Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Rogues
In the hall of the Earl of Bailey's castle, Count Dumbledore is summoning the commander of the White Castle army, Gulgarus.
"Your Excellency, are you still used to the life of going on expeditions?"
Garu: "Well, good, your white bread is delicious. β
Gul: "Gul is not happy, Gul wants to fight!"
Garu: "Say less!"
Dumbledore looked at the two heads that had begun to argue because of their differences, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
For the ogre with the same body but independent thoughts, Count Dumbledore also felt very helpless, so he had to interrupt the argument: "Don't worry, you two, there will be bread and battle." β
Then he instructed the waiter on the side, "Bring the food!"
Gul: "Gul wants to drink." β
"Wait, get some more wine. β
Taking advantage of the time for the attendant to go down to prepare, Garuda asked, "Your Excellency, what did you call us to do?"
The White Keep army had been stationed outside Bailey for seven days, and this was the first time the Count had summoned Gulgaru, except when they first came.
The earl was not polite to the helpers he hired, and said directly: "Your Excellency, in the south of the earldom, a group of rogues suddenly appeared, taking advantage of the war to harass the villages in the territory, I sent out an army to exterminate them, but I don't want that gang of rogues to be strong, cunning and cautious, and escape again and again, so I want to ask Your Excellency the Grand Commander to go out and exterminate this gang of bandits." β
Gul: "No problem!
"Hahaha, since it was His Excellency the Grand Commander, I have nothing to worry about. β
......
After the ogre eats a meal of Hesse, the Grand Butler of the Earl's Court, Babker, sends him away.
Bruce looked at the ogre who had gone out, and was a little puzzled by the earl's decision: "Father, I spent a lot of money to invite them, why don't you send them to the front?"
The Count looked at his heir: "Hehe, then do you think you should be sent to that front?"
Bruce frowned, thinking.
The Earl sighed: "Over the years of the war, the small nobles have either become vassals of the big nobles or they have perished, the feast of sharing the weak has ended, and the next thing is the contest between the big nobles." β
"Now, we are facing two strong opponents, the old military-industrial aristocracy, the Viscount Leo family, whose army is mostly veterans of more than three years and is not afraid of death, and the Count Lucas family, who started on ore, have well-equipped soldiers and the most large war equipment. β
"And our Bailey City, due to the long-term focus on the sea, has led to the weakness of the forces on land, and we are afraid that we are not the opponents of the two families. β
"The monster army of White Scale City, put on any battlefield, is a force that can reverse the situation, so neither side dares to push us too much, Viscount Oliver and Viscount Willen have sent a message that the pressure on the front line is much less. β
Bruce: "So, Father left them in Bailey City to maintain strategic deterrence and watch the two of them eat dog-dog." β
"Yes, yes, as long as the two of them fight, they will send the fishmen guarding the river to sneak into the enemy's hinterland through the water system and monitor the movements of the enemy's army, so that Bailey City can be attacked and defended. β
Bruce was convinced: "Sure enough, it was my father's foresight. β
The four-meter-tall ogre chief swaggered down the streets of Bailey City, and the human pedestrians along the way were like plague gods.
Gul grabbed a handful of barbecued meat sold by a human vendor on the side of the road and stuffed it into his mouth, and the poor vendor was so frightened that he quickly hid under the table.
Fortunately, Gulgaru was not interested in these humans, and walked out of the city gates while eating and grabbing along the way.
Garu glanced back at the deep city gate, "Gul, do you feel that this mission is strange?"
Gul burped: "I don't think he has any ill will." β
The two heads of the ogre chieftain, Garu is more intelligent and is responsible for casting spells, while Gul is intellectually close to the beast and is responsible for fighting, and it is precisely because of his low intelligence that Gul has an almost beast-like instinct and can sense the hostility of others.
Garu muttered: "With the master here, they don't dare to pit us." β
Gul shouted: "Yes, long live the master!"
......
In the afternoon, the human scouts, dressed in light armor, walked briskly into the White Keep army camp under the watchful eyes of ogres and gnolls.
He felt the gaze of the monsters around him, and although he knew it was a friendly army, he felt his scalp tingle, and quickened his pace towards the huge tent in the center of the camp.
Encountering no obstacles along the way, the scout came to the tent, saw the commander of the White Fort army, and gave a military salute: "Your Excellency, the information of those rogues has been clarified." β
Garu: "Very well, how many of them are there, where is the location?"
The scout gritted his teeth: "There are about 200 of them, they just ransacked Lulan Village at noon, and they are still drinking and having fun outside the village. β
Gulgalu stood up directly: "Lead the way!"
Gul waved the mace in his hand: "Gul is going to smash their heads!"
To deal with some rogues, of course, there is no need for a large army, Gurgaru only took three trolls, a small team of ogres, plus two hundred gnolls, and under the leadership of human scouts, embarked on the road of suppressing bandits.
It's just that the human scouts walked in front of the group and felt that the atmosphere was weird.
Aren't trolls, ogres, and gnolls the targets of extermination?!
How did you turn around and become an official bandit team now?!
However, as long as it is for Bailey City, what about monsters!
......
Night.
In the mountain forest clearing next to Lulan Village, the bonfire was burning enthusiastically, and the bloodtooth bandits who had harvested a lot during the day were holding a celebration feast.
The bandit leader, Eric, blushing from his face, jumps onto a vat.
"Brother, follow me with blood fangsβEric!Drink wine and eat meat!How can it be better than serving those noble lords!
The robbers raised their food and bowls in their hands and echoed the leader's speech.
"The Boss is right!"
"Yes, yes, yes! I've long had enough of those noble lords! Now the eldest brother takes us to drink wine and eat meat, so that those invincible nobles can't catch us, and they still eat ashes after us! Hahaha!"
The robbers burst into laughter.
The lean monkey-like middle-level thief spoke: "If you want me to say, it is better for us to enter Bailey City together, kill that old immortal, and let the eldest brother be the earl, and we can be a nobleman!"
"Hahaha!"
The sycophant slapped Eric on the back, and the bandit leader laughed out loud.
But he knew very well in his heart that this was impossible.
Bloodfang was originally an adventurous group, and its leader, Eric, wanted to take advantage of the war to make a fortune in Dumbledore's county, so he took a group of his brothers to recruit brave outcasts and started a business.
Eric always kept an eye on the army in Bailey City, and he asked the two brothers of the mid-level thieves to take turns to keep guard, so that the Bloodfang Bandit Group could detect the danger in time, and coupled with the strength of Eric's level 11 high-level warriors, he could escape with his whole body every time.
But what he didn't know was that the bandit team that came this time was a little different.
