Chapter 002: Fort Reddy

One month later, our army left Fort Redion and began to advance towards Vecchia. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

It was my first time in the eastern snowfields of Vekia: white bears roamed the snowy fields, squirrels carrying pine cones often jumped down from the tall pine forests, snow hare hid in snow caves, and some daring rabbits crawled out of their burrows in search of food in the mornings after the snow. Everything is so new and interesting, it's a pity that I don't have time to appreciate it, our task is to fight.

"What the hell is the weather, hmm... I'm cold. A cavalryman said.

"Let's go back, we've been inspecting for a morning, but we haven't found anything. Thomson said.

I rubbed my palm, which was almost numb, "Wait, I always feel something unusual around here." ”

Thomson sighed, reluctantly urging the horse onwards.

"Sasa..."

"What's the sound?" I immediately drew my sword.

"Sasa~" turned out to be a rabbit.

"Whew~ I thought there was an ambush..."Thomson was nervous for a long time, saw that it was a rabbit, breathed a sigh of relief, and put the two-handed sword back on his back.

"Shhhh

"Don't move, everyone, go check the situation!"

The cavalry I assigned cautiously approached the bushes. I gritted my teeth and broke out in a cold sweat. Ten minutes passed, and the cavalry was very close to the bush, but there was no movement. I began to doubt my own judgment and waved my hand to let the cavalryman come back.

The cavalryman breathed a sigh of relief and began to walk back. Suddenly, with a whoosh, the cavalryman was planted in the snow, and a feather arrow was stuck in his head, which was already difficult for the gods to save.

I shouted, "There is an ambush!" and commanded the cavalry to retreat. A dozen robbers in animal skins emerged from the bushes on the other side. A man of the rank of leader walked over, and behind him stood a dozen bandits with their bows ready to shoot. The man grinned and said, "Leave the dinar on you, and then get out of me!"

I looked behind me, and this time I only had seven heavy cavalry (including Thomson), and there were only seven of us on our side, including me and those who had just been shot. I counted them slightly, and there were 16 people on the other side. The chances of a head-to-head victory are slim to none, so you can only go around in circles with them.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, and I smiled at the leader: "Big brother, we are just a cavalry team that came out to patrol, and we don't have any money with us, so let me go." "Fart, I don't believe you earls won't come out with money!" the robber leader drew a single knife stained with blood and slung it to my neck.

I broke out in a cold sweat on my back, gritted my teeth, and continued: "Big brother, otherwise, I will send someone to get the money, and you will take me hostage, how about it?"

"The kid is quite familiar, you, follow him to get the money!" The leader pointed to a subordinate brother and asked him to go with Thomson to get the money, "Don't play any tricks, Lao Tzu has more than 60 brothers under him, I can slaughter you one by one!"

I gasped, but quickly calmed down and nodded to Thomson. Thomson understood, nodded to me, and made a "please" gesture to the little brother. The two walked towards the base camp to the west.

Why hasn't that big man come yet!?" the leader had been waiting for three hours, a little impatient, and yelled at me.

"Soon, soon, sir. I continued to laugh.

"Fuck you! Don't wait! Fuck them out for me!" the leader waved his hand and motioned for the younger brothers behind him to shoot arrows.

"Whoosh..."There was a sound of feathered arrows, but I found that I was not dead, but the younger brother behind the leader was mostly dead and wounded, and the blood stained the white snow under me. The leader was hit by an arrow in the knee and fell to his knees groaning.

I flew on my horse, grabbed the leader alive with my right hand, and my men quickly bound him. Seeing this, the other robber, who was not dead, whistled and fled, falling to the ground with an arrow. After a short time, another group of snowy robbers came out of the dense forest, all holding long or short bows in their hands and carrying quivers on their backs, more than 40 people. One of the robbers came out of the crowd, pointed at me and said, "You put Buck down for me!"

"He?" I pointed to the tied leader, "I can't let the tiger go." ”

The little leader was so anxious that I said, "Don't curse, or I'll kill him at once!" Thomson grinned and walked behind Buck, raised his two-handed sword, and made a gesture of stabbing. The little leader immediately stopped talking.

"We make a deal. I said slowly, "I'll let your leader go back, and you'll help us scout the various roads in Vekia, what do you think?"

Alright, but you'll have to let our leader back first!" the little leader nodded hurriedly. Barker's face flushed, and if he hadn't kept his mouth shut, he probably would have to pop out a lot of foul language.

