Chapter 36 Entering Mafugat
"Your Majesty, it seems that the western part of the Mavgat region has not been affected by the war."

Walking slowly on the trail, Dennis, the commander of the Nordic Tomahawk Cavalry, said so.

"It's like this at the moment." Richard nodded, looking at the village not far away, where the smoke was still floating in the sky, thought for a while, pointed there, and said: "Let's go there and have a look, maybe the villagers know something."

Then, everyone speeded up their horses and ran towards the village. Before they got close to the village, they were discovered by some villagers who hadn't returned home. A group of men with farm implements assembled.

Richard quickly ordered everyone to stop, he stopped the horse, and while comforting the mount under his crotch, he shouted at the group of farmers: "I am Count Cuban of the Kingdom of Ravana, call out your village chief! "

"Earl Cuban?" Although the villagers had never heard of the earl's name, they knew the meaning of the Kingdom of Ravana very well, so they put down their weapons one after another, and made way for a middle-aged man in tattered leather armor. get out.

"My lord, I am Nick, the village chief of this village. What can I do for you?" Facing the strange noble boy in front of him, the village chief who called himself Nick seemed very cautious. other side.

"Village Chief Nick, I have entered into the Mafugat Territory first to investigate the strength of the Ramirez army under the order of His Majesty the King. Do you have any information about them?"

"Intelligence about the Ramirez people." Village Chief Nick looked like he suddenly realized it, but then he shook his head and said: "I'm sorry, Lord Earl, we have no information about the Ramirez people. In fact, in After Lord MacPherson conscripted some of the youths of our village, we heard no more about the war."

"Okay, besides this, my soldiers and I also want to buy food and some supplies in your village. Don't worry, I will pay in Morse coins."

"If you are willing to buy with Morse coins, I think some of the villagers will be willing to take out some food." After Nick finished speaking, he greeted the villagers behind him. After a while, they ran back with their baskets in their arms.

"These are all things we can trade with you."

Seeing what the villagers brought out, Richard's eyebrows twitched. Let's see what they took: cabbage, salted fish, bacon, wheat, flour, leather, etc.

Why do these look a bit like the most common items in a longevity game?
After thinking about it, Richard used the Morse coins he carried with him to buy enough food for himself and the cavalry, and then had a meal in this village, and then they set off on their way east again.

As the distance got farther and farther away, Richard went deeper into Mafugat's territory, and everything around him gradually changed from peaceful and quiet to tense and heavy under the shadow of war.

And they finally met their first enemy.

It was a small group of Ramirez infantry. Judging from the equipment, they should be sergeants recruited from a certain city. These spear sergeants in chain mail were leading a dozen desolate peasants. Soldiers robbed fleeing refugees.

Without the slightest hesitation, Richard directly ordered the cavalry to charge. On the plain terrain, the actions of the cavalry will undoubtedly have more bonuses.Richard's Nordic tomahawk cavalry took the lead. These knights in chain mail and holding tomahawks roared towards the Ramirez soldiers who were still robbing. , directly chopped off their frightened heads.

Seeing the tragic situation of several companions, the sergeant who was deliberately spared his life was suddenly frightened and paralyzed to the ground, unable to move. When Richard stepped in front of him, the latter barely recovered and looked at him in horror. The noble young man in front of him was afraid that killing words would come out of his mouth.

"I ask you, as long as you tell the truth, I will let you go." The boy said.

"Really, really?" The sergeant swallowed, his voice trembling.

"You have no right to question what I said, humble prisoner." Richard said coldly, and then asked directly without waiting for the other party's reply, "How many people are there in your army that invaded Ravana?"

"I, we have a total of four thousand to five thousand soldiers. I don't know the details, my lord. I'm just a lowly sergeant." The sergeant replied truthfully.

Richard also thought about it, the other party was just a small sergeant, how could he know the number of the entire army, and then asked: "Where is your main force now?"

"It is still besieging the city of Mattidot. The Earl MacPherson stationed there resisted so tenaciously that the mercenary group that has been in charge of the siege suffered heavy losses. I heard that those mercenary groups are putting pressure on His Majesty the King. , asking His Majesty to stop ordering them to die."

"It seems that Earl Mafugat's tactic of saving people and losing ground is quite effective. At present, it has slowed down the pace of the Ramirez people." Richard thought to himself, and turned his eyes to kneeling on the ground. The anxious sergeant said, "Last question, why didn't you stay in the camp and ran out to grab food and supplies instead?"

"This..." The sergeant's expression changed, and he hesitated instantly. Richard felt something was wrong when he saw it, and asked, "Is there a shortage of food in your army?"

"No... not at all. Sir, what I told you is the truth. Can you let me go?" The sergeant's eyes were evasive, but his lowered head was covered with sweat. Seeing him acting so abnormally, Richard felt something in his heart. Some speculation.He smiled slightly and said, "I still don't know your name and where you are from. Can you tell me about it?"

"I, I..." The sergeant was taken aback by Richard's question, and finally chose to answer honestly: "My name is Tommy Fergus, from Mumbai City."

"Very well, Tommy, you can go." Richard nodded and said.

"What, what? Can I go?" Tommy was overjoyed, almost thinking he heard it wrong.

"Yes, you can go." Richard looked normal, "Before I change my mind, you will disappear before my eyes."

"Thank you, thank you. I'll be leaving right away. I promise I won't tell anyone about what happened today." After Tommy finished speaking, he ignored the helmet and weapon that had been thrown on the ground, and almost scrambled backwards. However, in the next second, he only heard the sound of something flying through the air behind him, and then a spear hit his back directly, and then the whole spear passed through his body. He staggered forward a few steps before falling to the ground unwillingly.

"No, didn't you say let me go..." Tommy turned his head to look at the calm Richard with difficulty, and asked in a trembling voice.

"I promised to let you go, but my soldiers didn't promise." Richard said with a smile, looking at his somewhat bright smile, Tommy suddenly felt that this was the smile of the legendary devil.
