"You are, Hogg." Zhencheng recognized the fat and swarthy figure from the crowd at a glance. That man was none other than Lilisa's original boss, Hogg. I have long known that Hogg is a member of the garrison, and it is really a good reincarnation for heaven to meet again today as a subordinate above and below.

"Hello sir." Hogg saw that he really confessed himself, and he couldn't hide it anymore, and his face was full of false smiles. A few days ago, he revealed the news of the Red-Eyed Crowd to Zhencheng, hoping to kill this nasty imp with the help of the Red-Eyed Crowd's hands, but he didn't expect that this imp not only did not die, but also became his commander. Hogg thought that he was bullied by dogs in Pingyang, and some time ago he encountered the red-eyed crowd, and all the guards under him were killed, and he was demoted from the captain of the garrison to an ordinary member of the garrison, and his heart was already full of complaints.

Zhencheng smiled and nodded, and made a small calculation in his heart. Although Zhencheng is not a bad person, it doesn't mean that he doesn't have a heart. What Hogg treated Lilisa like before, Zhencheng has already remembered it deeply, and now that he has this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for revenge, how could Zhencheng miss it.

"Okay, I'll send you the troops, you can get acquainted with them. The castle scholars seem to have found something about the dead body of a red-eyed man, and I went over to take a look, and I won't linger here. Levi waved his hand and rode away.

"Bye-bye, handsome uncle!" Ai Lu waved her little hand and watched as Levi faded away and disappeared around the corner.

After Levi left, Shinsei continued to the main gate of Bell City as originally planned, where he redeemed the seized equipment. In addition to the subordinates he summoned, there is now a patrol garrison of 50 people, and Zhencheng feels quite majestic for a moment, although there are only about 60 people under him, but he has a feeling of commanding thousands of troops.

Coming to the city gate, Zhencheng held the Zhong family's charter badge, and the redemption procedure was handled quickly, and the equipment was quickly handed over to Zhencheng. There were also more than a dozen horses redeemed along with the armor, not special personnel or horse dealers, and horses were not allowed to enter the city casually, so Zhencheng put the horses here at that time.

Seeing the soldiers ready to go one by one, Makoto was very happy, but at the same time, he also regretted that he bought those sets of armor of the red-eyed people in the city, and the boss had pitted him, and his sets of equipment were worth at least thirty silver coins. However, these little things didn't bother Zhencheng for long, and Zhencheng was more concerned about this bounty mission.

Ready, Makomi lined up the line, with 4 heavily armed sword and shield soldiers in front and 2 shortbow hunters in the back, standing in two neat columns. The accompanying physician stood beside Maseung and Eru, followed by 50 patrol guards. Masei distributes the horses to his subordinates and Ailu.

The guards all bring their own horses and do not need to be assigned. So there are still 7 horses left free. Soon, everyone was on standby.

"I've been waiting for a long time, Your Excellency." A hearty voice reached everyone's ears.

"Lord Kane, I'm ready. You can go at any time. Shinsei also said in Kane's tone, and then he asked the soldiers to line up and prepare for the battle. Eru looked at Kane, smiled wickedly, and didn't speak.

"Oh, okay." Kane looked at the well-equipped warriors on Majo's side and was a little surprised, he didn't expect Majo to have such strength. "Then we won't stay here, let's go!" Kane also commanded his troops out of the city with the Shinsho troops.

On the way, Masei also observed Kane's troops. Kane's side led more than 40 people, most of them ordinary people in cloth clothes, with different body shapes, and the weapons in their hands were also axes and sickles.

"Your Excellency is smiling," Kane smiled at Makomi, who sensed that Makomi was watching his troops. "I'm also a just starting out bounty hunter, and most of my men are friends and brothers who have come out of their hometown together, and most of them were ordinary farmers before they started this job. It can't be compared to the regular army under His Excellency Zhencheng. Kane explained to Shinseung.

"Where, where, it's over." True Chengying and Kane's words, compared with Kane's troops, he has a sense of superiority. "Brother Kane, why are you being bounty hunters, isn't this a big danger?" Makoto voiced his doubts.

"Hey, I don't know." After hearing Makoto's question, Kane frowned, as if he had asked about his sore spot. "We used to want to be honest farmers, although we couldn't achieve much, but food, clothing, housing and transportation were enough. However, in the last year, the empire has been in turmoil, and the barbarians on the border have often invaded and harassed, burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of evil. Many villages have been persecuted, large quantities of crops have been taken and destroyed, and our village has gradually fallen under the attack of barbarians. Not to mention the recent arrival of a group of bandits named the Red-Eyed Ones, who are in cahoots with the barbarians and smell the same. Seeing that everyone was cornered, I proposed with the young adults in the village that I plan to go out and make some money to save the village. ”

“”

"I see." Zhencheng looked at Kane, but he didn't expect this handsome young man to still have some ambition. He then struck up a conversation with Kane. Through his communication with Kane, Shinsei also learned more about the world. The two had a great conversation, and perhaps they could become close friends, as Kane said.

