Bloodline Lord of War - Chapter 157

  Chapter 157 A Melee

   Earl Longji’s name is Gude. He was originally a nobleman in the southern part of the empire. After losing the power struggle within the family, he was forced to give up his land and his original surname.

   Later, he came to the wasteland and became a pioneer lord. Unexpectedly, he did well in the wasteland, which was a blessing in disguise.

  Gude walked into the reception room, looking very high-spirited. This time the blood race incident pushed him to the center of the wilderness stage. He has never felt so proud and happy like now.

   “Hahaha, Baron Robin, you are very welcome.” Goode opened his arms and made a welcoming gesture with a warm smile on his face.

  Although Earl Goode has a close relationship with the Golden Rose family, the other party doesn’t seem to have any grudges against Robin because of this.

  In fact, the relationship between Earl Longji and the Golden Rose family is actually very delicate. Earl Longji obeys the Golden Rose on the surface, but in private he has always wanted to cultivate his own power in the wasteland, and then get rid of the control of the Golden Rose family.

  Robin stood up politely, bowed slightly to Goode and saluted: “Hello, Honorable Earl.”

   “Please sit down, please sit down.”

  Earl Gude sat down on the sofa opposite Robin, and said with a happy face: “The journey was exhausting and exhausting. Thank you very much for your great help. The people in the wasteland will never forget your heroic efforts.”

  He first said a few words on the scene, and then asked what he was most concerned about.

   “Baron Robin, I wonder how many people you brought with you this time?”

  Robin immediately replied: “One hundred people.”

   “A hundred people?” The smile on Earl Goode’s face stopped abruptly. “Baron Robin, are there too few people here?”

   “My lord, although I don’t have many soldiers, each of them can count as ten.”

   Robin spoke confidently, but Earl Good didn’t believe it at all. He thought Robin was bragging.

  Seeing that Robin had only brought such a small amount of soldiers and horses, Earl Goode’s attitude towards Robin immediately cooled down. The warm smile on his face disappeared, and his eyes were full of disappointment.

   “Well, no matter how many soldiers there are, they are a force.” Earl Good patted his thigh a little irritably, showing a little impatient.

   “I will ask my butler to arrange a guest room for you. You will stay with me first. There are still a few barons who have not arrived. When everyone is here, we will start discussing the dispatch of troops.”

  Robin: “Thank you, Lord Earl, for your kindness, but I hope to live in the barracks with my soldiers.”

  Earl Goode was a little surprised. He couldn’t live in the comfortable earl’s mansion, but he had to live in the barracks with poor conditions. Earl Goode felt that Robin was really a weirdo. However, his mind was no longer on Robin, so he agreed casually: “Okay, that’s fine.”

   After meeting Earl Goode, Robin left the Earl’s Mansion. Under the leadership of Kleber, he came to the west of Longji Castle.

  In a wide open space, the Earl of Longji had set up a temporary camp, and the white military tents were like mushrooms, closely connected to each other. Before Robin, many aristocratic armies had moved here first, and all kinds of clan flags were flying in the camp.

Walking into the simple gate of the camp, you can see that there are soldiers wearing various armors everywhere. From the armor on these soldiers, you can judge the strength of the corresponding lord. Some soldiers wear a brand new full set of armor, while some soldiers Only the half-body shabby leather armor.

  A group of 20-man cavalry quickly ran past Robin, and their galloping horseshoes stepped on the dirt road, kicking up a cloud of yellow dust. Robin raised his hand and waved the dust in front of his face, turned to Kleiber next to him and asked, “How many teams are there? How many people in total?”

  Kleiber was also riding on horseback. He thought for a while, and then replied: “Before you, there were already seven nobles’ troops who moved in, and the number of them was about 5,000.”

  Robin nodded. An army of 5,000 people is not a small force in the wasteland.

   “My lord, your camp is ahead.” Kleber said.

  The two of them walked straight to the depths of the camp along the main road in the barracks. After walking for a while, Robin suddenly heard a chaotic shout coming from the front.

  Continuing to walk forward, bypassing a military tent, Robin saw a human wall standing at the end of the road. There were probably hundreds of people, all with their backs to Robin’s side, blocking the road to death.

  The soldiers who formed the human wall were obviously watching the excitement, and they didn’t let out bursts of applause.

   “What’s going on in front?” Kleiber frowned slightly and asked in doubt.

  Robin suddenly had a bad feeling, he squeezed the horse’s stomach with his legs, and trotted over at a faster speed.

  Because he was riding on horseback, Robin could see farther and higher. Even if he stood behind the human wall, he could still see what was happening inside the human wall.

