"Thirty men were lost," Evan agreed to Fidel's plan - to send most of the soldiers to lure the Imperial cavalry of Oguna into attack, and he led a hundred elite troops to raid the opponent's "general", "The casualties of the hundreds of infantry and other mercenaries responsible for the lure may be more than half." Evan knew it himself, but he still had some confidence in his soldiers, even if they were outnumbered.

Coincidentally, the small forest where the bandits had planned to ambush the Sallins light infantry became the place to ambush the Imperial cavalry.

The summer breeze caresses the lush foliage, and the small forest seems to contrast the coziness and tranquility with the blood of the depths of the forest. From a distance, Evan heard a few of Salin's light infantry standing guard in the trees, and it was a characteristic military signal - victory. But when he and Kaman walked to the ambush just now, they didn't feel the joy of victory.

Three hundred Salins light infantry and dozens of Carman's mercenaries withstood the attack, but more than ninety percent of the brothers were killed - only seventeen were left alive, and only two were unwounded.

"There are almost eight hundred cavalry in the Empire, and although they are too blindly confident, there are too few brothers in ambush..."One of the unwounded light infantrymen reported the situation to Evan, "The enemy's cavalry followed closely and our brethren who were responsible for luring us straight to the center of the forest, and many of our brethren hid in the trees, so the 'net' was overwhelming, but this 'net' was too small"

Evan closed his eyes and exhaled deeply. Carman's Water Dog Mercenary Regiment survived eight, and when they saw the boss, they all rushed up to talk about their bravery and not mention the other dead guys.

Kaman: "Living little brothers, carry back the equipment of those dead guys, and if you can't get it, hurry back to town and push the cart to move..."

A Salins light foot soldier tried to stop a mercenary from touching the steel helmet of the dead brother, but was stopped by Evan with a wave of his hand.

"These vultures!" the soldier scolded, but obedience was their duty.

Evan approached Carman and said, "Your mercenary group has done a good job in protecting the town, and the collusion with the bandits has been canceled. He thought for a moment and then said, "You can also take the equipment of our regular army, but you will help us bury them." The soldiers of Sahlins will always be in the place of their sacrifice. ”

Kaman patted his chest: "No problem! Listen, the little ones, the corpses are all taken off their armor before being buried!

Although it cost a huge amount, it was finally won. Reported by the scouts in Douro Town, the attack on Zhenxi was also lifted, and now only the barons of the empire and the daughter of the kidnapped duke remained. "If Fed can bring back the only daughter of the Grand Duke this time, he will have the conditions to enter the military ranks of Sahlins," thought Evan, "and even if Fed himself is unwilling, the king's rewards and orders will not be objected to." Apparently he was not worried about his nephew's safety, and even if he faced the Baron of the Empire alone, Evan was confident that Fentry would be able to bring the Duke's daughter back safely, after all, he had his brother's blood in his body.

But what makes Evan most uneasy is Fidel's sense of mission and responsibility, and I don't know if it's because he and his brother occupy too much, so that the next generation can't find a trace of it.

The war horses of the Oguna Empire are famously excellent, and the one under Burns's crotch is even more one in a thousand, bearing the weight of two people's bodies but not being caught up by Fidel, so he has to praise the horse breeder.

The two horses kept a short distance, but there was no sign of being able to catch up, and Fei De himself was not good at riding, so he did not dare to fly easily with the throwing spear in his hand. At this time, Kesi, who was tied behind Burns, regained her composure and began to struggle gently, slowly rubbing the hemp rope tied to her hand.

Just as she was about to break the rope, Burns suddenly noticed what was happening behind her, and Keth reached out in a hurry to push Burns, and she fell off her horse and rolled to the side of the road.

As Burns looked back to check the situation, Fielder threw the pistol in his hand with great force, and the javelin was very accurately targeted, straight at the baron's heart.

"Phew!" The metal tip of the spear shattered as if glass had fallen to the ground when it touched the baron's golden armor, but the wooden stick of the spear did not stop, and slammed into the baron.

Under the influence of this throwing gun, the baron's center of gravity was lost at once, and the whole person fell from his war horse fiercely.

"Enchanted? Looks like metal can't hurt him. Feder rode his horse and thought about how to deal with the other party.

Burns, though bulky, quickly got up from the ground, pulled a short golden dagger from his waist, and slowly approached Field.

Fed then jumped off the horse, but the moment he did, he slapped the horse hard on the buttocks. The sore war horse ran away and ran straight in the direction of Burns Station. The baron couldn't dodge, and ate the impact of the war horse, the short dagger in his hand was also thrown out a few meters away, and the war horse was also knocked to the side by Burns's reaction force.

The baron had been hit twice before and after, and his internal organs had already been injured, and when he tried to stand up, he could not help but vomit blood on the ground. Feder ran in the direction of the dagger as soon as he was knocked into the air, and the baron struggled to get there.

When Fed grabbed the dagger, the baron knocked him down with all his strength, and the dagger flew several meters away. The two pieces of enchanted armor collided violently, and the black plate armor turned golden yellow in an instant, and then turned back to black, and the baron's armor changed in the same way.

Fed's hands suddenly reached out and grabbed the baron's neck, which happened to be uncovered by armor. The baron instantly felt numb all over his body, like a lump of soft mud. Feder easily grabbed the baron, who was dragged around like a giant rag doll.

