Just as Allen was telling everyone about the next plan that the dark forces might take, several large camps surrounded by huge vehicles had been built in the east of the Red Water River. The largest one was also holding a meeting at this time.
.
The meeting place was next to a bonfire in the center of the camp. On the bonfire, which was about to go out, a golden-colored roasted whole lamb was roasting. Several blond teenagers in tattered clothes and shackles, but who had been washed very clean, were carefully
He used a short dagger to cut up the mutton on the fire.
Soon the fragrant roasted whole lamb was divided and placed on two large silver plates inlaid with red emeralds. The teenagers carried them and walked step by step towards an extremely huge car decorated with gold and silver.
The luxury carriage drove away.
There were five fierce-looking burly men sitting in the carriage, especially the one sitting in the middle seat. Not only was he taller than the people sitting on both sides, but his face was covered with criss-crossing scars. Under the illumination of candles,
It makes the originally fierce face look even more ferocious.
At this time, four young slaves carrying mutton walked up the slanted wooden ladder. The first plate of mutton was smoothly placed on the wooden table in the carriage. The two young men who put down the silver plate stood there.
People on both sides of the carriage lowered their heads and breathed a sigh of relief. The sound was extremely soft, as if they were afraid of being heard by other people in the carriage.
When the second plate of mutton was placed on the table smoothly, the leader sitting at the main seat seemed to sense something. He snorted softly and stared at the two who had just put down the silver plate with vicious eyes.
juvenile.
With just a grunt, one of the teenagers collapsed to the ground, and the shackles tied to him also made a "clatter" sound, while the other teenager quickly took out from under the silver plate.
The dagger used to cut mutton was thrown at the leader on the main seat, and then he turned around and ran away regardless of the result.
However, as a slave, the shackles on his legs greatly restricted the young man's escape speed. A bald man sitting at the end of the table reached out very quickly, grabbed the young man's slender neck, and gently played with it.
, and saw the young man’s face clearly.
The young man whose neck was strangled kept beating the bald man's muscular arms with both hands, his face turned red from the suffocation, and he kept making painful whimpers from his mouth.
The bald man laughed heartily, then turned back to the leader sitting in the main seat and said: "Lord Ashur, this bastard is Algernon's son, and he is here for revenge."
The ferocious-looking Ashur gently rubbed his luxuriously decorated gold handle with his right hand. After recalling it for a moment, he realized that he did not know the name, so he asked: "Algernon? Who? What are you reporting?
hatred?"
The big man sitting at the bottom on the other side stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Kurda, what nonsense are you talking about? Just tell your Excellency that the one who was tied to the back of the carriage and dragged to death last week was
Already."
Ashur then said with a look of realization: "Oh, he's the northerner who doesn't work hard and calls for rest, isn't he? I remembered it, no wonder."
Kurda, with a sulky expression on his face, pushed the struggling blond boy to his knees with one hand, and then glared at Hamish who interrupted, but he did not get angry immediately, but lowered his head to
Ashur said: "Yes, sir, this is his son, Brendan"
Ashur raised his eyebrows, glanced at the boy kneeling on the ground, and laughed: "Hahahaha, what a courageous young man. Kurda, give him twenty lashes and hang him at the door of the camp.
Let the vultures gnaw at his flesh and blood day and night, well, let’s kill the other three as well.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the young man who was standing on both sides with his head lowered and not daring to speak, trembled and collapsed to the ground, and was then dragged out by the Dongyi soldiers called by Kurda amidst screams.
After a while, "pop", "pop", "pop", the sound of whips mixed with a few particularly shrill shouts reached the carriage, and then the screams of unbearable pain rang out. This shrill scream
The sound did not affect the five big men in the car. They tore into the roast mutton happily and drank mellow ale from time to time. It seemed that what happened outside had nothing to do with them.
A whole roasted lamb was quickly eaten up by five big men. After taking another sip of ale, Ashur asked the first subordinate on the left: "Bar, north of Red River Town
What do people say? Are they willing to surrender?"
