When Malherby led the two ugly men to find Herbert in the empty lord's house, the face of the nearly fifty-year-old lord became extremely ugly in an instant. It was obvious that he
Meet these two guys.
At this time, he was sitting on the table, looking at the two people who were tied up, and fell into a long silence.
Malherby on the side looked at his gloomy father and guessed that this matter must not be simple. I am afraid that someone in his family has been involved. Although he had always expected this result, his mood was unavoidable.
became gloomy.
After all, no matter which one they are, they are the family members he has been with day and night for the past twenty or thirty years.
After a long time, Herbert said slightly tiredly: "Son, you have done a good job in this matter. Go and do your work. Remember to entertain your elf friends for me."
Malherbe knew what his father was going to do, and he was unwilling to do it in front of him. He saluted his father wisely, and then said: "I will do it, father."
After finishing speaking, he turned and walked towards the door, but Herbert's voice came from behind again: "Malherby, don't tell anyone else about this matter!"
"I know, Father."
Malherby then left Herbert's room, and the matter was no longer under his control. Malherby did not want to get too involved, after all, he was not the lord of Red River Town yet.
A few days later, news spread among the townspeople who had not yet left, which shocked everyone.
The lord's two sons accidentally broke their legs while riding horses, and their uncle Theodore will be responsible for sending them to River Valley City for treatment. Before the injuries recover, the two lord heirs cannot
May come back again.
Malherby, who had been setting off with a group of townspeople for several days, did not know that he had won the competition at this time and became the only heir to the lordship of Red River Town. As he was riding on the horse, he was still thinking about how to deal with Allen.
Through negotiation, you can obtain the qualifications of a vassal from this king.
While Malherbi was deep in thought, the enemies of the northern humans, Baal and Akkad, two Dongyi warlords, had brought their soldiers and slaves to the forest where Red River Town was located.
.
This speed far exceeded Malherby's speculation, at least four or five days ahead of schedule.
Baal, who has his own little Jiujiu, is actually not willing to act so fast. He also wants to get more supplies from his leader Ashur before leaving, so the speed of his preparation seems a bit slow.
He couldn't keep up with Akkad, who was more loyal than him.
Akkad was ready to set off the next day after receiving the order, while Baal was still slowly dismantling the camp's buildings.
Soon, Barr was summoned to Ashur's camp again in the afternoon of the same day. What greeted him was a slap in the face, rude and dirty words, and even savage words.
The Dongyi people all found it a bit unbearable.
After scolding, Ashur did not become calmer because of venting. Instead, his face became more ferocious, and the scars on his face turned blood red due to anger. With his murderous eyes, he secretly looked inside the car.
The guard of the situation quickly looked away.
Ashur's words at this time were cruel and gloomy, and he was issuing an ultimatum to Baal.
"Baal!
I don’t care what your reasons are, tomorrow is tomorrow, if your tribe hasn’t taken action yet, then you don’t need to take action anymore, I will let you stay here forever, do you understand?”
Facing the furious Ashur, Baal, who was kneeling on the ground, did not dare to refute at all. As for the supply matter, he did not even dare to mention a word, but kept showing weakness to the angry Ashur.
"Yes, yes, yes, sir, I'll leave right away, leave right away."
"get out!
"
Barr, who climbed out of Ashur's cart in panic, quickly learned something from Ashur's other men.
Just last night, several elven cavalry openly kidnapped Brendon at the gate of Ashur's camp, and killed more than a dozen soldiers guarding the camp gate. They chased dozens of elite cavalry, and finally
Only four people came back, and they all came back empty-handed with fear on their faces.
According to Ashur's character, if there were not four bruised corpses hanging at the door, he would have endured a lot. Now he was just venting his anger on Baal.
After learning what happened, Barr was filled with joy. If such a powerful elf had arrived when he was lifting Brendan, his life would have been lost at the gate of the camp.
Wouldn't that be an unjust death?
He was indeed lucky. At that time, Hermione was busy detecting the situation in the enemy camp and had not yet thought of killing people.
