The cavalry did not disperse, and remained camped outside the two gates of Disha Castle, and Andre did not return triumphantly, so nothing changed. Fidel stood on the tower of the inner city and watched the current situation

It was only during the day that the cavalry brigade that had arrived at Disha Castle last night could be seen - heavily armed and iron-armoured, invincible in the battle on the plains. With nearly two thousand cavalrymen in all, Fidel counted the number of tents. The reason for some more estimates is that the whole crew of the cavalry was not seen last night, and some of the cavalry was sent to reconnoiter and patrol.

Eddie stood beside Fed, and he kept looking east, in the direction of Oga Castle. He was silent, not knowing whether he was looking at the cavalry guarding the gates or at the horizon, but he saw the words "worried" in his eyes.

"The morale in the castle seems to be a little low," Fed found a topic, although he was not very good at talking, but the only person who could talk about business here was the cavalry squadron leader next to him, "Is this a common problem of mercenaries?"

Eddie was used to wearing a windshield mask, even if not in the desert or on horseback. He glanced at Field, not intending to answer the question.

"It seems that it is better for me to interrogate the prisoner first. ”

"Don't worry about morale, they're like that, they'll get better in two days," Seeing that Fede was about to leave here, Eddie finally spoke, "I want to interrogate that guy too, what do you think?"

"It's better for me to talk to him alone. "Fid knew that Eddie was worried about Andre, but it didn't help to look in Andrei's direction here, and besides, they had ten times the strength of Oga Castle. Feder thought as he walked in the direction of the prison.

There was a smell of stale grease in the gloomy prison, probably the smell of roast sausages and roast chicken left by yesterday, and it was really uncomfortable in this impermeable underground prison.

Fed walked to the last cell, where the mercenary guard from yesterday was still sitting outside. When he saw the captain come in, he immediately stood up and bowed. Despite the guards' strong spirits, Fed could tell he wasn't sleeping well.

"The robber had been talking last night, apparently mentally ill. The guard pointed a finger at his head, suggesting that the other was sick.

"Hmph, Lao Tzu is talking in a dream, which proves that Lao Tzu slept soundly!" The robber in the cell swept away yesterday's sluggish passivity, he stood in front of the cell door, held the iron railing with both hands, and looked at Fei De and said loudly.

Feder smiled and opened the cell door and bent in.

"Looks like you're willing to talk today. After saying that, Fidel turned his head and nodded to the guard, motioning for the other party to leave the place for a while.

The robber found a corner and sat down, "Look at the roast chicken and wine you gave, if you have anything to ask, just ask, anyway, Lao Tzu's life is already on hold, and he is not afraid of anything." He kept scratching his back with his hands, as if there were countless lice biting him.

Fide also sat down cross-legged, and he asked directly, "What's your name?"

"Noor," he said, staring at Fidel, "you don't have to ask, I know what you're going to ask." ”

"Really?"

"That's right, didn't you arrest me to get out of our bandits' stronghold, and then go there to kill my brothers and steal our things. ”

"Bandits?" Fidel discovered this detail, after all, there is a difference between a robber and a thief.

The corners of Noor's mouth went up, and he smiled slightly, "Don't you know? We are not robbers who kill people and steal goods, we are thieves, that is, in most cases, we will choose to steal instead of force." He said this with a lighthearted and guilt-free attitude.

"It sounds like a robber, but the purpose is the same anyway. ”

"Of course there's a difference, look at this," Noor stopped scratching his hand and reached into his crotch, where a small money bag was pulled out, "This money bag belongs to the mercenary guard outside, but I'm not going to give it back to him," he said and tucked the money bag back into his crotch, showing a look that he wasn't worried about being denounced by Fidel.

Feder didn't expect such a strong man to be hooked up with a shrewd thief, but the purse he had just pulled out was a testament to his extraordinary theft skills.

"So why did you kill our mercenaries?"

Nur stretched out his left hand and continued to scratch his back, "Kill your mercenaries, we are just protecting our homeland," his tone became serious, "The villages in this area are often exploited by various lords, and your mercenary group has been demanding things from our village for two consecutive days, are you the robbers?"

"That sounds like the mercenary's fault," said Fidel. ”

"We are the masters of this land, and you have come from afar to rob us of our things, uninvited guests!" he suddenly increased the volume of his speech, and several knights sleeping in the cell pricked up their ears and listened secretly, "Aren't we doing what we should do in self-defense against you bandits?!"

