Chapter 26, Hear Me Roar
(Kavin, this chapter is a little unsatisfactory, wait for me to refine it, you can read it tomorrow!)
The captured nobles and merchants fled under their noses, and the enraged Herbert immediately blocked the town gate and docks, and then sent thousands of people to launch a carpet search in Craig Town, and the rough and reckless soldiers broke the peace of every household.
Born in a small aristocracy and rising from the bottom to become a general, Herbert doesn't like to beat around the bush, but it doesn't mean that he has brains, just think about it.
- Tywin has a problem handing over Lanton!
It is not known where the escapees are hiding.
Rune Marser is dead, and there is no one to control the Craig family, and in order to prevent chaos in Craig's town, Herbert, who is used to fighting steadily, will not move lightly.
But he decisively sent five hundred cavalry to the Cranston family's estate!
"Brother. ”
"Gabry. ”
"Gabry!"
Braving the torrential rain and riding on a muddy remote road, Christian Langton, who knew the strength of General Herbert and felt that the road ahead was worrying, was full of confusion.
"What's wrong?"
In his previous life, he lived as an only son all his life, and even though Langton fused the memories of his original body, he was still not used to being a younger brother, so he couldn't react when he heard the shouts.
Get the mount that Tywin brings to pick up.
Most of the rescued nobles rushed back to their respective families as soon as possible.
Their families are all in Craig's territory, and they escaped from the dungeon of the castle, but they can outrun the monk and can't escape the temple and catch people, and General Herbert will definitely be angry with their family.
Therefore, they must go back and take their families away!
The rescued merchants were shrewd, and although their family business was settled in Craig's town, it was impossible not to have considered a way out, knowing that the pursuers would come at any time, and Herbert's first target was not them, so he decisively chose to part ways.
There were fewer and fewer people around, and Christian was really worried about the pursuers: "Are we leaving Craig Territory now?"
Lanton shook his head, "No. ”
Hearing this, Chris frowned: "Then where are we going?"
Langton said: "If you don't go anywhere, just stay here." ”
"Are you crazy?" Hearing the conversation between the two, because the family itself was sparsely populated, the young nobleman who had lost his widower's father in the Battle of the Plains immediately glared at Lanton: "General Herbert has two thousand soldiers!"
"Shall we stay here and die?"
"Is two thousand soldiers a lot?" asked Langton with a disapproving expression.
Chris's eyes lit up: "We have a lot of people?"
Langton shrugged and said, "No." ”
"And how are we going to deal with two thousand enemies?" the young nobleman thought that Landon was really crazy.
Langton: "As long as we bring them together, we can be sure that we can wipe them all out!"
The old nobleman who cut off the head of Rune Marser in the dungeon did not leave because his son and brother were all killed in battle, and he was left alone.
Hearing Langton's words, he couldn't help but ask, "Do you have a plan?"
"That's right. Tywin, who was riding next to the old nobleman, nodded, "But before we do that, we need to try to hold off the enemy and buy more time." ”
The old nobleman hurriedly asked, "Can you tell me about your plan?"
Tywin shook his head, "I'm sorry, the plan can't be leaked, but I swear in the name of the Lannisters that if the plan succeeds, Herbert's 2,000 men will definitely be wiped out." ”
No one swears by their family name casually.
The old nobleman stared at Tywin intently, trying to see through him as a person.
But as the Duke of Kaiyan City, the guardian of the Western Realm, and the hand of two kings, the old lion once had power over the world and was feared by countless people, and his temperament and majesty were not comparable to ordinary people, and even the old nobles could not compare with Archduke Stuart.
Such a person cannot be a liar!
......
The murder of Rune Mather and the escape of the nobles and merchants who were imprisoned in the dungeon have caused a stir in Craig Town as the soldiers search for them.
Defected to Herbert to get the position of head of the sword master, and the old Nord was just trying to protect himself.
But he never thought of it.
