Chapter 22: Brother and Sister Captive
The female lord listened mainly to Morse's story of his previous battle with the wildlings.
According to Morse, the Marquis of Cullen brought people into the mountains only to recover the guys from above, so he didn't carry much supplies.
They didn't return until the next afternoon, and Morse realized they might be in some trouble, but he was optimistic.
After all, this time the Marquis of Kulun led an army of 10,000 people, and they were all the elites of each family, which was enough to be called a strong soldier, and the opponent was just some wild men in the mountains.
Morse guessed that they might have been attacked by the wildlings along the way, and after winning easily, he chased the wildlings all the way to their lair.
Until another day passed, there was still no news from the Marquis of Cullen's side, and Morse was finally anxious.
Leaving one hundred men to stay in the fort, and another two hundred men, escorting a batch of food and supplies into the mountains to find the army.
However, they had only been walking for half a day before they ran into the wildlings, whose combat strength had not changed from before, and Morse quickly repelled their first wave of attacks.
But with their familiarity with the terrain and their numerical superiority, the wildlings launched a second and third wave of attacks.
Morse's side struggled to deal with it, and after losing about thirty men and an arrow in the arm, Morse had to discard some of his food, withdraw from the Dragoncrest Mountains, and return to Fort Fort.
The wildlings didn't chase them out, and Morse speculated that they probably didn't have a lot of men.
Coupled with the fact that he was besieging the army of the Marquis of Cullen, Morse hoped that Yin Leia would immediately lead people into the mountains.
The female lord was about to agree, but then she heard Durren next to her cough, so she changed her tone and asked, "What about Big Hand, where is he now?" ”
Morse didn't understand why Yin Leia cared so much about the newly arrived groom, but he still said patiently.
"I heard Lord Hulse say that he could understand the wildlings, so I asked him to help interrogate the wildlings who were being imprisoned.
"But the boy said that his mother was not from the same tribe as the captured savages, and he couldn't understand what they were saying."
"Are the languages spoken by the savage tribes and among the tribes different?" The female lord was surprised, "Then how did they get together this time?" ”
"I don't know, and now isn't the time to care about such things."
Miss Rabbit nodded, "In any case, he knows more about Longcrest Mountain and the wild people in it than we do, and I still plan to take him with me this time when I enter the mountain, and Sir Morse, please lend me ten more captives." ”
"What are you going to do with your captive? Those wild people can't communicate with us at all, they are like wild beasts, and they are wild and untamable, and they are very dishonest, beware of causing you trouble on the way. ”
That being said, Morse was quick to get ten captives to bring.
The female lord took a general look, and sure enough, they all looked unruly, and one of them spat at Miss Rabbit after being brought in.
Fortunately, the female lord reacted quickly enough and dodged sideways in advance.
The girl then drew her judgment hand from her waist and fired a shot at the wooden fence beside the savage.
The loud roar, as well as the flames coming out of the chamber of the gun, startled the savages, and the female savage who spat at the female lord before looked even more dumbfounded.
Then she touched her neck, and found that it was wet, and she put her palm in front of her eyes to see that it was her own blood.
Turning her head to look at the wooden fence on the side, it had been beaten to shreds, and the sawdust that jumped out of it cut the skin on her neck.
Fortunately, the injury was not serious, and there was no danger if it was roughly bandaged.
But the eyes of the savages when they looked at the female lord became different, as if they were looking at a beast, and no one dared to make any small movements anymore.
At the same time, Morse, who was immersed in anxiety and uneasiness on the other side, witnessed this scene, but his spirit was shocked, and he opened his mouth to praise.
"It is worthy of being the champion of the martial arts competition, with Sir Yin Leia, I believe that this time I will be able to successfully rescue the Marquis!"
The female lord skillfully inserted the dueling pistol back into the wallet on her waist, and said with a straight face, "I already know about the situation on your side, let's rest here for half a day, and go into the mountain early tomorrow morning." ”
Soon the ten savages were taken down again and locked in solitary confines in a cell.
The so-called cell is actually a fence enclosed by a few sharpened logs, and it is not impossible to climb out with the skills of those savages.
So the guards handcuffed them again and chained them to a thick wooden post in the center of the cell.
In addition, the archers were arranged to keep an eye on their movements, and so far there has been no major disorder.
The ten savages didn't know if they knew that they couldn't escape, or because they were frightened by the hand of judgment in the hands of the female lord in the afternoon, and they were all silent when they returned.
They were all listless, and it wasn't until after dark that two savages began to whisper on the side.
Both of them came from a tribe called the Fog Serpent, and they were brother and sister, and the female wildling was the one who spat at the female lord before.
She asked her brother Redbeard, "Did you see that?" ”
"See what?"
"That black iron pipe, that terrible woman put thunder and fire in it."
"I don't think those nobles in the West have such great skills, we have fought with them before, they are better than us with equipment and weapons, and there are more people than us to bully us." Redbeard said.
"That noblewoman is different, and she seems to be the leader of the new army, what do you think he was trying to do by singleing us out? Is it going to kill the men we gave her to boost morale? ”
"I don't know." Redbeard's expression was a little down, he thought he was a warrior and was not afraid of death, but when the moment really came, he found that he was not as brave as he thought.
As if sensing her brother's nervousness and uneasiness, the wild woman reached out and hugged the latter, placing Redbeard's head against her chest.
"I said we should have a wedding before we went down the mountain, but you told me to go back and say, now it's okay, we can't go back.
"Tell me honestly, are you still obsessed with Shanna's slut? Did you sneak up on my back? ”
"What's the point of talking about it now." Redbeard exasperated, "Our tribe is about to win, but we can't wait for that day to come." ”
