The Knight's Journey to the Empire

The place where Soran and his group ambushed was a small valley between two hills, which was only twenty meters long.

This is the only way for the eldest young master and his entourage to travel deep into the Barinas Mountains.

The sound of "Kill" suddenly sounded like thunder.

Ten people quickly rushed out from the pile of leaves around them, cooperating with each other tacitly. Some jumped up to pounce on the people on horseback, some cut the horses' legs with swords, and some suppressed the people who fell off the horses.

They work together with clear division of labor, cooperate well and are well-trained.

They immediately pulled down the stunned eldest master and his three younger brothers, and then fought with their swords, subduing them in an instant.

As for the two knights who were promoted, one was given to Soran, and the other was given to Wolfe, Martin, Henry and Ramos.

Wolfe and his four companions suddenly jumped out from the pile of fallen leaves. Martin and Henry directly chopped at the horse's legs of one of the knights, one chopped the front leg and the other chopped the back leg.

The horse didn't react in time, and both of its legs were chopped off.

The knight on the horse was thrown to the ground violently, and was dizzy. Before he could react, he was pinned down by four men.

On the other hand, Soran also chopped the horse's legs directly, but the knight had rich battlefield experience and reacted very quickly. He pulled the reins hard, and the horse's front legs immediately raised up, dodging the fatal move.

At the same time, he drew out the knight's sword beside him, and with the force of the falling front body of the warhorse, he struck a heavy blow on the knight's sword that was in a defensive position, knocking Sauron back seven or eight meters.

Soran felt the numbness in his hands and sighed in his heart: As expected, a knight should fight on horseback.

With a quick look around, the knight understood the situation around him and knew that it was impossible to save the situation by himself.

He no longer hesitated, and directly swung the reins and rode forward, preparing to rush forward first and then go back to inform Earl Alexander behind him and ask for support.

But obviously, he couldn't leave.

Regardless of the situation, Soran had people set up the blood-trapping vine to trip Maso.

Tie one end to the tree, hold the other end in your hand, and cover the mark in the middle with leaves.

One person was deployed in front and behind to prevent the enemy from retreating or rushing forward to report and ask for help after discovering the clues.

So when the blood-parasitic vine in front of him suddenly pulled up the horse rope and tripped the charging horse, the outcome of this encounter was actually clear.

Soran's side captured six of the other side without any casualties and also seized three horses.

Only three of the six horses were intact; the others had their legs cut off.

Don't stay here for long.

This was Soran's only thought after the battle.

After tying up the young masters, Soran and his men cleaned up the battlefield and then quickly retreated, deliberately covering their tracks along the way.

After all, there are such thick fallen leaves now that covering up one's tracks is just a piece of cake.

The entire battle did not take long, but the coordination between the two sides was very tacit.

Now, there was no trace left on the entire battlefield except the messy leaves and three injured horses wailing on the spot.

It was as if the enemy who attacked the eldest son came from the sky.

…………

In the temporarily cleared space, Earl Alex looked at the personal guard who was injured by the eldest son's arrow. His face was gloomy and he was extremely angry.

Earl Alec, a hereditary earl, is one of the great nobles of the Principality of Golia.

Normally, he can get whatever he wants in his hereditary territory. Considering his strong strength, all the nobles of the Principality of Glia would give him face.

Today, I was humiliated by a young boy of bastard origin. I was so angry.

Because the eldest son was born an illegitimate child, the noble circles in the Principality of Glia secretly called him a "bastard" with contempt.

If Earl Alex hadn't been afraid of his background, he would have wanted to kill him with a single blow of his sword.

It's just a pity for this personal guard who has followed me for more than ten years.

The arrow pierced his left leg. Not only will he not be able to fight on the battlefield anymore, he will probably have sequelae.

It’s a pity that I paid too much attention to and cultivated him before!

"Reporting to the Earl, the goshawk brought by the eldest son has flown back." A personal guard rushed in to report.

"This little bastard, just fly back..." Count Alec was halfway through his words when he suddenly remembered something and frowned deeply.

This little bastard hunting goshawk flew back all alone. The situation seemed, should, maybe, could be a little bad!

…………

In an unknown cave outside the Barinas Mountains, Soran was grilling skillfully.

This meat is dog meat.

Needless to say, Soran knew how powerful a trained hound was.

So from the very beginning, he had no intention of letting the young master's hunting dog go, and he took the body with him when he left, using it as dry food.

Now they have no other seasoning except salt.

