53. New discoveries

Ash's soldiers slaughtered in the enemy flock like tigers into a flock of sheep, and they started cleanly and without delay, with their amazing physical strength, coupled with the extra-long broadsword that was more than half as long as ordinary weapons, it was simply a harvest on the battlefield, and with the continuous sound of the crossbow machine behind him, almost in the blink of an eye, the people of the mercenary group fell like cutting wheat!

At the same time, the robbers not far away finally broke through the thick smoke screen, and saw them, as if they were a little surprised by the sudden appearance of this group of black-armored soldiers, and at the same time, the equipment and the cold and murderous temperament made them instinctively feel a trace of fear, and at this time, the robbers who finally broke through to the convoy were stunned in unison, and few people even started to loot those ownerless carriages.

It's just that Ash's soldiers didn't give them a chance to continue to be stunned, after cleaning up the enemy at hand, they immediately covered up the past in a uniform and rapid manner, and in the era of hoplites, they were able to defeat the defenders of Fitt City, who were regular troops, and at this time, they had already been promoted to deal with these rabble, and they were naturally able to capture them without much effort!

The battle began abruptly and ended quickly, and in less than half an hour, when one of the swordsmen had cut off the head of the last leader-like robber, there was no one left standing in the field but on their side.

The robbers took advantage of the chaos to run away, but Ash didn't care, he had just killed two robbers, his face was splashed with some blood, and Aina, who also followed him and killed many enemies, saw this, and immediately turned from a killing god into a well-behaved maid, and took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood off his face for him.

Ash smiled slightly, ordered the soldiers to start cleaning the battlefield and harvesting the spoils, and then found a random stone to sit down on the side of the road, and the next moment, two soldiers sandwiched a fat man with a dead face between the left and right, and threw it in front of him with a 'plop'.

This fat man was the leader of the caravan, Ferrer, and according to Ash's orders before the war, the soldiers deliberately spared the life of this richly dressed fat man.

It seems that all the deaths of his companions have stimulated Ferrer, at this time, he no longer has the arrogant and domineering temperament he had before, his fat body curled up on the ground like a worm, holding his body with two hands, and his whole body was constantly trembling, Ash frowned, and found that there was a fishy smell in the air, and when he looked closely, he found that Feller's pants were already wet, and he was already frightened.

I saw that Ash picked up Feller's head with the tip of his boot with some disgust, looked at it carefully, and then said lightly: "Your surname? ”

Feller's lips had already begun to turn blue, and at this time his head was a mess, and he didn't react in time to answer immediately, and in the next second, the two soldiers who had held him hostage stepped on his ankles one by one, and with two crisp sounds of 'click', his two ankle bones broke in response, and shattered into a mass of residue in the flesh!

"Ahhh

Feller subconsciously screamed, but Ash didn't let his head move with the locked body, the tip of the boot still picking at his chin strongly, and spoke again: "Your surname? ”

"Wo...... Walter, Feller. Walter! ”

Feller uttered his name almost screaming.

"What's your freight on? Where are you going to send it to? Who is your master? Also, do you know a man named Fierce Axe? ”

A series of questions popped out of Ash's mouth, and this time Feller learned to be obedient, and almost before Ash's words were completely settled, he hurriedly spoke, and replied without stopping: "Military rations and arrows!" Go to Fett City and give Iron Hero, the commander of the Third Legion of the Lawrence Empire! My master's name is Yin Lian, and I'm just a little steward! The Blazing Axe is the deputy head of the mercenary I hired, and he is dead just now! ”

"Good."

Ash nodded in satisfaction, hearing him say this, the general situation was already clear, and there was no need to continue asking.

Seeing that his right hand lightly gestured to his neck, one of the soldiers behind Ferrer immediately drew his long sword and cut Ferrer's throat with great skill, leaving him no chance to react.

Seeing Feller's fat body struggling twice and then gradually softening, Ai Die, who was beside Ash, couldn't bear it at first, grabbed Ash's side, wrapped her arms around his neck and asked softly, "Master, ...... these people?" ”

Anyway, Aina's side is okay, since the incident in the morning, the lively Die has become more and more unrestrained, and from time to time she likes to 'rub oil' on Ash.

It's just that Ash also enjoyed her actions, turned his head and pinched Ai Die's delicate cheeks, and then said: "It's nothing, it's just that some traitor secretly contacted the army of the Lawrence Empire and wanted to send them food and grass and military supplies for profit, but among the mercenaries they hired, there was still one with a conscience who sold them...... It's just that these have nothing to do with us for the time being, and I don't bother to care. ”

Having said that, Ash still secretly remembered the name Yinlian in his heart, only to see him pat Die's shoulder again, then slowly stood up and walked in the direction of Zhongnan Valley, and at the same time continued: "Johnson, ask someone to transport all the goods back, and the rest of the things will be burned in one fire." ”

"Yes, master."

Johnson immediately took the order.

…………

Leaving seventy people outside to clean up the battlefield, Ash led ten soldiers and Aina and Addie back to the Valley of the Dead South.

At this time, the sky has gradually darkened, and after a busy day of farming, the villagers in the valley have almost finished their work for the day, and they have returned to their own houses to live and cook.

Ash already knew that although the physical endurance of these people was all amazingly high, even if they worked continuously for three days and three nights without stopping, there would not necessarily be anything wrong, but they would still be tired and hungry after all, and as their leader, Ash would naturally not carry out such 'tyranny' as he did at the beginning, but stipulated that the daily work would only start from the rising sun to the end of sunset, and for the rest of the time, except for the soldiers in charge of patrolling, all could rest.

It is precisely because of this that this Zhongnan Valley has gradually gained popularity, becoming a village-like existence rather than a cruel and cold perpetual machine, although it is more cost-effective to keep them working to death, and then use the resources they have gathered to regenerate new villagers.

Dozens of smoke were slowly rising from the rooftops of the houses in the residential area in the distance, and although there were no figures in the base except for a few soldiers on duty on the periphery, they were still brightly lit, and with the exquisite baroque buildings, it was quite pleasing to the eye.

After roughly touring the base, Ash prepared to go back to his mansion, Johnson's place, estimated to be busy until late, and he was not in a hurry, and the work of counting the loot could be left for tomorrow morning.

Just as he was about to step on the long staircase at the foot of his mansion, an archer hurried to his side, knelt down on one knee and said, "Master, our expedition has returned, bringing back a lot of prey, and new discoveries!" ”

Hearing this, Ash perked up and immediately said, "Tell them to come to me!" ”
