Chapter Eighty-Three: Fidipitz
Hendra didn't simply dismiss this as a fluke, but immediately set about sending someone to investigate.
To the military world, the garrison corps is nothing more than a miscellaneous card that does not need to be cared about. But for the bandits, the garrison legion is also a legion, so strong that it is simply unable to resist.
The scouts that the grizzly roared were all elites carefully trained by Hendra after taking office, and they were not inferior to the regular legions. Searching for information in the wilderness was a piece of cake for them, and it didn't take much effort to find the source.
Looking at the horizon and the vast grasslands, feeling the oncoming breeze and the smell of grass and trees, Hendra had an unusually strong instinct that destiny was his own.
"My lord, twenty miles further is the ruins. The captain of the scout stepped up to a position slightly behind the Arching Griffon, and bowed his head respectfully.
Sitting down on a good horse is worth hundreds of gold coins, but in the face of the monster, it is still inevitable to expose the cowardly side of nature, and the four horse legs are trembling slightly.
Hendra woke up from his musings and nodded slightly, "yes, I see. β
"Let the men camp and rest, eat a full meal, and prepare for the attack after sunset. β
"My lord, is it necessary to catch some live torture information in advance?"
"No, just defeat them, and the answer will emerge as naturally as a reef at low tide. The corners of Hendra's lips curled slightly, and he smiled indifferently, "Don't think too highly of them, it's just a bunch of wilderness outcasts." β
"Yes, sir. The captain of the scout raised his arm and put his index finger on the brim of his hat in a military salute, and hurried away.
This small vanguard force is the entire grizzly roaring elite, small in number but well trained. The command was passed like an arm, and he immediately stopped and began to bury the pot in an orderly manner to cook and arrange the patrol.

Today is the third day that the rabbit man has been left by the lord to dig the murals, and as the sun gradually sets in the west, there is still no progress as the previous two days.
The stone used for that wall was so hard that it was almost impossible to peel off the mural in its entirety, at least not for the rabbits.
They have tried many methods, and the long-haired savages who originally lived here initially felt new and actively gave advice, but now they can only watch the rabbit people all day long.
But in any case, it's time to call it a day today, and tomorrow's troubles will be left for tomorrow, and the lord didn't set a deadline for them anyway.
The rabbits packed up their tools and waved goodbye to the long-haired wildlings, whose camp was more than half an hour away.
The reason why they live so far away is because they are very timid, and recently it has been rumored in the clan that this ruin is actually an ancient mausoleum, and the ghosts of the dead have been hiding in it until they dissipate, and they will come out to attack the living at night.
In fact, they also knew that nine times out of ten it was fake, because the long-haired wildlings lived on the edge of the ruins and had never had an accident. But I couldn't help but be scared, and I would rather run two more steps and live as far away as possible at night.
In this way, once the ghost comes out, it will definitely find the long-haired savage who lives nearby and turns the mausoleum into a pig's nest, and the clever rabbits can take the opportunity to escape quickly.
For this reason, the dirty long-haired savages have laughed at them for their cowardice more than once, but just as the savages don't care about being dirty, the rabbit people don't think cowardice itself is worthy of shame, and still go their own way.
"What are you going to do, Fidipitz?" asked a rabbit man to his companion who had suddenly left the group.
Today they were leaving a little later than before, and it was almost completely dark, so it was not a good idea to break away from the large army.
"!" Fidipitz waved his hand without looking back, motioning for them to hurry away without waiting for themselves.
You shouldn't eat the food of those hairy savages during the day, it's too unhygienic!" thought Fidipitz clutching his stomach and thighs in hatred.
In fact, he didn't know what the word "hygiene" meant, but the lord often talked about it, and everyone followed suit.
Fidipitz found a particularly lush grass and squatted down, hiding as tightly as he could. Don't let those long-haired savages see it, otherwise they will squat next to it and wait for the filth to fall, and then directly reach out and pick it up and go back to dry it for fire!
As he tried to find a few large blades of grass, the two large ears on his head trembled, and his ruby eyes were full of doubt, as if he had heard some very strange sounds.
His outstanding hearing helped him recreate scenes that his eyes had never seen beforeβblades of grass being trampled, horses snorting, sharp blades sheathing, and a bunch of sneaky people!
In the tranquility shrouded in twilight, shouts of killing suddenly erupted.
............
"Did you make it clear?" Hendra carefully wiped his saber with his handkerchief.
Such a high-quality sword is actually not stained with blood, and it will float down the blade with a slight flick, which is only a habit developed in childhood.
The Hairy Savage is actually stronger than the soldiers under his command, but this physical advantage is nothing compared to the Armor Blade. Coupled with the starting advantage of the raid, the battle quickly degenerated into a one-sided slaughter, ending in less than a quarter of an hour.
Interestingly, when the dust settled, he cleaned up the spoils, but found a lot of iron weapons in the cellar, which seemed to be very good in Hendra's eyes. The long-haired savages cherished these precious weapons too much to take them out and use them, and gave their lives in vain.
"My lord, the bronze weapon was indeed discovered by accident. β
"It's amazing. The light flashed, and the blade was accurately sheathed, showing Hendra's excellent swordsmanship, "That's why I haven't seen those little treasures yet." β
"Three days ago, a Pompeii nobleman was one step ahead of us, and they all changed. β
"Oh?" Hendra reacted immediately, apparently that's how the best weapons of the savage tribe came from.
The other party seems to be very willing to give up their capital, but this also reflects that their strength may not be strong, otherwise there is no need to take peaceful means.
"Who is the other party?"
"It's a Pompeian pioneer called Alpine Fort. As he spoke, the scout couldn't help but laugh, "These turtles describe them very, very powerfully, almost like the Holy Light God has descended. β
"It's just a small pioneer leader, and the natives don't have any knowledge, so they don't need to take it seriously. Hendra had made up his mind in a split second.
He knew very well what kind of military strength the pioneer leader could have, and it was a hundred or so soldiers of varying levels, whose morale and organization were very poor, and their combat effectiveness was negligible compared to the roar of the brown bear.
"It seems like a war is coming. β
"But my lord, if Pompeii finds out, we will be in great trouble. β
"That's right, it's going to be a hassle to be discovered. Hendra snapped his fingers, and the Archcoon griffon, which was devouring the corpse, immediately jumped up to him, rolled over like a big cat and bare its belly, purring softly.
"The question is a remote frontier, if it is annihilated, how long will it take for anyone to find out?"
"Maybe at least a month. The scout captain immediately understood.
"I think it's half a year. β
None of them noticed that in the distance, in the inconspicuous grass, there was a rabbit man who was covering his mouth, not daring to make a sound.