But Soran didn't care, as long as the meat was cooked through.

As long as there is something to eat on the way to escape and fill my stomach and replenish my energy, there is no need to be so picky.

At the other end of the cave, Wolfe and several others were interrogating.

This young master was indeed extremely arrogant and domineering. After a brief period of adjustment in his brain circuits, even though he was in danger now, he was still shouting and clamoring to lead troops to kill Sauron and his group.

If it were an ordinary person, in this deep forest, Sauron would have given it to him.

But the eldest son of the Principality of Glia is not like that, he is a super big fish.

The rest of the lives of these twelve people depend on him.

Sauron couldn't bear to do that.

I simply found a piece of rag and stuffed it into his mouth so that he could stop listening and have peace of mind.

"Wolf, it's been so long, what have you found out?" Soran shouted.

Wolfe trotted over to report, "Captain, we found out that the three weaklings have confessed everything. The most arrogant one is the eldest son of the Principality of Golia; the two knights are the eldest son of Earl Alex and the second son of General Bill August. The remaining three weaklings are either the eldest sons of viscounts or barons. In short, they are all people of some status."

"They came into the Barinas Mountains to hunt, but unfortunately they encountered us and became the prey themselves." Wolf laughed.

Obviously, he was very happy to catch these big fish.

"Originally, this young master was protected by Earl Alex, but he felt that a large group of people might scare away the prey, so he left Earl Alex behind. So on the rest of the journey, we have to be careful of Earl Alex's pursuit."

"General Bill August's second son, does that mean the old general is also involved in this war?" Soran asked doubtfully, obviously finding it hard to believe.

Of course he knew the famous "God of War" of the Principality of Glia, old General Bill August.

Of course, he also had some respect in his heart.

"Yes, and according to them, under the command of the old general, the Principality of Glia has taken control of the entire Cartel Wealth Avenue, including Fort Antonio. Now it may have begun to invade the kingdom's territory." Wolfe's tone was very surprised when he said this.

Although we knew this might be the case when the enemy attacked the fortress from the rear, it is still very surprising to see it confirmed now.

Bill August, this is the nightmare of a generation of people engaged in the military field in the four countries in the northeast of the Knight Continent, an unattainable peak.

Soran was also very surprised, both at General Bill's superb tactics and at how quickly the situation on the battlefield changed.

After closing his eyes and thinking for a while, Soran shouted loudly: "Jim, come here quickly!"

Jim heard it and trotted over.

"Have you found the way back?" Soran asked in a deep voice.

He couldn't help but care about this, as the lives of more than a dozen people depended on his hands.

"Captain, we found it. We have reached the border of the Principality of Glia. Now, as long as we go north and see Cartel Wealth Avenue, I can follow it to find the trail. I have walked that trail several times, and I guarantee that I will not make a mistake. Don't worry, Captain!" Jim patted his chest and vowed.

"Well!" Soran twisted off a roasted dog leg and handed it to Jim: "Don't let me down!"

Jim took it and replied with a grin, "Yes!"

Then Soran stood up and shouted, "Brothers, you all know the identities of these nobles, right?"

"I know!" Responses came from all around.

"It's good that you know everything," Soran continued, "Listen to me, our future prosperity and wealth will all depend on them. So tie the ropes on them tightly for me. No one is allowed to loosen them without my order. Do you understand?"

"I know!" Responses rang out from all sides.

"From now on, if they want to eat, you feed them; if they want to pee, you dig them out; if they want to poop, you fuck them. In short, no matter what, you cannot untie them without my order, understand?"

"I know!" The voices echoed again from all around.

As a young person of the new era who has traveled through time, I find the escape plots in movies and TV shows extremely embarrassing and 100% stupid.

But Soran didn't want this kind of bloody and rubbish plot to happen to him.

He was really afraid that the cooked duck would fly away.

“Wolf, go and make the arrangements. Divide the twelve people into four groups to take turns on night watch. Make sure you combine the young and the old, and the strong and the weak.” Sauron gave the order again.

Finally, he issued a loud warning: "Pay attention to all of you! These people are related to the rest of our brothers' lives. If anyone dares to doze off while on duty, or lets them escape for any other reason, don't blame me for being rude."

"Yes, Captain. I'll arrange it right away." Wolfe's voice was still loud.

The twelve people are divided into four groups, with three people in each group. Every night, the three groups take turns on night shift, and one group takes a rest, and the cycle lasts for four days.

Soran himself has to take the lead.
