Chapter 358 Panda Eyes

Hundreds of thousands of mountains, winding mountain roads.

"Be careful, sir."

"Be careful, be careful... You idiot, don't you know what to say? This damn broken road, damn negotiations, damn Gray Army, damn new nobles, damn, damn... in short, everything is damned. !”

The cavalryman thought about it for a while and said hesitantly: "Uh, please be careful, sir."

"You...ah!" Before his anger could be expressed, it was suddenly covered up by a scream.

"Scare! Sir, sir...someone help me quickly, I fell into the ditch..."

…

The Shiwanda Mountains can be described as barren and poor, and the roads are naturally unlikely to be any better. In fact, not long after entering, the merged negotiating team had no choice but to abandon the carriage and instead travel on horseback.

Even so, there are still some places that are difficult to walk on. The nobles were accustomed to living in a comfortable position, so naturally they couldn't stand the bumps and the hardship of living in the open air. That's it for Ronald and others. After all, they have a mission to carry out and can still resist with gritted teeth. But Simpson and other traditional aristocrats committed a serious crime. They came here unwillingly, and now they are being tortured. Of course, they are like eating exploding crystals and they can't help cursing.

"Why aren't you leaving?" Tang En and Joshua came up from behind and asked Phillip in surprise as he walked back.

After spreading his hands, Phillip said helplessly: "Someone fell into the ditch and we are trying to fish it out."

Joshua was stunned for a moment: "Uh, is everything okay?"

"It's okay, the ditch is not deep, and there is still water. It's just a bit embarrassing at best." Philip waved his hand carelessly, then looked at the listless noble on the side, turned around and asked, "How far is it? Well, I’m afraid these old guys won’t be able to support it.”

Tang En replied: "If the previous intelligence map is accurate, well, we can reach it by climbing over the mountain in front of us."

"You still want to climb over the mountain?" A slightly sad and angry old voice came from the side. Simpson walked over tremblingly, leaning on a wooden stick. His originally gorgeous robe now looked more like a patchwork tramp. Clothing, "Are you kidding me? We have climbed countless mountains. I swear I have never walked this far in my entire life. We still have to climb mountains... No, I strongly urge to rest now."

"Sorry, Sir, we just had a break half an hour ago, so we have to go on in one go." Josiah's tone was calm, but his attitude was firm, "And although I don't know how far you have traveled in your life, But even including the one in front of us, we have only climbed ten mountains."

"Oh, my God, it's already the tenth mountain!" Simpson's figure swayed like a candle in the wind, and his tone became even more desolate, "I can't do it anymore, I can't do it anymore, I'll kill someone if I leave! What are you doing? Murder, naked murder..."

Joshua frowned and wanted to say something else. Unexpectedly, at this moment, a chaotic sound mixed with the sound of weapons clashing suddenly came from the front.

"What's going on...is it a bandit?" Simpson, who was still shaking just now, suddenly jumped up behind Philip like a rabbit with an arrow, and asked in a trembling voice.

There is naturally a reason for such a violent reaction. Among the 100,000 Mountains, apart from having many mountains, the rest have the most number of bandits and robbers. Although due to the stalemate between the Gray Army and Bran's soldiers, the rear area was also cleaned up by Bran's army. But it is certain that there are still bandits who continue to take risks. What's more, when they first entered the mountains, the nobles had not abandoned their luxurious carriages. Such eye-catching outfits would certainly attract the attention of the bandits.

And although there were two to three hundred accompanying cavalry, in the eyes of the bandits, they were not too many, just the standard of a caravan. With such a scale, some small bandit groups dare not touch it, but it is the favorite of medium and large bandit groups. Furthermore, in such a complex terrain, the number of people is not actually the most important thing.

Tang En and Joshua knew this situation very well, but when they came back this time, they only had a few high-level officials accompanying them, so they had no choice but to report the situation to the nobles through Philip's mouth. It should be said that the nobles still cherished their own lives. After hearing this, they also explained it to the cavalry very seriously.

But as the saying goes, the cavalrymen who act as scouts are branches of the Royal Guards. They have never left the capital, let alone the north, so they have no understanding of the bandits' dirty tricks. Finally, when the team passed through a canyon that had been inspected, they were ambushed by thieves. Fortunately, Tang En had been alert beforehand, discovered something was wrong in advance, and warned loudly that the team did not completely fall into the trap. After being hit by several rounds of arrows, he retreated in time.

In addition to the loss of a dozen cavalrymen, no nobles were injured in this battle. But there is no doubt that seeing the cavalry and carriages being tied into porcupine shapes still left a profound negative impact on Simpson and the others...

"The possibility of bandits is unlikely." Tang En met the looks cast by Joshua and others and shook his head.

This is a terrain similar to a cliff, but this 'cliff' is indeed a bit shorter, only less than three meters, so it should be regarded as a ditch. The place where the chaos occurred was on the opposite side of the ditch, where the cavalry went first to explore the road. Although the terrain here is difficult, it is not dangerous, and there is no cover. Even thieves should look down on this place.

