Chapter 16: The Aftermath of the Battle

The bright and warm sun shines through the mist and sprinkles on the red snow, and the cold wind still rolls up the rusty smell.

Da-da-da-da!

The sound of scattered horses' hooves broke the silence, and a cavalry of more than twenty people, dressed in iron-clad armor and holding two-meter spears in their hands, hurried towards the surroundings of the Lemmwall Mountains.

Manan Jerome lifted his visor, gasping for breath, his chubby dark face filled with solemnity, and he was awakened at dawn by his panicked men, the notorious wolf thief jackdaw passing through the town area of Irwindale, seemingly targeting the Leenwall Mountains.

As the garrison of the town of Irwindal, Manan Jerome did not hesitate and immediately arranged for the sentry to hang tightly behind the wolf thieves.

This is adhering to the virtues of knighthood, well, this is just the responsibility of being a garrison officer, and he does not want to be held accountable by the superior afterwards, so as not to lose his hard-won official position.

Jackdaw, one of the most powerful wolf thieves in the northern part of the kingdom and synonymous with brutality and slaughter, Manan Jerome did not believe that any force could resist it within the area of the town of Irwindale.

But when Manan Jerome heard the sentinel return that the wolf thief jackdaw was targeting the area, he had to set out.

If the rest of the town of Irwindale didn't know what the area was, as a garrison, he knew that this was the kingdom's once abandoned outpost to monitor the situation in the Lomwall Mountains.

The kingdom's abandoned outpost is occupied by a force of wolf thieves, which is a very vague location of the incident, and if it is not handled well, the responsibility can be large or small.

Life and position, Manan Jerome wanted, so he waited until noon before leading the cavalry of the guard to hurry up.

......................

Crossing the vast snow, Manan Jerome rode cautiously on his horse until he saw the scene not far in front of him.

Black and red blood stained large swaths of pale snow, and broken weapons and broken corpses were discarded like garbage, and the eyes looked like a scarlet hell.

Horror and horror appeared on his face, and Manan Jerome's somewhat fat body trembled on his horse, especially when he saw the familiar blue armor and chainmail cloaks, the whole person seemed to have lost his soul, and he was in a trance.

He was not alone, but the cavalry guards of the entire town of Irwindale were like this, and when they saw such a bloody battle scene, they even fell off their horses and collapsed in the snow.

The glow of peace has been hanging over the Stoke Kingdom for more than ten years, and this is a group of soldiers who have never experienced battlefield killing, but after a few years of hard training.

"Jackdaw defeated?"

Manan Jerome, who had come to his senses, swallowed his saliva and looked at the hundreds of corpses. "Or is it wiped out?"

The blue armor and chainmail cloak are the signature garments of the wolf thief jackdaw, and Manan Jerome once fought and killed the jackdaw during a military operation, and the results can only be said to be good or bad, and it also won him the opportunity to become the town guard of Irwindale.

Now, the number of corpses in the snowy field in front of him is already telling Manan Jerome that the wolf thief jackdaw may have really been wiped out.

In a skirmish, the corpses left behind are far from the final casualties, but they can be used to approximate the losses of one side.

"If it's true, then this incident should shake the city of Edalas!" Manan Jerome rubbed his face, his heart was full of envy and jealousy, but his brain was not broken, and this credit was not something he could covet.

"Damn, you shit, move Lao Tzu, I want to know the details about this battle, hurry up and check it out."

Manan Jerome shouted viciously at the cavalry guards behind him, whipping him inexplicably, awakening their consciousness in fear.

Suddenly, Manan Jerome vaguely felt something, looked down at the slightly shaking snow, his face changed suddenly, and before he could react, a black cavalry team in the distance quickly approached.

The pitch-black armor, the sharp cavalry spear, and the cold and merciless eyes all told Manan Jerome that this was an extremely elite cavalry team, and he had no possibility of escaping.

Call!

Manan Jerome took a deep breath, as a veteran of the Ten Years of the Great Patriotic War, he forced himself to calm down quickly, turned his head to look at his subordinates, who were still in disarray, and vowed to train them hard when he returned.

Clamping the horse's belly, Manan Jerome stepped forward alone, seemingly fearless to meet the black cavalry team, and no one knew his inner state of mind.

