Chapter 035

On the other side of the fire, Harris and Fatis sat together, and the Virgians watched as Lorna was talking to Jorm, and without saying a word, he pulled out the sweet potatoes from the ash heap, picked them up and took a bite with a frown.

"What, it's not delicious?" Fatis had just picked up the potatoes that he had eaten, and he couldn't help but be a little amused when he looked at Harris as picky eater as a nobleman.

Vigia shook his head, glanced at the middle-aged uncle beside him, and stretched out his hand to hint at the direction of the girl: "Did she care about others so much before?"

Fatis was stunned for a moment, looked at Lorna, and sighed:

"I don't know that at least for so long, in actual action, she has not given up and is still with someone in need"

Then, his face became stern, and he asked softly at Harris, who looked like a child, "Do you like her?"

"Me"

Harris took a few bites of the roasted sweet potato, felt it wasn't fully cooked, and threw it back into the fire, his head down, trying to avoid the topic, but he looked up several times to see that Fatis was still staring at him—he was waiting for his answer.

"I don't know"

The firewood crackled, and the Vigian watched the conversation between the girl and the young soldier across from him, whose face was tense at first, but now stretched out, and smiled unabashedly at his commander. He began to think back to all the things that had happened before, the morning after that night, Lorna had spoken to him in front of the window.

What kind of affection did she have for him?

The girl said that day was to make amends for the sins between the families. Maybe she's just trying to pull out a child trapped in a childhood nightmare. Among the women the Virginians had seen were those he had fallen in love with, and some had voluntarily climbed into his bed in order to cling to his power. Lorna also said that she would treat him as if she had slept with a bitch. But whenever he looked into those clear eyes, he would never allow himself to think so. Even if you fight for the reputation of the family, you must make up for it.

"Harespoye," Fatis's voice sounded faintly in his ears, "I don't care how many women you've played with before, but if you dare to trick her feelings with those tricks of yours"

Harris was slightly surprised, he didn't know why the middle-aged uncle cared so much about his almost young companion, and he saw his eyes, and the flames in them were almost equal to the dragon's fury.

"If that's the case, I'll kill you!"

Alleyne, Jamila, Arteman, and several Vecchian knights cautiously navigated the slopes, the one at the front holding a large flag. Indicate the identity of one's envoy in Kujit. Feeling surrounded by nomadic cavalry all the way, Alleyne kept his horse as close to Jamila as he could, though she was clamoring to follow. But as a man, not getting a woman hurt is definitely the number one priority.

Suddenly, the knight in front waved his hand to signal the team to stop, and Arteman and the others saw a large group of Kugit cavalry in front of them through the snow and mist. Although the dress varies. But there are also people with excellent armor. In particular, the scale armor in the front row is almost all color, and the spear in his hand looks like standard equipment at a glance.

“@#¥%............&&&***”

Someone in the crowd shouted at them, but Alleyn didn't understand a word of the local dialect of Kujit, he pinched his horse's belly slightly, walked to the front of the group, and said in the official language of Kugit:

"We are emissaries sent by the King of Vekia to bring the advice of your Khan. We are here for peace. ”

"There's a group of Virgians south of Fesdena, are they your companions?" A burly man appeared among the nomadic cavalry, bald with a long braid. It was Besture who had met with Lorna before.

Alleyne was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then glanced at Jamila behind him, thinking that something was wrong, so he hurriedly asked him, "What happened to them?"

"Since you have come for peace, then go to our tent first, and then speak after seeing me and our chief. ”

At the same time, several sentries who had been sent out to spy on the movements of the Kugits returned from Fesdena, and Lorna, knowing that a large number of nomadic cavalry had withdrawn from the village, knew that Ellen had brought in a rescue force from the Živa, and immediately ordered all the soldiers to extinguish the campfires, and drove to the rear of the enemy army in armor, intending to flank the reinforcements in front and rear and annihilate the horse thieves in one fell swoop

"Will this work?"

"As long as Fesdena first commanded their leaders and forced them to surrender, I have never missed such a plan. In the face of Fatis's concerns, Lorna appeared confident.

After the three hundred Vekia soldiers learned about the current situation one after another, they also became energetic one by one, and with the fact that the commander was so confident, there was no longer any need to worry. Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, he braved the wind and snow to touch all the way, and did not encounter a single scout cavalry on the way, which shows that Bestur did not report the situation here to his leader before.

"Very well, let's start the battle!"

Fisdener's bonfire was already lit up ahead.

Dozens of archers crawled to the tent under the cover of the bushes, the strings of the warbows were slowly pulled apart, and the tips of the cone-headed arrows and barbed arrows were aimed at all the Kujit in the field of vision, breaking through the air

"Huh?!"

