Early the next morning, Allen's team started early.

He didn't go far and Alan saw that Khruf had a blue nose and swollen face again, he was a little curious, but he still couldn't help but ask.

It was Khruf who came over little by little.

"My lord, may I ask you a question?"

Alan glanced at the mysterious gnoll leader, "Tell me about it." ”

"How many runes are there on Cobb?"

As soon as Khruf asked this, Dinah next to him laughed, and the girls next to him asked what was going on, and after a few whispers, everyone laughed.

It turned out that he had an extra rune and then went to challenge Cobb, but he was beaten again.

"You'd better not fight him now, he has five Great Power Runes on him. ”

After saying that, Alan reached out and touched Hruff's wolf head to comfort him, then turned around and continued on his way.

Khruf, on the other hand, stood on the spot in a bit of a daze, feeling the pain on his face.

This is not unjust, in fact, even if Khruf is now loaded with five powerful runes, he can't match Cobb, after all, the latter has been fighting for a long time, and the increase brought by the runes on his body is no longer the same value as it was at the beginning.

As they were about to go home, the vignette brought by Hruf lightened the atmosphere of the team, and the rune knights who were marching on the two wings also began to exchange ideas and discuss how much their strength had improved after this experience.

Suddenly, a figure flew from the front, all the soldiers were on alert, and Olya raised her bow and arrow.

"Lord Allen, it's me!"

This familiar voice was none other than Locke's son, Gaia, and Alan immediately ordered everyone to lay down their weapons.

Gaia hurried through the crowd, not having time to catch her breath,

"My lord, the Gemeng family is attacking us with an army!"

......

As a swordsman, Estan is not pampered, but he really can't sleep comfortably in a simple tent.

Coupled with the harassment of the enemy in the early hours of the morning, there is no spirit at all today.

In fact, Estan had already expected the archers to harass him again yesterday, so he specially arranged an ambush to prepare to leave all the enemies behind.

But the archers reacted quickly and were nimble, and quickly fled into the nearby forest.

Estan's knights were not good at jungle combat, and he was afraid of any ambush, so he left the knights behind and let Bot chase after him with a team of 100 men.

There was no news in the second half of the night, and it was not until the morning that Bot returned with the team, killing and wounding more than 40 people, and the other party also left more than 20 corpses.

According to Both's report, the direction in which the archers fled was not a trap, but there were soldiers who met them.

Bot originally thought that he could take everyone down with his sixth-level strength, but the other party also had a sixth-level swordsman, and there were several enemies whose strength was very strange.

"Weird?"

If it weren't for Estan knowing Both's temperament, he would have felt that the Commander was making excuses for his failures.

"I obviously feel that the opponent's strength is very weak, and the level will definitely not exceed the third level, but when fighting, they can resist my sword, and their archers are also very strong, and these wounds on my shoulder are caused by arrows. ”

This is actually a rather humiliating thing.

At level six, he can already use Dou Qi protection, and even low-level magic can resist some of it, but he was injured by an archer who is lower than his strength, although there is an element of sneak attack, but it will still become a joke.

Bot's report made Estan look a little sad, and he vaguely felt that there was something wrong with this impulsive attack, but it seemed that it was too late to regret it.

"Let all the soldiers get all in order at once and move on to the next destination!"

"Lord Viscount, after yesterday's events and the toss of the evening, everyone's spirits are a little tired, and if you continue to hurry before breakfast is eaten, I'm afraid it will be ......"

It was not a wise choice to disobey the orders of the Lord, but he was careful to voice his doubts for the sake of the Gemeng family.

"I know, but there's no time now. ”

If you really want what Bott said, then he has no chance of winning when Alan returns, "Tell all the soldiers to eat breakfast on the way, and rest as soon as they reach their next destination!"

Bot also had a sense of crisis in his heart, so he could only sigh helplessly and give orders.

However, when the news spread, the mage hired from the academy was reluctant, and he had not rested well due to the killing cry last night, and now he had to hurry away without breakfast, which made him completely angry.

"As a venerable mage, I didn't get the treatment I deserved, and now I don't even have time to eat breakfast?

Is this the etiquette of the Gemon family?

If I knew it was such a nobleman, I wouldn't accept the commission no matter what!"

Listening to the mage's scolding of the herald soldiers beside him not far away, Estan's face became more and more gloomy.

He really regretted hiring such an uncle to come back.

"My lord, what should I do?"

"Let's go first, send two squads to accompany him behind. ”

Bot nodded helplessly, and that was all there was to it.

Estan was in a hurry, and he hurried to the sheltered village in the middle of Merlin's collar at nearly twice the speed he usually had.

The village was large and used to be home to a small market in the Merlin family's domain, but when the area around Fort Musenburg developed, it became much more deserted.

This information was reported by the spies that Estan had sent out before, but when it actually arrived, it was empty.

"I don't believe I can take all the people in such a big village away, Bote, send two teams of people to search for it!"

With the previous lesson, Estan was much more cautious, and although his army was quite numerous, it could not withstand attrition.

The soldiers rushed into the sheltered village like a torrent, and it didn't take long for them to escort a few villagers out.

Estan smiled, sure enough, no matter how fast the Merlin family moved, they couldn't evacuate such a large village in a short time.

However, when the man was brought to him, Estan frowned.

"Why are they all old people?

"Lord Viscount, we searched all over the village, and there are only a dozen old men. ”

The mood that had just improved disappeared immediately after hearing this, these old guys had no value to Estan, and it was obvious that the opponent had deliberately stayed to demonstrate to him.

Estan sneered in his heart, the Merlin family thought of him too simply.

He paced in front of the escorted old man, and mocked loudly: "I thought that the Merlin family was such a benevolent nobleman, but I didn't expect to take the young man away and leave the useless ones behind."

Is there any one of you who is in charge?"

"Good day, this lord, my name is McBerke, and I am the head of this village. ”

The old man was very old and his voice was a little hoarse.

"The village chief?"

Estan laughed twice after hearing the old man's words,

"I didn't expect the Merlin family to be so anxious that they didn't even want the village chief, haha......"
