Sarah was very upset, because after she informed Leon of Ralph's request, Leon just nodded very flatly and said to the Ranger, "Good! I'm going to stay here forever. ”

Then, Leon pulled the reverent Ranger aside and whispered something.

By the time the ranger had given a military salute and left, Leon had an extra bow on his body, a bow that looked good.

It looks like Leon is really going to stay here......

Otherwise, the Ranger would never have given his bow to Leon.

"My lord, do we really want to stick to the Tongtian River here......

Sarah didn't want Leon to die here, this was the most different kind of aristocrat she had ever met.

"Sarah, since this is a transaction I initiated, of course I have to stay here until the transaction is completed......"

Leon no longer has the greed of a philistine in his eyes, but is more like a simple soldier, but his mouth still talks about the principles of doing business.

Sarah was even more confused, she met the Cato 100 a few days ago and was forced to dig into the forest...... Why is this guy a hero now?

Even the army of Gato dared to shout?

It's not like ah, I was kidnapped in the pit two days ago......

Irritated?

"Sarah, this battle could be dangerous...... Do you want to get out of the way? ”

Leon's voice became soft and deep.

"No, sir, don't ......"

Sarah refused without hesitation, but a strange feeling welled up in her heart, and she heard a different concern and worry from Leon's words.

"So...... Sarah...... We're friends, right? ”

Li Ang's expression became more and more serious, and the heroic silhouette of his side face stared into the distance, as if he was hesitating, and as if he was making up his mind.

Sarah's heart pounded twice, almost out of rhythm: "Of course, adults ......"

"So, can you ......?"

Leon's eyes turned to Sarah's tight face, his eyes full of sincerity.

"Huh?"

Sarah was sure she had an irregular heartbeat, and she hadn't been so nervous even that winter the night she killed a dozen men alone.

She didn't even notice that the fighting in the camp had stopped, and a group of men poked their heads out from behind the wall and lined up, holding their breath and eavesdropping.

"Can you lend me some money...... I'm penniless now......"

Leon flipped through his empty pockets.

The sound of the sword unsheathed sounded.

Sarah...... Ahhhh......h

"Get out!!"

On the lookout, Summer, who had been watching the live version of the silent movie from a distance, sighed and shook his head: "I knew it...... How can you be so eager to doubt a lady......"

But Li Ang, who was holding his head, was looking at the skill panel with a smile.

- Your 'Domination' skill level has increased.

……

In the crisp afternoon, it is clear and cloudless, and the blue sky and grass narrate the vitality and beauty.

But in the air, there was a hint of gunsmoke.

A huge warning wolf smoke rose over Fort Shield.

Even if it is dozens of miles away, you can clearly see the black plume of smoke tumbling into the sky.

The village of Fletcher next door has been evacuated to the south, and the villagers have lived on the border for a long time, so they naturally know what to do when they see wolf smoke.

The wooden bridge has been renovated and looks like it is in full condition.

Leon went up with a few Metenheim men to try it out, and the planks on the bridge deck looked a little thin, but it should be barely usable.

It's just that the wooden pile piers under the bridge, which were originally connected by supporting timber, seem to be all separated now.

Dozens of wooden stakes have become free-standing columns, and the structure looks much simpler.

One end of the bridge, of course, is on the opposite side of the river.

And the other end, right in the camp.

So, this camp is an authentic bridgehead.

On the side of the camp facing the bridge deck, a wooden wall has been erected, which is haphazardly patched together with stakes and planks removed from the original bridge piles, which looks rather shoddy.

The walls are not high, only more than two meters.

Even with the wooden arrow guards nailed diagonally to the wall, it is about three meters.

But the wall is thick enough for two people walking side by side.

It was more like a fort than a wall, which completely blocked the exit of the bridge, but from a distance it looked like it was part of the deck, as if the deck extended to both sides of the camp.

After all, the bridge deck and the walls are unpainted log panels, and there is not much difference from a distance.

But this fortress blocked the bridge deck so badly that even if Leon and the others wanted to leave the bridge deck, they had to be pulled up by the people on the wall.

Seeing this visual effect, the soldiers present had some confidence.

Perhaps they were able to hold the bridgehead until Ralph's reinforcements arrived.

Afterwards, Leon gathered all his men and began to assign tasks.

Everyone, including the carpenters, has their own tasks, except for the bruised Anson and the restless Sarah.

After arranging, looking at his subordinates who were doing things separately, Li Ang felt as if he had overlooked something.

"My lord, what about the captives?"

Anson asked.

By the way, those captives!

looked at the two people beside him, a kind-hearted weak chicken, and a woman with an unkind expression.

Forget it, let's do it yourself.

“…… It's too late to transfer them, and I'm going to make sure they're completely incapacitated, lest something happen to them! ”

Leon took out the mace on his waist and planned to do the work himself.

Anson opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything after all, the northeast is like a cloud, and a strong enemy is imminent, no matter how soft-hearted he is, he knows how to measure.

But Sarah snatched the hammer and stared at Leon with a chilling glint in her eyes.

He also shook the hammer in his hand......

"Sarah, I was just joking last night...... The day before yesterday we were penniless, and today we are about to face a strong enemy, maybe there will be resentment - I have to act like I am so poor that I borrow money everywhere to balance their hearts. This is for the morale of the army...... Don't mind...... Give me the hammer. ”

Li Ang explained with a sneer, he had just figured out the reason for the upgrade of the Domination Skill.

"Well, kidding, I don't mind...... But you're a lord, so you shouldn't do this dirty thing with your own hands......"

Sarah's grim eyes did not change in the slightest, and she gritted her back molars and spat out two words, then lifted her hammer and entered the barracks where the prisoners were held.

Then, there were terrible screams in the barracks.

"Just kidding! Call you kidding! …… Friend! Hum...... Don't run! Legs out! Call you kidding! ……”

Sarah's voice was also mixed with screams, which seemed particularly harmonious.

Leon and Anson looked at each other.

Anson muttered, "Terrible woman...... My lord, haven't you studied the books I gave you? ”

"Shut up! Anson...... Wait, isn't it fluttering? ”

Leon was right, the bridge deck had indeed begun to shake.

After a few seconds, the tremor was clearly felt even on the ground.

From light to heavy, from far to near.

Summer, who was on the lookout, shouted: "Enemy attack! North! ”

Here comes the Catotes!

It was a cavalry of about three hundred men, divided into three hundreds.

The horses' hooves rumbled and came to a halt on the north bank of the Tongtian River.

The collision of the quiver with the horse's body, the screeching of the saber out of its sheath, and the neighing of the horse were all intertwined.

The feeling of slaughter came to you.

The Cato cavalry on the opposite side began to send men to patrol along the riverbank, and several cavalrymen with spears rushed back and forth along the river.

And the large army, gathered on the other side of the river, was at the other end of the bridge.

"Don't make a sound! Prepare for battle! ”
