Chapter Forty-Six: Tririan
Kane rode out early in the morning, as he had heard that the area around the territory had not been quiet lately, and that the patrol guards of Nowruvi had often clashed with Kane's guards. Nowruvia, who had grown rapidly since annexing most of Maca's territory, was constantly testing Kane, as if he was preparing to make a move.
Sure enough, these so-called nobles are not very reliable, like a vicious wolf that can't be fed, and one day will eat you up and wipe you clean. Kane felt it was time to let them know that this territory wasn't so easy to take, and put away their undeserved thoughts.
He went to the barracks with an elite team, and the team of light-armored knights followed Kane to the old tree where Maka's head had been hung, and sure enough, they saw a patrol of Nowruway engaged in a verbal altercation with Rand's patrol. Kane's adjutant shouted from afar, and when the patrolmen saw Kane's elite, they immediately froze, and he wanted to retreat.
Kane's team threatened them, and if anyone wanted to take a step back, they would be asked to shoot them through the heart. The men looked at each other, their faces bitter, and they stood there at a loss, and they were so frightened that they did not dare to take half a step back.
Kane asked them what had happened, and the patrol captain who saw that there was someone to support him immediately explained the situation, and in some places there were actions to explain the reason on the spot. When they said that the other party tried to cross the line and came in, they were caught, but they were still extremely arrogant, and instead of admitting their mistakes, they wanted to make a move.
The squad leader of the Noruvian patrol listened with a big head and wiped the sweat from his forehead. After hearing this, Kane looked at them with a gloomy face, and in the face of the overwhelming scene, the team leader still didn't dare to admit it directly. If they admit it, then they are probably really doomed.
The team leader said stiffly that they just entered unintentionally, not intentionally, and almost fought because they were slandered and wanted to theorize, but they did not persist and said those angry words in a fit of anger.
Kane resolutely does not believe this kind of statement, these guys have deliberately wandered around the territory of the land from time to time has happened several times, and today he must teach Nowruway a lesson, warning him that his behavior has touched Kane's bottom line. So Kane ordered the hapless guys to be beheaded and hung on the old tree.
The five bloody heads had a look of horror and regret on their faces. They swayed with the wind like wind chimes, but they couldn't make that crisp ringtone. After doing this, Kane led his team to patrol the territory again.
Tririan crossed the hill with a team of 100 people, and they rushed in the direction of Rand, the white-haired veteran Tririan had scars all over his face, as if telling the exploits of his life, and his triangular eyes were full of bloodthirsty killing intent. After being with him for most of his life, damaged and reforged countless times, this armor has completely changed.
Tririan was accompanied by the strange man who had appeared at the Deadwood Tavern the night before, and he told Tririan about the terrain and its layout. Under his leadership, Tririan was unimpeded all the way, and even the eyeliner of some patrol teams was perfectly avoided.
Suddenly, Tririan's team stopped, and a team appeared in front of him that wasn't supposed to be there. Kane looked at the never-before-seen invading army and looked warily at the other.
Kane didn't say anything, because the place wasn't good. He silently drew his long sword, and the knight behind him quickly drew his sword and made a fighting gesture like Kane.
Tririan recognized Kane, and it didn't take much effort to get it, and Tririan didn't even have to worry about finding someone. He shouted in a voice as rough as a crede, "Catch that little white face of the leader!" Go back and reward one person with a gold coin! ”
Tempted by the gold coins, they shouted enthusiastically, cheered themselves up, raised their swords and rushed towards the group of 100 people in front. Kane was not afraid at all and led the charge. The two armies fought together, and the sonorous sound was endless, and the sound of fighting on the battlefield drowned out the chirping of birds in spring. On the branches that pull out the buds, the yellow-feathered bird combs its feathers, and it is cheerfully waiting for the arrival of vibrant spring.
But a bloody battle is breaking out on the ground under the trees. Tririan is a veteran who followed Bailly in the southern and northern wars, and his army is also a division of tigers and wolves, and Kane's army is like a sheep facing a tiger in front of them, and is quickly defeated by this fierce army.
As a lord, Kane knew that he was the pillar of the territory, and if he fell, the territory might change hands. Therefore, Kane is very decisive to avoid this unfavorable situation first, run back to the territory and then bring in people to fight, the strength of the warriors is not comparable to the other party, then play crowd tactics with them, no matter what you say about your territory, you will not be defeated by this person.
Kane retreated with such thoughts, but Tririan kept staring at Kane, and his thoughts of action had been seen through. There's no way Tririan will let go of this good opportunity. There weren't many people he came with him this time, because he had already asked his scouts to investigate the situation here in advance, so he thought of using this amount of troops to play a sneak attack, and went directly to Kane's house to capture him alive.
