Chapter 12: Would it be too much to intercept and kill a thousand cavalry?

Bird opened up the lead.

Shimmer City.

This is a trading city built by the Bird family.

Trade connecting north and south.

It is also the front line of the attack on the Ogre Forest.

With the war between the Ogre Forest and the Byrd family.

The main army of the Byrd family entered Shimmer City.

Around the city, elite members of the Byrd family wearing armor and carrying spears can be seen everywhere.

In the center of Shimmer City is the town hall of Shimmer City.

it's here.

Four of the eight descendants of Bird Sr. came.

Among them, Arman Bird, the eldest son, is the supreme commander in charge of the legion.

His two younger brothers, James Byrd and Haytham Byrd, were in charge of the logistics and cavalry reconnaissance corps respectively.

At the same time, there is a younger brother, Klein Bird, who is the most powerful among them and is also the commander of the Bird family's vanguard army.

But inside the town hall.

But there was no trace of Klein.

"James, there's no news from Klein yet?"

Aman, the eldest son, asked.

Klein is their youngest brother and the most favored by his father.

However, he has no inheritance rights, and he is Aman's biological brother, so he attracts Aman's attention.

James and Hailsham are different from his mother.

"Kline is fun, maybe he was attracted by Harvest Town."

"over there."

"But she has the most beautiful dancing girl in Gondor."

It was Haytham who answered.

His voice was rough and resonant.

It also looks a little rough.

Hailsham's mother is a beautiful wolf girl with orc blood.

Hailsham was born with atavism.

That's why it looks ugly.

But although he did not inherit his mother's appearance.

But he inherited the fighting blood from werewolves.

Before Klein was born, Hailsham was the strongest warrior in the territory.

"No, probably not."

Aman shook his head and said.

He knows Klein.

Dirty dancers were definitely not his cup of tea.

Beautiful maid and cook.

On the contrary, it attracted Klein even more.

"Hey, wolf cub."

"Klein has pure noble blood."

"It's different from you."

James on the side said mockingly.

In the Byrd family, James' mother came from a small noble family.

He knew he had no inheritance rights.

So he started to fawn over his eldest son Aman early on.

Among Byrd's eight children.

James is the most loyal to Oman.

For Oman, James did not hesitate to offend everyone.

Including Old Bird.

More than once, James scolded Old Bird in front of him.

Old Bird was so angry that he almost expelled him from the family.

But every time he was saved by Oman.

Pioneer in Bird.

As the eldest son, Aman's power has already grown enough to compete with Old Bird.

Old Bird is no longer the Wolf King of the North.

He is too old.

The old one couldn't even bite the meat.

Now the vassals under his command are no longer loyal to him.

Waiting for old Bird to die, he will surrender to Oman.

But old Bird has a tenacious vitality and is still alive.

This makes people like James impatient to wait.

Often provoking his authority and irritating Old Bird.

I want him to pass the title to Oman as soon as possible.

It can be said that Bird pioneered the entire field.

James was the one who couldn't wait for Old Bird to die the most.

That's exactly what it is.

Only then will he become Oman's confidant.

Take charge of Shimmer City for him.

The other Hailsham was loyal to Old Bird.

Often targeted by James.

After hearing the other party insult his mother.

Haytham was furious.

"Fucking bitch."

"I'm going to stab you in the body with an iron spear."

"Let you know what respect is."

"Afraid of you!"

"Bastard bastard."

In the town hall, the two faced each other directly.

Behind them are the men loyal to Old Bird and Aman's cronies.

"enough!"

"Do you want civil war?"

Aman spoke sullenly and interrupted the two of them.

Then he said to himself.

"Kline goes to Harvest Town."

"We are going to borrow a road to take a detour from the Harvest Trail."

"Attack the Ogre Forest from the flank."

"He set out three days ago."

"It doesn't matter whether the other party agrees or not."

"It's time to return now."

"He hasn't come back yet."

"Is it possible that someone from Harvest Town detained Klein?"

Haytham heard this.

He immediately shook his head in opposition.

"They don't dare."

"Furthermore, what is the purpose of detaining Klein?"

"Is it for money?"

"That would be stupid."

"With their strength, any of our mercenary groups can bulldoze them."

James lowered his head and thought for a while.

Then he raised his head and said.

"Oman."

"There are rumors in Shimmer City recently."

"It is said that the Ogre's counterattack was due to colluding with traitors within the Byrd family."

"Is it possible that Klein was caught by a traitor?"

"Without Klein, if we want to attack the Ogre Forest."

"Then we have to change the striker."

"And the only person left who can become a forward~"

He glanced at Hailsham beside him.

The meaning is self-explanatory.

"snort!"

"I also heard rumors that James, you purchased the potent poison Ogre Alchemy."

"Why, are you planning to collude with the Ogre Forest to poison someone?"

