Chapter 380: The Arrogant Lafto

Let's start with a man's teenage years. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The man is the child of an ordinary farmer, and he has always believed that he will become a farmer in the future, because he has not been exposed to many options at all. Until that day comes.

On that day, the man saw a majestic procession on the ridge, and it was none other than the soldiers of the Imperial Army. He knew very little, but he knew a lot about it, because they peasants could only look up to see the soldiers' faces, didn't they?

On that day, the man realized for the first time that people are unequal, that there is a distinction between high and low status, and that he undoubtedly belongs to the lower ranks. In that moment, his desire and curiosity were ignited.

Is there a being more advanced than a soldier?

With such a question, the man looked to the front of the queue and saw the dazzling figure, the majesty of the Marshal of the Imperial Army. From that day on, the man gave up becoming a peasant, and he decided that one day he would become a marshal.

He studied diligently, and from his youth in the army he had made meritorious contributions during the time of the first emperor, and when war was almost no longer there, he had become a general before he was thirty years old.

This is a great feat for a farmer's son, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a "miracle". So, he was proud and complacent, and then his shortcomings were clearly seen by the current marshal.

The man's weapons are at most up to the general, and the marshal cut off the man's dream at the moment of such judgment.

The man gradually realized this fact, but he did not notice his shortcomings. He felt resentment and hatred, but he resented that the marshal was jealous of his talents, and feared that he would threaten his position, so he cut off his path to further advance.

Therefore, men have fallen into the evil way, and since the formal promotion channel of gaining the favor of the marshal has been closed, wouldn't it be better to rely on someone other than the marshal?

This is what this man thinks now, and this man is none other than the general of the Imperial Army's Western Expedition, Lafutu.

The pure white paper was written in neat words full of kind and kind words, like an old friend talking, but with some suggestions.

For Lafotu, who was on the western expedition, Marshal Miridrian sent this letter from the Eastern Front quickly, analyzed the situation in detail, and suggested that Laftou give priority to the construction of fortresses on mountain roads.

"Humph!"

No matter how softly Miridrian's letter was written, it was still scorned by Lafto. He rode in the middle of the carapace, and when he had read the letter, he immediately tore it in half, along with the envelope, and then in half, and in half, and in half, and in half, until it was torn to pieces.

"The soldier is so fast, he actually asked me to build a checkpoint outpost, it's really foolish!" said mockingly, and Lafotu tossed the shredded paper out with a flick of his hand. A volley of white flowers flew in the air, and then gradually dissipated into a little light crumbs, which was very beautiful and eye-catching.

The 100,000-strong army naturally will not have only one general in Lafortu, he is the commander-in-chief, and there are naturally several generals below.

At this moment, a general who was leading troops at the front of the rear army saw the scene staged by the Chinese army, and couldn't help asking: "Whose letter is so hated?"

The general was not talking to himself, but beside him, along with another "friend".

So, the friend replied, "Who else could it be?" ”

Hearing this, the general couldn't help but nod in agreement, and at the same time showed a very unhappy expression, "Isn't this kid a little too rampant!"

"Who let the family hug the thigh of the Prime Minister? ”

"I don't know what His Excellency Marshal said. ”

"Whatever your Excellency says, you can tell from the way he looks that he doesn't intend to listen. In that case, maybe we still don't know. When I died, I wanted to blame him for being an incompetent fool more than I blamed myself for being stupid. ”

"Hmph! That's a good point. ”

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves sounded. A messenger came to Lafotu from the front along the edge of the mountain path, and reported: "Your Excellency, the vanguard of the front army has passed through the mountains and caught the smoke of cooking nearby, so I have come to ask for your instructions. ”

"Hmm. Lafortu nodded in satisfaction. It was naturally good for the vanguard army to pass through the mountains unharmed, and even better was to see the fact that the smoke was being cooked. If there is smoke, it means that there is a village, and if there is a village, it means that there are people, and if there is someone, it means that there is intelligence.

"Tell your general, and tell him to quickly send a detachment to raid that settlement and capture a few people back. ”

"Yes!" replied, and the herald turned around and galloped back along the road from which he had come.

"Ahh

"Run!"

"Run!"

"I'm going to be killed!"

As the Imperial army stepped in, the villagers of the small wetland village began to flee in all directions, and dozens of people soon disappeared into the surrounding swamp and woodland.

And just as the cavalry was about to continue the pursuit, a horn sounded from behind them.

"Uh......h Woo...... Woo......"

Three long beeps, this is the signal for the withdrawal of troops. So, the cavalry captain, who had already led his troops to the edge of the woodland, returned to the small village with his men. In front of the relatively largest house, he joined the adjutant general of the United Army, who had led the team.

"My lord, aren't we chasing?"

The cavalry captain asked. Immediately, the adjutant nodded.

"The terrain ahead has not been scouted, and it is too risky to rush forward in such a place full of swamps. ”

"But none of us caught any of them?"

"Alas!" the lieutenant sighed at the thought of this, "although most of the people who can survive in the difficult area have good physical strength, these guys are really too fast." I can't help but see if there is anything in these houses that can make us pay off. ”

At this moment, the soldiers who searched the big house ran out quickly.

"My lord, we found this. As he spoke, the soldier handed over a scroll of poster-like things.

After taking the "poster" and unfolding it, the deputy general couldn't help but be overjoyed. What the soldiers found was a map of the "Evernight Forest", and it seemed to be much more detailed than the version they had rubbed from ancient books.

"Very good!" Immediately, the adjutant general praised the soldier, "With this, it can be regarded as a good deal." ”

It's just that at this time, the deputy general didn't notice that there was a group of people in the swampy woodland who were quietly observing him with "eagle eye technique".

This group of people is the same villagers who had fled from the desert, and instead of going far, men and women gathered together and hid in nearby hidden places.

"How's it going!

"It's a success. At least the general-like man was smiling happily. ”

"But that's a squad leader, right?"

"And if you look closely, we villagers are a bit too uneven. Isn't it strange that it's all young people, not a single old man or a child?"

"What do you want to do so much? We just have to do the paid work. ”

"In other words, the other party is less than 100 people, so we can easily solve it. It looks like you're going to drop a lot of expensive items. ”

"If you want to make trouble, ask this friend to do it himself. When the time comes, if you are found by the four knights, please take care of it alone. ”

"Cut! You think I'm afraid of them! What if Richard is here?"

"Ahh ”

"Well, I'd better think about it again. ”

"Cut!" everyone said in unison, all of them showing disdain.
