Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The hazy purple moon of clear light poured its brilliance and reflected the dark earth, a fire-filled plain, the neighing of war horses and the sound of people's "shenyin" were intertwined and scattered, the crooked flags fluttered with the cold wind, broken spears and swords could be seen everywhere, the sound of wheels turning from time to time, and if you looked carefully, you could see that the flatbed carts stopped and walked under the drive of the horses, and on the flatbed, you can see countless hideous and terrifying corpses.
Those who drove horses to pull flatbed carts had a name, corpse collectors.
Earl Heather rode slowly on his war horse on the chaotic battlefield plain, piled up corpses filled his sight, the soldiers under his command were cleaning the battlefield, and the weapons in their hands would not hesitate to make up for the fatal blow when they met the enemy soldiers of "Shenyin", sometimes, even their comrades were no exception, the former was to guard against the enemy's sudden outbreak of sneak attacks, and the latter was to give a relief to their comrades, the two treatments were completely different, Coldness and grief are always one and the same in war.
In front of him, a cavalry team came in front of him from a distance, and along with him came a flatbed carriage loaded with people.
"Tell the Earl, we have brought the body of Viscount Farrant."
One of the officers dismounted and saluted the Earl of Heather.
Count Heather nodded, and rode his horse to the flatbed cart behind the cavalry.
There was a man lying on the flatbed, a dead man with round eyes and unwilling to stare.
The Earl of Heather was no stranger to this dead man, for he was his most troubled and stubborn foeter over the years.
Now that he was dead, his glaring eyes filled with incredulity and consternation.
He shook his head and didn't look at it again.
"Bury him."
After waving his hand and motioning for them to take away the body of Viscount Farrant, Count Heather looked up at the night sky like a morning star, and a sentimental feeling rose up, and it occurred to him that perhaps one day in the future he would be like Viscount Farrant today. Death in battle, assassination, or betrayal, the word death is always inseparable.
As for surrender? There was no such word in his world.
He hadn't experienced this mood for a long time, no sympathy and pity, no ridicule and sarcasm, only a faint touch. This kind of love only lasted for a while, and as strong people, they were never affected by this kind of feeling.
In the distance, a cavalry contingent in the shape of an officer greeted them.
"Quares, what's the latest on the pursuit?"
Without waiting for the group of officers on the other side to speak, Earl Heather asked first.
"Greetings to the Earl. The remnants of Viscount Farrant's fleeing army have been captured. One of the highest-ranking middle-aged officers said in a deep voice.
"I know, let's start making a strategic plan to march into Diorda, and be sure to annex the territory of Viscount Farrant within a month, and don't live up to my expectations of you!" Earl Heather said lightly.
"Follow your will." The middle-aged officer saluted solemnly.
"Frank. Is there any news from Xia Lan's side? Suddenly, Earl Heather asked.
"Back to Lord Earl, Commander Sturn, who is responsible for cooperating with His Excellency Xia Lan's ambush, has not sent back any news yet." The middle-aged officer said solemnly.
"No news yet?" Earl Heather sighed softly.
"Lord Earl! You see, Stun seems to be back. ”
Then. The middle-aged officer's eyes lit up, and he looked into the distance and pointed to a figure rushing towards him.
"It looks like it's Stuen."
The Earl of Heather, who was ill-eyed, only made out a little when the figure in the distance got closer.
It wasn't until the other party came to the Earl of Heather and dismounted and saluted that the person in front of him was Stun himself.
"Lord Earl! I beg your pardon for being late. ”
Stun was the first to plead guilty.
"How did you complete the task assigned to you? Derrank. What about the people of Xialan? Earl Heather asked directly.
"I'm sorry, Lord Count, our plan failed!" Stoon bowed his head and said, "We were only killed by Frank when we arrived at the place of ambush. Your Excellency informed you that Bai Cize himself had fled first...... and Derrank. After saying that, you left on your own, saying that now that the transaction has been completed, there is no more connection between you and him. ”
The Earl of Heather was silent for a long time. "What about Bukins?" ”
"He's dead!" Stun said respectfully: "When we get to Derrank. When Xia Lan was around, he suddenly attacked Bukins, and when he left, he cut off Bukins's head and took it with him. ”
"I see, you all stand down."
Earl Heather's old face chuckled, and waved his hand for them to leave.
The officers who heard the order disappeared around him after a few moments.
"Baisize, Frank. Charan, Pandelia...... Croon ...... of Quirofi I believe that there will be interesting things in the future that I can't see. ”
Muttering to himself, Earl Heather, under the protection of his guards, began to slowly leave the plain battlefield.
As they passed by a corpse collector who was dragging the body onto a flatbed wagon. Suddenly, the faceless collector drew a short spear from under the flatbed cart, and in an instant, the short spear suddenly projected like lightning towards the Earl of Heather, who was guarded by many guards in the center.
……
Outside an estate outside of Cantrandland. A carriage slowly drove down the distant avenue in the cold wind under a group of sturdy-looking guards.
The small window of the carriage was suddenly opened, and I saw a delicate and lovely face looking around.
"Miss Winnie! Do you have any instructions? ”
A tall, strong man who was guarding the carriage stepped forward and asked respectfully.
"Do you see Xia Lan's figure?"
"This ...... His Excellency Charan, he is not in the team right now. The man hesitated.
"What? I saw him just now when we were leaving! Where has he gone now? Winnie said with a frown.
"Miss Winnie, this ...... I don't know. The man smiled wryly.
"Oden! I think you should know the consequences of cheating on me! Sue me! Where did Lord Charan go? Winnie instantly grimaced.
"Miss Winnie! I really don't know! His Excellency Xia Lan only explained us a few things before leaving, and then suddenly disappeared. Auden said with a bitter face.
"What did he tell you?"
"He said that this time we don't have to go to Eblaunro, but go straight to Querofi! He said he would have his own way of finding us in Quirofi! Auden said truthfully.
"What!?" Winnie exclaimed, and after a while, she suddenly gritted her teeth and said, "I know, he must be preparing to go to Ebramrow alone!" No way! We must follow him! ”
"I'm sorry! Miss Winnie, Your Excellency Charan has also told us that if you find out that he is going to Eblaunro, we will not be allowed to let you go under any circumstances! Auden said with a stern expression.
"That's it! I'm just a burden to him anyway. ”
Winnie shook her head, sighed softly, and closed the window, her eyes unconsciously glancing at the other person in the carriage.
Salala!
She wanted to know what happened to that man and her!
