When they first arrived, they saw plumes of black smoke appearing in the town.
Prince Ute, who was sitting in the luxurious carriage, was even more surprised and said: "Have they already taken Norin Town?"
"Yes, Your Highness, I have sent people to confirm that they have captured Nolin Town." General Weiss, who was riding a horse beside him, nodded.
"Then will they be able to capture Keji City soon?" Prince Ute was full of hope for the future, dreaming of regaining all his territories and eventually supporting other territories.
His father said that whoever regains the territory belongs to whom. He sometimes fantasizes about how great it would be to regain the entire empire, then he would be the emperor.
"It's hard to say. After all, there are only 10,000 ratmen in Nolin Town, but there are 100,000 ratmen in Keji City, and our military strength is..." General Weiss hesitated. He wanted to say that our army was defeated by Prince Ritter.
His Highness took him away, but he was afraid of causing Ute's dissatisfaction.
Ute obviously knew what he was talking about, and there was nothing he could do about it. After all, everyone in the country knew that His Majesty the Emperor favored the second prince.
No, he made the second prince a marshal, and let the first prince handle the historical documents. He let him, the third prince, come out to make soy sauce without giving money or soldiers.
Those soldiers were recruited with money from his territory, but were eventually taken away by the second prince, leaving him with only 5,000 guards.
"Hey, I understand." Ute looked listless. He felt that fate had been against him. The troops recruited from other worlds still refused to obey his command. There was nothing he could do about it.
When Qin Feng walked into Nuolin Town, the barbarian warriors were already cleaning the battlefield here.
They dragged away the corpses of the rat men and boiled them in iron pots, which would become their food. The corpses of the barbarians were all piled together and allowed to rot.
When he reached a cave and stopped, Qin Feng squatted down and took a look. There were at least 100 rat men hiding in it. There were countless caves nearby.
These wererats were much smarter than White Fang, at least they were able to use their talents to this extent.
Qin Feng turned to look at the corpses of the barbarians. In addition to being slashed with swords and spears, there was black blood flowing out of the corners of their mouths.
And poison?...White Fang and the others don't know these things...
"Let's go out and camp outside. There's a bit of chaos here..." Qin Feng turned and walked out of the city. The smell of meat was everywhere in the town.
"Hey, isn't this Governor Qin Feng? It's too late..." Cook and others led a group of barbarians to stop Qin Feng.
"We have wiped out 10,000 ratmen, which is five times your number. You will definitely lose. You just wait to go back and be punished by us. We will scrape off the flesh from your body bit by bit and eat it for you to see...
..." Cook laughed while eating the half-cooked rat meat.
Qin Feng turned around and glanced, well, he has one less brother, the rat man is actually so powerful...
"You lost a brother?" Qin Feng said bluntly.
"You... no matter what you say, you will definitely lose..." Cook left angrily. He was at a loss in this battle. You must know that there are very few supplies in the wild land. If you want to become a master-level strongman,
They have to work for Garcia, but if one of them dies in battle now, such a record will definitely make their employer dissatisfied, and maybe the resources will be allocated to everyone in Tas.
Let Truman and the others fight next time... Well, that's it... Cook thought to himself, smiling unknowingly. He thought he was extremely smart.
After setting up camp outside the town, Qin Feng was summoned to his tent by Prince Ute again. This time he was the only one, and neither Truman nor Cook saw anyone.
Even outside, the royal family of the Holy Yuan Empire was still luxurious. Inside the big tent, not only were the floors paved with precious carpets, but there were countless gold ornaments inside.
When he walked into the big tent, he saw General Ute and Weiss sitting there waiting. Qin Feng pulled a chair and sat opposite Weiss.
"I have learned about the achievements of those barbarians. They wiped out 10,000 ratmen and lost nearly 8,000 of them. I am a little disappointed with them now..."
Prince Ute stared at Qin Feng's face and said seriously: "If I don't want to hire you now, can you refund the money?"
Qin Feng smiled and said: "We haven't received a penny from you. If you want to withdraw, you have to find those mages."
"Okay, I know this won't work." Ute gave up his plan to return the money and continued: "There are still 100,000 rat troops in Keji City. How can we destroy them? We only have 17,000 people in total now.
.”
Qin Feng nodded, "What you said makes sense. I think it's better to ask Prince Rite to bring some troops to destroy the rat people. Our strength is really too weak..."
"No..." Ute immediately refused, "I won't beg him even if I die."
"Okay, then just pretend I didn't say anything." Qin Feng shrugged.
"Your mission is to help me capture Keji City. If I fail to do so, I will have reason to complain to the Mage Association. You will have to pay me liquidated damages..."