Barr, who had fair skin and took care of himself extremely neatly, said: "Sir, the people of Red River Town paid tribute with a large amount of ale and some grain, hoping that we would let their town go. I haven't given them the accurate information yet.
Reply, do you think?"
After hearing this, Ashur laughed contemptuously and said: "It doesn't matter whether you give it or not. Since they are so ignorant, there should be more than 4,000 people from Baal and Akkad's tribe combined."
On the right side of Ashur, sat a big man with messy hair and dark skin. He was the Akkad in Ashur's mouth. He said respectfully: "Yes, sir, this time I serve the Lord Demon Lord."
Order, bring everyone here."
"Okay!" Ashur's sinister eyes swept around Barr's face and continued: "Then starting from tomorrow, you two tribes will prepare to attack Red River Town. All the slaves and wealth harvested will
Turn over half of the supplies, and the rest belongs to you."
At this time, Barr's fair face showed a reluctant expression. As the branch of the Baltra people closest to the Red Water River, he often led his tribal cavalry to plunder on the plains west of the Red Water River.
Although some unwilling northerners rebelled against the troops led by Barr, they were often killed or enslaved. Until four years ago, he found himself in a dense forest at the corner of the Redwater River and the Running River.
, a small human town was discovered.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After two bloody battles, the northerners in Honghe Town gave in helplessly. In the wild, they could not defeat these extremely ferocious Dongyi people.
Only behind the wooden walls can we fight the invading enemies on a par.
But they still have to live. They need to go out of the city to cultivate fields and pick wild fruits. Being surrounded in the city is nothing more than a dead end. Then the lord of Red River Town proposed an agreement with Baal. Red River Town paid tribute to a large amount of ale every year in exchange for Baal.
of peaceful coexistence.
Baal also suffered a lot of casualties among tribal warriors in his two attacks on Honghe Town. He was already considering the issue of gains and losses. He forced the attack on Honghe Town. Even if he succeeded, his tribe would suffer heavy losses, and the Dongyi tribes would suffer heavy losses.
Tribes are predators of the jungle. Even if they belong to the same ethnic group, as long as their strength weakens, they will become blood prey surrounded by vultures.
Barr, who had suffered considerable losses, actually had plans to quit.
The proposal of Red River Town played into Barr's heart. In the following four years, Barr traded the ale offered to him by Red River Town to tribes of other ethnic groups in exchange for a considerable number of slaves and weapons, and his strength gradually grew. At this time, he was already
The second most powerful force among the Baltras.
However, Baal concealed all this, because once Ashur knew about it, he would definitely get a share of the pie, or even take away all of it.
Now, not only can’t get the ale, but also Akkad will get a share of the pie. Barr is naturally reluctant, but no matter how reluctant he is, he has to swallow this resentment and answer respectfully: "Yes,
Sir, I will prepare it as soon as I get back."
What Barr didn't know was that his leader Ashur had known everything three years ago, but he just didn't have an attack. And the reluctance on his face was clearly visible to Ashur.
But Ashur didn't care. The pigs had to be fattened before they had to be slaughtered. If Sauron hadn't assigned him the task this time, he would have directly annexed Baal's tribe in the near future, and now Ashur
You first extinguished Barr's desire to continue to obtain benefits.
He enjoys the feeling of making others angry, scared, and powerless against him.
What Ashur is doing now and what he originally planned to do are nothing among the Dongyi tribes. Sauron is only concerned about whether these Dongyi people are obedient. As for how the Dongyi people want to play with their rights.
He didn't care about the game at all, he just wanted to kill some humans.
About three months ago, Sauron arranged for Khamul to summon Ashur and ordered the current leader of the Baltras to attack the northern area of the River Run and occupy the vast plains there.
Sauron had not thought about wiping out the northern humans and dwarves in this operation. Not to mention whether these Baltra people could do it, if the war was too fierce, it would inevitably cause elves, Luo
Khan, Gondor's full counterattack.
