Where are the other two?
Call them all over, I want to hear about their experiences along the way, and I have no idea how they got to Orland.”
Trosa waved his hand in good humor, preparing to have his attendants summon those brave out-of-town youths to inquire about their story.
Although he didn’t manage to personally slay the fleeing enemy, if he could find a few young men worth cultivating, it would be considered an unexpected gain.
The attendant responsible for summoning had just turned around to leave when he saw a knight, who had been on guard outside the village, hurriedly run into the hall.
“General, a Scout Rider on patrol reports that a troop is approaching this place; he saw the Thorny Flower banner, it should be an army of the Farolis Family,” reported the knight, removing his helmet and bowing with a hand on his chest.
Baron Eriv’s response is swift indeed,” said Trosa, somewhat surprised.
The Old Earl of course knew that Baron Eriv was the Lord of this region, as he was one of the commanders under his own command in this southern campaign.
Thus, he was not surprised by who had come, but rather that Baron Eriv’s response was so quick.
It was because the Farolis Family’s army, as one of the vanguards in the attack on Kantadar, had suffered no small losses in the great battle of Mamor County and had returned early to their territory for repairs, they should not have known about the remnant enemy that accidentally escaped into Kosos County yesterday.
Trosa had been chasing the remains of the Dawson’s forces all the way from the battlefield.
If it weren’t for the accidental encounter with that girl named Lena last night, the Old Earl’s original destination would have been Baron Eriv’s castle.
After all, it was more convenient to have the local Lord as a guide in searching for Dawson’s whereabouts.
It was just unexpected that, just a day after the disaster in this village, Baron Eriv had already learned the news and sent troops here.
“Gentlemen, come with me to greet Baron Eriv shortly, although the chaos here is not our doing, his village under his jurisdiction has been thrown into disarray by the enemy we pursued, and I feel somewhat guilty,” proposed Trosa.
“The General’s banner?
Aren’t these Kantadar people?”
Riding his warhorse over the hill, Baron Eriv, clad in black armor, lifted his visor, gazing perplexedly at the deer head green banner outside Selva Village.
And the Kingdom Soldiers, patrolling the vicinity of the village, wearing the battle robes of various knightly families.
The Farolis Family knights, who had already been armed and ready to fight the invading Kantadar Cavalry, were now completely bewildered.
Soon, a knight clad in a deer head emblem battle robe, emerged swiftly from the village and galloped up to the advancing army of Baron Eriv.
“Lord Farolis,” the arrival removed his helmet, nodded with a smile, and said, “It’s been several days since we parted on the battlefield, how have you been?”
“Thank you for your concern, Lord Adrian, is the General also here?” Baron Eriv spurred his horse forward, greeting the noble Knight whom he had fought alongside not long ago.
“The General is waiting for you in the village; we’ve only just arrived here,” replied Adrian with a nod.
forgive my confusion, but I don’t understand, why have you come?
Just yesterday I heard from my subjects that three foreign spies led a band of Kantadar Cavalry to invade.”
Baron Eriv rode alongside the other, asking with perplexity, “Have you already eliminated those enemies for me?”
Adrian raised his eyebrows and looked at Baron Thorny Flower: “The surviving villagers didn’t mention any spies.
Rather, there were three young adventurers and a Griffin…
The Kantadar people were all killed by them before we arrived, haha, that old fellow Dawson got stabbed right through, we’ve just packed up his body.”
