After Kyle Halton returned, Broken Bridge City was immediately blocked inside and outside. The people guarding the city gates were all direct descendants of the family.

When the young city lord Harding saw the second group of fighting knights who came back, he immediately knew why the direct descendants guarding the city gate had to report the matter solemnly, but he also controlled the news to prevent leaks.

Because they were back, they were still seriously injured.

There are five knights in total, two with broken legs, two with large torso opening. One of them has a scoop on his head, which may be hung up at any time.

This is simply a loss of burden. Unless you can break your limbs and rebirth, these five knight masters will be useless.

Five knights were sent back by an old carriage. The one who drove was an old farmer outside the city, who did the job of giving people and sending letters to some rewards.

The young city lord immediately gritted his teeth and put the old farmer in prison, and then asked what happened to the five knights who came back? Only one of the five knights could still answer the questions, roughly telling the situation last night.

"The city lord ordered a fight for honor, and we launched an attack on the enemy. But the first wave of knights rushed forward were hung on the tip of the gun.

So what if we kill ten or hundreds of them? Those damn untouchables enchanted their weapons and easily pierced the noble armor."

The broken-legged knight had a pale face and an unstable aura. But he was still very dissatisfied. It was shameful that ordinary infantry could use first-level arcane to increase sharpness to his spear.

"Fortunately, there are not many spears that they can temporarily enchant. After the spears of the first row of infantry broke, I rushed away the infantry in the back two rows and slashed two or three of their heads."

Speaking of 'killing', the broken-legged Knight grinned again, which was already a very good merit last night. But soon he said even more sadly: "It's too dark and the battlefield is too chaotic.

I followed a few colleagues to rush out desperately, and rushed out hundreds of meters before I found that there was no one around. We tried to return to the battlefield, but soon found that the enemy had not let us go.

A group of light cavalry attacked us in the dark. I swear, I had a desperate battle with them. Both sides were red-eyed and suffered casualties.

Their combat skills are not good, but we have to admit that the other party’s cooperation is better than ours. They can always attack our weaknesses and fight against the singles. Two of their colleagues soon died, and the other two had to retreat."

The broken-legged Knight twitched a few more times, "Retreat is not smooth sailing. Whenever we feel that we are safe, the enemy's light cavalry can always escape from the darkness.

We couldn't tell the direction, so we could only keep running. As we ran away, I was separated from my colleagues. At that time, no one cared about anyone and just wanted to ride a horse and run away.

But in the end I found myself going around and back to the battlefield, confronting the enemy again, but ended up losing my legs. I thought I was dead, but I didn't expect them to be captured by them to go to Midoriya Town."

After saying this, the broken-legged Knight pulled out a letter from his chest and handed it to Harding.

"I haven't been in Green Valley for long. The evil Hugo probably saw that I was useless and sent me back with several other knights, as well as this letter.

He asked me to repost a sentence that he had about eighty captured Halton family knights in his hands, all of whom were intact. He said that as long as we promised his conditions, those knights could be returned to us."

The letters on the papyrus were very crude, with blood stains on the pages and not very clear in the handwriting.

Harding stared at the broken-legged Knight and slowly took the letter. The content in the letter was very simple, requiring more than 80 captured knights to exchange for something. If the Halton family disagreed, the knights would be executed.

"The monster Hugo captured more than 80 family knights?"

Harding felt incredible. Shouldn’t his own knights be brave and stubborn? But by counting this way, more captured than those who escaped, and more than those who died in battle.

The broken-legged Knight smiled bitterly, "Yes, Hugo asked me to count it. Not many people died on the spot last night, most of them were killed during the escape at night.

More people surrendered without hope. They probably thought they could come back as long as they paid the ransom. But the evil Hugo obviously didn't think so."

The letter's request is simple. Broken Bridge City must pay a compensation for defeat, lift the trade and traffic blockade, and submit a letter of vote.

The first two requests are easy to say, but in the end this is troublesome. Victor Hugo directly named in the letter: "Leave the old wizard Bank who visited Broken Bridge City last night to Hanfeng City for disposal."

