Chapter 166: Human Affection and Accidents
The camp where the mercenaries were located was now quiet.
Inthlandil reappeared in the camp.
Watching the Noldor warriors clean up the corpses of humans, he also seemed to be in a bad mood.
"How much have we lost?"
The Twilight Knight beside him replied, "Your Highness, you have lost ninety-two men. The loss of humanity is more than thirty times that of ours."
Yin Si Landil sighed, "Alas...... But there are more than 1,000 times the number of human beings...... Ninety-two clansmen, how many years will it take to make up for this......
Twilight Knight was silent.
With the loss of less than a hundred Noldor elves, nearly 3,000 mercenaries were killed and wounded, and even the goal of annihilating the enemy was basically achieved, which was undoubtedly a brilliant victory.
There are no immortals in the battle, not to mention that this operation is quite successful, if the human army is allowed to enter the depths of the forest, the final loss will probably not be smaller than this.
But Yin Silandier was still very distressed.
One of his people dies, and the Noldor elves have too few people......
The loss of hundreds of people is not worth mentioning for humanity, but for Noldor, it is already a great loss.
Therefore, Yin Silandier's brows have never stretched.
Not long after, he was approached by a Noldor nobleman.
"Your Highness, I have brought Risadilan, and he has brought you a reply from the Baron Leon, who is said to have asked him to deliver the letter to you with his own hands."
Yin Silandier's eyebrows suddenly soothed a lot, "Let him come to see me."
Risa Dilan walked over with some trepidation, and reached out to hand over Leon's reply, but he didn't know what to say.
"Your Highness, I'm so sorry......
Risa Dilan looked a little cramped, he imagined many times along the way how to face Yin Si Landil, but after seeing it, his first sentence was actually an apology.
"I remember you never apologized to anyone...... Risa Dilan, you have always been a proud nobleman, and you will find someone to duel if you don't agree with you......
Yin Si Landier opened the letter and glanced at Sadilan, his eyes were a little complicated.
"Your Highness, I can now understand your teachings, and I'm sorry that I didn't obey your decree."
Risa Dilan bowed her head and apologized again.
"Looks like the human lord you served probably taught you a lot...... Let you hand me the letter yourself...... This is supposed to make sure you see me, right? It seems that Baron Leon is treating you well......
Yin Silandil nodded, opened the letter, opened it, and only glanced at it, and then smiled.
It seems that Leon used the same language as the Noldor lord to the effect.
"He did teach me things like humility and forbearance, and respect for the law...... Your Highness."
Risardran's face became more complicated, if you really want to talk about it, Leon originally used "poison" to control him, but the Noldor elf himself knew that the so-called 100-day gut-breaking poison was probably not true.
But he just didn't dare to gamble - so he realized that he was not as brave as he thought, and he did learn to endure because of this.
But other than that, Leon did treat him as his own, hid nothing from him, treated him in the same way as Anson or Sarah and others, and paid him according to Klose's standards.
So Risa Dilan is in a very strange mood, he has been controlled by Li Ang, but he doesn't feel that Li Ang is hateful, after all, Li Ang is indeed a reasonable and trustworthy person.
He's getting used to working for the lord now—and it's easier than being a killer.
Unbeknownst to Risadilran, this kind of thinking is called "habitual obedience......
"It seems that he did treat Noldor as a human...... I need to meet with Baron Leon, Risadiran. But I cannot allow a sinner to be a messenger of contact, and from now on, I forgive your sins, and arrange for me to meet him—I think this is probably his intention to have you hand me the letter with your own hands."
Yin Si Landier re-rolled the letter, it did look a little obsessive-compulsive, the letter was neatly rolled, and the fire paint was pressed back to the original seams.
"No, Your Highness, your current pardon is not legitimate, and I will use the decree of the clan to atone for my sins...... Lord Leon has allowed me to fight for my family, even against humans—as long as the family doesn't attack his territory."
Risadilan rejected Yonslandil's order to exonerate.
"Very well, it seems that your pride is still there, and I look forward to you fighting for the family. But you must understand that according to the decree of the family, the merit of killing the enemy alone cannot be atonemented, only the salvation of the people or the bringing back of new knowledge......
Yin Silandiel's face was a little relieved, for him, Lisa Dilan was a young junior.
This junior ignored the decree and killed his nephew in a duel, and of course he should be punished.
But now that he has become obedient to the law, Yin Silandil feels that this is the meaning of punishment.
A sinner who turns back and is willing to contribute to the family seems to a lord to have a much better outcome than killing the sinner.
"Your Highness, I will do it. I'll go and arrange a meeting between you and Lord Leon first......
Risadilan said as she bowed her head.
But before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by another voice.
"Your Highness, there is news from the north...... Ardalian is defeated!"
Another Twilight Knight arrives in a hurry and reports a huge piece of bad news.
"Ardarian? Defeated? He's never lost on the battlefield!"
Yin Silandil was incredulous: "What's going on?"
