Chapter 206 Deterrence and Loyalty
The sun gradually rose, and the second half of the night finally passed.
Cain couldn't help but jump onto a high ground and look back to the south, where Harad's army was.
"What is that?"
He squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, only to see that the army had stopped advancing at this moment. There was an open space in the center of the army, and there were two figures in it.
One of them looked familiar, quite familiar, as it was the despicable leader of the Harad army who had ambushed him a few days ago.
As for the other person...
"It was Levi. He brought the leader of Harad's army to his knees - probably intending to take him prisoner to force them to retreat."
This thought popped into Kane's mind.
As expected of him, he captured the enemy leader with ease. He is so powerful.
Just as Kane expected, after a while, Harald's army collapsed layer by layer with Levi as the center, retreating madly and no longer maintaining their formation.
…
Boom…
The mammoths changed direction and moved quickly toward the southern river bank, and the army retreated to the mainland.
"I'll do anything, don't, don't kill me."
The commander knelt on the ground, head lowered, not daring to look directly at the person in front of him.
"I swear, I swear that I will never be your enemy, including your subjects and anyone close to you!"
"Oh, so aware?"
Levi raised his chin with his sword out of curiosity, put the tip of the sword against his neck, and forced him to raise his head.
The commander took a breath and had to look at Levi.
But that face didn't seem as hideous and terrifying as he had imagined.
The dazzling sunlight spread across that face and shone directly into his pupils, but he couldn't even blink.
That eyeball just calmly reflected the things in the outside world, including itself kneeling on the ground.
"You should understand that something like 'oath' is very important."
"Once an army broke their oath to Gondor. After death, they could only become ghosts and be imprisoned in a sunless temple. They have not been able to rest in peace until now."
"How can I ensure that you won't forget what you said the moment you turn around?"
"grown ups!"
The commander no longer showed any fear. He said seriously, "You are worthy of me doing this. And, I know the price of wavering."
Levi didn't give an answer for a while, but just asked, "I heard that you are tracking down a blue-robed wizard?"
"Yes, he kidnapped our court wizard, who was also a wizard, and they had some disputes."
"Cancel the hunt for him and don't set foot on this land again."
"Sir, I am just a small commander of the troops on both sides of the river. There are some things that I cannot decide."
The commander looked embarrassed.
"Um?"
"But I promise that your will will be realized, at least within the scope of my jurisdiction." He immediately added.
Levi couldn't help but smile.
“Interesting.”
"Have you any Gondorian prisoners?"
"No, my lord. Our only captive has also betrayed Gondor. This action was caused by him, but don't worry, he is dead."
He should be dead, right? The commander wasn't sure, but that was all he could say.
Dead?
Levi didn't speak for a moment.
If this is true, this guy died a worthy death.
"I have another question."
He did not pursue the matter further, but continued to ask: "I heard that you withdrew all the troops targeting Gondor two years ago. What was the reason?"
This question was asked on behalf of Kane, and this is also one of the main investigation targets of the commando team.
Upon hearing this, the commander was speechless.
"It is because of you, my lord, that the Dark Lord has gathered most of our forces and is marching towards Khand. The front line cannot be maintained, so we have to retreat temporarily."
“…”
"OK."
Levi put away his sword and waved his hand.
There is nothing more to ask now.
"Go ahead and remember what you said."
"I hope you are a wise man."
"yes."
The commander quickly stood up and ran back after his troops.
"My lord, my name is Bashir."
After running two steps, he suddenly turned back and said this cautiously.
"It doesn't matter."
You don't care, but I do. Bashir frowned, but he only dared to complain in his heart.
I hope this gentleman can remember his own name, so that he won’t be killed by me without knowing the difference between friend and foe someday…
After a while, he finally caught up with his main force.
"Commander, you're back!"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Well, I'm back."
As soon as he arrived at his base camp, Bashir immediately returned to his usual indifference and brutality.
But not all the people here are fools. There are many suspicious points about Bashir's return, such as - he was not killed by the legend? Although it is disrespectful to think so to his own leader, how could he survive from that person's hands? "You managed to escape from his sight." The deputy came over and took the initiative to bring up the matter with a hint of meaning.
"I used my treasured treasure and the lives of his companions to exchange for his return. Do you have anything to say?"
Bashir's tone seemed a little cold.
"No, I just want to say that it's all worth it!"
"All the treasures and prisoners are not as valuable as your life. Even our king will think it is worth it."
The deputy quickly lowered his head.
Bashir narrowed his eyes.
This deputy is indeed a good deputy. He performs his duties conscientiously and can basically complete any order well.
But...
Too curious.
pity.
Bashir shook his head, mounted the horse brought by his deputy and walked forward.
Unfortunately...we are no longer family.
The Haradrim army withdrew to the south bank of the river, and the Harondor region might usher in a period of peace.
Levi stood there and looked around. After finding that there was indeed nothing left, he turned around and went back.
"How about it?"
As soon as he caught up with the main group, Kane came over to greet them.
"They have withdrawn their troops and will probably not come back for a long time. I have also asked for the intelligence you wanted to find out."
"They retreated because of some unusual events in the east. Sauron called on them to gather their forces and march eastward. The troops on the border of Gondor retreated because they could not hold on."
"I understand." Kane nodded.
"But I am a little curious, who is the enemy that the Dark Lord wants them to defeat?"
"They actually need to gather tens of thousands of troops. Their enemies are probably no weaker than Gondor."
Since we have a common enemy, maybe we can win them over.
"It's me."
have to.
Surprisingly - even to Kane himself, he was not surprised at all by this.
Thousands of words can be summed up in four words: just get used to it.
"Well, mind if I take this news back to Gondor?"
"It's not inconvenient, nor is it something shameful."
"clear."
"One more thing..."
Kane hesitated and said, "Have you seen Tritt?"
"No."
"He was slain by the leader of Harad's host."
Kane stopped moving and said nothing more.
He returned to the team and selected four people, including himself, to form a standard five-man ranger team. He also appointed a temporary captain and ordered him to lead the others to continue to garrison here. He then returned to Gondor with Levi and the newly selected team members.
