Chapter 150 Cleared

When the squadron leader walked out of the little widow's cabin, it was already full of stars, and he slept with the little widow in his arms for a long time in the afternoon, and in the evening he was hooked into bed after enjoying the little widow's elaborate and loving feast, and it took a lot of energy to put the woman at the mercy of a little wild cat, and he was too tired to fall asleep again.

Stretching comfortably, the squadron leader looked left and right, and found that the guards who had been guarding the door were gone. After a long time, I remembered that it was probably in the afternoon that I told him to get out, but this bastard really got out of the way and went lazy.

"Don't let me find it, or I......'ll have to whip you a few times," the squadron leader muttered, looked around, and found that the small mountain village was particularly quiet tonight, and it was not strange that the villagers had always slept early, but the barracks were usually noisy until midnight, how could it be so quiet?

However, the squadron leader was relieved when he saw the longing figures standing guard and sentry sentry swaying back and forth in the distance, everything was normal, maybe he had overslept, and it should be about three or four o'clock in the middle of the night.

There was a faint smell of blood in the air, the squadron leader snorted, and wanted to curse, needless to say, those bastards must have beheaded those mercenaries who had been interrogated and smuggled in the open space of the village, so the smell of blood was so strong, damn it, couldn't you just walk a few more steps to the big tree outside the village and kill again?

There were more than a dozen tents in a corner of the village clearing, and the squadron leader remembered that it was the escort of the fallen viscount who was camping in the village. Seeing that the big tent in the middle is lit with candles, and there are still people coming in and out, it must be that a pharmacist has been invited from the city of Venades to treat it, or go over and see for yourself......

Before arriving at the camp, a guard came out of the camp and said very respectfully, "Mr. Captain, Lord Viscount, please come in......

The squadron leader was unimpressed, and asked as he walked towards the big tent: "Lord Viscount is awake, is he in good health, right?, if you can move, I think you should return to Venades City, which is more suitable for Lord Viscount to recuperate than this broken mountain village......"

The guard just replied with a "yes" and followed the squadron leader to the door of the big tent.

Lifting the curtain and entering the big tent, the squadron leader was stunned, he thought that he should be lying on the bed and was humming in pain, and the viscount was sitting opposite the big tent at this moment, smiling at him like a fox.

As soon as he turned his eyes, he saw two mercenaries sitting at the head of the viscount, with a large bowl of wine and a big gulp of meat, and the mercenary on the left was also taking off his leather armor while eating, and asked a guard behind him to give him medicine and bandage.

The two men are a little familiar...... The squadron leader's brain flashed, and he suddenly remembered that these two mercenaries who were smuggled out at noon were not they?

The squadron leader of "O" drew his sword, and the white sword flashed: "You guys...... Who are you..."

"Shut up, stay there, I'll ask you something. Lorlist's eyes flashed, as if the killing intent of the essence was moving, so that the squadron leader only felt numb in his hands and feet, and his heart was cold with despair, as if he had become an ant in front of a giant dragon, and he couldn't resist it......

"You go on, Reddy. Lorist turned to Reddy, who was eating heavily.

"My lord," Reddy swallowed the meat in his mouth, "Fat Shi is dying of sorrow, and everyone can't think of any good way." So I said I'd go back and ask you. Four days ago, he and Jim and ten guards had sneaked across Egret Lake and followed a path in the swamp by the lake to the jungle. Originally, yesterday you only had to steal a checkpoint over there to climb the mountain to the main road, and then you could buy a horse back to the Northland in Vannades City, but in the morning you would encounter a group of bandits hiding in the jungle, and as a result, the fight alarmed the patrolling soldiers. The bandits fled quickly, and we were surrounded and arrested......"

"If you're lucky, you'll just run into us, or your head would have hung on the tree over there. Lorist said and beckoned to the squadron leader: "You, come here." ”

The squadron leader held the sword and the whole person trembled: "You, aren't you afraid that my warning will alarm the soldiers in the barracks, and you won't be able to run away when the time comes......

"You can shout, shout a warning, as for the soldiers in the barracks, four hundred and twenty-seven, a squadron, isn't it? They have all been wiped off, if you can call them up again, I will worship you as the boss. Lorist said.

"Flutter" Reddy and Jim all laughed, especially Jim, who squirted out a mouthful of wine.

"No. it can't be ......" the squadron leader remembered the faint smell of blood in the air, and his heart sank. I thought that the beheaded man was sitting here drinking wine and eating meat, so who would be the one who died? As for the people he saw standing guard and patrolling, he only saw human figures, and thought of the Viscount's escort of nearly 100 people......

