Chapter 003: Whose Reinforcements
The torch in Lawrence's hand faded, and next to a small town in a foreign land, three men sat around before dawn, sharing a bottle of Lawrence's private wine. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Ahh Kenny turned to Aiden and asked, "You just introduced yourself as a forester in the northern part of the Side Mountains, did you shoot the wolf in the eye when I was attacked by wolves?"
"Yes, my lord. ā
"Why don't you show up?"
"Hmm..."
"It's inconvenient for you to say it, forget it, no matter how you say it, you saved me, count me as owing you my life. Your archery is really good, you just shot Marcy in the ear, at least two hundred paces away, and the fire is still so faint. ā
"Compared to your command of the Alliance Army, this is just a small skill of carving insects, my lord. ā
"Hahaha! Aiden, I don't think we need to flatter each other like that. By the way, if you're interested, how about joining us? But our destination is outside of China, and we're going to cross the North City Bridge. ā
"That kind of place of death and life, you better not take me with you, compared to going abroad, the north of Side is more suitable for me, I think you are safe for the time being, I will continue to guard the Side Mountains, which is my home. ā
Aiden turned to leave, and before Kenny could think of a goodbye word, Aiden's back had disappeared into the night.
Kenny looked at Aiden's back and turned to Lawrence and said, "Then finish what you didn't say." ā
"Yes, when we felt that we could not get out of the sour water forest, the guards and I saw that an old woman who was over half a hundred years old was able to walk in the sour water swamp unharmed. I sent soldiers to capture her, and learned that she was a dark magic wizard, and she fled to seclusion in the sour forest. ā
"In the early days of the Marshall family's rule, the dark magic wizard was originally an awesome profession, until after that incident, King Martin's law expelled the dark magic wizards, and all the dark magic wizards in the territory became street rats overnight, everyone shouted and beaten, many dark magic wizards were expelled from the country, and more were dragged to Eden Square and burned alive on trumped-up charges, and the dark magic wizard we caught escaped to the sour water forest at that time. ā
"With the help of that dark magic wizard, we finally crossed the sour water forest, and I led the legion all the way north to follow your footsteps, and on the way we encountered two enemy attacks, but luckily we caught up with you without any danger, by the way, what about Nina?"
"I handed her over to Marven, and she fled with my guards to the red oak to the west. ā
"What?! Not good, lord, please give the order to set off quickly, they are in danger, I will explain to you on the way. ā
Lawrence's words shocked Kenny, and Kenny panicked and ordered the whole army to set off for a quick march towards the Red Oak Forest.
The two galloped at the front of the line, "Lord, when I followed your footsteps to the northern part of the Side Mountains, I was encircled by the Peace Army for the second time, but strangely they surrounded us, storming our line again and again, and three days later, in the evening, when they were about to break through our last line of defense, they suddenly retreated. I suspect they must have received more important orders, and you are the only one who is more important to him at the moment besides us. But at that time there were more than 10,000 troops encircling and suppressing us in the north, and just now Marcy only brought 3,000 men, so the rest. ā
"Okay, I get Lawrence. Kenny shook the reins hard, he needed to be faster, faster.
Kenny and Lawrence marched thirty miles west with a force of five thousand, and the smoke of gunpowder not far away caused Kenny to hold on to the reins. They dismount and watch, and what they see is the Union Army's Cross Banner, the blue and red cross flag burning in the smoke of the battlefield, as if to burn Kenny's last hope for his wife.
"What the hell is going on here. Kenny looked at Lawrence in alarm.
"Lord, please don't think things so badly, although there is a fight here, but judging from the armor of the soldiers who died on the battlefield, the casualties of the Alliance Army and the Peace Army are almost the same, just now you said that your Guards only have more than 80 people left, it is impossible for them to resist so many Peace Army, judging from the battlefield situation, this should be a clash of no less than 2,000 people, and the Alliance Army that died here is more than 80 people, so they must be fine. ā
"You're right about Lawrence, I'm too anxious, and because it's about Nina's comfort, we continue to chase them along the edge of the Red Oak Grove. Lawrence, I wish you had been there to support them last night instead of me. But I really can't think of any other reinforcements besides you?"
"Mike?" "Mike?" Kenny and Lawrence said almost at the same time.
At the same time, on the other side of the battlefield.
"Duke Mike, if you hadn't arrived in time, Madame and the refugees might not have seen the snow in the Red Oak Forest, oh yes, and such delicious bread. Marven took a sip of mare's milk wine, burped contentedly, touched his stomach and continued, "Duke Mike, how did you intercept your pursuers in the middle of the Side Mountains and then break out." ā
"After separating from you that day, I took the cavalry regiment to intercept the pursuing soldiers, so that the soldiers who were pursuing me..."
"Whoosh!"
A Confederate bow and arrow pierced Marven's head, and the cold arrow pierced the back of Marven's head and right eye in front of Mike and Nina, and Marven fell from his horse, clutching the uneaten half of the dry bread in his hand. Wine bags were scattered around the corpses, and pure white mare's milk wine was dripping out, and it looked particularly bloody mixed with blood.
"Ahh
Nina screamed, and the frightened horse began to gallop, and one of the guards held the reins tightly and helped Nina off the horse.
"All the guards are moving closer to Madame! Hurry! Protect Madame!"
The six nearest guards quickly approached Nina after receiving the order, and they formed a circle in tacit understanding, with their shields raised in their left hands and their swords in their right hands in a combat stance. Standing still, Mike drew his bear-headed gold-handled sword at his waist and pointed at a guard with a bow and arrow hiding behind a haystack in the distance, "Bring him here!"
Two guards brought the archers from behind the haystack, and the archer was pressed by the guards' hands behind his back, and he could not raise his head as he knelt on the ground.
"Soldier, who sent you, why did you shoot Lord Kenny's own soldiers?Or are your archery too poor and your target is the queen?
"No, Duke Mike, please, it's not me, it's really not me, no one sent me, I didn't shoot that arrow, it's really not me!" the frightened archer knelt on the ground and trembled, he was so pressed by the guards that he could barely see the iron horse's hooves under Duke Mike's crotch, and he shook his head frantically as he spoke, as if none of this was really his doing.
