Chapter 136: Night Attack (4)

The night fades by - the night is not restless, it is somewhat mysterious and exciting for the vigilers, but it is a little short for the sleepers. When the morning came, the sound of the trumpet summoned the sleeping guards, but when the Praetorian Guard knights woke up, they still looked a little tired, some of them still had dried blood on their armor, but no one asked, and everyone knew it.

The morning in the forest was a little gray, and although the purple sun rose, it could not shine into the forest for a while, and the light was covered by the dense branches and leaves, and there was not much left...... Although it was winter, the camp was surrounded by some evergreen trees, which was a bit green, not like the bare rest of the world.

Breakfast is a must, every time there is a battle, the orc chef must protect him, and when Hathaway is in a good mood, he will also organize some recipes to teach him. Although some spices may not be available here, they can always be replaced, and she also stored a lot of vegetables and spice seeds on the earth in the warehouse of the fairy garden, so she also planted a batch this time, and after collecting a batch of seeds, she took them out and sowed them.

Speaking of preparing breakfast, most of the guards only have a very simple breakfast, that is, some dry food and broth and the like, but Hathaway, as the host, of course, eats differently from other guards, and even Ilona opened a bottle of table wine for her, in addition to this preferential treatment, she doesn't have to pack her own luggage...... Iona and Lina, the two diligent little maids, had already taken care of her, and even prepared the water for washing.

"No wonder everyone wants to be a nobleman. The days when the food comes to open the mouth and the clothes come to stretch out the hands are really moisturizing. Hathaway sat on the back of the sky with a forward look, in a very good mood. The flockon badges she gave to those people were not taken back. But she said it in front of her, and only after the special work was made would the badge truly belong to them...... This explanation is not surprising, because the value of a flying mount is very expensive, especially since this is a kind of soul badge, and the snow vulture in it is not an entity, which is more time-consuming and labor-intensive to refine, and the value is naturally higher.

Resolved the Red Tiger Mercenary Group. Believe that Orville. Honduras even had that heart. I don't have the courage to send someone over for the time being, after all, it is not so easy to assassinate a powerful earl, and when he doesn't know Hathaway's force value, he will definitely not rush to send someone over. Therefore. After tidying up. The team moved on. After all, it is inconvenient to walk in the mountains and forests, and now that their tails have been cut off, they naturally want to leave here. Go back to the official road...... According to the previous plan, they went to Hampt City first, on the one hand, to procure supplies, and on the other hand, they also wanted to inquire about any useful news, and they could also get limited help there...... According to the plan for the construction of the intelligence network, there should be a small intelligence station in that city.

It was a bit of a miracle that the day's journey went smoothly, but in the afternoon, everyone loved a false alarm...... The local garrison received some kind of alert that a large-scale battle had been found in the mountains, and that there were strong fluctuations in magical power, so they sent two brigades of cavalry and two magicians to accompany the army.

The sudden encounter between the two teams made each other feel nervous, but fortunately, the officer led by him knew the standard equipment of the Praetorian Guard, so he did not act rashly.

The leading officer was Baron Williams, and their team was stationed in the city of Hampt.

After a brief briefing between the two parties, Hathaway angrily complained about the state of law and order...... Their aristocratic convoy was robbed and killed by thieves in broad daylight, which is simply a shame for the empire and a shame for the soldiers!

In the face of Hathaway's indignation, Baron Williams looked terrified...... This is not only because Hathaway's title is higher than him, if Hathaway really has an accident near his station, in order to appease His Majesty's anger, the Grand Duke of Snooker will definitely hand him over as a scapegoat. Therefore, after listening to Hathaway's introduction to the battle, Baron Williams sent people to the battlefield to investigate the situation and hunt down the escaped bandits, and at the same time warmly invited Hathaway and his party to his residence as guests.

Hampt, a medium-sized city, is located on the west side of Lake Beerga, the largest freshwater lake in the province of snooker. The inhabitants of Hampt City made a living mainly from hunting and fishing, and some of the homemade handicrafts allowed them to live a relatively wealthy life.

Hampt City doesn't have any famous specialties, and its nearby scenery can't be ranked in the famous snooker province, but the Hampt people have their own pride...... The people here are among the best soldiers in the Empire, and the Snow Wolf Legion stationed here is the main legion of the Empire, and it has made outstanding achievements.

