Chapter 4 Captive

As Hmey expected, after removing the deer-headed spirit, there were no monsters in the forest.

After reaching the depths of the forest, far enough from the fierce battle field, Heme ordered the entire army to rest and just come to calculate what they had obtained in the battle just now.

In addition to some scattered coins and food, the biggest gain of this battle was mainly to get a bunch of Niphgaard military uniforms and armor, so I didn't get much.

These garments and heraldry were specially ordered by Hmey, because just a little disguise was needed, dozens of mercenaries who were loyal to the Nifgaard Empire would come out.

Hmey knew that the empire conquered the entire south within these decades. The so-called Niphgads actually only refer to some people living near the city of Kinta, so it was normal for this army to have a team of mercenaries speaking different languages.

Although Heme doesn't know when this thing can be used, it's always right to bring it with you. What if it can be used?

As for what to do next, Heme planned to move towards the south in the forest and try to reach Soden Mountain, the farther away from it, the better.

In a few days, maybe today, the Northern Alliance will have to cross the river, and the Battle of Sodden will begin, and the Niphgads will be defeated.

In that scene of defeat, they had too many opportunities.

For example, if you directly rob the Nifgaard camp and plunder the tent of the commander-in-chief in black, you won’t make a fortune directly.

When Hermes examined his next action, his soldiers lamented the pleasure of the previous battle. It was so satisfying to beat the man in black like this.

The Northern Alliance and the Imperial Army also had several battles. The general view of the Northerners is that this army is not simple, it can be said to be a powerful enemy.

They also had a lot of awe of Heme in their words. Victory is the thing that can best establish prestige. In the words of the soldiers, Heme had already won their hearts. Now they no longer doubt the ability of the young commander.

There is nothing to say about the days that follow. The people of Yadian walked in the forest during the day and fell asleep as soon as it was dark.

The Niphgads failed to catch up with them, or they had already given up, and the Adenites did not see any trace of the Niphgads.

With the nourishment of sufficient rest and confidence brought by victory, the morale of the troops is getting higher and higher, and the spirit of the soldiers is getting stronger and stronger.

While thinking about the days, Hemei also led his subordinates to the edge of the forest.

They have to stand by on the edge of the battlefield as soon as possible to act according to the situation, and this trip is for this.

Just as the Adenites were marching in the forest, they heard an explosion coming from afar.

The scout immediately climbed up the tallest tree beside him and looked in the direction of the explosion, and the answer he gave was exactly what Heme was thinking.

"The war is on!"

Hearing the war began, Hemei immediately urged his subordinates to rush on the road. They had to go to the edge of the forest as soon as possible to investigate the situation there.

Everyone was also very quick and did not hesitate at Heme's orders.

Soon, the group arrived at the edge of the forest. After the scouts determined that the safety ahead, Heme and Jerry walked to the edge of the forest.

It is unwise to take so many people to the edge of the forest. There are too many people, which means it is easy to be discovered, so just a few people are fine.

Their location was very good, not far away was the Nifgaard camp, and you could see teams of Nifgaard soldiers heading to the front line under the flag of the golden sun.

The Nifgads' expressions were very bad. Of course, no one would feel good when they saw what happened on Sodeng's mountain.

The scene on Sodeng Mountain was spectacular, with fireballs and lightning constantly flying on the battlefield, suppressing the Nifgad army.

Soldiers were constantly bombed. Although there were warlocks in the south, their mass and quantity were extremely comparable to those in the north, resulting in the Nifgaard army being suppressed in full.

The fireballs and lightning of the Northern Alliance ravaged the Nifgad position like bombing. Even if the Imperial Mage had tried its best to protect it, it could not change the current situation of the Black-clothed Army's heavy casualties.

But the Nifgad army was still moving forward firmly. Even though they suffered heavy casualties, they still bravely rushed towards Soden and fought with the defending northerners.

The flags with golden sun and the heraldic emblems of the northern countries kept shaking and tangling together, like lovers entangled in bed, but the way this "lover" communicates is a sword.

The Southern Warlock was not completely without counterattack ability. Heme saw a fireball from the Southern Army smashing on the Warlock's position, igniting several people.

The magic of both sides is inevitably exploded in the melee front, and the soldiers on both sides are equally blown away or turned into coke.

This scene made several Yadians here subconsciously swallow their saliva. Now they are extremely glad that they were sent out to perform missions instead of standing on the battlefield where magical flying was flying.

Since this scene was something he had already foreseen, Heme only watched for a while and focused his attention on the camp of Nifgad.

What’s important now is what you should do, just wait until the battle is over?

It felt a little negative. Now the Nifgads had no idea that there was a Northern Army lurking to a place so close to them, and how could such a good opportunity be used?

It is naturally the best to be able to make contributions. Making contributions means rewards. Only by becoming stronger and stronger, the higher the possibility of going through the next dangerous years.

The more he thought about it, the more restless Hemei became, motivating what he wanted to do.

After all, it would not be reliable if we simply waited here for the collapse of Niphgad's army. Moreover, with the chaos at that time, it is hard to say whether we could achieve any achievements.

