The storage room was empty long before sunrise, and everyone in the big house in Vandich town was filled with food and wine, and some food was piled on the dry ground of the big house, ready to be after dawn

It was transported to the rear. The continuous rain finally stopped, and the dark clouds dissipated and the stars were revealed. But Haramund decided to wait until morning to let the soldiers of the commando sleep for another few more hours.

At sunrise, he stood on the wall of the fortress and looked into the distance. Looking around, he looked all over the fields, pastures and logging fields. Haramund saw many oak trees growing straight and tall, suitable for shipbuilding and could be created.

Keels, boat bottom ribs or wooden boards. On the north horizon, a green ridge extends from east to west, dawn shines in the middle of the ridge, and mist covers the undulating mountains.

Unlike the small villages they had seen before, the Vandic Fortress has a relatively strong defense, with gaps on the walls for archers and peep holes. There is a narrow oblique opening above the gate, which the defender can pass through.

Attacking the enemy on the bridge with a slanted mouth. Haramund was a little confused about why the people from the southern border countries of Taput had to give up this easy-to-defense and difficult-to-attack place.

Suddenly, he heard footsteps coming from the wooden stairs, and when he turned around, he saw the young gunsman Hugh Hood climbing up the wall and standing next to him. They leaned against the wood wet with their arms around them

On the top of the wood, the golden light shone into Hugh Hood's eyes that looked like dark gold and cobalt blue. Harammond felt that this adventure partner might have something to say to him.

But who knew that Hugh Hood just stretched his body, suddenly pointed to the southeast and said, "What is that?"

Haramund squinted his eyes and looked in the direction he pointed, taking a step back from the wall. A black line appeared on the side of the Vandich Pier, and over time it became thicker and thicker,

"That's an army," he said.

Then Haramund turned around and ran down the stairs, almost jumping down, and then ran through the yard toward the big house. He rushed into the big house and woke the soft maple man who was sleeping on the floor and pushed to the warriors.

,When they were still in a state of confusion when they had just woken up, Haramund yelled at them as he kicked them.

"The army of the Taputs is here!" he shouted, "Pick up your weapons! Everyone goes to the yard!"

"Taptic army?" Gorindo sat up, star-eyed, and pushed away a basket of apple cores on his body, which someone fell on him while he was sleeping. "I thought they wouldn't do it."

Rain marched, otherwise we wouldn't have left this place for us."

"So too," said Haramund. "They must have crossed the river overnight. And the patrol boats on the river have not yet been discovered."

"Or the will of those Taputs is stronger than I thought." On the other side of the room, the commando's deputy captain frowned while tying his sword.

Haramund thought of this too. "It's no longer important now," he said. Then he turned away from the big house, and in the yard, he shouted to Quis, "What did you see?"

"Five hundred people, at least!" the young gunsman made a gesture.

Haramund was angry at his stupidity. He entered Wanditch to find supplies, but he could not help but suspect that the food left by the Taputs was actually bait, and the purpose was to keep the commando there until the

The army rushed to kill them overnight.

Before the sun rose above the city wall, his soldiers came out of the house, vented their fists, and walked into the cold mist in the morning. When the commandos gathered, Haramund climbed half of the stairs.

, turned to them and gave them a sincere speech.

"We will hold our position here!" he said, "until the last warrior was killed! If we try to escape, the Taputs can easily see us, and he will know our true number, and he has

Maybe they will catch up and kill us.”

"But that's not what I'm worried about," Haramund pointed to the north, "The Joms' coalition will only take two days to arrive! Are the Soft Maples capable of fighting warriors, and will soon be in those

The eyes of allies were exposed! We must block the Taput army here!" He pointed to the ground that was still wet, "Maybe we have few people, but the Taputs could not know how many warriors stood behind the city wall.

I don't know what kind of people they are going to fight!" He pulled out his sword and raised it high, "After today, they will know us! After today, the whole Taput will be because of our name

Shiver, because we are real warriors!"

His soldiers roared and many raised their weapons. Haramund then walked down the stairs with a little peace of mind, and ordered everyone to use the heaviest beams and pillars that could be found in the fortress to put the gate of Vandicci

Hold on. Then he ordered the fire to be set in the big house with all the wood he could find, and used the tables and benches as fuel, and let people throw each stone into the flame to heat it.

