Chapter 48: Post-War Inquiries

The heavy rain in the mountains continued, and after losing their leader, the momentum of the black-clad cavalry was exhausted, and the remaining cavalry turned their horses' heads and prepared to charge again, but the time was fleeting.

As several captains of the guards shouted in the rain, the adjusted guards closed their lines again, and the cold spears stood behind the shields, forming a solid steel wall, constantly shrinking into the encirclement.

Unable to pick up their speed, most of them were pulled off their horses by spears, and a few rolled down the hillside into the deep mountain stream. As a result, the battle is slowly coming to an end, and the sound of slashing is gradually weakening.

---------------

In the camp's large tent, the wood and oil in the brazier were mixed and burning, giving off a smell of tar. Lorain Hill sat in the center, flanked by a dozen or so intact sword-wielding guards.

She had changed into a loose white dress, her arms were bandaged, her hair was still a little wet after drying, and she was hanging on both sides of her chest, staring at the black-clothed cavalry tied up in the tent.

Two strong guards pinned the cavalryman to the ground, and the black and red mask on his face had been torn off at this moment, revealing a face with black hair and blue eyes.

"Still won't he say it?" Lorain Hill's cold voice came from her seat.

"Yes, Miss. They searched through their bodies and found no other markers. The guard next to him replied in awe.

In the fierce and dangerous cavalry hedge just now, Loren Hill's courage and bravery impressed the guards present. In the hearts of the guards, Lorain Hill was just a kind-hearted and gentle eldest lady, or maybe add that incomparable beauty.

But now in their hearts, Lorain Hill is not only the object of their allegiance, but also a heroic commander worthy of follower, who can be entrusted with his life, and the kind of respect and admiration that rises from the bottom of their hearts is unimaginable before.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, who would have believed that the seemingly weak and beautiful eldest lady of the Chamber of Commerce would have such courage and courage to slash the leader of the enemy in front of the battle with a sword in the extremely dangerous cavalry charge.

"Yes." Lorain Hill's words paused, and then spoke.

"Pull his head up."

One of the guards grabbed the black-clad cavalryman by the hair, making his dark blue eyes face the eldest lady in front of him.

The cavalryman looked at the beautiful lady in front of him, and there was a look of disbelief in his eyes, and the striking golden hair and the bandages on his arms all showed that it was she who had slain his leader with a sword.

I thought that the target this time was a weak bird, but I didn't expect it to be a god-winged bird that tore through the wind, and that shocked and incredulous expression appeared on his face.

Lorain Hill no longer asked the black-clad cavalryman questions, but opened his mouth to analyze.

"It's not so much that you're killers, but you're more like professional soldiers, which is not something that ordinary forces and organizations can cultivate."

"We, the Karetes Chamber of Commerce, travel between Zephyr and Verga, and enemies and adversaries will only come from these two places."

"The West Wind nobles have gradually degenerated over the years, and the small noble families can't afford to support you at all, and the private army style of the big noble families has never heard of you like you." Lorain Hill paused.

"Then the only thing left may be the business family that is also Verga."

"The Vilga Business Alliance is managed by a trade union, and the decision-making level of the guild is composed of 26 high-ranking councillors, each of whom represents a large chamber of commerce in Verga."

"Except for our Karitas, among the remaining chamber of commerce representatives, there are only six chambers of commerce related to shipping, river transportation, and water."

"Excluding the 2 chambers of commerce that have never crossed paths with us, all that remains..."

Lorain Hill looked into the horseman's eyes and began to read the names one by one.

"Yagtirin"

"Giorgio"

"Dayas"

"Tisiphone"

At the thought of Tisiphone, the horseman's pupils finally changed.

Is it Tisiphone? Lorain Hill had a guess in his heart, so he ignored it and let the cavalryman be taken down and held in solitary confinement. After that, she brought up a few cavalrymen alone, and repeated the trick, but in a different way and in a different order, and after a few times, she finally determined that the black-clothed cavalry were from the Tisiphone family.

The Tisiphone family was mainly engaged in the sale of weapons, whale oil, bow materials, dyes, etc., and had their own fleet, and it is said that they even worked as pirates and received assassination orders in their early years, which is the more radical kind of large chambers of commerce.

After letting the other guards retreat, Loren Hill returned to his tent. Rubbing her tense face, the girl rolled on the floor with her pillow in her arms a few times.

I was tired, not only to maintain a dignified image to boost everyone's confidence, but also to think hard about where the enemy came from and what his purpose was. She just wanted to get a good night's sleep now and didn't think about anything else.

Sitting up on the soft floor, Lorain Hill opened the small cabinet next to him, took out a bottle of cold fruit yogurt from it, drank it in small sips, and then fell asleep on the pillow. Before, because of constant vigilance, she had never rested well.

At this time, outside the tent, the rain slowly stopped, and a faint white light appeared on the horizon, and the morning of the day began quietly.

By the time Lorain Hill woke up again, it was already noon, and the clouds in the sky had dispersed, and the hot sun shone on the earth, forming a strong white light on the earth.

Walking out of the blackout tent, the girl blocked the harsh sunlight with her hands, and by this time the camp had been cleaned up, the chaotic battlefield had been cleaned up, and the weapons, corpses, and broken goods that had been scattered in the rain had been properly disposed of.

Thanks to the extraordinary potion prepared by Loren Hill in advance, most of the chamber guards were able to save their lives, the broken bones were fixed on the board, the wounds were bandaged, and the rest was to slowly heal the wounds later.

When the butler Seres saw Lorain Hill coming out, he hurriedly stepped forward to inquire about the injury, he had been dealing with various matters after the war, and only then was he able to meet this bold eldest lady.

"I'm fine, how about the others, have they all cleaned their wounds well, otherwise they will be infected."

Loren Hill said that she didn't have much of a problem, in fact, the wounds on her body had long been healed, and you couldn't even find traces of injuries on the fair skin when the bandage was removed, but this healing speed was too amazing, and she didn't want to attract attention with it, so she kept the bandage in shape.

"Miss Lacey, everyone else has taken care of it. Miss, please rest assured, they are all battle-hardened veterans, and they are very familiar with many situations, so there will be no major problems. Even the captives were bandaged as you said. ”

"Well, good, these captives will be of great use later."

The girl nodded with satisfaction, and the butterfly hairpin in her blonde hair reflected a beautiful light under the sun, and then she returned to her former gentle and lovely appearance.
