Chapter 552 Confirming Safety
The moment Fergus fell from his horse, those who followed him tried to escape, but the soldiers' muskets also opened fire, shooting them down one by one.
"Tie them up, tie them all up! Leave them alive first."
For those enemies who are still alive, Lieutenant Colonel Holly ordered this.
At this time, the battle by the river was coming to an end. After firing a few rounds of gunfire, the Alda army ambushed in the forest came out one after another with the sound of the charge, carrying bright guns. Bayonets were stabbed at the rebels who had been frightened out of their courage.
The morale and organization of the surviving rebels who were not hit by bullets had already dropped to zero, and the soldiers captured them all without much effort.
They were tied up one by one with ropes by the Arda soldiers, ten teams in total.
"Battal Commander! Battalion Commander!"
A loud shout came from a distance, with surprise in the voice, attracting Lieutenant Colonel Holly's attention.
He saw two people running towards this side, and he asked from a distance: "What's going on?"
The person running towards him shouted: "The guards of the Lord's Mansion, we found the guards of the Lord's Mansion!"
"What?" Lieutenant Colonel Holly and the instructor Cobb beside him were shocked after hearing this , immediately urged the horse to run over.
It is Mesa, the first company commander. He was directing his company to fight in the woods just now.
There was another person following Mesa. Lieutenant Colonel Holly looked closely. The military uniform on that person was that of a guard in the lord's palace. The guard was wet all over, and his shoes and pants were stained. He was covered in mud, and his clothes on his upper body were covered with leaves and grass seeds, as if he had just emerged from the bushes. His hair was messy, possibly from smoke, and his face was dark, making the whites of his eyes particularly obvious.
"How is Lord Grayman?"
He asked hurriedly, ignoring the other party's breathing heavily.
"Lord Grayman was not harmed." The guard replied while breathing.
Hearing the news, the lieutenant colonel and the people around him were all surprised and happy.
"What's your name?"
"Stefano! Sir, my name is Stefano."
Lieutenant Colonel Holly ordered his men, "Quick, give him some water and food."
Knowing that the lord was safe and sound, a big stone finally fell in his heart, and he was not in a hurry to ask the tired man in front of him. Guard.
Stefano only took the water bag and drank a few big gulps. Before setting off from the lord's camp for reconnaissance, he had already eaten some food, so he was not hungry. He also drank water at that time, but he felt thirsty again when he was hiding nearby to watch the battle.
He and another companion were ordered to conduct reconnaissance in the direction of Babor Village. During the process, they encountered a small team of ten people left by the rebels. They were approaching the camp. After discussion, the companions returned to the camp to report the situation, while Stefano bypassed them and continued towards the village of Babol.
After continuing to march along the river, he soon encountered an ambush by the Eighth Infantry Battalion against the rebels. However, he could not figure out the situation for a while, so he hid nearby and quietly observed. When he saw the rebels After the soldiers were severely beaten, it was confirmed that the army loyal to the lord had arrived. He stayed there, continued to observe and planned to find an opportunity to contact this army.
It was not until the battle was over that Stefano ran out of the hiding spot and shouted to the soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield.
At first, he was almost thought to have slipped through the rebels' trap by the soldiers. Several muskets were aimed at him. He had to raise his hands and cautiously approach them before explaining. Know your identity.
Then Stefano was brought to Lieutenant Colonel Holly by Captain Mesa who had found the treasure.
Stefano knew what others wanted to ask him, so he wiped his mouth with his sleeve and said: "Lieutenant Colonel! Ah, are you Lieutenant Colonel Holly?" "Yes, I am Kurt Holly. , Commander of the 8th Infantry Battalion”
"Great, I went to Babol Village to inquire about the situation on Lord Victor's order. I didn't expect to meet you here. Going in that direction..." Stefano pointed in the direction he was going, "Let's go Two miles up is the Rabbit Valley, where Lord Grayman's camp is. Many brothers were injured, but Lord Grayman himself is safe and sound."
"May the Lord of Light always protect you. He. But, how did you escape the huge fire just now?"
Stefano laughed and replied: "As soon as the fire spread to the edge of our camp, it started to rain heavily. "
"So lucky?"
Everyone who heard Stefano's words, whether it was Lieutenant Colonel Holly, Major Cobb or their subordinates, were all amazed. The people in their minds even had the idea that gods must be helping Earl Grayman.
Holly happily patted the guard on the shoulder, "Stefano, please work harder and take us to Mr. Graiman. I think Mr. Graiman will definitely give you a long vacation afterwards. You take a good rest."
Stefano said without hesitation: "This is my duty, Lieutenant Colonel, come with me. Oh, by the way, there was a team of ten people just now. The rebel team moved toward the lord's camp, but my companions had already gone back to notify them in advance."
"Huh? Let's leave quickly."
Less than an hour. Later, Lieutenant Colonel Holly and Major Cobb met their lord in Rabbit Valley.
"We are late, Lord Grayman, please punish us."
As soon as they saw Paul's face, they half-knelt on the ground to apologize.
“No, no, no!” Paul immediately stepped forward and helped them up.
At this time, he was also extremely happy. With the 8th Infantry Battalion, his safety was finally guaranteed.
"Actually, I didn't expect you to come here so quickly. I thought I would have to wait until tomorrow... ah no, it was this afternoon before I could see you. Haha, let me state in advance that this is not... The irony is true. "
Lieutenant Colonel Holly explained: "Sir, we asked the mayor of the station to help us collect enough horses and rode them all the way. "< br>
"That's it!" Paul understood.
It suddenly occurred to him that he should have a unit that could move quickly, such as...a real cavalry?
But this thing seemed to be very expensive. Paul shook his head and put this idea behind him.
Holly asked: "Sir, I heard from your bodyguard that there is a rebel team..."
Paul waved his hand: "We have killed them! I guess they were killed by Fogg. Si stayed to make sure I was still alive.”
Lieutenant Colonel Holly nodded, "That's good. Alas, I didn't expect Knight Fergus to degenerate like this."
"Knight? Huh!" Hatred appeared on Paul's face, "Forget it. , let’s not mention him.”
Holly’s expression suddenly changed, “Sir Graiman, I have a very urgent matter to tell you. There may be rebels operating in Lake Center Town!”
“Huh?”