Everyone's doubts did not last long. Soon a cavalryman ran over and reported that they had bumped into a group of Bran patrols.

"Soldier Bran?" Simpson reacted quickly this time, with a look of ecstasy on his face. He threw away the stick and rushed forward quickly, "We're here, we're here, we're finally here! Haha..."

Looking at Simpson who was dancing and running fast, Twain and the other three couldn't help but curled their lips. Is this the legendary inability to walk? What about Meng Gui... But despite the complaints in their hearts, several people still showed relief on their faces.

If Bran's regular soldiers appear here, they can only be sent out by Bran's army to patrol during the stalemate. After all, in addition to preparing for battle, they also have the task of preventing the gray-clad army from escaping.

"By the way, this brother." Looking at the still chaotic scene opposite, Tang En asked casually, "Why are you guys arguing?"

The cavalryman spread his hands helplessly after hearing this: "They said that the front is a restricted area of ​​​​the battlefield. They are not allowed to get closer and let us return the way we came."

"Uh, you didn't reveal your identity?" This negotiation was temporary and could not be exposed. Naturally, it was impossible to notify the army in time. But as long as Ronald and others see the general and reveal their identities, all problems will naturally be solved.

The cavalryman looked even more depressed and pointed at his chest: "I told you that the titles of all the knights were brought out, but they didn't believe it."

Tang En and the others were stunned for a moment, and then looked at the dusty face of the cavalry, the dirty, dark, and scratched armor, and they immediately knew the answer.

Putting aside their combat effectiveness, the name of the Royal Guards is still very resounding. Every year, each legion selects a group of outstanding soldiers to enter the capital and be incorporated into this sequence. For ordinary soldiers, as long as they join the Royal Guards, it means a life of worry-free food and clothing and a bright future. So as long as you are a Bran soldier, you will definitely know.

And the reason why the soldiers on the opposite side don't believe it now is also because of this reason. For example, this is equivalent to listening to all kinds of praise and publicity before going on a blind date, daydreaming about the other person being tall, rich, handsome, fair, beautiful, etc., but when he actually appears in front of you, you find that he has an authentic ** silk style. This kind of The disillusionment of being broken into pieces naturally brings about strong disbelief.

Thinking of this, Tang En and others simultaneously turned their attention to Simpson, who was crossing the ditch quickly. Well, it seems that this person's image is not much better...

…

Across the ditch, the quarrel continued. And as the anger rises, weapons are raised from time to time.

"How courageous! Do you know who you are stopping?"

"Isn't it just the Royal Guards? Haha... I'm not telling you. If you want to muddle through, you should at least put on your outfit before coming back."

"Yes, and this is an important military area. I don't care who you are, just get out of here."

"How presumptuous! If you blind your dog eyes, there are many marquis and earls waiting behind you. Do you want to die?"

"Oh, I'm so scared, I'm so scared... Where can I stay in the cool place! If you dare to be verbose, my sword is not very discerning."

"You still dare to do it? Try moving it!"

"You're so damn arrogant, beat him up!"

"Let me see who dares to move, ah... mother, come on! Beat these bastards to death!"

…

The chaos quickly escalated, and a fight was inevitable. Fortunately, Simpson had climbed over the ditch at this time. Seeing the tense situation here, he quickly shouted: "Stop, stop it all!"

His order was absolutely effective for the Royal Guards, so the crowd that had just come into contact separated instantly. However, during this period, several cavalrymen suffered a loss. After all, those soldiers did not know who Simpson was, and they could not fight each other. A good player will naturally take advantage of everything he can.

Seeing this scene, Simpson's face darkened and he walked over quickly: "Damn it, who is leading you?"

"It's me, where did you, old guy, come from?" A squad leader came out from the patrol. Hearing Simpson's unkind tone, he naturally didn't give him a good look.

"Bold!" Simpson was so angry that he didn't seem to be surprised by this "coming out of nowhere", and his old face turned red instantly, "I am Marquis Simpson, you..."

"Hey!" Interrupting the words, the team leader opened his mouth in astonishment, looked up and down Simpson's homeless look, and laughed, "Marquis? Haha... This is really interesting, and it looks more and more like it! By the way, what's your name, Marquis? Do you want me to bow to you, haha..."

Simpson had never been so humiliated before. The corners of his mouth twitched one after another, and his outstretched fingers kept trembling, as if he was about to have a stroke: "You, you, you... you untouchable, you are dead, you..." Before he could think of any new curses Vocabulary, a fist expanding in sight...

boom! "What are you, you old dog? You better go back!" But the team leader got tired of being scolded, so he punched Simpson and gave Simpson a panda eye.

The scene suddenly fell silent. The cavalrymen of the Royal Guards were dumbfounded. They never expected that the Marquis would be beaten, so they all stood there in shock without any reaction.

"Ahhh...what are you idiots still doing? Kill them, kill them..."
