Sergeant Major, I heard that Redogan proposed to formally lead his troops to surrender, right? On his way back to the valley from the Boulder camp, Otto quietly approached Angus's side and asked.

Angus gently flicked his horse's head, bringing his horse closer to Otto, and replied, "Redogan has offered to lead his troops to join us, and he is willing to be a patrol soldier under the command of a patrol team."

Odo looked at no one on the left and right, and said: "Sergeant Major, Lei Doan's line is you in charge, you have to talk to the adults, Lei Doan can't clear his identity for the time being, I can see it clearly, now our external situation is too dangerous and delicate, and many things must be done for us by the third force."

"Brother Odo, don't worry, the adults have already thought about this."

"That's good."

As soon as the two finished talking, Art galloped back from the wasteland with his guards, and a Steppenwolf hung upside down in the saddle behind Art's horse, and at this moment the Steppenwolf had opened his mouth and stuck out his tongue, and his mouth was bleeding.

"My lord, you said you were going to get some game, but you didn't expect to come back from hunting a wolf." Otto and Angus greeted them.

Art jumped off the horse, and asked Ron and the others to unload the wolf corpse from the horse.

"You may not believe it, but this wolf knows me." Art put the unloading of the riding bow into the bow bag and said with a smile.

The two were puzzled and asked, "Why did you meet a Steppenwolf?"

Art pointed to a large bone knot in the hind leg of the Steppenwolf on the ground, "That was three years ago, when I was a hunter in the mountains, and in the early winter of that year, I went to Tinetz with the hunt to sell ...... The wooden handle of my hunting knife hit it in the hind leg and it fled in pain. ”

"Today we went to the wasteland to hunt rabbits and otters, and from a long distance I saw this limping fellow, and when the old rival saw each other, of course I could not let it go, so I "invited" it back. ”

The crowd listened to Art's story of fighting the wolf and praised it again and again.

"It was getting late, and the team was camping ahead. Let the baggage team dispose of this wolf for me, make soup for everyone to drink, and leave the wolf skin for me, and I will use it to make a wolf skin felt hat. Art commanded Odo.

Otto shouted to the group behind him, "Spencer! Spencer! ”

I shouted for a long time and didn't see Spencer coming.

A soldier of a baggage squad hurriedly ran to the head of the team and reported: "Ladies and gentlemen, someone who stole food and wanted to flee was caught by the baggage officer."

At the end of the line, Spencer led his soldiers to tie the hands and feet of the three outcast-looking fellows to the ground.

"Don't say anything about running away, you still dare to steal food! What do you think you bastards have in their heads? Put the good life that is about to come, but you still want to continue to be a homeless? How dare you beat me? ”

"Let you tm hit me! Let you hit me! Spencer couldn't get angry, and raised his foot and kicked a few guys on the ground.

The Artists came to the back of the line, pushed through the crowd of onlookers, and saw Spencer punching and kicking the people on the ground.

"Spencer! What's going on? Otto stopped Spencer's movements.

Spencer turned his head to see that it was Yat and the others, quickly withdrew his hand, wiped the blood oozing from his nose, and replied: "My lord, these mongrels have stolen the grain from the carriage and plan to slip away at night!" I caught them, and they dared to resist! ”

Art walked to the side of a few people on the ground, waved away the few soldiers who were holding them back, squatted down and asked, "You guys, why are you running away?" Am I not giving you enough food? Or am I putting you in danger? ”

"Master~ Please let us go, we don't dare anymore~" A homeless man had a blue nose and swollen face, tears and snot flowing all over the ground.

"Answer my question!" Art said coldly.

"My lord, we don't want to go to that valley~We're going home~" said another homeless man, crying.

Art turned to Spencer and asked, "Where did you recruit them?" Did you trick you? ”

"No, no, sir. These people all went with us voluntarily, and these mongrels didn't say anything all the way, and they ate and drank no less than others on weekdays. Seeing that he was about to get to the place, he actually came to such a hand. Spencer was also speechless.

"Where are you guys from?" Art asked again.

The three of them kept silent.

"The three of them are refugees from the north of Provence~" An answer came from the crowd.

After a moment of silence, Spencer suddenly realized, "TM, you bastards originally wanted to follow us all the way back to Provence?" I said why you guys are so active in traveling south every day! ”

"What do you think of us? What about you when we are mules? The more Spencer spoke, the more angry he became, and he was beaten again.

Art looked around at the crowd behind him, drank Spencer, and asked loudly to the few people on the ground, "When you accepted the recruitment, did you do it out of your own volition?" Do you promise to be my lord? ”

A few people on the ground were silent and acquiesced.

"All the way south, can I put you in danger of starvation?"

Several people remained silent.

"Good! Since you have acquiesced, then tell us what you are guilty of. ”

"As a lord, he fled without permission from his lord and committed the crime of defection."

"Stealing grain for personal gain has been committed by stealing grain."

"Not only did he not stop when he was prevented, but he also dared to maliciously hurt people, and he was also an army officer, which is the most serious crime of rioting."

Art announced the crimes of several people, then paused for a moment and ordered Ron, the chief of the guard beside him, "Drag them all down and behead them!"

Ignoring the heart-rending pleadings of the people on the ground, Art resolutely turned to leave......

Beiguan Military Fort, the gateway to the barony of the valley.

The main body of the fort has been basically completed, the walls of each fort on all sides are only more than 150 feet wide, the wall is 25 feet high, the base of the wall is five feet thick, the top is four feet, the wall is made of clay with rattan wheat straw as the net warp as the material, mixed with a small number of stones, and there is a wooden stake inlaid every two feet in the wall; There were battlements every one foot at the head of the wall, and around the head of the wall and in the middle of each fort wall there was a wooden arrow tower that could hold six.

The entire fort was less than a quarter of the size of the county town of Tignets, so there was only one fort gate facing the dense forest road. The fort gate is a hinged floor-to-ceiling gate with a heavy oak gate and iron bars dismantled from the Biltenberg gate.

A single-storey stone house thirty feet wide, twenty feet long, and fifteen feet high has been built near the hillside of the fort, and this is the only building in the entire fort that is made entirely of stone and caulked with clay, and will serve as the residence of the owner of the fort and the internal fortress of the entire fort.

With the stone house as the center, there are five or six large wooden houses on the left and right, as well as a storehouse, a house, a stable and livestock shed, a firewood shed, a well, and other buildings.

Outside the fort is a cleared lot, which will be where the garrison of the fort will train on weekdays.

"Master, according to preliminary estimates, there can be about 100 permanent soldiers in the Beiguan Military Fort on weekdays, and 200 people stationed in wartime can barely squeeze out."

"The space inside the fort is limited, so the soldiers have to go to the open space outside the fort when they train on weekdays."

"The craftsmen are currently working on the improvement of the houses and storehouses in the fort, which are expected to be completed by the end of the summer at the latest. But now it is also possible to station soldiers. "Cooper, the civil governor of the valley and the steward of Art, is accompanying Art on his tour of the North Pass Fort.

Since Lawrence was urgently transferred to the northern caravan, the old Cooper, who had been a builder, took up the burden of the construction of the Beiguan military fort, constantly shuttling back and forth between the Beiguan military fort and the valley wooden fort.

Art and his party came out of the stone house of the military fort, walked under the gate of the fort, and climbed the castle wall from the wooden ladder on the side.

Standing behind the battlement of the fort wall and looking out, there is a dense forest canyon on one side, and a vast wasteland on the other, and a road pressed by people and bicycles connects two completely different worlds into one......
