The Convoy's Arrival

Chapter 61: The Arrival of the Convoy

Two light cavalry warriors guarded the main gate of the camp. From far away, they could see the riders approaching quickly. Intrigued by what order the rider might receive, one of the guards approached to check it out. However, upon closer inspection, he noticed that the rider was not one of his comrades and quickly raised his spear to intercept him, only to break it by the silver-ranked rider's sword light. Were it not for the fact that the enemy was in a hurry to escape, two light cavalry guards might have already been killed.

Riders on the stolen mountain scattering past the two light cavalry soldiers who had been taken down and made it out of the camp. Condemning as they tried to prop themselves up from the ground, the two warriors then returned on their horses with one preparing his arrow and the other taking out his javelin, but they could do nothing but watch as the enemy ran out of their firing range. .

Lorist quickly arrived and picked up the javelin in the soldier's hand before continuing the chase. At that moment, he was about 40 meters away from the Silver-ranked rider and he was not sure that he would be able to reach his target from that distance. Seeing the distance between him and the enemy gradually increasing, he decided to try his luck by throwing a javelin.

Suddenly, his horse staggered and began to unsteadily waver as if it was about to fall. Deeply shocked, Lorist quickly took out both of his legs from the stirrup, jumping and tipping back in the air before landing and rolling on the ground, escaping the fate of falling to his death with his mount. Seeing his horse on the ground, Lorist threw his javelin furiously. Sol, why is my luck so bad .. The horse he took back then actually belonged to one of the two soldiers he had chased into the camp earlier. No wonder the horse slowed down right after exiting the camp early, after fatigue exceeded its limits.

Seeing the Silver ranked warrior escape from his grasp, Lorist started to get angry with fury. The silhouette of the man looked like a dot hundreds of meters away. The sound of galloping horses rang out from behind: they were light cavalrymen reacting to the sudden death of their two comrades. But they are too late.

At that moment, Lorist heard the twang of the bowstring being released and saw streams of green light coming out from the wilderness about a hundred meters from the camp. As if he had been struck by lightning, the fleeing Silver rank was knocked out of the horse and landed heavily onto the ground. His horse continued running for a while before stopping and returning to the camp.

Lorist stopped some of the scouts who had just arrived from entering the forest to look for the source of the arrows and pointed towards where the Silver rank warriors fell. "Go check the area and bring him back here. Be careful, that Sol-fucking might play dead for all we know. I already have one of my men dead in his hands. ”

Once again looking towards the place in the forest from where the green light rays came from, Lorist saw a man holding a large green bow with a few leaves and twigs covering himself to serve as camouflage and felt that the man was paying attention to his every move .

Waving towards the man, Lorist made an invitation gesture. However, the man gave no response and slowly retreated into the trees, eventually disappearing completely from sight.

Exhaling a sigh of relief, Lorist thought, Impressive archer .. For him to be able to shoot someone from a distance of 80 meters and also managed to knock him off his horse for about 6 meters. The speed of the arrow was also extremely fast considering Lorist could barely see his tracks through dynamic vision.

While Lorist himself was not worried about the mysterious archers attacking his base, he was still worried about the welfare of his light cavalry troops. The man was probably Josk, the Gold-ranked knight that Soria had mentioned a few days earlier. After all, Lorist found it hard to believe that just anyone could have such good archery skills as the man did. It was a shame that one's identity could not be verified because he did not accept Lorist's invitation.

The cavalry troops had secured the body of the Silver rank and were on their way back to the camp. As they approached, Lorist really did not know whether to laugh or cry. The cavalry troops were too cautious and each of them made sure to shoot the corpses with their bows twice to make sure the Silver rank did not play dead, effectively turning it into a large human skin pad.

The cause of the death of the Silver rank was quite obvious: there was a long green arrow that entered the upper right body of the man and reappeared from his left armpit. Pulling an arrow and tearing apart a piece of corpse clothing, Lorist wiped the blood from the arrow and saw an obscure little inscription that read 'Joe'. As expected, the man carrying the green bow was actually Josk, the Gold-ranked knight.

Once again looking at the arrow embedded within the corpse, Lorist sighed and said, “Gosh, don't you guys have eyes? He was long dead, yet you threw so many arrow bolts at him and even destroyed his fleet. Oh well, just cut off his head and show it at the entrance of the main camp. After stripping the body of anything that could still be used, throw it into a pile of wood and burn it with the other corpses. ”

After returning to the large tent in the middle of the camp, Yuriy came and reported that he had swept the camp once again with his troops and found three enemies hiding, who were in hiding, two of them were captured alive with the others killed. There were no casualties other than the two soldiers who sustained minor injuries. Including one who was killed and the other who was seriously injured from being ambushed by the silver-ranked riders as well as those who were injured from the initial attack, the entire light cavalry force only had 3 casualties, he said, 7 Were seriously injured with 10 others with total minor injuries.