Now, under Ashur's furious urging, Baal spent just one night to bring all his belongings, join Akkad's team, and set off in a mighty way.
Among them are more than 4,000 Dongyi people and more than 2,000 northern slaves, totaling more than 6,000 people.
When they reached the bridge of the Red Water River, Barr discovered that the soldiers he had left to guard had begun to stink. Barr had no time to get angry and speculate, and immediately ordered his soldiers to urge the slaves to cut down trees and make
A simple raft can be used to arrange for people to cross the river and repair the bridge.
The Dongyi people's work of repairing the bridge did buy some time for the residents of Honghe Town to migrate. Under the urging of the envoy sent by Ashur, Baal and Akkad led the tribe after crossing the Hongshui River.
Instead of stopping to build the camp as Malherbe thought, he headed directly towards Red River Town.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! When Herbert stepped on the last boat to leave Red River Town, Barr also brought his elite cavalry to his "annex" Red River Town again.
Nearby, he wanted to make one last attempt to see if he could deceive the gate of Honghe Town, so as to prevent his soldiers from dying due to the attack on the city.
However, the quiet atmosphere around him made the Rune warlord feel that something was not right. At this time in the past, there should have been a large number of northern humans farming in the fields.
This unusual situation made Barr whip the rune horse on his crotch, and quickly came to the open gate of Honghe Town. Then dozens of cavalry, led by Barr, poured into this place for the first time.
A gathering point for humans.
Looking at the desolate Red River Town, Barr yelled angrily: "Search for me, don't even let me go to the doghouse."
A moment later, dozens of cavalrymen gathered around Barr again, shouting one after another.
"There's no one in the south."
"My lord, not even a dog was found."
"There's no one in the east either."
"There's not much left in the biggest house in the center of town."
"Lord Barr, I found a chicken in the corner. Let's roast it tonight."
Barr, who is insidious, greedy, hypocritical, and bully, is extremely unwilling to accept the strong. How can he not know that the people in Red River Town have escaped before them.
"Why is this happening? I obviously comforted Herbert nicely before I left. They shouldn't run so fast, right?"
Barr's brain was running crazily at this moment, and he wanted to find out where the problem lay. He recalled everything that had happened during this period, and suddenly thought of Brendan who had been rescued.
"Brenden? Brendan!
It must be that the rescued bastard heard what Ashur said in a loud voice after being beaten, which caused the people in Honghe Town to get the news in advance and run away. What should I do? What should I do?!"
Although the location of Red River Town was not provided by Barr to Ashur, when his boss read the name of Red River Town, Barr knew that he could not hide it. He immediately said that he and Herbert, the lord of Red River Town, had something in common.
Due to trade concerns, you can try to persuade Red River Town to attach itself to the Baltra people.
Ashur agreed. However, the current situation is that after Barr talked with the people in Honghe Town, the whole town became empty. How can Barr explain this to Ashur? Could it be that because your voice is too loud, boss, Honghe
Would the people in this town be able to run so fast?
Then you haven't been choked alive?
Thinking about the terrible punishment he might face, Ashur's brain continued to work crazily, and soon he thought of the key point.
"No, it's only been a few days and the town has been moved so cleanly. They shouldn't be able to go far. If they can catch up, they can definitely catch up!
"
Barr, who seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw when he was drowning, shouted to his cronies around him: "Go and inform Akkad and ask him to lead the cavalry to come here as fast as possible. The rest of the people, follow me."
Chase."
After saying that, Barr led most of the cavalry out of Red River Town and chased westward along the Running River. Soon he saw the faint shadows of several small boats in the water.
That was Herbert and his party who had just sailed out of Red River Town. After all, the small boat built by humans was not blessed by magical power. It relied on human power to row on the river. The speed would definitely not be much faster, not to mention that it was slightly calm.
The river section is still countercurrent.

At this time, Herbert was on the boat thinking about how to negotiate with King Allen in his son's mouth, and what price he had to pay to obtain a rich land for his people.
