Chapter 53: Utbad
When Teucer entered the village, he ordered the knights to look for anyone who was still alive, while he took two men to examine the corpses.
"My lord, most of the corpses were subjected to severe blunt object attacks, and most of them were skulls broken, and the methods were very cruel."
"What race of armies is good at using this weapon? Norscans? Isn't that right, they're all axes and other weapons, orcs? ”
"My lord, if you are an orc, the corpse will not remain so intact."
Teucer shook his head and pretended to think, but because his level was limited, he couldn't ask any valuable questions.
"Let go of me! You demons!! You've killed enough people, do you want to kill them all?!! I'm a citizen of the Empire!! ”
Just as Teucer was feeling embarrassed, two griffon knights carried a somewhat hysterical woman and trotted quickly towards Teucer.
"My lord, we found her in a cellar"
Teucer hurriedly went up to help the woman, but the woman threw herself into Teucer's arms, grabbed his arm and bit down hard at the tiger's mouth.
"Let go, sir!" Seeing this, the knights next to them drew their swords at their waists and prepared to attack, but they were stopped by Teucer in time.
"Don't move! Let her bite!! If he can feel better......" Teucer forced a sharp pain in his hand while reassuring the lady, "If it calms you down after biting, then please bite as hard as you like and vent......."
The unkempt woman didn't let go until her mouth was full of blood, and then she began to cry out loud, a heart-rending cry that moved everyone. Teucer bandaged himself briefly and ordered the knights to continue the search for survivors, while he himself sat down in front of the lady and laid water and food on the ground waiting for her to calm down.
By the time the knights had inspected all the rooms and cleaned up the bodies, the sun had set, and Teucer had gotten the information he wanted through his efforts, and learned from the lady that someone was impersonating them to carry out a killing spree among the civilians, wearing masks and using two-handed hammers, and before entering the village, he shouted that the pioneer officer Teucer was here.
Teucer immediately contacted Zhang Hao after learning the truth, there was no way, he couldn't wash it even if he jumped into the Rick River this time, and after learning the situation, Zhang Hao asked him to go back to Fort Karon immediately to find Chrissy and asked him to follow Chrissy's orders.
A week later, there was no news of the Toucer and the Griffin Knights in Midden, but Boris Tokbollinger in Middenheim received an angry magical image from the Nord lord Odoryk Geisel. Odoric claimed that there was a group of knights in the province of Nord who claimed to be the heirs of the white wolf and ransacked the entire province of Nord, except for the army defending against the Norscans and the city defense of the province of Nord, there was no mobile force to stop them, and if Boris did not find a way to solve it, then the army of Nord province stationed in Middenheim would be withdrawn to prevent the main force of the disappeared empire from suddenly entering Nord province. In the end, Boris had to send the Five White Wolf Knights to eliminate the imposters in order not to affect his plan, while Vince continued to lurk around Middenheim with his men, and now both sides were waiting for news......
————————
Utbad is the capital of Stirr Province, after the Empire issued a gang announcement, its lord Alberich Anderson sent people to Aldolf to sign a magical contract, as an imperial province directly bordering the vampire territory, 80% of the military strength of Stirr Province is stationed in the important city of Mut City and the border area, and it is also one of the provinces where there are still light mages after the mage closed the academy.
Today is the fifteenth day of His Royal Highness the Prince's expedition to Midan Province, according to the information transmitted, the main force of the empire has disappeared in Midden Province for about ten days, and the army dominated by Midden Province has not moved at all, the entire northern battlefield is like playing hide and seek, but everyone knows that once the battle starts, it will be a battle of national fortune, but with the strength shown by the imperial military parade, Albershi, the lord who fights with vampires every day, really can't think of what confidence Midden Province relies on to deal with the empire.
Along with the news of the Imperial War Report, the Empire's Grand Priest Walkmar personally entered his territory with the magic contract and the support army, which was Emperor Karl's gratitude to the Anderson family, and of course, Walkmar's news also attracted an uninvited person.
"Alberich, my friend, it's been a long time since we've seen each other." Marius was led by the guards to the castle hall of Alberich and greeted him very warmly.
"Hmph, Marius, you openly rebelled against the empire, and sent people to hunt down and kill your brother, where is the time to see me, I really don't know what you plan to do? With the strength of your military after the civil strife, let alone blocking the invasion of vampires now, you may not be able to parry any two green-skinned orc tribes! I'm really angry when I see you. "Albersch obviously wants to persuade Marius to accept the Empire's gang, such a merit will definitely be rewarded by Emperor Karl, nothing else, give a few steam tanks, a few teams of half-griffin knights, and a few high-level light mages, Albersch guarantees to dare to directly enter the territory of vampires, it seems that the Anderson family's hatred of vampires has gone beyond money, land and power.
"I know it's wrong Albersch, didn't I come to ask you for help, I heard that the envoy of the empire has entered the territory of Steele Province, I came this time to hope that you can help me say good things, of course, this is not for nothing, I brought fifteen wagons of rum, all of which were bought from the hands of the dwarfs in the Black Mountains''' said that he took out a bottle of wine from the ring and put it on Albersch's table, "This bottle, specially brought to you, is older than our two ages, I have made a lot of money, If you don't help, you can't say anything. "Ivey Province is the same as Steele Province is the front line of the Empire's fight against vampires, so the two have cooperated a lot before, and it can be regarded as a fateful friendship, Marius naturally knows that Alberty likes to drink dwarven rum, and he likes it, a full fifteen cars, enough for Albert to drink for a few years.
"You're also good enough?" Albertsch looked at the rum's face and softened his tone a lot: "You know now that you're scared?" ”
"Afraid! Really scared! But I'm not afraid of the Empire, I suspect that I've fallen into the dark arts, and I want to ask those light mages of yours to show me," Marius said, and his eyes flashed imperceptibly. Albertsch sniffed the wine and did not notice the strange twinkle in Marius' eyes.
"Our expert in hunting vampires also gets tricked? Now only Ensaith is here, and the others are all in the city of Mutte, and I heard that Herman has been resurrected and has appeared on the border of the province of Tarabek," Albersch said as he beckoned the guards at the gate to inform Enses, the only mid-level light mage left in the castle.
"Don't mention vampires, I have a headache when I hear their names right now." Marius leaned back in his chair in some pain and rubbed his head twice......
