Unable to sleep all night, Pol decides to hurry up and bring someone to meet Marcus......

It was also this night that Marcus was in his estate, preparing for a "counterattack".

It has been more than twenty days since the last fierce battle, and his body is better, and it can even be said that he has recovered quickly.

But it's just that you can walk independently at a "slow" pace, and you still can't hold a sword.

The trained physician told him, "Without 100 days, it is impossible to recover more than 60 percent." ”

There may even be permanent damage!

A hundred days was too long for Marcus to wait, so he used a thinned piece of wood to stick to the damaged part of his body, and then tied a rope and a soft cloth to fix it.

In this way, it will be very painful to move, but if you can endure it, you can barely walk like a normal person.

His subordinates persuaded him to surrender, and he replied lightly, "My father taught me a lot of things, but he didn't teach me to change masters. ”

The Milo family actually has an old family motto.

Bravery, sacrifice, loyalty to the Lord.

Recently, Marcus dreamed of his father, and when he had the idea of surrendering to Oran, he woke up in the middle of a night, and suddenly saw his father holding a sword to protect the lord against the Vikings.

He was not a devotion to the "Lord," but the "Father" was his faith.

Marcus decides to help the lord hold his sword one more time.

If he dies in battle, it will be the fate that the "Lord" has arranged long ago.

If he can survive, then he will go to a wider world to see, find stronger opponents, and be loyal to a stronger lord, instead of a hostess who can only mess with male pets, a child who is still nursing.

"The Seven Kingdoms are so big, he wants to see them."

The life-and-death battle with Alger inspires him to fight again.

But not everyone wanted to die, and soon there was information that the people and soldiers had fled at the border.

County Durham isn't just one Frontier Knight, there are two.

Another frontier knight returned to the castle early when the Orlan King was overwhelmed, and joined the others in advising Lady Rowling.

At the same time, he also sent cronies to contact Orlan as soon as possible, striving to be a "leading party".

Orlan became the new master, and still did not change the rule of these knights, so they just changed the kiss of the power ring, knelt down at their feet, and even thought that only those with bad brains chose to fight to the death.

Marcus gathered the people of the surrounding villages a few days ago, and went to the villages farther away to ask for manpower, and quickly sent people to the castle to ask for help.

But today, the people sent to the castle have been lost in the sea, and no information has been received.

At noon on April 16, 865 A.D., the undercover soldier who had been released by Oran and returned to the outpost volunteered again to go to the border to find out the news of Oran and returned.

Marcus suddenly grabbed him, ignored his pleas for mercy and told him,

"I've always been skeptical that you'll be back safely, and you've often made solo patrols, and I've sent people to follow you twice recently, and I've seen you meet with fresh faces and then disappear, and they're all coming from the direction of Oran without exception, if it's not for the finesse, even if you're unlucky!"

"Your Excellency!"

Marcus had the traitor slashed with a sword, and on the same day, in the name of the Frontier Knights, he summoned all the men who could fight, distributed all the equipment, and encouraged them, saying, "I have killed the fine work sent by Orlan, and I have sent false news to the traitor in advance, so that the traitor will report back that our team will launch a surprise attack from the east at midnight,

I also asked that Orlan was now divided into three troops, and that he was near the southern forest, and that we were moving there tonight.

If Orlan listens to my false information and sends a large number of troops to defend the east, the main force will definitely be weakened, and we will have a better chance, and if we can successfully capture him, we may be able to remove the danger of the territory. ”

Everyone has inertia, and the last time Marcus used the method of night surprise attack to repel Alger.

This time, he was too familiar with the surrounding terrain, and he knew that there were multiple ways to avoid scouts, and he could stealthily enter the forest to ambush him, and he wanted to repeat his old tricks.

"My lord, how many people are there in Orlan?"

"Not much, at most about a hundred people, and they are not familiar with the terrain, my injuries have healed a lot, as long as I can get close, I will definitely win."