"I'm Manan Jerome, the garrison of the town of Irwindale, who are you?" Manan Jerome clenched the long sword at his waist, and although he was only one person, he was not afraid to take the lead in the slightest.

Hearing this, Gregory Bell waved his hand to signal the Noxian Imperial cavalry behind him to stop, and looked at the black fat middle-aged man in front of him with a frown.

"We are the subordinates of the pioneer knight Lord Modrian, and this place has been assigned to Lord Modrian by the military headquarters of the city of Edallas, you have crossed the line!" Gregory Bell said coldly, the bloody momentum of the killing that had just been experienced pressed against Manan Jerome.

"Damn it, it's a knight!"

Manan Jerome felt that strong life energy, and his heart sank, he didn't expect to meet a knight in such a place, especially when he saw the other party's twenty elite cavalry faintly surrounding them.

"Lord Knight, I'm a subordinate of Lord Benny Izzy, and I've met with Lord Modrian once, and we're sorry that this crossing of the line was just to track down the wolf thief jackdaw!" Manan Jerome said decisively.

Gregory Bell did not let Manan Jerome go because of their flattering words, but slowly glanced at the cavalry guarding the town of Irwindale.

A slight cold sweat had soaked Manan Jerome's lining, and the smell of blood left over from the battle in front of him was lingering around his nose, and his heart became more and more uneasy.

Of course, he had heard the name of Modrian Perris, and as the garrison of the town of Irwindale, he had received a letter from Lord Benny Izzy more than a month ago, saying that a noble young master would come to the town of Irwindale and ask him to take care of one or two.

Take care of a fart, the aristocratic young master who can kill the wolf thief jackdaw needs my care? Manan Jerome complained loudly in his heart.

However, he still had a lot of doubts in his heart, and the meeting a few days ago was still vivid, when there was not a single knight in Modrian's cavalry, and the number of people was not as good as the one in front of him.

Manan Jerome didn't think deeply about the affairs of the nobility, which he could not participate in as a town garrison, and it was better to stay out of it.

"Lord Knight, since the wolf thief jackdaw has been dealt with by you, then we will take our leave and leave." Manan Jerome said cautiously bowing his head.

As if he didn't see any threat, Gregory Bell nodded silently, then turned his horse and left, leaving the Noxian Imperial cavalry behind him.

The sound of horses' hooves faded away, and Manan Jerome breathed a sigh of relief for the time being, a sly smile appeared on his fat dark face, and the loopholes in his words made him confirm that the wolf thief jackdaw had been eliminated by the other party.

As for the addition of a powerful force around the town of Irwindale, it is a good thing for him, after all, in the somewhat chaotic northern part of the kingdom, who knows when he will encounter a dangerous situation.

"The situation in the north of the kingdom is getting more and more chaotic, huh........ I don't know ......."

As a veteran oilman, Manan Jerome already sensed that the situation in the kingdom was wrong, but what could he do as a knight squire, there were many things that he could not know and participate in.

"Hopefully there will be no war!"

Xiao Se's back departed, and with a group of guards and cavalry who were still in chaos, they gradually drifted away and disappeared into the vast snow.

......................

Syllable!

The exquisite magic crystal lamp was knocked to the ground, and the broken crystal reflected the spilled sunlight, and a little blood dripped.

"What do you say? The wolf thief jackdaw was suspected of being eliminated by Modrian? The old man's voice rang out in the room, filled with anger and disbelief.

"Yes, my lord, I have seen many corpses belonging to the wolf thief jackdaw all over the snow." In front of the heavy desk, a middle-aged man in iron-clad armor knelt on the ground and said in an affirmative tone.

An atmosphere of silence and silence permeated the room, and the old man gently rubbed his temples, and without saying a word, a solemn atmosphere descended.

"Inform me, I want the forces in the northern part of the kingdom to know about this matter as soon as possible." The old man lowered his hands, and there was no emotion in his deep eyes.

"Yes, sir!" The middle-aged man bowed his head in agreement, and then exited the room.

"Modrien Perris, the second son of the Perris family, the fruits of victory are not so easy to pick."

On the wooden floor, a tall figure could be faintly seen from the broken crystal, and under the white hair was a wrinkled old face.

"Maybe it's better now, the chaotic situation in the northern part of the kingdom really needs a stone to stir up this muddy lake even more."
