Chapter 710 Deserter

Glenn's eyes flashed with hesitation.

Unless it was absolutely necessary, he really didn't want to fight with Rudolf and several deserters, but as a righteous soldier of the kingdom, he couldn't condone the other party's bad behavior.

At this time, Dominic next to him suddenly whispered, "Glenn, don't be impulsive, think about Enzo and the others, we still have a mission!"

Glenn's face became even uglier after hearing Dominic's words.

The reason why this team was able to withdraw from the kingdom was mainly because they received the task of escorting the wounded. Grann might not be afraid of death, but if he went to war with Rudolf and others, it would inevitably mean putting Enzo and others in danger.

"If you don't want to die, get out!"

At this time, Rudolf also saw Grann's hesitation and sneered, "When Oka and the others come back, you won't be able to leave even if you want to."

"Oka!" Grann's face changed.

He was familiar with this name. He was also a centurion of the Tak Kingdom, but he often violated discipline when he was in the army, harassed civilians at the border of the kingdom, and even raped women. If it weren't for his military achievements, he would have been executed long ago.

Unexpectedly, Rudolf was actually colluding with Oka.

"Let's go!"

In the end, Ge Lan decided to take a step back for the sake of the wounded, and prepared to leave with Ailin and others.

"Wait a minute."

At this time, Rudolf suddenly spoke and said coldly: "You can go, but this little girl must stay."

Hearing Rudolf's words, Ge Lan and others changed their faces.

"What do you want to do?"

Glenn's face was cold, and he protected the little girl behind him, saying, "I advise you not to go too far, Rudolf!"

"Humph! So what if you go too far?"

Rudolf snorted coldly and said with a lewd smile, "A little girl under ten years old is just what I like. I let her run away just now, so there is naturally no reason to let her go now."

"Nicole, run!"

In the tavern, the half-naked woman trembled. She was the mother of the little girl Nicole. Just now, in order to buy time for her daughter, she had been abused by Rudolf and others.

Glenn's face was gloomy.

Suddenly, he chuckled and shook his head and said, "Forget it, after all, we are comrades-in-arms. There is no need to hurt the harmony for a stranger."

As he said, he pulled Nicole out from behind.

Next to him, the girl's mother had a trace of despair on her face, and at the same time, hatred for the kingdom rose.

These heroes who were supposed to protect civilians have now become a group of demons.

"That's right."

Rudolf's face showed a hint of pride. When he saw Ge Lan holding the crying little girl and walking towards him, his smile became even more rampant. He said, "We are fighting with the orcs on the front line and giving our lives to the kingdom. What's wrong with enjoying the hospitality of civilians? I think you should stop serving the kingdom and just join us."

As he said that, Rudolf reached out to grab the little girl Nicole.

However, at this moment.

A cold light suddenly flashed in Rudolf's eyes. He was alert in his heart and quickly retreated to avoid the sword swung by Ge Lan. A trace of ferocity suddenly appeared on his face, and he grabbed the long knife next to him.

"You want to kill me?"

Rudolf growled, and the long knife slashed directly at Ge Lan. After colliding with the opponent's weapon, Ge Lan's face showed a trace of pain.

Compared with the burly Rudolf, Ge Lan was obviously not an opponent.

"You really don't know how to live or die."

Rudolf's face was ferocious, and he increased the strength in his hands. When he was about to kill Ge Lan, he suddenly felt a pain in his neck.

"Uh..."

Rudolf's voice stopped abruptly, blood flowed from his neck, and an arrow had pierced his throat.

Not far away, Ailin had a blank expression.

As Ge Lan's old comrade, when Ge Lan pushed the little girl Nicole and walked towards Rudolf, he already understood the other party's intention, so he quietly bent his bow and gave Rudolf a fatal blow.

"Do it!" The next moment, Ailin shouted.

Next to him, the other two veterans also picked up their weapons and killed several deserters. Ge Lan also chopped off Rudolf's head and completely solved this soldier. The bloody head rolled to the ground.

Suddenly, the tavern became chaotic.

About ten minutes later, everything finally returned to calm. Five of the six deserters were killed, and the remaining one saw that the situation was not good and immediately fled the tavern. Among the several veterans, only Aylin was slightly injured.

