Chapter 131: Duel
I rubbed my red eyes and said, "Now that you've found it, what are you waiting for, drag it out and kill it!"
The man fell to his knees with a thud, soft as mud. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Vicente looked at me, his mouth wide open, almost stupid.
I reacted, quickly coughed twice, and said, "What, I'm kidding, you're the internal affairs talent that Vicente found, right?"
Vicente woke up with an "ah", quickly pulled him up, and said, "That's right, I gave them a test yesterday, and I finally found one, this guy, full score in mathematics, Calradian ninety-nine, not bad, hehe...... It's just that he is a little timid, and always thinks that we are going to kill him. β
Hearing the word "kill", the guy fell down again.
I smiled wryly and rubbed my eyes, and yawned: "I said, don't be so timid, I'm really recruiting an internal affairs housekeeper, you can introduce yourself well, if not, I won't do anything to you." β
The guy got up tremblingly, his legs were no longer steady, and he sat on the ground, trembling and said: "I, I, I call Daodaota, oh no, it's Duoduoduota, I, I was the internal steward of Fort Tetwalin, don't kill me......"
I smiled and said, "Why are you so nervous, talk well, what the hell is your name?"
The man fought with his upper and lower teeth and said, "Duoduo Duo Ta...... Leave me alone, my lord......" He cried bitterly as he hugged the table leg.
I looked at Vicente, and he shrugged: "No way, I can only find this guy in a short time." β
I sighed: "Okay, trust your vision. Who, chop chop chop, you first familiarize yourself with the content of the work, and talk to Vicente if there is anything you don't understand. β
The man collapsed weakly on the ground: "Back to the words of the great king, my name is Duoduo Duota, not chopping and chopping him......"
"Oh, the tower of the toto, ......"
"No, it's not the Duoduo Tower, it's the Duoduo Tower......"
"......" I looked at him and didn't speak.
"No, it's not a lot of towers, alas, it's a lot of towers, a tower ......"
"Forget it, it doesn't matter......" I waved my hand: "Who, Vicente, take him down to me to familiarize himself with the work, and don't dangle it in front of me." β
Vicente's face was clearly the color of pig liver, and he laughed maniacally, and as he laughed, he kicked Dota's butt and took the man down.
I walked to the castle's window facing the training ground, where the daily training of the Fourth Legion had begun, and the nearest smaller training ground was all taken over by the men of the Old Ten and Five Brigades, who were in Alvin? Under Ann's command, he trained to assassinate and shoot in formation, a little further away on the largest training ground, a mock confrontation between the two brigades of the Fourth Legion, the commanders of the former Seventh and Eighth Brigades, and on a training ground farther away, some of the overgrown recruits of the Fourth Legion and those who had just been released from the dungeons to join the Legion were receiving recruit education, and a dozen brothers who had previously followed us were training them in formation and basic fighting techniques. It seems that the valley is thriving and full of life.
Suddenly, from the accommodation area of the Ten and Five Brigades, a small white dot fluttered up, and soon flew through the morning mist in the valley and into the blue sky.
But soon, a black shadow rushed up from the woods like lightning, chasing the white dot.
The corners of my mouth involuntarily smiled slightly, looking at the area, if you want to fight wits, if you want to spy war, then come on, who have I Emmons been afraid of?
Sherena and three thousand warriors of the Heroic Fighter Regiment in shining armor were stationed here.
Serena is the most famous female gladiator of Chanda, and it is said that she has only been defeated once by Kradus since her debut, and that was because of her bad luck on that occasion, when she drew a random weapon lottery, she only drew a floppy practice bow and a practice dagger, while her opponent Kradus was lucky enough to draw his best horse hunting lance.
Even so, Xie Rena and Karadus worked around until all the practice arrows were fired, and they were finally stabbed down by Karadus with a single shot, and they reluctantly resigned themselves to the second place among the three small powerhouses of Zenda.
