Chapter 109: Bumping into each other
Edmund was not Matz's coalition army, he sent almost all the cultivators he could gather for the sake of Oro City and his merits.
As for the defenders of the Five Hundred Gorge who were captured and confessed, of course, it was also Edmund's strength, but Raphael thought that there was no need to care about it at all, and as soon as the logistics were cut off, they naturally surrendered.
The cavalry departed, but Luo Fei did not follow, and he hurried into the city.
As soon as the news of the victory broke, the city was already lively, and the whole city was brighter than usual, and the tavern was full of excited lords, who praised the lord and celebrated the victory.
Luo Fei found Nicholas, who was hooking up with the mercenary, and said, "Brother Nicholas, go, accompany me to do something." β
Nicholas turned his head to look at the mercenary's complaining eyes, and complained, "You haven't made the contract yet, what do you want me to do with you?"
Luo Fei smiled flatteringly: "Are you still afraid that there are no beautiful women? Luo Lan's matter is basically done, the more status I have, the more face you have, right? Let's arrest Edmund." β
Nicholas was skeptical, "Is it really done?"
Luo Fei immediately said: "It's as true as our friendship, go quickly, don't be verbose." β
On the street outside the tavern, amid an exclamation, a huge cyan dragon flew into the sky with Luo Fei.
Bevili stood on the bow of the small merchant ship, and saw a black dot flying above Oro City from a distance, she tried to look closely, and found that it was a giant dragon, so she said to the one-eyed strong man under her hand: "This Oro City is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, the water is extremely deep, Edmund is really useless, quickly, let's go, don't let people rob it, after finishing this ticket, our ship will go in the direction of Yanjing, go around in a circle and go to the sea, this damn Raphael, control the river." β
One-eyed looked a little silly, and exclaimed, "Don't worry, ma'am, the land is much farther than the water, and they are not as fast as us." He immediately beckoned a few strong men and raised the anchor and hoisted the sails, for for them, it was too easy to control such a small boat.
The small merchant ship did not make the slightest movement, and headed neatly towards Pavel.
Raphael took the cavalry to Pavel and began to disperse, a team of five hundred cavalry, it was enough, the faster he moved, the easier it was to occupy, before Edmund did not catch it, he planned to march all night, no matter how tired he was, he had to do so.
As soon as he assigned the cavalry and the target of the attack, he saw Luo Fei flying over his head, it was so dark that it was impossible for him to notice Luo Fei, but Luo Fei deliberately lowered it very low, and turned around his head triumphantly.
Raphael made a gesture telling him to fuck off, and smiled.
This is better, Lorain was reluctant to take care of things after the war, and he was focused on studying the underground mechanism in the city with Emilia, and Valerie's strength Raphael couldn't figure it out, and he didn't worry about letting Valerie chase after him.
Edmund wasn't alone, he was surrounded by a dozen loyal knights.
The cavalry led by Raphael himself took the main road, and after a night's march, they finally came to a small city, but there was no need for him to threaten with force here.
Obviously, Edmund fled this route, after the thousand cavalry chasing Edmund passed here, the clansmen of the small city lord surrendered voluntarily, although they knew that in the future, power would be redistributed, but they could take the initiative to fight for opportunities for the future, and now, the banner of the Oro Collar was planted on this wall.
After Raphael entered the city, under the guidance of the trembling nobles, he led the cavalry to the main fort, intending to rest, in this case, he did not need to rush this way.
Before the cavalry could be placed, the city was filled with the sound of hurried hooves and noisy shouts, and then a huge dragon flew over the town, and Luo Fei was carrying a terrible head in his hand, proclaiming his greatness.
With Nicholas's involvement, Edmund was undoubtedly caught up and killed, and the location, in the wilderness not far from the small city, where a thousand chasing horsemen also returned to rest.
Raphael looked at Luo Fei with his tail cocked in the sky, completely relieved, and he immediately ordered to send scouts to contact the various teams of cavalry, so that they could control the news and advance steadily.
In fact, as soon as Edmund died, there was basically no need for the army, if any aristocratic idiot was enough to resist in this situation, then this kind of small family was doomed to perish, and if he did not resist, he would have a chance to turn over again.
Because for a lord, managing the entire territory requires talent. And learning is basically the prerogative of the aristocracy, most of the commoners do not even know the words, and the aristocracy is the talent.
Therefore, these old nobles have been deprived of their land at most, and generally the new lords will not confiscate all their property and exterminate them, they still have a chance to rise again, and this chance is still very high.
After marching all the way, 1,500 cavalry finally came to the city of Pavel, and along the way, Raphael was surprised to find that the cities he passed through did not even know the news of Edmund's defeat.
It seems that the nobles who surrendered in front hope that the nobles in the back can resist stupidly, so that there will be fewer opponents in the future power struggle.
There were only a few improvised garrisons in Pavel, and a hundred of Edmund's cronies scattered throughout the city, but it was clear that the nobles who had surrendered were even more afraid to pass on the news to them.
Without waiting for Raphael's cavalry to approach the city, Luo Fei overtook the cavalry on Nicholas and flew swiftly towards the city gates.
