Ryman was a little confused, as if he didn't know whether to catch the head.
After hesitation, Renier's head hit his shield and fell to the ground again and rolled around a few times.
"There is a traitor in your Lion Knight Order, and you didn't even notice the lie in front of you! You almost let him go! Don't you think you should reflect on it! Vice Commander Ryman!"
Li Ang's tone was not very good. This Furious Lion Knight almost let Renier run away, and also asked the knights to kill the fleeing gangsters. He didn't kill those who should be killed, and killed those who shouldn't be killed. He didn't like this kind of double standard that only looked at whether they were nobles!
"Ryman... I haven't asked you yet! What are you going to do with Lion Knight Order entering my territory without permission?"
The lord's eyes were a bit evil.
Ryman gritted his teeth, looked at the head on the ground, then looked at Li Ang, frowned and sighed.
He is actually a reasonable person.
Li Ang used the hilt of a sword to drive away his horse, and pointed out the problem that he should have seen earlier. He also mentioned his father-in-law Count Oden. Although his tone was very rude, there was obviously no hostility.
Therefore, Ryman honestly accepted Li Ang's accusation that members of the Knights had committed treason, and he was indeed negligent.
"I originally led a team to Trublen to exterminate the heretics, and came to the rescue after seeing the beacon fire. Baron Li Ang, what happened? Why are there so many gangsters? Who attacked White Deer Fortress?"
According to the laws of the kingdom, no knights can freely enter the territory of other nobles without permission, unless it is the residence of the knights.
Although Lion Knight Order is a national knighthood and is also known as Royal Knights among the people, they are not an exception.
However, if it was for military reasons, that would be a different matter.
Seeing that Ryman didn't look like he was faking it, Li Ang let out a long breath.
"If that's the case, it seems to be a misunderstanding. I thought you were with Renier... Sorry, Sir Rayman. That's what happened..."
Li Ang whistled to call Alice, got on the horse and walked to Ryman, and began to tell what happened.
"...Lord Li Ang, you used dozens of people to defeat thousands of people... This... is incredible!"
While they were talking, the car formation at the entrance of the village had been removed, and Li Ang and Ryman entered Wheat Fragrance Territory side by side.
Ryman was indeed suppressing heretics before, and what triggered Lion Knight Order's action was the cicada-like human skin that Li Ang saw at Lion City before.
Lion Knight Order has been tracing and received information that this kind of human skin has also been found near Sailenmis and Trublen.
But then Lion Knight Order followed King Ulrich to fight and didn't have time to deal with it.
After the king withdrew his troops, Ryman took some Lion Knight to continue the investigation, searching each village.
For the sake of search efficiency, he brought a total of sixty Lion Knight. Including the knights' retinue, the team had almost two hundred people.
When he arrived at Trublen, he found that almost everyone in the village had been killed, and the village had been completely destroyed by bandits.
In this case, it was natural to search everywhere. Ryman soon found the traces of the gangsters on the west side of Trubul, so he searched all the way west - those were the gangsters who were injured or left behind during the pursuit of Risadiran.
Later, Ryman met the rabble who had been fooled by Li Ang into 'retreating'.
Lion Knight were naturally not polite and killed them with a wave of charges - those gangsters were already 'retreating' and had no fighting spirit.
After defeating them, Ryman saw the beacon fire above Wheat Fragrance Territory.
As the deputy leader of Lion Knight Order, Ryman naturally has a sense of responsibility. He immediately rushed over with nearly two hundred Lion Knight under his command.
Then, on the way to Wheat Fragrance Territory, Ryman saw a beacon fire over White Deer Fortress.
Now Ryman naturally understood that both Wheat Fragrance Territory and White Deer Fortress had encountered enemies.
So he sent people to notify the garrison of Long River Town and Seven Forks Fortress, and then rushed to Wheat Fragrance Territory as quickly as possible to rescue, but happened to run into the fleeing bandits on the way.
