Chapter 93 How to get him to join?

But the lightning in Ranna's hand did not stop and fell into the phalanx of soldiers again. With a flash of lightning, three more Baifeng infantrymen fell down.

"We have already surrendered." A mercenary shouted indignantly.

"Your surrender does not mean I agree."

Under the protection of four companies of child soldiers, a young man walked out from behind the crowd and slowly pulled down the hood on his head.

"If you kill eight of my people, I will kill eight of yours. That's fair."

Hakuto looked in that direction and saw a young man wearing a papal robe modified into a sleeved suit. When he saw Hakuto looking at him, he stomped the scepter in his hand hard on the ground.

The cross fell directly from the scepter.

The young man immediately squatted down as if nothing had happened, picked up the cross and inserted it into the long crutch in his hand.

"Put all your weapons on the ground. You can keep your private property, but you must leave your weapons and armor behind."

"We ask that, according to the ancient Le Fay rule, each man keep a dagger and not be abused."

"Okay." Horn agreed immediately.

Hakuto and his companions looked at each other. This was not a bad surrender condition.

After all, they have witches, so it’s good enough that we didn’t kill them all directly.

Under Jeanne's supervision, they lined up obediently and handed over their weapons and armor.

When the sophisticated breastplates, chain mail, helmets, short swords and spears were laid out on the ground, the tension between the Black Hats and the Guards immediately grew.

Thirty sets of fine breastplates, twenty sets of riveted chain mail, fifty conical helmets with nose guards, seventy four-meter-and-a-half-meter spears, forty short swords, ten mattocks, and five shovels.

The harvest was so rich.

"What should we do with these prisoners of war?" Das came to Horn and asked in a low voice.

"First find out the situation clearly, ask Jeanna to watch, and then let those brothers who have never seen blood..." After thinking for four or five seconds, Horn lowered his voice.

Horn was still whispering something, but on the other side he heard Jeshka shouting in surprise.

"Hakuto, is that you? Hakuto!"

Jeshka stared at Hakuto, who was tied up and sitting on the ground, and immediately went up to him in surprise.

"Dieska!" Hakuto first screamed in disbelief, then broke free from the soldiers guarding him, rushed up to the sky in anger, and hit Deska on the chest.

Jeshka was immediately knocked to the ground with his eye patch knocked off.

The black hat soldiers on both sides immediately rushed over, holding one of the arms and dragging up the old soldier named Hakuto.

"You killed everyone in the group, and you still have the nerve to show up in front of me."

"If I don't kill them, the whole army will be buried with them."

"Yes, if we kill them, we will be buried with them!"

"It was Barneyforth who caused us harm, and now you want to stand on his side?"

"I am employed by the Kingdom of Leia, uh uh..."

A Black Hat soldier stuffed a rag into Hakuto's mouth, leaving him unable to speak and only able to glare at Jeshka.

There are two models of mercenary groups in the empire. One is the old-fashioned black mercenary group paradigm. They recruit soldiers from their hometowns as their main method, and they know their backgrounds and the whole group is united.

The other is the new paradigm of the White Mercenary Corps, where each captain is responsible for a task and the tasks are subcontracted layer by layer, which is more flexible and more credible.

The first type is that they are from the same hometown and know each other, so the entire mercenary group has a sense of belonging, and sometimes they can even be converted to regular employees.

There are many such mercenary warlords in the Norn region.

The mercenary group that Jeshka and Hakuto belong to is a black mercenary group model, so the relationship between the two is quite good.

Of course, that was before. Jeshka, who was attacked by Hakuto, was not annoyed. He patted the mud on his butt and sighed softly.

Horn walked up to Jeshka and pointed at Hakuto with his chin: "Do you know him?"

"Your Majesty, I was just about to tell you about him." Jieshika lowered his voice, "This is Hakuto Jonifan. If I were to say who I know is the best at training soldiers and fighting, it would be him.

If he can join us, our journey ahead will surely be smoother and more leisurely."

"Oh..." Horn raised his eyebrows. "Professionals, I like them. How can I get him to join us?"

"We can just tie him up and leave." Jieshka chuckled. "Those soldiers saw that I knew him. As long as we kidnap him, then when we run to the Black Bone Swamp, who do you think will be the scapegoat?"

"Okay, let's do this. Blindfold these soldiers, break their toes, and make sure they can't fight again for a month."

Calling Das to question him, Horn nodded to Jeshka and said, "Then I'll leave these soldiers to you to deal with later."

"As commanded, Your Majesty."

Horn took two steps forward and then turned back. He patted Jeshka on the shoulder and said, "We have been friends since we were in Moulin Rouge Village. Next time, if you have something to say, just say it directly. Don't think that your face is worthless."

Jeshka's smile froze a little.

After beating Jeshka, Horn walked towards Das with his scepter.

Das finished interrogating the prisoners and when he saw Horn coming, he immediately stood up to greet him.

"Your Majesty, I have asked clearly." Das came over and told Horn everything in detail.

"There is such a thing?" Horn never expected it. "You mean, that Cléonte thought we were let go by Bellard, and the other person thought we were let go by Cléonte, just because they didn't keep in touch with each other?"

"It seems that the church is no different from us." Duvalon said with a smile, "This is similar to what happened to René and I the day before yesterday."

"How dare you say that." Horn slapped him on the back of the head.

The marching regulations he designed were modeled after the military regulations of King Chuang in another time and space.

In order to prevent surprise attacks, the peasant army would set up a real camp and a fake camp when camping, and place sentries next to the fake camp, ready to be on guard at all times.

This is an experience of great reference value summed up by the peasant army in the long process of fighting against the government army.

After all, specific problems need specific analysis. Horn did not copy it completely, but made a series of improvements based on this world.

But the purpose of setting up the fake camp was just to prevent head inhalation and to provide warning.

When the first wave of Cléante came, he called on the entire army to prepare for a battle for the country's destiny. After waiting for no one to come, he sent out three brigades to conduct reconnaissance.

Why are you guys so dramatic?
Jeanna, who was standing aside, suddenly asked, "Wait, you mean, they will be chasing us for at least half an hour?"

"Yeah," Das replied, puzzled.

Jeanna looked at Horn, her eyes sparkling, "There must not be many soldiers on the road where their camp is located."

Horn suddenly woke up.

The exits from the Ir Pass are well connected, with many narrow paths to walk on.

These two men set up defenses and patrolled everywhere instead of setting up checkpoints directly at the mountain pass because there were too many roads and it was impossible to set up all of them.

This is why Sissi chose to take this route even though she knew that the two might have ambushed a large number of troops here.

There are only three roads out of Rosevo Pass, but here there are twenty roads of varying sizes crisscrossing each other, leading in all directions, and you can rely on gambling to find a way out.

But this information means that they will place their main forces on roads other than where the camp is located.

Based on the idea that "Shorthai has already escaped", if Horn and the others had escaped from this route of the camp, wouldn't they have been discovered long ago?

Therefore, it is impossible to leave too many soldiers in the camp.

"Go, call Djeshka, and find some more clever and nimble soldiers."