With the death of Rune Marther, the head of the swordsmanship sect who was able to temporarily take over the five hundred guards of the Craig family suddenly jumped up and became the number two person in Craig Town!
As a vassal of the Craig family, the elder Nord did not blindly search the town with soldiers, but immediately found the widow of Rune Marcer, and Bara Craig, the eldest lady of the Craig family, asked about the location of the exit from the secret passage.
However.
Bara Craig ignored Old Nord's inquiry.
Even the death of her husband Rune Marser was indifferent, and she hid in her room without seeing anyone, ignoring anything.
In the end, it was the old Nord who reminded.
A distraught Herbert remembered to ask his new wife, Hannah Craig, and then get the news that the secret passage was in the woods to the south.
An army of 2,000 poured out.
The cavalry who went to the Cranston family estate also hurried to return the letter.
"General, the Cranston family has run away!"
Hearing the soldier's report, Old Nord immediately said angrily: "I already knew that Tywin Lannister was not a good man!"
"General, I am very familiar with the terrain of Craig Territory, let me lead the soldiers to capture the Cranston family, they will definitely not be able to escape!"
The rain is still falling.
While it would hinder the Cranston family's ability to escape, the rain would also wash away their tracks, making it difficult for the soldiers to hunt them down.
Hearing Old Nord's words, Herbert muttered, "I can give you three hundred hussars." ”
"But I want to capture not only the Cranston family, but all the nobles and merchants who have escaped, can you do it?"
"This ......"
There were quite a few nobles who had escaped, and their families were scattered in all directions of Craig's territory, and it would take at least four or five days to catch them all.
As for the businessmen who escaped, they may simply abandon their family business and go into hiding.
Old Nord did not dare to boast about Haikou easily.
"General... There are too many people running away... If they spread out......"
"Can't you do it if you disperse?" Herbert, who was a soldier, suddenly snorted coldly: "Since you take the initiative to ask for war, you must complete all the tasks, if you can't do it, why do you still speak?"
Hearing this, Old Nord hurriedly lowered his head: "The general atonements!"
"There are so many people who have escaped, I really don't know for sure......"
Herbert looked at Old Nord coldly for a moment, and then snorted coldly: "You still have self-knowledge." ”
Seeing that the general did not punish himself, Old Nord suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and asked cautiously: "Then ...... now?"
Herbert: "Take a hundred soldiers to chase down the Cranston family!"
"Tywin Lannister and Gabriel Langton must be brought back to me!"
"Yes!"
After receiving the order, the old Nord immediately took action.
......
The scheming Tywin knows it all too well.
The second step of the rescue plan will definitely make Herbert, who has lost the hostage, angry, and then send soldiers to pursue him.
Then comes the most important part of the whole plan!
It wasn't known what Tywin's plans were, even though he and Langton seemed to be in good hands.
But without leaving Craig's Collar and running around in the muddy wilderness in the rain, guessing that they were going to risk their lives, Chris and the others still couldn't help but worry.
Because of this practice.
The slightest carelessness is a catastrophe!
"Meet me, my name is Bethorne Evans. ”
Seeing the worried faces of the people around him, the old nobleman wanted to ease the atmosphere, so he opened his mouth and said, "Tywin, can I call you that?"
"Absolutely. ”
With no aristocratic status in this world, and an unstable foothold, Tywin would not care about calling these little things: "Sir Evans, please feel free. ”
"Are you a Southerner?"
"Sort of. Tywin: "But don't know about August's south." ”
These words aroused Bethorne's curiosity, and he hurriedly asked, "Are you from another continent?"
Tywin nodded, not answering directly.
"What about your customs?" Bethone was about to make small talk to him, "Do you believe in the Lord of Light or the Lord of Fire?"
Hearing this, Tywin hesitated for a moment and said, "No, I believe in the Seven Gods. ”
"Seven gods?" Bethone looked abrupt: "It turns out that you are from the Star Empire, no wonder I haven't heard of the surname Lannister." ”
Tywin: "Don't you know now?"