After many days of frustration and grievances, Wu Te stared at Qin Feng fiercely, as if he wanted to dump all his dissatisfaction on Qin Feng.
In his mind, Qin Feng and Truman were not the same group, and they were still the weakest. Otherwise, Truman wouldn't have been rejecting him, right?
Qin Feng's eyes narrowed at this time, "Are you threatening me?"
General Weiss suddenly twitched half of his sword and threatened directly: "Watch your tone, mercenary, the person in front of you is the noble prince."
"Yes, I am His Royal Highness, you need to apologize to me..." Prince Ute seemed to have found his Zeng Jin self again, and raised his chin proudly.
In Qin Feng's eyes, this is just a child who has not grown up, hoping to gain some confidence from others.
Haha, I won't spoil you... Qin Feng stood up from the chair and said with a smile: "I hope you can still show your current arrogance in front of the rat army. From now on, I will not accompany you anymore."
…”
Qin Feng strode outside. There was no need to stay here. Even before human beings were destroyed, they still did not forget to show off their sense of superiority, ha...
"Stop, who told you to leave?" Weiss immediately pulled out the sword in his hand and shouted at the same time, "Guard, stop him..."
A group of soldiers immediately surrounded the entire tent, with their swords and spears unsheathed, pointing directly at Qin Feng at the door.
"Mercenary, you can only obtain forgiveness by kneeling at the feet of His Highness Ute, otherwise you will die here..." General Weiss looked at him seriously. If he said anything different, it seemed that his sword would be cut down.
"Are you trying to control me?" Qin Feng looked at them funny, "What's the point? In a month, we will go back, and you will get nothing."
"Of course, you don't have any good feelings towards me now..."
General Weiss frowned and looked at Prince Ute with some confusion. At this time, he didn't understand why Prince Ute asked him to do this.
"No, I asked those mages. As long as someone voluntarily stays here and is loyal to me, he can stay here forever..." Ute took out a golden scroll from his arms and showed it to Qin Feng for a while.
"As long as you sign this pledge of allegiance, you will be mine, and no one will be able to do anything to you..." Ute had a confident expression on his face.
He had thought about this plan for a long time, and he just happened to implement it on the weakest mercenary.
"Ha, even a fifth-level magician can't do anything to you?" Qin Feng smiled coldly, but it was like acupuncture in the ears of Ute and Weiss.
"What do you mean?" Ute's eyes were blank. How could this be related to a fifth-level magician?
"Of course we have the support of magicians behind us. Even if we kill you, your Emperor may not avenge you..." Qin Feng stood at the door and didn't seem to be worried at all. He was thinking at this moment.
Are you considering killing him?
Well, if I kill him, this game will be over. I will lose then. I’d better keep him alive for a few days...
Qin Feng saw that the two men were no longer as arrogant as before, but they didn't say anything anymore, so he knew that they had surrendered, but he didn't say anything anymore out of shame.
"Hmph..." Qin Feng expressed slight dissatisfaction, knocked away the guard in front of him, and left gracefully.
"Stay back...hey..." General Weiss asked the guards to return to their posts, then glanced at Ute and sighed, this time it was a waste of time. They would never think of what was behind them.
There are actually magicians, and such energy is no longer something they can resist.
Tonight, Ute was completely sleepless. The good plan he finally thought of went bankrupt before it even started, and he even offended the last mercenary.
Early the next morning, the army began to move forward. This time all the teams set off together, but their mentality was different.
Cook and others just wanted Truman to contribute. They did not want to participate in the war anymore. They had already obtained enough rat tails.
Truman didn't think the Rat Men were that powerful. He believed that his army would be able to defeat them, and he wanted to have a battle with the Rat Men so that Garcia would be impressed by them.
Qin Feng didn't care. Ever since he knew that the rat men's combat power was pretty good, he thought he couldn't defeat the 100,000 rat men who were about to come, so it would be easy to escape.
As for Ute and others, they are in deep despair. They only have 17,000 people in total. It's weird to be able to defeat the rat men. Moreover, the army they can control is only 5,000 people. Their relationship with Qin Feng was also disturbed by them last night.
.
In the jungle where the army passed by, three rat men were observing them carefully. They did not leave until they confirmed the number of human soldiers, and quickly brought the news here to their Lord Finger Claw.
When they left the jungle, a huge black hawk was flying in the sky, and its sharp eyes reflected the three mice.
Qin Feng, who was riding on horseback, murmured: "Ratman scouts, it seems that these ratmen have developed their own army system. No wonder they are so powerful..."
The black hawk in the sky flew forward again, and soon saw Truman and his group below.
They have been walking at the front of the team and are now arranging their formation.
The barbarian warriors behind them had to stop for this, and were laughing and raising their toes to watch them set up their formation.
