Although the rear camp belonged to the heavy ground, the two wounded soldiers were already dying, and the two people of Olisses could not make any waves. Even with the addition of the few captured Tatar nobles, there were only ten people at best. On the back camp side, there were three hundred guards, not to mention that he had specially told him to be careful.

Seeing Olisses leave without looking back, Camilli squinted and thought about it, feeling that there was nothing missing, so he breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and took the person to go on with his own business.

Five miles outside the camp, a miserable team staggered along. In the middle of the team, Joseph supported his attendant Curry with an iron face, pointed to the fire not far ahead, and said coldly: "See, there is the North Camp." Now, according to the agreement, you must give up a horse, and my squire will soon be unable to hold on. ”

One of the people in the group who looked like they were leading the way looked at the little sparks in the distance, and let out a long breath, and the faces of the others were excited. Then he glanced at Joseph with disdain, waved his hand impatiently, and asked a horse to be led.

Joseph's face flashed with anger, but he finally suppressed it, and carefully helped Curry, who had passed out, to the horse and put it away. Raising his head again, looking at the starfire in the distance, a fierce light flashed in his eyes.
