Section 124: Victory in the Border War

Phoebe looked at Bruce as he got closer, fortunately his retainers were busy chasing down the scattered Jeff Swiss soldiers, while Bruce watched intently as his soldiers drove away the enemy.

"Just kill their lords, and the victory will be ours." Phoebe's eyes were filled with feracity, and he endured the pain of the soldier's trampling on him, and endured the flesh and mud on the ground.

"This wave of enemies is resisted." Bruce looked up at the sky, which was overcast, there should be a rain coming, and the continent's climate was generally wet and cold.

"Coward, don't retreat." A sergeant major of Jeffrey's army, with a brown beard on his face, brandished his sword and shouted at the fleeing soldiers, some of whom hesitantly gathered around him with his efforts.

But just as the sergeant major, who had been trying to gather his soldiers, turned his head, an arrow struck him in the neck, and the arrow pierced his neck, and the dutiful sergeant's eyes widened, and he fell like half a piece of wood.

"Whoosh, whoosh~~." Eve shot the only two arrows left in her hand, and her excellent archery skills gave Bruce and Grleton a big advantage on the battlefield, especially when Eve finally targeted Jeffrey's sergeant major.

Eve ran out of arrows in her hand, she put her bow on her back, drew the short sword at her waist, and when she was about to go into battle, her eagle-sharp eyes swept across the battlefield, but her heart skipped a little.

"Something is wrong." Eve furrowed her slender golden eyebrows, a hunter's instinct, everything seemed normal on the surface, but it was secretly turbulent, and Eve did not ignore this instinct, which had allowed her to escape the attacks of ferocious beasts many times.

Suddenly, Eve noticed that something was different, and Bruce, who was originally in the center, distanced himself from everyone else, which meant that when Bruce was in danger, no one could rush to help.

"Bruce, little ~~." Eve hurriedly shouted at Bruce, but in the noisy environment, her voice was quickly drowned out, and she also discovered a terrible thing, that is, a nobleman with a knife was sneaking towards Bruce, and Bruce was unaware.

Phoebe's eyes were like a leopard staring at his prey, and he instinctively sensed the best distance to attack, so his body arched like a spring, and his powerful legs pressed tightly on the ground.

"Bruce, those cowards have fled, should we continue the pursuit now?" Stukov wiped a handful of blood from his face, which he had slashed at a soldier's throat, and turned to Bruce in question.

"No, we can't cross the river, there are too few people." Bruce shouted at Stukov, everyone on the battlefield was affected by all kinds of noisy sounds, coupled with the death they were facing all the time, they subconsciously vented their fear in this way.

"Damn it." Suddenly, Stukov's face changed, as if he had seen something terrible, and he took out a knife from his boot, grabbed the tip of the knife and threw it at Bruce.

"Whew." Seeing Stukov's actions suddenly, Bruce subconsciously dodged for a moment, only to see the knife fly over his left cheek.

"Oh~." A scream came from behind Bruce, and Stukov's knife was stabbed in Phoebe's arm.

"Horse's." Bruce was startled when he heard the voice behind him, and he immediately swung his sword to force Phoebe back, and the two switched positions and confronted each other.

"You're Lord Grington, the new Baron?" Phoebe looked at the young man in front of him, he narrowed his eyes, he didn't expect the new baron to be so young.

"Who are you?" Bruce looked at the nobleman in front of him, he was covered in mud and blood, but the dirty armor and smock could still show the family pattern, there was no doubt that he was a nobleman, but it was interesting that few nobles did, they cared for their appearance more than anything else.

"Lord Jeffrey's retainer." Phoebe clenched his sword, and although he was wounded in the shoulder, he could still fight with it.

"Are you going to go it alone with me?" Bruce held the sword in both hands, shook the tip of the sword in his hand, and said to Phoebe.

"If you want, we can have a noble heads-up, a solemn one-on-one." Phoebe's brown eyes are staring at Bruce, and he hopes that Bruce will agree, then he will kill Bruce no matter what.

"But you're dirty like a mercenary." A smile tugged at the corners of Bruce's lips as he straightened up, his sword in front of him with his feet apart, and said to Phoebe.

"But my bloodline is still noble." Phoebe said angrily, and at this time the surrounding Jeffrey's soldiers had been dispersed, leaving only the captives and the wounded.

"Your Lord." Stukov, Eve, Edward, and others walked over, and behind them were Glinton's soldiers.

"Looks like you don't want to fight?" Phoebe looked around, full of Grinton's soldiers, and he sneered, stuck his sword on the ground and said to Bruce.

"Maybe next time, when you're in a good mood." Bruce pulled out his sword from the ground, slung it over his shoulder, and said to Phoebe.

The first Glinton-Jeffrey territorial dispute ended, but Jeffrey did not give up, he gathered the remnants of his defeated army in the middle of the makeshift camp, and the reason he was so fearless was that he knew that Glinton's forces were not enough to attack him.

"This abominable bed bug is like an unbeatable cockroach." Standing on the ramparts, looking at Jeffrey's makeshift camp on the border, Stukov said to Bruce.

"There's always a way to kill cockroaches, it's just not time yet." Bruce leaned against the wall, he also knew that he was not strong enough to have a decisive battle with Jeffrey, and if he couldn't eliminate Jeffrey's living force, then he would definitely make a comeback next time.

"But they can't attack us anymore." Edward brought a jug of ale, and he said as he handed it to the two of them.

"I hate the feeling of being barricaded in the doorway, it's terrible." Stukov took a sip of the ale and said to Bruce and Edward.

"I have a way to get rid of these bastards, but I need to wait." Bruce said to the others.

"Waiting for what?" Edward asked curiously.

"Waiting for my army, there are two reinforcements coming, and with their help, I will not only drive these border bugs away, but also occupy the nest of the big bug." Bruce looked back at Edward and Stukov, then at the makeshift camp on the border, and said confidently.
