"So, Ralph, you are no longer the commander of the city defense?"

Longhe Town nominally belongs to the so-called "child" in Mrs. Bella's belly, but in fact it completely belongs to the Duke of Alma. It is estimated that most of the people in Oden will not be able to stay.

"Yes, sir, I was not a knight of the kingdom to begin with... I was only entrusted by the earl to take charge of the defense deployment. Now all the rangers who serve in Long River Town have been dismissed by Lady Bella, and the garrison has been replaced by the Duke of Alma.

Bring the people.”

Ralph was obviously unwilling, but he had no choice but to say: "Sir, even though we all know that this is the Duke of Alma's plan, all his actions are legally and morally defensible. Even if we have any dissatisfaction.

, we can’t let the Rangers attack their hometown..."

Indeed, it is quite defensible.

Let the Bastards and the Red Brotherhood contact the Jatu, and use the Jatu to lure the Horn Rangers from Long River Town to put out the fire. Then the Jatu army assembles at Fort Braveshield, causing all of Ralph's troops to leave the station.

Then use a group of so-called 'traitors' to take down Changhe Town - if nothing else, these rebels are either pirates or the Red Brotherhood.

In the end, the great Archduke Alma personally led an army to wipe out the 'rebels' in Changhe Town, and 'saved' Lady Bella's life in a timely manner.

Then as a benefactor and best friend, he raised Lady Bella and the so-called 'posthumous son' whom he got from nowhere...

I don’t know how cruel a fifty-year-old woman must be to be able to conceive a child with a paraplegic old man...

Anyway, all the bad things were done by the thugs of the Red Brotherhood. Archduke Alma quickly put an end to the chaos and even gained the gratitude of the people of Changhe Town who didn't know the truth. If it hadn't been for Leon's "prophecy" in advance, Ralph would have been kept in the dark.

Drum.

But now, no one can do anything against Archduke Alma, and he has almost no clues left.

——Except for those few prisoners of the Red Brotherhood.

"Well, Ralph, I suggest you develop your business on the border first... Let's talk about our deal - I still have a few prisoners here who may be of some use to Count Oden."

In fact, there was nothing wrong with the transaction. Ralph happily gave Leon a good price - twenty sets of equipment for the Horn Call Rangers, and enough food to sustain fifty people throughout the winter.

Yes, there is no dinar. After all, Ralph himself is not a rich man and has just lost his job.

Although there are no gold coins, these cuckold equipment are valuable. This camp alone is not worth so much money. Ralph included the prisoners in it.

As Count Oden's most trusted subordinate, he knew the role these prisoners played in Oden's current situation.

Ralph will build this place into a ranger garrison - as long as he wants, Earl Oden can grant him a knighthood at any time, and then use this place as his knightly territory.

He indeed thinks the same as Li Ang. He doesn't like the intrigues among the nobles, but he is willing to establish meritorious services on the border.

Later, the ranger Raphael, who lent his bow to Leon, took a hundred people with him and put on the Jatu people's equipment.

He wanted to take a walk around Shihu City according to Leon and Ralph's original plan.

Before, I just planned to frame him, but now he is framed and retaliated.

I hope Oden can also seize the opportunity and be shameless.

The ground was full of Jatu corpses and horses, and the rangers soon dressed up as about a hundred Jatu raiders.

"You should wear this."

Leon handed his bloody helmet to Raphael.

"Ah, yes, this is the helmet of the Jatu warlord! Sir, is this a gift from us to each other? I hope you like my bow."

Ranger Raphael seemed very happy and did not dislike the old visor soaked in blood at all.

"Well, then I seem to have taken advantage..."

The performance of that eagle bow was quite good, and it was obviously much more valuable than the helmet.

Li Ang felt a little embarrassed now - when he could take advantage, he always wanted to take advantage of it, but when others really didn't care, he was worried that he couldn't stand up in terms of face...

"No, sir! This helmet is a testament to your bravery and wisdom. How many enemies have to be killed with your own hands to dye it like this... I took advantage of it."

Raphael seemed to truly feel that it was a great honor to get this helmet, and he didn't even want to wipe the blood on the helmet.

The eyes are clean and pure.

"...As long as you like it. By the way, do any of you speak Jatu dialect?"

Li Ang asked the right person this time. Ralph and Raphael both knew a little bit about Jatu. Their father and son's hometown was at the junction of Changhe Forest and Jatu Grassland, and they often encountered Jatu people.

"Sir, why are you studying Jatu dialect?"

"I captured a Jatu warlord."

Raphael's eyes now seemed to be looking at the god himself: "...God...no one has ever been able to capture the top leaders of Jatu! Aren't they all going to fight to the end?"

…

Li Ang was the last person to be treated by Anson - the stab wound on his chest was a skin wound, not serious. His legs and arms were both penetrating wounds, and as long as he didn't pull out the arrow, there was no possibility of excessive blood loss.

This style of work has gained the collective respect of his men and the Clarion Call Rangers.

It's just that Li Ang doesn't really want this kind of respect - it hurts too much.

It’s actually very uncomfortable to pretend to be a tough guy...

After a short rest, Raphael said goodbye to Leon and crossed the river to go to Shihu City to hang out, while Ralph stayed in the camp to help Leon interrogate the warlord.

Li Ang wanted to know how the warlord got his sword - he felt that with the Jatu people's ability to adapt to the mountains, they probably wouldn't be able to catch up or kill Liva, a bandit who was familiar with the terrain.

If Riva could really trade with the Jatu people, then he would really like to find this woman.

Not for revenge, just to be a profiteer.

Of course, if possible, it's okay to take revenge.

The lord is very small-minded.

But this warlord who had always kept silent seemed to have no desire after all two hundred Jatu cavalry were killed in battle, and seemed to only want to die.

There is no point in using torture like this.

Moreover, he had suffered several injuries and was extremely weak.

Ralph had no choice but to try to threaten and question him, but most of them had no response.

It wasn't until Ralph looked at the dozens of Jatu horses remaining outside and said something that the warlord finally opened his eyes.

"You can't do this! That's just a horse!"

"Mo Dan! It turns out you can speak human language!"

Although it was just jumping out word by word, the meaning was very clear - the warlord did not want those horses to be harmed.

Ralph chuckled: "Sure enough, every Jatu man loves horses."

"...The same goes for the Dexia people...the horse is their brother and god, more important than their wife and daughter." Sarah leaned over and said softly beside her.

"Since I can speak human language... I only have one question, where did you get this sword?" Li Ang showed the sword to the warlord, and then added: "Answer my question, I will give it to you.

Heal your wounds and save your life."

The warlord turned his head to look at Li Ang and shook his head: "I am a dead horse. You can't eat it!"

Okay, I didn’t expect Ralph to eat horse meat to get him to open his mouth...

Sure enough, the cultural core of every nation is eating. The most reliable way to distinguish between nations and beliefs is to see what can and cannot be eaten...

"Okay, I promise to raise them fat and strong. My questions shouldn't embarrass you, but if you don't answer this kind of question, we will have to eat horse meat soup pot. And I promise, you will also

Will eat a lot!"

Li Ang motioned to Jatu Warlord to look at the deflated cauldron in the middle of the camp.
Chapter completed!
