Before he finished speaking, a rough voice interrupted the conservative vice-captain: "Run away, just run away, what the hell are you saying about retreat!"

"You..." The conservative vice-captain glared, gritted his teeth and looked towards the source of the sound. A maverick black-armored knight also stared at him without giving in.

Thinking of the opponent's strength, the conservative vice-captain's face turned red for a while, but he finally gritted his teeth and looked away.

The big man in black armor snorted coldly, but turned his attention to Wack: "Sir, if you are afraid, run away first. I, Hex, am going to meet the enemy in front of me!" Hex's voice was rough.

Incomparably, even through the black mask, it still seemed to be buzzing.

The other party was so rude that it could almost be said to be a crime of contradiction.

But no one, including Wacker, showed any dissatisfaction. To be able to say that the commander is still okay, he must have something to rely on. This Hex is strong enough, but he is not very good at sneaking into the camp.

As a human being, he offended his previous superior and was demoted to the knight brigade managed by Wacker.

Because Hex is on par with Wacker in terms of strength, even more talented than Wacker, and he is also experienced in combat. His only shortcoming is that he cannot run away without a fight, or he is a cowardly manager.

The last time he had a conflict with his superior, it was because of the other party's cowardice and conservative character that Hex couldn't bear. He not only ridiculed the other party, but also deliberately spread rumors about the other party.

In Hex's eyes, these cowardly warriors should be shrouded in the shadow of being ridiculed and continue to live cowardly, instead of being able to steal other people's merits and achievements because of their high official positions.

Hex had a lot of merit stolen from him. Every time Hex would find the noble who had stolen his merit and make a big fuss, just to get more resources or money as compensation.

Isn't there a saying that goes, a child who cries is fed by milk. So Hex got more resources than the reserved Wacker.

But similarly, because he offended too many nobles, Hex's path to nobility seemed very elusive.

So Hex simply stopped doing it. As long as he saw something interesting, he would try his best to express himself and show off his bravery.

It's a pity that the way he behaved was somewhat unacceptable.

"Okay. Stop arguing." Wacker glanced at Hex and didn't care about his rudeness. In order to get Hex over, even though this guy was very unpopular and even disgusted, he

If his strength is there, he is worthy of Wacker's attention.

So generally in this case, Wacker will calm down the matter.

"The shadow of the enemy appeared in front of us. So we must be cautious. After all, we are going deep behind enemy lines." Wacker's eyes wrinkled slightly, feeling somewhat uneasy and uneasy about the sudden appearance of the enemy.

Different from the crusade against Shan Ye's autonomous territory, if the principality wanted to kill this brigade with a black hand, it would not be too simple. This crusade was originally launched without a name, in order to frighten the principality's unusual movements. If the principality fought hard to kill it,

This brigade, whether the Huaque Empire will go to war with the principality for this brigade is a bit worrying.

But those are no longer what Wacker needs to consider. If the principality really fights against the Flower Sparrow Empire, then the sacrifices of the Wackers will only be talked about after dinner. This is not the result Wacker wants.

He also wants to be promoted to a legendary knight, he also wants to have a good life, and he also wants to truly enjoy the things he has never enjoyed before.

In short, he cannot lose his life in vain just because of the war between two countries.

"In this battle, there are actually soldiers participating. We must be cautious and contact the baggage team immediately to start retreating." Under Hex's contemptuous eyes, Wacker announced his retreat, but the messenger hadn't run out a hundred meters.

A cavalryman with wounds all over his body and a pale face rushed up from behind.

"Plop!" Severely injured and bumpy, the cavalryman fell to the ground.

With a stern look in his eyes, Wack immediately turned over and dismounted, and quickly helped the cavalryman up.

"My lord, the baggage train was... attacked by a gangster... and all of them died." After speaking with a deep breath, the cavalryman tilted his neck and died.

Looking at the wounds on the cavalry, Wacker's eyes slowly turned cold, and the uneasiness in his heart became stronger: "Form up the team immediately, and all the scouts will go out to investigate, pay attention to the movements of the enemy, and be careful to hide yourself."

The scouts tightened their reins, turned their horses' heads, and quickly explored the back. There were even three or four scouts in front of them, keeping an eye on the movements of the bullies.

Traveling quickly is not only to avoid being surrounded by the enemy, but also to leave the area of ​​influence of the enemy as soon as possible.

So in less than half a day, they arrived near the wreckage of the baggage train.

Looking at the burned food and grass, Wacker's face darkened, he only paused for a moment, and then retreated even faster towards the Flower Sparrow Empire.

