"Recover, wait until Sophia is in good spirits and help us with a little healing, and then go back to town," Caterina said, "Locke promised a bounty, but I propose to give it to the families of the deceased as a bereavement." ”

"Hmm!" Sophia nodded heavily.

Leon was speechless for a while, he didn't have any money now, Katerina didn't need to mention it, and Sophia didn't seem to be a rich man, so it was okay to charge a little, at least as the cost of his journey out of Campbell......

He thought so, but nodded his head as well.

"It seems that there are a lot of people coming," Sophia said suddenly, the priest's perception was really different, and after he said this, Li Ang felt a slight tremor on the ground, while the knight girl was still at a loss.

As he spoke, a large cloud of dust rose from Locke's Boulevard that crossed the town, and the dense sound of horses' hooves followed, and it seemed that at least dozens of horses had entered Locketown from the other direction.

The three of them glanced at each other, and they all felt relaxed, and Caterina sighed, "Such a big momentum should be that reinforcements have arrived, and if you had come a little earlier, the situation would not have been so bad." ”

The sound of horses' hooves died down, and it seemed that they stopped, and then after a few minutes they sounded again, heading straight for the direction outside the town.

When the horses had turned the last corner and finally saw the battlefield, the grim image made them pause for a moment, and then approach at a faster pace.

There were at least 30 well-armed knights, neatly dressed in full light armor, with a long scabbard hanging from their waists, and their mounts were horses from the western territory of the Kingdom of Svir, and the most striking thing was that they were tattooed with shields on their left chests, representing the regular army status of the border guards.

As they approached the battlefield, the knights slowed down, and they silently passed one corpse after another, and some began to put their right hands into fists on their chests to salute the fallen mercenaries.

Soon three surviving men were spotted, and ten knights galloped in and surrounded them in the middle, paying attention to a man and two women half-seated on the ground with a look of curiosity and vigilance.

"Who are you?" asked one of the knights.

"We just helped Locke fight off the bandits," Leon said, suddenly realizing that it was really difficult to answer the question, he was not a townsman or a mercenary, and his true identity was difficult to say, and he looked more like an enthusiastic passerby......

"Only a few of you are alive, and the enemy is repulsed?" the knight softened his attitude, but continued to inquire out of duty.

Li Ang frowned, and his heart began to be a little angry, such a question is a bit excessive, I can't see that there are two people here who are seriously injured, even if there is any problem, it can't be treated first.

But he didn't want to argue too much, so as not to attract too much attention.

"Yes, the enemy's losses are too great to retreat," for some reason he always felt that it was a little inappropriate to tell the truth, and said that it was a half-truth, but fortunately neither Caterina nor Sophia raised any objections, and it seemed that for the time being, Li Ang was the first to take the lead.

Without waiting for the knight to respond, the person on the left hured a gap, and a middle-aged knight who seemed to have a different identity urged the horse in, with a white cloak tied behind his back, and two small swords side by side on his chest, probably at the level of the knight captain.

The middle-aged man's face was angular, his eyebrows were thick and short, and his eyes were sharp, and he looked like he had been on the battlefield for a long time, but he didn't say a word from beginning to end, silently observing Li Ang and the three people.

Finally, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said, "Name, origin." ”

This is even more than the person just now!

Li Ang couldn't help it, and said coldly: "We are not guarding Locke Town to be questioned by others after surviving, not to mention that the army that is late after the battle is not qualified to be questioned. ”

"Presumptuous!" the knights shouted angrily, and the horses choked by the reins spewed hot air, and their iron hooves slammed into the ground.

The middle-aged man stopped his subordinates' movements with a wave of his hand, he squinted his eyes and stared at Li Ang, his sharp gaze fell on Li Ang's face with a pinprick of pain.

From this point of view, the middle-aged man is not an ordinary character, and may even be several levels higher than the captain, and Leon's sarcastic words did not affect him in any way, he hooked his finger back and said, "Marcus is leaving the town, let him recognize these people." ”

The name seemed somewhat familiar, but Leon really couldn't remember who it was, and he nervously searched through the memory fragments to see if it was someone who knew him, and accidentally saw the hateful face of the logistics officer of the Locke Town Garrison Team.

It turned out to be him...... Li Ang, who didn't care about Marcus at all, had long forgotten about this despicable villain, but the sudden appearance of the other party at this time brought him a sense of danger.

Marcus took a few steps and looked at Leon intently, his eyes flickering for a moment, and then the corners of his mouth slowly curved upward.

