Chapter XXXVIII

"But it's unlikely that we'll be able to escape from this barracks if we break free here!" Carrie looked at the two stunned young men, both rubbing the hemp rope constantly, and she had to remind them of the cruelty of reality.

"Let's break the rope first," Big Nose Fan didn't care about Carrie, he had already broken the hemp rope that tied his hands with the tip of his iron spear, "Maybe the people here will become idiots like this cavalry later?!"

This is simply impossible, and it is estimated that Fan will think of it. After listening to Carrie's words, Avi also stopped, thinking about and analyzing the current situation. If you really want to escape from here, you guess you have to make everyone else demented, and that fat man may be coming back soon, and if we haven't sneaked away yet, we will definitely be caught.

The idea had barely come to mind, and the fat man came back with a group of people.

"It's this guy, you see he's become an idiot! There must be a ghost," the fat man wanted to continue, but the general-looking guy next to him immediately gave him a big slap, and the iron-clad gauntlet knocked out a few of the fat man's teeth, spurting out a mouthful of blood.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Fan quickly pushed Avi. Avi, who was sitting next to him, understood and immediately used his hands behind his back to help Big Nose Fan help the hemp rope again - although the hemp rope had been cut into a single piece, Avi still used the longest section to tie a knot casually.

That general was the Marquis Ampvo of the Kingdom of Cose, and the uncle of Jack, the younger brother of the king who commanded 100,000 soldiers this time. It's just that because he is a relative, he has always been by Jack's side as a deputy.

"Hmph! I hate to hear the word 'ghost' the most, it's like Jack's nickname 'Green Ghost', it's just a trick!" The Marquis of Ampvo has always been dissatisfied with a little ghost who is nearly thirty years younger than himself as his boss, so he now took the opportunity to beat the fat man and let out a sigh, "You take these three captives for me, let me take a closer look." ”

The guards behind the Marquis of Ampvo immediately came over, lifted Avi and the others up, and stood in front of Ampworn.

Avi looked at the strong man in front of him, and he began to realize that something was wrong. Nearly 1.9 meters tall, Ampvo weighed at least twice as much as the heavy armor on his body, and his dark skin, strong muscles, and two long, curly beards all showed the marquis's fierceness. What made him even more uneasy was the way the other party had treated his own soldiers just now - directly slapping the ground and looking for teeth, which was more cruel than the sheriff of Golden Hoof City.

The Marquis walked back and forth twice in front of these imps, and he pulled out the Quenching Knight Sword from Avi's waist and stuffed it back in, without the slightest thing unusual. The marquis had the hussar who had turned into an idiot pulled over again, and he looked at the cavalryman whose saliva was soaked in his clothes, and slapped him twice. But except for some blood from the other party's mouth, the demented person is still demented, and there is no other reaction.

"It's really stupid, this kind of person can't be cured, and the military doctor doesn't want to waste medicine," Marquis Ampvo pulled out his big sword from his entourage, and swung it in the direction of the light cavalry, an invisible sword wind was like an extremely thin steel wire, instantly cutting the head and body of the demented light cavalry! The blood gushed upwards from the neck of the light cavalry because it "couldn't find" the blood vessels of the head, and the head that was still drooling and mixed with blood had rolled to the corner of the barracks prison.

The soldiers of the Kosai Kingdom present shivered, the fat man had just touched his swollen cheek, and now he began to touch his fat neck. Avi and the three of them also felt the cruelty of the Marquis, especially the enchanted greatsword in his hand. The tip of the sword has been emitting a slight white light, and the moment he threw the sword just now, the white light on the tip of the sword turned into a white wind blade, and flew directly towards the demented light cavalry.

Avita had never seen this way of killing. Ever since he knew that there were enchanted weapons, he had seen a lot of incredible powers, and although many still thought it was just a trick of the blacksmiths, Avi could really feel that these powers could even be compared to the magic he had seen in the past. But I just don't know what kind of strength the life weapons more powerful than them will have. Thinking of this, Avi began to have some expectations for the weapon of life, because if he had such great power in his hands, then revenge on those so-called "righteous judges" was just around the corner, and he could see his mother and Miranda again, and no one would look down on me as a horseman again.

The marquis's deputy asked in a low voice, "Then what about these young people?"

Instead of sheathing his sword, Ampvo looked at the three of them with his indifferent eyes. "It's a waste of food to raise them, although they may just be ordinary civilians, but"

"Lord Marquis! Prince Jack himself asked me to come to you," a group of guards suddenly came from outside the barracks of the prison, and the man standing at the front was dressed in a style similar to Avi's, all of them were Imperial clothes, "He told you to return to the camp immediately, and we will soon set off." ”

The person who spoke was none other than the Chief of the General Staff, Colin. The last time he had released a crow to tell Horlow that he had been caught by Ampwer, he had been keeping an eye on the king's uncle all the time, lest he should strike at him first—and never let the marquis be out of his sight.

