Chapter 347: Arrest Marcus
"Did you catch Marcus?"
Harvey asked after listening to the report. Capturing Marcus alive was one of the main purposes of the operation, and it was ordered by Allen himself.
The reason why Allen asked for this was because Steven was still at Ogu Manor, which made him feel at ease, and if he could capture Marcus alive, he could use him as a bargaining chip in exchange for Steven if necessary. Marcus is Holland's own nephew, and he has won Holland's trust, and is the most likely candidate to succeed Holranster as the future Lord of August, so with Marcus as a hostage, Holland throws a mouse and does not dare to do anything to hurt Steven.
"Nope. Marcus fled in the direction of Aogugu under the protection of his own soldiers, and Captain Ronan led a squadron to chase after him, but Marcus's personal soldiers are not weak in combat, do you want to send more people to support?"
"No, Marcus can't run. Let the magicians give priority to treating the wounded, and everyone else will go to extinguish the fire, this camp will be used in the future, and we can't all destroy it. ”
Harvey waved his hand, and the capture of Marcus alive had already been arranged.
"Captain, what should I do next, do you want to kill Ao Gucheng directly?"
As soon as the soldier who was reporting the news was ordered to leave, Morey rushed over and sat on the ground, wiping his face with his shirt and asked, he had just led his men around to put out the fire, and his face was covered with soot.
"Kill the ancient city?"
Harvey looked at his gray-faced subordinates and smiled:
"Don't get carried away by last night's little victory, and don't be brave. The Ogu family is not so easy to deal with, we must implement it step by step according to the plan of the regiment commander, otherwise even if we can overthrow the rule of the Ogu family, we will pay a heavy price, this is not what the regiment commander wants to see, your mother is looking forward to you coming home for dinner every day, and the regiment commander does not want to disappoint and grieve them. ”
Harvey unceremoniously lectured Morey.
"There is no such thing as a war without bloodshed and without death. ”
Morey smiled disapprehantly:
"That's right, Captain. We captured thousands of captives last night, what to do, we don't have enough food to deal with them, do you...?"
Morey made a neck wiping motion, signaling whether to kill all the captives.
"You remember!"
Harvey walked up to Morey, stared at him condescendingly, and said with a dark face:
"The blood of the Godsas should be shed on the battlefield against the orcs, not to kill their own countrymen. ”
"I remember!"
Looking at Harvey's extremely serious expression, Morey licked his lips and nodded in agreement.
"When I go back today, the Youth League will immediately expand its army. Not only must we gather all the old troops, but we must also recruit new people, we must quickly expand the army, Holland will not rest on his laurels, we still have a few battles to fight. Although the regimental commander asked for as little blood as possible, the blood that should be shed should not be less. ”
"Okay! I'll arrange it. ”
Morey was a little weak by Harvey's eyes just now, and quickly stood up and left.
"The captives captured today should be locked up first, and they should not be harmed, and they will be co-opted when Big Brother Bloom's team comes out. ”
Harvey instructed Morey to leave in a hurry.
"Understood, Captain. I'll arrange for them to be served comfortably. ”
Morey ran fast.
"This guy!"
Harvey snorted, then turned his head to look in the direction of the southern Ao Ancient City, and muttered to himself:
"I wonder if things are going well on Stanny's side?"
While the victorious side was counting the fruits of victory, Marcus, the defeated side, was galloping along the official road with his own soldiers. They have been running from night to now, and the war horses under their crotches are so tired that they are foaming at the mouth.
"Everyone took a short break, and after ten minutes we continued on our way. ”
At a small river, Marcus grabbed the reins and jumped off his horse, and his soldiers went to the river to drink water one by one, and they began to drink their horses after drinking, otherwise if they continued to run like this, they would not wait to return to the ancient city of Aogu, and the horses would die of exhaustion first.
"Get on the horse and go. ”
Marcus drank the water and washed his face again, and the cold water not only swept away his gray face, but also made him feel energetic. However, he did not dare to stay too long, and when the day dawned, they had just escaped the pursuit of the pursuers, and as long as they delayed the pursuers a little, they might be killed.
"Report to the captain, there is a canyon ahead. ”
"Great. ”
Marcus slapped his thigh excitedly, and crossed the area under the jurisdiction of the ancient city on the other side of the canyon, and he would be much safer by then.
"Don't stop, just rush over. ”
Turning through a grove of trees, the mouth of the canyon ahead was clearly visible, and Marcus clamped his legs around the horse's belly as the horse began to accelerate.
"Ahh Puff"
A hundred paces away from the mouth of the canyon, Ma Fei in front of him suddenly stumbled and threw the knight out of the horse.
"What happened?"
Now the slightest disturbance will make Marcus nervous, but before he can figure out what the situation is, the war horses around him have fallen one after another, followed by the body of the horse under him, and then the whole person was thrown out of the horse's back, fortunately, Marcus's strength is not weak, and he is also a high-level swordsman, and he has quickly adjusted the balance of his body in the air, and finally landed firmly on the ground.
"Quicksand!"
Marcus found his horse's front hooves stepping into a patch of soft sand.
"How can there be quicksand on a good official road?"
Marcus was a little puzzled, but someone answered him immediately.
"Captain Marcus, don't be in a hurry, we still have some things we want to discuss with you. ”
The voice came from the woods next to the road, and three people followed. At the front was a young man in his twenties, who looked at Marcus with a lazy smile on his face. Marcus didn't know him, but judging from the pointed hat on the young man's head, he was a magician, so the quicksand on the official road was not difficult to explain.
The young man was followed by two young men, a man and a woman, who were heroic and upright, and wore a long sword at his waist, the scabbard inlaid with dazzling rubies. The woman was as beautiful as a flower and slim, holding a wand made of two wooden sticks entwined with two magic crystals at the top.
"Who are you?"
Seeing that there were only three people on the other side, Marcus relaxed a little, but he didn't dare to relax his vigilance at all, because the momentum exuded from the three people made him feel that although the other party was small in number, it was not easy to deal with.
"Someone who is looking for you to settle accounts?"
It was the girl who spoke, and her voice was beautiful, like a lark in the woods, but her tone was cold.
"She was joking, the head of the regiment doesn't have to take it seriously, we just came to ask the head of the regiment to go back to Tiesong Town for a while, and as long as the time is ripe, we will send you back immediately. ”
The man in the middle said with a smile.
"What if I don't agree?"
Marcus already knew that the other party was coming for him, but he wanted to keep himself with just the three of them, and he couldn't help but look down on himself too much.
"You might as well give it a try. ”
This time it was the heroic young man who spoke, and his tone was full of contempt.
"Try it, try it. ”
Marcus jumped onto one of his own soldiers' horses, and the two of them rode together and prepared to rush into the valley.
"Why bother?"
The young man shook his head and said helplessly.