In just one day, how did the monster Hugo know that Bank of the long-legged family is in Broken Bridge City?

Unless... there is a traitor in the city.

Thinking of this, Harding couldn't help but sweat. A series of names and avatars flashed like lightning in his mind. The great nobles who refused to send troops last night looked suspicious.

What should I do?

The city lord fainted and the young city lord had no idea at all.

Agreeing to Hugo's request is undoubtedly equivalent to setting a gap with other noble forces in the north. If the long-legged family is restored successfully that day, the Halton family will never be left behind.

But if you don't agree...

Harding couldn't help but feel even more panic--more than 80 family knights were in the hands of the enemy, which was a valuable asset. If these subordinates could be brought back, the Halton family's status in Broken Bridge City would not be shaken.

Where is the lesson of the long-legged family? If the family's strength is weakened, it will be an endless consequence. How to decide will test the ruler's ability.

At this moment, both at night and after the war, Zhou Qingfeng cleaned the battlefield in an unknown village and prepared to withdraw the team back to Lugu Town.

The heavy-loaded four-wheeled carriage pulled the bodies and limbs of the dead, and rumbled to take the lead. More than 100 wounded soldiers lay in the temporary medical tent on the road outside the village, and they had to wait for the second batch to set off.

Zhou Qingfeng has a large number of magical positions that can be converted into healing magic every day, but only a small number of the wounded people who can be rescued. The believers of the "Mother of the Epidemic" act as military doctors and use homemade herbs to take care of the vast majority of the wounded.

"The infantry regiment suffered 182 casualties, of which 57 were irrecoverable seriously injured and killed. Others should be able to return to the team after treatment."

Outside the medical tent, the infantry regiment commander Ma Han reported the statistics to Zhou Qingfeng.

The casualty rate is quite large. The infantry regiment has a total force of 500, but the combatants are only about 400, and the rest are logistical support.

If a team loses more than 40%, it means that it completely loses combat effectiveness.

Both of them looked very good.

"Transfer people from the supplementary regiment to restore the combat effectiveness of your three battalions as soon as possible." Zhou Qingfeng ordered.

After taking down Hanfeng City, he immediately trained a supplementary group of 300 people. The training of the supplementary group was not enough and the equipment was much worse. But now he had to support it if he couldn't.

The cavalry team with about 100 people also suffered more than 30 casualties, and the permanently damaged troops reached 10%. Fortunately, it was difficult to replenish infantry, but it was difficult for cavalry companies to replenish them.

The only thing that made Zhou Qingfeng happy was that he defeated the Halton family in Broken Bridge City and eliminated the threat from his west side. He dared to bet that if he had a crushing defeat last night, he would give Kyle Halton ten courage, and the other party would not dare to cause trouble.

The fierce battle last night, more than 200 noble knights were beaten and fled in scattered ways. This battle would definitely give the other party a deep memory.

It was dark at night, and Zhou Qingfeng's light cavalry could not stop the opponent from escaping. But the next day, the light cavalry in Hanfeng City drank physical potion and worked hard to capture the prisoners.

The fleeing nobles were in a panic at night, and the horses were not strong enough. They were basically within five kilometers of the surrounding area, and they were sure to catch each other.

There are more captive knights than they were killed.

All the prisoners were tortured and sent back to Hanfeng City like prisoners. Zhou Qingfeng's eyes were not as good as those of aristocratic dignity, and the defeated ones were not qualified to make requirements.

"With these prisoners in hand, I am not afraid of any trouble on the flank of the west. I can concentrate on dealing with the Buqi family who came from the south. I heard that the family emblem of this family is a snake-haired banshee, but I wonder how powerful it is?"

Zhou Qingfeng thought in his heart that the banshee castle that really posed a threat to Hanfeng City was the Banshee Castle. At this moment, a messenger rushed from the direction of Hanfeng City to ensure that he had timely communication with the city.

The city is safe and sound. At most, the strange maids sent a message - the modification of "Jiying" was very successful, and the owner will get a brand new mount.

But "Jiying" himself has reservations about this sentence.
