Chapter 252: Regret? Self-inflicted!
"Hahahahahaha~" Mordred smiled very arrogantly, followed by about five hundred knights behind him. After a long absence, Mordred finally led the troops out again. It's just that this force is really a little thin.
Five hundred people is almost equivalent to the number of people in a grade in the current school, and it is far from reaching the spectacular of tens of thousands of troops. But in this era it is already considerable. For example, during the chaotic Warring States period in Japan, a small country had only a few hundred troops.
"And it feels really coincidental." Mordred suddenly turned his head and said, "Did you say yes, Merlin-chan~"
………… It's very spiritual. Merlin was afraid of being cheated by Mordred again when he heard about Mordred's position arrangement, but he didn't expect to meet Mordred, who led the troops to quell the rebellion, on the road. Without saying a word, Mordred raised his hand with a sword, and then tied Merlin to the horse beside him.
Even the mouth was sealed with a cloth ball, and Merlin could only lie on the back of the horse and shake his head.
"Don't worry, how could I fool you? Who am I Mordred, you wouldn't know? I vouch for Gawain's personality, and this time I want you to help deal with the affairs of the territory. Anyway, you're fishing every day, so it's okay to do me a favor. "Mordred," said with a kind smile, and if it weren't for the sword in his hand lying across Merlin's neck, someone would have believed it.
My life is threatened! Although Merlin has a tenacious life, he doesn't know how many times he has been slaughtered to provoke King Arthur all day long. But who knows what Mordred will be bad, Merlin nodded against his will.
"Report~~ Report to Lord Mordred, the situation ahead has been clarified!" The knight who had inquired about the news ahead had already returned.
"So, what exactly is the situation of the rebellion?" Mordred was in a hurry, fearing that the territory that was about to be rewarded to him would be ruined by the rebellion.
"This ............" The knight was a little embarrassed, not knowing how to speak.
"How? Could it be that the enemy army is strong? I'll just say, the knights around my father who deliver the news are unreliable, and now I can go to the ball, how can I play with 500 people? Why don't you recruit some soldiers on the spot first? Mordred said with self-sufficiency.
"No...... The enemy was only fifty people. When I went down to inquire about the news, I happened to run into a rebel, and now I have been subdued. It was tied to the tree in front of it. The knight said.
????? Mordred's mind is full of mush, what the hell is going on?
"My subordinates have figured it out, this place is too barren. For five consecutive years, food production has failed, and almost all the residents of the towns have fled to other surrounding towns. Now there are only about two hundred inhabitants in the town. Only thirty of these inhabitants took part in the rebellion. ”
The knight paused, then continued: "It was a wizard who bewitched the locals, and the locals killed the local officials, and the twenty knights under the officials rebelled together, and now they are in the castle. ”
"............" Mordred suddenly regretted this move, and knew that he would not participate enthusiastically. I finally led the troops out and told me that there were only fifty rebels?! Moreover, this place that was about to be his fief turned out to be only two hundred inhabitants, and where could such a barren place be found in the whole of Britain?
Mordred really regretted it, and heard Galahad say that the fief he had planned to give himself this time was a rich place in the south. But at that time, Mordred's attention was drawn to the war, and he didn't care what the hell he was going.
A few miles ahead, a bare tree suddenly appeared in the barren field. It looks like the tree has been dead for a long time.
Above, a man in tattered and unkempt clothes was roughly tied to a tree.
"Meow meow?" Mordred was speechless, she looked at the knight who had just reported the situation, as if asking [This is the rebel you are talking about?] Are you sure you didn't just kidnap a beggar??? 】
A drop of cold sweat slipped down the knight's face, "Lord Mordred, this guy is indeed a rebel." As soon as I came here, I listened to him shouting slogans and cutting me with a kitchen knife. ”
There is no doubt about it...... But Mordred still felt weird, not at all like an important general leading a large army against the rebels!
Can I return an item? Mordred thought to herself.
"Watch the detainment, and separate two men to watch him. The others are coming with me, and the enemy army is huddled in the fortress in the town, and we will break them! ”
Thinking of this, Mordred regained a trace of interest. There's still a castle to attack......"
But I'm afraid, she's going to be disappointed in a moment.
