The 3rd Squadron of the 15th Brigade was able to retreat in its entirety. In just one day www.biquge.info on the 10th, the 14th Brigade lost a squadron, and the 15th Brigade lost more than half of its men and horses.

At the time of the battle on the Tenth, I was trekking through the dense forest no more than twenty miles south of Fort St. Ruz Godda. The plan I left for the four centurions for the next week mentioned that if the battle plan did not go well, they were to retreat in the direction of Half-Step Mountain, but the retreat route was not to move straight to Half-Step Mountain, but to the south, sneaking around Fort St. Ruz Godda, then south to Fort Rende, and then turning northeast, crossing the dividing line between the north and south ends of the Central Ranch to reach Biglen. When you arrive at Biglen, you can safely head all the way north to Banbu Mountain. For this reason I left them a letter with a map attached to it, so that they would not get lost, or when they reached the half-step mountain, they would be treated by Molodov as bandits.

Guangguang asked, "Where is your destination? Did you feel anything when you left the barracks in such a hurry?"

I said, "Even you, a member of Rhodoc's National Intelligence Service, have been involved, how much secrecy do you think is there in this operation? If I were Old G, I would have planted a back hand near Ellerdeig, just waiting for a potential enemy to take the bait." It's just that I don't know who the overseer of the fifteenth brigade is, but he really has the ability to make Harlan Gosburg remain neutral, which will probably greatly surprise the old G. ”

Guangguang said: "Your consciousness is saying that the old G's trip to Eledege was actually to lure the snake out of the hole?"

I shook my head: "Eledeger's trip should be a real thing, but luring the snake out of the hole is an unexpected new addition, I guess the old G suddenly got the news that someone was trying to besiege him, so he made a plan to make arrangements." As for how effective it is, that's not something we're going to think about now. By the way, how much dry food do you have in your pocket?"

Guangguang looked at his pocket and said, "Two pieces of bread, a piece of cheese, and a sausage." ”

I froze, stared at him and said, "Are you kidding, you're just going to bring this thing out?

Guangguang said: "How do I know this, I thought you would go back if you walked around, who knew you were going to go so far?

I scratched my head and looked into my pocket, which wasn't enough to support two people to Uxhall.

I said, "Otherwise, you go back first, and I'll go to Uxhall myself." ”

Guangguang said: "Are you going to get rid of me, I tell you, it's impossible, since I have decided to follow you, you can't leave me behind." ”

I frowned and said, "You decided to follow me, in what capacity, as a subordinate, or as a partner, or as a watcher?"

Guangguang smiled: "No matter what identity, I always came out because of you, you can't be irresponsible." ”

I was about to speak, when suddenly a scarred black horse ran over the path in the woods in front of me, the knight on the horse was wearing tungsten steel chain mail, but there were two crossbow arrows stuck in his chest, the blood was dry, and he had been dead for a long time, and the corpse was still clinging to the black horse's neck. When the horse ran in front of us, it suddenly could no longer hold it up, and fell to the ground foaming at the foam, its legs and feet twitching, and it could not get up again.

"Dark Hunter?" I looked at from afar, and said, "This is our cavalry, the scout cavalry under Vicente. ”

Guangguang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly roared: "Damn, you really said it, this is a trap!" He stepped forward, broke open the rider's body, and carefully examined the wound. After a few glances, he sighed: "Strange, judging from the wounds, these should be caused by our Rhodok's phalanx big guns, these are caused by Sergeant Rodok's big knife, these ...... Uh, this is the arrow of the siege crossbow, the siege crossbow is only equipped with a few elite legions and palace guards, if the old G did it, where did he get the siege crossbow?"

I thought about it and said, "You haven't heard of the scandal about Lao G?"

Guangguang said: "You mean about Princess Illya? No way, at the end of last year, she was dismissed from her position as the chief of the palace guard and sent to Viruga for a long vacation, and she could not have command of the army. ”

I said, "It should be that there are people within you Rhodoc who are friendly with Old G, good enough to sneak into the territory of the Svadia Empire and kill people for him." In this way, the power of Lao G is far more than what we know on the surface. ”

Guangguang touched his bald head and said, "You don't really plan to help the Dark Order deal with Old G, I don't think you look like those guys at all." ”

I frowned and said, "There are no absolute allies at any time, and it is better to analyze everyone as imaginary enemies than to be at a loss when things come to an end." ”

I looked silently to the north and said, "If nothing else, the Fourteenth Brigade at the northern end of the Eldeigar Valley should have been attacked by now, and I hope they will have fewer casualties." ”

Guangguang pursed his lips and did not speak.

We continued to walk south, still very slowly, and in the process, wounded horses kept running past us, sometimes black horses, sometimes chestnut hunting horses, I know that the black horses are the mounts of the Dark Order, and as for the chestnut hunting horses, they are somewhat like the configuration of the Swadia Empire's light cavalry.

Guangguang was a little apprehensive and said, "It's good that I chased you out, otherwise who knows if someone would have died in the line of duty now." ”

I suddenly asked for no reason: "Guangguang, if I want to recruit you, leave your current organization, do things for me, and buy my life, are you willing?"

Guangguang was blinded by this sudden question, he touched his bald head and said, "You mean, you want to set up your own mountain, and you want me to recruit me as your little brother?"

I nodded.

