Chapter 18: The Vanishing Horse Thief

In the mottled night, everyone began to cheer, everyone ignored the blood red on the sword, and all were intoxicated with the joy of victory, George picked up a horse thief war knife like a crescent moon, chopped a rock under his feet, and asked the grapes, "How is our battle damage this time?"

Grape was beckoning everyone to clean up the battlefield, gather weapons and drink horses, and after hearing George's inquiry, he said: "We have killed 100 horse thieves, and this time only some of us were wounded, and there were no casualties. ”

George nodded with satisfaction, and then looked in the direction of Ameswallon, although he led his troops to victory, but will it be glory to greet him? Not necessarily! Maybe it will be more calculations and conspiracies, he doesn't care, but he can't let his brothers who follow him suffer! It seems that this time, he needs to play a big show with Master Pierre!

Grape was very happy to see the rich items seized this time, and said: "Brother, let's go to Lord Pierre, we should be able to receive a lot of rewards for killing so many horse thieves!"

George laughed and said, "No, no, no, grapes, we'll clean up the battlefield at once, bury the corpses on the spot, and then get all the horses and weapons away first, and then go to Pierre." ”

Grape said strangely, "Don't we need these things in exchange for rewards?" brother, you don't like to eat meat?"

George patted Grape on the head and explained, "How much reward can Pierre give us? What are those things, what the horse thief left us is ten thousand times more useful than Pierre's reward!"

With that, George asked the scout team to change into the costume of horse thieves and lead it to the previous stronghold led by Ataya.

George ordered that 90% of the horses and dead horses should be brought with them, and that the rest of the horses would be sent back to Amesvalon by small forces.

Time passed quickly, and before dawn, most of the work was done. George led a small number of troops back to the fortress.

When Pierre saw that George had come back and thought that he had been defeated, he cried and said: "More than 100 people fled back from 400 people, and it's over, it's over, it's over, there are only 100 people left!"

Georges said, "Don't be so pessimistic, Mistress Pierre, we had a big fight with the horse thieves, and no one took advantage, and then the horse thieves retreated. “

Pierre didn't react at this time, and after calming down, he asked, "The horse thief has retreated, where is the retreat?"

George said with a smile: "I don't know, maybe I've robbed enough to go home, maybe I'm resting somewhere, waiting for the next robbery!"

Pierre shuddered, hurriedly made a chair for me, and said: "That, George, I'll give you weapons and food now, and you hurry up and train the army, you know? I will now appoint you as the general of the city defense team of the fortress of Ammerswaron, and be responsible for the defense of the outer city of the fortress, and leave the inner city to the Myron family for the time being, after all, they can't be forced to death at once. “

George seemed to smell some kind of conspiracy, but he felt that Pierre's idea was simple, and prompted: "Lord Pierre, I need more men and troops, so that you can be the governor in peace!"

Pierre felt that he was nervous during this time, that feeling was too stinging, every time he felt that he was going to be finished, George, who was born with mud legs, could always pull himself out of the abyss, although he didn't like to deal with mud legs, but George was an exception, if he could use George to kill Ancas, then Ammesvalon would be in his pocket in the future.

Pierre said, "George, I believe in you, I hope you can train more real warriors, I hope that during my tenure I will not hear the news of the horse thieves attacking, George, do you know how difficult it has been for me during this time?

George was very humble at this time: "Lord Pierre, thank you very much for your trust, I also captured some war horses in the battle, although not much, but I still decided to give these war horses to you! and if I get more items in future battles, I will give them to you first!"

Pierre's greedy face of the aristocracy at this time was immediately exposed, as soon as he heard what, as long as he got all the materials for himself in the future, then it would be a trophy, it would not be corruption, and he would not get rich in disguise?

Pierre immediately became interested and said: "That George, you kid can go to war with confidence, I will fully support you!"

After complimenting Pierre more than 200 words, George handed over the supplies to Pierre's butler, and then led everyone to take over the city defense, usually the army is stationed outside, the city defense has always been the Myron family's troops regularly change defenses, but after this horse thief invasion, all the troops were stationed in the fortress.

After the defeat of Ancas, there were still 500 infantry troops to defend the inner city, and George led the new army formed by Pierre, divided into 4 units to defend the four walls of the outer city, in fact, the horse thieves have been killed by themselves, and it is nonsense to send many people to defend, and the top priority is to train and expand the troops as soon as possible.

And George wants to do another more ruthless thing at present, which is to reshuffle all the strength of the surrounding farmers and firmly grasp the hands of Dopierre, so as to help his future development even more!
