The dignified Earl became the village chief, and the surprised Mark Donn couldn't imagine what was going on, and his heart was a little more complicated.

"Earl, forgive me for my rudeness, I have become a little impatient because of the order. ”

The old village chief, Joseph Korovin, identified himself, and when he saw that Mark Donn knew him, he did not make any more movements, but his hand that clenched the saber did not relax in the slightest, and his expression was still full of indifference and rejection.

After Langton's observation, most of the people hiding in the village were armed with weapons, and some were armed with military bows and crossbows.

They are no ordinary villagers!

"Lord Earl, I wonder how you can trust us for who we are?" asked Langton, "We're willing to prove it." ”

Joseph Korovin: "Leaving my village is proof. ”

"This ......" Mark Towne felt that the old earl was difficult to communicate, but he was afraid of his identity and did not dare to be rude, and he was depressed because he did not want to leave the village and go to the wild to eat and sleep.

Langton was very dry: "Let's leave immediately." ”

It is not an enemy, and if you want to gain trust, you should be sincere, and it is very simple for the soldiers to bring logistics and materials and set up tents to make a camp.

It wasn't long before the crowd rested outside the village.

In this regard, Mark frowned and said: "Gabry, we may have to drag on here for a long time, why don't you go back to Stuart Port to deliver a letter......"

Sending a letter back to the port of Stuart?

Fly over the western plains and central regions of the Northlands, go to the easternmost seaside, and cross a Northland to deliver a message?

Langton shook his head: "I can't fly this far." ”

"Moreover, the Count Joseph Korovin is probably already informing the Archduke Romanov. ”

Mark: "No, he will not reveal the position of the Grand Duke of Romanov." ”

"We don't know how long we have to wait. ”

"Then I'll look somewhere else. ”

Anyway, Langton didn't want to fly across the Northland and return to Port Stuart, and would rather fly in the mountains a few more times than go back!

The current Langton is not the Gabriel he used to be.

Although Mark disagreed, he was in a position to refuse to carry it out.

Mark was a little helpless about Langton's changes, but he didn't say much, and when he saw that the soldiers had finished camping, he ordered some of them to rotate and let the men cook, and the two thousand people were busy in a blink of an eye.

A village on a mountainside.

Joseph Korovin looked at the camp with a complicated expression, without any intention of informing the members of the Romanov family.

The villagers did not bother the old village chief either.

He looked at it silently for a moment, then disappeared into the woods in the blink of an eye.

......

......

Fly low above the treetops.

Although it was not a meal, and there was no smoke rising from the mountains, Landon flew more than ten miles and found some signs of human activity.

But he took to the skies for a long time to observe, but still couldn't find anything.

The Snowy People are very good at hiding!

Especially in the mountains!

But......

If you want to live, no matter where you are, human beings can't do without water sources!

Rivers, lakes, streams, and mountain springs have all become the focus of observation as Langton thinks.

Then discover more traces of human activity!

Search all the way until the evening.

After going back to the camp to eat something, Langton took Carrie to fly into the night sky to look for people, and along the water source found during the day, as well as traces of human activity, they soon saw conspicuous lights under the night!

The windows of the humble wooden house are also nailed with a few wooden boards, leaving only about three fingers of the gap to let in the wind, and the light of the lamp is faint.

"It's not easy. ”

"Tuk Tuk~"

"Is anyone home?"

"Come out and meet you, I am Gabriel Langton, from the Northlands, and I have come to see the Archduke Romanoff on the orders of the Duchess Isabella Stuart. ”

"It also brought a call to war from the current military minister. ”

Lanton knocked on the door to look for someone, and the originally quiet village suddenly became dead silent, and after a long while, the simple wooden house in front of him slowly opened the door.

"I know you've been in a very bad situation in the snowy region since it was attacked by the barbarians. ”

"But don't be scared to that extent......

"You said you were from the Northlands, what is there to be right?"

The thin middle-aged woman went out with a firewood knife in her hand, her expression was full of nervousness and defensiveness, and she seemed to have mustered up a lot of courage to dare to come out.

