Chapter 483: Sacrifice
When Langdon saw Yuanwang City, he also saw such a scene.
There was a small number of troops outside Yuanwang Cityβthe Wall family had only experienced such an incident nearly a year ago, and were still in the process of rebuilding, and it was not easy to assemble such a force of nearly a thousand men.
Far away from them, far enough away that Langdon could barely see as far as the eye could see, another force was retreating in a hurry.
Of course, it was the troops of the Ethan Hawke family, and I don't know what the Bedasta family had done to them, or if they had actually been swallowed up by the Bedasta family a long time ago, and they had already suffered so many losses and the troops were seriously damaged, but they still gathered such a large-scale force to attack.
With more than 2,000 troops, almost all of the Ethan Hawke family has existed.
If they really attacked like a gathering team, the Wall family's troops in their early 1,000s would not be able to resist at all.
Unfortunately, they were visibly scared by the first two battles.
After seeing that the enemy did not enter the city, but swaggered outside the city, the commander of the Ethan Hawke family finally relented.
After three days of stalemate between the two sides, they received the news that someone had come to support Yuanwang City, so they did not dare to stay here anymore and quickly retreated.
In fact, they were completely mistaken, first mistaking the reinforcements of the Wall family for Yuanwang City's own garrison, and then taking the troops that Langdon and them had driven back as troops from other places to come to support.
Of course, none of this is important, the important thing is that the Ethan Hawke family was instigated, and a major crisis that endangered both Yuanwang City and the Wall family was automatically resolved.
However, the resolution of the crisis does not mean that Langdon's anger is gone.
You must know that this is completely unexpected, in his speculation, the Bedasta family does not dare to use troops against him, let alone the "slave" of the Ethan Hawke family.
As a result, people just came, and instantly made him "famous".
"Chase, chase all the way to the border, how many can you kill!"
Hogg's eyes lit up immediately, and he rushed out with the large army behind him, this kind of chasing and killing battle, don't look at the number of enemies, it's useless! Even if Zhu Lingqi and Lu Zijing don't command, it doesn't matter, with the quality of Langdon's troops, it is enough to have Hogg to lead.
Seeing his troops excitedly chasing in the direction of the enemy's retreat, Langdon himself walked towards Yuanwang City, followed by Lu Zijing and Zhu Lingqi - for them, the little goblin who was likely to appear in the Vol family's troops in front was the real threat, much more dangerous than the Ethan Hawke family's fish belly troops!
It is impossible for the troops to make such a big move in pursuit that they will not be discovered.
Therefore, when Langdon was still about 1 kilometer away from that side, there was already a reaction from that side, and the troops quickly turned their heads and headed towards Langdon's side.
Of course, it was not an attacking stance, but a quick separation of left and right, which was to welcome the incoming, and there were only two people left in the middle.
All acquaintances.
Catalina on the left and Tior on the right.
Langdon walked through the troops on both sides, came to the two of them, paused, seemed to organize the language, then smiled, raised his hand and waved, and said, "Fortunately." β
The other side was obviously stunned, obviously not expecting Langdon's greeting to be so ...... Ordinary.
After a while, it was Caterina who spoke first, and I saw her smile very meaningfully, and said: "Unfortunately, it is not bitter at all, otherwise I would not have waited until now until you asked this sentence." β
Langdon touched his nose and knew that there would be such a thorn, and it was the one that would come to him no matter what he said.
Tior didn't say anything, but he looked at Langdon with a pair of wonderful eyes, and there was also meaning in it.
Langdon naturally didn't answer, his head turned left and right, and quickly changed the topic: "It seems that you have done a very good job during this time, the quality of these troops is quite good, over time, maybe they can all become elites, with them as a team, your family will definitely grow stronger and stronger." β
"Well, this is all thanks to your support, my lord, isn't it outstanding?" said Katarina.
But this time, there is no need for Langdon to deal with it, Lu Zijing on the side said lightly: "That's right, in nearly a year, I have sent you a thousand bottles of potions, as well as a lot of enchantment scrolls and the like, in addition, there are also a lot of various materials, if you can't pull such a force anymore...... Hmph!"
Zhu Lingqi's voice sounded closely, "Moreover, it is useless for the troops to be of high quality, such a good pursuit opportunity just now was wasted, and it is useless to give you several times the troops with such a command." β
Caterina's face changed, and she glared at the two of them fiercely, but her temper finally subsided a little because of this.
At this time, Tior finally spoke, "My lord, according to the information I have received, the Ethan Hawke family sent troops this time at the behest of the Bedasta family, and it seems that they did not send troops entirely to attack Yuanwang Town, it seems that there are other purposes, in addition, I also got the news that there seems to be a problem within the Hoflan family. β
When these words came out, it was not Landon who reacted first, but Caterina, her face was repeated, and she suddenly turned her head to look at Theor on her side, she suddenly reacted at this time, several people here are Landon's subordinates, she is the one who is weak!
It was clear that she didn't know these two messages from Tior!
Tior, on the other hand, ignored her and looked at Langdon.
This time, Langdon's face finally changed, and he said softly: "The Hoflan family, can't you save it like this?"
For Langdon, the existence of the Hofland family is still quite valuable, they can be regarded as the external barrier of the Maas region, blocking at least 3 families who have ideas about Langdon's territory, but since the Ethanhawk family defected to the Bedasta family, it has become two.
On the other hand, the Hoflan family is also a threat to the Bedasta family, as long as the Hoflan family exists, the Bedasta family and the Ethan Hawke family want to use troops in the Zomass area, and they dare not send all their forces.
Just like this time, Langdon just thought that the Houfflan family was there, and the Ethan Hawke family, which had suffered a big loss of troops, did not dare to send troops, but he didn't expect that the Hovlan family had not been defeated by foreign enemies, but he fell into civil strife first, maybe the Ethan Hawke family also got the news, so they dared to send troops to attack him so without worries.
Just as he was thinking, heavy footsteps sounded, but it was Hogg who rode back on the vulture turtle, alone, and the troops continued to chase and kill the troops of the Ethan Hawke family, which surprised Langdon a little, with this girl's character, she would not stop until she killed Shuang Shuang.
Strangely enough, Hogg was already approaching, raised his hand, grabbed something in his hand, and shouted, "My lord, look at this!"
This time, Langdon's face really didn't look good, and his voice became cold, and he said: "What a Bedasta family, it's really unscrupulous to achieve the goal!"
"My lord, what is this?" Lu Zijing asked curiously.
"A sacrificial instrument, bound to the soul of the bearer, can not only absorb the flesh and soul of the person killed by the holder as a sacrifice, but once the holder himself dies, it will also be completely absorbed!" Langdon said in a cold voice: "The Bedasta family forced the Ethan Hawke family to send troops, and attacking Yuanwang Town is only a secondary purpose, what they want is the people who died in the war as sacrifices! Including their own people!"
