The official road leading to the Covinde Territory was full of fleeing migrants, and the news of the appearance of orcs in those villages along the Sushui River had spread in other villages, and they no longer ignored the lord's announcement, and immediately packed up and set off towards the Covinde Territory.

It can be seen from the confused eyes of these people that they have no confidence in the future.

When a puff of smoke rose in the sky, Al knew that Eric had succeeded, but he didn't know what about his friend, and the orc was always in his mind swinging his axe in anger!

He ordered the group to slow down and wait for his buddy.

But he didn't expect that his wait would completely change his fate.

An hour later, Eric caught up with Al on a pack horse that he didn't know where he had got, and the smell of blood on his body made Al a little uncomfortable.

However, there was also a female aristocratic general and his own soldiers, who called herself Rainer Kenner, the baron and captain of the guard of the Harrens Order.

The immigrants were apparently glad that the nobleman and his cavalry warriors had appeared, because it would give them a sense of security, so the passing immigrants saluted the Rainer and his party.

Eric's hands trembled slightly after the long-lost battle, and in order to hide his embarrassment, he pulled Al and explained, "It was the smoke that made this Baron Rainer decide to come over and see what was going on, we were fighting the orcs..."

Speaking of this, Eric was a little sad, he hadn't experienced such a thing for a long time, more than ten years of farm life had already made him prone to sentimentality, he looked at Al, "Most of your farm guards are dead, it's my fault, by the time I found the oil and rushed to the warehouse, the orcs had already taken over there, they captured the militia captain, that damn soft egg, he succumbed to the orc's axe, he led the way..."

"I'm sorry, Al, I only brought back two people, the other eight died because of my underestimates, they're still so young, I..."

"You've done a pretty good job, civilian!" Rena interrupted Eric's next words, and she took off her helmet to reveal the hideous scar on her face, "You're brave, but you're missing a bit of a brain. ”

Eric looked back and saw the scar on Renner's face, his brow furrowed slightly, he had a slight obsessive-compulsive disorder, he felt that the scar on Renner's face was as uncomfortable as falling into a mouse poop in pure white milk.

"Civilian, it's rude to stare at a lady like that. Rainer's icy tone brought Eric back to his senses.

"I'm very sorry!" Eric bowed, "and, dear baron, I'm not a commoner, I'm a knight, and I'm a full knight, and I've been baptized by a former king in the knight's hall of the royal capital!"

Rena was stunned and looked Eric up and down.

"Why didn't you see your heroic posture in battle on the line of the Byan Territory, my knight!" the soldiers behind Rena were obviously a little skeptical about Eric's identity, "I just saw a farmer, although you were brave in what you just did, but it is undeniable that you are a farmer!"

"You..."

"Baron Reyner!" was El's voice, who remembered Reyner's name, and interrupted Eric with a remark, "You should stop your soldiers' rude behavior, it's a terrible thing to insult a full-fledged knight!"

Rena shrugged indifferently, "He's just stating one thing, if you want to take this as an insult, I can't help it, and besides, this soldier of mine killed at least three orc warriors in the battle some time ago..."

"But you've lost Byan City!" Al replied.

"Byan City is not lost!" Rena looked at Al coldly, paused and asked, "Who are you, you know that interrupting a nobleman is also a very serious matter!"

"My name is Al Covance, if you know the history of the human kingdom, you must be familiar with the history of the Covance family, although I only have the title of baron now, you can't question my rights!" Al met Rainer's gaze.

There was a brief silence before Al spoke, followed by a burst of laughter, mocked by even the immigrants who watched from a distance.

One of the veterans laughed, "Look at what I saw, one claiming to be an official knight, the other claiming to be a descendant of the Covance family, but what I saw was just two farmers who escaped under a scout team of orcs!"

Rena smiled at the angry Eric and the suppressed Al who didn't stop her soldiers from laughing at her in the first place.

"I'm going to rush to the camp on the front line of the Sushui River, where there will be a big battle in a few days, and if you still have the slightest dignity of a nobleman, prove it to my soldiers. ”

"Good!" Eric agreed without thinking, but El couldn't stop him.

With that, Eric turned to look at his friend.

Al was silent in his friend's gaze for more than ten seconds, and finally sighed secretly, "If this is your ultimate goal, then, if you succeed, honorable baron, I will serve you, but only in this war, according to my identity I have the right to ask for a specific position!"

When Al said this, he didn't pay attention, and the old and old-fashioned butler behind him had a long-lost smile on his face.

"What position do you need?"

Al patted his already fat belly, "If you let me charge and kill the enemy, then it is better to kill me, if your logistics department is still short of people, I will be happy to serve!"

On a scorching summer day, Covind led a large army encamped along the riverside on the meadows of the Sailon Plain, next to the Sushui River. Their front-line guard towers had been repaired ten miles downstream, and the scouts had gone fifty miles away to reconnoiter the enemy, and the patrols in the camp never stopped.

On the official road at the back of the camp, laborers and farmers transported truckloads of supplies to the barracks, and the entire transportation team was even several times larger than the soldiers in the barracks.

Gray led his guards over his camp on a small col, and Baron Rainer, who had joined the troops only two hours earlier, led her new lieutenant to Gray's side.

"It seems that this will be an uphill battle, and this kind of terrain cannot be prevented even by relying on the Sushui River. Gray looked out at the endless Sushui River, the whip drawing in the void.

"We can't think about defense now, my lordship..."Reina's voice was still so good, her blonde hair was as beautiful as a golden thread in the breeze, "If we take the defense, the orcs will wake up laughing from sleep, and the 40,000 army behind them may break through the defense of Bien City at any time!"

Gray withdrew his gaze from the distance, he looked at Rainer, at the vassals who had followed him in the first place, and said, "Are you even questioning my courage?" ”
