This tragic scene made the people of Ryordian a little shaken, but even so, these soldiers who Harlaus trusted the most did not live up to the expectations of the lord, did not retreat, did not collapse, on the contrary, Mu and the Nords had been completely surrounded because of this charge.

Norton bowed, dodging a slash from his enemy, then lunged forward, shouldering the Raldian soldier to the ground. Norton picked up the axe from his waist and slashed into the skull of another unlucky man, while Mu, seeing the opportunity, also took a diagonal step and stabbed the saber into the eye socket of the soldier who had not had time to get up.

"Boss, what should I do?" Norton asked, kicking an enemy away.

"Insist," Mu replied, "Also, tell your people to stay away from the side of the ship." ”

"Coming?"

"It's coming. ”

Before Mu's words fell, a series of cracking sounds were heard in the distance, and a few silver lights suddenly flashed in the dark night, and at the same time, there was a roar mixed with screams from the side of the ship.

"It's coming. Mu wiped the blood from his face, and his voice was much more relaxed.

Who's coming? This kind of ship is a very distinctive type of Nord ship, and it is a special warship designed by the Nords for plunder. Its hull is medium, slightly smaller than the king's ship, but larger than the average longship, and it is equipped with one or two harpoon crossbows, which can be used for whaling in peacetime, and in wartime, the target ship can be pulled out of the tight protective formation by harpoons with thick ropes, which can be said to be a nightmare for maritime merchants.

Of course, this kind of ship is, after all, a medium-sized warship of the Nord ship series, and it is still too small for the Elis sailing ship to be shaken at all after anchoring, but what if there are ten, twenty? The battle on the deck was extremely fierce, and the Ryordians, who had been in the ascendancy, rushed to the side of the ship in a frenzy, intending to cut the rope tied to the harpoon, and the surrounded Nords were naturally uneven, and they also pounced quickly, and the Svadia soldiers were in a mess, and the wall of fire at the hatch was not extinguished for a long time, and the soldiers inside tried everything they could think of, but they could not stop the spread of the fire, and the support deck was lost, and the battle was even more stalemate. In this way, the royal ship of Haraus was dragged into the night, little by little.

Bang, a "torch", I don't know if it was because of the burning flames or the axe of the barbarians, finally could not withstand its own weight and collapsed.

The fierce battle eventually subsided, and Harlaus's die-hard loyalists lived up to the monarch's expectations, even when surrounded by an endless number of Nords, they were undaunted and fought to the death. Their bodies had been ruthlessly thrown into the sea by the Nords who had cleaned up the battlefield, and the blood stains had been cleaned, only the faint smell of blood still spoke of the heroism of the men of Ryerdian.

However, this is no longer important, the surviving killers don't care about this at all, but the belonging of the warship under their feet makes them care more.

"I'm not going to give in to that. On the cushion, Mu, who was only wearing a single coat, refused without hesitation, "It doesn't matter if there are other ships, but this one is absolutely not." ”

"Why?" said Skoll, his eyes wide, "how many vassals have we mobilized in order to take this ship, and how many people have died?

"How to explain to the clan is your business. Mu calmly stretched out his left hand and rested on the maid's lap, "The remuneration you deserve and the tasks that should be completed are clearly written in the agreement, and you have completed the task according to the agreement, then I will pay according to the agreement, and everything will be handled according to the rules, what else is there to say?"

"However, the agreement does not say that a royal ship will be captured!"

"You didn't do anything beyond the scope of the agreement, everything was done according to the plan that was agreed upon a long time ago, didn't you?" Mu retorted. Jamila turned a deaf ear to the arguments around her, carefully tending to the boss's sleeve near the arrow wound.

The gray-haired Alain crossed his arms and pointed sharply, "The original plan was to drag the king's ship, which was already on fire, out of the queue so that the soldiers on it would not reinforce the other ships. ”

The reason for the dispute between the parties is simple. Mu thinks that the Nords don't do much, so they shouldn't get paid more, and the Nords feel that since you have gained greater benefits, then we should also drink some soup.

"But, hey, hey, pain, hey!" Mu had just spoken, and Jamila grabbed the ends of her sleeve and pulled it hard, and the blood-stained silk robe burst out of the arrow that had been left in the wound, and at the same time brought a scream from its owner.

