Chapter One Hundred and Twenty Four: Arresting Traitors
The remnants and defeated soldiers who fled to the siege camp on the open space were completely gone. They were so arrogant that they could not come to this land at that time.
They were like an annoying mangy dog, and were chased by the cavalry of the village of Fold led by Gabriel and fled everywhere.
They could not bear to fight again and completely lost their fighting spirit - the terrifying flames burned their pride and honor to ashes.
In their eyes, they led everyone to win victory after victory. The unrivaled Baron Quinnier said the word "retreat" in a frustrating tone, and was hit by an arrow on his shoulder. This was really frustrating.
Captain Geram knew the faces of each of his brothers. When he came, there were forty brothers. Including the "lucky" who were tied with ropes in the camp and did not participate in the battle since that night, he now has only twenty-three men.
He had no idea that this seemingly winning battle would have completely reversed in such a short time. Most of his brothers were poured with hot asphalt under the crowded walls, then ignited the fire, and died in extreme despair and pain.
He is no longer a captain who is full of energy and has a strong mercenary team. Like Baron Quinier, his authority was frustrated in this great defeat.
He could feel the eyes of his brothers looking at him changed significantly from the past, as if he had just sent them to Satan's flame hell with his own hands.
The traitor Fox was shocked and frightened. He wanted to leave Baron Quinier and run away, but the two armed cavalry left by him followed him tightly, and he had no chance to get rid of them. He wanted to find an excuse to leave temporarily and then escape north, but the cavalry was not a fool, and even if he went to the bathroom, he would watch him go all the way.
"Look, what is that?"
The soldiers who fled in the front noticed the movement from the woods next to the siege camp, and the facts quickly proved that all this was not his illusion.
Suddenly, dense arrows flew out of the woods like raindrops, and a small part shot towards the few left-behind soldiers in the camp, and most of them flew towards the soldiers who were about to return to the siege camp.
Many unexpected deserters fell to the ground by arrows.
Immediately afterwards, a trembling war cry came, and the private soldiers of the Dorsten family led the free civil soldiers and serf soldiers to rush out of the woods and head straight for the camp and deserters.
The deserters were looking for another way out, and they would never be able to go back to the direction of the village wall, because Miller and his militia were chasing them.
They looked around and first ruled out the West - the Rhine next to it was simply an insurmountable barrier.
Now I can only escape to the forest to the east.
However, they were frightened to see that the cavalry of the Folder Village had already assembled with the Dorsten family cavalry led by Lange in front of the forest edge on the east side of the open space.
With Lange's order, the sound of horse's hooves turned from a faint drum to a fierce battle drum, completely shattering the last line of defense in the deserter's heart. Many people threw away their weapons, raised their hands to surrender, begging for forgiveness.
"It's over." Fox covered his face in pain like a frost-beating eggplant. He just indecisively missed the best time to escape. Even if Baron Quinier was captured, he could pay the ransom to regain his freedom.
And he, the biggest traitor in the entire Baron Dorsten leader, could only endure torture and end his life in torture that life was worse than death.
Now, he is already in a turtle and has nowhere to escape.

"Simon, my brother," Lange came towards Simon in the chain mail and scales given at the canonization ceremony, "Can you be safe soon? I have brought you greetings for Koother and Liv."
"Very good, Lange, please bring greetings to them for me," Simon smiled happily, just now, he completely crushed his enemy. "No doubt, this is a great victory, isn't it?"
"Of course, maybe we should hold a grand banquet. But before that, I will take the bastard Fox back to Dorstenburg with my own hands to get the punishment he deserves!" Lange said, and the unchanging and calm face showed a disgusting expression.
It seems that Lange hated the damn traitor to his heart, even though he gave Fox a shot at the temporary camp in the woods a few days ago, it was far from enough to wash away his hatred of the traitor.
"Very good," Simon said with some anticipation, "I will accompany you to Dorstenburg."
"Of course that's great." Lange nodded.
"By the way, I thought, after you received my letter, my father would come with you to attack Baron Quinier inside and outside!"
"Yes, he also wants to come, but now he is convinced that there are spies inside Dorstenburg. In order to ensure the safety of the castle, he must stay at the castle with some armed soldiers. And I can lead the army to complete this task."
Lange's tone of explanation was a little unhappy, and Simon quickly reacted: "I have no doubt about your tactics and command ability. Lange, the facts have proved that way. I was just a little curious and asked casually."
"I hope so," Lange's face was as expressionless as usual, making it impossible to see what he was thinking, "Now, we have to send someone to clean the battlefield, imprison the prisoners, and by the way, to see our loyal old friend Fox."
After Lange finished speaking, he turned his horse's head and rode towards the bound Fox.
The open space was full of prisoners of war tied up with ropes by militia soldiers and private soldiers of the Dorsten family.
Some soldiers were specifically responsible for collecting weapons, shields and arrows that fell on the battlefield, while some soldiers were responsible for removing the armor from the dead.
The village chief and Father James set up a small table at the entrance of the village, recording the spoils and seized supplies. Simon did not see the figure of the pharmacist Arthur Rod. He must be busy in the herbic pharmacy.
During the Qing Dynasty battlefield, a strange rider carrying a cowhide bag came on the main road in the south. Simon probably was the messenger of Count Luowen and came to find Baron Quinnier.
