Chapter 1: An Unexpected Hostile Situation

On the wide plain, thunderous footsteps sounded, dense footsteps from far and near, in the sight of the force, is a long line of strong warriors, lined up in a long dragon type of marching on the plain, on both sides of the crowd are countless cattle, sheep and livestock are being driven together with the warriors, rushing together.

In the middle of this large procession, several tall horses marched through the procession, and behind them were a large number of two carriages loaded with goods and covered with tarpaulins, and from the high and uplifted frame in the carriages, and the carriage passing over the dry earth, leaving a deep imprint, it was evident that the goods on the carriage must have been very heavy.

At this time, Evan's face was full of smiles, and he rode proudly on his horse in the middle of the team, beside him, there were also three captains of Olaf, Sanchez, and Ivar, who were also riding horses, and Ole as the deputy captains of each team must sit in their own team in the absence of the captain, leading everyone to march according to the predetermined route. As for Galai and Sillo, they led the thousands of people who had returned to obedience, following behind.

Evan believed that, based on Galai and Sillow's experience, they were not yet able to manage the new people.

Now this sturdy team marching on the plains is the team that Evan has set out, and now they have traveled on the route home for twelve days, and there are thousands more people than when they returned, but with the addition of these people and supplies, their march has slowed down significantly, twelve days. It took only eight days to walk, and that's not counting the first two days of traveling.

Because. Along the way, when passing through the territory of the three chiefs. The three chiefs prepared the promised goods and handed them to Evan at the edge of their respective territories, and their speed did not slow down, but although the speed was slow when they returned, it did not affect the joy of Evan and the warriors, and when they looked up at the herds of domestic animals around them, and looked at the large number of carriages behind them, everyone felt joy from the bottom of their hearts.

These livestock and goods on horse-drawn carts. Except for the three Anthony brothers, most of the rest were sent by the three leaders of Calis, Aguero, and Conse.

They are not kind, seeing that Evan is poor, and the tribe needs wealth and food to help Evan for development, but after Evan's planning, under the rude brutality of his adoptive father Olaf, and then a few of them are fueling the trouble. After only two days of bargaining, the three chiefs finally bought Ramqvist's territory from them.

However, when the negotiations were over, the three chiefs got their wish and got the coveted territory. What did Evan think, how did the three leaders look unhappy with their dark faces. Unhappy look.

Of course, the three of Calis were happy or not, and Evan didn't care. He's happy anyway, he really feels happy from the bottom of his heart. No one thought that Evan would use this waste land for them to sell it for a sky-high price, and it was the three of Calis who sent it to the door for Evan to slaughter, and now that the negotiations are over, seeing the three leaders with a painful look on their faces, Evan and Olaf and others can't help but feel even more emotional.

Today, when he saw the bitter-looking Calis in the crowd of people delivering goods, Olaf pretended to be affectionate like a friend who had not seen him for many years, stepped forward and hugged Calis, and patted him on the back forcefully, praising him as a good man.

Of course, these are all done by Evan around his adoptive father, since the other party is so generous, acting as a fortune boy, as the center of this negotiation, his adoptive father gives the most warm hug to the sponsor, and talks with Calis cordially from the heart, which is essential, which can really reflect that Olaf attaches importance to Calis as a good person, this good customer, on the other hand, it also reflects Olaf's politeness and extremely good cultivation, "I know that I thank the sponsor, What a step forward this is, and how good this usual cultivation is. ”

For the enthusiastic Olaf, Calis endured the pain in his flesh, the smile on his face was even more ugly than crying, and the whole image of a tortured and forced smile and anger bag made Evan and them happy in their hearts.

Although Calis put on a pitiful face because of the pain in his flesh, how could the nervous Olaf give him a little sympathy? After the hug was polite, Olaf waved his hand, turned the horse's head cleanly, sat on the horse and galloped forward, leaving only the back of his brown head for Calis, which made Calis almost cry at that time.

Although most of the day has passed, Evan felt amused when he saw Olaf chatting loudly beside him, this time relying on the outstanding performance of his adoptive father, the gain is not small, remembering that Calis's expression and fire-breathing eyes when they parted in the morning, Evan felt amused.