The sky was still thundering, and the dense raindrops were crackling on the leaves, dirt, and clothes, and listening to Tywin and Bethhorn's loud chatter, Chris and the others also put away some worries.
Dirt paths.
When the mount runs by, it leaves a series of conspicuous horseshoe prints.
Even if there is heavy rain, the footprints will not disappear for a while, and even more conspicuous!
Following the horseshoe prints, Old Nord finally found and attacked Tywin and the others who had escaped, which is also to blame for not hiding their traces.
for the sound of thunder and rain obscured the sound of horses' hooves.
As a result, the enemy is already very close, and Tywin and Ranton only realize it.
"Run!"
"Run, can you run?"
Finding the target of capture, Old Nord shouted arrogantly: "Dismount immediately and arrest him, otherwise we will kill him!"
The hunt and killing were well known.
Tywin and Langton ignored Old Nord's shouts, flicking their whips and running at full speed.
Glancing back at the enemy, Bethorn said in a deep voice, "They have more than a hundred light horsemen. ”
"You must not be overtaken!"
"Bethorne, you old guy too?"
At this time, the old Nord, who was in hot pursuit, found an old friend of the Evans family: "Take down Tywin Lannister and infatuated Gabrie next to you!"
"As long as you take them, I'll immediately intercede with Lord Herbert on your behalf!"
Hearing the shout, Bethorne, who was galloping on his horse, turned his head and said with a gloomy face: "Pierre Nord, you actually defected to Herbert?"
"Are you worthy of Baron Edric?"
"The Craig family is a thing of the past!" Pierre Nord: "If you are interested, dismount and surrender immediately, or I will never let you go when I catch you!"
"Just you?"
Bethhorn was full of disdain when he heard this.
Seeing that the words could not affect them, old Pierre immediately ordered the cavalry to launch a tactical encirclement: "Soldiers, let me go around to both sides to outflank them!"
"Try to catch me alive!"
Tywin hurriedly said, "Don't let them form a siege." ”
Bethorne: "Of course!"
Tywin drew his sword, "Do you dare to stop and fight them?"
"Then kill them!" Bethhorn immediately turned the horse's head, and the invisible ripple attached to the blade of the sword, and roared angrily to cut off the horse's tail and rush towards the old Nord who led the team.
"Look for death!"
Seeing this, Pierre was furious and hurriedly swung his sword to meet him.
"Block them!"
"Break it for me!"
Tywin's combat power is not high, he is a commander-in-chief, and in the face of ten times the enemy, Langton did not dare to hold it up, and hurriedly protected him and Chris to force back several cavalry.
The Cranston family handed over all their armor and martial arts.
Although Tywin provided the Locke family with the sword, they lacked the protection of the armor, and as soon as they came into contact, they suffered casualties.
"Don't stop, just rush over to me!"
Bethorne swung his sword to suppress Old Nord and roared to direct the actions of the crowd.
"Get out of here!"
The ripples on the blade shook, the rain splashed everywhere, and the invisible sword qi blasted out, knocking Old Nord off his horse in an instant.
"Follow me!"
Without Pierre's block, even if Bethorne was old, he was still unstoppable, and even relied on his superb horsemanship to quickly change a horse after killing a cavalryman!
Lan Dun swung his long sword and slashed continuously, burying his head in a fierce charge, and it didn't take long for him to pass through the crowd of enemy riders: "Rush out!"
"Keep running!"
"Don't let them run, turn to chase!"
He was knocked down by Bethaune, but Pierre was not injured, and got up in disarray and remounted his horse.
"Damn Bethorne Evans, I'm going to skin you and tear you apart!"
"If this continues, we will die!"
Pursued
Tywin: "Into the woods!"
"We've run so many laps here, everyone knows the terrain well, right?"
"Don't go head-to-head with them, drag it out until it gets dark, and we'll be able to run."
"What the hell did you get the plan?"
"You'll know when it's dark"