Of course, Xie Rena rarely plays in person now, and her existence as a legendary character is enough to deter many thieves who vainly try to invade Zenda. The lords of the Five Great Powers would occasionally invite Serena to their cities to participate in tournaments - Serena rarely played off, but would stand in the arena and announce the start of the tournament. Because if Xie Rena participated, there was always no suspense in the result.
However, even so, in the impression of many lords, Xie Rena is just a crazy woman who laughs proudly in the arena, and few people know her other identity - the only female general of the Haojie Fighter Regiment!
At this moment, Xie Rena sat quietly in the tent that had previously belonged to Guanxi Chen, carefully looking through the official documents left by Guanxi Chen one by one.
"It's the Knights of Glory of Svadia. Serena gritted her nails, "Strange, why would they know where we are, and why would they suddenly attack us? β
"Generalβ" A herald in thick one-piece plate chain mail rushed into the camp, "Report to the general, a large number of unidentified troops have been found in the west, numbering more than 10,000 people, and are rushing towards us!"
"West?" Serena glanced at the map hanging on the wall that had not yet been torn off, "To the west is the territory of the Svadians, and the Svadians are coming?"
The herald shook his head: "It's not clear, we just saw the smoke and dust, and the scouts have gone to check it out." β
Xie Rena thought for a while: "No matter how much, inform the brothers, all retreat into the camp, strengthen the fortifications, and prepare for battle!" After speaking, she reached out and picked up two round-headed iron rods from the table, and knocked them together, making a crisp sound of "ding".
The scout soon returned, and the young scout boy looked dazed and incredulous, and said, "General, it's strange, although they march in a standard marching column, and even have a clear distinction between the troops, they are not an army at all!"
"What does it mean not to be an army?" Xie Ruina's eyebrows twisted: "Tell me clearly, which side of the army is it on, what banner is flying, and who is the leader?"
The scout's face was full of weirdness and eccentricity, and said: "Which side of the army, this is really not clear, the banner they are flying is with a white sheet, on which is painted a shining golden sword, the leader is not clear, they don't seem to need someone to command to advance in unison, but there is a carriage in their ranks, this is very suspicious." β
"What about the weapons and equipment, how about the equipment?" Xie Rena was already impatient.
The scout sighed: "I have never seen such equipment before, they wear armor that is twenty or thirty years old, some people have no armor at all, and some people, sewing a few pieces of iron on the animal skin, it is considered armor." There were probably only one or two thousand of them with normal weapons, the others were armed with rakes, scythes, sledgehammers, and even the cavalry rode donkeys or mules, and they didn't look like an army at all, like refugees fleeing!"
"Refugees?" Xie Rena smiled bitterly, "Hearing you say that, it is clear that they are refugees! However, it is still necessary to prepare for battle, inform the scout team, go and contact them, ask them who they are, what they are doing, and let them take a detour. β
The scout answered, and turned away. Xie Rena laughed twice and put the iron rod on the table again.
Half an hour later, the news came back from the scouts: "They say that they are farmers near Elindaha, because the Swadia Empire has been in turmoil recently, and the war tax is several times higher than before, and a riot broke out in Elindaha, they are the main force of the rebel peasant army, and they are now being pursued by the Swadia army, I hope we can shelter them." β
"Shelter?" Xie Rena thought for a moment and said, "It seems that Kai guy said, everyone is poor, and if there is anything you can help, try to help." Anyway, Harlaus's guy is also true, obviously they are incompetent, and they can't even cure a few horse thieves under their rule, and they are embarrassed to levy such a heavy war tax on the peasants. I've heard that some farmers have to work hard for years to get it in. Go tell them to let them pass quickly, and the Svadian pursuers behind us, we will help them stop them!"
"However, some are not very good...... scout said, "We don't have a lot of troops......
Xie Rena slapped the scout on the head: "What's good or not, it's all poor people, and ah, have you forgotten who we are? We are an invincible group of heroic fighters, although there are only 3,000 people, but even the invincible Knights of Glory have been easily defeated by us, those Svadians who suppressed the peasant uprising, where do you think the combat effectiveness will be high? Go!"
The scout covered his head and went.