"These damn bastards!"

Aylin leaned against the wall, a wound on his shoulder tore, and he grimaced in pain, cursing: "They were as cowardly as mice when fighting against orcs, but they were very arrogant when bullying civilians. When the war is over this year, I must punish these deserters."

Glenn found a pot of strong liquor in the tavern, sprayed it on Aylin's wound to disinfect it, and then bandaged it with a simple cloth strip. Seeing the insulted woman in the corner holding the little girl Nicole and trembling, a smile appeared on her face.

"Don't be afraid, sister."

Glenn tried to be kind as possible and said, "We are all regular soldiers of the kingdom, different from those bastards. Can you please find a doctor for us? Several wounded soldiers in our team are dying."

"Yes... yes, sir."

The woman hesitated, and seemed to feel the kindness of several veterans. She stood up and walked out of the tavern, and soon brought back a short man.

"Sorry, sirs."

The woman's face showed a trace of apology, and she said, "We don't have a doctor in this village, but Taylor is good at treating cattle and sheep. I wonder if he can help you."

"Veterinarian? That's fine."

Glen thought for a moment and nodded decisively. In the chaotic years, it was not easy to find a doctor. A veterinarian was better than nothing. The main thing was whether the other party had medicine for treatment.

Then, Glen asked the three veterans to stay and walked out of the tavern.

He came to the outside of the small village, called Hart and a group of injured people, and went back to the tavern together after explaining the situation.

"One, two, three... five?"

Enzo had recovered a little strength at this moment, got off the cart, and came to the tavern with a wooden stick as a crutch.

After discovering the five bodies on the ground, a trace of solemnity appeared on his face.

When the chip was scanned before, at least fifteen targets carrying weapons were found in the village, but now there are only five here.

This means that the small village is not safe.

There are still ten enemies in the dark, and they may appear at any time, but the veterans are already very tired after the fight.

"Uncle Glenn, are these the only ones?" Enzo asked in a deep voice.

In the tavern, Glenn was cooperating with veterinarian Taylor to treat several injured people. When he saw Karen asking questions, he showed a hint of hesitation on his face and told Karen everything that had happened before.

"Oka?"

Enzo narrowed his eyes slightly. According to the memory of this body, he remembered that it was a fierce soldier whose combat power was comparable to that of a knight.

"Who knows if Rudolph is talking nonsense."

At this time, Ailin said, "That guy always likes to bluff. Maybe he wants to scare us, so he brought up Oka."

Glenn nodded and agreed.

If Rudolph was indeed with Oka, then there was no reason for the other party not to show up when the battle just now happened. Moreover, Glenn had just asked that there were only Rudolph and a few deserters who attacked the small village.

Enzo was still frowning in the original place.

He was very confident about the function of the chip and believed that it was impossible to make mistakes, so there were definitely more enemies in the small village.

At this moment, the chip suddenly issued a warning in his mind.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the tavern. Glenn and Ailin's faces changed. Before they could react, arrows shot in from outside.

Swish, swish, swish!

The sudden arrows killed the two wounded soldiers directly. Hart was caught off guard and his leg bone was pierced by the arrows. He was sweating in pain.

"Damn it!" Glenn grabbed the long sword.

Outside the tavern, several deserters kicked open the door, and a man with a scar on his face walked in slowly.

"Oka!"

Ailin's face changed and his expression became ugly. It turned out that Rudolf was not lying. There were indeed more than just a few people.

"Damn it!"

Glenn's face was also gloomy, and his eyes were fixed on the opposite side. It was the deserter who had just escaped from the tavern who attracted Oka and others.

There were exactly ten deserters surrounding the tavern.

Led by Oka, the deserters were aggressive. Several veterans were trapped in the tavern, and the situation was very bad.

"Did you kill Rudolf?"

Oka looked around with an axe in his hand and sneered, "Drag a group of wounded soldiers. It seems that you have received orders from above?"

Glenn did not speak, holding the long sword tightly in his hand.

There were ten deserters on the opposite side, and only five of them could fight. Among them, Ailin and Hart were already injured. Hart, whose leg was pierced by an arrow, was almost useless, but Ailin could still fight.