Unexpectedly, before entering the depths of the land, he happened to run into Kane who came out to patrol, and there were only more than a hundred people with him, this was a golden opportunity, and Tririan would not let it go at all. At this time, if Kane is let go, and he has to send troops to fight hard afterwards, there will be a lot of losses.
Tririan snatched the crossbow arrow from the crossbow knight next to him, loaded the arrow, and focused on Kane. Kane, who was running backwards, suddenly felt a chill in his back, instinctively drew his sword back, and an arrow hit the sword. But before Kane could react, another arrow came, and Kane was shot through the shoulder by an arrow, but this could not stop his determination to retreat.
Enduring the pain, Kane ran without looking back. Tririan was amazed at Kane's patience, this situation could not be affected, he was such a terrible enemy, and he must not let the tiger go back. He continued to charge Kane, who was surprisingly accurate, firing two more arrows in quick succession that hit the target, the last of which hit the horse's leg and Kane fell off his horse.
Several quick-eyed knights rushed forward excitedly, their swords resting on Kane's neck, and if they dared to move, the sharp blades would cut through his neck. Faced with this situation, Kane was slightly flustered, but the other party did not execute him immediately, which also made Kane a little calmer. It shows that the other party still has bigger plans, and he still has room for negotiation.
Life can be bought, as long as the price is right. Tririan ordered Kane to be tied up and blindfolded with a cloth, and then a strong knight lifted him onto his horse and took Kane back the way he came. Along the way, Tririan didn't speak, and Kane begged that they could talk, and that he could pay a high price for his life, as long as he was willing to let him go.
But Tririan was still silent, his mouth was as hard as cold iron, and he just refused to speak. And not only him, but even the knights who followed him did not talk. If it weren't for the fact that he had just seen the bright red blood of humans flowing from them, Kane would have wondered if these guys were alive.
After some efforts to no avail, Kane also gave up the idea of communicating with them, these silent guys are just lackeys under some big man, they just carry out the will of their master. Kane cleared, maybe now it's not about how to communicate with these guys, he has to think carefully about whether he has offended any big guys.
Could it be that the nearby barons have joined forces to deal with him? It doesn't look like they don't have such a strong general, if they could have dispatched such a strong general, Marca would not have been easily killed by him, and Nowruwe would not have humbled to sue for peace. Maybe Rand was flattened by them at that time.
Rand! By the way, Kane only then remembered Rand. As a lord, he has somehow become a prisoner, so will his territory be occupied by people at this time? It was so strange that he couldn't understand why the magic array that Neroth had laid out didn't take effect. If the elemental guards of Nelus were involved in this battle, it might be difficult to say whether he would win or lose, at least he wouldn't become a prisoner.
Kane regretted in his heart, blaming that he couldn't let Nelus check it carefully again and test this magic array a few more times, which caused problems at this critical time.
But it was useless to regret it, he still had to try to remember who was the person who captured him.
If it's not the surrounding lords, who else would it be? You must know that he has Hammer's backing behind him, and he dares to ignore the people who arrested him... Could it be Kurt? As soon as this speculation appeared, Kane thought about it and decisively ruled it out. Although Kurt and Hammer are bitter enemies, they will not use this method to catch him as a small person, and he does not have a grudge against Kurt head-on, so this kind of trick of catching people is unnecessary.
If it weren't for Kurt, who would have a deep grudge against him? Kane cleared the memories in his mind again. Suddenly, a memory shook him, and a name appeared - Bol!
The genius son of Viscount Bailly was killed by Kane himself, and when he tried to kill someone, he ran away with a caba, which should have been his tip. When he returned, Kane told Welgin about it, and he said he would help with it, and it seemed that Bailly was only pretending to say yes at the time. This old guy is waiting for an opportunity!
But how dare he break his promise at the time? Did Bailly betray Hamer? It seems impossible, now that Hammer is almost the dominant family in the dynasty, Kurt is powerless to fight at all, and he has been breathless in front of the emperor with his back to Hammer, how can he accept Bailly to continue to provoke Hammer.
In this case, Bailly must have obtained Hamer's consent if he dared to do so.
Get Hamer's consent! A cool breath poured into Kane's chest from the outside in, and I became an outcast! That was his first thought. Bailly paid some condition for Hammer to allow him to do something to himself, to Rand.
Isn't he so worthless in Hammer's mind, Kane thought disappointedly. There was also a wave of hatred in my heart, hatred for Hamer, hatred for Bailly. But so what? Now he is just a lowly prisoner, and he will soon face the wrath of the father who lost his son. Isn't it long? Kane thought desolately.
