Chapter 69 Conflict, Face

When Baron Huyuan's troops arrived at the road blockade in the northeast of Crescent Moon Territory.

Rand still hadn't completely filled up the partition, but in Baron Huyuan's eyes, it was obvious that he wanted to dig deeper, but it was too late.

Standing by the partition, looking at the dust around the road, and the fertile fields and smoke rising from cooking fires in the distance, Baron Huyuan was in high spirits again.

Soon, this beautiful and rich land will be under his control.

The forces in the hideout hurriedly cancelled the construction and left the partition. Perhaps because they were overconfident, Baron Huyuan did not even give the order to shoot.

But it’s actually no big deal, the rest of the work will be completed by the soldiers in magic steel armor, and the damage from the rain of arrows will not be very great.

When both parties stood on both sides of the partition, Baron Huyuan did not move forward, but stood behind the team to supervise the workers.

He failed in his last attack on Crescent Moon Territory, but he begged and pleaded for a long time before the creditors stopped collecting the debts so anxiously.

If it were Rand, he would tell him that the one who owes money is the boss, but unfortunately Baron Huyuan certainly doesn't understand this principle.

In short, after losing face many times, Baron Huyuan finally got some breathing space. This time, he didn't have the money to hire the Fengrang Mercenary Group, so he was just waiting for them to come to Wanyue Territory to plunder.

However, at this time, seeing that there were still only more than fifty people on the opposite side, Baron Huyuan felt relieved. It was obvious that this group of people had been living in fear here, guarding here for fear that he would attack.

Otherwise, how could he be blocked by such a coincidence? The purpose of his previous threatening letter was also for this purpose. It was a kind of psychological tactic.

Baron Huyuan was actually born into a military noble family. When he was a knight in his early years, he also went to the north to fight orcs and trolls. That was why, when the Kingdom of Lunsa attacked, he was able to accurately judge the gap in strength and abandon his territory and flee.

All I can say is that his military strategy is good, but his courage is poor.

But apart from his military strategy and shamelessness, the other abilities of this Baron Huyuan are very poor. He cannot see that Taner, who now has the habits of a mercenary, is actually a traitor!

Standing on one side of the partition, looking up at Rand standing on the other side from afar, the partition here is still as disgusting as before. The terrain on Baron Huyuan's side is much lower, so one must look up if one wants to see Rand.

However, Baron Huyuan didn't mind at this time, because he could already imagine the fear in the other person's heart.

Previously, five times the number of troops were blocked in this partition, and they were unable to do anything about this group of Stone Age people who were playing with slingshots and throwing stones.

But things are different now. We now have eight times more troops, and you can tell at a glance that these mercenaries are battle-hardened and have good combat effectiveness.

This time, Baron Huyuan also thought of a way to deal with the partition. When he came, he pulled over a dozen truckloads of soil. It seems to be just right at the moment. Once the soil is poured and flattened, it can be filled up.

All I can say is that the timing was perfect, and the opponent was not given the opportunity to dig deeper into the barrier early.

The long-range weapon equipped by the magic fine steel armor soldiers is the crossbow. Originally, this weapon was expensive and difficult to make, but now thanks to the arrival of adventurers, people are much richer, so it is still possible to equip the magic fine steel armor soldiers with crossbows.

But it was not necessary at this time. The people working on the construction opposite were all recruited laborers. Baron Huyuan also prepared a large shield and gathered in front. Although the crossbow arrows could still cause damage, it would not be worth it and it would be a waste of arrows.

And these able-bodied laborers will become his after the battle is over.

Baron Huyuan was very satisfied at this time looking at his well-organized construction team and the large shield blocking the construction team.

This idea was proposed by the leader of the Taner mercenary group next to him. Although this Taner mercenary has bad habits and seems to want money for everything he does, his subordinates are quite capable and their ideas are also good.

When the partition was filled, Baron Huyuan rode his horse to the front again, pulled down his visor, revealing his rather handsome face: "If you beg for mercy now, maybe you can die more comfortably."

Rand really wanted to trash-talk him, but Olenna felt that the distance was already very dangerous, so she pulled Rand back to prevent him from getting ahead.

Now Rand felt that he really needed a loudspeaker, otherwise his experience in quarreling with others on the Internet in his previous life would be of no use at all!

In fact, he could still hear people talking from a distance, but the voice was too soft and the effect was not good. Rand decided to ask Serai beside him for help.

Because of his superb archery skills, Serai was equipped with a longbow instead of a crossbow.

With the help of Serai, Rand successfully shot a stack of papers to Baron Huyuan's feet. They were the threatening letters he had sent before. Except for the first two, the rest were not opened.

In short, read but not reply, and not read but reply.

Baron Huyuan felt his blood rushing up and his face flushed. He ordered his soldiers and the Fengrang Mercenary Group to form a battle line.

Rand also ordered the formation of the troops, and had the magic steel guards raise their halberds.

Just when Baron Huyuan ordered an attack, his line became chaotic. He subconsciously looked back, only to find that the Fengrang Mercenary Group was attacking his troops. Caught off guard, his line was torn apart.

Baron Huyuan looked incredulous, he had not treated the Fengrang Mercenary Group unfairly, and the commission they had agreed upon was not small, so how could it suddenly turn out like this?

The scene he envisioned of making Rand kneel down and beg for mercy seemed to have vanished in an instant.

Now it seems that he has to kneel down and beg for mercy, and it doesn't seem that it may be useful.

When Baron Huyuan looked back at his own line, Rand ordered his men to attack.

The mercenaries of the Fengrang Mercenary Group and the soldiers in magic steel armor quickly surrounded the Baron's troops.

Now Taner's hatred in Baron Huyuan's heart quickly surpassed Rand. He drove his horse back and raised his lance. The silver lance reflected a dazzling light under the sunlight.

Baron Huyuan's martial arts skills have always been pretty good. This time he is finished, but he doesn't want to let Taner go.

Taner was overjoyed! He was originally worried that Baron Huyuan would escape on horseback. After all, Baron Huyuan's troops had more people. If he let his knights escort him, he might still be able to escape.

But now, the Baron Huyuan seemed to be blinded by hatred.

But that's normal, he has never exposed his strength as a top-level professional in front of Baron Huyuan.

It was this fatal information gap! Facing the rushing Ben Mataner, he was not afraid and thrust the two-handed sword in his hand vertically into the ground.

Taner's tall body was not slow in speed. Just when Baron Huyuan rushed to him on his horse, Taner turned slightly, easily avoiding the tip of the lance, then bent his arms and clenched his fists.

The punch was like a bursting flood and an explosion like thunder.

Taner's right fist accurately hit the harnessed horse's cheek, causing the horse's head to dent. The horse rushed forward for a distance due to inertia and then fell to the ground.

Including Baron Huyuan.

This was something Baron Huyuan could not imagine at all. Why would a professional who could have reached the highest level be a mercenary leader of unknown reputation? Just as he was about to stand up, Taner stepped on his chest and abdomen, and then knocked him unconscious with a light punch.

Rand, who was far away, also saw this scene and smiled. Now the war with Lake Source Territory had come to an end.

Now it’s time for Baron Huyuan’s interrogation!

I should be able to publish an update today, around 11 o'clock. If I can't, I'll publish it tomorrow at noon. Anyway, I'm sure I'll publish an update.
