It was dark and there was no light, and the knights' torches swayed like fireflies in the rain, and they groped their way through the woods, and although the enemy was gone, the pursuit of the city defenders for the past two days still excited the warriors of the city defense army, for whom it was worth to be able to face the enemy and win the battle.

In the past, the city defense army, walking on the streets, whether it was ordinary civilians or merchants, saw them all hiding, as if they were hiding from the plague, and they really couldn't hide when they entered and exited the city gates. And when the nobles saw them, they looked at them like dogs...... In the eyes of those old men, they are not as good as a well-tamed hound.

However, for the first time since the newly arrived lord reorganized the city defense army, they felt that they were warriors, and with the destruction of those bandit gangs, the commoners and merchants no longer looked at them with dodgy eyes, even those noble lords, when they saw them, their faces also showed a little jealousy.

One qiē, all changed because of the lord.

The rain was still falling, and it seemed to be getting heavier. The woods shimmered with a dim, emerald green glow; There are some slightly blooming buds scattered on both sides of the mountain path, and with the careful watering of the rain, I believe that they will bloom as pure as a girl in the morning.

The procession finally stopped, and began to camp on the spot, with the knights setting up tents with some of their men, and then sending out guard posts around them. After a while, the bonfire was blazing...... Probably due to the dampness, there was a lot of smoke that choked several fighters and coughed. They also had to find a way to keep the fire from being extinguished by the rain.

Hathaway stood outside the tent, looking up at the sky, the blue moon had long since disappeared, the sky was dull black, gloomy as if it was about to fall, like a mountain pressing on people's hearts. The sound of rain echoes in the mountains and forests, sparse and continuous, forming a strange and smooth sound. There is also the smell of nature, the freshness of the rain, the mellow aroma of the earth and the fragrance of the plants. Mixed together. It formed a unique fragrance, which somewhat eased her mood.

Killing people is definitely not a pleasant thing to look at, but it is not okay not to kill. I remember when I used to be a criminal policeman. She also went to the court to see the shooting of the criminal. At that time, I only felt that those prisoners deserved it. A shot will kill blood, but it will not be able to kill the sins they committed in life. And now, all the killings are bandits with bloody hands on them. She suddenly felt a little unbearable.

Is it killing too much?

It doesn't seem to be, Hathaway suddenly felt that she was a little bourgeois and became a little sentimental, maybe this was also a kind of mental grinding. Of course, she doesn't change her policy because of that. On the battlefield, picking up knives and guns means that they must die, if they put down their knives and guns, she will give those people hope of 'life', and they only need to serve a few years of labor to qualify as civilians, which is already much more tolerant than the laws of the empire.

"Hathaway, there's something good!" Alia. Fgu ran over with a raincoat and a pocket, and splashed the rain everywhere.

"Be careful." Belin standing behind Hathaway. Hegel frowned, and the ring flashed on his body, bouncing away the muddy water that had splashed over.

Alia. Fugu smiled and reached out and pulled something resembling jade from his pocket...... Well, not jade.

Hathaway searched in her mind and was surprised, "This is the white jade snail of Bajin Khan?" ”

"yes, I was so bored in the tent just now that I wanted to go around the woods, but I found these." Alia. Forgu shook his pocket triumphantly.

Bajin Khan white jade snail is a specialty of the Cordillera Plateau, and it is extremely rare and rare, the meat is delicate, fat and juicy, the price of a snail is a gold carat, Hathaway has come to the Cordillera Plateau for so long, but it is only in Solo. Bell's manor ate once.

"Let's go, go into the tent."

Hathaway looked at the fat snail and moved her index finger.

Back in the tent, Hathaway rinsed the snails with water and placed them directly in the brazier - the snails' hard shells were their carriers. After a while, the aroma of roasted snails spread, and this sweet smell drove away all the negativity of the lord.

"It's ready to eat." Hathaway took one out, brought it to her mouth and sucked it gently, first drank the sweet sweat inside, then peeled off the hard shell, and threw the oily snail meat into her mouth, which instantly left her mouth fragrant...... A large bag of snails was quickly eaten under the attack of several girls, and after cleaning up all the qiē, Hathaway hid in the camp bed and fell asleep......

***********

In the early morning, the sky was not very bright, the air was still very humid, and the armor and swords and guns of the warriors were covered with a layer of fine droplets. Several puffs of smoke and aroma rose from the upper palace of the camp, attracting countless morning birds who searched for the delicious malt left behind by the warriors by the iron pot where the wheat soup was cooked. But when the busy warriors tried to get close to the soup pot, the timid birds scattered again.