Ryman actually didn't mean to kill all these gangsters - when he first saw these broken troops, he thought they were charging towards Lion Knight Order, so he launched a counterattack.
But I didn't expect that it was Li Ang who used a small amount of troops to achieve such results...
After listening to Li Ang's story, Ryman was no longer angry, but instead was shocked and worried.
Shocked by Li Ang's weird tactics, anxious about White Deer Fortress's crisis.
There are thousands of people attacking Wheat Fragrance Territory, so White Deer Fortress is obviously the group army of the Bacchus Empire.
Although the gangsters who attacked Wheat Fragrance Territory were defeated, with Wheat Fragrance Territory's small force, it may be difficult to save White Deer Fortress.
If White Deer Fortress is captured, it is absolutely impossible for Wheat Fragrance Territory to stop the Bacchus Empire army, and it is even possible that the entire Long River Town will fall.
"So, Renier attacked your Wheat Fragrance Territory, probably to block reinforcements and ensure that Bacchus Empire can capture White Deer Fortress."
Looking at the map, Ryman also understood the current situation - if the enemy controlled Wheat Fragrance Territory, then other parts of the kingdom would not be able to detect that White Deer Fortress was being attacked, and would be able to intercept White Deer Fortress's messenger for help.
Only near Wheat Fragrance Territory can you see the flames of White Deer Fortress.
"So I must kill him. Sir Rayman, if your knights did not kill the fleeing gangsters, we can still use them to trick Bacchus Empire into being fooled..."
"Of course, this is not to blame you. I am very grateful to you for coming to rescue Wheat Fragrance Territory. It's just that now, we have to find another way."
Li Ang also looked at the map and said with a frown.
"Before I came, I had sent people to various places to ask for help, but this time, even if the nearest Long River Town garrison marched at full speed, it would take at least three days to arrive... White Deer Fortress I don't know if it can hold on."
Perhaps out of a sense of responsibility, Ryman seems to be quite active in rescuing White Deer Fortress from Godric, more active than Li Ang.
"Ansen, White Deer Fortress Are there any refugees coming?"
Li Ang took the map and walked to the west of the village, asking as he walked.
Ansen shook his head. "No, no one has come over there."
The lord began to instruct Ansen: "You have also heard that it will take at least three days for the reinforcements to arrive. Then, during these two days, extinguish Wheat Fragrance Territory's beacon and light it again in the morning of the third day."
"Understood, sir."
Most of the time, Ansen is an honest person.
Precisely because he is honest, he will firmly carry out such matters that require time and control, and will not make his own decisions.
Li Ang turned to look at Ryman: "White Deer Fortress is probably surrounded by Bax's army. But the enemy hasn't had time to come here to spy yet, and they probably don't know the situation on our side yet... Then, we may be able to buy time for White Deer Fortress."
Ryman scratched his head. "As long as White Deer Fortress can persist for more than three days, reinforcements will come continuously, but with our small strength... how can we buy time?"
"You have two hundred elite cavalry in your hands, which is enough to at least clear out the scouts... Sir Rayman, do you mind leading the knights to intercept and kill the enemy team coming from White Deer Fortress?"
Li Ang stood at the entrance of the village west of Wheat Fragrance Territory, pointing to the road leading to White Deer Fortress.
"Of course there is no problem. Looking at your arrangement, do you not want the enemy to know the situation here? But this will not solve the crisis of White Deer Fortress..."
Ryman looked at the road leading to White Deer Fortress in confusion.
In this section near Wheat Fragrance Territory, the road surface has been renovated by Eric and John, and has become flat and wide, which is very suitable for cavalry operations.
Li Ang shook his head. "No, on the contrary, I want the enemy to know clearly that Wheat Fragrance Territory has been captured by 'Renier'!"
"Ah?"
Li Ang stared at Ryman with sharp eyes. "Lend me some of the most skilled followers, and I can delay the time."
