Lord of the North

After being awakened by the sound of horseshoes, Astorfo saw a team of thousands quietly leaving the barracks of Earl Hicks during the time before dawn. 【Full text reading】

"Ah, there seems to be a problem." Astorfo touched his chin, pretending to be thoughtful.

Then he watched the army gradually depart to the southeast, and finally clapped his hands violently, and said in surprise, "Don't you know if you follow along and take a look?!"

Then he hung far behind the P-share of Ivan's army, and by the way, he was still watching the scenery slowly.

It's just that he seems to have forgotten that this situation should be reported to Roland first, and he seems to have overlooked the food to be eaten on the road.

For this reason, in the following nights, soldiers on patrols in the army's material transport team led by Ivan often found a dark shadow wandering between the carriages. The next day they would find the convoy. Food for at least ten people is missing.

At first they thought it was a soldier guarding and stealing themselves, but after intensified inspections, they found that it was not a different matter, because in the end even the knight-level extraordinary powerhouses in the team did not find anyone coming.

Even once the knight-level strong man responsible for transporting grain, grass and supplies was knocked out and threw it into a wooden barrel containing grain...Until the next day his guards discovered that he was missing, they launched a small military camp. The talent found him.

From then on, the knight-level powerhouse was frightened out of his mind.

Fortunately, after the army reached the small town of Nora, the mysterious thief never appeared again, otherwise Ivan would set up an ambush and forcefully capture this man.

I have to say that Astorfo's nerves are indeed thick enough. Fortunately, Ivan's barracks do not have strong men like Great Knights and Earth Knights, otherwise he would be in serious trouble.

But after he left alone, he was anxious to Roland and others in Barea's Pass.

Before leaving with Ivan's army, Astorfo was performing the task of monitoring the Earl Hicks barracks assigned to him by Roland. When he did not rush back to report the situation at the prescribed time, Roland noticed that something went wrong.

They had worked together for so many years, and they knew each other too well, so Roland guessed at the first time that this guy must have failed to perform the tasks that he gave him, and didn't know where he went.

I have to say that he really understands Astorfo's detached character, and his guess is very close to the real situation.

But Leonidas and the others didn’t know. After learning that Astorfo hadn’t made it back within the stipulated time, he immediately ran out and looked into the sky. After finding that Junying was indeed not found, he immediately Returned to the barracks and found Roland, and discussed with him whether they should join forces and sneak into the enemy's barracks to rescue Astorfo.

He thought that Astorfo was discovered by the enemy and then caught.

"I know Astorfo. Although he is a little confused, he won't make any omissions in this situation." Roland looked at Leonidas wandering in front of him with a sad face, and exhorted him.

He didn't expect that after Astorfo's disappearance, it was not him and Ronald who were most worried about, but the Spartan monarch who usually looked so serious and even a little cold.

"I'm not worried about his safety, I'm worried about his accident that will affect our next plan and the deployment of His Royal Highness." Leonida stopped and stood in place, saying indifferently.

"..."

Roland suddenly didn't know how to reply. Although he had known from Jason that this was a character who was almost a tyrant, he still didn't adapt to his thinking when he really came into contact.

Huh! !

When he was thinking about how to assure Leonidas for Astorfo, suddenly there was a cry of Junying over the barracks.

"He's back." Roland was overjoyed and suddenly stood up and said.

"If he doesn't have a reasonable explanation, I think I need to report to His Royal Highness Jason about today's situation. This kind of abandoning mission and leaving duty without authorization is completely joking about the lives of thousands of soldiers and civilians at the Barria Pass."

Although Leonida's expression gradually relaxed, he still said to Roland with a cold face.

"Even if Master Leonida doesn't say anything, I will report this matter to His Highness."

Roland responded seriously after hearing the words: "This is my responsibility."

"Humhhhhhhhh!"

"Master Astorford."

At this time, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, as well as the sound of the guard outside the door. Astorfo hurried open the tent and ran in, his face stained and surprised at Roland and yelled: "Everyone is here!"

Then he came to the front of Roland's table and took a few sips of water, then turned and looked at Roland and they were about to speak.

"Astorfo, please explain where you went before." Roland interrupted him with a cold face, as if he was inquiring about sin.

"Hey?"

Astorfo obviously didn't consider how badly his actions had caused him, he looked at the two in front of him questioningly.

"General Astorford, shouldn't you give us two explanations?"

Leonidas looked at him and did not speak, but Roland saw that he did not answer, so he kept asking with a cold face: "If you can't give us a reasonable explanation, maybe we have to deal with you in accordance with the military law laid down by His Highness."

The crime of resigning without authorization is almost a capital crime in the military camp. Although they can't really kill Astorford, the pain of a meal is inevitable.

"No...no?"

Astorfo didn't expect such a result after coming back~www.readwn.com~ He said cautiously: "But I went out this time and found a place where they were hoarding food..."

"What did you say?"

Roland was shocked, and looked at each other anxiously with Leonidas: "Speak clearly!"

They had never found where the food was piled up in the enemy's barracks, but they did not expect that Earl Hicks did not leave a large amount of food in the barracks, but moved it to another place.

So Astorford honestly said what he had seen and heard and what he had done before, and it made Roland and the others look helpless.

But in the end, he left him alone. The two came to the map. Roland said, "This time it was really a mistake. I think we should write a letter to His Highness."

"Perhaps this will be a turning point."