"Okay, but you can't be discredited. I nodded at Thomson. Thomson took the rope behind Buck in his hand (usually when tying up some important captives, the rope should be left for exchange), tore the cloth from his mouth, and Buck stood up with a flushed face and walked towards his side. Just in case, I called an archer to stand behind Buck, ready to shoot and prevent him from slicing the rope and escaping when he got back to the group.

When Buck returned to the group, he slowly retreated into the forest, hindered by the archers on our side, not daring to move, though I didn't expect them to get me information.

Hehe, good job, lad. It's a shame to let the famous "snow leopard" in this area obey you. Chief Knight Hansen (aka White Shadow Knight) patted me on the shoulder and laughed.

"Thanks for the compliment. I bowed with a smile on my face.

"Don't be so polite, I don't like it! Show your arrogance, haha. Hansen still laughed, what a hearty knight.

"William, go get my red wine, I'm going to treat this cavalry captain well. "Hansen called a thin man in heraldic armor, who was naturally not of low rank, but was called to do such an errand. I couldn't help but frown.

"Yes, sir. William smiled, but I could see a kind of resentment in his eyes. Hansen didn't seem to notice, and was turning to talk to Adelaide, the head of the Knights, with an uncontrollable excitement on his face. I seemed to faintly hear the regimental commander talking about me and William, but I couldn't hear what he was saying. At night

I'm drinking with Knight Chief Hansen and Knight Master Adelaide at the oak table in the dining room. I shook the sour and slightly sweet delicacy in my glass, illuminated by an oil lamp, and drank it in one gulp. The knight drank a good amount of wine, and dried up a bottle, and his face was only slightly red. The head of the knight was evidently undrunk, and the tall bearded man had fallen asleep on the oak table. I've never drunk wine, but it's a small thing to me, and I looked at the snoring Adelaide, laughed at the knight, and began to drink again.

I don't know how long it was, but William knocked on the door, walked in with a smile, and whispered a few words to Hansen. Hansen nodded, and William walked over to me.

I looked at him strangely, and he whispered in my ear again, "My lord, the 'snow leopard' is looking for you." "I didn't expect him to be a trustworthy person. I smiled and walked out of the restaurant under William's lead.

......

Buck, whose knees were clearly not good, limped over to me and handed me a piece of parchment with drawings of Vekia's terrain, defensive lines, and troop deployments.

"Haha, you actually sent it to me. I half-jokingly patted him on the shoulder.

"Snow Leopard, although I have done some shady things, I will definitely do it. Buck's face was awe-inspiring.

"Good man, I thought you would never come back. Thank you, we need this so much. I put away my joking face and said seriously.

"Actually, I mainly want you to defeat Vikia. You've been exploited by them for too long, otherwise I wouldn't have such a large army. ”

"Well, we'll beat them. Take care. ”

"Take care. ”

With the help of his men, Buck limped on his horse and walked slowly towards the moonlight. "How did you get this?" asked the Earl, curiously.

"Oh... This is the only condition I have to ask my subordinates to exchange for the 'Snow Leopard' after I capture it. ”

"Snow Leopard?" said the Earl, who was the leader of the Snow Bandits, the Snow Leopard?" the Count was even more surprised.

"Yes, sir. I nodded.

"Haha, with this marshal, you will be able to lead our Svadia soldiers to the Yellow Dragon! You have done a good job, soldier. The Count jumped up from his seat excitedly, with irrepressible joy on his face.

......

Buck was indeed a trustworthy man, and the number of defending soldiers in each place and the position of the lord were all clear. With this map, the marshal can be said to be like a treasure, leading the army to point to the east and west, one by one. And I was promoted again, and the Earl was so pleased that he put me in command of an elite cavalry force of 500 men. Even Thomson took my place as the captain of the cavalry detachment. Bob was not convinced, and wandered around the snowfields of Vekia all day, and actually caught a Vekia lord who was escaping, and made a great contribution, becoming the captain of the infantry team of 300 people. I'm chasing down an escaped lord with my men, who is so attentive that his footprints have been wiped clean. Luckily, Thomson had hunted and found some broken branches, and we pursued them slowly.

"This stinky guy is running so fast... "This way, brothers!" cried Thomson, "the damned Earl, who has made us do such a chore, and clearly looks down on me," Thomson muttered to himself.

"Hehe, if you find that boye, you're the first to go. I rode up and smiled and patted him on the broad shoulder. "Maybe. He smiled wryly, "This way!"

