Chapter 30: Backlash
The battle really ended very quickly. By the time Ye Junwen and his people rushed down the mountain, they were already inspecting the work of the battlefield, and there were almost no living people below, except for the corpses, that is, some of the smashed hands and feet who were not yet dead, and the battle was over with a casual knife.
In this battle, Ye Junwen's side did not lose anything at all, not even a single injured person, after all, the soldiers just threw the prepared stones down on it and finished the matter, and it was impossible for anyone to be injured in this case.
"How many are there?" Ye Junwen asked.
"Probably...... More than 500 people. The one who answered him was a soldier, the captain of the guard squad that Ye Junwen had just promoted before. At this time, the other party also looked at Ye Junwen with a hint of awe, after all, the scene behind him was made by this new city lord.
"Are there still more than 400 troops?" Ye Junwen nodded, then waved his hand and said, "Quickly clean up the battlefield, and then form a team." ”
"Yes, sir." The captain here also went down immediately. After he left, Ye Junwen also said in another direction: "What about your side, have you thought about it?" ”
In the shadows beside him, Lawson stepped out. He looked at Ye Junwen again, then suddenly knelt down on one knee and said, "I am willing to be loyal, Lord Lord." ”
"Very well, I hope your oath is true." Ye Junwen nodded.
Time went back a little bit earlier, when Ye Junwen's troops were preparing for an ambush here, Rosen took the initiative to find him. As Ye Junwen thought before, Rosen is the henchman of the former city lord Clovis, and of course he also knows about Selena, so he also knows that Ye Junwen is a fake. came to Ye Junwen, of course, to talk about this matter.
"Mademoiselle has already talked to me, and I probably know the ins and outs of the matter. It is impossible for a knighthood to fall into the hands of anyone else, and although this is a special case, I am still against it. Rosen said directly.
"Your objection is useless." Ye Junwen said lightly, "As long as Selena supports my identity, others can't shake it for the time being." ”
Ye Junwen is sure that Selena must have a back hand to let everyone know the identity of her city lord's daughter, of course, there is no problem, normal situation, even if you want to protect yourself, you have to keep this, he and Ye Junwen are not very familiar, it is certain to prevent a hand, but as long as Selena herself supports Ye Junwen, his identity can be maintained, although Rosen knows the truth, but even if he says it, it is estimated that it is difficult to count, unless he convinces Selena. However, looking at the current situation, the other party has not succeeded, and Selena should still support herself at present.
"I know." Rosen nodded, "So I didn't reveal your identity." ”
"Because I'm still working for the Clovis family, right?" Ye Junwen said, "In the current situation, you still need me, so I don't worry about what you do, but the problem is later." ”
Rosen's face was also gloomy.
"Let's put it this way, I'll help you, of course, for good, you should know I'm not a stupid person, right?" Ye Junwen said, "If I help you kill Lei Luo, there will be no other competitors for this earl title, and it will be more stable at that time, and you don't need me for the time being, there is no male heir, and it doesn't matter if Selena's female identity is directly announced." This is not what I want, so there are two paths in front of me. First, I don't solve Lei Luo, I just beat him to retreat temporarily, in this way, as long as the other party exists, you will always need me. Second, after dealing with Lei Luo, I'll kill you all by the way, so that no one will know about it again......"
"Is that really the case......" Rosen here was obviously worried about this matter and came to find Ye Junwen, and when he heard Ye Junwen's statement, his face was also dark.
"Of course, this is only a case of theoretical analysis." Ye Junwen said, "Maybe we have a third way, peaceful living and something like that." ”
"You mean that you have been pretending to be the city lord, and then married a young lady, so that the heir is still the blood of the Clovis family." "Logically speaking, it's not an unacceptable option, but ...... I don't really believe you. ”
"It's your business to believe it or not." Ye Junwen said lightly, "What do I say to make you believe, I think it's impossible, so let's wait until I finish off most of the other party's troops in a while, and I'll ask you again." If you're willing to get along with me, I'll continue to plan things on my own, and if not, I'll let this Lei Luo go first. But if you agree on the surface and then do what you're going to do, I'll have to do it to you, and hopefully that won't happen. ”
Lawson on the side of "......" was silent for a moment, and then nodded. After all, although Ye Junwen's plan seems to be good, there is no actual result, what will happen, he has to take a look at the situation.
