Chapter 51: Internal and External Troubles (Part II)

Eward watched in horror as the butler and the others headed towards the wasteland forest, and he knew that this was the messenger with a letter for help, and he was going to stop them before they could enter the wasteland forest anyway.

The servants and cavalry beside Aiward knew the seriousness of the matter and killed them in the direction that Aiward was pointing.

The two men met less than five hundred meters from the wasteland forest.

The butler took the lead, pointing his spear at the front. "Hmph, you've never seen me make a move, have you? Today I will let you see what a bloody hero the legendary Ripper is. The butler seemed to be talking to the two servants beside him, but judging by the decibels of his voice, it was more like he was speaking to himself.

"Thorn!"

The spear in the butler's hand pierced the stomach of the cavalryman at the front, and the war horse that had lost its director galloped on the grass and stopped after a short time. Alone on the grass pouting.

The butler on the side did not weaken in the slightest, and continued to rush until he disappeared at the end of the forest.

This is the battle between real knights.

No matter how many battles you've been through, no matter how luxurious your equipment is, enemies can take everything you're proud of with just one move.

Life and death are in an instant.

Victory was in that moment.

The housekeeper won, and the win was complete.

Looking at the three war horses that disappeared at the end, the servants didn't know what to do next.

……………………………

Wasteland Forest.

The three housekeepers searched for a long time in the wasteland, until the charred corpses of the three and two on the ground and the once populated village caught their attention.

"There have been battles here, and there have been large-scale battles. Number...... There should be two hundred... Wrong...... There were many people on both sides, but there were only about thirty people in the real battle. ”

“…… Over here...... And here. The scale of the war seems to be greater here...... There are five hundred! This valley was supposed to be Lord Deley's first battle with the Rogue Town Security Corps. Looking at the appearance of the corpse, it should have been fought for two days. Lord Deli reportedly captured hundreds. But...... It seems that Deli should have lost a lot of mercenaries to have such a big result. ……”

"It's not cleaned up, and it looks like they're in a hurry. This confirms that Lord Deli was indeed flanked back and forth, killing the Rogue Town Security Corps to the point of losing their armor. ”

"That's right, this is it." The butler came to the ruins of the castle, "The blood stains here are still so visible, the traces of the war horses stepping on them... What kind of weapon is this? How can it cause such a horrific trace? The butler looked at a pit nearly half a meter wide on the ground, his face solemn, "Why is there no mention of this in Lord Deli's battle report?" There were no such weapons in the army of Deli. The butler thought with confidence, believing that this was a formidable enemy that Lord Deli had encountered.

After another half a day, the sun set......

The housekeeper finally couldn't bear the fatigue and was ready to arrange camping. When he was young, he had also been to the wasteland, and knew that the beasts had been cleaned up, and some of the remaining small livestock did not dare to take the initiative to attack humans, so Lord Deli did not arrange a vigil, and the three of them fell to the ground and fell asleep. Until the second half of the night, a Hu didn't notice anything unusual from getting up all night and continued to sleep.

Early in the morning, the housekeeper and others ate dry food, and it didn't take long for them to start a new day.

It wasn't until late evening that the butler found the scouts released by Lord Deley, and when he met them, the butler was shocked again. If the soldiers in front of him didn't lie, then Lord Deli was facing a thief with nearly two thousand soldiers, and this kind of strength was also a big tumor in the entire western province.

At this time, the butler did not have the heart to pay attention to this big cancer, and what he hoped now was that Lord Deli would lead his troops back to rescue the Barons of Alberton. If it is too late, they will be homeless, no different from thieves.

……………………………

Lower Village.

Inside Lord Deley's camp.

The butler took off his armor and looked tired.

Lord Deli ordered food to be arranged, and then asked the steward for the latest orders. When he heard the news that Viscount López had moved again, he was immediately furious. If it weren't for the reason that Proton Lai was subordinate, and the nobles who were also the emperor's direct subordinates, he would have been killed in the viscount domain a long time ago, and he would have been embarrassed to tell others that he was here to fight if he hadn't taken one or two villages.

However......

This Wilbell was not grateful to Dade, and even persuaded Eward, an unscrupulous knight, to rebel and prepare to attack inside and outside.

If it hadn't been for the accidental discovery, the Baron of Alberton Castle would have changed hands by this time.

"This bastard López even instigated the rebellion of the knights of the territory, he is ready to go to the noble court." Lord Deli was furious, and the butler on the side said coldly, if the baron has any shortcomings, the succession appointment of the noble court has not yet come down by then, and the responsibility of losing the land may make the Alberon family history, let alone any noble court.

Lord Deli was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked the soldiers to pull out the camp overnight, and only after retreating to the upper village did he arrange to re-encamp.

After resting for less than two hours, Lord Deli called the butler again, "Butler, there are less than fifteen cavalry left under my command, plus the scouts and the three of you, we will first make up a cavalry team of twenty people, and the butler will rush back to the Baron's Castle first." I will follow with a large force, and I will be sure to crush this group of traitors by the morning of the day after tomorrow. ”

The next day, before dawn, the butler was already urging the knights to prepare for their journey.

After another hour, the butler finally got his wish and rode his horse. At this time, it was just dawn, and the distant sunlight shone through the dense forest on the way home. The steward was the first to leave the camp, to leave this wasteland forest, to leave this nightmare of Baron Albert's army.

Yes, it's a nightmare.

More than a thousand of them went into the wasteland in search of battle, and when they left, there were less than five hundred left, although most of the dead mercenaries or recruits, militiamen, and some wounded and sick had been sent back to the barony. But judging from the 2-1 battle with the Rogue Town Security Regiment, the strength of this security regiment should not be underestimated.

The steward departed, taking with him the last of the barony's cavalry troops, a full twenty horsemen. There were knights, servants, ordinary cavalrymen, and even two soldiers who had just learned to ride horses as scouts, and finally the old butler.

Watching the steward go away, Lord Deli began to pull out the camp, and a group of more than 400 people began to head towards the baron.

Lord Deli had already conveyed the news that he would go back this time to quell the rebellion, and that he would kill all the mongrels in the viscount of López.
