After rounding the village with a few cavalrymen to make sure there were no more enemies, Gehr came to an open clearing not far from the village in a forest of trees dyed golden by the sun, and met the only thirty or so survivors of the village.

Following the guidance of the watchful hunter, Gell walked out of the woodland, turned over and dismounted, and came to the poor people.

Like the people who had destroyed their homes before, these people were haggard and scattered in the glades - the old people and women were in the outermost part, and the children were gathered in the middle, the women and children were better, most of the old people had scars of varying degrees, although they had been bandaged a little in Mankizi, but the white cloth with blood stains still looked a little shocking.

An old man who looked to be about fifty or so greeted him, it was an age that was about to enter his twilight years, his hair began to turn gray, and wrinkles could not be concealed on his face, but the old man's body was still burly and straight, and the muscle outline was clear and strong, it can be seen that at a young age, this old man was also a good hand.

He wore a blue coarse cloth shirt, the dye of the clothes was indigo dye, which is special to Blue Leaf Village, and some conspicuous copper wires were tattooed on the collar, showing that his identity was different.

"Hello Lord Knight, I am Senede, the head of Blue Leaf Village, and I would like to pay my respects to you on behalf of the villagers and thank you for your help in saving us from the hands of these skin beasts. ”

Seeing Gehr, the old man respectfully took off his hat, buried his head, and solemnly bent down to salute.

Gehr glanced at Senede, nodded slightly, and looked at the other party. Waiting for the village chief to continue to indicate his origin, his demeanor is not rude, but also highlights his status that is a cut above him.

Gehr's identity at the moment is a noble knight appointed by Sylvia himself, and maintaining this status is of great benefit to him at this time, so Gehr also uses this identity to contact these people of Haysting, and this identity is conducive to his prestige among these people.

"May I ask the knight, can you take us poor people with you?" Senede was not the slightest surprise at Gehr's non-expression, compared to the noble knights in Bern, whose eyes were above the top, Gehr's attitude was already good. Moreover, the homeland has been destroyed, even if Gehr has a bad attitude, Senede will be careful to flatter the other party, after all, the safety of their old and young has been pinned on this heroic knight.

"You've been a soldier?" Gell looked at Senede's rough hands, wounded and calloused. It doesn't look like it's made out of farm work, but it looks like it's formed by long-term mastery of weapons. He asked casually.

"Yes. Knight, when I was young, I participated in the king's army of expanding the border. Senede replied cautiously, but with a hint of pride in his tone.

"We're fighting these cultists, and there are some people who, like you, have lost their homes, and you can join us if you want, but except for the children. Others have to work, and someone like you, who has combat experience, must also be involved in fighting if necessary. ”

"Thank you for your generosity, Lord Knight. Senede hurriedly bowed deeply. Gehr's offer had greatly exceeded his expectations, he had been to many places, but he had never seen such a generous nobleman.

"Go down, rest for a while, and I'll let you know when we set off. Gehr nodded, looked at the villagers, and felt quite stable emotionally, among the villagers rescued, these people's mental condition was already the best, and it seemed that Senede's ability was not bad—at least in terms of calming his emotions.

"Wait, sir, I have one more request. Gehr was about to leave, but Senede quickly stopped him, "Can you leave these thugs who destroyed our homes to us?"

"Yes. Gehr looked at Senede, the old man's eyes filled with pleading. "But you have to wait a while, my people still need to get some information from them, and I will give it to you after saying hello. ”

"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir......" Geer's "generosity" made Senede keep thanking him repeatedly.

With the village chief's thanks, Gehr stepped aside, leaned against his mount, which was leisurely munching on the grass, patted its snorting head, and looked through the layers of dense jungle in front of him to the rolling hills outside.

Now they just have an advantage that has not been discovered by those invaders, according to the collection and summary of intelligence during this time, it can be known that the strength of the two sides is not at the same level at all, even if those invaders send a detachment over, it is not the strength of Geer's side that can stop it.

And as we get closer to the heart of Melzai, more and more refugees are encountered, and as the ranks of refugees continue to expand, the logistical and covert pressures begin to become heavier.

"In the end, it was Merzai who decided the winner. ”

"Your Excellency. ”

Gehr turned his gaze away, it was Fenos.

The young hunter walked briskly. "It's been taken care of. ”

"Good. Looking at the young hunter with no dried blood on his face, Gell nodded in satisfaction. I don't know if it's a talent or the stimulation brought to him by these invaders, during this time, Fenos has shown that in addition to his extraordinary interrogation skills, those prisoners of war handed him over, he can always get what they want in their mouths, and this time is no exception.