The winding mountain roads caused many problems for the marchers, and the shady places were full of muddy ravines due to a snowfall that had just fallen the other day, while the sun-drenched ridges were covered with pale yellow dead grass and branches that had lost their leaves.

It was the first time Hathaway had marched with a regular army, and the ranks of soldiers on the mountain roads stretched for three or four miles, and they brought all the light and heavy weapons according to the rules of wartime, from the crossbow machine operated by four men to the dagger of hand-to-hand combat.

The good news is that they can finally ride, and these warriors who came to the mountain village have played a simple and industrious character, they have filled in the obstacles on the march with various war equipment, and they have solved the dangers in the cliffs and valleys with their hands. When Hathaway took the carriage out, many people watched in amazement, wondering how she did it. Bolt's commander quickly put the harness on, and Hathaway moved into the car...... That's where ladies should be.

The warriors of the Snow Wolf Legion watched Hathaway's car enter the city of Hampt...... They had just received the latest order from the army commander that in order to prevent another attack on Hathaway's team, they were going to surround the city of Hampt, block all roads that could enter and exit the city, block the entire western shore of Lake Baikal, and strictly manage those mercenaries who came and went.

The citizens of Hampton City don't know what's going on in the road! The mighty Snow Wolf Legion suddenly made a big move in the early morning, and the ignorant teenagers thought that the troops were training...... Although this was an honorable event, the people who had been peaceful for many years were frightened by the sudden appearance of the enemy, so that the whole city was plunged into panic and chaos after this morning.

The situation did not improve until the arrival of Hathaway, and although the people resumed their daily activities, the countless busy soldiers in the city added more fear and suspicion to the common people. And this time there's something even weirder! None of these soldiers from their hometown told their fathers and villagers what was going on, but they only told them not to take in strangers for the night easily, and to report any abnormal conditions in time.

Ling Yuxiao looked at the scene outside the car window idly, there was nothing in this city that could attract her...... There is no beautiful scenery, no mysterious mage tower, not even a single citizen! There was only the screeching sound of the carriage pressing against the bluestone pavement, and the sound of the horse's hooves hitting the stone pavement.

The party did not stop in the city, but passed through the city of Hampt and headed for the camp of the Snow Wolf Legion. Perhaps worried that Hathaway would make a small report, the people of the Snow Wolf Legion took very good care of them. They cleared out several spacious and clean barracks for the team, and prepared a villa for Hathaway, which was originally intended to entertain the legion's distinguished guests, but now the soldiers had rearranged the tables, chairs, and beds for the villa, and although it was a little cluttered, it looked like a well-decorated accommodation.

Hathaway's carriage stopped quietly in front of the barracks villa, and a few orderly soldiers quickly sorted out their few luggage.

Baron Williams gave Hathaway a dashing knightly salute outside the carriage and opened the door for her with a gentlemanly approach.

Hathaway pulled the deadbolt from the carriage, and she suddenly turned her head to stare at Cecia. Hughes. They had a half-magic conversation just now, mostly about how to set up a new intelligence network.

Hathaway looked a little tired, but the look on her face was normal, Lena lost all the blood on her face, she was like a lost lonely goose, her eyes were hollow, her heart failed, she let Hathaway take her hand and walk in the crowd of soldiers.

The townspeople began to get a little impatient with martial law all day long, but it wasn't until some mischievous mercenaries were hanged from a tree that people really realized what the so-called military control really meant.

Anything that can cause misunderstanding will be severely punished. Compared to the suspicious citizens, the officers of the Snow Wolf Legion are no better! The military's political sense has never been so sharp, but the official news from Heidelberg has clearly told them that the royal family is planning to clean up the discipline. The officers whispered to each other and felt that they could no longer speak...... Just when the royal family was making a move, she was attacked by a mercenary group.

Hathaway and her party left Hampt the next morning, and in her opinion, as long as the team did not reach the family territory, it was still in danger. Everyone is official, and there seems to be no better way for her to put forward a proposal to get on the road quickly! Hathaway didn't know where the road would be next or what would happen, and now it seemed that running to her range of power as fast as possible was undoubtedly the best choice.

I am confident that I will *********** hit the water for 3,000 miles in 200 years***********

A work mistake by the four gods of Fengyun and thunder and lightning led to the destruction of the body of the fourteen-year-old girl Shen Yueying, and what is even more excessive is that in order to prevent Hades from discovering their work mistakes, these four irresponsible guys actually tricked Moon Shadow into a place called the Amadeus Continent to be reborn.
