Chapter 134: Into the Mountains

Exewin came to the temporary command post, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw that Will and the others were already waiting, and there was a small iron pipe on the table in front of everyone, which was the eagle letter that had just been delivered from the earl.

"Believe you?" asked Exewin, as he sat down.

Everyone shook their heads, and Will put on that sanctimonious look again and said, "It's not a good habit to open other people's letters, right?"

Axevin didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, took out the letter, scanned it quickly, then put it on the table, and said, "The Earl's letter says that these captives are to be handed back to the king's disposal. Speaking of which, Exevin looked at the three mercenary leaders, and saw that all three of them had disappointed expressions on their faces.

Will and Prince sneered: "We have long said that only kings and earls have the right to dispose of these thieves, but some people want to make their own decisions without knowing the sky, and they don't look at their own pounds and taels, haha......"

The three mercenary leaders on the side heard this, their faces were red and white for a while, if it weren't for the other party being a nobleman, I'm afraid they would have taken the case a long time ago. Seeing this, Exewin could not help but feel a headache, as soon as these people were idle, they began to quarrel, and it seemed that they had to start a war as soon as possible, lest they cause trouble again.

"As for the seized property, the Count says that we can dispose of it ourselves. Exewin hurriedly threw this out so that they would not quarrel again. Sure enough, as soon as they heard the penny, several people immediately threw away the unpleasantness just now, and everyone looked at the female elf with bright eyes.

This time it was Prince who spoke first, and he said with a look of intransigence: "I have discussed with Will in advance about the distribution of property, and we have the heaviest burden in this battle, and if we hadn't fought to the death against the thieves, I am afraid that there would not have been a final victory, so we should distribute more." ”

Di Maru immediately retorted: "Lord Prince, it would be biased to say this, we have the most dead in this battle, and it is clear who contributed more at a glance, so we should give us more, otherwise how can we be worthy of the dead?"

"That's right, there are more people on our side who need pensions, so we should give us more. The other two mercenary leaders chimed in.

"We are knights, you are just mercenaries, and it is not your turn to distribute the spoils. Will slapped the table and shouted.

Exewin saw that several people were arguing, and his head throbbed for a while......

Three days later, the plan for the distribution of the spoils was finally finalized, the knights and the mercenary group each got forty percent of the booty, and the remaining twenty percent was distributed by Exewin, but the mercenaries and knights still didn't seem to be very satisfied with this plan, but they were able to accept it, Sawin and his men didn't get anything, and Sawin didn't have any dissatisfaction, which made Will and Dimaru and others feel a little incredible.

"Don't you think that's unreasonable, my lord, and we don't give us anything!" said Celia, indignantly.

But Sawin smiled slightly, and said to Celia quite meaningfully: "Don't worry, we have to fight against the elves next, and we will think about it when that time comes." ”

Celia looked at Savan in surprise, this seemingly extremely simple person would have such a time, could it be that his simplicity was all faked?

A few days later, the army moved again, and more than 300 soldiers marched deeper into the mountains, this time without holding a combat meeting or sending any scouts, as if everything had already been laid out.

Will, Dimaru and the others don't seem to have any objections, fighting with the elves is the first time for everyone, and it is really difficult to put forward personal opinions, so everyone can only give unconditional trust to Exewin, through the battle to exterminate the thieves, Exewin's command ability has been recognized by everyone.

The only one who expressed doubts about this was Celia, a girl from a knightly family, who said with a heartfelt voice: "This is completely arbitrary, even if she herself is an elf, it doesn't mean that she knows the elven tribe here very well, so I am deeply skeptical about this battle." ”

"Uh-huh...... I know, so you'll have to work harder when the war starts. Sawan said absentmindedly, now his mind was still on how to make money, last night Narros told his master that the previous generation of night bats knew the location of several treasures, maybe when the matter was over here, he could dig up those treasures, and then he could make a fortune......

Seeing that Sawin ignored her love, Celia snorted angrily and stopped talking to Savan. At this moment, there was a sudden noise in front of me, as if something was happening.