They rode all the way to a hilly area, where a stream blocked their way. On the other side of the creek, you can see many stray footprints leading to a hill ahead. Seeing the situation, Kane beckoned to his troops, and two sturdy young men stepped out of the ranks. They stripped off their clothes and put them on top of their heads, wading through the stream. These two are Kane's most agile men, and they will act as scouts to scout the enemy on the hillside ahead.

"It seems that the intelligence is correct, and this group of barbarian robbers has indeed stopped on the hill ahead. Tomorrow they have a lot of contact with the Red-Eyed, and it is estimated that they will make a slave trade there. Kane said, scanning the terrain ahead as if preparing for the battle ahead.

Time passed quietly, the day passed quietly, and the time came to evening. After a day's march, they were very tired from the exhaustion of the journey, so they planned to find a hidden place nearby and set up camp to rest.

Most of the Grans Empire was plain, with a large temperature difference between day and night, and strong and cold winds at night. Kane, as the natives here, soon erected a windproof tent and lit a fire. Kane and the others skillfully made their preparations, and when they were done, they sat down around the fire, took out some warm spirits, rested and entertained.

And Zhencheng's side is different, they don't have any sense of camping, Zhencheng didn't even prepare a tent, and more than fifty people stood stupidly in place.

"Yo, General, where's your tent? Ha ha. "The gangster man who had a conflict with Zhencheng yesterday will come over slowly, and it seems that he has drunk a lot of wine.

"You don't have to worry about it!" Zhen Cheng frowned and replied to Dahan's ridicule, scolding himself in his heart for forgetting to prepare the camp.

"Yoda! What are you doing! Tomorrow is a raid on the bandit camp, and you have drunk so much wine. Kane drank the big man named Yoda, and then Kane left the fire and walked over and said, "Your Excellency, we have some spare tents to erect." If you don't dislike it, we'll squeeze in tonight and sleep in our tent."

"What! Kane! Why do you let these strangers sleep in our tents, they don't bring their own tents, they deserve no place to sleep! It's up to them to figure it out! As soon as Yoda heard this, he immediately stopped doing it, and he complained loudly.

"Yoda! Is it you who leads the group or I who leads the group! This is my decision! Kane retorted to Yoda's words.

"Okay, Brother Kane, don't argue for me, I didn't bring anything with me, it's my own fault." Masamu made his own statement, first at his subordinates, then at Ailu, who was shivering from the cold, and at the fifty patrol guards who accompanied him in the cold wind. It's okay to admit that it's okay to say that after all, now it's also people with troops, and letting these people accompany them to blow a cool breeze will inevitably cause complaints.

"I have seven more spare horses here, and I'll trade them for a few spare tents with you." Zhencheng let his men take out the surplus horses and barter them for goods, which is the best way at present.

Kane wanted to say something, but Masamu stopped listening to Kane's persuasion and handed over the horse to Kane. Kane didn't say much, and brought a tent to Mako, as well as a lot of extra food and firewood.

The patrol guards set up tents and set up fires, and they are also very familiar with this process when they are often away on business. The warm flames expelled the cold in their bodies, and their complaints about Shinshin went with it. Soon, Maseung's side also settled down. Ailu's little face was red from the fire, and she lay down beside Maseung and fell asleep quietly.

"Hogg! Tonight you're going to sentry! After eating, Makoto gave the first order to the people of the garrison patrol. This order was deliberately aimed at Hogg, and it was considered a disadvantage for him.

Hogg's face was gloomy when he received the order, but he immediately smiled and said, "Okay sir, I promise to complete the task." With that, he patted his ass and walked to the hill with a better view. Hogg is also an exorcist swordsman, although he is overindulged and obese, but his physical fitness is still very good. Freezing on the grassland for one night can only be regarded as mentally insulting to him.

Sword and shield men and shortbow hunters also lay down on the grass in the nearby hills. It doesn't matter if they sleep on the grass, after all, they all consume crystals to survive, and they don't need to eat or sleep, so it won't matter. Masei turned over to look at Kane's campsite, looked around again, and after making sure that there was no danger, he tore two narrow strands of cloth from his cloth and stuffed them in his ears to prevent mosquitoes from penetrating, and then lay down in the soft grass and closed his eyes and concentrated.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Suddenly, the sentry suddenly shouted loudly, followed by a miserable scream, and then there was an instant silence.