"I'll take care of the rest?" a bloodthirsty smile appeared on the young hunter's face, licking his somewhat dry lips.

"No, leave it to them. Gehr gestured to Senede, who was standing to the side, constantly looking around. "They need it more than you do. ”

"It's a pity. Fenos shrugged. "But that's fine. ”

The young hunter walked straight to Senede, and after a brief conversation, he saw the village chief walking back to the refugees and saying something. After a short time, except for two women, who were left to watch the children, the rest of the refugees followed Fenos to a corner of the jungle.

It didn't take long for an inhuman howl to sound, and with his superior hearing, Gehr could still hear the sound of the stone being masked against the flesh in the howl, the crisp sound of bones breaking.

Gehr's mind immediately appeared in the scene of the intruder who had been dealt with by the villagers, and at the end of the day, all that was left was a pile of rotten meat.

Then there was some noisy howling.

"You brutes killed my husband!"

"Demon! He killed my child!"

"Kill them, the house will be burned!"

"Bite these intruders!" after a brief silence. A heart-rending howl erupted from where the refugees were, and Geer could imagine the distorted expressions on their faces at that moment.

The screams of the terrible people kept coming, and there was a sound similar to a wild beast swallowing a piece of meat, and soon several horsemen ran out with ugly faces, obviously the tragic situation on the scene was beyond the scope of these warriors who could not change their faces even on the battlefield.

It lasted for more than ten minutes, and the screams finally became inaudible.

It was about half an hour before the sound of dense footsteps turned back, and Gehr turned his head to see Senede approaching. The old man's chest was wet with a large piece of clothing, but some of the freshly stained blood still hadn't been washed off, and a faint smell of blood surrounded him.

When he came to Gehr's side, Senede didn't say anything, but solemnly performed the etiquette of kneeling on one knee. Then silently turned around and returned to the refugee's side.

"Done?" said Gehr, turning his gaze to Fenos to the side.

"It's all good. ”

"Well, you take these refugees with you. ”

"Yes. My lord. ”

Gehr looked around. Then he got on his horse and gave a loud order: "Go!"

......

The destination of Gehr's group was a hidden valley about three hours away.

Entering the secret entrance guarded by several secret sentinels, Geer and his party entered this quiet valley surrounded by greenery, which has become a large refugee camp at this time, and with the refugees from Lanye Village brought back by Gehr this time, the number of refugees has grown to four or five hundred. Scattered in all corners of the valley, it brings a lot of life to this place.

Leaving the refugees in the hands of specialized personnel for resettlement, Gehr led Mankizi and Fenos deeper into the valley, in a hollow in a stone wall. Found a large black tent - the trophy of a previous battle, as the best accommodation at the moment, naturally occupied by important women such as Sylvia.

When Ger saw Lucarin, she was busy with a few men on the ground in the middle of the tent, and a rough but detailed sand table had been built, with stone chips of various shapes, marking the vicinity of Merzai.

After entering, Fenos went directly to the edge of the sand table and recounted the latest intelligence information he had obtained, and after a while, there were a few more markers on the sand table.

"How's it going, Gilvia?" greeted Sylvia.

"Annihilated a small detachment and rescued more than thirty refugees, and there were no men in the prime of life. Gehr replied succinctly.

Hearing this, the young princess's expression was a little gloomy. "Regardless, it's good to have one more life. ”

Gehr nodded, and by the way, he greeted the goddess officer sitting on a stretcher in the corner. In less than two months, the heroic goddess could not show her heroism on the battlefield again, but it seemed that she didn't care about it, or that she cared that others couldn't see it, just nodded slightly, responded very calmly, and continued to pick up a copy of Ingrid's teachings and read it.

"Gehr, come on. Lucarin's voice rang out.

Gehr walked over.

"Our food is already insufficient, in order to ensure secrecy, our food collectors can't run too far, almost everything that can be collected nearby, plus the one you brought back today, it can last three days at most. Luccaren grimaced and reported a not-so-good news.

"Must be transferred?"

"Yes. ”

"Is there a suitable target for that?" asked Gell calmly.

"Well, the situation in the vicinity is already clear, and after we researched it, we felt that this place was the most suitable target. ”

Gehr followed Lucarin's slender fingers to the sand table, and in the direction of the finger was a stone tablet with the words "Elebrock" engraved in Konatas. (To be continued......)