The pursuit of defeated soldiers is also a skill. If they rashly stand in front of a large group of defeated soldiers, they will be submerged.

Gradually, the desire for merit overwhelms the concerns about risks.

Anyway, let's get closer to the Nifgad camp to see the situation first.

"Let's get closer to some Nifgad camps."

Heme looked at the camp with golden suns, "Go and see if there is any chance, and see what the camp of the man in black looks like."

"Ah? Yes."

Jerry had no doubts. He had full trust in Heme now, but was a little surprised.

The movement of the Adenites was very smooth, and the battle on the Sodeng Mountain made the Imperial Army busy. Teams of Niphragud troops rushed to the front line, and they could not notice the northerners moving in the forest.

As he approached, Hemei also saw the scene inside the Black-clothed Army camp.

The Nifgaard camp was full of tricks, and the tents with black and gold color matching and sun emblems were neatly arranged, with a standard Nifgaard style, but none of these were what he cared about.

He was focused on finding prisoners in the camp, or slave detentions.

For the Imperial Army, slave capture is the second only to war in its military operations, and there must be slaves in the camps of the Imperial Army.

It was precisely because of this that Hemei decided to approach the Black Army Camp, and he felt that this could be used.

Next he also saw what he wanted, and the captives captured by the Niphgads were held in a circle of fences outside the camp.

The fence was far away from the barracks, and the prisoners were like livestock driven together, which gave Heme an idea.

But then he thought was strangled to death. As he took out his monocular lens to see the situation inside the fence, he found that the prisoners were in poor condition, and most of them stayed there weakly. These people seemed to be a problem even when walking.

People who only have a small number of clothes and are relatively clean are in good spirits. They should have been caught in a short time, but I believe that they will be tortured toward the lack of energy in the future.

As an empire that has developed slave capture into an important industry, slave owners certainly know how to better control the flock. It is naturally the best way to keep them hungry.

However, they made the slave fence quite clean, not as shit and urine as Hemei imagined.

Later he realized that the Niphgads killed all the casual discharges in the fence, and the fence naturally became clean.

The sights seen dispelled the idea of ​​Hemme liberating the prisoners. His original idea was to disguise himself as an imperial mercenary, mingle in front of the slave fence to attack the guards, release all the slaves, and then take them into the forest. The Nifgads would definitely not be able to take care of them by then, but now it seems that this is impossible.

At this moment, several hurried riders came and ran past Heme. As they arrived, the camp became restless.

The battle on the front line of Sodeng Mountain was obviously not going well for the man in black, and Heme saw a large group of reserve teams being transferred to the battlefield.

As the crowd moved a large scale, the Nifgadian camps became chaotic.

The order was obviously very urgent, because even many wounded soldiers who could move were mobilized, and it seemed that the front-line battle was very unfavorable to the Nifgads.

Even the Nifgad army, which has always been disciplined, will fall into chaos in the face of sudden and urgent orders, and there will be situations where soldiers cannot find their generals and will not find their soldiers.

Looking at the Nifgad camp, which was becoming more and more busy due to the war ahead, Heme once wanted to use the collected armor and disguised himself as an imperial army to sneak in.

After getting in, they set fire to destroy the people in the south, making these southerners think that they have been defeated. This is a super great achievement.

But in the end he gave up these ideas, for no reason, it was too risky, and it was unnecessary.

At the moment, the Nifgads obviously mobilized all the last reserve teams, which shows that the battle on Sodeng Mountain is becoming increasingly unfavorable to them. Why do they take such a big risk?

Captive, yes, captives, those high-ranking officials must run away early!

When Hemei suddenly thought of this, he slapped his head with a sudden realization. Some of those marshals and generals must have run away early.

Just catch these guys by yourself. Isn’t this better than taking risks?

After making up his mind, Heme did not plan to move, but continued to wait here, waiting for the moment when Soden was defeated on the mountain.

After almost an hour and a half, traces of defeat had begun to appear, and some Nifgaard soldiers fled back from the front line one after another.

Although they were soon intercepted by the Imperial Cavalry, they were driven to the battlefield by a whole team after executing several of them.

Hmey understood that such a situation meant that the Imperial Army was getting closer and closer to collapse.

Soon, several more defeated troops collapsed from the front line, while the troops retreated from the front line looked extremely tired and depressed, and the traces of defeat of the Niphgads became increasingly obvious.

Very simply, Heme took his subordinates to the rear of the Imperial Army camp.

As for why it is the rear, of course it is because the generals and marshals must have run away from there.

The people of Hmey took action, and the Niphgads, who were increasingly frustrated due to the war on the front, did not notice the movements in the forest at all.

The Yadians set up ambush on the path in the forest behind the military camp. The danger of setting up ambush on the main road is too high and they are easily besieged. In comparison, the path is not only safe, but some big people are indeed more likely to go here.

And shortly after their arrival, a team of fully armed Nifgads arrived.

They had black cloaks, their helmets were ravens' winged helmets, and their plate armor had a golden sun. This was dressed by the officer Nifgad that Heme had seen before, but now these Nifgads are dressed in this way, and their war horses were raised by eating food.
To be continued...
