Blood Lord of War

Chapter 118
After a round of face-to-face riding and shooting by the deer cavalry, the spear formation of the logistics team collapsed immediately, and the remaining soldiers and civilian husbands scattered in a hurry. Under the vast night, a group of people fled eastward.

Tess led the team to catch up, how could the two legs of these rout soldiers run faster than the four legs of the elf deer, and within a few breaths, the half elves overtook them.Fifty deer cavalry were like a scimitar, thrusting horizontally in front of the fleeing crowd.

"Don't move! Runners die!" Tess raised her saber and shouted loudly.

Being blocked, the civilians of the logistics team stopped immediately. Many of them wanted to escape. The half-elf raised his hand and shot an arrow, which hit one of them in the back. The other civilians saw it and showed fear , dare not run away again.

"Did you see? Those who escaped died, those who stayed, I can keep you alive, all of you squat down and put your head in your hands!" Tess yelled sharply.

The prisoners immediately squatted in the grass, fearing that if they squatted too slowly, they would lose their lives again.

In fact, there were more than 300 captives in total, several times the number of deer cavalry. If they were determined to run away, Tess would not be able to capture them all.

Looking over these captives, Tess couldn't help showing a happy smile on her beautiful face. She thought with joy: Not only did she complete the task perfectly, but also captured so many captives. Now the Lord Baron will definitely praise me.

……

Baron led the defeated army and walked eastward for another day, only after making sure that there were no pursuers behind did he dare to stop and set up camp.

At this time, there were less than 400 troops around him. Some of the rest died on the battlefield, some were captured, and many escaped during the retreat.

This is a huge fiasco. Baron has been in the wasteland for so long, and has never experienced such a disastrous defeat.He sat in the tent, listening to the officer under his hand report the loss, and every time the officer said a word, his heart would drop a drop of blood.

Baron had a gloomy face, and while listening to the officer's report on the battle damage, he asked the doctor to bandage the arrow wound on his shoulder.Although the arrow had been pulled out, the effect of the lightning had not completely disappeared, and half of his body was still numb.Baron could only keep operating the battle energy in his body, trying to counteract the remaining electric current in his body.

He didn't know that Robin had the blood of Titans, so he only thought that Robin could use the rare Thunder and Lightning Dou Qi.

After the officer's report was over, a personal guard standing guard at the entrance of the camp came in to report: "My lord, the logistics captain responsible for transporting the rations from the Wind Castle has returned. They seem to have encountered an ambush."

Baron's face became even more gloomy in an instant: "Let him in."

The captain walked into the tent in disgrace, immediately knelt down in front of Baron with a plop, and burst into tears: "Lord Baron, I'm damned, I'm guilty, we were attacked by enemy cavalry, and all the rations were lost."

"You came back alone?" Baron looked down at him and asked coldly.

"Yes, I'm the only one." The captain replied, lying on the ground, weeping.

Baron took a deep breath expressionlessly, and seemed to lose all his strength at once, and collapsed on the chair like a puddle of mud.

He was silent for a while, and then said in a low voice, "Drag it out, cut it off."

The logistics captain immediately raised his head in horror, crying and begging for mercy: "My lord, please spare my life, I am still useful, I can still kill the enemy..."

The guards on both sides didn't listen to his ramblings at all. One of them grabbed his arm and dragged him out of the tent.

After the logistics captain was dragged away, Baron sat quietly on the chair, suddenly became angry, spit out a mouthful of blood, and fell off the chair.

"My lord!" The guards on the side hurried forward and helped the slimy Baron up.

Baron's mouth was covered with blood, he stared in the direction of Raging Waves City, his red eyes were almost bleeding.Like a man-eating beast, he said viciously, "Robin, as long as I'm still alive, I will definitely kill you!"

……

Baron led the defeated army back to Wind Castle. He took away 1000 people when he set out, but there were less than 400 people when he returned.

The news of his defeat spread quickly to Rose Castle, and two days later, Vaughn Golden Rose came to Wind Castle.

In a large hall of the Wind Castle, Baron knelt down on his knees like a defeated dog, with his head pressed against the cold ground.

