012. Doubts

Horn was sleeping with two women in his arms when Horn fled, and after hearing the report from his men, he put on a suit and rushed out.

"A bunch of rubbish!"

When he heard that it was a woman from the village who had let Horn go, he cursed, returned to the house with his sword, and stabbed the woman on the bed to death.

"Look at what, don't chase it yet!"

Truton is really annoyed with this garbage now, and he was actually ruined by a woman.

"Where did he go?"

Durudon asked with a frown as he put on his leather armor.

"West! The other two adults have already taken people to chase after them!"

The long sword next to him was still dripping blood, and the robber who reported the news did not dare to hesitate at all, for fear that Durudon would kill him in a fit of rage.

Truton always felt that something was wrong, how could Horn, who had been hungry for a few days, have the strength to escape even if he had a woman to help him?

Did the woman bring him food every night?

Then he's going to have to teach the guys who have been keeping vigil for the past few days a good lesson.

But now there was no time to think about it, Durruton took the rest of the robbers and chased them all the way.

There are not many trees in the Silver Pine Hills, but large and small mounds are everywhere, and all kinds of ravines are winding, which is why Truton chose this place at that time.

There was no wide road for the horses to travel quickly, even if the nobles' private army surrounded and suppressed them, they could flee in all directions if they got into this hill.

It's just that the original choice has now created the environment for Horn to escape.

By the time Durudon arrived, Horn had already burrowed into the hills, and the other two leaders of the Wolf Bandits were leading them in pursuit from different directions.

But it was not easy to find someone in the hills shrouded in darkness, and the robbers were busy for a long time, and there was no one to be seen.

In the end, Truton had no choice but to divide the robbers into groups of four or five, enclose the entire Silver Pine Hill as much as possible, and wait for dawn to catch Horn out.

He stood high on the hill with a chill in his eyes,

"You can't escape. ”

......

The continent of Federon is very large, about ten times the size of Earth, and this is only recorded by human exploration.

And the Astor Empire, as one of the most powerful empires on the continent, naturally has an incomparably vast territory.

Because of this, small nobles like the Merlin family also have a lot of territory.

However, not all areas of the territory are suitable for farming, which means that in addition to the villages attached to Musenburg, other villages are scattered throughout the territory.

As a child, Horn occasionally took Alan with him when he was patrolling the territory, and it was then that he noticed a problem.

The location of Maussenburg is too remote.

The Merlin family needed to establish a town in the center of their realm, a town that could drive trade between the villages.

But that's just a thought, and the manpower and material resources needed to build a small town are not ordinary.

"I must rescue my father, otherwise it will be a laborious task to patrol the territory. ”

For the beautiful scenery of the territory bathed in the early morning sun, Alan has no Yaxing at all, and wants to stay in Musen Fort to study runes.

But Oster, who was next to him, was very interested in these natures, and from time to time he ran through the woods, indulging in the fragrance of the grass, and did not care in the slightest that his neat dress was wet with dew.

The militiamen in the team, who did not know the purpose of the trip, saw Oster's joyful behavior and thought that they were out to play.

The warm sunlight fluttered on Oster's face, making him sparkle in the forest, and the glittering mist flew around him like a butterfly, making Alan involuntarily think of a sentence.

Clear water out of hibiscus.

There was a crisp "snap", and Alan gave himself a slap.

In the future, I must stay away from Oster, this guy is girly.

Allen's sudden movement surprised Locke on the side, "Young Master, how did you beat yourself?"

"It's okay, warn myself from time to time, I'm this normal man. ”

Locke: "???"

Although he didn't know what he meant, Locke had believed in Allen's words since he had given him power with runes.

"Why don't you warn yourself too?"

Locke muttered and slapped him in the face......

Under Locke's guidance, the team continued to march for about half an hour, and finally reached the end of the forest.

Looking forward from afar, wooden houses in twos and threes appeared in everyone's field of vision.

"It's the village in front of you, young master. ”

"Hmm. ”

Alan replied in a low voice, looking ahead with a calm face.

Before he could give the order to move on, a figure appeared on the road ahead and hurried to Allen.

It was a man dressed in coarse linen with a shabby leather armor over it.

"Good day, ladies and gentlemen. ”

The man respectfully saluted, and a guy like him, who was used as cannon fodder, did not have a trace of arrogance in front of the nobles.

"Another brother has gone to inform you of your arrival, and by order of the Chief, you ...... You and your party are not allowed to enter the village. ”

Of course, there were Durudton's threatening words later, but the robber was too timid to say it.

"Good. ”

There's no need for Alan to embarrass a minion who delivers a letter, especially when his father is still in the other party's hands.

"Tell Truton that I have prepared a full five thousand Imperial Gold Coins, and if he releases my father, I will not only give them all, but I will never pursue them again. ”

"Yes, sir, I'll go back and report. ”

The man bowed again, turned and trotted back to the village.

Alan ordered Locke to arrange for everyone to rest, and he looked at the village from afar.

At this point, Oster also stopped playing, quietly walked up to Allen's side, and patted him on the shoulder.

Originally, he wanted to open his mouth to comfort Allen, but when he thought of the relationship between this matter and himself, he still didn't open his mouth in the end.

Although, even without him, Truton would still have taken action on Horn.

"If my father doesn't come back safely, I'll kill all the robbers and then kill you. ”

Alan's tone was very flat, and Olster didn't feel a trace of fierceness in it, but this was the most terrifying part.

He knew that Alan was not threatening him, but informing him.

"Thank you for telling me. ”

Oster crouched down against the trunk of the tree, nonchalantly fiddling with the blades of grass beside him.

He wished that he hadn't worked with Truton before, and that he might have real friends.

The silence between the two lasted for a long time, and was broken when the robbers who reported it came again.

"My lords, our leader is having breakfast with the Baron, and we will be there when we are done. ”

"Breakfast?

Alan looked up at the already rising sun, which was not the habit of his father, who was accustomed to morning exercises.

"Yes, I woke up a little late today because the Baron was too late with the village girls last night......"

After speaking, the man also laughed twice and made an expression that everyone understands.

Eren didn't speak, his face changed instantly, and he glanced at Locke.

The latter immediately understood, rushed up and kicked him down, and pointed his sword straight at the robber's throat!

"Say, what have you done to Lord Baron!"

"I didn't ...... Not really, Lord Baron...... Ahh

Before the robber could finish his words, the long sword in Locke's hand swung violently, cutting off his fingers at the root, causing him to let out a miserable scream!

"In the past few decades, Lord Baron has rarely been close to women, how can he fall in love with the girls in the village!"

"I'm telling the truth, there's an extremely beautiful ...... in the village."

Alan stepped forward, put his foot between the bandit's legs, and stepped lightly.

"If you don't tell the truth again, this will be the next time. ”

"Don't!"

The robber clutched his fingers and shouted in horror: "The people are not in the village, and the brothers who stayed behind said that Baron Horn had fled into the Silver Pine Hills to the west, and Truton was rounding up!"