The difference in numbers made the veterans have no chance of winning.

What's more, there was another Oka on the deserter side, whose strength was second only to the knight, and he might be able to deal with all the veterans by himself.

"I'm not afraid to tell you, Oka!"

At this time, Ge Lan suddenly raised his head and said coldly, "We retreated from the front line this time, but we received the order of Lord Black. If you know what's good for you, get out of here quickly, otherwise you will bear the consequences."

"Black?"

Oka sneered and said faintly, "Do you really think I'm a fool? Do you think you can scare me by bringing up Black?"

The seventh army of the Tak Kingdom, the legion commander Black.

It was the highest commander of Ge Lan and other veterans, Black, who had the combat power of the Great Knight.

For Ge Lan and others, the biggest figure they could contact was the Great Knight Black. Using the name of this big man to scare Oka seemed to be their only choice.

In fact, of course, this was not the case.

With the status of veterans such as Ge Lan, they were not qualified to accept the order of the Great Knight Black. They were able to evacuate the battlefield under the order of the centurion, which had nothing to do with Black.

"You don't believe it?"

Glenn had a blank expression on his face, but his hand holding the long sword was trembling slightly. He said coldly, "If you are not afraid of death, try to stop us, but you should know that Lord Black has always hated evil. If he finds that we have not returned to the kingdom on the specified date, he will definitely send someone to investigate."

"When the time comes, think about whether your head can withstand Lord Black's sword."

Hearing Gelan's threat, Oka was not moved at all, but showed a playful smile on his face, obviously not believing his words.

Next to him, Enzo sighed slightly in his heart.

Not to mention that Oka didn't believe it, even Enzo felt very speechless about this lie full of loopholes. As an ordinary soldier, how could Gelan have the opportunity to accept Blake's order.

What's more, it was an order to evacuate the battlefield with the wounded.

If there was an important person among the wounded, perhaps this lie could be justified, but in his haste, Grant obviously did not think carefully.

"Even if it was Blake, what can it do?"

Oka's face turned cold, and he waved his hand to order the deserters to surround Grant and others, and said faintly: "Anyway, I have betrayed the kingdom. Even if I don't offend Blake, I will be wanted by the kingdom. Now it's nothing more than one more enemy."

As he said, several deserters laughed sinisterly.

Grant and other veterans suddenly looked solemn, and formed a defensive formation back to back, ready to fight at any time.

However, they had just experienced a battle and their physical strength was almost exhausted.

Facing enemies twice as many as themselves, and Knight Oka, their chances of winning were obviously slim.

In the corner of the tavern, Enzo sighed in his heart.

It seems that in this situation today, he has to take action, otherwise he will definitely not survive when the deserters kill Grant and others.

"The power of origin..."

Enzo frowned slightly. This was one of the only trump cards he had when he came to the Scarlet World. Who knew that he would have to use it now? He was really unwilling, but there seemed to be no better choice in the current situation.

Enzo took a deep breath and prepared to use the power of origin.

However, at this moment.

He suddenly had an idea and turned on the chip with the scanning function. He felt that a team was approaching near the small village, and Enzo immediately gave up his previous decision.

At the same time, everyone in the tavern heard a sound of horse hooves.

Oka's face suddenly changed. Although he didn't know who the person was, he obviously didn't want the situation that was favorable to them to be destroyed.

Unfortunately, things didn't develop according to Oka's idea.

"Go out and take a look!"

Oka said coldly, and then turned to leave the tavern. As soon as he went out, he saw an army of about a hundred people walking towards the tavern.

"Lord Blake!?"

Seeing the leader of the team, Oka's face changed drastically. He never thought that he would meet Blake, the leader of the Kingdom's Seventh Army, here, and the other party also noticed the movement in the tavern.

"Deserters?"

At the front of the team, Black had a gloomy face. He was in a bad mood after losing the battle with the orc army. When he saw the deserters in the tavern, a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

Without any hesitation, Black waved his hand.

The cavalrymen next to him immediately charged and killed the deserters who had just walked out of the tavern.

"Run separately!" Oka yelled and ran towards the outside of the village decisively.