Feder looked at his open and closed fingers, and for a moment, he agreed with what the other man said, he was really a robber.

"Then I'll let you go, Noor. Feder stood up, he wasn't very good at debating, but the guy in front of him, who claimed to be a member of the thieves, was so righteous that he couldn't fight back.

Noor stopped scratching his hand and rolled his eyes at Fidel, unable to believe what he had heard.

"Are you kidding me..."

"No, since you met a robber and killed in self-defense, what reason is there to be imprisoned?" Fei De walked out of the cell and stood by the mercenary guard's chair, waiting for the other to come out.

Noor looked at the expressionless Fidel, he observed for a long time, and made sure that the other party did not mean to close the cell door, and slowly walked out.

Then Fidel pulled out an arrow from behind him—the one that had been pulled from the forehead of the mounted mercenary, "Is this something from your group of thieves?"

Noor was still in a state of surprise, but he walked over and took the arrow.

"This arrow... It's the Rock Thieves' bunch!" He poked his palm with the tip of the wood to make sure there were no iron arrows, "Those guys use these arrows. ”

Fei De actually just asked casually, but he didn't expect that the other party still had some information in his hand. Earlier, Xue Rui told him that the person who had been captured was not in the same group as the person who attacked their reconnaissance cavalry, and that he seemed to be just a lone bandit. Moreover, those who attacked the mercenaries on horseback used such arrows without iron arrows.

"Rock Bandits?"

"Yes, they must be," Noor put the arrow behind him, scratching his back instead of his left hand, "they are really strong, everyone is as strong as trained soldiers." ”

"You mean, this group of thieves is huge?"

Noor waved his right hand and said, "No, there are not many of them, but everyone is very powerful, haunting the borders of the three kingdoms of Kosai, the Duchy of Mazeni and the Oguna Empire, and they claim that they are not for money," Nur said and sat down on the mercenary guard's chair, "Hmph, I think they must have some ulterior secrets." ”

Feeling a little curious, Fidel continued, "That is, the people who attacked us were members of the Rock Thieves. ”

"That's right, they occasionally haunt the area, and they're just like me, they're ordinary peasants, and they're forced to be thieves. ”

After a while, Fidel learned more about the area. This area is where the borders of many countries are located, so all kinds of illegal and criminal gangs will haunt, in order to avoid the regular troops of various countries, they often haunt the mountains and forests, guerrilla warfare. However, these gangs rarely hurt ordinary villagers, and most of them intercepted caravans or state supplies - of course, only slightly stronger bandits or robbers would dare to do this.

Noorah himself was a member of a bandof thieves near Disha Castle and Pool Castle, and the group numbered only a few dozen people. He said that he was unlucky, and as soon as he entered the village to inquire about the situation, he was caught by the snow-haired female cavalryman.

Fed then took Noor out of prison, gave him a full meal in the castle dining hall, bathed him, and changed into the clothes of a kingdom soldier. Noor didn't say anything, but he noticed that the captains who had interrogated him that day were gone, and only this young man in black armor was left, and he had to take it one step at a time.

Later in the evening, Fed stood in the inner city tower, looking at the heavily armored cavalry camp in the distance. The other party had no intention of leaving, but instead built some wooden fences outside the camp, which seemed to be going to be consumed.

Eddie walked up behind Felder and said, "I tried to send someone to break out, but those heavy cavalry immediately rushed out of the camp, and we can only escape from this hellish place now if we have wings." ”

"Didn't hear from Andrey all day today?"

"No, damn it, it stands to reason that they should have already taken Oga Castle and give us feedback!"

"We'll just have to wait here, you've sent a crow messenger to Andrea, haven't you?"

"It was sent out last night!"

As the two of them discussed the current situation at a loss, Shelley hurried up the tower and grabbed a crow with one hand, which had a roll of creed tied to its feet.

"The crows flying from the east, probably Andre's situation!" "Sherry ran as fast as she climbed the tall building, which made her gasp for breath.

"Open up!" called Eddie.

Fed took the bound Creed from the crow's feet, and he glanced at it.

"We have been informed of the situation on your side, but the people who are besieging you will soon be evacuated, please hold on a little longer, and we have already captured the Oga Castle, and we are now besieging the Pool Castle, and we will take it soon!" the letter read.

Eddie read it and handed it to Cherry, "This is Andre's handwriting! That's right!" he jumped for joy, after all, there was some good news coming from the east at once.