Bestul, who was riding on his horse, suddenly felt something wrong, and the faint smell of burnt paste in his face made him instinctively feel that something was wrong. The Kujit warrior peeked at Alleyne and Artiman behind him, and their faces didn't show much goodness.

Other words

"Everyone hurry up, we're going to get back to Fesdena in an hour!" Besture flicked his whip, and the steppe horse under his crotch suddenly increased, and the cavalry around him were puzzled at first, and then rode after the leader without saying a word. Alleyne and the others felt a slight change in the situation, but they couldn't wait where they were right now, and more than a dozen horsemen followed closely behind the nomadic cavalry. Running in the direction of the village

By the time the Kujits guarding the village reacted and began to organize a defense, half of the tents had already burned, and the guards on the flanks had been shot down by bows and arrows, and most of the women and children who remained in Fesdena at this time were old and young, women and children, and Lorna and Fatis took control of the entire village without much effort, except for a few strong men and veterans who relied on the original fixed buildings to resist with bows. The women and children hiding in the tents were already under the guard of a dozen Nord warriors in Harespoye, and it was only a matter of time before they surrendered.

"Very well, let's go to the west to support Aren and them. Wipe out the remnants of their army with a flanking attack!" the girl wiped the blood from her sword and ordered the fatis to organize a group, thinking in her heart that as long as the reinforcements could come with about three hundred, she would bite the Kugit to the death. Hold yourself up until you outflank yourself from behind. Then the Moonblade Axe will become a nightmare for nomadic cavalrymen who have nowhere to escape.

"Report that the Kugit have appeared to the west of the camp!!"

For Fatis and Lorna, the bad news was an accident within an accident.

Could it be that Ellen only brought less than a hundred people to save them? The girl felt anxious in her heart, she naturally did not know that she had already come over with the sincerity of peace, the girl turned her face to look at the camp not far away, the man who looked like the leader of the other tribe was sturdily tied to the wooden pillar in the center, which would be the most advantageous bargaining chip for her to face the replay of the nomadic army next.

"Defend against the terrain!"

The Vekia soldiers, who had previously looked euphoric, were now overshadowed by frustration and fear, but they had to move around according to the instructions of the veterans, inspired by the commander's orders and survival instincts. The rear flanking turned into a defensive battle. In fact, Lorna is still a little lucky at the moment, in case the other party comes back a little late. He had already led the team out of the village, and it would be a nightmare to encounter the nomadic cavalry in the field

"What to do, is the leader going to rush in to rescue the leader?"

Looking at the skyrocketing fire in the village, all the cavalry present swept their angry eyes towards Alleyne and the others, and several officers almost drew their sabers on the spot to hack the dozen or so people, but Besture stopped them, and the adjutant beside him felt a little worried, and asked the leader of the team in a low voice what to do.

"Raise the banner of peace, we have a truce with the Virginians!"

Everyone, including Alleyne and the others, could not believe their ears, and some of the Kujit felt that this was a betrayal of the tribe and immediately announced that they would fight Bestur, but the arrogant steppe warriors did not heed this demand.

"We just need to go in now, and we can suppress them at any time, regardless of the number of people. ”

Arteman and Ellen also felt that the man in front of them was not as rude and unreasonable as ordinary nomads. Only Jamila was restless at the strange Kujit whisper in her ear, but it also made it impossible for her to know what was going on, otherwise she would probably have fainted from nervousness by now

A number of burnt tents and wooden pillars of houses were piled up in the streets of the village, and behind the improvised barricades, dozens of archers drew arrows, ready to open fire on the incoming nomadic cavalry. Fatis took refuge with a hundred infantry on the side of the house in the rear, while Lorna stayed with the archers and personally commanded the first-hand battle.

"Sir, the vanguard of the Kugit has raised the banner of peace. ”

"Send the order, keep everyone ready for battle, transfer twenty men to follow me, and hand over command here to Lord Fatis. The girl calmly straightened her collar and walked out into the middle of the street with a guard of twenty men, and Bestul's cavalry brigade approached, followed by Alleyne and Jamila and dozens of Vecchian cavalry. Both army commanders looked at their opponents with stern gazes.

"King Lona Yarogrk has agreed to accept the Kugit exiles in the eastern part of the kingdom, and we have come to declare a truce," said Ellen with joy when he saw that the girl was okay.

"Shut up!"

The words popped out of the mouths of both the maiden and Bestur at the same time.

If that is the same thing, then Kugit seems to be a little more beautiful than Wiki.

The Kugit looked at the burned tent, glanced fiercely at the girl in front of him, and drew his waist knife.

Lorna quickly raised the long sword in her hand and did not flinch, and the shooter behind her got up according to the instructions, and aimed his bow and arrow at the enemy general in the front row.

The two sides confronted each other, and there was a howling cold wind that lifted the hem of everyone's clothes. (To be continued......)