"Aldarian led his troops to pursue a hundred-man squad of the Knights of the Ebony Gauntlet until they reached the border of the northern steppes, only to be ambushed by the sudden appearance of the Gatu army, which is said to be the army of Judah the "Saboteur"! The tribes of Ardalyan suffered heavy losses, at least two hundred people were killed. Now Judah's army is still chasing him, and has pursued him deep into the forest!"
The Twilight Knight spoke quickly about the military.
"Juda the Saboteur? His army chased him into the forest?"
Yin Silandil frowned tightly, he didn't expect that the most powerful warrior in the Noldor clan would be defeated! I didn't expect that the most terrible Cato warlord in the steppe would actually enter the Noldor Forest!
"According to the tribesmen's report, Juda's army is about 1,000 people, and they have abandoned their horses and entered the forest, and have been marching south......
The Twilight Knight said and pointed to the northeast, "Judging by the time, they may be about to enter the territory of House Fenway, and after Lord Aldarion's defeat, there is no one in the north who can stop them!"
"Gather the whole army here! We must go to the rescue immediately! Juda's army must have come for the Elven Horses of the Fenway Family!"
Yin Silandil did not hesitate and immediately ordered the whole army.
"Your Highness, Lord Leon's side ......."
Risa Dilan asked.
Yin Si Landil sighed and instructed Risa Dilan, "It seems that we can't meet him for the time being. Go and tell Baron Leon that for his sake, I will spare the escaped Ebony Gauntlet Knights on Mount Dengier, and leave him all the loot here, and this is the greatest kindness I can show him. In addition, I hope that Baron Leon can provide some help in rescuing the Fenway family, I know that the Cato are also his enemies, and Baron Leon's Noldor bloodline is likely to come from the Fenway family."
Risa Diran nodded in resignation.
Leon has shown his intention to coexist peacefully, and of course Yin Silandil will reciprocate and prove the sincerity of the Aino family.
Although the proud Noldor Elf was not very happy to engage in this kind of favor in his heart, and he would not easily ask for help from others, as a lord, coupled with the limitations of the current situation, Yin Silandil still did it.
Yes, it's a nice touch.
Yin Si Landier was going to take all the troops to rescue the Fenway family urgently, and there was no time to pack up the loot, and he also had to take away the three hundred cavalry chasing the Ebony Gauntlet Knights, and he didn't have time to clean up the escaped Ebony Gauntlets.
It simply said that "he spared the Ebony Handguard Knights and left all the loot", which in Yin Silandier's opinion allowed Leon to see his sincerity - the Noldor Elves were able to spare the most hated enemy, the Ebony Handlet Knights, which was a good face.
A family leader who has lived for hundreds of years is certainly proficient in these techniques.
However, the lord was not very happy when he received this news - he had already offended the Ebony Handlet Knights, and he didn't care if Noldor would let them go......
However, Yin Silandier has already forced this favor, if he doesn't accept it, won't he look down on Yin Silandier?
But fortunately, Yin Silandil still gave some practical benefits - the "loot" in his mouth was actually the equipment of those mercenaries and the money on those mercenaries.
King Ulrike must have paid a lot of money for hiring these mercenaries, and most of these mercenaries will not have time to spend, so they must still be with him......
Therefore, the lord is still happy to accept this kind of favor, and the work of cleaning the battlefield can still be done.
But just before leaving, the lord had a flash of inspiration and ordered Anson, "Go, bring all my flags out with you."
……
The members of the Ebony Handguard Knights are all in a mixed mood at the moment.
There is both the relief of the rest of the catastrophe and the shame of fleeing before fighting.
In the eyes of Dumbledore, the Knight Captain of the First Brigade, they were indeed lucky to pick up a life, and Dumbledore certainly knew what would happen to Noldor with the same number of people.
But just when the Noldor cavalry was already resting and preparing to attack, they strangely withdrew suddenly.
Dumbledore didn't know why, he didn't see any reinforcements nearby......
So he cautiously continued to guard the mountain for most of the day, until he saw Leon's banner appear at the bottom of the mountain, and then slowly descended the mountain.
The lord was waiting at the foot of the mountain, with only thirty or so cavalrymen around him, but each of them had a golden griffin banner - this was all his banners, not the spear battle flag, but the lord's banner.
"Lord Leon...... How is this ......?"
Dumbledore was still a little confused.
"You're asking the Noldor's troops, aren't you? They're gone. Guess why I put up so many flags......
The lord began to flicker without blinking.
"Just by looking at the number of flags, one might think that this is an army of three thousand...... I see, thank you for your selfless help, Lord Leon!"
Dumbledore was still very clever, and immediately guessed the intention of the lord - he thought that Leon had used a large number of banners to disguise himself as an army and scare off Noldor......
In Dumbledore's opinion, although Leon did not support their actions at all, he still sent troops to rescue them at the most critical time - this is indeed admirable, and the small friction before is no longer worth mentioning.
"Dumbledore, I know your mission is for the Kingdom, but I think you can understand why I was reluctant to let you in...... The hatred between you and Noldor is too deep, what do you think will happen to those villages if you are stationed in the villages of Whitestag Castle?"