So to the current situation, after solving Lei Luo's troops, Ye Junwen asked Rosen again. The other party expressed his allegiance, of course, he recognized his identity as the city lord, after all, he was originally a subordinate of the city lord. Then the other party meant to get along well, so Ye Junwen also told him that he hoped what he said was true, otherwise after solving Lei Luo, he might really have to deal with Selena and others.
"I'll keep an eye on you." At this time, a voice also came from the side, Ye Junwen turned his head to look, and the person who spoke was the female knight Ella. Yes, this ambush, Selena herself also came, of course, her escort Ella also came, after all, this is a critical battle, don't you say it's dangerous to stay in the city? Ye Junwen brought out all the city guards, if he loses, staying in the city is the same as waiting for death, so Selena also came, she herself seems to have a little martial arts, although it is not strong, but it seems that self-protection is enough.
But now Selena didn't show up, I don't know if Rosen deliberately avoided the other party to talk to him, it doesn't matter, Ye Junwen is not worried about what Selena says, otherwise he wouldn't say it clearly.
"Lord of the Castle!" At this moment, there was also a shout next to him, Ye Junwen turned his head and saw that it was the captain he had just appointed to report, it was estimated that the battlefield had been cleared and he was ready to go. After all, there are only about 150 people, and the whole team is also very convenient, and it doesn't take too long.
"Ready to go? Let's go. Ye Junwen waved his hand and said, "The target is Lei Luo's home formation." ”
The troops on Ye Junwen's side also directly changed into the clothes of Lei Luo's troops, and then walked back the way the other party's main formation came along the route they had taken. At this time, it was more than three hours before the other party set off, and it took them another three hours to walk to the south of Ledeska City, behind Lei Luo's troops.
At this time, the sky was also bright, and the horizon slowly shone brightly, although the moon was still hanging in the sky, but the surrounding vision was much better. At this time, Ye Junwen's troops, who were hurrying, were also in a little trouble, it was the scouts arranged by Lei Luo's troops, and the scouts of the other party did not go far when they arrived, but they set up a slight sentry near the camp to maintain a minimum vigilance.
It was clear that no one would have expected the troops in the city to go out to meet them, and suddenly appear from behind them. Seeing this group of people wearing their own army clothes, this scout did not suspect the identity of the other party, they knew that their troops had set off from that side before, but what they were going to do, I don't know, the transfer of troops is the general's business, and they can't ask, otherwise isn't there a suspicion of spying on the military intelligence? And when they saw the troops coming back, they went up without warning.
"You're ...... on your side"
"Do it." Seeing that the other party had already walked in front of him, Ye Junwen also gave an order, and the other party also sensed that something was wrong at this time, but it was too late, and several scouts were also taken down by the soldiers next to him in an instant, and they didn't have time to run at all.
After solving the two groups of scouts, they have already seen Lei Luo's home formation, and Lei Luo's side did not plan to fight for a long time, he planned to enter the city at dawn tomorrow, so the camp tent on his side was just a few tents set up casually, and there was no wooden fence or anything like that. Didn't his soldiers have already been on the road for a day before, and most of them are still resting, and the whole camp is very lax.
"Prepare to attack." Seeing that the distance was almost there, Ye Junwen also said directly, and then said to Rosen next to him, "I haven't forgotten the method I taught you to use just now." ”
"Do you think I'm an idiot?" Lawson couldn't help but say, and then picked up the bottle on the side as well. Yes, this bottle is actually the Molotov cocktail prepared by Ye Junwen here, which was used to deal with tigers, but it was not used, but now it can be used, but the number is limited, and he has prepared a total of ten, and he handed them all over to Lawson.
Lawson, who is said to be very good, seems to be a scout and a ranger profession. According to Ye Junwen's understanding, the ranger is a combination of hunters and thieves in general games, anyway, the agility is very high, and he can shoot arrows and stealth, and the other party has good skills and eyes, so it is best to hand over the matter of arson to him.
"Up! Offensive! Ye Junwen waved his hand directly, and all the soldiers rushed forward in this way, the previous big victory also brought morale to this group of reservists, and now that the morale is strong, they are also heroic.
"Kill!" The sudden shouting of killing made all the soldiers on Lei Luo's side a little confused, and before they could figure out what the situation was, they suddenly heard a "bang" sound, and their tent was on fire.