He doesn't want to break out into a full-scale war with other forces in Middle-earth, and Sauron's preparations are also insufficient.
It's just that Azog's complete failure in the Lonely Mountain made Sauron a little unbearable. If Azog could cause some losses to the elves or dwarves, even if the elves or dwarves died as kings, Sauron would not be so angry in his heart.
After all, there were many Orcs, and they died as soon as they died, but there was no achievement at all, making Sauron unable to accept this result.
Now, the angry Dark Lord would naturally not let the humans and dwarves of Rovanian have an easy time, so he sent the Baltras, a Dongyi tribe with tens of thousands of people, to let these servants target those who had embarrassed him.
For those two races, as for the elves hiding in the black forest, Sauron naturally arranged other means.
But of course Ashur didn't know Sauron's other plans. He was just faithfully executing the Dark Lord's orders. Of course, he would also get what he wanted in this operation.
After receiving the order, Akkad and Baal immediately returned to their tribes to prepare for the attack on Red River Town.
Kurda and Amish, who had not reaped any benefits, walked out of Ashur's luxury carriage, ignoring the three disembodied heads next to them. Amidst the barking of dogs, they roughly picked up and received twenty lashes.
Brendan dragged him to the entrance of the camp. The blood seeping from the wound drew two crooked blood lines along the boy's scarred feet.
Then, Kurda touched his bald head and watched Amish lift the bruised blond boy up while laughing, and then they both mounted their own horses and drove away.
At this time, several figures showed their heads on the hills far away from the camp gate. They were the six Twilight Knights led by Hermione, and Malherby from Red River Town.
Their group had just arrived at Red River Town half a month ago. However, they had not rested for long, and the horses that had galloped all the way had not put on much fat. Barr led a small number of tribal knights and appeared at the gate of Red River Town.
, clamoring for the people of Honghe Town to surrender obediently.
Baal was also in charge, and he thought that he had an agreement with Red River Town and that there had been no problems over the years, so he came over with only a few dozen cavalry, but little did he know that he was walking around the gate of hell.
After Horimion learned that the humans in front of him were the enemies of his lord, he immediately took out the Noldor sigil bow and prepared to shoot them, but was stopped by the startled Malherbi desperately.
Hermione didn't take these dozens of human cavalry seriously at all. He and the six Twilight Knights could rely on the extremely fast and extremely durable elf horses, as well as his own powerful shooting skills.
On the vast plains, chase the enemy to death.
But of course Malherby couldn't let this happen. After Horimion killed Baal, he patted his butt and walked away gracefully. The rest was left to Red River Town to deal with.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Needless to say what will happen at that time, eight achievements will be the result of the destruction of a city and the death of people.
It was Malherbi's father who came out to communicate with Barr, and finally the Dongyi people left Honghe Town in large numbers of carriages.
And Hermione led six Twilight Knights and followed the traces of Baal's departure at night. After several days of tracking, they came to the bank of the Red Water River. Twenty or thirty Dongyi people
Soldiers guarding a simple wooden bridge.
After a brief observation, Hermione prepared to lead the Twilight Knight, relying on the speed of the elf horse to forcefully cross the bridge and eliminate the enemy in front of him.
However, Malherbi, who followed, stopped them and took Hermione and others across the Red Water River from a ford downstream.
However, Hermione still did not let go of the twenty or thirty enemy soldiers. He divided the six Twilight Knights into two teams. He led two of them to run up from the east bank of the Red Water River, and the other four
Mingze came in from the west bank, and with the help of surprise, killed the soldiers guarding the bridge.
Then they continued to follow the trail, and after galloping for a while, they arrived at the gate of Ashur's camp. After observing for a while, they saw Brendan being hung on the beam of the gate.
However, when Malherbi was on the hill, looking at the endless Dongyi camp, his heart was directly filled with despair. He knew that the enemy had such strength and it was impossible to be moved by such a small amount of supplies.