Although I could vaguely see the shadow of the enemy afterwards, the opponent never launched an attack. Instead, he appeared to be very restrained, as if he was driving away Wacker's knight brigade.

After a full day's march, the specially equipped war horses were already too much to bear.

Wacker had no choice but to stop and rest on the spot.

At this time, everyone looked a little embarrassed. They had no choice but to come here to fight against the autumn wind. After directly killing the remote autonomous territory, they could swagger back to the empire. Unexpectedly, the lord who had always been submissive would dare to attack his baggage this time.

Team.

The most important thing is that if the principality uses this excuse to directly go to war with the empire, it will be in trouble. It will be difficult for their team of knights to leave.

However, everyone has a deep question in their minds: why would a subject country with the principality's national power risk being directly annexed and go to war with a behemoth like the Flower Sparrow Empire?

Even though the Huaque Empire's attention is now attracted by the half-demon, it is definitely not something that a small country like the Principality can provoke.

This is what everyone has been wondering about, don't they want to live anymore?

However, both the scout investigation and the clues left at the scene showed that it was the principality's army.

There was something strange about everything, and even Hex, who had always been careless, could tell that something was wrong.

"Captain, the situation is not good this time. Can we still go back?" The conservative vice-captain's lips were full of blisters, and his eyes were filled with fatigue and worry that could not be concealed.

Wacker's eyes moved, his gaze slowly gathered, he glanced at the vice-captain, but said nothing.

The vice-captain sipped his saliva, and his chapped lips were stinging, but he didn't notice it at all. He sat slumped next to Wacker: "I don't have any big ambitions or ideas, I just want to finish the job."

With this vote, I am ready to go home and live a good life with my wife and children..."

The words of the vice-captain seemed a little lonely and emotional in the dull atmosphere. He was almost at the age of retirement, but in order to have a better life in the future and for his children to have a way out in the future, he put all his savings over the years into

He took them all out and let his son, who had never had any talent as a warrior, join the security brigade, preparing to become a squad leader or something like that.

Thinking of the expectant looks in his wife and children's eyes, the vice-captain felt that he had a heavy burden on his shoulders. Giving gifts, being inferior to others, and being conservative were the character of this vice-captain. He didn't want to cause trouble before he finally left, even though he was a

A fifth-level knight still behaves like an ordinary knight and is very easy to talk to.

Perhaps in the eyes of Hex, who is extremely talented, the vice-captain's character is very cowardly. But for the vice-captain who has no talent and whose fifth-level strength is the pinnacle, face and other things are far less valuable than gold coins.

Moreover, he is not young anymore and has reached the time of retirement, so at this moment, when the last vote encounters this kind of thing, he is more decadent and uneasy than anyone else.

Wacker stood up and patted the deputy captain on the shoulder: "We will come back alive, believe me!" Wacker's voice was not loud, but it was filled with a little sonorous sound, which made people feel refreshed.

"It's almost time to rest, let's set off immediately!!" Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Wacker jumped on his horse and ordered everyone on the road in a loud voice. But even so loudly, he could not hide the fatigue on his face. After all, he had been working all day.

The rapid march was too much for even a knight's physique.

Everyone knew what time it was and did not dare to delay. They quickly got on their horses and left here.

Another half day passed. Seeing that the war horse was exhausted, Wacker had no choice but to stop and rest again: "Take out the secret medicine and give it to the war horse. At the same time, the guards and scouts will work harder to explore the surrounding environment."

Wacker's voice rang out in the vast dense forest. Everyone's breathing stagnated slightly, and they looked at the war horses with somewhat complicated expressions in their eyes.

The secret medicine was something Wacker bought on the underground black market through some not-so-glorious means.

This secret medicine is specially designed for creatures with great potential, such as war horses. After taking it, it can quickly stimulate the potential of war horses, and they can run around day and night without getting tired at all. However, the effect can only last for one day, after which the war horses will die due to exhaustion of energy.

These war horses have been with their owners for a long time and have been with their owners for more than two years. War horses are the best companions of knights. Even on the battlefield, spiritual war horses will protect their owners, which is a brotherly relationship.

But at this time, when we are deep behind enemy lines, if we don't leave quickly, not to mention the war horses, even this group of knights may be eaten by the robbers.

The night was slightly cold, and everyone forced themselves not to think about tomorrow. The atmosphere in the air was like solidified cement, making it impossible to sleep.

In the middle of the night, everyone stood in front of their horses in unison. After a night's rest, these excellent horses had regained some energy, but they were still a little exhausted.
Chapter completed!