Marcus deliberately made the other party weak, so that the soldiers had the mind to fight.

That night, Marcus personally led the team, dressed lightly, and endured pain across the border meadows and into the forest.

He prepared in advance, but he only gathered fifty men, and ten of them remained at the outpost fortress.

Not all of the people who were brought out had weapons.

The sword is a precious material, and only ten people hold it, let alone armor, only the mixed armor of leather armor and beast armor.

Chain mail is expensive and difficult for others to hold, only Marcus has a set.

But with a body like him, it was difficult to travel with such a heavy armor, so he only put on a simple half-body leather armor.

When you are in a hurry, if you don't fix your body in advance, I'm afraid that the bones of your whole body will fall apart.

After a few moments, Marcus was sweating profusely.

"Are you alright, my lord?" A servant asked with concern.

"It's just too hot." Marcus responded to the protector with an ugly smile huddled together on his facial features.

Relying on willpower, he had practiced swordsmanship so quickly at the age of twenty, and this time he believed that he could still perform miracles.

As a hunter who has been here since he was a child, he instinctively knows exactly where he is based on the faint shadow of the moon, the height of the tree, and the darkness of the night.

Before dawn, Marcus's team marched to the ambush site, but waited left and right, and when the sun came out in the morning, there was still no one to see.

He had no choice but to go back the way he came, and when he returned to the outpost, he was exhausted.

And also feel the unusual atmosphere.

As he walked through a weedy field, he smelled blood.

It's like a hunter spotting a wounded beast in the distance, and his heart is alert!

He raised his hand and drew the communication gestures often used in the border areas, telling the crowd to be careful, and slowly followed the scent......

In the end, it was found that it was a border lord from the nearby grassland, and he was hit by an arrow and died of blood loss.

There is a line of small letters on the arrow - "The White Eagle Shines".

"Bastard...... Oran!" Marcus clenched his sword, his mind in turmoil.

Why did the outpost fall suddenly?

And this commando team of forty people, there are too many people, and it is inevitable that they will show movement when they move, and they are too close to the outpost fortress, and they are discovered by the Orlan soldiers who have already taken down this outpost and shout, "The enemy has invaded!"

Then, in a row of military houses in the distant outpost, soldiers rushed out - the white eagle flag fluttered.

This frontier fort is the triumph of "Father Marcus", hidden between forests and weeds, and has been reopened.

Except for the open space in the area where the soldiers are active, they do not mow the surrounding weeds on weekdays, and let them grow wildly, and these weeds and trees hide the outpost fortress.

Formation of a fortress in the forest.

There are also plenty of wooden spikes to keep horses away, as well as dug trap notches around the perimeter.

If Marcus hadn't taken the team out, Orlan would have had to spend at least three times as many casualties as the fortress would have taken it quickly.

The Orlan soldiers who rushed out were divided into three groups, the first group was armed with a square shield and a spear with iron at the top, in the middle were elite infantry with armor and swords, and at the end were archers with longbows.

Bows and arrows are cheap to manufacture and lethal, and Orlan can't have so many weapons for his men, so he has recently trained a team of archers so that he can effectively deal a blow to the Vikings when defending the city.

Today is the time for military training.

The archers began to shoot at the weeds in the distance, and if one of them was hit by an arrow and made a sound, the Marcus team would be completely exposed.

"Hide!"

As soon as Marcus finished speaking, a soldier was hit by an arrow into the grass, and then shouted and shouted.

He didn't know how many people were there, but he was obviously surrounded at the moment, either flee or fight!

"This is the Dawn Excalibur?"

At the moment, the sole owner of County Durham - Oran Vijay.

Dressed in silver soft armor, he slowly walked out of the military shed at the back of the outpost, with Ladd and Nanding standing beside him.

Both of them were the ones who were defeated by Marcus last time, especially Rad, who could be described as enemies when they met, and they were very angry.