A small group of guards at the city gate was shocked and overwhelmed when they saw Luo Fei's armor emblem.
Is it useful for the dragon to close the city gates? Not to mention, because no news has been received, the city gates are all open normally, and the traffic under the gates is full of obstacles.
The dragon Nicholas swooped down from the air, scared away the merchants and pedestrians, and then gently hooked the axle of the wagon in the city gate with its paws, and the cart immediately collapsed, completely jamming the city gate.
Not to mention the closure of the door, the guards formed a battle formation in horror, as if it would be safer to face Nicholas in this way.
Nicholas didn't attack them, he grabbed the fruit box from the van and poured it into his mouth, and hummed, "Be honest if you're smart." β
The guards were in a battle of arms, and they were hesitating to send one or two to the city to report the news, when a large force of cavalry appeared in the distance with smoke and dust to make them understand that Edmund had been completely defeated.
At this time, the most stubborn nobles could only surrender, even if their interests would be seriously harmed, they gave way, obediently threw away their weapons, fell to their knees, and the cavalry poured into the city.
Nicholas saw that the guards at the city gate had surrendered and the cavalry had entered the city, so he didn't want to be a mount for Luo Fei anymore, so he grabbed Luo Fei, threw Luo Fei on the ground, turned into a man, pulled a wildebeest and sat on it, and said: "It's good that I'm helping you so much, I hope you can get the contract done as soon as possible." I'm not used to becoming a dragon, I have so much more appetite, and I can only eat rough food. β
Luo Fei got up stupidly, and could only find a wildebeest, although the dragon rode majestic, but the obedient flying monster seemed to be better, even if he signed an equal contract with Nicholas in the future, it is estimated that it will not be very pleasant to use.
Luo Fei catches up with Raphael and begins to talk to Raphael about the situation in the city, bragging about how powerful his intelligence is.
Nicholas followed behind Luo Fei, controlling his emotions and hiding the fierce light in his eyes, lest he couldn't help tearing Raphael to pieces and hurting Loraine's soul.
After the cavalry entered the city, they blocked the four gates, Pavel City, unlike other small cities, where Edmund's family was here, and it had to be cleansed, but Raphael still only asked to be captured, and all of them were used as slaves.
Luo Fei volunteered to do it, this time he could raid the house, he thought that there was oil and water to fish, he had his own information, he could do it better than Raphael, which people were Edmund's cronies, he knew very well.
Raphael did not get involved anymore, he liked the city of Pavel because the river Seine flows directly into the city, which makes Pavel full of natural beauty.
The city of Oro gave him the feeling that it was on top of a large mound.
He breathed a breath of fresh air, ignored the chickens and dogs in the city, rode his horse, and led a troop of cavalry along the Seine River, slowly towards the main fort.
As he walked, he came to Edmund's old mansion.
Through the cracks between the walls and windows and the flowers and trees, there are actually people fighting inside!
In the garden of the mansion, six of the ten guards had died, and only four guards were still fighting with three men and women in mercenary suits, and there were also the bodies of three mercenaries underground.
Raphael immediately understood.
At this time, two screams were heard in the courtyard of the mansion, and two more guards died.
Raphael saw that the three mercenaries attacked more fiercely, the light on their weapons flashed wildly, and the remaining two guards were probably out of the way, and they suddenly attacked one of the mercenaries, probably trying to pull a cushion even if they died.
When Raphael and his cavalry burst open the courtyard gates, they were almost all dead, leaving a beautiful woman with a battle axe and a one-eyed man with a pirate knife looking nervously at him.
The movements of the cavalry were very simple, in groups of ten, they held crossbow arrows and aimed at the two mercenaries, and the crossbow arrows pointed at a very strange position, covering a five-meter radius around the two mercenaries, not staring at people.
Bevily and One-Eyed Cold's hair stood on end, these knights were by no means comparable to ordinary soldiers, this kind of coordination was more tacit than the mercenary squads that were often born and died.
Raphael gracefully propped up his arms, touched his chin, and said with a smile: "Pirate, no wonder Edmund has so many weapons, I have obviously deducted a lot." It seems that this mansion is not simple. Will you surrender immediately, or do you want to test my crossbow arrows with your strength?"
One-eyed quickly blocked it with a corpse, and at the same time stopped slightly in front of Bei Weili, poked his head out, and said, "I surrender, can I eat enough in my cell?"
Beveli said angrily: "Barbaro, what about your courage? We may not have the strength to fight, even if we can't fight, are we afraid that we won't be able to escape?" she said this, but she did not move, and when she spoke, her eyes were fixed on Raphael.
Raphael saw that she was just sealing the faΓ§ade with a tomahawk, not an attack posture, the fighting spirit on the tomahawk fluctuated very strongly, and it was estimated that she had at least the strength of a high-level glory fighter, and on the side of Xiaolou, there was the Seine River.
Pirates, when they get to the river, they must be like fish in water, and, pirates, how did they get here? He said, "It seems that you know me, so do you want something good?" β
