Fletcher Village.

This is one of the most remote villages in the Lion Kingdom.

No way, this village is only 30 years old, and this is where Count Auden started from scratch.

However, Count Auden's home was long gone, and his castle was Fort Brave, a few dozen miles east of the village.

The village is very quiet, the scenery is also very good, since the Count of Auden, many people have moved here one after another, and the scale is not too small.

Of course, most of the people in this village were tenants of the Count of Auden.

There is currently no lord in the village, but a vigilante patrol is left for law and order.

This is probably the village that Count Auden said when he offered Leon a choice that could be given to him as a knighthood.

Actually, it's not bad as a territory.

Li Ang's heart ached a little, but he also knew that it was absolutely impossible for him to swear allegiance to an earl, otherwise he would only be a two-flowered red stick at best in his life.

To the north of the village of Fletcher is the Tongtian River, the lower reaches of the large river on which the town of Changhe is backed.

The 'bandit' of Auden, the nephew of the Duke of Alma, is now encamped on the other side of the Tongtian River, supposedly to build a fortress in preparation for the expansion to the north.

Their camp can be seen from the watchtower in the village.

But Leon and Sarah didn't feel right as soon as they entered the village, the village seemed a little too calm - there were political enemies peeking on the side of the village, and the Gatu people had entered, and Ralph, the commander of the garrison in Changhe Town, had sent a warning letter to all the villages and towns in the eastern provinces, but the village where the incident originated seemed to have nothing happened.

They first approached the village chief to find out what was going on.

The village chief was an old bald old man, and he was very excited when he saw Leon show Count Auden's letter, and directly said that the militia of the earldom had long wanted to get rid of those 'bandits', but there was no chance and no reason - the other party had been honestly engaged in real estate projects, and had not seen any other movement.

As for the Cato people, I have not seen it.

Leon stood on the watchtower at the head of the village and observed for a while, and there were about forty or fifty people on the other side of the river, who seemed to be indeed engaged in construction.

But this is strange - the Gatu crossed the border, and the patrol did not notice any movement?

That's hundreds of Cato cavalry, and the military discipline is so poor, it's impossible to act without being discovered, right?

That Gato cavalry scurried into the unsuspecting hinterland of the kingdom, and if nothing else, it would surely make the entire eastern province panic, but the village chief of Fletcher Village didn't know anything?

Didn't the Gatu people pass through here?

However, even if the people of Gatu really haven't been here, at least they will receive a warning from Changhe Town!

"Are you sure you didn't find any Catotes? The patrol also did not hear the sound of massive horses' hooves? Didn't the garrison of Changhe Town send a warning? ”

Li Ang asked the village chief.

He began to murmur in his heart, could it be that those Cato people were put in by the Shield Fortress Itself? Did you judge wrong?

"Lord Leon, I swear, I don't know anything about the Catotes! Changhe Town hasn't sent anyone here either! ”

The village chief stared at his dim eyes with some anger, as if he felt that Li Ang was doubting his character.

After speaking, he was worried that Li Ang would not believe it, so he called the captain of the village militia patrol.

The patrol captain also swore that everything was normal in the village, that no outsiders had noticed it, and that only the men of the Duke of Alma on the other side of the river often came to steal chickens and dogs—but in order not to cause conflict, they put up with such trivial matters as Count Auden had told them.

Li Ang, who was in a state of doubt, was a little unsure whether he should cross the river directly and do it.

Could it be that Auden lied to him?

But it's not logical!

There's no reason for Auden to let in a group of Cato and ruin his own situation in Long River!

This village seems to be full of weirdness......

But the village belonged to the county of Auden, and Leon couldn't say anything.

I just went straight to the people across the river.

Looking at the gentle water on the north side of the village, Leon asked his men to leave the village and let the carpenters make some rafts on the spot to cross the river.

Then, he asked the craftsmen to guard the baggage by the river, and he himself led the mercenaries directly to the opposite camp area.

A few men with guns and shields in the camp immediately came out in a menacing manner.

"What do you do? This is the knight of the Horton family! Get out of here now, we won't be warning a second time! ”

Seeing Leon's men doing carpentry work and a large amount of materials, these people didn't seem to be very vigilant - Leon, who had a lot of building materials, looked like he was also here to engage in real estate.

"Who's Horton?"

Leon asked Sarah secretly.

"Horton is Duke Alma's family name. Wait a minute...... My lord, these seem to be Forscher's men—they're members of the Red Brotherhood! Sarah was answering casually, but in the middle of speaking, she sped up in surprise.

Red Brotherhood?

Then you don't have to worry about whether you cheat or not!

Let's talk about it later!

Who let the Red Brotherhood hunt him down......

Solve your own problems first, and then think about the weirdness in the village.

Leon rode his horse and glanced at the fighting power in this camp.

More than a dozen wore chain mail and carried shields, a few wore leather armor and carried bows, and a dozen people looked like people.

Several horses were tied in the camp.

Except for the few infantry who came out for questioning, they were all armed, and the others didn't seem to be ready for battle, as if they were about to eat—this was a good opportunity!

Look again at the topography of the camp - the riverside valley, with its undulating hills and slopes, which are not good for the cavalry, and the proper home of the Metenheim.

Well, the advantage is mine!

"Klose, up! With a hammer! ”

"Charge the whole army!"

Li Ang did not respond to the other side at all, did not waste any time, did not even arrange tactics, and directly announced a surprise attack very suddenly.

Klose had already prepared - after all, Leon had said that he was here to fight, and when he heard the order, he rushed into the camp with his men.

More than a dozen fierce men brandished war hammers and charged side by side, looking very tacit.

But the more than twenty crossbowmen were a little stunned, they had never seen this kind of lord, and they rushed directly without saying hello? Isn't this a bit hasty......

However, since the stormtroopers were already cutting people in the front row, these crossbowmen still consciously and spontaneously stood in a row and began to shoot arrows.

These mercenaries were all experienced, and the fierce men in the front row who were slashing people seemed quite reliable, so they followed behind, specifically killing the opponent's weakly armored archers and cavalry.

Anson consciously hid on the periphery and stayed with Sarah.

But it looked like Sarah, the woman, was protecting him—Sarah was staring at the battlefield with her sword on horseback, while Anson cowered behind her horse......

The people of the Red Brotherhood on the opposite side are indeed not opponents, and Li Ang's operation is not a surprise attack, but a sneak attack......

Most of the fighters on the other side didn't have time to prepare at all, and they were rushed to pieces by a group of fierce men.

In the chaotic battlefield, the terrain along the river is also undulating and mountainous, and the Metenheim people are very strong in this environment.

But when encountering an organized military formation, the big men without shields can easily be shot into hedgehogs.

Leon charged directly, precisely because his gold medal fighter was good at mountain dogfights.

Even deliberately let Klose use a hammer - prisoners can be sold for a lot of money, he is now poor.

This time, instead of charging like a wild boar, he rode back and forth, intending to harvest the fish that had slipped through the net.

Then, he seemed to see a familiar figure.

The little white face that impressed him with his 'outstanding body'!

Still wearing aristocratic robes, with a mouth full of air, he was riding on a horse and trying to run away.