Thanks to the pursuit of those thieves, it is normal for dozens of miles to be uninhabited, and sometimes you can see the ruins of some villages and towns that have long been abandoned.

Because of the possibility of encountering the bandits at any time, the warriors woke up early, and all the fighting equipment was ready, and some unnecessary things were left in the tent by the knights. Breakfast was plentiful, with fresh malt soup, toast, marinated bacon and chopped green onions and mashed potatoes with sauce.

The loud rallying horn sounded, and the warriors gathered as quickly as usual, and the heralds ate and drank loudly in front of the various teams, adjusting the positions and formations of each team, which were to be maintained until the enemy was engaged, so that there was no room for sloppiness.

"Salute!" A squadron leader suddenly shouted, and all the fighters reflexively crossed their swords in their chests!

Deputy Commander of the City Defense Army, Sgart. Accompanied by several guards, Cancy walked in front of the procession, and was very satisfied to see that the team was so neat and slightly bowed.

"Let's go!"

Sgart. Cancy gave the order, and the team rumbled in the direction of the Whirlwind Thieves...... This time their mission was to eliminate the large gang of thieves who would not leave the Cordillera and refused to surrender. Cancy wanted to believe that his warriors would be able to overcome the enemy in front of them.

The battlefield was ahead, the earth was trembling, and they could already hear the whirlwind thieves' horses kicking the ground.

On the morning of August 7, 909, two squadrons of the Cordillera City Defense Corps were under the command of Deputy Commander Sgart. Under Cancy's leadership, they launched an attack on the veteran bandit Whirlwind Bandits, who had been entrenched in the Cordillera for many years.

Although the rain had long since stopped, the sky was still gloomy, and on the top of a high mountain, a tall knight appeared, he reined in the restless warhorse, and after looking at the whirlwind thieves who appeared in his field of vision for a while, he suddenly raised the battle flag of the city defense army in his hand and waved it vigorously.

Rows of knights suddenly appeared on the top of the mountain, they were wearing ordinary leather armor, but they were holding sharp spears in their hands, between heaven and earth, it seemed that only the battle flags of the city defense army were fluttering, and the others were stationary!

The standard-bearer conveyed the clarion call for the attack! Heaven and earth are boiling!

Prosperous~

The city guards on the top of the hill urged their horses to meet the enemy, and they soon rushed down the hill, even seeing the faces of the thieves.

"Prepare to take the enemy!" The squadron leader of the first squadron did not know if the galloping cavalry could hear him, but he was satisfied to see that the cavalry on the front line had raised their long cavalry spears.

The Whirlwind Thieves finally moved, and the left flank began to spread out to the north side of the battlefield, and the left flank infantry who were suffering from the rain of arrows had already erected a wall of shields.

The bandits' front finally settled as the city defenders were about to charge in front of them, but they didn't look panicked, the ranks of archers were still firing volleys, and the swordsmen and shieldmen held up the heavy wooden spikes that held back the cavalry's charge.

The second squadron suddenly appeared in the rear of the enemy and managed to penetrate deep into the enemy's infantry formation. A warrior waved his sword excitedly, he had already cut down six archers, he watched with satisfaction as the enemy scattered and fled, but he was on the rise to find that the scene in front of him had become extremely open, and a group of bandits armed with spears appeared in front of him at some point.

The city defenders have seized the precious fighter plane, and when the enemy's archer phalanx is in disarray, they have leapt to a safe distance! Hasten! Hasten! Accelerate again! The only sound left in the ears of the knights was the sound of the wind brought by the horses, and they stared at the enemy, and when the enemy magnified to a real person in front of them, the arrows fired rapidly, the swords swung in unison, and the spears provoked!

"The main force of the whirlwind bandits really didn't move, their left flank is finished!" Elba whispered, a glint of excitement in his eyes.

"Well, let's move on to their right flank and see if they still have their composure." Sgart. Cancy said.

"Hehe, I finally caught up, Sgart really looks like a general, it seems that we don't need to go out for the time being."

In the distance, Hathaway looked condescendingly at the battlefield, her expression relaxed.

"That's right, Deputy Commander Kancy did a good job."

Barthes. Willy nodded slightly: "After the rout of the left and right flanks, it is time to launch an attack on the main force of the bandits, and the troops have already circled behind them, converged with another city defense army, and launched an attack at the same time as launching a frontal attack." ”

On the battlefield, the spears of the city defense army rushed into the bodies of those bandits, and the cries of death rang out, the faces gradually became hideous, and the blood gradually accumulated in the brains, and the soldiers of the city defense army cheered themselves up with all kinds of shouts and curses, while the enemy in front of them used various weapons to provoke the spears that poked out several meters.
