CHAPTER XXI
The owner of the wooden house is a family of four, and the elderly woman has difficulty moving, so in order to make room for the military master, she has to shrink on a small wooden bench in the corner of the hall. The hostess www.biquge.info was busy serving tea and pouring water, and the little civilians did not dare to slack off on a strong soldier like Malad, especially when the man had been missing for many days. Two children, a boy and a girl, were coaxed into the back room by their mother, and Frey thought they were only five or six years old, because not only were they small, but they would sneak through the cracks in the door to peek at unfamiliar faces that were not very friendly.
Malad unceremoniously pulled over a chair and pushed it to Frey, and then asked humbly, "I don't know how far away Lord Frey ......"
"How's the Sixth Corps, where is General Zog?" Frey asked Marad off guard, and the other officers bowed their heads in silence.
"We set up camp in the Creek Glades to prepare for the siege, and the rebels carried out a devastating raid on the camp, and General Zog was captured by the rebels, and his fate is unknown. ”
Frey's eyes widened in surprise, although he didn't think that the Sixth Corps was no match for the rebels, he never thought that the famous Sixth Corps would be defeated by the rebels so easily. "You mean an old fox leading a jackal, a tiger and a leopard, was defeated by a fluffy rabbit and a little sheep?" Frey asked.
"Watch your wording, Lord Frey. Malad replied solemnly, Frey could tell he didn't like people slandering Zorg and the Sixth Corps, even innocuous jokes would touch his fragile pride. "Lion's Harbor and Lionheart are important bases for the rebels in the West, with heavy troops. The number of rebels who raided the camp far outnumbered the 6th Corps, and the woodland battle greatly limited the destructive power of the heavy cavalry, so it was reasonable that our army would suffer a crushing defeat. In addition, the rebels have a secret weapon beyond imagination. ”
Frey sat down across from Malad, took a sip of the hot ginger milk the hostess had brought him, and raised his eyebrows with interest.
"I have every reason to believe that the rebel important figure Euan holds Kuitoun. Malad explained.
"No way. Frey resolutely dismissed Malad's claim, a flash of contempt in his eyes. "I've fought with Euan, and if Quithorn had been in his hands, the Duke of Ice's Edge would have changed his position long ago, and maybe the Lord of the New City would be General Zorg, or you. But I love Miloca. ”
"Please stop kidding, Lord Frey. General Zog's saber cannot be severed by any weapon other than Quetoun. ”
Frey drank the hot ginger milk in the cup, and said with a sarcastic smile: "Monster extermination, it is indeed a prestigious legendary sword, but the bard's ode more or less exaggerates its power, at least the 'Heavenly Relic' on your waist is not weaker than it, as well as night, poisonous fire, etc., as for my cloud pill, not to mention, any one has the quality of destroying the demon expulsion, in the final analysis, it still depends on the strength of the user." ”
"Whoa—whoa—" The baron outside the door whistled unconsciously as if he had smelled the growing smell of gunpowder in the room. Kutara stood behind Frey in a knowing manner, his right hand touching the spear on his back.
Marad was obviously very dissatisfied with Frey's disrespectful words, but because of the current situation of the Sixth Corps, he could only hold back his anger and ask Frey: "Whether you agree with my judgment or not, you are the Supreme Commander, Lord Duke." What's next for you?"
Frey curled the corners of his mouth proudly and said calmly, "The army of Ice's Breath is stationed in a village not far away. I don't agree with Lavalen's claim that my troops are in danger - even if there were ambushes, Kuwareh would not have been defeated in the snow. So the top priority is to find a way to save him. Pointing to the body of Ravallen, who had been carried back by Malad, Frey continued coldly, "We exchange him for General Zog. ”