The saber in the hand of "Bang Dang" fell to the ground, and the squadron leader asked in despair, "Can I still survive?"

"It's up to you. Lorist looked at the squadron leader and said, "I'll tell you the truth, the convoy that was blocked on the border by your Grand Duke belongs to our family. My intention was to meet the convoy, so I wanted to get to Egret Lake via the trail at the fork in front. If you help me get to my destination, I can let you go, in the name of the family. ”

The squadron leader shook his head: "It's useless, even if you let me go, I won't be able to escape death, and if I lose a squadron, I'm already a capital offense, and the Grand Duke won't let me go, and he won't let my family go......"

"That's easy, you can cross the river with us, and when you get to the kingdom of Antinac, I'll give you a hundred gold merits, and you can change your name incognito and start a new life, and if you can't find it here, you will only think that you are missing or killed, so that the Grand Duke of Madras will not touch your family." Lorist persuaded.

The squadron leader thought for a long time before nodding and saying, "I'm going to take someone away." ”

Lorist smiled, "That little widow of yours?"

The squadron leader nodded again.

"I promise you, I can't imagine that your five big and three rough men are still amorous seeds, which is worthy of praise. I swear in the name of the Norton family that if you can help us cross Egret Lake, I promise you to do it. ”

......

At dawn, Lorist and the others wore the brown leather armor of the Duchy of Madras garrison to the checkpoint at the fork in the road, dismounted and stood in line.

The squad leader of the garrison at the checkpoint hurried over.

"Huh, Captain Both, why are you here too? And the changing of the guard is a little too early, isn't there still two days?" asked the team leader in surprise.

"Not to mention, these bastards scoured two women in the mountain village last night, and now there's a commotion over there. I secretly took them out under the pretext of patrolling, and threw them here first so as not to be found by the villagers. Hurry up and assemble and tell your soldiers that you will go back and don't say anything, just say that you are out on patrol instead of changing the guard. The squadron leader said helplessly.

"Understood. The captain of the squad rushed back and began to assemble the team, who wants to stay in this ghost place, there is no place to eat, drink and have fun, that group of bastards played with women and ran here to avoid trouble, others stayed for seven days They don't know how long they want to stay, they deserve it!

Soon, a squad of garrisons here at the checkpoint was gathered, and after finishing the queue and roll call, the squad leader ran back again: "Report to the captain, the seventh squad of the garrison has been assembled, and all one hundred and four people have arrived." ”

But I heard the squadron leader say, "My business is over." ”

What do you mean? The team leader didn't understand yet, but he heard a "put!"

Arrows rained down, and the unsuspecting garrison squad became the target of the arrows, and the miserable howls continued to sound.

"You ......" The team leader was shocked, only to feel a chill in his abdomen, and his body trembled in severe pain.

"I'm sorry, I'm also trying to survive, so I have to ......" The squadron leader's hideous face became the last impression in the squad leader's mind......

"Check it, make up for it. Drag the body over there and throw it into a ditch so that it is not discovered prematurely. Lorist ordered.

"The front patrol doesn't pass by until eight o'clock, and even if they find out, they have to go to the small mountain village to inform me, and it will take at least an hour or two to report the situation there. So we had a morning rush to go. It's just that at the intersection of the two paths at the front is a squadron of garrisons, who are responsible for patrolling the lake. I can help you open the camp gates, but then it's up to you. Also, you promised me not to let anyone find out about my whereabouts. The squadron leader said to Lorist with the map.

Lloris nodded: "Don't worry, I will wipe out all the garrisons who have seen you." ”

Taking the map handed over by the squadron leader, Lorist said to Pete and Pat: "Open the camp gate and immediately take the enemy by surprise, use the camp's wooden fence to transport it to the lake to make a wooden platoon, and set up a position on this hill between the camp and the lake to prevent the arrival of the pursuers." Alright, let's go. ”

......

It was already afternoon when they arrived at the camp where the garrison squadron was stationed, and the four garrisons guarding the camp gate knew the squadron leader, and when they saw the five big carriages following behind, they thought he was here to transport supplies and baggage, and opened the camp gate without informing, and then they were wiped by Reddy and others.

Pete and Pat led nearly a hundred archers to swarm in, occupying the open space in the middle of the camp and shooting arrows everywhere, shooting the garrisons who rushed to the ground one by one, and the sound of killing and screaming in the camp was intertwined.