Langton frowned, took out the letter he was carrying, and handed it over: "This is the letter from the Duchess Isabella and the call to war of the Empire. ”

The middle-aged woman just looked at the letter in Lan Don's hand, did not answer, did not speak, a look of hesitation appeared on her face, and she was still holding the firewood knife.

"I can't read. ”

This is the sorrow of backward times, where civilians have no qualifications, no conditions, and no ability to learn the written word.

Langton was speechless: "Then how can I prove it to you?"

"Is your village chief here?"

"You don't even have a literate person here, do you?"

The middle-aged woman shook her head: "We don't have a village chief. ”

At this time, a middle-aged woman with a short spear came out of the wooden house next to her, and took the two letters without saying a word and looked at them.

The others slowly came out of the hut and stood together with their weapons on guarded looks.

"You are all women and children......"

Looking at these old and weak women and children who came out of the wooden house, Langton was stunned, he didn't expect that there was not a single young man in this small village.

"No wonder Joseph Korovin didn't let us into the village, and you were so guarded. ”

"Joseph Korovin?"

Hearing Langton mention the name, the middle-aged woman who was looking at the letter suddenly took a step back and pointed a short spear at him in panic.

The crowd also raised their weapons and prepared for battle.

Seeing this, Lan Dun frowned, gave Carrie beside him a look, and then released his invisible telekinesis, ready to seize the weapons in their hands at any time, and asked suspiciously, "What the hell is going on with you?"

"Why did you react so much when I mentioned the Earl of Changlin Fortress?"

The middle-aged woman with a short spear: "The Count of Changlin Fortress is dead!"

"You don't want to deceive us!"

Hearing this, Langton immediately realized that something was wrong: "You guys misunderstood!"

If that old village chief was not Joseph Korovin, Earl of the Snowy Forest Fortress, who would he be, and what was the purpose of impersonating that earl?

Things seem a bit confusing.

"As you can see, we are Northlanders, and we have come by command, without any malice. ”

"You don't have to be so nervous. ”

Having mastered the magic and not knowing how to gain the trust of these people, seeing that there were no transcendents among them, Lanton secretly cast a spell to confuse.

Asked directly: "Who is the person who pretends to be Joseph Korovin, Count of Changlin Fortress?"

Affected by the spell, the middle-aged woman with a short spear subconsciously replied: "It's a slave merchant who has taken refuge in the barbarians!"

"Slave traders?" Landon: "They're going to capture you Snowy people for the barbarians?"

"So, the villagers of that village are slave catchers?"

Middle-aged woman with a short spear: "Yes." ”

Langton: "What about your army in the snowy region, what about the soldiers of the Romanovs, who don't care if their people live or die?"

Although it was affected by magic, because the effect was not great, the middle-aged woman of the short spear hesitated for a moment before she spoke: "I don't know. ”

This answer made Langton's brow furrow: "Those slave traders have connections with the barbarians. ”

"Yes. The middle-aged woman with a short spear: "There is a barbarian army left in the snowy region. ”

"When the slave catchers catch people, they sell them to them. ”

"Oops!"

Two thousand recruits were stationed outside the village disguised by the slave catchers, and if the slave merchant contacted the barbarians to sneak attack, the consequences would be unimaginable!

"Carrie, you stay here!"

With a command, Langton immediately used his mental power to rush back.

"Why did you tell him everything?" "yes, we're not sure who they are!" "What if he's a slave catcher disguised to trick us?" "Why don't we leave the village......"

As soon as Langton left, the middle-aged woman with a short spear also came back to her senses, frowning at the fact that she had told everything she knew.

Listening to what the villagers said, her face suddenly became extremely ugly.

The spear was aimed at Carrie, who had been left behind.

"What did you just do?"

After spending time with Tywin, Sauron, Annie, Tithuba, Maleficent, Artemisia, and Talia, and receiving their teachings, Carrie is no longer the ignorant girl she once was.

For the current situation, I have seen the cruelty of this era, and I understand that being merciful to the enemy is my own cruelty.