Gorrindo soon found Galmond, who nodded with the preparations satisfied and pointed to a large pot of cauldron mounted on the grill. "We don't have much fat to cook, but we can put it in."

Fill the water and boil it on the top of the city.”

"Put some horse manure and mud," said Haramundmond. "Something that sticks to the flesh of the Saxons. But try to melt the fat we have."

The dwarf nodded again and went to make sure that these things were carried out smoothly, while Haramund returned to the yard and found that the gate had been reinforced well and could withstand a large number of impacts. He didn't know if this could withstand Tarp.

The special forces attacked several waves, but it was not far from the villages and towns where the Thousand People Team was stationed. In theory, after receiving the message, the large army could reach Wantici for support after a long march.

"How did they escape the river cruise ship?" Haramund thought in some confusion, "and so many people were sent at one time."

...

The oars fell and cut through the dark water surface. It passed through the dark river water, stirring the silt at the bottom of the river.

Grove leaned on the railing of the bow and used a torch to dispel the darkness around him. He whistled, and a small tune of erratic words leaked out of his black and rotten teeth.

, This folk song was passed down from generation to generation in the tavern in his village.

There is quite far away from here. Grove has to admit that he is not a sentimental thinker. But then again, you can't expect a thinker to be "indulged in robbing gold and silver" and "freely allocating land" by the lords.

The slogan was encouraged and crossed half of the world to Taput. What is needed to survive here is keen intuition and firm will, plus a sharp axe.

"The men have the final say wherever they go," Grove spitted thick phlegm into the Seine River. He was very angry at the job he was assigned to. The eldest master from Cuimucheng, who was only based on his identity (

Well, of course, there are reasons for having a lot of knowledge) that can be entrusted with important tasks in the army, and now he has become the commando captain of the advance force. And he, a real soft maple warrior, is now a captain (

It was a pity that he was not the captain of such a river cruise ship before), so he was rushed to the river cruise ship to patrol in the rain.

"The commander who made this task was really blind," Grove cursed in his heart, and his resentment was cut a little while when his fingers touched a string of pearl necklaces hidden in his collar."

Fortunately, this trip to Taput really got some good things, otherwise who would have been willing to work for those lords?” The spoils were the makeup of this veteran oilman when he was robbing a noble manor.

He found it in the box without hesitation and hid it on himself, without handing over it to wait for the lord to distribute it evenly.

I have to say that this guy is full of problems. If his brother Ulfric had not been a formidable berserker and he had indeed had a skill in sailing, he would have been

It has to be used by the commander to kill one to warn a hundred times.

While humming a little tune, Grove looked at the crooked trees with his eyes already under the influence of a few glasses of honey wine. They were on the strange hills covered with black soil, looking like floating

On the water, under the lights of light, the trees seemed to be dancing. Grove suddenly shivered. His grandfather, the master who taught him the ability to do boats, told him a long time ago,

Each river has its own secrets. A river as wide as the Sain River might be affected by some mountains and rivers.

"The goblins are oozing all over," Grove cursed again. In order to cheer himself up, he first used his hand to snatch the crotch, and then lifted the moisture-proof cover on the spring-shaped flintlock pistol that looked like a hammer on his waist, checking

After a while, he confirmed whether the gunpowder powder filled inside had turned into a paste due to water. If something happened, he had to ensure that he could pull out his gun and shoot as soon as possible.

"The dead have eyes that cannot be seen, and the ghosts have ears that cannot be heard,"

Grove murmured, while inserting the torch on the buckle of the railing, he picked up a long pole used to detect long poles and foreign objects in the water. He just said an old folk song, but it was written very well.

OK, especially when you are sailing on the dark river. "Don't let the rats hear you fear, and their sharp teeth and claws attract your soul." He continued, while listening to the sound of the Seine River with all his heart. As long as you know how to do it

Listen, these rivers will tell you a lot of things. The thumping sound of herons flapping their wings, or poisonous snakes, frogs, etc. into the water means that it is safe. And if you hear the sound of turbulent flow at the bottom of the water, it is not

What a good sign.
