The heavy rain in the mountains continued. After losing their leader, the black cavalry lost their momentum. The remaining cavalry turned their horses and prepared to charge again, but the opportunity was fleeting.
As several guard captains shouted loudly in the rain, the adjusted guards closed the line again, and the cold spears were placed behind the shields, forming a solid steel city wall that continued to shrink into the encirclement.
The cavalry in black who lost the space to move could no longer increase their speed. Most of them were lifted off their horses by their spears, while a few rolled down the hillside and fell into the deep mountain stream. As a result, the battle slowly came to an end, and the sound of slashing was heard.
It also gradually weakened.
---------------
In the extra large tent in the camp, the firewood and kerosene in the brazier were burning together, emitting the smell of tar. Lorraine Hill was sitting in the middle, with a dozen intact sword-wielding guards standing on both sides.
At this time, she had changed into a loose white dress, and her arms were wrapped with bandages. Her hair was still a little damp after drying, hanging on both sides of her chest, and she was staring at the black clothes that were tied up in the tent.
cavalry.
Two strong guards pushed the cavalryman to the ground. The black and red mask on his face had been torn off at this moment, revealing a face with black hair and blue eyes.
"He still refuses to say it?" Lorraine Hill's cold voice came from the seat.
"Yes, Miss. They also searched all over their bodies and found no other markers." The guard next to him replied in awe.
In the fierce and dangerous cavalry confrontation just now, Lorraine Hill's courage and bravery impressed the guards present. Previously, in the hearts of the guards, Lorraine Hill was just a kind-hearted and gentle young lady, or there was also the incomparable
's beauty.
But now in their hearts, Lorraine Hill is not only the object of their allegiance, but also a heroic commander who is worthy of following and can be entrusted with their lives. The kind of respect and admiration that rises from the bottom of their hearts is something they have never imagined before.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, who would have believed that the seemingly weak and beautiful lady of the Chamber of Commerce had such courage and courage to kill the enemy leader with a sword in the midst of an extremely dangerous lance charge.
forward.
"Really?" Lorraine Hill paused for a moment before speaking.
"Pull his head up."
One of the guards grabbed the hair of the black-clothed cavalryman and made his dark blue eyes face the young lady in front of him.
The cavalryman looked at the beautiful young lady in front of him with an incredible look in his eyes. The eye-catching golden hair and the bandages on his arms all showed that it was she who killed his leader with one sword.
I thought the target this time was a weak bird, but I didn't expect it to be a divine winged bird tearing through the strong wind. An expression of shock and disbelief appeared on his face.
Lorraine Hill no longer asked the black cavalry questions, but opened his mouth to analyze.
"You are more like professional soldiers than killers. This cannot be cultivated by ordinary forces and organizations."
"Our Carites Chamber of Commerce travels between West Wind and Verga, and enemies and opponents will only come from these two places."
"The West Wind nobles have gradually declined over the years. The small noble families cannot afford to support you, and the private military style of the large noble families has never been like yours." Lorraine Hill paused for a moment.
"Then the only ones left may be the business family who are also members of the Verga family."
"The Verga Business Alliance is uniformly managed by industry unions, and the decision-making body of the association is composed of 26 high-level councilors, each of whom represents a large Verga chamber of commerce."
"Except us, Carites, among the remaining chamber of commerce representatives, there are only six chambers of commerce related to shipping, river transportation, and water."
"Excluding the two chambers of commerce that we have never interacted with, the only ones left are..."
Lorraine Hill looked into the eyes of this cavalryman and began to read the names one by one.
"Agtilin"
"Gigiol"
"Dayas"
"Tisiphone"
When he thought of Tisiphone, the cavalryman's pupils finally changed.
Is it actually Tisiphone? Lorraine Hill had a guess in his mind, so he ignored it and asked people to take the cavalry down and hold him alone. After that, he took several cavalry up alone and repeated the same trick.
However, after changing the words and order several times, she finally determined that these black cavalry were from the Tisiphone family.
The Tisiphone family is mainly engaged in selling weapons, whale oil, bow materials, dyes, etc., and has its own fleet. It is said that in the early years, it even worked as a pirate and took orders for assassinations. It is one of the more extreme ones among the large chambers of commerce.
After asking the other guards to retreat, Lorraine Hill returned to his tent. Rubbing his tense face, the girl rolled around on the floor several times with her pillow in her arms.
She was so tired. Not only did she have to maintain a majestic image to enhance everyone's confidence, but she also had to think hard about where the enemy came from and what their purpose was. She just wanted to have a good sleep now and didn't think about anything else.
Sitting up on the soft floor, Lorraine Hill opened the small cabinet next to her, took out a bottle of cold fruit yogurt, drank some in small sips, and then fell asleep with her head on the pillow. Because she was always on guard, she had been
Didn't get a good rest.
At this time, outside the tent, the rain slowly stopped sparsely, a faint white light appeared on the horizon, and the morning of the day quietly began.
When Lorraine Hill woke up again, it was already noon. At this time, the clouds in the sky dispersed, and the hot sunshine shone on the earth, forming a strong white light on the earth.
Walking out of the light-blocking tent, the girl blocked the dazzling sunlight with her hands. At this time, the camp had been tidied up, the chaotic battlefield had been cleaned up, and the weapons, corpses, and damaged goods that had been scattered in the rain had been properly disposed of.
Thanks to the extraordinary potion prepared by Lorraine Hill in advance, most of the Chamber of Commerce guards were able to save their lives. The broken bones were fixed with wooden boards and the wounds were bandaged. The rest was to slowly recover from their injuries in the future.
When the butler Seres saw Lorraine Hill coming out, he hurried forward to ask about the injury. He had been dealing with various post-war matters before, and only then was he able to see this courageous young lady.
"I'm fine. How are the others? Did they clean their wounds properly? Otherwise, they could become infected."
Lorraine Hill said that her problem is not big. In fact, the wounds on her body have healed long ago. You can't even find traces of injuries on her fair skin after removing the bandage. However, the healing speed is too amazing and she doesn't want to attract people.
Note that this is why the bandage remains.
"Miss Lacey, everyone else has been taken care of. Miss, please rest assured that they are all veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time. They are familiar with many situations and there will be no big problems. Even the prisoners will do as you say.
The arranger has bandaged it."
"Well, very good, these prisoners will be of great use in the future."
The girl nodded with satisfaction. The butterfly hairpin on her blond hair reflected beautiful light under the sun. At this time, she returned to her usual gentle and lovely appearance.