Vaughn was standing in front of him, hitting Baron's back with his cane, once, twice, three times... Each time there was a dull sound.

Baron was naked from the upper body, his back was soon bruised and purple, the arrow wound on his shoulder was also torn open, and the gauze was stained red with blood.He was sweating profusely from the pain, but he still clenched his teeth tightly and didn't dare to say a word.

After hitting more than a dozen times in a row, perhaps because he was tired, Vaughan stopped.He let out a breath, took two steps back, sat on the chair, picked up the wine glass on the table next to him, took a sip, poured out the anger in his throat, and asked, "How did you lose?"

Baron slowly raised his head. His face was as pale as paper, but his eyes were still determined, and his voice trembled slightly. He replied, "I suspect that the highlanders and half-elves under Robin are all Awakened."

Vaughan put down his wine glass, picked up his cane, and slapped Baron on the face again, knocking Baron to the ground.

"Are you trying to say that Robin is a small pioneering baron, but he has an awakened army under him? It's just nonsense!" Vaughan frowned slightly, with anger on his face.

"Make excuses for your incompetence, Baron, you have disappointed me so much. Because of your incompetence, I was reprimanded again in front of my lord father."

Baron struggled to get up, and raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth: "I am very sorry, Master Vaughn, I know that I have made an unforgivable mistake, and as an honorable knight, I should kill myself in front of you immediately. The reason why I have not died is because I judge that my life is still valuable to you. Although I have lost the battle, the wind castle is still there, and I can turn defeat into victory!"

Having said that, Baron slammed his head on the hard stone floor, making a muffled bang.

"Please give me another chance, Master, I am willing to prove my worth!" Baron shouted loudly.

Vaughan took out a white handkerchief from his pocket, wiped the blood on the cane, which was stained when he beat Baron, and threw the bloody handkerchief in front of Baron.

"Father also said that keeping you may be of some use. The wind castle is the heart of our family, so we can't just let Xueying destroy it. When I set off here, my father had already sent someone to negotiate with Xueying In short, let’s stop this war first.”

Baron raised his head, with a worried expression on his face, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Go to negotiate with Xue Ying? Young master, Baron Robin is not a vassal of the Xue Ying family. I am worried that he will not listen to Xue Ying."

Vaughn couldn't help being taken aback when he heard this, and then laughed disdainfully. He felt that Baron's words were simply fantasy: "Baron, are you scared of being beaten by Robin? Robin is a little baron, he may disobey The words of Duke Xueying? How could you have such a strange idea?"

Baron thought for a while, and then replied in a deep voice: "I don't know either. I have fought against him, and I just have a feeling that this man doesn't seem to listen to anyone."

Vaughan frowned in dissatisfaction: "Baron, you can't do this. If you have been frightened by Robin, how can I trust you in the future?"

Baron suddenly realized that what he said just now was very absurd, he hurriedly knocked his head on the ground again, and hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, young master, I was just in a daze, that's why I was talking nonsense, please don't Take it to heart."

"Okay, I've already said what I need to say, you can do it yourself. I'm leaving, so you don't have to send it away." Vaughn said, walking past Baron with a cane.

"Please go slowly, master."

Baron still knelt on the ground respectfully, until Vaughan walked out of the lobby and the footsteps disappeared completely, and he slowly raised his head.

The maids on both sides immediately helped him up, and sat on the chair that Vaughan had just sat on.

Baron kowtowed so hard just now that his forehead was bleeding.He collapsed on the chair, staring angrily at the front, his face was gloomy, and he couldn't help hating Robin even more in his heart.

Damn Robin, if it wasn't for you, how could I have been reprimanded by Master Vaughan like this, which made me lose face with the Duke.

He began to plan in his heart, and when he breathed a sigh of relief, he must organize an even bigger army, and vowed to trample Rage City to the ground!
……

【Snow Eagle Castle】

The female knight Helen walked quickly in a long corridor, with a joyful smile on her delicate face, and even her steps became brisk.The reason why she was so happy was that Robin had won a beautiful and big battle.

Walking to the door of the Duke's office, she first tidied up her appearance, and then knocked on the door.