However, Yuriy mentioned that they also found quite a number of women who experienced total harassment during their search totaling about 30 of them. There were two completely naked women whose necks were taken from the Silver rank tent out from before.

Nodding silently, Lorist pointed towards the large tent behind him and said, "There are two others inside. Ask the prisoners locked up in the middle of the camp about the origins of women and have someone assigned to care for them. When Charade and the other convoys arrive, we will have some shamans inspect it and rescue those who can still survive and end the suffering of those who can no longer be saved.

“In addition, cut off the heads of enemy horsemen and install them on the stake for display throughout the camp outside. Remove them from their equipment and burn their bodies after that. Be sure to record the number of people we have killed. Bringing the prisoners we captured alive here, I want to question them personally. ”

Lorist's interrogation method was quite straightforward. First, he stripped them naked and asked Reidy to bring a hammer. Those who refuse to answer each time will have one of their toes hammered. After the first stubborn one was set as an example, the remaining five were so frightened that they answered any questions they asked with quick cooperation.

As Lorist expected, the people who attacked the convoy were indeed part of Count Cobry's army, precisely his elite spear cavalry force. This time, the count had mobilized two spear cavalry companies and one garrison regiment, which numbered nearly a third of his entire army, with the aim of completely annihilating the rebels based within its territory and enslaving the young and powerful to work as hard workers. The ones who led this venture were his 11 illegitimate sons, three of whom were of the rank of Gold and the rest of the rank of Silver. However, three sons had been killed under Lorist's hands.

According to the prisoners, the brown-haired man and the middle-aged man with the chain letter as well as the Silver rank who stole a horse and attempted to escape were all sons of the count.

As for the camp, the prisoners said that it was a long-term campground that served as a bridge [1] and was usually guarded by a company of garrison troops. It was used as a place for major powers to supply their rations and provisions. Since the main army had to cross the mountain during the latest expedition, they had their garrison troops that should have been stationed there following and only left the company of the spear cavalry to guard the camp.

In Grindia, there is a certain way in which the military is organized. At the top of the hierarchy were legions, which consisted of divisions of several types of troops, such as heavy armored divisions, infantry pike divisions, etc. And each division in turn can be further divided into regiments, companies and squads, by reducing the order of size. Generally, one army numbered about 80 to 120 soldiers.4 to 5 squads formed a company, and 4 to 5 squads formed a regiment, and, with a division containing at least 4 to 5 regiments in total. For example, in the White List Legion, one of the three main armies of the former empire that Potterfang used to serve, the total number of soldiers numbered up to 80000.

Count Cobry's forces were mainly supported by pike cavalry troops, which had received considerable support and funding. In total, there were five companies of spear cavalry troops, each consisting of four squads consisting of 120 soldiers. For the two companies to be sent for the expedition was already a considerable force.

The prisoners also mentioned that the main forces that had eliminated the rebels would return in a day or two because they only brought supplies for 15 days and it was already the 13th day. The brown-haired commander even sent a squad of spear cavalry to receive him when they returned with two other squads who had gone hunting because there was nothing better to do. 'The 'hunting' that the prisoners were referring to was a patrol of the surrounding area to arrest the refugees to force them into labor.The 400 odd people locked up in the middle of the camp were the result of such 'hunting.

However, the spear cavalry would never have expected that Lorist's military convoy might be much higher than their own, leading to their total destruction as well as the people who remained guarding in the camp, the camp was captured by a convoy.

It was only then that the prisoners understood the reason that prompted Lorist to slaughter his way along with his other troops and start cursing their comrades who were dying endlessly. However, one of the prisoners in their thirties remained silent and looked at the Norton Family flag with a meaningful gaze.

Seeing the prisoner's strange behavior, Lorist asked, "Have you seen this flag before?"

The prisoner shook his head and said, "No, no, but one time when I was called by the count to his room, I saw two boxes that had the same symbol written on them. Also……"

The prisoner suddenly calmed down.

Lorist asked, “Also what? Feel free to tell me about it, I promise to save your life if you do. As for the others …… "

Lorist gestured to his subordinates, gesturing for them to give the prisoner a swift death.

The prisoner who was kneeling before Lorist was scared out of his wits after hearing the pleas of his comrades suffering. He quickly mentioned that he had only joined the spear cavalry force recently and was once a mercenary and had only joined by chance because one of his acquaintances was a member of the troop force inviting him.

According to the prisoner, when he drank with his acquaintances and some other spear cavalry soldiers, he heard about the promotion to wealth and power. Back in the day before the First Prince publicly rebelled against the empire, the count was already partnering in crime with the First Prince in some shady business. Reportedly, for days Count Cobry was said to be confined to his territory and to care for his illegitimate sons, he actually had several grown boys disguised as bandits to loot a traveling merchant convoy to raise funds and resources in preparation for the First Prince's rebellion as well as amassing a lot of wealth to himself in the process. When the former emperor was on his sickbed, the First Prince had asked the garrison troops of Bodolger Province to be reinforced to keep a bandit named Redbeard at bay; redbeard was actually an identity that was taken into account as he looted the merchant convoy. Every time before he started the raid, he would wear a large, red, fake beard to disguise himself. The hunting group Lorist encountered today was actually part of Count Cobry's army to loot the merchant convoy as Redbeard. They might remember the days when they disguised themselves as bandits and decided to revive and attack the convoy without giving much consideration.

