"Sir!" Narant came to the vestibule and went directly to the guard's barracks. At this time, the two seriously injured guards were able to walk slowly on their own and were walking around the door of the barracks!
"There is no need to be polite. The injury is not completely healed, so there is no need to salute vigorously, otherwise the wound will burst again!"
"Yes, sir! Thank you for your life-saving grace!" The eyes of the two guards showed great gratitude.
The lives of the two of them were really given by the lord. If they were injured like this in the past, they would definitely die.
I heard from other teammates that in order to save the two of them, they endured the blood of the two of them for cleaning and stitching.
In the past, no nobles could be like my lord. Even the nobles who were kinder would only be compensated with a few more pensions after their death.
"Well, there's no need to thank me. This is the treatment you deserve for fighting bravely for me!" Nalant smiled and nodded at the two of them. Judging from their appearance, they should be able to return to training in a few days.
"In addition, regarding the rewards for your two battles, I have already told Quik that in addition to the merits of killing the enemy, I will reward each of you with an additional three silver coins! Recuperate well and return to the team as soon as possible!"
"Yes, sir!"
After seeing the two seriously injured guards, Nalant was about to go find Shirley.
"Sir...Sir!" However, just as he reached the front of the castle, Shirley shouted and ran over from the front.
The little Loli's face was full of anxiety, which was very rare.
"Shirley, what's wrong?"
"Sir, it's not good. Xiao Huihui said that he just saw people dressed like guards breaking into the Storm Territory from the Fiery Forest, and they seemed to have killed people in the territory!"
"What? Some guards came to Storm Leader and killed someone?" Nalant was shocked.
It turned out that Xiao Huihui went to the area around the Fiery Forest to catch insects as usual this morning. Unexpectedly, he happened to see a group of people dressed as guards emerging from the Fiery Forest, and then witnessed them killing three people on the road. side.
Xiao Huihui has received instructions from Shirley that if anything unusual happens in the territory, he must report it to her.
So Xiao Huihui talked about this matter as soon as he came back. However, Xiao Huihui is a bird after all, so he can only describe it roughly. As for the identity and origin of those intruders, it is impossible to find out clearly.
However, what is a bit strange is that the people these guards killed were not captured from the Storm Territory, but brought by themselves.
This left Nalant a little confused, but he suddenly remembered the previous mission reward. Wasn't it a reward for the message of territory crisis?
Thinking of this, he didn't dare to neglect at all.
"Vivian! Let the guards assemble!" Nalant immediately came outside the castle gate and ordered Vivian who was training the guards.
Quick yesterday went to Tulip City with ten guards to protect the convoy, so there were only twenty guards in the castle today.
Leaving five newly recruited guards to guard the castle, Nalant led Vivian and others directly towards the Fiery Forest.
…
On the edge of the Fiery Forest, on a dirt road more than ten miles away from the Doom Village, a team of thirteen people was quickly heading towards the Doom Village.
There were ten people in the team who were fully armed guards. As for the other three, although they were unusually tall, they had already made no sound at this time.
But what they were wearing turned out to be rare beast furs.
"Captain, how long do we have to go, or should we just leave it here!" While walking, a guard asked the captain. They were also afraid of this place of doom.
"Lord Quint has given an order. The bodies of these three people must be brought to the vicinity of the village in the Storm Territory. We should be able to reach them in another hour's walk now! Please speed up, and we will try to leave this unfortunate place as soon as possible!"
"Okay!" The guard had no choice but to continue carrying the three corpses wearing furs.
What the group of people didn't know was that at this moment, a small group of bees flew above their heads. After circling in a circle, several bees quickly left.
…
"Sir, the bees have found those people, and they are approaching the Village of Doom!"
Sitting on the moving carriage, Shirley immediately reported the situation she had just learned to Narant.
"Going to the Village of Doom?" Nalant frowned, "Everyone, speed up!"
"Yes, sir!"
Following Nalant's instructions, the carriage carrying the guards moved forward quickly.
Half an hour later, Nalant and his party finally arrived at the dirt road at the edge of the Fiery Forest.
"Sir, they are right in front and will arrive here in two minutes."
The carriage was hidden in advance and the guards hid in the trees on the roadside. Soon the bees sent by Shirley sent back the latest information.
Nalant was not prepared to hit him head-on. Since the opponent's target was obvious, it would be best to wait and ambush him.
"Vivian, tell us to go down and get everyone ready for battle!"
"Yes, sir!"
Vivian received the order and immediately conveyed the order, "Archers, prepare your arrows, swordsmen, unsheath the swords!"
Clang, clang, clang!
Following the order, the guards prepared for battle.
At this time, the intruders did not know that an ambush had been prepared for them, so they continued to move forward quickly carrying the three corpses.
As time passed, Narant and others soon saw this group of intruders.
"I'm so exhausted. Why haven't we arrived yet? This damn unlucky lord. If it weren't for the lord named Nalant, how could we be sent to this place of misfortune?"
"Keep your voice down. If we walk a few miles, we should be able to reach the village. Be careful of villagers on the road. Please cheer up!"
As the group of people approached, there were also whispered curses.
"Are these Quint's guards?" Although this group of people did not have any family markings on them, Nalant knew that these standard guard outfits came from the southwest, and most likely they were Quint's men.
Especially when this group of people made it clear in their words that they were looking for trouble for themselves.
"Eh! Wait, the three people they dragged were wearing beast furs..." Suddenly, Nalant saw three strange people behind the team being dragged by the guards, "These are the barbarians on the Fire Grassland!"
The next moment, Nalant could not help but frown.
It would be understandable if these people came to attack Doom Village, but dragging three motionless barbarians to their own territory, what are they planning to do?
However, no matter what, these people came to their territory fully armed and had absolutely no plans. Once they were dealt with, everything would become clear.
Thinking of this, Nalant gave another order to Vivian!
"Vivian, take action and try to leave a few alive!"
"Yes, sir!"
Upon hearing this, Vivian immediately drew her bow and nocked an arrow, and then loudly ordered: "Your Majesty has your order, take action!"
Whoosh!
Whoosh whoosh!
In an instant, eleven arrows shot out from both sides of the road, shooting towards the unsuspecting ten guards in the middle of the road.
"No, there's an ambush!"
Puff puff!
Although these ten guards were the first to notice the situation, they had no time to respond to the hidden arrows. Most of them were hit by arrows in an instant, and three or four of them fell on the spot.
"They are hiding in the woods! Rush in, or you won't be able to escape!" The guard captain also had experience and knew that in such a situation, he could only rush into the woods to deal with the longbowmen, otherwise he would be dead on the unobstructed dirt road. .
Whoosh whoosh!
However, before they could rush into the trees, the second wave of arrow rain came again.
Puff puff!
Several more guards fell!
"Asshole, kill me!"
After this wave of arrows rained down, the longbowmen had no chance to fire arrows again, because two or three fish that had slipped through the net had already rushed in front of them with arrows stuck in their bodies.
However, before the three men could swing their swords, Nalant's five sword-hands, who had already sharpened their swords, swarmed up and drowned the three men.
