Thinking of the conditions that the pioneers of the Kingdom of Elis suffered, their excellent equipment, and the endless new wealth that they possessed, the hearts of the three brothers were filled with enthusiasm. Mount, hope to be able to rush to the outpost as soon as possible.

According to their predictions, if these troops had stolen the city by night yesterday, they would have failed and fled in a panic by now.Everyone knew about the defense of the outpost. The three of them even supervised the farmers and participated in the construction of Luchai and part of the city wall in the east city.

It's fine if the army of the Kingdom of Elis doesn't attack the city, at most it's a waste of some horse's energy, as long as they dare to try to attack the city, they will definitely be greeted with a disgraceful failure.Not to mention these four or five hundred people, even if King Elis came with 10,000+ people in person, the outpost could still rely on its own defense system for a week or even longer.If he didn't plan to spend several times the elite defenders in exchange, the lunatic king could only stare at the strong and towering city walls in a daze.

What excited the three brothers the most was that most of the defenders at the outpost were infantry, with few horses, and it was just dawn, so the defenders probably didn't dare to go out of the city in large numbers.The three of them can rely on three horses to come from behind and catch up behind a certain hurried Ellis vanguard team. ——The three brothers didn't want to kill more enemies, they just wanted to follow behind to pick up more equipment.Regardless of whether these people failed to attack the city and escaped, or they did not dare to attack the city and continue to march, the situation of their team must be worse than yesterday.It would be even better if we could meet lone cavalry at that time. If the three brothers could capture a horse and a suit of armor...

Along the way, the three brothers discussed various possibilities about this army while they were on their way, imagining a bright future.When their horses had been running until they were almost out of strength, they finally began to approach the outpost.The boss took the lead in climbing up a nearby hill and looked towards the outpost, hoping to confirm as soon as possible whether the other party was under the city or had already left.

But the boss saw nothing.

Nothing, nothing to see.

Neither King Elis' army nor the defenders of the outpost saw it.

To be more precise, even the outpost camp and the city walls of the outpost are no longer visible...

It used to be the place where the city wall of the outpost was supposed to be. From the hill, only a dark thing can be seen now, and there are no guarding and patrolling soldiers on it, let alone the baron's family flag.

Uncertain - 80.00% frightened and 20.00% suspicious - the three brothers controlled the horse and approached the blackness cautiously.

The air is filled with the faint scent of burnt wood and the burnt smell of burnt grains. Among these smells, there is a hint of obvious blood.

The smell made the boss draw out his knife vigilantly, and slowed down his pace.But soon they knew that their vigilance was unnecessary, because they saw the whole row of corpses outside the door, and the horseshoe marks of a large group of people leaving.

The second child soon found some of their most familiar faces among the corpses. Hawthorne, the baron's youngest son, was also the chief of the outpost.Beside him, there are also several personal soldiers specially assigned to him by his father.Their armor is there, but their swords are gone.

The boss carefully inspected their armor, but found no traces of battle. Their bodies only had throat wounds, which were obviously cut open from behind.Most of the corpses here look like this, and a small number of corpses can't see the incision, only a deep small hole is found in the chest.

As for the outpost, it has now been completely burned down.The outermost wooden wall is now a pile of coke on the ground, and most of the food and weapons stored in it have also been burned.

In these fires, they found the fragments of several bodies - the three brothers felt chills looking at these bone fragments.The enemy is indeed a lunatic, these corpses were completely torn apart by something.The boss even saw a piece of bone completely broken from the middle, not interrupted, nor cut, but completely broken—as if a giant had completely crushed the owner of the skeleton with his hands.

The youngest, who had always looked down on these Elisians, searched nervously on these corpses, hoping to find traces of these people's battles.But no, except for those few unfamiliar holes, none of these people had battle wounds on their bodies.

The second child immediately thought of the legend about this new land god from the Kingdom of Elis—it was an interesting story told to them by a businessman from the Kingdom of Elis when he passed by their castle.

Legend has it that the land god sent four envoys to this land, and each envoy possessed a priceless treasure.The first treasure is a bag that can pour out endless flour; the second treasure is a pair of divine eyes, which can be used to see a water source in the ground; the third treasure is a book from the gods, in which You can see all the past, present, and future scenes; the fourth treasure is the whistle from the gods. It is said that after you blow it, you can hear any sound you want to hear.

The other three brothers were hard to imagine, but now that they thought about those divine eyes, they had indeed seen them.Although I didn't see this envoy leading people to dig a well along the way.But since the divine eye is real, maybe the other three things are also real, and maybe this divine envoy has other magic weapons besides these.Just like the scene in front of them—other than using some kind of magic weapon and asking God to help them take down the outpost, they couldn't imagine how they could march in the dark one night with only one cavalry, and then make another attack. Without anger, he directly broke through a city that was on full alert in advance.

