Chapter 130: Delaying Others

The sun rises in the east, and a new day is coming.

After breakfast, the caravan swore the second master, Aubrey, and set out on the journey to the east.

Because the next part of the road was facing the rising sun, the group had to face the sun on the road under the clear sky, and at the same time try all kinds of ways to find something to block the dazzling sun.

Aubrey wore a wide-brimmed hat and was oblivious to the discontent around him, something he was used to.

After walking for about an hour, the convoy finally came to the junction of the Kingdom of Firingen and the Kingdom of Biberach, and there were checkpoints set by the two countries on the main road.

Because of the caravan's path, everyone passed without much inspection, and Charles, who was memorizing Elven words, arrived on the land of the Biberach kingdom when he came to his senses.

Not long after walking, the convoy was exploring the road ahead of the convoy and the road ahead was blocked.

"What's going on?" Aubrey asked Mara, who had come to report the situation.

Mara, who was carrying an axe on her back, said: "There are two groups of nobles in front of them who are ready to fight, and it seems that they are two viscounts. ”

Aubrey looked up at the height of the sun and said, "Are there many of them?"

Mara reported: "There are four knights on either side, and a few mercenaries, and the rest are freedmen with weapons. ”

Aubrey waved his hand, "Ignore them, let's go." ”

At the front of the convoy, two groups faced each other across the main road, which was the dividing line between the two territories.

On the south side of the road, Viscount Shile, dressed in full armor, was pointing at the men and horses to the north and scolding.

(╬◣д◒)?: "You vile and shameless thief, the little man who goes to the slave's straw every night to steal fleas, and the bed bug that even the rats in the barn are ashamed of...... Let's ......."

Viscount Suig, who was opposite him, also pointed at him in return.

? ( Μ„dish ̄╬): "You livestock, who even pulls your brother-in-law and nephew to bed, the lover of mules, and the source of the sow's happiness all nights...... Quack chirp ......"

Behind them, the knights they had sealed were sitting on the ground bored and watching the excitement. And the freedmen who were conscripted put their weapons aside, and they sat or lay down, chatting and chatting, making up for sleep. And the hired mercenaries even gathered around, playing cards made of thin pieces of wood.

On Viscount Shile's side, a young mercenary looked confused about the current situation, and he took out a leather bag containing ale and found a knight who was picking his nose not far away.

"Sir, please drink. The young mercenary handed the sac to the rosacea-nosed knight with both hands.

The Rosacea Knight took the sac, pulled out the stopper, and sniffed it, it was just the ordinary ale sold in the town's taverns. He lifted his head and poured two sips into his mouth. He had been sitting here in the sun for a long time, and it was time to be thirsty.

"What's the matter?" asked the rosacea knight to the young mercenary.

The young mercenary asked, "Master, when are we going to fight?"

"It's your first time, right?" the rosacea knight glanced at the young mercenary.

The mercenary nodded incessantly.

"Just wait. The rosacea knight took another sip of his wine, "According to the rules, it starts when the sun rises at its highest. ”

The mercenary asked again, "Master, why are you fighting today?"

The rosacea knight continued to pour himself wine, "The other day our viscount went out hunting, and his boar was injured and ran, only to run to the other side and die. Later, the other side said that the wild boar entered his territory and it was his own, and then he snatched the wild boar back. Of course, our viscount is not happy, and the two sides will fight before they can negotiate. ”

After the mercenary said "oh", the rosacea knight said to him again, "For the sake of this wine, I will say a word to you." ”

The mercenary listened attentively.

"Wait a minute, don't rush too fast, run slower, and then pick a bully who looks like a bully and hit him. But don't kill you, just knock you out. Killing their family doesn't necessarily mean giving a ransom to get the body back, and it's useless for you to take the body. Remember, only those who are alive can have a ransom. ”

Seeing that the mercenary was looking at the knight who was also fishing opposite, the rosacea knight slapped the mercenary on the head.

"Don't be delusional. The rosacea knight said to the mercenary, "You have thin arms and legs like a girl, you know at a glance that even I can't beat them, and you still want to catch them?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" the mercenary nodded immediately, "It's that I'm thinking too much." ”

"Do you see the knight over there with the blue-rimmed armor on his side?" said the rosacea-nose knight, pointing to the knight sitting in the middle across from him.

The knight, like the rosacea knight, had his armor by his side, and was now dressed only in linen. His armor is adorned with blue ornamentation, and his helmet is topped with a long blue tassel.

The knight on the other side noticed that the rosacea knight pointed at him, and then waved his hand to greet him, and the rosacea knight also raised the wine bag in his hand to greet him.

The rosacea knight said, "That guy is the best guy on the other side, you stay away from him." ”

"That guy has a daughter who is very good, and two of our guys are trying to catch him and get him to promise to marry his daughter to him. If you find him, you'll be trampled to death by both of their horses before you can touch him. ”

The mercenary hurriedly nodded in agreement, he didn't want to be trampled to death by his own horses for the first time he took the order, such a death would definitely be sung by bards all over the continent.

Then the rosacea knight pointed out to the young mercenary which of the commoners on the other side had pigs and geese, and if they caught them, they could get some meat back.

They had lived in the adjacent territory for generations, and they knew each other very well.

The sun was slowly preparing to climb to the top of the sky, and the two viscounts had already slipped aside to rest.

When the time was ready, the rosacea knight asked his boy and squire to help him put on his armor.

The young mercenary also learned from the other mercenaries, and the old fritters began to check their equipment.

Just as the two groups were fully armed and lined up, waiting for the tenth time of noon, the sound of horses' hooves and wheels came from the west.

Everyone present was attracted by the sound, and they looked to the west, only to see a puff of smoke rising in the distance.

Immediately afterwards, two female elves in light armor and no helmets rode across the road, each holding a flagpole in their hands, and the flags with the yellow wheel pattern of golden trees on a green background fluttered in the wind.

Behind the flags, sturdy four-wheeled carriages were dragged hard by sturdy horses to the sound of whips, and galloped westward with a "boom".

Several heavily armed knights on horseback followed both sides of the convoy to protect the convoy, and their eyes were full of vigilance and ...... as they looked at the two groups of people on the side of the road Disdain.

Viscount Shile opened his mouth and was about to say something, but he found that everything he said was in vain, and he might be stopped and beaten.

Charles, who was sitting on the roof of the car watching the excitement, suddenly felt something, he turned his head to look to the right, and saw that someone in the crowd was looking at him.

Then he noticed that a man dressed as a mercenary looked at him a little strangely.

The convoy quickly passed, leaving only smoke and dust flying in the sky.

George, who was at the end of the convoy, stopped not far away, and he used his wind amplification magic to say to those present: "I'm sorry to disturb your outing, please continue." ”

The young mercenary's heart was on fire, and the image of the masked boy with beautiful women and beautiful elves playing on a loop in his mind.

"The husband should be like this!"

He sighed in his heart, and then the hand holding the long sword he picked up tightened.