Sawan rushed forward with Celia and Narros, and saw a group of mercenaries and knights gathered together, and Sawin squeezed through the crowd into the circle, only to see a large section of branches on the ground. Sawin didn't understand what was so strange about a branch, so he asked, "What's the matter?"

A mercenary with a panicked look saw that it was Samin, so he said to Samin with a flushed face: "My lord, they don't believe me, please listen to me, I swear I really saw a moving tree just now, and I cut off this branch!"

"Haha, Foster, you're probably scared silly, you can really think of a moving tree!" everyone laughed, embarrassed the mercenary named Foster.

Sawan bent down and picked up the branch to look at it, only to see that the branch was still fresh, but the cut had indeed been cut by the sword brush. Sawin didn't know if he was lying, so he asked, "Where is that moving tree?"

The man looked around for a moment, and said with some hesitation: "It was still here just now, and then it ran away in a blink of an eye, it shouldn't be fast, probably that ...... Maybe it's the ......" Foster began to be a little incoherent, and the ridicule of the people around him became louder.

The commotion drew Axevin to the crowd, and the crowd was immediately quiet. "What's wrong, what's going on?" said the crowd again, but this time the laughter was much quieter.

Axeven's face became solemn after listening to everyone's introduction, and she waved her hand and said to everyone: "Everyone disperse, don't gather here anymore, rest on the spot for a while." The crowd laughed and dispersed, and the mercenary named Foster looked at Exewin with an embarrassed expression, not knowing what to do.

Exewin said to Foster: "Don't tell anyone else about this. ”

"But...... I did see it...... I ......," Foster stammered.

"I understand, I know you're not lying, go and rest first. Exewin didn't intend to reveal anything more to him, and quickly sent the mercenary away.

Sawin knew there must be something going on, so he lowered his voice and asked, "What the hell is going on?"

Exewin looked left and right to make sure no one else would hear, so he whispered, "It's a tree man, I didn't expect there to be a tree man in this place." ”

"Treants, what's that?" asked Savan in surprise.

"It's a moving tree, an ancient inhabitant of the forest. Exewin smiled bitterly: "Let's hope they won't intervene in our war." ”

Sawin had never heard of a tree moving, so he was intrigued and asked, "Can you let me see a tree man?" ”

Exewin pondered for a while and said, "I think it's better not to see them, otherwise this battle will be difficult to fight......" Savin didn't expect Exewin to refuse, so he walked away stupidly.

That night, while Savin was sleeping in his tent, a dark figure came in.

"Lord, Lord, wake up......" Narros shook Sawan vigorously, and with great difficulty pulled him out of his sleep.

Sawan rubbed his sleepy eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"

"There is a situation, Lord. Narros whispered.

After leaving Exewin during the day, Sawan immediately called Naros and asked her to keep an eye on Axeven, and if she acted alone, she would report herself immediately.

Sawan followed Narros out of the tent, and the two cautiously reached out of the camp, and under Narros's leadership, the two of them bypassed the sentry soldiers and plunged into the dense forest. Narros led Savin all the way into the depths of the forest, only to see that everything seemed so dark that it was surrounded by tall towering trees, and the dense canopy of them covered the sky.

I don't know how long she walked, but she suddenly stopped, and then pointed ahead, and Sawan carefully brushed aside the grass, only to see that in front of her was a clearing in the woods, and a man was standing in the middle of the clearing in the moonlight, not who Exewin was. Exewin tilted his head as if he was talking to a large tree, which stood upright, and looked very quiet in the moonlight.

Sawin thought to himself, "What is Axevin doing, why is he talking to himself to a tree?"

Vaguely, Sawin heard Exewin talking in a language he didn't understand at all, and there seemed to be a plea in his tone, and Savin suspected that Axivin was praying. Sawan looked at Naros beside him and was about to open her mouth to speak, but Naros put her finger to her lips and motioned for Savin not to speak.

Sawin had no choice but to turn his gaze back to Exewin, who had stopped speaking by this time, and the tree in front of her was slowly moving, making a "creaking" sound all over her body, like the sound of a branch being oppressed.

Sawan was so shocked that he almost screamed, there really are moving trees in this world, and the legendary tree people really exist!