He suddenly jumped back and said in a panic, "It's them! They ignored my stop and stormed the garrison with the mercenaries, stealing all the armaments and supplies!"

Marcus didn't say anything when he saw the middle-aged knight from the corner of his eye, his heart was cold, he knew that he couldn't stop it when Leon forced his way into the station, and he left Rock Town with hatred. The logistics officer has the duty to guard the armaments and materials at all times, and he has violated the rules of the garrison this time, even if there is an uncle who is a secretary in the third legion of the royal capital, it is estimated that he can only barely let him stay, and it will be even more difficult to save something, thinking of the large amount of gold coins sent to various key people in the early stage, Marcus's heart feels like he is dripping blood, as for whether the militia in Locke Town has the equipment to resist the bandits, he doesn't care at all, in his eyes, the mercenaries are all bluffing, just to ask for more remuneration from the townspeople。

So he hated Li Ang, gritted his teeth with hatred, and he went all the way to the royal capital, wanting to complain to his uncle.

On the way, he encountered a cavalry team, led by Luther Mill, the deputy commander of the Markburg Cavalry Brigade, who was notoriously jealous and hateful, and Marcus was so overwhelmed by his anger that he was distorting what had happened before.

Luthor had received a message asking for help to reinforce Locke, but didn't ask much, just motioned for Marcus to follow, and then continued to march towards Locke Town with his team.

He didn't pay attention to Marcus at all along the way, and only when he saw Leon and the three of them called him to his eyes for the first time, so there was the scene just now.

Marcus didn't know what the deputy commander was thinking, but at this moment, even if he wanted to retreat, it was impossible, and maybe he would be put on a reputation as a hero who had saved Locke Town, so the evil thoughts suddenly came to him, and he began to list the crimes for the other party.

"The lord has just met with misfortune, and the bandits took advantage of the chaos to sneak attack Rock Town, which is too coincidental! And this person's inexplicable arrival in Rock Town before the battle is itself very suspicious! I guess he still has a party among the mercenaries, yes! It's the people who went with him to grab the armaments, and the two women in the back, I have never seen them in Rock Town for several years, and they are ......"

Marcus rolled his eyes, and his tone turned to sadness and indignation, "There are more than twenty mercenaries here, and the outstanding young people in the town have also formed a militia, such a force will not be able to stop the attack of a small group of bandits?

More and more cavalry gathered, they quietly listened to Marcus's complaint, anger gradually appeared in their eyes, and their eyes began to look at Leon and the others unkindly, if it weren't for the deputy commander who hadn't spoken, they might have rushed up to question him.

There was a chaotic shout in the distance, and the townspeople who had been left behind knew that they were safe, and they went out empty-nested to find their relatives and friends, and then the whimpering sound continued to be heard.

Luther's face was gloomy, and he interrupted Marcus's impassioned accusation, lowered his eyelids, and said, "What do you have to justify?"

Since Marcus began to speak, Leon sneered and said nothing, he didn't speak, and the two girls behind him didn't speak, and the three of them silently watched the performance of the despicable villain.

Hearing Luther's question, Leon tilted his head to stare at him, and said indifferently: "Like a dog, no, such a metaphor will insult a dog, and a scumbag like him will really believe it?"

"Think about it with your brains," Leon swept over the faces of the nearby cavalry, ignoring the oppression caused by Luthor's great strength, "Thinking about it in light of what you see yourself, I have no interest in responding to the malicious accusations of the scum." ”

He knew that he should never offend the cavalry at this time, especially a strong person like a middle-aged captain. But Marcus's rumors were nothing, but the look in the eyes of the people around him made him extremely angry, such a lie really moved these soldiers? He felt unthinkable, so he was so angry that he didn't bother to explain the facts so clearly

In fact, because he got too little knowledge from the memory fragments of the aristocratic boy, the cavalry team in front of him was stationed in the border fortress all the year round, they were very enthusiastic and simple, in addition to training every day, the biggest "entertainment" was to go out to the edge of the Pale Mountains to kill the bandits and thugs who came over, and they hated these people the most, especially those who dared to kill so many innocent mercenaries and townspeople under their noses.

Marcus was the logistics officer of the garrison, and in their eyes he was his own person, and his words made sense in the hearts of the cavalrymen, so he was angry with the three of Leon.

Luthor still had a gloomy face after hearing Leon's words that he had almost given up defending himself, he nodded slightly, and several cavalrymen came out to surround the three young men.

"In that case, bring them back to Fort Mark," Luther's voice was stiff, "and I will give you a fair trial before France." ”