The release of mental power instantly made this group of old and weak women and children unable to stand steadily.

"I have no ill will towards you, but it doesn't mean that you can sword me with a sword!"

"Stay here and wait for Gabry to come back. ”

......

......

Lanton flies at full speed in the night sky.

In less than an hour, they returned to the camp stationed at the foot of the mountain in the hidden village.

"Mark, where are you?"

Mark Towne, who was patrolling the camp, saw Ranton hurrying back, thinking that he had finally found someone: "News of the Romanovs?"

"Not yet. ”

Langton shook his head and said, "I have bad news for you. ”

"That village chief is not Joseph Korovin, he is a slave trader in disguise, they are a slave catcher!"

"What?"

Mark didn't expect someone to dare to pretend to be a nobleman, and he didn't expect someone to dare to pretend to be the famous Earl of Changlin Fortress.

"How dare he?"

"This slave hunting team has a connection with the barbarians, and the barbarians have also left a special group of slaves in the snowy region. Langton added.

"What?"

Mark: "Oh no!"

As a knight who was proficient in military affairs, he immediately thought of the terrain here, knowing that the slave catchers in the villages on the mountainside could attack at any time, and they were at the foot of the mountain to fight back, and they were not familiar with the surrounding environment.

It's going to be very passive!

"I immediately arranged for the soldiers to be ready for battle. ”

"Okay, I'll quietly go and find out about the slave hunters hiding in the village, and you should be careful of the enemy's sneak attack. ”

In the blink of an eye, Ranton turned into a black shadow and flew to the quiet village on the mountainside.

The humble wooden houses are brightly lit.

After casting the illusion spell, Langton infiltrated the village to investigate, but he didn't realize that all the wooden houses in the village with oil lamps were empty.

They've already run!

"That's not right!"

"There's a chance they'll launch a sneak attack!"

But Landon returned to the camp, and Mark, who had commanded the soldiers to prepare for battle, did not notice anything out of the ordinary.

"They all ran away?"

"Damn!"

Unable to recognize the slave trader pretending to be a nobleman, Mark was depressed, and even more ashamed that he had not been tough.

If he directly ordered the soldiers to enter the village, he would definitely not let these outlaws escape.

Langton: "I always felt that it wasn't going to be that simple. ”

Mark snorted coldly: "Of course it won't be easy, dare to pretend to be a nobleman, that old guy has already planned to not let us go back alive!"

"Run away now, maybe to inform the barbarians hiding in the snowy region!"

Langton was troubled: "If the barbarians are blocked outside the mountain......"

"I'm afraid it's going to be hard for us to get out. ”

"Gabry, can you find the Grand Duke of Romanov through those women?" Max Suo suggested after a moment, "With the support of the Snow Troops, we should be able to find a chance to exterminate those barbarians!"

Langton: "Then I'll do it again." ”

Mark nodded: "I will move the troops to the village on the mountainside." ”

"Waiting for your good news. ”

After discussing the plan, Langton flew to the hidden village where the old and weak women and children were hiding, but before he was halfway there, he found a fire burning behind him.

"Even a mere slave catcher dares to attack two thousand soldiers?"

I am worried that the fire will be burned.

Langton, who had a heartfelt eye, decisively turned back.

Soon, he could see that the fire that lit up the night sky was the burning of trees, and that the soldiers' camp was burning all around it.

"Gabry, it's good that you didn't run far, help move the logistics to the village!"

Seeing Langton fly back, Mark, who was directing the soldiers to carry grain and grass, breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "I ordered the soldiers to move the camp, it should have been discovered by those slave catchers, they didn't run far!"

"So they set us on fire and wanted to burn us to death!"

"Oops. ”

In the middle of the mountains, surrounded by trees, the fire that illuminates the night burns, and even if it is extinguished, it is very expensive.

"The act of setting fire to the slave catchers shows that they have no fear......

Mark: "You mean the barbarians aren't far from here?"

Langton: "Possibly!"

Seeing him use his mental power to put the logistics supplies in the village, Mark muttered, "But no matter what, we should solve the fire first." ”
