Countless cavalry galloped in the dark night, approaching the north of the Starfall Kingdom.

With the help of the spiritual link between him and his heirs, Xin Yu has been micro-manipulating the front line in his hometown.

She could accurately order every Hugues who replaced the nobles, even if she asked Hugues to raise his sword by five centimeters during battle.

In fact, Xin Yu is indeed doing this now.

"Count Gryphon, the Count of Montenegro leads the light cavalry as a scout to investigate the location of these mountain barbarians, the Marquis of Wade advances from the middle with all the heavy cavalry under you, the archers are in the back, and the rest serve as reserves."

Xin Yu made the following arrangements, and all the cavalry immediately began to move separately.

The light cavalry, as scouts, quickly crossed the large army with great speed and entered the northern territory first, and their task was only one, that is, to confirm the location of the main force of the mountain barbarians.

Of course, the scout force formed by this group of light cavalry was also led by those heirs of Xin Yu, and as for ordinary knights, they were all normal humans, completely unaware that the people who led them were actually monsters in human skin.

After entering the area captured by the mountain barbarians, the originally large number of light cavalry immediately dispersed into countless small forces, and once they encountered a large-scale enemy, they would immediately report.

......

A scout team of five people follows the map and sets out towards the nearest village, a scattered scout squad with pigeons ready to deliver messages to the large army.

They were just ordinary fief knights, not even the lowest barons, they were only loyal to Duke Ferdinand, and Duke Ferdinand gave them a small piece of land, and by virtue of this land, these knights lived far more than ordinary commoners.

Although these low-level fief knights swore allegiance only to their lords, they had been learning chivalry since they were knightly attendants.

Although many virtues such as loyalty and mercy are completely absent in those great nobles, these ordinary fief knights have always adhered to chivalric dogma.

"We're going to the village ahead, and we're going to ask if the local people have encountered mountain barbarians." The leading knight said.

When these knights came to the village, they found that it was very silent, no one could be seen, and it was very dilapidated, and the whole village seemed to have been burned by fire.

"Could it be that the map is wrong, and this village has long been abandoned?" Another knight said.

"Absolutely nothing, there are still traces of human habitation here, and I smell blood." The leading knight immediately retorted.

They rode around the village and soon discovered the source of the smell of blood and knew why they couldn't see anyone in the village.

Because now everyone in this village is here, in a big pit that has been dug out.

The slaughtered bodies were gathered in a large pit, stacked haphazardly on top of each other, where men, women, old people and children were all present.

Perhaps because of the cold weather in the north of the kingdom, there are not too many flies here at this time, but more mice, and the rats in a radius of ten miles are probably attracted here by the smell of corpses, eating happily in the pile of corpses, biting the belly of the dead, and then burrowing into the stomach to gnaw the internal organs.

When the knights saw rats that had eaten the guts of the corpses coming out of the dead man's mouth, one of the young knights vomited on the spot.

"I thought you guys had adapted to the appearance of corpses when the outbreak of gangstery occurred." The lead knight said to the vomit rookies.

The youngest knight wiped the vomit from his mouth with his sleeve, and after feeling a little better, he couldn't help but say, "I may really not be able to adapt." "

These knights were very angry at this time, and their past teachings told them to have mercy on the weak, and that the indiscriminate slaughter of civilians was the thing they hated most.

"Can we catch up with those damn brutes now?" The young knight asked, desperate for the slaughterers to pay the price.

The leading knight dismounted, poked the decomposing corpse with a branch, and said: "Impossible, according to the degree of decomposition of the corpse, these civilians have been dead for two days, and those barbarians must have gone far."

Although the leading knight was also very angry about the massacre of civilians, he did not lose his mind, he was now unable to fight against the barbarian army, and once encountered, he must immediately report the location.

One of the scouting knights crouched on the ground and observed the traces left on the ground, which seemed to outsiders to be only chaotic footprints, but for this knight who had been trained as a professional scout, it was possible to see the actions of the barbarians at that time, and soon he concluded:

"This group of barbarians has been transported to the north by carriage with a lot of stolen things."

When the leading knight heard this, he immediately thought of what happened during the previous barbarian invasions: "Those barbarians must want to return to the northern mountains with what they stolen!" "

Although these knights are from the south of the kingdom, they have also learned about the past few mountain barbarian invasions, and this has been the case every time in the past.

"So what do we do now?"

"Catch up and see if you can find these barbarians."

The young knight pointed to the corpses and said, "Wait a minute, what should these killed villagers do, just let them storm the wilderness?"

"Otherwise, there are five of us, do we have to dig a pit to bury them all, even if we burn the corpses, the smoke from the burning will expose us."

Although the young knight was eager to dispose of the corpses, he could not disobey the leader's orders and let the rats enjoy the feast of carrion here.

As the five knights continued along the traces left by the barbarians, they finally found the barbarian tribe that had slaughtered the village.

It was a small tribe, only a hundred people, and after the barbarian invasion, small tribes like this continued to enter various villages to plunder and slaughter.

At this time the tribe was resting in a burned-out castle that originally belonged to a baron but had been killed by the mountain barbarians.

At this time these barbarians were enjoying themselves in this burned castle with looted grain and women, the laughter of the barbarians and the screams of women.

After seeing how many people were in the castle, the five knights wrote all the location and number of people on a note, and then took out a dove.

They brought a total of three pigeons, and in order to prevent the pigeons from revealing themselves by making noises, each pigeon's mouth was tied with a rope that would not be untied until it was time to feed.

The note is tied to the leg of one of the pigeons, and then the pigeon is released and it returns to the side of the army with the attraction in its mind.