The baron was dragged to the edge of a hill, his consciousness clear, but his limbs seemed to be uncontrollable and limp. Fed let go of a hand and untied the top half of the golden armor, revealing the baron's round belly. He lifted the baron up and threw him into the heap of rocks under the hill like a piece of wood.

Burns struggled in the air, but in the blink of an eye, he fell into the rocky ground and tumbled. The baron's belly was pierced by the sharpest stones, and gushing out of his intestines and entrails stained the hills on that side. Until he stopped rolling and became a "wooden toy" that had been dismantled and scattered.

Feder took off the black plate armor that had lost its luster, and looked coldly at the baron's corpse in the distance, recalling what his father had said: "'Black Flash' is a very tough piece of enchanted armor, but enchanted armor has a shortcoming, if it comes into contact with other enchanted objects, it may have incalculable consequences, it has also absorbed and fused the abilities of other enchantments, but I have let the enchanted forger confine." Trust me, my son, you'll regret relying too much on weapons and enchantments!" So now that the armor has undergone an unknown change, all he has left is the enchanted gauntlets. Feder thought to himself.

Carrying the plate armor, Fidel found that one of the horses was missing, so he led the other horse to Koss, by which time the duke's daughter was bleeding from her head and fell into a brief coma. Seeing the blood-stained weeds and stones on the ground, Fed judged that Kesi might have a slight fracture, so he didn't dare to move the other party immediately.

After observing for a while, he went to a nearby river and filled his water bag with clear water, and sat beside Kosi until it was a little dark, and he made a fire.

The warmth of the fire slowly woke up for Kesi, who woke up with pain all over her body, and a scratched scar from the corner of her left eye to her eyebrow, which was so deep that it was inevitable that it would become a permanent scar.

"Who are you?" "Who are you?" said Kesi slowly sat up from the grass, her fingers trying to touch the scar from her eyebrow to the corner of her eye, "Where am I now?"

"Don't touch that wound, if it's infected, you have to go to the doctor, it's troublesome. Fed added some firewood in one hand and took out two apples and threw them to Kess, "My name is Fed, not from the Empire," he glanced at Ketch who was full of vigilance and fear, "You are in a safe place now." ”

Kesi found that her eyes were still open under the scars, but there was a slight stinging at the edges. She looked around and saw that a large grassland had been shrouded in endless darkness, and the slightest breeze at night was a little comfortable in the heat of summer.

"Luckily you didn't break a bone, and it's okay to fall off such a quick horse, and it seems that the Duke's daughter is not so weak. Fed put in enough dry wood and lay down on the ground.

"My name is Queth, I'm not" The Grand Duke's daughter was about to say something, but she subconsciously pursed her lips and didn't say it. I just silently ate the fruit and massaged the swollen and painful joints with my hands.

"Who you are has little to do with me. With that, Feder closed his eyes and went to sleep.

There was no word all night, and the war horse tied to the tree also slept peacefully. The firewood faded with the night, and as soon as the sun came out, Fidel woke up. In fact, he didn't sleep well at night, although he was tired for a day, hunger made it difficult to sleep - after all, he only found two apples.

"Is there water near here, I want to wash it. When she woke up, she found that her hands were very dirty, and even if her whole body was sore, it was not as dirty as the one that made her uncomfortable.

Fide untied the rope tied to the tree, led the war horse and said, "There is no need for this matter, I will send you to Douro now." ”

"No," Kosi replied softly.

"You want to go straight to Mallot?"

"No!!" shouted Kesi, "I don't want to go back, I can't go back!"

This reaction surprised Fei De slightly, and he had the impression that the aristocratic girl's voice should be very soft.

"Now the whole kingdom knows you're missing and sends you back to the capital..."

"If you're going to send me back, I'll kill myself right now!" Hope plans to bite her tongue and kill herself.

Fett slowly walked over to Keth, "Suicide is not a threat to me, and my uncle has lost a lot of his men to save you. ”

Korth's body took a step back, but her eyes didn't budge—she stared straight at Fed's feet, as if that were the deciding factor in the distance between them.

"Whatever you want, I didn't care about politics in the first place," Feder saw the other party's determination, he shook his head and turned away, "Anyway, I'm about to leave Salins, and how about the kingdom has nothing to do with me." ”

Kesi was stunned and said, "Aren't you a soldier?"

Fidel walked slowly to the horse and said without looking back, "No, I'm a civilian, and I'm going to be a mercenary in the Republic of Marvil. ”

"Then you take me with you, I'm going to be a mercenary too!"

"No kidding, Duke's daughter Christine," Feder turned around and looked at Keth coldly, "since you don't want me to take you back to Mallot, then you can go wherever you want, and you can go back to the Duchy if you want, and it has nothing to do with me anyway." ”

Kesi lowered her head and whispered, "I can't go back to the Duchy, and I definitely won't go back to the Kingdom, if I am discovered by the people of the Empire..."

"Everybody's looking for you, but it's no good to follow me, right?" Feder was a little impatient.

"Well, I'll follow you, and I'll leave by myself when I reach the republic. ”

Feder looked at Kesi coldly again, thought for a moment and said, "This is a very pointless thing, you can have a better choice..."

"No, that's my choice, no regrets. ”

"Whatever you want. "There's not much that Phyllable can do about this wayward girl.

"It's about thirty-five days from here to the Republic, but it's okay, we'll spend most of our time on the boat, so you'll sit behind me. ”

Kesi nodded and said, "That's acceptable, but the scars on my face..."

"It doesn't matter what, the mercenary's scars are alive. ”