Although this is not a castle, all the walls are more than two people high, and there are wooden spikes at the bottom of the walls, which act as obstacles to prevent climbing and digging.As for the city gate, it was completely covered with iron sheets, and a whole pine tree trunk was used as the door bolt inside.When the door bolt fell, let alone cavalry, even with a battering ram, there was no way to quickly break open the door.What is even more incredible is that the three brothers did not find any siege equipment around the outpost.

From these corpses, the three brothers could hardly imagine the whole battle—the army approached the outpost in the dark, and then only suddenly, the gate or the city wall was breached.Before the defending troops could even react, the resistance of the entire outpost was terminated, and all remaining defenders surrendered to the sudden superiority of the enemy - and then they were killed, and the sentries they were guarding were also destroyed. burnt.This cavalry didn't even stay here for a moment, and didn't even bother to clean up the battlefield, leaving like a ghost.

Looking at these familiar and unfamiliar horseshoe marks, the boss felt chills running down his spine.

If they hadn't been sent out of the outpost...

If they really try to find five teams to sneak in at night...

If they really believed what the third brother said and went to steal the equipment...

It is probable that they too are now among the corpses.

"Third brother," the boss said slowly after careful consideration, "This time you go back and report, you must meet Lord Baron in person and tell him what happened here..."

"Second brother, you can ask the surrounding farmers to see if you can get more information..."

"I'll continue to follow. I'll leave a mark along the way. My second son, go and report the news you've heard before you're done. Come find me."

"Remember, if you see them, keep the furthest distance..."

"Ready to escape at any time..."

"Save the horsepower for the journey..."

"Don't buckle the leather armor too tightly. When it's critical, nothing matters more than your life..."

The boss explained it piecemeal for a full half an hour, and the two brothers were no longer impatient, and nodded solemnly to confirm each item.

After explaining everything clearly and saying to each other to cherish each other several times, the three separated again.

In the afternoon, the boss saw the vanguard of the Kingdom of Elis again along the trail.

Just like the previous two days, when he cautiously poked his head out from a rock behind a mountain, ready to observe them, he also saw that familiar envoy holding divine eyes was moving towards him. Look over here.

As if he had been waiting for himself.

This made the boss feel his heart beating so hard, he raised his head abruptly, staring at the sky anxiously, every white cloud above seemed to be the eyes of a god looking down on him, making his hair stand on end.

But this envoy was still the same as before, he didn't send troops to expel him, but let him see the entire team generously.

The boss saw that many people in the team were cleaning their armor, and the soldiers were shouting happily, which was completely different from the silent army two days ago.If what he felt from this army in the past two days was worry, uneasiness, and fear, then now there is only excitement.

The soldiers and officers seemed to be instilled with infinite self-confidence. The boss could still see many soldiers quarreling with each other before. Although their attitude towards the envoy was always respectful, it could occasionally be seen as superficial, but now— —When these people had dinner before they set off, the boss even saw the knight commander kneel down and offer food to the envoy.

Even for lords, bishops, and even kings, such etiquette is still too grand.

When the second and third child arrived, it was almost evening, and the army in front of them had already rested, and they were packing up their tents and preparing for the march.The second child brought a new order from the lord this time—let them follow this army closely tonight and find out how they can break through the outpost.

If it was possible - if it could be made possible!The Angel who killed them!

This order came not only from the baron, but also from a bishop of Xiaoyangjiao diocese who came to supervise the battle. This bishop promised them that if they completed this glorious mission, they would let everyone of the three brothers, Both get the equivalent of a baron's territory.

If they were able to bring back the heretic envoy captive, the bishop could even promise to let them meet King Louis and the Pope of the Xiaoyang Sect, and personally receive a greater reward and be awarded the title of Hero of Jihad.

When the Elisians left again, the three brothers followed cautiously, closely following the horseshoe marks.

This time they did not go into the camp again to search for any belongings they might have left behind. ——Not because of the promise of the bishop, but because of deep fear.

The marching direction of these Elisians today is a castle.

It's not a sentry battle of wood, and the defenders are not only in their early hundred.

But a real castle.

This is a real fortress, with huge stone walls built one by one, a wide moat, metal gates and more than 300 soldiers in armor.All the surrounding farmers gathered in the castle, and they will also be assigned weapons tonight to be responsible for the defense of the fortress.

Neither the second nor the third thought that these Elisians would continue to attack the city, because common sense told them that such a castle could no longer be conquered by manpower, except for plague and famine, no force could break such a fortress.Even if it is tens of thousands of troops, they can only watch and sigh, besieged for a long time.

But the boss had a faint premonition. Judging from the unabated marching speed of these Elisians following this way at night, they obviously went straight to the castle-the success of last night seemed to give this team The army is almost insolently confident.