I also smiled bitterly, looking at the corpses all over the snowfield, and couldn't help but think: When will this hard day be the end? It is good for both sides not to fight, and we can also go home and reunite... I don't know about Irene... Just as I was sighing and sad, there was a rapid sound of "squeaking" snow stomping, and I was startled, and when I looked up, there was a burst of snow rolling up not far ahead. As soon as I thought of this, I immediately shouted, "Get on the horse!" I was stunned for two or three seconds, and then I suddenly woke up and got on the horse. And I had already rushed to that snow.

My horse, a gift from the Earl, was one of the best in a thousand miles, and as I galloped I had gradually pursued it, and I saw a man in heraldic armor, which confirmed my judgment even more. The man seemed to sense my presence, turned his head to look at me in horror, and kicked the horse's belly hard, and the horse was panting for breath in his crotch, apparently exhausted. Because of the horse's speed, I had to hug the horse's neck and quietly draw my sword with my right hand. As the two horses approached side by side, the face of the Boyer became clear, but the face froze me: slightly fat, with receding jaws, wrinkled, pale hair, and frightened the old face.

"Gangde !!" I called out his name accurately, staring at him angrily

The Gangdeboye, too, seemed to recognize me, and screamed in greater fear, kicking the horse's belly and tumbling, and the horse began to run uneventfully. I watched him slowly distance himself from me, and a smug smile appeared on his face, which seemed so dirty to me. "Damn!" I shouted, using the method Thomson had taught me, and with a wave of my right hand, the sword in my hand swirled swiftly towards Gondeboye. He didn't expect me to do this, and when he was dazzled, the long sword had already cut the horse's leg, and Gonde was planted in the snow, moaning.

Jumping off the horse, I was carried away by the anger and grabbed him fiercely, and immediately slapped him a few times, and the sound of "snapping" gave me a kind of revenge pleasure. Gangde was beaten out of his nose by me, and was looking at me with a begging look, and I denied him with another look. A kick kicked him out of the air, and Gangde clutched his stomach and screamed, and some blood stains faintly appeared on the snow.

"You old fellow, why did you kidnap Erin!!!!!" I cried out in the snow as I pulled out my sword against his fat neck.

He coughed a few times, but spat out a mouthful of blood, unable to speak. This old guy can't help but fight. I muttered, grabbed him again, and threw him on his knees a few times in a row, and the guy fainted.

"You are indeed my most powerful confidant, say, what do you want?" said the Earl, smiling at me.

"The food of the king, the matter of loyalty. I just hope I can let him deal with me. "I bowed to the Count with a knightly salute, but I felt that I could hardly hide the anger on my face.

"Haha... It's weird... Okay, I'll leave this old pig to you. The Count threw me the prison key, waved his hand, and motioned for me to go out.

"Yes, my lord. "I exited the tent and walked towards the makeshift wooden prison north of the barracks, and I could feel my hands shaking.

"Open the door, I'm going in. ”

"Please hand over the keys. The prison guard looked at me with a blank expression and formulaic expression.

I threw the key to him, and he immediately changed his face and hurriedly opened the prison door.

I pushed open the prison door and walked slowly into the simple, smelly cage. A few flies flew over my head, and I waved my hand in disgust to chase them away.

The prison was littered with Wekian prisoners who had not had time to escape during the war, some of whom had not been treated, and their wounds had rotted and maggots, emitting a foul smell. I looked around, and most of them were young men, glazed over, and obviously had lost hope of life, but I had no mercy, for my target was an old man lying in the deepest part of the prison.

Stepping over the dying Virgians, I finally saw Gondeboye in the dim glow of the oil lamp. I took a deep breath and walked briskly towards him.

I coughed lightly twice, and Gonde, who had fallen asleep on the straw pile, was awakened by me. He rubbed his scarred face and barely opened his eyes. I kicked him and he came to his senses.

"You are. He said weakly.

"It's me!!" I shouted, the walls echoing, Gonder visibly frightened, but he knew who was standing in front of him now.

"It turned out to be you little hairy boy, let's say, what are you doing here?" Gangde still had a noble arrogance. I suppressed my anger and asked, "Do you know my father's whereabouts?"

After hearing this, Gangde laughed and said, "Hahaha... You ask the bastard. I don't know!" he looked at me defiantly.

"Damn!" I clenched my fists, and the sound of "Kara Kala" was incessant, ready to strike at any time, as long as he said again, "You must have done it!"

"Haha, in that case, then I'll tell youβ€”he's long dead, dead at my hands!" cried Gonde in a frenzy.
