Chapter 784: Response (Part 2)
"Let's camp here today." With the new horse, the knight moved for a long time and stopped.
The camping site was chosen to be a mound, about fifty meters high, with an area of about 200 square meters on the top, not far from below, and a small river, which is a relatively safe place.
The remaining soldiers and attendants insisted on setting up a simple camp.
Lu Xiupei said to Knight Kaikuanxi: "Knight Kaikuanxi, I bring food and salt, medicine, holy water, and clothes in my carriage, you can use it!"
"Also, the horses I bring are all available horses, and all knights bring one."
"Thank you very much, Knight Luxipei." Knight Kaikuanxi did not refuse. Now this small knight group is in a life and death, so there is no refusal.
Knight Kaikuanxi said in an order: "Everyone cleans it in batches, throw away the old clothes, and change into new clothes."
"The pastor provides adequate treatment to all wounded people."
"If no injured person or minor injured person is responsible for making fire, and if the horses he brought survive, they will feed them food and water, and will not ride them again and will not be able to survive. If they kill and eat meat, do you understand that this meal needs to be enough?
"Yes, I understand!" Even now, everyone except those brought by Lu Xiupei was shouting.
"By the way, Knight Luxiu Pei, our people are all very tired, right?" Knight Kaikuanxi asked politely.
"Of course, we are responsible for the alert tonight." Lu Xiupei said, raising his voice: "Bad, you are responsible for the alert, Oka, you are responsible for the tent, Nida, you are responsible for the traps, do you understand?"
"I understand!" Several people spoke in unison.
After only a long time of contact, Lu Xiupei discovered that the Knight Kaikuanxi was taciturn and strict with himself, and had considerable command skills. He was a level 8 knight, and he respected him very much.
At this time, Bud released a little bird. He was a druid. The little bird was his animal companion. Although it was only ten centimeters in the bird, it had a sharp eye and could patrol the surroundings in the night sky.
At the command of Bard, it flew out and began to patrol the hills as the center.
Seeing this, Knight Kaikuanxi immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
With this, you can predict the enemy situation in advance and you can sleep with confidence.
Nida was a thief. He brought people to set up traps. There were not many traps, but at key locations around the mound, several simple traps were arranged locally. These traps were more warning traps, which ordinary soldiers could not remove or detect.
Once someone approaches, they will be noticed and warned.
After Nida came back, the tents were set up, all new and intact tents would not leak.
And most of the people have been washed, and in front of the fire, the bonfire is burning, and the wounded are lying on the blanket, and the priest conducts a careful examination and bandage, as well as treatment.
Before, he was killed in a mess, but now it is safe. Knight Kaikuanxi felt tired all over and seemed to have disappeared, and he just wanted to have a sleep.
He forced himself to support and watched everyone sitting around the bonfire. At this time, the dead horse had broken down. The large pieces of horse meat, put down salt, and some simple condiments, which were already full of fragrance.
"It's only because of serious injury. If you can't digest it well, eat fish soup, and others eat horse meat!" Knight Kaikuanxi said instructed.
The fish soup I mentioned is the mushroom and carp soup that exudes an attractive aroma. These are the few I got when I was bathing in the river just now, which has caused everyone to swallow their saliva, but no one has any objection to his orders.
"Knight Kaikuanxi, come here and let's discuss it?" At this time, Lu Xiupei shouted, and he and Tekashu, Lulie, and Xiusang were alone in a fire.
The Knight Kaikuanxi was also thinking about this and passed.
Seeing him coming, Lu Xiupei put a bowl of broth from the pot, took the bread and handed it to him: "This is a broth made of dried meat from the pilosu. Come and try it. It tastes very good. If you can have a sip of wine, it would be even better. But keep the wine!"
"Save the wine to drive away the wounded at critical moments." Knight Kaikuanxi hesitated for a moment, took the broth, took a sip, and it turned out to be extremely delicious. It was not a metaphor for rough horse meat.
After drinking two big bowls in a hurry, Knight Kaikuanxi put down the bowl and asked, "Knight Lu Xiu Pei, what do you want to say to me?"
"First of all, I want to introduce that I am the attendant of Eske's Earl Tarshaw. The lord noticed that his knight was trapped in the civil war in your country, so he sent me to help. I was originally a fourth-level warrior, on the verge of promotion. After entering your country, I encountered many bandits and the King's Army. Not long ago, I was promoted to a knight and obtained the lord's long-range enthronement..."
"Knight Lu Xiu Pei, you have to interrupt it. Please don't call your country, Bah, the king of Feisi, is not our lord, you don't need to pay respect to this!" Knight Kaikuanxi said in a low voice.
Under the fire, this knight in his thirty years old said such decisive words that Lu Xiupei couldn't help but be speechless.