"It's Helen, come in." The Duke's voice came from inside the door.

When Helen walked into the office, she saw Augustus, the Duke of Snow Eagle, sitting behind the desk with a serious expression on his face.

"My lord duke, Robin fought really well this time. He has less than 200 men, and they are both highlanders and half-elves. Just such a group of miscellaneous cards, they beat Baron's thousand coalition troops to nothing. , It's really amazing, I can't tell, this Robin is actually a military genius!"

Helen was so happy, as soon as she entered the door, before Augustus could speak, she praised Robin endlessly.It can be seen that the straightforward Helen is really happy for Robin.

Augustus showed a calm smile and said: "Robin did play very well. His victory effectively curbed the expansion of Golden Rose in the wasteland. I called you here today to talk about him. "

Helen also came back to her senses at this time, realizing that she seemed to have lost her composure just now, so she quickly put on a serious expression and asked, "Please tell me, Your Excellency the Duke."

Augustus said: "I have reached an agreement with the Golden Rose family. This war can be stopped. You can tell Robin not to pursue Baron."

Helen showed a surprised expression: "Why didn't you fight? Isn't it a good time to eliminate Baron in one fell swoop?"

Augustus showed a smug smile, and it seemed that the negotiation with Golden Rose was very smooth: "Golden Rose has offered enough conditions, let go of a Baron, and we can get better."

Helen frowned, thought for a moment, and then said, "I understand, Your Excellency, but Baron Robin may not agree. He definitely wants to get rid of Baron to avoid future troubles."

"There should be nothing to worry about." Augustus carried the confidence of a prince. "He's just a baron, can he still disobey my orders?"

After speaking, Augustus thought for a while, and then continued.

"However, thanks to Robin's beautiful battle, I was able to get what I wanted at the negotiating table. He should be rewarded properly. Helen, go and get two thousand gold coins and send them to Robin. .If he has other requests, as long as they are not too excessive, they will be granted."

It could be seen that Duke Snow Eagle was very happy.

But Helen's face was still clouded, and she asked again: "My lord, if Robin insists on refusing to end this war, will he continue to fight? What should we do?"

Augustus was taken aback by the question. He hadn't considered this question. In his mind, he was the ruler of the Northern Territory. Robin should be grateful to Dade for being favored by him. He had never considered a small baron. Will not listen to myself.

But since Helen asked here, Augustus thought for a while and said: "If Robin doesn't obey the order, then tell him that Snow Eagle will stop all assistance to him, and then he has to fight by himself." down."

Knight Helen bowed and saluted: "I see, Your Excellency the Duke."

……

Robin has been preparing for the expedition to Wind Castle for the past few days. Although he has taken troops out before, this time the military operation is different from the past.

In the past, when they traveled far away, they had built camps of some wilderness natives. They didn't have any decent city defense at all. At most, they erected a circle of wooden stakes around the tribe, barely counting as a wall.

Baron's Wind Castle is completely different. According to scout reports, the Wind Castle was built on the scale of a military fortress at the beginning of its construction. The entire city was built on a high ground, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack relying on favorable terrain.

A city wall nearly five meters high was built around the Wind Castle. It was a city wall in the true sense, not a simple wall made of wood like Raging Waves City. , Soldiers can still walk on the wall.

In the entire western wilderness, the defense system of Wind Castle is definitely second to none.

It was also the first time for Robin to attack such a military fortress, so he had to be cautious, and all the military supplies had to be prepared.And the siege battle will definitely not be that easy, prepare for the worst, it may turn into a protracted battle.

According to the book of war, siege warfare can be fought only when the strength of the enemy is ten times that of the enemy.Robin's troops are too few, and he lacks siege equipment. In fact, he himself has no idea.

But in any case, Baron's new defeat is a good opportunity to take advantage of the victory.Robin decided to lead his troops to have a look first, and fight if there is a chance, if there is no chance, the worst is to leave.

Robin's preparations were in full swing, and it took a few days to finally get everything ready and ready for the expedition.At this time, Knight Helen came, and she brought Duke Snow Eagle's order: truce and peace talks.
