Lord: Starting from the Pit-Dwelling Courtyard

Chapter 141 The Remnants of the Army

Ron coughed twice.

"It's perfectly normal for me to laugh a couple of times when I'm happy!"

Leonardo da Vinci was the first to react, quickly echoing, "Yes, yes, it's normal for the lord to laugh a little when he's happy." But in his heart, he was thinking: Last time you laughed, Frederick's mercenary group was almost wiped out.

Hilden nodded in agreement.

"Fine, your son can stay!"

Hilden quickly took his leave and departed Tieling Town as fast as he could.

Outside Fengshou Town, a remnant army of about a hundred men gazed at the town's walls, which were several hundred meters away.

Xinuo stared blankly and said, "When did such a magnificent city wall appear here? It must be twenty or thirty meters high!"

The other leaders also looked numb, but couldn't help but marvel when they saw the city walls.

Cassie said with a grim expression, "If our territory had walls like these, it wouldn't have been so easily breached."

.

This remnant army did not belong to the same territory, but to four different territories. After their territories were breached, they took advantage of the chaos to break through the encirclement and escape here after being pursued and intercepted by goblins.

After entering the area of ​​the Earth Dragon Canyon, the goblins stopped pursuing, as if there was some great terror in this area.

But upon seeing the city walls, they realized what great terror lay within.

The territory capable of building such walls must possess terrifying power.

Xinuo suddenly pointed to the city wall and said, "Look, there seems to be a light flashing in that spot on the city wall."

After carefully examining the two people, Cassie instinctively felt fear.

"Oh no, we've been discovered."

Mark shook his head: "It's over 600 meters away. Even from the city wall, we're not much bigger than chicks. Unless we move as a group, how can they see us?"

"There's something wrong with that light!" Cassie said with certainty. "It must be some kind of long-range reconnaissance spell."

Soon, they saw the city gates open.

A hundred-strong infantry force rushed towards them at a speed far exceeding that of humans.

Having been chased by goblins so many times lately, Mark immediately recognized one: "That's a big goblin! Run! This place has been taken over by goblins!"

They turned and ran, but before they had gone fifty meters, they heard the sound of horses' hooves directly in front of them.

Upon hearing the sound of horses' hooves, they breathed a sigh of relief and quickened their pace towards the sound.

In the Blackthorn Wasteland, only humans ride horses; goblins ride the Wasteland Giant Wolf.

Hilden led more than twenty knights to immediately stop the hundred-man team.

This hundred-man team was ragged and didn't even have any decent weapons.

Upon seeing Hilden, Mark hurriedly shouted, "Sir Knight, a goblin armored infantry unit is pursuing us. Get ready, we will attack together with you during your charge!"

Upon hearing Mark's words, Sino and Cassie fell silent.

Along the way, they relied on this tactic to abandon countless fellow travelers, deceiving them into covering their retreat.

Hilden didn't move; instead, he surrounded them. Mark was extremely anxious; he could see that the heavy infantry of the Big Goblin were less than a hundred meters away from them.

Mark saw that Hilden remained unmoved and instantly realized that the knights in front of him must be traitors.

"Brothers, let's fight our way out! Even if we die, we'll take one of them down with us."

Hilden coldly looked at the remnants of the army and slowly raised his hand.

The knights suddenly drew a light crossbow from their backs.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh————

The men who were charging in a chaotic frenzy fell in droves. Xinuo was hit by an arrow and fell to the ground. Cassie struggled to swing his longsword to block the incoming crossbow bolts.

As for Mark, who shouted the loudest slogans, he hid in the team.

Soon, Thun arrived with his Green Heavy Guards. By then, there were already a dozen or so corpses and more than twenty wounded lying on the ground.

Thun walked up to Hilden. "These guys have been lurking around outside, I don't know where they came from."

Hilden nodded: "Take them all back and use their corpses as fertilizer."

Thun waved his hand, and the heavily armored guards rushed over and tied up all the remaining men.

Hilden spurred his horse forward and coldly asked, "Who was just calling someone a traitor? Come out here."

There was no response from the scene. Hilden sneered, suddenly drew his embroidered spring knife, and slashed at the head of a wounded soldier.

His head flew high into the air, spraying blood all over the faces of those around him, causing them to scream in terror.

Xinuo roared angrily, "Traitors! If you have the guts, kill us all!"

Hilden scoffed, "A bunch of wild knights who abandoned their lord and fled have no right to bark here."

After Hilden finished cursing, a knight immediately ran over and slapped Xinuo hard across the face, making him dizzy. Combined with his injuries and exhaustion from the past few days, he fainted.

Hilden scoffed without hesitation, "Wild Knights are just weak and frail."

Compared to Fanta, Hilden looked down on Wild Knights, even to the point of loathing them.

Back in Wenger territory, it was a wild knight who instigated the lord to flee, leaving Hilden to cover their retreat.

Later, Hilden also investigated his former lord, Wenger, and heard that he was killed by several wild knights on his escape, and that his wife and children were sold into slavery by those same knights.

From then on, he developed a strong aversion to Wild Knights. He had always looked down on Leonardo da Vinci, but Leonardo da Vinci broke through to Earth Knights before him, which made him feel resentful.

Now that he has broken through, he naturally wants to vent his anger. He had originally planned to challenge Leonardo da Vinci to see what he was really capable of.

Unfortunately, the lord is worried about Harvest Town and wants him to return as soon as possible. It is estimated that someone will come to replace him next month.

Only then can we cause trouble for Leonardo da Vinci.

As for Killian, another leading figure among the Wild Knights, he is only in the later stages of his knighthood and is not yet qualified to be his opponent.

Hilden was like this, and the knights and knight apprentices who followed him naturally shared the same attitude.

Upon learning that these defeated soldiers were all wild knights, they showed no mercy and slapped them hard across the face until they dared not even lift their heads.

The remaining eighty-odd people immediately prostrated themselves on the ground and shouted, "Sir Knight, we are not knights, we are just refugees!"

Sure enough, upon hearing the words "refugees," these people were not beaten, but instead had their hands tied behind their backs and were led into the city.

As for Markle, he thought he would be safe hiding among the refugees, but then someone pointed at Markle and shouted, "Sir Knight, this is the same knight who just called you a traitor, and now he's hiding among us refugees."

Mark was furious and was about to kick the vagrant who had spoken when Thun kicked him away.

Thun cursed and took off his helmet, revealing a goblin-like face: "What a piece of trash, hiding behind civilians, you dare to call yourself a knight? You're not even as good as those beaten-up knight apprentices."

Upon seeing that they were goblins, the men who had been surrendering tried to resist again, but Thun said fiercely, "My name is Thun Ashwood, not a goblin. Anyone who says I'm a goblin, I'll snap their neck."