Guangguang laughed, as if he had heard something very funny, he leaned back and laughed, beat his chest with laughter, and finally eased up, he said: "You are crazy, no matter what you want to do, now you are just a lonely person, no money, no soldiers, and no fame, except for the value of intelligence, the only thing you can attract is your million-dollar head, you want to stand on your own and get out of the Dark Order?" Besides, I'm now an upright intelligence officer of the National Intelligence Agency, with a high salary, and a country behind me. Rather than take refuge in you, I think it's more promising to join the Dark Order. ”

I smiled wryly and said, "So, there is still no backer, and the name is not justified." This is actually a paradox, if no one defects, the scale cannot be developed, and without the scale, let alone the justifiable thing. It seems that in this world, it is still difficult to stand on its own. ”

Guangguang restrained his smile and said, "You're not kidding, you're really ready to set up your own door?

I said, "How can there be a great power behind me?"

Guangguang opened his mouth wide: "Then who are you working for?"

I looked at him, then at myself, and said, "For my own sake, is this unexpected?"

Guangguang's mouth opened, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it. I said, "Don't you remember, I just said, I have a dream......

Guangguang interrupted me angrily: "What are you kidding, those are just demagogic language, don't tell me that you have said too many times, you have been deceived by yourself, where in this world is there real equality and freedom? Serfs must be dependent on the lord of the manor, slaves must be attached to the nobility, soldiers must be attached to the chief, and the lord must be dependent on the king, this is an eternal truth, only in this way can the whole world be united, there can be order, and people will know how to walk and how to live." What kind of dream of yours is just a fool's dream!"

I met Guangguang's angry eyes and said slowly: "You say this, so angry, it's actually because you can't believe it, you don't have the courage, but deep down you are extremely yearning for such a world. I admit that such a world is a bit utopian, but it is not impossible, but it will have some impact on the interests of the nobles, as long as there is no resistance from the nobles, you will find that this dream world is so beautiful and noble, everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, there is no oppression, no killing, no damage and injustice, you will definitely love it. ”

Guangguang looked at me panting, and at the end he said, "Where did you get this terrible thought? Don't tell me that a Germanic man named Marx instilled it in you." ”

I smiled and shook my head, saying, "No, even if there is, it's been my Calradia." ”

Guangguang's expression changed extremely wonderfully, his cheeks twitched, the muscles in the corners of his eyes twitched, and finally, his lips trembled, and he spat out two words with difficulty:

"Huh. "The battle in the Al Deg Valley is over, and I have heard the general situation from the mouths of the sporadic defeated soldiers, and Wu Ke commanded all the men of the 1st Brigade to build up a rejection horse at the southern exit of the Al Deg Valley, and he still did not dare to rush into the valley rashly. Just when everyone was in a hurry to bury their horses, a team of unknown uniforms suddenly descended like divine soldiers, and appeared in the rear of Wuke, most of them were burly, carrying door-sized shields, and many of them were carrying powerful siege crossbows, probably more than two thousand in number. As soon as it appeared, it was caught off guard with a dense rain of arrows. The crossbow bolts fired from the powerful siege crossbow were enough to easily tear apart the human body and siblings, and the thin layer of leather armor under the gray cloak was not enough to resist at all, Wuke desperately organized a counterattack, concentrated all the cavalry, and finally completely collapsed in front of the wall-like oars and shields and the two-meter-four-five phalanx spears, and then, this inexplicable armed arm extended from the left and right wings to the hand-to-hand combat queue, and the sharp long-handled broadsword easily cut off the hands and feet of anyone who tried to resist. A squadron led by Wuke that attempted to seal off the mouth of the valley at the southern end of the Eldaige Valley was routed in just an hour. There was no trace of them, and the others fled all over the mountains.

Guangguang sighed: "This is obviously Rhodoc style. ”

I ignored him, and from the first glance I saw a familiar face in the black knight fleeing like a headless fly, and I remember that it was at the entrance of the village of Talbolia, and the scout captain who found me and brought me into the village, at this time he also had a crossbow bolt the thickness of a little finger through his shoulder, and there were three knife wounds on his body, and the tungsten steel chain mail was torn out of a shocking hole, and the black horse under his crotch was not seriously injured, and he walked and walked, saving horsepower. When he saw me, he finally relented, rolled his eyes, fainted, and fell off his horse.

Guangguang was a little excited, and said, "There is a horse that is still in good condition, so we don't have to walk." ”

I ignored him. I personally have a good impression of this cavalry commander. I dragged him into the dense forest beside the path, and let the light bandage his wounds and take out his crossbow arrows. Since Guangguang was Rhodok's agent, he still had a good way to deal with Rhodok's arrow wounds, so he first took out a palm-sized handsaw from under his cloak, carefully sawed off the crossbow shaft exposed outside his body, and then roasted it on the fire with a throwing knife, cut open the wound of the captain, and took out the cluster of arrows that were deep in the shoulder bone. Finally, sprinkle some yellow powder to stop the bleeding. After a while, this Wu Chang slowly woke up.

At the sight of me, the eight-foot man cried out like a child, and grabbed me by the shoulders as he cried: "Captain, captain! My brothers, my brothers! All of them are gone! In the blink of an eye, as soon as the crossbow arrows over there were fired, they fell down in a daze! Before we could rush in front of us, we were picked off by spears, and they didn't look at them!"

I patted the captain, and he cried in front of me for a while, and then fell into a deep sleep.