"enough!"

There was a trace of violence in Aman's eyes.

"What I need is accurate information."

"Who dares to fight among themselves again?"

"Just get back to Bird's Castle."

This time.

The two finally chose to shut up.

And Aman saw that they couldn't provide any information.

He just waved his hand and dismissed the meeting.

Then returned to his residence.

And not long after.

James appeared in Aman's room.

"I just got a message."

"The ogres launched a counterattack on the front lines."

"Their counterattack this time is strange."

"It seems to be a sentry tower built specifically for this purpose."

"Aman, this is different from before."

"Will something happen?"

Hearing the news, Aman looked thoughtful.

Now the struggle within Bird's pioneering team is getting more and more intense.

It is not impossible to collude with the ogres.

So every unusual move over there in the Ogre Forest.

All must be taken seriously.

at this moment.

Even a tiny mistake can have disastrous consequences.

"Is there any latest information on the situation at the frontline sentry towers?"

Aman asked.

"No."

"But I have already sent someone to notify the mercenary group and report the situation of my checkpoint."

James replied.

"No, that's not enough."

"You dispatch a part of the Byrd Guard Knights to randomly check the checkpoints in the areas where each mercenary group is stationed."

"I need accurate information."

"As commanded."

When Oman sent people to inspect.

The other side.

Haytham also got the news.

"Your Mightiness."

"News from the ogres."

"The attack tower had an accident."

"The patrol legion that received the information defeated the elite of the ogres."

"We have abandoned the guard tower now and are heading back to Shimmer City."

"Based on the information from the ogre."

"They are supported by a mercenary group."

"I guess we have left the outskirts of the Ogre Forest now."

"The ogre has no power to stop it."

"So~"

"We have to intercept them halfway."

"They must not be allowed to return to Shimmer City."

"News just came from Bird Castle."

"Sir Bird pioneered the order."

"This time, I would rather not have Shimmer City."

"We must also kill Aman and the vassals loyal to him."

"to this end."

"His Majesty Sir even agreed to the more troublesome request from Harvest Town."

"For the safety of the plan."

"We must kill all those patrolling regiments at the outpost."

"otherwise!"

"They returned to Shimmer City."

"Oman will definitely be alert after getting the news."

After Hailshen heard this.

His eyes were slightly cold.

asked immediately.

"Can you confirm the location of the mercenaries returning to patrol?"

"Can!"

"good."

"You take my father's knights with you."

"Go kill them all!"

"Bring more people."

"A thousand, maybe."

"Bring a thousand cavalry over there."

"Be safe."

Hailsham's words surprised his subordinates.

"Your Mightiness."

"A thousand Guards cavalry intercepted and killed them."

"Is it too much?"

Haytham nodded.

"It's too much, but to avoid any accidents."

"Let's leave as soon as possible."

"After all, the other party has mercenaries guarding him."

"As you command!"

The subordinates could only agree reluctantly.

But there was some disapproval in my heart.

One thousand Guards Cavalry.

hehe!

How can mercenaries stop so many cavalry! !

It will scare them to death! !

"Da da da~"

On the road leading to Shimmer City.

Thousands of legions are on their way.

In the middle of this legion.

It's Christian and Fang Yuan.

"Your Mightiness."

"This is our escort mission."

"It's not good to bring too many soldiers."

"So let Loyes lead the troops to stay near the Ogre Forest."

"Fiona brought someone to protect her in the dark."

"Plus these people now."

"The number of troops protecting you is only over 10,000."

"But please don't worry, Your Excellency."

"This power can definitely guarantee your safety."

Fang Yuan nodded slightly after hearing these words.

He looked at the escorting patrol mercenaries not far away.

These people looked at the thousands of warriors wearing elite armor who escorted them.

There was an incredible look on their faces.

They never knew that in this north.

Such a powerful mercenary army actually appeared.

They were all guessing about Fang Yuan and their origins.

And just then.

There was a sound of horse hooves ahead.

"Report."

"Your Excellency."

"Your Excellency Fiona discovered an ambush cavalry in front."

"They had their faces covered."

"It seems a little unfriendly."

Hear this.

Fang Yuan was a little happy.

"Not very friendly?"

"Tell Fiona."

"Just kill them!"

Christian on the side dissuaded.

"Your Mightiness."

"I don't know if they are enemies or friendly forces coming to support them."

"Let's make contact first and confirm the identity before it's too late."

"It's better to surround them quietly first."

Fang Yuan thought for a while and nodded.

After all, if you accidentally kill a friendly force.

As a result, the second task of this line cannot be completed.

That's a little troublesome.

And this time when entering the secret realm, my main mission is to investigate the truth.

If you kill them all.

Where to find out the truth.

"Then quietly surround them!"

"We will decide whether to attack or not after we arrive."

"As you command!"