"Hiss~ In short," Mu said intermittently, but firmly, "This ship, hiss~ is of great significance... Please, tap, even if it sinks, it can't fall into someone else's hands. You ~hiss~ the other ship dragged out, please, but this one must belong to me, yo yo yo yo ~ at most your vassals will be counted as bereavement and compensation. ”

The five bigwigs, including Nordy, summed it up, and in the end, it was Skoll who replied on behalf of the others, "Okay, we'll reluctantly agree." Then, pointing to the bandages wrapped around his face, he teased, "You kid is also a master, just pull out an arrow, how can you smoke like a girl, and you can't even speak clearly?"

"Do you say it again? MD picked up the bargain and sold it. Mu scolded. Don't look at the scale of these five families, they are not as large as the "Tooth Hunters" back then, but they are all one of the best overlords, and there are more or less vassal tribes under them. In this battle, in order to deal with the powerful Swadia, each family naturally gathered their own little brothers, of course, it was these little brothers who suffered heavy casualties, and the losses of their respective families were negligible.

In short, Mu didn't think that these hateful Yar would give all the considerable amount of compensation he paid to their vassals. "Haha, if the boss were a little man, maybe I would let you come to my ship for the night. Of course, it's okay if you're willing to pay a little more. Sofina winked.

"Think beautifully!"

"By the way, there's one more thing. Alan who was standing on the side spoke again, "In the future battle, I hope Boss Mu will not participate, this is also what all of us mean." As soon as Alain finished speaking, the other Jarl nodded their heads.

"What?" Mu glared at these big guys, a little confused, shouldn't the Shangwunord people appreciate the people who can fight side by side with them more?

"Actually," Alain paused, and continued, "we're afraid you're dying there, and no one will pay." ”

Then, there was a silence, an awkward silence, and the Nords were genuine.

In the end, Mu Qing coughed twice to break the silence, and Jamila also bandaged the wound and quietly stepped aside.

"Let's not talk about this for now, let's talk about the following business. ”

"Well, that's right, making money is the big thing. Noddy also spoke up. Seeing this, the Yar naturally did not obsess over that awkward topic, and began to ask about the next task.

"Given the speed with which the news spreads, the news of the attack on Harlaus's fleet should not have gotten out by now. Mu Ban raised his face and said solemnly, "This means that at least two or three supply fleets are heading this way at sea right now. I don't need to say more about what to do next. "Businessman hehehe" this ticket, how much you earn depends on your speed. ”

With that, all the Yar laughed sinisterly together.

Then, with a wave of his hand, Jamila brought a tray with rolls of parchment and distributed it to the various bosses.

"This is a new quotation, and I am willing to buy the loot you have captured at this price, and I will receive as much as I want. Mu explained with a smile.

Noddy opened the paper, then frowned. The price of parchment paper is very low, and although it is not the price of collecting scrap, it is really limited.

The Yar also quickly discovered the problem, but considering the cooperative relationship between the two parties, it did not occur on the spot, but Alan asked, "Boss Mu, is this price a little unfair." ”

"No, no, no, Lord Alain. The merchant smiled slyly, "In the next raid, you will receive thousands of weapons, armor, and a scale far beyond what your tribe needs." You can sell the surplus armament to other merchants, but I am the only merchant who dares to pack a ticket, and I am willing and able to buy it without restrictions. ”

"Shall we sell it to someone else?" asked Skoll.

"No problem, you can go find the next house yourself. Mu shrugged his shoulders easily, "If you really can't find it, please don't forget that I'm here." ”

"Okay, we'll go and get ready. Skoll patted his chest and turned to leave the cabin, and the others followed.

Norton glanced at his brother's back, but stayed anyway, and asked, "Is it really okay to let them go like this?" ”

"Don't worry, there's nothing bad. Mu smiled, "Anyway, they'll sell it to me in the end." Oh, by the way, please take care of this ship for me," the merchant stepped on the deck, "The Ye River is too narrow, it doesn't seem to be easy to get into." ”

Norton was still a little confused, but nodded anyway and went back to his boat.

The mainland is still turbulent. Allen's little defender was no match for Harlaus's elite troops, so even with all his might, he still lost the city little by little. However, Aaron's lord, the veteran Rhodok veteran Getteras, was also a ruthless man, and seeing that the city was about to fall, he simply did nothing, burned all the resources in the castle's warehouse, and then fled with his cronies.

So, when Harlaus saw the smoky warehouse, his face turned black as ink, especially after the scout told him that the flotilla at the anchorage had been attacked. His troops could be said to have run out of ammunition and food after defeating Aaron, but the supply lines at sea could not be counted on, and the supplies in Aaron's city were also burned, so that he had to mobilize his soldiers to "hunt", fortunately, the villages around Aaron were still rich, otherwise, nearly a thousand of his soldiers would probably starve to death here. Therefore, if it were not for the so-called aristocratic cultivation, the familiar scene in the palace study would have been repeated in the strange land of Rhodok.