However, the sound of horse hooves coming from the shore directly interrupted his thoughts. Herbert knew that this was the Dongyi cavalry chasing after him.
Although Malherby had made certain speculations about the Dongyi people's movements at the previous family meeting, he finally vowed that he would be able to make it in time.
But Herbert, who had far more life experience than Malherby, naturally knew the truth about the impermanence of things. No matter how well planned, accidents will always surprise or frighten you.
So Herbert, the lord of Red River Town, took five small boats with only a few dozen longbowmen under his command, and walked at the back of the team.
To prevent any unexpected situations, after all, dozens of miles ahead of them is a fleet full of townspeople and supplies.
Most of the townspeople had left one after another a few days ago, taking away all the livestock in Honghe Town. At this time, the sound of horse hooves coming from the east, who else could be heard besides the Dongyi people?
"The enemy is attacking, prepare for battle."
Herbert shouted, picked up the huge cedar bow next to him, and stared at Barr and others who were gradually approaching from a distance. The archers on the surrounding boats also made the same move as Herbert.
"Boys, row towards the south bank first. Don't stay stupidly in the middle of the river. What we have in our hands are fir longbows. The enemy's shooting distance is far inferior to ours."
Following Herbert's order, the boat gradually moved away from the middle of the river and moved closer to the south bank. At this time, Barr, who was leading the cavalry to catch up, naturally saw this scene. He reined in his horse and stopped on the north bank, preparing to follow Herbert.
Say something to trick people back.
"shooting."
Looking at Barr and others parked on the shore, Herbert gave the order to shoot without any hesitation. He had long disliked Barr. If it weren't for the tribe to have a relatively stable life, who would be willing to fight with Barr?
My feud has been greeted with a smile for so many years.
Now that the faces of both sides have been torn apart, Herbert feels that he has nothing to talk about with Barr. Taking the initiative to launch an attack to attract the attention of these Dongyi cavalry is the most important thing to do at the moment.

It's just that the effect of this wave of arrow rain was very poor. It only killed a few Dongyi cavalry who stayed on the shore. After all, there was a distance of tens of meters between the two sides. In addition, the boat was moving forward, and the long shots shot while shaking.
The accuracy of the archers has dropped a lot. After all, they are not professional sailors and have no experience in shooting on ships.
However, the rune horse under Barr's crotch was directly hit in the head by this wave of arrows, and then fell to the ground and died without any warning, knocking the shocked Barr to the ground.
He really didn't expect that the northerner who greeted him with a smile in the past would actually attack him without saying a word.
Barr, who quickly got up from the ground, had recovered from his shock. He shouted loudly: "Shoot, shoot for me."
After shouting, he got on a rune horse that had lost its rider and shouted loudly to Herbert on the ship: "I will definitely catch you, torture your family in front of you, and enslave your people."
Herbert, who was dozens of meters away, looked at the enemy arrows falling into the water one after another, and knew that the small short bows in the hands of the Dongyi people could not shoot accurately at such a long distance.
Facing Barr's clamor at this time, he didn't pay attention at all. Instead, he opened the fir bow in his hand again and aimed at Barr and the others.
This time the Dongyi cavalry would definitely not wait obediently on the shore to be shot. After seeing that their bows and arrows were at a disadvantage in terms of shooting range, they quickly hit their horses and disappeared in front of Herbert's eyes, leaving no room for the longbowmen.
opportunity for them to shoot.
However, they did not go far. Instead, under the leadership of Barr, they followed the boats in the river not far from the shore, because the width of the river was not constant. Barr knew that not far ahead,
There was an extremely narrow and rapid river channel, where he planned to show Herbert a good look.
Herbert, who had been to the rushing river several times, naturally knew this. Not only did he not ask his men to speed up the boating, but he also made it slower and slower. His main purpose was to use himself as bait to entangle the Dongyi people.
The cavalry instead of running for their lives from the Dongyi people.
In this way, the two teams faced off on two different roads, and neither could do anything to help the other.
Half a day later, the sound of more horse hooves came from the east. It was Akkad who came with more Dongyi cavalry.