"... Well, the situation in the Kingdom of Feisi is even more sinister than we expected. Large areas of the countryside have been destroyed and are no less than the magic disaster. We will still gain some convenience in the name of foreign caravans, otherwise it would not be so cheap."
"We only found you after chasing almost half of the kingdom!" When he said this, Lu Xiupei said to Tekashu, Lu Lie, and Xiusang.
"The Lord has an order." At this point, he raised his voice.
"Yes!" The three of them immediately knelt down and saluted.
"The Lord said, how can the manor be more important than the people. You can transfer immediately, take the people with you, and go to the Kingdom of Mesdi. If even the Kingdom of Mesdi is affected, come to the Kingdom of Esk. I will never give up my vassal."
"Yes!" the three of them responded, their eyes turning red again.
The lord, who were thousands of miles away, did not forget them, and sent people to send this warm command from thousands of miles away.
"...However, when the lord issued this order, he didn't expect the situation to deteriorate so quickly. Although there are no people in the conquest now, you must obey the order and retreat immediately." Lu Xiupei said at the end.
"yes!"
Knight Kaikuanxi didn't say anything, but when he heard this, deep sadness and envy appeared in his eyes.
"I thought I would let you, and you, Knight Kaikuanxi, take people to our manor on the border of the Mesdi Kingdom to repair, but after the specific contact with the situation, I think even the Mesdi Kingdom is not safe."
"Oh? What do you mean?" Tekasio asked quickly. The direction of retreat just now was the manor on the border of the Mesti Kingdom. Why is there another problem?
The battles these days have made Tekashu have a deep comrade-in-arms relationship with these knights.
"Because your reputation is too great." Lu Xiupei said with a serious expression: "I have heard of your achievements. Your Knights would rather die than surrender and go to various places. The king's army killed more than 3,000 people, and almost five corps were destroyed."
"Therefore, the King's Army pursued him closely. With your reputation, even if he fled to the manor on the border of the Mesti Kingdom, the King's Army would not let him go."
"Knight Luxiu Pei, we will not implicate you..." Knight Kaikuanxi said with some regret.
"Knight Kaikuanxi, you misunderstood what I mean. I mean, I want to say that the manor on the border of the Mesti Kingdom is no longer safe. Why not, go to the lord's territory!"
"You mean, go to the territory of the Earl of Tetasha, the Kingdom of Esk?"
"Yes, I have the authorization of the lord to handle everything here." Lu Xiupei said. As he was Romon's servant, he knew a lot about the situation in the territory. In the increasingly nervous situation, Romon still felt that there were very few reliable knights in the territory.
"Knight Kaikuanxi, I dare not agree to the fiefdom on behalf of the Lord, but if you go, you can get the title of a knight in the city and serve in the army."
"As long as you have the title of a knight, you are afraid that you will not be able to establish merits. If you have merits, you will have territory sooner or later."
"Knights Kaikuanxi, as far as I know, you have all lost the Lord, and they have all been executed by the King's Army. You should know the current situation. Now the King's Army of the Kingdom of Feisi has swept through most of the territory, and it is said that there is the support of a new god. In this case, it is basically impossible for you to attack again... Rather than this, why not go to our territory?"
"...We now have eleven knights. Although some are father and son knights, there are also seven knights. Will Count Tetasha accept us?" Knight Kaikuanxi couldn't help but show a strange look.
Speaking of this, Lu Xiupei was shocked. Although he had authorization, was it in Taihaikou?
The seven knights may be divided into seven knight leaders in the future.
However, he was shocked at the end of his youth and energy, but his face did not change color, and he said, "Of course, the lord is the new Count and originally needed a knight."
"...So that's the case, let me discuss it with them." Knight Kaikuanxi said, and he started with a little difficulty and headed over there.
After a while, the pile of knights started to talk.
This discussion took half an hour, and there were also knights crying and scolding from time to time.
Only then did Lu Xiupei realize that he was afraid and felt reckless.
I was promoted to a knight and was proud for a moment. Why did I speak to recruit these knights without obtaining Romon's clear order?
But the words have been spoken, and it is too late to regret.
Fortunately, I just added a sentence, and I was not so arrogant that I agreed to the fiefdom instead of my lord.
Just when his face was gloomy, Knight Kaikuanxi came back.
"Thanks to Count Tetasha for his kindness, we are willing to serve in his army."
"Okay, this is great!" Tekashu said happily.
"...If this is the case, as soon as we arrive at the Kingdom of Mesdi, we will immediately sail to the port. By the way, Knight Tekashu, will you go back to Jin to meet the Lord?"
"I really want to go, but there are three knight leaders on the border of the Kingdom of Mesti. I cannot give up. Lulie and Xiusang, you can go to me instead and pay homage to the Lord." Tekashu said regretfully and firmly: "I am the Lord's Knight, so I have the responsibility to protect his territory. If possible, the Kingdom of Feis, which belongs to the Lord's territory, will I also recover it!"
“…then, things were decided.”