, it was obvious that his father had been tricked by Barr.
And Hermione didn't care what Malherby was thinking, nor did he care about the fate of Red River Town. He came to investigate the enemy's situation, and after finding out, he could go back and report to Allen.
It's just that the way the Dongyi people set up camp was different from what he had seen before. Some of them slept in tents, while some slept directly in their cars. Hermione couldn't rely on the tents at all.
to calculate the approximate number of enemies.
Hermione was thinking about whether to take some risks, grab his tongue, and obtain some information about the enemy.
At this moment, Brendan, who was hanging on the beam, woke up from his coma. Even though his body was very weak, he still made some slight struggling movements. This scene was watched by Hermione
In eyes.
Then Horimion greeted the six Twilight Knights behind him, then patted Malherbe, who was still in a daze, and said matter-of-factly: "You can ride on your horse and leave first. The noise may be a bit loud in a while.
Lest a large number of enemies come out and leave you here."
Malherby didn't know what Hermione and the others were going to do, but the battle that took place by the river made the northerner know how powerful Mr. Allen of Wilderness Town had arranged to escort him.
Yes, Malherby's eyes suddenly lit up when he thought of this, as well as the lord of Wilderness Town. Malherby, who thought of something, nodded to Hermione, rode his horse, and quickly headed towards where he came from.
He ran away, eager to go back and have a chat with his father.
The Dongyi soldiers guarding the gate of the camp looked at Brendon, who was dripping blood while struggling, and yawned boredly. He had seen this kind of scene too many times, and every once in a while, he would
Some ignorant people were hanged here, and they were not necessarily slaves.
After yawning, the Dongyi soldier took out a water bag from his waist, took a shallow sip, smacked his lips, picked up the water bag again, raised his neck and took another sip.
[A book-chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend I have known for ten years, Yeguoyuedu! It is so easy to use. I rely on this app to read and listen to books while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here.yeguoyuedu]
This water bag contains some ale, which Ashur just distributed during the day. Among the Dongyi tribe, the ale produced in Honghe Town is already a pretty good drink.
Ashur also saw that his soldiers were working very hard on the road these days, so he took the ale brought back by Baal and distributed it all to his cronies. Therefore, it is no wonder that Baal was unwilling to report his harvest to Ashur.
As for this soldier who was drinking ale, before his second sip of wine fell into his stomach, a cone-headed arrow had already penetrated his neck and slit his aorta. Blood mixed with the wine flowed from his mouth.
Welled out.
Having the same experience as him, there were more than a dozen Dongyi soldiers standing on the roofs of cars on both sides of the gate. In a short period of time, they were hit by arrows and fell to the ground. This movement soon attracted other Dongyi soldiers in the camp.
The attention of the barbarian soldiers.
And in the darkness outside the camp gate, a cavalry rushed out quickly. It was Horimion riding an elf horse. The Noldor sigil bow in his hand was fully drawn, and he suddenly released the Noldor sigil bow, directly hanging Brun.
The climbing rope was shot off, and Brendan, who was hanging, widened his eyes and looked at the knight rushing towards him in surprise, and then he fell heavily to the ground.
During the charge, Horimion slightly slowed down the speed of some of the elven horses. Then he leaned down and picked up Brendon with one hand. Then he pulled the horse's head and reversed its direction. Before the Dongyi Cavalry
Under angry gazes, he rushed out of the camp gate.
The first group of Dongyi cavalry to react shouted to their horses and chased in the direction of Hermione.
At this time, waves of arrows flew out from the darkness, shooting down the Dongyi cavalry who wanted to rush out of the gate.
And Hermione disappeared into the darkness in this short period of time. There was a sound of horse hooves, and he gradually moved away from Ashur's camp until he disappeared.
A moment later, a large group of Dongyi cavalry and their hounds chased out of the camp gate amidst Ashur's angry shouts.
