Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Even in the shade of the trees, Rolf, dressed in military uniform, still felt that sweat was pouring out of his body from seemingly anywhere on his body, and shook his sweaty palms, the sunlight shining through the gaps in the leaves above his head was so dazzling that he had to half-squint his eyes

The dry and hard bread in his hand was like a foul-smelling and hard stone in the sewers of the imperial capital, even with that incomparably sharp dagger inlaid with gems, it was so difficult to cut it, which made Rolf full of appetite, and cursed in a low voice, he threw the bread in his hand to the knight who was guarding on the side, picked up the kettle next to him and poured half a pot of water in one go, and then asked a little impatiently

"Saru and the knights who went to check on the situation haven't come back yet?"

As soon as the words fell, just as the attendant was about to answer, a dense sound of horses' hooves came clearly from far and near, and when he heard the voice, Rolf stood up impatiently, and there was a certain look of anticipation and longing in his eyes......

His Majesty the Emperor didn't wait long, and soon Saru, who had lost a lot of weight, handed over the reins of the war horse in his hand to his entourage and walked quickly to this side, and before he could salute, Rolf asked anxiously

"My dear friend, what are the results of today's investigation, and is there any good news?"

Glancing around, Saru shook his head, a bitter smile appeared on his face that was a mixture of sweat and dirt, and spoke softly in an apologetic tone

"I'm sorry Your Majesty, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, today I personally led the Knights of Glory to look to the east, as before, almost all the villages have long been abandoned or burned, there are no people, no food, not even a single thing left that can be used, the well has also been contaminated and buried by the corpses of a large number of livestock, that bastard who should have been cursed by the gods and his subordinates have left us nothing!"

Looking at His Majesty the Emperor's expression of disappointment and his eyes that seemed hollow, Saru, who couldn't bear to stimulate the other party anymore, sighed in his heart and reluctantly smiled

"But I led people to find a river that was ignored by the other party, anyway, you and other soldiers don't have to worry about clean drinking water in the last few days, maybe this is a good omen, Your Majesty, please hold on for a few more days, we ......"

"Ahh

"Enemy Attack ~ Enemy Attack!"

Before he could finish speaking, several screams were heard from the depths of the jungle where the combined armies of the Empire and the Church were temporarily resting, and then the chaotic clashing of weapons and the sound of war howls characteristic of the minorities were heard at the same time......

"The Knights of Glory stay to protect Your Majesty, and the others come with me, it's those damned barbarians again, this time I have to make them pay for it!"

Because of the food supply, Saru, who was unable to vent his anger these days, left his men to protect the emperor, drew his long sword and led the people on foot to rush into the distance, in this environment, the war horse can only become a burden in battle......

……

Rolf didn't have to wait long, and as the cacophony of shouts died down and the short battle ended quickly, Saru, who had personally participated in the battle, even brought back a barbarian warrior who had been knocked unconscious and captured with a wounded leg......

Such similar attacks occur several times a day almost every day

"Wake him up, I'd like to know what that hillbilly Leo has done them to make these unruly minority warriors die for him so desperately, damn bastards!"

Ignoring the hoarse throat, Rolf, like the most irascible and brutal worker on the docks, gave the brute on the ground a fierce roar

Nodding, Saru personally took two steps forward, there was no water to waste, he directly pulled out his sword and cut a large piece of flesh at the opponent's thick thigh, the severe pain along the dense nerves instantly woke the barbarian from his coma, and subconsciously bounced up his upper body and reached out to touch the position of the original weapon on his waist, but before he could come back from the confusion, Saru's long sword was already on his neck......

"If you have the slightest gesture that disturbs me, I will remove one of your arms, and if you have any questions that do not satisfy me, I will also remove one of your arms, filthy barbarian, I know that you can understand the lingua franca, so answer the questions with a respectful attitude, and in front of you is His Majesty the Emperor, who has everything in the Empire!"

With a sniffle, the barbarian glanced at the still bleeding wound on his thigh, grinned an ugly grin, and just when Saru thought the other party had yielded, the barbarian opened his mouth and spat at him with a thick sputum......

……

After a while, the barbarian who had a few more wounds on his body again and was tied up by five flowers, exhausted his physical strength in the struggle and finally stopped, Rolf, who was standing not far in front of him, frowned, and the undisguised disdain and disdain in the other party's eyes made him feel very bad, very bad!

"Your name is a barbarian, answer my question, and perhaps when I am in a good mood, you will be merciful enough to let you live as humble as a dog, and then tell me what kind of demagoguery you have been subjected to to oppose me and the greatest ruler of the entire empire for that hillbilly in this way!!"

Rolf's roar was answered by a cold snort, and the barbarian, who had been kicked and beaten by the Knight of Glory again, did not care to spit out a few broken teeth, and spoke in a somewhat muffled voice

"Emperor? What kind of thing is that, as for the hillbilly you are talking about, if you mean His Royal Highness Leo......"

At this point, the barbarian's breathing became heavy and rapid, his ugly face became even more hideous, and even the facial tattoos were twisted in this mood, and the strings of his fingers even squeaked under the bulging muscles

Glancing disdainfully at Rolf, who had retreated, and the knights around him who had drawn their swords, the barbarian roared with all his lungs

"What kind of thing do you dare to insult the merciful and great Highness Leo, it is His Highness who has given us enough food and warm houses, it is His Highness who has given us the dignity that we minorities have always desired but never obtained, how can you so-called noble people know and know how important these are to us!"

"Presumptuous, what right does he have to give you these, you must know me, I am the owner and ruler of the empire, you filthy fools, including Leo in your mouth, are my subjects, everything you have should belong to me, bastard!"

Rolf, who didn't know which of the barbarians' words was stimulated, ignored the obstruction of Saru and the guards, and frantically rushed up to punch and kick the barbarians, as if venting the anguish of these days and the dilemma in front of him

"Phew! The sissy fist is as weak as your army, don't try to get any information about Your Highness from my mouth, wait, it won't be long before all of you will die here, and the endless jungle and barren highlands will bury everything you have completely!! Hahaha! ”

"Ahh ~”

The barbarian's wild laughter came to an abrupt end, and red blood continued to gush out of his mouth, but it was Saru who was afraid that he was provoking him to slash Rolf directly into his mouth, and carefully glanced at the angry emperor, Saru waved his hand and shouted to the knight beside him

"Drag it down, rip off this shitty embryo, he must pay for the offense of insulting His Majesty before!"

"He~hehe! Roar~......"

The barbarian, dragged away, desperately trying to make a sound from his throat that resembled the sound of a wild beast before it died, despite the blood on his face and his almost severed jaws

"You...... You...... You guys...... Will...... Will die in ...... Here, to...... Take the ...... of the ancestors In the name of the first...... Swear ......"

"I curse this land and these shameless dirty bastards!"

Rolf, whose eyes were bloodshot, slapped an unconscious chamberlain in the face, and after the other man stumbled and fell to the ground, he reached out and grabbed Saru's collar and yelled

"Cancel the rest and let the army move on, I don't want to stay in this place for a minute!"