"Ouch, these teenagers who seem to be from the Empire. Colin shrunk back with round glasses and squeezed in, "Well, what did you guys do?

At this time, Carrie began to pretend to be aggrieved and "cry" to the chief of the general staff about what happened tonight, and she even said that the coachman was a relative and died very unjustly.

Avi and Big-Nosed Fan felt helpless when they listened to this nonsense, but what made them even more helpless was that they had to pretend to be pitiful. It's just that they all realized that this official was the opposite of the brutal marquis in front of them, and with the military camp of the Kosai Kingdom, there were people from the Oguna Empire, so they all put their hopes on the man with glasses.

Colin touched Carrie's head, but there was a discomfort in the short black hair that hadn't been washed in those days that made him feel greasy, so he quickly withdrew his hand and wiped it on his clothes.

"Okay, you guys just follow Prince Jack's orders, stay in our barracks prison first, we're not thugs, we won't kill people indiscriminately," Colin deliberately glanced at the Marquis of Ampvo with his eyes when he said this, "That idiot hussar guesses that he is sick, and he suddenly went crazy, so let's find a place to bury him!"

Ampvo slowly put his sword back into its scabbard, and he didn't look at Colin. "If you take them, a few more people will come to watch!"

At this time, Colin glanced at the fat man who was in charge of supervising the barracks prison.

The fat man immediately opened his mouth and said, "I can take care of them alone." "He had lost a few teeth, and his red, swollen face made his pronunciation not so standard.

"Whatever you want!" the Marquis turned to leave, still not glancing at Colin.

Colin followed the Marquis after seeing him leave, he didn't really care about Avi's life and death, but he was very satisfied with the fat man's performance.

The barracks began to be opened, and most of the baggage was retained, except for some heavy things that were inconvenient for marching, while Avi, Carrie, and Fan were joined together by the fat man with a very long rope that bound everyone's hands. The fat man, like a six-legged animal, followed at the very rear of the army.

"Hey, we'll probably have to follow them through that ruined city, the legendary ghost town. Fan stood at the end, and he kept looking back, and there was nothing behind him except for the barracks he had just left.

"Even if there are ghosts, they will definitely kill the army in front of them first, and it will probably be dawn when it is our turn. Avi looked at the night sky, it was already the second half of the night, and the moonlight had been obscured by dark clouds, so he couldn't tell the difference between east and west at all, so he had to follow the fat man.

Carrie secretly opened her two cuffs, and she stood in the middle of the three, not letting anyone notice.

Most of the 100,000 soldiers of the Kosai Kingdom in front were infantry, and the shoes they wore were light and wind-proof, so the soldiers walking in front were very quiet and did not make any noise. The whole team is like a ghost army coming out of hell, silently.

Jack, who was at the forefront, rode a brown-red war horse, and he said to Colin beside him: "There should be a ruined city ahead, and you Imperial people must not have been here." ”

Colin shook his head, and he asked one of his servants to light a candle and shine a report in his hand. "The legend of the ruined city is not credible at all, but I have found another question, where will we meet up with the mercenary guild's special forces?"

The Marquis of Ampvo listened without interjecting a word. The Mercenary Guild is a mercenary force composed of nine mercenary groups on the mainland, and it can be said that it is the flag bearer of the mercenary era. The mercenary groups of various countries and major cities will let these nine mercenary groups score three points, and the rules of some mercenary tasks are still set by them for the whole continent, and the core will of the union is to keep the whole continent "balanced", and the balance they say is actually the melee of the countries, this chaotic situation can make them earn more money - only the Marvier Republic, they founded the country with mercenaries, and the mercenary groups in the republic do not intend to listen to the mercenary union's instructions at all. Therefore, the Republic of Marvier has always been a thorn in the side of the mercenary union, but before the change of monarch of the Winter Kingdom, that is, the Kingdom of Kosai, and the three principalities restrained each other, the mercenary union had no chance to take advantage of it.

It can be said that this sneak attack on the Republic was completely out of the idea of the mercenary union, but Jack and they didn't know which of the nine mercenary groups would be to pick them up.

"This is the ruined city, if we continue to move forward, it will be the territory of the Republic of Marvil, why haven't those mercenary groups of the union appeared?" said Jack, pointing ahead.

"We've been waiting for you here for a long time. A voice came from not far away.

Jack's front was originally a large black patch, but suddenly thousands of white points of light appeared in his field of vision, and when he looked closely, he found that each white point of light was a person, and the location of that point of light was on everyone's forehead.