Lorist also asked the inmate to explain the size and design of the boxes he saw in the counting room before sketching out of them and showing them to the inmate for confirmation, which he nodded with certainty.

After which, Lorist ordered that the prisoner be locked up and started pacing outside the large tent, roiling with rage. He unsheathed his sword and completely destroyed the bed that was inside the tent.

Shocked at Lorist's sudden outburst, Yuriy waited for him to calm down before asking about the reason why he was so angry.

Lorist thought for a moment before saying, “The two boxes were ordered and made by my Third Uncle from Morante City. Initially, he intended to use it to store the dowry he had prepared for the woman he wanted to marry and bring her back to power. Who would have thought that the trip would be the last! I could never forget my uncle's appearance when he took me to pick up the boxes. I can tell that she really loved the woman from her face when she saw them. That's why I'm so used to box design. Count Cobry, you really have done it this time. Just wait .... ”

Lorist's voice sounded so venomous that Yuriy and Reidy shivered slightly after hearing it.

Although Lorist only met his Third Uncle once every three years after he found himself in the noble young man's body, the care and concern his uncle showed made him feel valued and warm. It saddens him that the first news he got from his uncle after 7 years of silence was his death. Now that he was already convinced of the main culprit, there was no way he would let that fellow set him free. He decided to travel to the back of his head and focus his priorities on settling the grudge with Count Cobry.

At that moment, a light cavalry warrior came to report that Charade and the others would arrive as soon as the Norton Family's battle standards were seen from the camp from afar.

Yuriy and Reidy heaved a sigh of relief and carried Lorist out of the large tent towards the main entrance of the campground.

Charade came to Lorist with another piece of bad news the moment he arrived. He said that the pawn infantry company from the front row of the convoy had faced another attack from the pike cavalry squad after Yuriy and Reidy left with Lorist and the light cavalry scouts stormed the camp. It was fortunate that the senior students realized that they would not be an opponent for the enemy if they faced them head-on and made the convoy into a defensive formation by arranging the carriage into a circular defense perimeter to buy time until the knights of Terman come to strengthen them. Coupled with an arrow company under Malek's command, the convoy managed to fend off the enemy with only 30 of them managing to escape. However, the pike infantry company had lost 22 people with another hundred injured.

Sounds of chatter and curses erupted from within the camp. Lorist handed over other matters to Charade to deal with and ordered Reidy and Patt to boil them so that he could bathe and wash away the coagulated blood on his body which caused him to itch and be uncomfortable.

After dinner, the large main tent was brightly lit with the entire main players of the convoy present inside.

"…… 47 members of the soldier's family were killed with 130 others wounded, all 21 of the pikemen responsible for the convoy's security were also killed and Chivos ……" Charade's voice turned sharp at the mention of that name. Chivos was one of the senior students in the academy who had been sent to communicate with the enemy spear cavalry troops, but was only trampled to death after an ambush.

“Including the second attack we suffered, a total of 43 infantrymen were killed along with 58 others sustained heavy injuries, 7 of them disabled and unable to fully recover with the remaining 86 sustaining minor injuries. Yuriy reported that the light cavalry forces suffered 3 casualties, with 7 others heavily injured and 13 others lightly wounded with none of them paralyzed. The Terman Knights on the other hand only had 6 people who got minor injuries without any casualties in their unit. It concluded a report on the damage and losses of troops. ”

Lorist followed up by introducing the rest to the meeting about the situation of the prisoners as well as the possibility that Count Corby might have been the one who had caused the death of Third Uncle Lorist and the rest of the Norton Family merchant convoy.

“I'm sure you're all aware that the original plan to cross this area without getting into a major conflict would no longer be possible. Based on the modus operandi of the count and his troops, it could be seen that they were simply inhuman demons who were indisputable and had nothing but thoughts of slaughter on their heads, as can be seen from the death of our beloved friend. For the sake of him, and those of the innocent family members and the brave soldiers of the families who perished, I have decided to avenge them! We will not rest until we step on the Cobry Family flag under our feet! "Said Lorist firmly.

The entire tent became quiet after Lorist stopped talking, but the quiet chatter and murmurs slowly woke up. Some of them approved of Lorist's decision while others were still a little hesitant. According to the prisoners' testimony, Count Cobry's forces could probably far exceed the convoy's. Was this really a battle that a convoy could afford?

Just when a group of people inside the tent were discussing this matter, a light cavalry warrior rushed in from outside and reported to Lorist that a knight named Josk wanted to meet him and said that he had come at the invitation of the new master of the camp. .

Lorist slapped his thigh and said, “Quick, invite him! No, let me out to receive it … "