   Inside the human wall, a large melee was going on in a large open area. Hundreds of people were fighting together. The fight was dark and dusty, and the scene was quite spectacular.

  Robin could tell at a glance that one of the two sides in the war belonged to his people, and the highlanders and half-elves were particularly conspicuous in the crowd.

  The Raging Waves Legion is at a disadvantage, with only one hundred people, while Robin roughly counts the number of people on the opposite side, which is nearly 500 people, five times that of the Raging Waves Legion.

  However, the situation on the field is that Nu Tao’s side is pressing the opponent to fight. Both sides of the battle field are a tent area, and the Nu Tao army has almost pressed the opponent into the opposite camp area.

  Robin heard people talking in the crowd, and was surprised by the bravery of the Iron Guard and the half-elf.

   “This group of highlanders and pointed ears are really fierce. The soldiers of the giant wooden castle are about to be defeated.”

   “I don’t know which lord’s army this is.”

  The scuffle of hundreds of people seemed quite intimidating, but in fact, the two sides fought with restraint. They didn’t use weapons, they just used fists to swing each other.

  Both sides in the war also knew in their hearts that a gang fight is not too serious. If people are killed, the matter will become serious.

  The official who led the Raging Waves Legion to set up camp was standing on the periphery of the battlefield, and he shouted feebly: “Don’t fight, everyone, stop fighting!”

   But as soon as his voice came out, it was immediately drowned out by the shouts and beatings on the field.

  Kleiber came to the edge of the human wall one step behind Robin. He was riding on the horse, and seeing the scene inside the human wall, he was panicked and at a loss: “What’s going on? Why are there still fights?”

  He quickly dismounted, squeezed through the crowd, ran to his colleagues, and asked anxiously, “What’s going on here?”

   “I won’t be able to tell for a while, so separate them first and then talk about other things.”

  The two shouted a few words in a hurry, but basically it had no effect. The soldiers were full of enthusiasm, and no one listened to them, these two weak officials.

   Kleber had no choice but to squeeze out of the crowd again, squeezing his glasses crooked in a hurry. He came to Robin’s horse, straightened his glasses, and anxiously asked: “Master Baron, please help them to stop.”

  My side has an absolute advantage, so Robin is not in a hurry, but he can’t let them continue fighting like this.

  Robin saw a flagpole standing next to the battlefield, about ten meters long, with the flag of the giant wooden castle flying on it, and a big white tree was painted on the blue flag.

  He turned over and jumped off the horse, pushed aside the crowd of onlookers, walked to the flagpole, and slammed his fist on the flagpole. The flagpole, which was thicker than the mouth of the bowl, was broken by Robin’s fist, and with a “creaking” moan, it fell towards the crowd of scuffles.

  In the arena, the two sides were fighting fiercely, and suddenly saw a flagpole smashed from above their heads, and the two fighting sides hurriedly avoided.

   “Boom!”

  The flagpole hit the ground heavily, and the unlucky guy who had a giant wooden castle ran too slowly. He was hit by the flagpole and crushed under the flagpole.

   It was as if someone had pressed the pause button, and the two sides in the battle fell silent at the same time. Robin came out, looked at the field with an unfriendly expression, and shouted: “Everyone who is angry, get out!”

   Kleiber and his colleagues also rushed to the arena to persuade everyone not to fight anymore.

  Received the Lord Lord’s order, the iron guard and the half-elf immediately broke away from the battle and retreated to Robin’s side.

  Before he withdrew, Simon grabbed the other officer’s neck by the collar, and took the opportunity to slap him hard, slapping his eyes with staring stars.

  Officer Jumu was furious when he came back to his senses, but when he wanted to take revenge again, Simon had already sneaked behind Robin, looking at him with a mean expression on his face, and almost made Officer Jumu angry on the spot.

   At this time, from the other side of the camp, Baron Joseph also hurried over with a five-man cavalry team.

  He was originally a guest in another nobleman’s military tent, and he hurried over when he heard that his subordinates reported that his men were fighting with other troops.

   Joseph arrived on horseback, Robin saw him, and he saw Robin at the same time.

  Soldiers from both sides retreated to both sides of the road one after another. In the open space in the middle, there were still dozens of people lying on the ground, crying in pain.

  Joseph looked at the field, and found that all the soldiers lying on the ground were soldiers from the giant wooden castle, but there were no soldiers from Raging Waves City. Joseph was immediately furious. It was okay to fight, but he couldn’t lose face so embarrassingly.

  The officer on Jumu’s side saw the baron coming, he hurried over and reported to Joseph with a bruised nose and swollen face: “See the baron.”

  Joseph’s face was gloomy and scary: “Say, what’s going on?”

  Officer Jumu had a troubled expression on his face, and he hesitated and couldn’t speak.