The messenger did not see the family emblem and flags raised by Baron Quinier in the siege camp as usual. In fact, there are many private soldiers carrying Dorsten family shields printed on them in the siege camps, collecting supplies and freeing the enemies who fell to the ground and did not die completely.
After he stopped and watched what was going on in the open space for a short while, he thought he understood what was going on. Before Dorsten's cavalry could get on the horse and chase him, he turned his head and headed in the direction he came.
"Earl Luo Weng will know all this sooner or later, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly. I have to send someone out to collect information and figure out what to do next!" Simon felt that the stone that had just been put down in his heart had been pressed back again.
…………………………………………………………
In the muddy forest road, the soldiers rushed forward with Baron Quinier and Fox in high spirits.
"My dear Fox, you're ready to go home soon." Lange looked at the fat face tied up on the carriage trailer with mocking.
When Lange thought of the time this traitor had spent with him in his childhood, he was not the sadness of things changing, but the disgust that surged into his throat.
The Dorsten family misread people, trusted Fox, who served the family for many years, and delegated the power to his hands. Unexpectedly, it completely activated Fox's dirty and evil nature in his heart.
Koother was kind. After the incident, Nian gave him a free and powerless title after many years of friendship.
Even if he was not as rich and unrestrained as before in the village of Fold, Fox's life could be said to be as rich as a rich peasant. However, the devil devoured his mind, and he believed that the Dorsten family had put him on hold and monitored him at all times. This situation was like house arrest for him, even if the fact was that no one restricted his freedom at that time.
The official position of the tax collector in the village of Folder completely inspired his pursuit of power and extravagance and pleasure, while Simon and Coother ruined all this. He decided to choose another powerful person, the kind of powerful person who had the opportunity to help him revenge.
"Do you have anything to say?" Lange dug and sarcastically sarcastically along the way, who just lowered his head in frustration and despair, without saying a word.
This reminded Simon of the scene when he just became the Lord of the Fold Village to capture Fox - even after being imprisoned for a night, Fox was still like an energetic rooster who never gave up, clamoring and threatening himself.
"We're here." Lange's voice made the traitor Fox raise his head, and the Foldeburg on the hills in the distance and the village below the fort appeared in front of him. He knew that he was one step closer to his death.
…………………………………
Baron Quinnier was a nobleman of the same Kootherpin, and Koother could not tie him up and threw him into the dungeon.
Koother learned from the spy leader that Baron Quinier was a noble who kept his promises. After Koother vowed that he would not escape until the ransom was paid, Koother arranged a guest room for him in the castle.
Usually, Baron Quinnier can walk around the castle and have a table with Koother.
Koother also found the priests and monks from the church to heal Baron Quinier. Koother was very grateful. Every time he saw Koother, he respectfully called him "a truly chivalrous nobleman". However, every time he released blood, he felt a little weaker.
Simon was finally able to reunite with his family. He shared with Koother the construction of the village over the past year, his experiences on the journey to Dresden and the two village guards, which made Koother and his mother Liv laugh from time to time.
Lange is taking the executioner to interrogate Fox in the dungeon, because Coother suspects that Fox is likely to know who the spy is around him who has not been found yet.
He ordered the castle guards and all the private soldiers standing guard in the village to let go before the interrogation results came out, except for the merchant passers-by passing by the territory. His main suspect was the servants and guards in the castle, and even his courtiers.
As a result, the next night, the cunning fox exposed his own feet.
"Ah, you mean bitch, come here!"
A cry of pain at the entrance of the fort attracted the guards patrolling the walls of the fort. Everyone caught the financial manager Yonas, holding a dagger and carrying a gold, silver and soft shoulder bag in the back of the chaos.
It turned out that Jonas was worried that his best friend Fox could not resist torture and betrayed him, so he packed up the money he needed to escape in advance, and took his wife and children in the middle of the night and sneaked out of the room where they lived.
He knew what kind of torture would be waiting for him if he didn't escape.
Jonas, who was originally greedy for living closer to the Baron, could get more first-hand news from Coothera, now regretted his intestines. The inner castle gate of the castle was closed, and a tall and strong armed guard stood guard.
He had to let his wife hide in the stable with her children to saddle the horses, while waiting for him to kill the guards quietly to open the fort door.
Unexpectedly, when Jonas, who had no experience in killing, tiptoed to the half-sleeping armed guards, he couldn't hit him in the neck, so he decided to stab him in the heart with a dagger.
A scene in the drama happened - Jonas, a fool, was nervous and he stabbed the "heart" position on the right side of his chest, completely reversed.
So there was a scene where the guards woke up and cried out in pain, and the guards who came to arrest the Yonas family on the spot.
Old Cooer was furious. Yonas in the dungeon was tortured overnight, and soon confessed his confidant documents and the traitor veteran Dieter.
Lange immediately took people to arrest the two sinners who informed Fox Jonas and set fire to the granary.
The documentary was young after all, and later he was arrested at home. Another Dieter, who killed the old tax officer, disappeared, and Lange was so angry that he scolded his soldiers so much that he couldn't even raise his head.
At least, most of the spy cancers in the territory were uprooted, especially Jonas, the big fish in charge of finance.