When the news reached Rhodock, King Griffos burst out laughing three times, and cried out in retribution. Harlaus's soldiers, though numerous, were alone, with no supplies and no backups, and sooner or later they would be crushed to death on Rhodok's territory. At the same time, the scouts of the southern front had discovered that the main forces of Salander had left Fort Garmicchi, but instead of advancing towards Djerkhala, they had bypassed the Rhodok mountains and advanced deeper into the mainland. Therefore, King Graves, who was relieved, personally led the main force of the Southern Army to return to the direction of Aaron, intending to make a break with the old opponent next door.

As for the Swadia side, this news was definitely like a bolt from the blue, and the troops attacking Viruga fought desperately for several days without losing money, hoping to quickly take the fortress and rescue His Majesty the King from deep enemy formation. However, the enemy was more resolute in his defense, and it was clear that the same news was obtained. So much so that the Svadia soldiers paid a huge number of casualties, but the fortress still stood.

When it rained overnight, the vanished Salander army suddenly appeared at Fort Gruenward, and engaged in a skirmish with the Craggs Ministry, who were not working under the city. However, Harungus soon received a letter from Kraggs, saying that the above-mentioned encounter with Salander's main army, fierce battles, heavy losses, retreat and other nonsense, and then, Kraggs's army withdrew all the way to Abbron.

At this point, however, Harungus only knew that Craggs had retreated, and that Fort Gruenwald was about to fall to the Salanders. Actually, Fort Gruenwald doesn't matter to Swadia, just send someone to watch and don't let the enemy forces inside move. However, the shameless old thief of Kraggs actually withdrew like this, leaving the back of the main Svadian army to the Salanders, which was not possible!However, the army attacking Viruga could not be weakened, so he could only order the Earl of Gruenward of Uxhall to rush to support.

Gruenward, who was guarding Uxhall, received the order and immediately began to deploy his troops. As one of the main forces of the lord faction, he naturally knew how grim the form was. It can be said that Haraus is the lifeblood of the lord faction, except for a few irons, the other lords almost follow him because of Harlaus's strength and interests. Once he has three strengths and two weaknesses, the lord faction is estimated to fall apart immediately. Coupled with the fact that Harlaus does not have an orthodox heir, when something really happens, eighty percent of them will cause a nationwide unrest because of the inheritance dispute, and the oil bottles of the royal power have been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.

However, there is one thing he is still not worried about, in order to have the strength to fight in the face of Salander's main army, most of the garrisons in the city have to be transferred, and the reinforcements from Aberon are estimated to be because of the Kugit attack, and they have not arrived for a long time, and the messengers sent have not returned, and the remaining little troops are used to guard the city wall, which is really difficult for some strong men. So, the Earl of Gruenward fell into a deep annoyance.

"My lord, I have an idea. Knight Dre stood straight in front of Gruenward and said proudly.

"Say it. ”

"We can use mercenaries outside the city. The knight straightened his chest and said, "The next batch of reinforcements should be on the way, so we just need to hire those mercenaries and hold on for a few days." It's just a few days, and when reinforcements arrive, they will be fired, and it shouldn't cost much. ”

"Makes sense. Gruenward nodded, "Have you considered the 'Bloodblade', they should have returned to Svadia long ago." Alleyne has the support of Rodon Ross behind him, and the mercenaries under the city can also be their reserve source. ”

"It's unlikely, my lord. The knight smiled and said, "Who would want to fight a city that no one has taken for hundreds of years? With the protection of the city walls, no matter how strong the 'Blood Front' and the remaining rabble are, they can't shake our defenses. ”

"Well, that makes sense. The Count nodded with satisfaction, and said earnestly, "Then Uxhall will leave it to you, and when the war is over, I think there will be no problem with the title of a baron." ”

The knight was overjoyed and bowed deeply, "Don't worry, my lord. ”

。。。

Somewhere in the White Pine Forest, a group of Kugits led their horses to another group of soldiers in blood-dripping sword robes.

"Good work, Ms. Bethel. The leading knight greeted.

"Tell your boss that you're not dishonored. The Kugit woman at the front of the queue replied, "None of the messengers made it to Uxhall alive, and they don't know what happened to Eberon now." ”

"Thank you, your help is so important. The knight bowed.

"I'm also for the hostess. Beti'er said lightly, but suddenly smiled again, "Plus I have a good relationship with that kid." ”