  At the same time, on this side of Raging Waves City, Robin was also asking the same question: “Simon, tell me, what’s going on?”

  Although the two sides had a scuffle, Simon was not seriously injured. He didn’t seem to have fought enough, and he was steaming with heat. He said, “They started the trouble first, and they wanted to occupy our camp.”

   Kleiber’s colleagues also squeezed in at this time, confirming Simon’s statement: “This is indeed the case.”

   he added. “We had already started to set up camp, and all the supplies were unloaded from the carriage. The soldiers of the Giant Wood Fort suddenly ran over. They thought that this camp was closer to the water source, and wanted to exchange it with us. Sir Simon was unwilling, so the two sides quarreled We got up and started fighting, and at the beginning it was just a few people fighting, but the fighting became bigger and bigger, and finally it became like this.”

   Waiting for Kleber’s colleague to finish speaking, Simon nodded naively: “That’s what he said.”

  Robin nodded, indicating that he understood. He glanced at the iron guards and half-elves on his side. The iron guards were full of energy, and they didn’t seem to have enjoyed fighting. After all, the half-elfs were weaker in hand-to-hand combat. Some half-elves had a little color on their faces, but It was just a skin trauma, nothing serious, and it recovered after a few days of rest.

   “Everyone didn’t suffer, right?” Robin asked with concern.

  Simon smiled honestly: “Don’t worry, leader, when did your soldiers suffer?”

  The other iron guards and half-elves also laughed, and it seemed that everyone had a good time.

   “Well, it’s good that I didn’t suffer a loss.” Robin was quite satisfied, no matter what caused the fight, anyway, he couldn’t suffer a loss here.

   At this time, Joseph was on the opposite side, and after listening to the report of the giant wooden officer, he suddenly became furious, pointed his horsewhip at the officer’s nose, and cursed:

   “A group of useless idiots! Not only did you choose the co-authorship, but you also lost the fight? Ramon, Ramon, you are really good at it. Five hundred people beat one hundred people, and you actually lost the fight!”

  The officer named Ramon lowered his head, and quickly found an excuse for himself: “The group of highlanders are simply inhumane, and the group of pointy ears are all good players. Half of my side are recruits…”

   “Shut up!” Joseph shouted angrily. “You still want to make excuses for fighting like this, and I will deal with you when I go back! Now, quickly take away the wounded soldiers on the field, isn’t it embarrassing enough?”

   “Yes, my lord.”

   Temporarily escaping Baron Joseph’s scolding, Ramon hurriedly turned around and arranged for his soldiers who were still able to move to carry away the wounded lying on the field.

   “Hurry up, enter the field and carry the wounded back!”

  Under the command of Ramon, hundreds of giant wooden soldiers ran back to the field and carried away the wounded on their side one after another.

   Then, Joseph rode to the center of the field where the two sides were fighting, and Robin also came out and stood opposite Joseph.

   This fight had to be settled by the lords of both sides.

   “Robin, it’s you again. It’s really a narrow road. Your soldiers beat my soldiers, what do you think? Are you going to lose money or people?”

  Joseph asked aggressively. To him, the right and wrong of the matter didn’t matter at all. The important thing was that his own person was beaten, so he had to seek an explanation.

  Although Robin didn’t ride a horse, he was much shorter than Joseph on the ground, but his momentum was not weaker than Joseph at all.

  He sneered and said, “It’s your people who provoked the trouble first, and my people are just self-defense. Joseph, you should pay me for it.”

Joseph became even more annoyed immediately, and pointed the horsewhip in his hand at the wounded who had been carried away by the giant wooden soldiers: “Robin, look at how you beat my men, you beat them so badly, you are so embarrassed Ask me for money?”

  Robin laughed sarcastically: “That’s your Bingtai dish.”

   “Robin!” Joseph became furious immediately, and pulled out the long sword on his waist with a swipe. “Do you still want to continue fighting?”

  Robin put away the sneering smile on his face: “Accompany me at any time!”

Seeing that the lords on both sides were about to fight while talking, Kleiber on the side hurriedly inserted between the two of them. He held up his glasses and persuaded with an apologetic smile: “My lords, my lords, please be quiet. impatient.”

  Robin and Joseph are both nobles. Although Kleiber is an official of Dragon’s Back Castle, he is a commoner. He dare not easily intervene in the battle between the two nobles, so he hurriedly said:

   “This is the territory of the Earl of Longji. If there is a dispute between the two, the Earl will judge it. What do you think?”

  Joseph thought for a while, put the sword back into the scabbard, and asked Robin: “Do you dare to go with me to the Earl for a review?”

  Robin replied indifferently: “What is there not to dare?”