The lord put on a very helpless expression, and took the lead.
"I didn't expect Noldor to take the initiative to attack, in fact, I thought I was going to die this time......
Dumbledore nodded in understanding Lord Leon's painstaking efforts......
Amy, who was accompanying her, was full of admiration, and Leon actually brought back the previous contradiction? Seeing this, the Ebony Handguard Knights have to be grateful to Leon......
This ability to turn accidents into worldly sophistication and make people owe favors is probably called cunning......
"Lord Leon, ...... in the camp over there."
Dumbledore asked a little wryly.
"Those mercenaries are gone, not a single one left......
Lord Lords shook their heads.
"I'd like to ask you a favor, Lord Leon!"
Dumbledore swallowed, it was expected that the mercenary group would be wiped out, and he also knew that Leon's troops could not save those mercenaries, and it would be nice to be able to scare the Noldor cavalry away.
"Dumbledore, I can probably understand your intentions...... You want me to hide this report from the kingdom, right? I can guess why you're here and not in the camp......
Leon looked at Dumbledore with a somewhat complicated expression.
He knew that Dumbledore would definitely tell him not to make public about the mercenaries who had died in the camp.
Since the Ebony Gauntlet Knights are now fully staffed, it is obvious that they probably fled without a fight...... If this is known, the reputation of the Ebony Handlet Knights will be ruined.
You know, the Order has always boasted that it "dares to charge the Noldor under any circumstances......
"Lord Leon, I had already guessed when I saw your golden coat of arms, and you probably knew about the mission of our Knights...... So you'll understand that even if I can't finish my mission now, I can't let people know that those mercenaries are gone so soon - or I'm not going to end well."
Dumbledore's expression was just as complicated.
Of course, he didn't dare let people know that he had fled without a fight, or even that the mercenaries were all wiped out by now, or else only most of the Ebony Gauntlet Knights would be alive - and anyone could guess how they survived......
And there is also a suspicion of deliberately killing those mercenaries.
Although he did leave those mercenaries and ran away, and he did have the intention of trapping those mercenaries to let them block Noldor, he couldn't admit it......
"Dumbledore, we're also fated, and I can help you this time. But the question is, where do you go now? You can't go back to Crag Bay now, can you? I don't dare to let your knights stay in White Hart Castle, otherwise I will definitely attract the Noldor army......
The Lord shook his head, as if thinking about Dumbledore.
"Ugh...... You're right......
Dumbledore let out a long sigh.
Indeed, he can't go back now, at least he has to wait for ten days and a half months, otherwise at least he has not fulfilled his responsibilities.
But it is true that his troops cannot stay in the territory of White Deer Fort now, and his subordinates should not dare to enter the forest anymore, and he has nowhere to go now.
"Why don't you go to the west of Shield Fortress, I've heard that Juda the Destroyer has entered the Noldor Forest—so you know why the Noldor army took the initiative to attack, right? The Gatu defeated a Noldor army on the north side of the forest, and then they left a lot of horses at the edge of the forest and chased them into the forest......
The lord pointed to the northeast, "The Noldor in the forest is not easy to deal with, but the Gatu who dismount are easy to deal with, I think they will definitely take some Noldor prisoners with them when they exit the forest - you go and get their horses, and then stop them outside the forest, and those Noldor prisoners will fall into your hands." I don't get this information easily, if you can get the Noldor prisoners, remember to bring those Gatumas to my Maixiang......
"Thank you for your advice, Lord Leon!"
Dumbledore's eyes lit up, and he knew that this information must be true, because the Knights of the Ebony Gauntlet had indeed sent a team to lead Ardarian's forces to the Gato Meadows.
If the Cato chased into the forest, then this was his best chance now - the Cato would definitely take the Noldor prisoners with him when they retreated, and if he had taken the Cato horse, then he could indeed defeat the Cato and take the Noldor prisoners, even if there were no noble girls among them, at least it would prove that he did his best!
"Lord Leon, thank you for your help, the Ebony Handlet Knights will reward you!"
Dumbledore led his troops all the way north, marching quickly and quickly.
And the lord received a large number of dinars and various equipment from the dead mercenaries in that camp.
Cash alone is almost 100,000 dinars.
It was a windfall, but it came at a cost - he had to rescue the Fenway family of Noldor.
Leon didn't fool the Ebony Handguard Knights, in fact he had planned to go to the northern grasslands to pick up the leaks himself, and he even sent a message to Baron Leofric, asking him to try to find a large number of horses at the junction between the western grasslands and the forest.
But after thinking about the second half of what Yin Silandil brought him, the lord finally decided to directly lead the army into the forest and rescue the Fenway family head-on.
The Gatu were also his enemies, and Leon's Noldor bloodline was probably from the Fenway family.
The lord felt that of course this would have to be supported head-on.
It's not for any blood camaraderie, and it's not for Noldor to be grateful to himself.
It's for the technology mastered by the Fenway family - the Noldor elven horse and enchanted equipment.
