Chapter 345 Unexpected Harvest
Beside the creek, a man in traditional hunter attire was releasing water. When he was about to lift his pants, two black figures rushed out of the woods behind him. In the blink of an eye, they pushed him to the ground with both hands. Button back.
The person who was arrested was a man who had just entered old age. He had a rosy complexion and good clothes and shoes. He was a man with a small fortune.
“One of our own!” the man shouted, “I am one of our own!”
The young soldier Spike who held him down sneered and asked: “Who are you and your own? ”
The man continued to shout a little anxiously: "I am really one of my own!"
Metzger came over and saw that another soldier only found an ordinary dagger and some coins from him, and felt heartbroken. I wonder if this person is either an ordinary person or a well-trained spy.
"Where are you from?" Metzger asked.
The man replied: "My name is Farben, and I am the steward of the village of Hofmann."
Metzger asked again: "Where is this village?"
< br>
Farben replied: "It only takes half a day to walk downstream along the creek."
Metzger frowned. All the maps of the area were memorized in his mind. There was no such name around. village.
"It seems you are dishonest." He shook his head and said, "Dig a hole and bury it directly."
If the water hadn't just been released, Farben would have peed now. Out.
It has always been common for the army to kill civilians. From having fun after meals to borrowing fellow villagers' heads, from the wind being a little noisy today to the rice they just ate having too much salt, the most indispensable thing is excuses to kill.
Not to mention that it was war time. Farben felt that before being stripped naked and buried in a pit, his ears would be cut off and become part of their military merit.
"Master, please spare my life!" Farben struggled desperately, but was pinned down tightly and could only bully the grass beneath him.
He continued to shout: "I am one of our own. Many people in our village are related to your Mr. Hoffman!"
"Also, my son, he is in Mr. Benz works in the car factory and has spoken to Duke Wesson!"
Metzger raised his eyebrows and asked him with interest: "Which Mr. Hoffman are you talking about?"< br>
Farben hurriedly said: "That's Mr. Hoffmann who has four wives!"
Metzger thought for a while, Hoffmann's hometown is just downstream of the creek, maybe he can talk to this man is the same place.
On the top of the mountain nearby, the regular army and militiamen formed a circular defensive position. Hoffman was lying in the grass like everyone else. When Metzger sent someone up to call him, his head was full of questions.
Hoffmann was shocked when he went down to the foot of the mountain and saw the man on the ground, and asked: "Master, why are you here?"
Farben did not expect that Hoffman would appear here. He hurriedly said: "No, no, no, you are the master!"
"Mr. Hoffman, I'm here specifically to see you!"
"Master... no, that pig that only knows how to sleep. He was sent to guard Byro City. Madam said he could help take care of him. Come in!"
Hoffman frowned and said nothing. The knight in the village was old and very sick. He slept for more than twelve hours a day. Everyone was waiting for him to wake up. Come on, how could you be sent to defend the city?
Seeing that he didn't believe it, Farben hurriedly said: "Archduke Franken gave the sleepy pig a secret medicine. After taking it, he can be as energetic as before, but he will not survive next spring."
"The Grand Duke said that as long as he agrees to take the medicine and defend the city of Byro, after the war, he will be conferred the title of eldest young master and inherit the knighthood."
Hoffman curled his lips. Not to mention the secret medicine, the young master could not even ride a donkey, but he could actually become a knight. Farben continued: "You should know that Madame was actually sold to sleepy pigs..."
Hoffmann shook his head and said: "I don't know."< br>
Farben choked and thought to himself, he used to be a serf, how could he know what was going on in the big house.
“That’s right,” Farben explained briefly, “My wife’s family was a businessman, and they owed a large sum of money at that time, so my wife’s family sold her to Sleepy Pig. By the way, the second lady is not The child of Sleepy Pig is only known to be the escort knight of a foreign lord.”
"The madam said that she can take people to Sleepy Pig. After that, she just wants to give the second lady a place for admission to Weisenberg University without examination."
Hoffman nodded, the madam asked before She had asked about her university quota several times, and after she was elected as a member of Parliament, she even went to Weissenburg to ask about it. However, the right to exempt from examination for university admission was only in the hands of the Duke of Weissen, and not even His Excellency Richard Nall. no way.
From this point of view, it should not be surprising for a mother to help her daughter.
Hoffman had no control over the matter and turned to look at Metzger.
Metzger was thinking, Barrow is a larger city in the Principality of Franconia, and it vaguely supports each other with the enemy camp. It is the main defense direction of the large forces blocking the retreat, and it is also the main defense direction of the large forces blocking the retreat. The geographical location is very important in predicting the main escape destination of the Archduke Franken.
However, it is unreasonable to entrust such an important place to a knight who takes drugs and consumes his life. No matter in terms of his title or ability, it is unreasonable.
He was too lazy to think about it. Firstly, he did not have the authority to handle such a big matter. Secondly, it conflicted with his established goals and it was impossible to cross the line to participate in this matter.
They brought communicators and reported the situation immediately.
The headquarters quickly replied: "Read it, continue to perform the original mission. -001"
Metzger said to Farben: "Duke Wesson already knows about this matter, and there is currently no Reply.”
This was the first time for Farben to see the legendary communicator. He had lost his virginity just now. After coming back to his senses, he asked: "Duke Wesson didn't refuse, did he?"
Metzger replied: "It's not clear. Refuse."
He then said: "You have seen us. Logically speaking, you cannot go back to report us."
"You have two choices now, either follow us or... ..."
Before Metzger finished speaking, Farben immediately chose to follow them. The second option was a dead end. You didn’t even need to think about it.
Next, the team rested for two hours by the creek as originally planned. Half an hour after the rest, everyone took out dry food and water for lunch.
When the break was about to end, the headquarters called the team's communicator and got the latest order.
Metzger was a little surprised and called Hoffman and asked: "Is there a larger open space near the rest point tonight?"
Hoffman thought for a while, shook his head and said: " No, there are mountains there, only there is some grass by the river at the foot of the mountains."
Metzger reported this situation to the headquarters, and soon got an order to meet them tonight, asking them to do so. Place luminous signs in appropriate places and add a final sentence to prepare more dinner.
That night, the team arrived at the reserved camping site as planned, leaving a stewed pheasant for dinner.
In the second half of the night, someone panted and contacted them, obviously running all the way, and then left with Farben.