Coming and going, the strange peasant rebel army has entered the sight of the heroic fighters, in the eyes of these elite fighters, this peasant rebel army is full of exhaustion and embarrassment, many of the already rudimentary armor has been torn to the point of not being seen, some scythes or axes that are not suitable for the battlefield at first glance, the curling blades of the curling blades, the broken ones.
At the head was a line of peasants with rudimentary spears, looking with panic at the eyes that were completely hidden beneath the winged helmets or gladiator's horn helmets, and the double-ended iron-smelting battle axes in the scale gauntlets, as if they were ready to flee for their lives at any moment.
Serena pushed away the guards standing in front of her, "Which village are you from, and where are the Swadia troops?"
There was a commotion in the crowd, and after a while a fat man who was sweating profusely and riding on the back of a green donkey, while wiping his sweat with his hands in a hurry, jumped down from the donkey's back in embarrassment, and replied: "If you go back to the female general, we are the peasants of Elindaha, and this is the vanguard of our rebel army, and there are about two thousand Svadians, maybe three thousand, but I don't know, our rearguard, four thousand men, is fighting them ten miles away, and I hope the female general will help us......"
Xie Rena "cut" disdainfully, "It's just two or three thousand Swadia lackeys, and they scared you like this, I think you have at least 10,000 people here, why don't you turn around and fight them to the death, but leave your companions and run away?"
The fat man gasped, leaned on the donkey's back, and said, "Where would we be willing, if it weren't for the high taxes, we would still be farming at home, and those who stayed behind were our best boys, and my son was also there, and they were sent to death so that most of us could successfully escape......! This female general, I don't think you are Svadia's army, you must be the rangers who have been famous for the Heavenly Path recently, I beg you, go and save our boys, and save our hope for the future of Elindaha......"
Xie Ruina's face became more and more solemn, and she looked in the direction that the fat man pointed back: "There is a river over there, and the advantages of the Svadian cavalry cannot be brought into play, if you set off to help now, it should be too late...... That fat man, you can ride a horse, right?"
The fat man wiped his sweat: "I can ride a donkey...... Horseback riding should be the same, right?"
Xie Rena rolled her eyes and yelled at the back: "Give him a horse, Haojie one to five squads, get on the horse, follow me to save people!"
As soon as Xie Ruina's voice came out, the guards beside her immediately hurriedly said: "General, Haojie's first to five squads, that's two thousand people! We only have eight squads here, three thousand two hundred people, and if we take it out this time, we will only have 1,200 people left!"
Xie Rena glanced at the peasants who were sitting on the ground in rags and exhausted, gasping for breath and drinking water, and said coldly: "1,200 people, enough! Don't talk nonsense, set off with me immediately! That fat man, you lead the way...... What's your name, and what weapon do you use?"
The fat man hurriedly stuffed the handkerchief that wiped the sweat back into his arms, and said timidly: "Report to the female general, my name is Rex, I used to be a tailor, forget about weapons or something, I will only use embroidery needles and scissors ......"
Xie Rena smiled: "It's okay, with us, you will soon learn to use other things." Guard, give him a shield, let's go now!"
Saying that, Xie Rena flew up and stepped on the war horse, whipped it fiercely, and galloped out like lightning, stopping hundreds of meters away in the blink of an eye: "What are you still doing in a daze? Leave immediately, this is an order!"
With the boom and thunder of horses' hooves, the previously well-organized camp was two-thirds empty at the snap of a finger, and a billowing cloud of smoke and dust rushed towards the west.
As the smoke disappeared behind the hills on that side, the curtain of the wagon, which had been abruptly parked in the peasant rebel army, suddenly moved, and a series of old coughs came from inside.
Hearing this coughing sound, the coachman, who had been stubble on his face full of decadence and listlessness, seemed to be in his spirits for a moment, and turned back in a low voice and asked, "My lord?"
"Ahem...... Jock, Rex and they're gone, right?"
"Well, they're gone. β
"That'...... Ahem...... It's time for us to get to work......"
"Understood, Lord Gaon!"