For this squadron of garrisons encamped here, they were only responsible for patrolling the lake and the path leading to the fortress and castle of Liechdana, and only for those who crossed the border by smuggling across Egret Lake in violation of the Grand Duke's ban on passage, and they never dreamed of being attacked by force, and some of the garrisons did not understand what was happening before they died.

Lorist, with Jim and Reddy, and Prancing Horses on a rampage through the camp, spear after tent to avoid missing the hiding garrison.

As for the squadron leader and several squad leaders of the garrison in charge of this camp, they were nailed to the ground by the throwing guns thrown by Lorist as soon as they left the tent.

The camp was small and quickly searched and cleaned.

Pat walked over and reported with a very serious face: "My lord, the corpses of the garrisons in the camp are only three hundred and eight, and there is one less team. ”

Lorist raised his eyebrows and looked at Captain Both beside him.

The squadron leader thought for a while and said, "Maybe I'm going on patrol, but I don't know if I went to the lake or the path leading to the fortress over there..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard Jim beside him shout: "...... there"

Lorist turned his head to look, but saw the figure of a group of garrisons on the hill in the distance, walking here, probably condescendingly, seeing the corpses scattered all over the camp, he was momentarily alarmed, and stopped his tracks.

"Pete, take the archers and destroy them, and try not to let them escape. Lorist hurriedly ordered.

Pete whistled, and half of the archers followed him and rushed towards the hill.

"I'll go too. Jim took a few of his guards and chased after him.

"Alright, Reddy, Pat, let the horses pull up the wooden fences around the camp, we need to speed up. Lorist commanded the rest of the archers to tie the noose to the wooden fence, tie it to the back of several horses, and drive the horses forward to uproot the wooden fence.

"Wait, sir. Captain Both stepped forward and stopped Lorlist.

"Well, what's the matter?" asked Lorlist.

"My lord, the section of the wooden fence stuck in the ground is not necessary. The top is already half air-dry, and the wood in the ground below is still wet. If you throw such a piece of wood in the water, it will be heavy and light, and it will be difficult to balance. It's better to cut off the wood underneath, so that the raft can carry more weight......" The squadron leader quickly explained.

As soon as Lorist heard it, he understood, and he was as good as a stream: "Listen to him, cut off the lower part and don't." ”

"My lord, give me a sword, and I'll help too. Also, the wooden house used for the warehouse over there can also be dismantled to make a raft...... "said the squadron leader.

"Give him back his sword. Lorist said to Reddy.

Captain Both pulled out his sword, flashed his sword with fighting spirit, raised his sword and slashed at the wooden fence, one, two, three, and when the fourth wood was gone, the long sword was stuck in the middle of the wood.

"Yes, it's better to chop wood quickly with fighting spirit. Lorist said, "Pat, you have all the silver men come and cut the wood, and Reddy you will take someone to tear down the wooden house." ”

When it was almost time to dismantle, Jim and Pete returned.

"My lord, there are more than a dozen of them, and they are in the jungle and we can't chase them. Pete reported.

"What about the casualties?"

"There were no casualties, they fled when they saw us, they were all by the lake, there was no way to escape, those who jumped into the lake and swam were shot to death, that is, half of them fled into the swamp, and they fell into more than half of them, and we shot several to death, but the remaining dozen or so were lucky enough to run into the jungle, and we couldn't cross the swamp, so we could only watch them escape......"

"My lord," Captain Both came over with a sweat on his head, "it takes about an hour to ride horses from here to the fortress and castle in Liechida, and it takes two hours for the fleeing garrisons to run over, and it takes an hour for another army to come here, and we still have three hours." ”

"Very well, everyone, hurry up, tie the cut wood to the back of the horse and drag it to the lake, where the raft will be built, and Reddy and Jim will lead the people to search the camp, and the materials that can be built on the raft will not be left behind. Lorist clapped his hands a few times and shouted.

A total of five large rafts were built, and a carriage happened to be on a raft. All the mounts were unsaddled and driven into the water, along with a dozen horses captured by the garrison battalion.

More than 100 people were divided into five large rafts and propped up from the shore of the lake with poles, and slowly paddled towards the opposite side.

The sky had gradually darkened, and a faint white mist had risen on the surface of the lake in the twilight. Occasionally, a few horses can be heard nearby, and the quiet lake carries the sound of wooden paddles paddling across the water.

The distance between the two sides of the water surface of this section of Bailu Lake is about four or five hundred meters, which is a relatively narrow section, and it is not until the middle line of the lake that the sound of people shouting and neighing is faintly heard behind them.

That's slow enough, Lorist laughed. Soon we will be on the other side, and I will soon meet my teammates, and then it will be up to me to see how I take them home.