However, fortunately, so much oil and water were knocked out from the three of Calis, otherwise Evan would really have to worry about eating, and it was possible that Evan would become the first lord of the Navia Peninsula to be eaten by the civilians.

Looking at the materials and goods in front of him, Evan knew that these things could last for two more months, surrounded by such a strong enemy, Evan had at least two months of respite, and he could do a lot of things in these two months, how could this make him unhappy?

In such a cheerful atmosphere, the team moved slowly, and suddenly something seemed to happen at the front of the line? The two fast horses galloped towards where Evan was, and this action also caused the soldiers on the march to cast puzzled eyes.

"My lord! This man says he's someone sent by Lord Scholes and has something important to report to you. ”

As soon as the horse approached, and before it could be stopped, the stout man on the horse jumped off the horse's back, fell to one knee, and reported loudly to Evan and them. With his movements, the lean man on the other horse immediately dismounted and fell to one knee. He bowed his head deeply and made a humble gesture to the few people in front of him.

"The Great Earl of Evan. On behalf of my family, Lord Scholes, I greet you and tell you as my lord intended. Three days ago, the two lords of Enyeyama and Maskira, with about 20,000 warriors, took advantage of the passage and stationed themselves on two hills about a day in front of them, blocking the junction and preparing to attack you. ”

Seeing that the legendary Earl Evan was in front of him, before the other party could speak, the soldier who delivered the letter loudly told Evan and the others the purpose of the trip.

"Enyeama? Masquira? ”

Hearing what the messenger said, Olaf beside him couldn't help but repeat the familiar name, and the smile on his face slowly dissipated. A serious expression was revealed.

"Did your lord tell you to bring anything else?"

Hearing the messenger's words, Evan pondered for a moment before raising his head, staring at the lean man in front of him, and asked.

"My lord has always wanted to be friends with Count Evan, and this time, the two lords prepared a shameless sneak attack, which also made my lord very indignant. He is now ready for battle, and at the command of you, my 3,000 warriors will assist your warriors in attacking the enemy. ”

The messenger looked up, his eyes burning. With a determined look on his face, he expressed his leader's opinion to Evan.

"Thank you for me, your lord, you have been on the road for so long. Let's go down and eat a bite to eat! ”

Evan heard the messenger relay Scholes's meaning. He did not give advice at first, but told the messenger to go down and rest first. And he himself needs a little time to think about it.

"Yes! My lord! Before coming out, my lord arranged for me to stay with you in order to show you and your warriors the way. ”

Perhaps having guessed that Evan needed to counsel, the messenger once again showed the goodwill of their leader, and then stood up and followed the warrior who had brought him, leaving.

Seeing the sudden appearance of the messenger leaving, Evan immediately ordered the entire army to stop advancing and camp on the spot, while he sent someone to notify the other generals to come to discuss the matter as soon as possible, analyze and arrange the news just obtained, and send outposts to investigate.

With the order to set up camp, the team of more than 10,000 people immediately dispersed into a number of squads, preparing for the night, these things they have done many times recently, although the incident happened suddenly, it seemed to be in a hurry, but it did not seem chaotic at all, everyone divided labor in an orderly manner, doing what they should do.

A large group of people, such as Evan and Olaf, sat on the dry ground, discussing and analyzing the sudden hostile situation.

After hearing Sanchez relay the news sent by the messenger, everyone's expressions became serious for a while, although everyone's expressions were serious, but from everyone's eyes, Evan didn't see fear, he saw anger in everyone's eyes, at first it was only a little bit, and then it slowly became bigger and bigger, and it burned more and more.

Evan never spoke, he had been carefully observing the expressions of the people under him, he stared into the eyes of these people, because he believed that even if a person lied, there would always be a flaw in his eyes, but fortunately, he only saw anger in everyone's eyes.

"! What are they? Shameless to sneak up on us? ”

"Kill them!"

"My lord, I can lead my own brigade to wash this garbage in blood, please let me fight!"

When the flames grew louder and louder, their generals could no longer sit still, and everyone began to talk and clamored for a big battle with the enemy, so that the enemy's blood would flow in.

Seeing such a united and combative subordinate, Evan felt full of confidence, believing that even if there was a mountain linking heaven and earth in front of him, he and this group of warriors who followed him could overcome all kinds of difficulties to climb to the top of the mountain and trample the entire world under their feet.
