The caravan was stationed only thirty or forty meters from the river, and it was not a suitable camping site, as there was not much cover to use in the open area, and without the dense jungle as a barrier, it was difficult for the camp to withstand the charge of the cavalry.

Of course, in the forests of the kingdom, there is no such thing as a "cavalry charge", and they usually make a temporary "wall" in a circle of carriages to ward off the possible herds of beasts or scattered bandits.

However, Henry was well aware of the main purpose of his stationing here at this time, so he specifically ordered the soldiers to strengthen their defenses in order to prevent any accidents.

And after all this was in order, he adjusted his expression of surprise and hurried over to the wood elves who appeared at the edge of the line.

"I'm Lando, and I'm here on the orders of the village chief, Brudy. ”

The three wood elves carried short bows of different styles with serious expressions, led by Lando, who had been pursuing Nata for a long time - within six months of Nata's departure with Roddy, he had become the strongest hunter in the village... Now that he is here, it can be regarded as an intuitive recognition of his strength by the village chief.

Survival stress is the best way to promote a man's maturity, and after the severe loss of Elsa's village, the younger generation of hunters quickly matured. After experiencing Roddy's stimulation, Lando has been training himself almost frantically in the past six months, and his strength has changed greatly - this has made his sense of powerlessness and insignificance in the face of Roddy fade a lot, and he has become more confident in speaking at this time.

"Huh... It's Hunting Captain Lando, I've heard your name from my previous Wood Elf friends, and I know that you're the most powerful hunter in the village—and you've heard the village chief say about the details of this arrangement, and we'll never let down his trust in sending a warrior as strong as you. ”

Fat Henry's ability to do business is extremely strong, and his personality is much more sleek than that of a guy like Buffon, who talks less and does more - his language talent is not bad, after three or four months of contact with the Wood Elf, his Wood Elf language has basically been able to communicate simply, at this time he directly uses the Wood Elf to communicate with Lando, which seems quite sincere.

Lando's force value is not low, but his public relations skills are basically zero, he didn't want to have too much intersection with these humans, and he was ready to have a cold face from the beginning of the meeting to the end, but as soon as Henry said a few words, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but pull a trace of pride, and he felt very comfortable.

After all, his strength is not what it used to be, far stronger than half a year ago, and under the expansion of self-confidence, Lando will inevitably "feel better" about himself, he stretched out his finger and pointed to the two teammates who came with him, and said: "The village chief told me what we need to do, and on the surface, the three of us will pick it up, but the village has also sent another hunter to support the possible battle." ”

"Much appreciated. ”

Henry still had that irresistible warm smile, but he didn't ask how many people Lando had brought, but turned around and introduced the goods he brought this time in a stylized manner as before, and at the same time whispered: "What we usually do, we will do now, so according to the rules set by Captain Roddy, I will now introduce you to the goods brought this time, and it is up to you to take the soldiers to verify their quality." ”

"Here's the grain from Hollier City, here..."

Henry gushed about the goods stacked on the carriage, and Lando followed him mechanically, but he was slightly unhappy because of the "Captain Roddy" mentioned by the other party just now - that guy had been with Nata for half a year, and now he just relied on a letter to let the village chief Brudy do his best to help... What exactly is there about him?

was thinking like this in his mind, but the fat man Henry next to him suddenly stopped the endless introduction and praise of the goods, and turned to look at Buffon who came over, showing an inquiring look.

Buffon's answer was simple: "The fish is hooked." ”

The sound of horses' hooves and stumbling footsteps shattered the silence in the forest on the outskirts of the camp.

The camp that had been cooking was immediately "in chaos", and the soldiers who were running wildly shouted and screamed, as if no one knew what to do, and it took a long time for order to gradually regain - and the team that had come out of the forest had already approached the camp during this time...

Twenty knights on war horses were in front, followed by hundreds of infantrymen who looked like soldiers, although they were "fully armed", but the armor of these knights was varied, and some were even incomplete, which seemed quite ridiculous.

The knights wore armor, but the soldiers behind them generally had no protection...

When they came out of the forest, they were very quiet, apparently all the way away, and at this time they finally showed up when they could not hold back their desires.

Henry was very familiar with these guys with status in the territory, and almost immediately recognized the identity of at least six of them as "knights" canonized by the owners!

But Henry naturally couldn't directly pick out this relationship, he narrowed his eyes and asked in a deep voice, "What do you have to do?"

In fact, both sides understand what the other is trying to do. But apparently they are all waiting for the opportunity to do it... The aristocracy is reserved because of inherent hypocrisy, and Henry's patience is because he is waiting for a reason to stand on the "righteousness" and do it.

"We're more interested in the villages in the Silent Forest, and now we don't have a guide to lead the way, who are you?"

A knight with a beard on his face buzzed and said, this is actually equivalent to taking away Lando and other wood elves, but they are good at words, but they are talking as if they are waiting for someone to join in.

"I'm sorry guys, I'm afraid my team doesn't have that interest. ”

Henry replied with a smile on his face, the soldiers had already set up a defensive formation, and Lando and the other three wood elves were also standing in the center of the line.

"What are you, qualified to make such a decision?"

A knight pointed at his sword and said unceremoniously: "You're just a dog! That guy named Roddy has been dead for months, are you still serving him?"

These words made the expressions of Henry and all the soldiers change slightly.

But the knight did not notice this, and continued: "Don't think that you can be so arrogant with Angmar's backing - that old man's only reliance is Wellington and Titus, and now that they have long been separated, I want to see how you can get up?"

His words were sarcastic. But the fat man standing at the front of the team was unmoved, but after the other party said everything, he replied very carelessly: "It turns out that you guys are secretly obstructing the duke's tax collection... Hearing what you just said, I thought you were a saint from nowhere, but it turned out to be just a group of beasts who ate inside and out, and were not even as good as dogs. ”

Henry is really not bad at the shrews who have been scolding the streets all the year round, and this group of knights has not been able to get any advantage from him, but they are ashamed of the naked insults...

This name-calling insult made it impossible for them to maintain their apparent politeness, and immediately a knight raised his long sword in his hand, shouted "Follow me", and drove his horse towards Henry!

And his words seemed to embolden others, and instantly ignited the fire of hunger and desire of these nobles.

In the face of interests, what Angmar, what noble entente is complete bullshit, since the moment the caravan dumped goods from Hollier City, the desire in their hearts has swelled because of those bright gold coins... Now is the time for them to stretch out their hands and reap all this!

The scene surrounded by hundreds of soldiers was quite impactful, but the soldiers who had not been ready for battle changed their previous panicked appearance, calmly raised the shield in their hands, and clenched the short swords in their hands.

Lando didn't expect the battle to come so quickly, but he had experienced several battles, and after raising the short bow unhurriedly, although the arrows were not stringed, with this action, a batch of covering arrows flew straight out of the forest behind him!

Buffon, on the other hand, looked at the corner deep in the jungle, and after confirming a certain information, he turned to the fat man Henry and said:

"Everything is under Master Roddy's control. ”
