Chapter 557 Robbery of the Robber

"My Goddess, dear knight, we love you."

The rescued villagers did not care about their disheveled clothes. As if they had seen their biological father, they all knelt on the ground with tears streaming down their faces, knelt over and wanted to kiss Field's boots.

Field waved his hand: "I am Baron Field, and I came here specifically to save you. But there is no food in the rear. If you stay in the village, you will be killed by the rebels sooner or later. So you are recruited to be my logistics, and I will also collect the food. Don't worry, I have you." Food.”

"We do."

Not only did the villagers show no resistance, but they were overjoyed.

He actually takes care of the food, is there such a good thing? Being taken in by a kind lord is better than anything else.

There are only about thirty villagers left, and most of them are women. An old woman serves as the new village chief. The village was destroyed and they had nowhere to go.

"My lord, we found very little food."

The mercenaries who came to report dragged two carts of food with unhappy expressions on their faces. Smoked and dried field mouse meat, black bread, and even wild vegetables were collected.

"Tell me, did you hide it secretly?" The mercenaries didn't have much quality. They would drag the villagers and beat them.

Field shouted to stop: "Stop, I said, they are already our logistics and are not allowed to take action."

"Lord Baron, this is really the only food left in the village."

"Is this all the whole village has?" Ashina drooped her ears, "There are too few supplies."

Hearing this, the villagers were so frightened that they fell to the ground again, hesitating and afraid to speak.

Field asked curiously.

"Sir, uh... the adults from the empire have come here to loot the place twice, and the rebels have also come to loot it. It's really gone." The village chief cried.

"Damn, robbery contest, right?"

Field said with shame: "Okay, I don't blame you, you can just help transport the baggage, wash and cook. But if you try to escape, I will never be lenient."

The village chief expressed his sincere thanks: "The goddess protects the kind."

"Let's go to the next village."

"Sir, we are willing to lead the way." The village chief was afraid that he would be killed for being worthless, so he quickly expressed his loyalty, "We know many small roads."

For two days, Field searched three nearby small villages.

Either they were looted by the rebels, or they were looted by the Imperial Army. In most of the shabby houses along the way, you can only see tattered corpses when you walk in, and even cooked body parts can be found in pots.

The desperate villagers who hanged themselves look like a sunny doll, and you can see one soon. Only by finding the cellar can you find living people shivering in it.

As he saw more and more tragedies, Field's heart became less constrained by the empire. He secretly thought: This country is no longer suitable for the queen to rule. The disintegration of the empire is only a matter of time.

They took in more than 320 villagers along the way, but only found enough food for two days.

"We will arrive at our destination, Goat Village, immediately. This is the largest village in the surrounding area." One of the sheltered mountain residents wiped his hands with dirty clothes and tried his best to show his humility.

"My lord, food access is much less than we expected."

After sending the villagers away, Asuna reported in a low voice: "If the Goat Village lacks food, we can only reduce the food supply for the mercenaries or abandon some of the villagers."

The treatment of your own direct troops cannot be reduced. If a mercenary doesn't have to starve, then why should he still be called a mercenary?

Now he has 400 direct line cavalry, 1,600 mercenaries, and more than 300 villagers. They are depleted very quickly.

"Let's go and see it first."

Field was noncommittal and urged everyone to speed up the march.

Soon, a large village similar to a small town appeared in everyone's sight. However, this village built on the mountain has been destroyed into ruins, even more dilapidated than the original Hunter Village.

On the small map, there were not even a few markers.

"These nasty bandits." Gheros was fuming with anger, "What should we do with our food?"

Field raised his hand: "Calm down, I will find a way."

Approaching the village, Field only saw two disgraced people sitting at the entrance of the village at a loss.

Seeing the gryphon flag flown by the army, one of them was so frightened that he went crazy and screamed: "The devil is here again, the devil is here again."

"There is nothing left here, and we have not defected to the rebels."

Another young man said numbly: "Sir, you are late. Another adult has already finished looting."

"Is it from our imperial army?"

"Yes... they just left not long ago and went to the northeast."

When I opened the mini map, I could indeed see a team marching, but it was completely different from the direction Field came from, so I didn't meet them.

"Ha, then we have to go take a look. You dare to rob my things, I have to take them back hard."

Field sneered and raised his eyebrows at Asheena.

Ashina understood instantly, summoned the dragon wolf, stabbed a spear flower in the air: "Wolf demi-human light cavalry, check the equipment."

"What's wrong? Qingqi is suddenly dispatched." Gherlos had not yet reacted.

"The food problem may be alleviated."

Asheina leaned close to her ear and whispered.

"Kuai Jian, you command the mercenaries, set up secret sentries around, and set up a camp in Goat Village."

"The village chief, Ms. Lujiao, asked the women to cook and the men to clean up the construction debris."

"My heavy cavalry, stay alert."

After waking up Feromine, Field took the light cavalry and chased them in the direction the Imperial Army left.

When the target is almost found.

"Everyone, put down the gryphon flag." Field glanced at his own gryphon flag. He didn't like it no matter how he looked at it. He cursed secretly, "The rebels were not afraid of this flag at all. Instead, their morale was high, and their own people were professional. There’s no point in cheating your own family.”

"Change to the flag of our Night Leader! Use the Black Crow Flag for robbery."

"Yes, sir, everyone obeys the order!"

"Raise the Black Crow Flag!"

When the black crow flag, full of the smell of blood, fluttered in the wind, more than three hundred light cavalrymen put on black robes and masks. The brand-new troops were filled with unparalleled vigor, which made Field feel much more pleasing to the eye.

"Let the other party see the tradition of the Night Leader."

Soon, the light cavalry touched the periphery of the target.

This is an imperial army of about 350 people. The continuous convoy is loaded with a large amount of supplies. There are more than a dozen cattle and sheep they are leading, which shows that they have gained a lot.

"Ashina, come with me to say hello first." Field pinched the horse's belly and said, "See the opponent's strength."

After all, there are probably divine chosen ones hidden in the opponent's convoy. They are just as invisible if they don't show their magical power. It's best to test them out first to avoid unnecessary losses.

He raised a griffin flag and drove his horse forward. Before Field could speak, a gorgeous woman rushed out from the crowd on horseback.
