Chapter 23: The Reputation of the Royal Guards



"Yes, sir, the sooner we go, the better. Please come with me now," the cavalryman continued.

"Then could you please let me explain something to my companions first?"

"Of course sir, the sooner you can the better."

Walls nodded. From the moment this cavalryman appeared until the end, he was always polite. It was not known whether it was his original character or a special request from their commander.

But now Wals didn't want to guess about these things. After explaining some things to Airen and others, he went with the cavalry to meet their commander.

The closer we get to the forest, the more we can see the Corps’ camp.

In the camp, Wals could see the equipment of this army. Most people were wearing chain armor, with a few sharp axes or long swords placed next to them. Bows and arrows were also indispensable. This was the equipment of the army.

The Shadow Crow Corps now has only built a few tents, which are for some senior officers to live in, while the soldiers sleep directly on the ground, of course, these soldiers are covered with quilts.

It had been sunny in the past few days, so sleeping outside was not a big deal. Besides, they moved frequently, so it was not convenient to set up a tent.

After a quick look at the corps camp, Walls was taken to the largest tent by the dismounted cavalry. It was obvious that this was where the commander of the Fifth Corps was stationed.

"Captain, I've brought the people here." The cavalry said to a thin man. At this time, the man had his back to Wals and the others, and seemed to be looking at a map hanging on a bracket.

"I understand. You can go down." The thin commander replied to the cavalryman. His tone was very strange, like...

Just as Wals was puzzled, the cavalry had left, and the regiment commander turned around and faced Wals.

He has fair skin, a pair of bright eyes, and short golden hair, just like the sun rising over the sea.

"I am the captain of the Shadow Crows, and I am also King Ragnar's daughter, Shegti." The captain introduced himself without waiting for time.

"You are the only one who can have a connection with the king's daughter? Sorry, the Valkyrie Tianyan I know is the former king of the Khergit Khanate himself.

Of course, now it is the Goddess Empire. And your ex-wife, the Queen of Smoking, Ronnie, is also a good partner of the opposite sex to me. "

At this moment, the Baron couldn't help but compare himself with Wals.

[System prompt: Yes, yes, yes, you are right. I am really curious about what expressions Tianyan and Luo Nier would have when they heard you beeping like that...]

Needless to say, it must be an expression of approval!

This sentence was like thunder in a clear sky, shocking Walls. A princess led an army, what were all the princes doing?

But he quickly recovered from his state of surprise.

“Hello, Princess of the Nord Kingdom, it’s an honor to meet you. I am Vols, a descendant of nobles from another continent, and I am currently leading a caravan.

I wonder what the princess wants to talk to me about." Since this princess, Xigti, politely invited me here, I should greet her politely.

"It's like this. I want to ask you to do something for me. Don't worry, I will pay you 500 dinars as a reward."

Shegdee said. At this time, she kept paying attention to the changes in Walls' facial expression, in order to judge whether Walls was satisfied with the reward.

"Why don't you tell me what it is first, Princess?" Wals noticed the princess's eyes, but he also had to decide whether he was satisfied with the reward based on what he had done.

In fact, Walls also wanted to do this because he was in urgent need of money. Recruiting people and paying soldiers' salaries both required money.

"This may be dangerous, or you can choose not to accept it." Higti's words aroused Walls' interest. What was the dangerous thing?

"So what's going on?" Walls asked.

"It's like this. We found a pirate group of more than 60 people in the northeast of Ferchen Village. They set up a lair nearby, and we are now preparing to destroy their lair, but they are outnumbered.

And usually in this case, their ships will be nearby. If we launch an attack, it is difficult for us to guarantee that they will not flee to the sea before we destroy them all. Once they flee to the sea, they will soon come back.

So I came up with a plan. This plan requires the cooperation of a caravan, and my scouts just found your caravan. I need you to lure the pirates and make them attack.

We will enter the place where we have ambushed in advance, so that we can defeat their main force. Then we will continue to go deeper. Since the pirates are short of manpower, I think we can easily control their ships.

Once we control their ships, we can catch them all in one fell swoop." Xigti quickly told Wals her plan. She did this to gain Wals' trust so that Wals would work for her.

"Okay, this plan is perfect, but can I definitely lure these bandits out?" Walls asked a very crucial question.

“Of course, because there is a traitor in their team. With his instigation, these pirates will come out. Moreover, they have not come out to rob for a long time, and they have very little food left.

So we will give you some food, and when they see that there is plenty of food, they will definitely come out to rob." Xigti has told her all her plans.

She may have said this to gain Walls' trust, or she may have said it unintentionally, or of course she may have said it to deceive Walls.

She made up a non-existent plan and asked Walls to do it, and no matter what it was, Walls had to go now.

Xigti is the princess of the Nord Kingdom and now the leader of the Shadow Crow Corps. No matter from which aspect, she is someone who cannot be offended. Now he has no choice but to agree to Xigti's plan. And there will be rewards after the success, right?

"Okay, I'm willing to serve you." Walls prayed that Xigti's plan was really as she said.

Hearing this, Xigti smiled and said, “Very good, we will add some food to your team so that you can attract the attention of the pirates.

When the pirates come, you just need to let your people escape. If you are willing to join us in destroying these pirates, then I will allow you to take everything from the enemies you kill."

These words made Walls a little excited. The pirates' equipment was very good. If he could take away a few pieces of equipment, then his troops could quickly improve their combat effectiveness.

Why not do this? But just like in business, huge profits come with huge risks, and Walls needs to exchange his life for money.

This time they are not facing a defeated army like Malik, but a group of fierce pirates. Despite Higti's plan, it does not mean that there will be no casualties.

If there is a chance, go for it. Walls decided to play it by ear.

"In that case, I will go back and prepare. Please also prepare quickly."

"Okay, I will send a warrior to assist you. He will tell you where to lure those pirates. You wait here for a while." After saying this, Xigti walked out of the tent. About a minute later, Xigti came back.

Behind her followed a burly warrior wearing striped armor, holding a royal guard round shield in his left hand, a one-handed battle axe in his right hand, and a set of chain mail boots on his feet. With such equipment, it can be clearly seen that he is a Nord royal guard.

"In fact, they are our current Nord royal bodyguards, right? They evolved from Nord barbarians." De Lassel thought silently.

[System prompt: Times have changed, only the name has changed, but the combat power is about the same. ]

The Nord Royal Guards are the most powerful infantry on the continent. It can be said that no country's infantry can compare with the Nord Royal Guards. Even the knights of the Kingdom of Swadia are unwilling to fight the Royal Guards on foot.

"Of course, my eagles may be able to fight with them in the future, and win." At this time, seeing Wals's praise, the Baron couldn't help but show off his unique troops.

Seeing Walls' surprised look, Xigti smiled with satisfaction.

"This is the Nordic royal guard Kaiser. I will ask him to take you to the place we designated to lure the robbers."

"I see." Wals replied to Xigti, and then said to Kaiser: "It's nice to meet a royal guard."

Kaiser didn't say anything, he just nodded.

Then, Walls would go to his team and begin to arrange Higti's plan.

In a wooden house in a camp northeast of Felchen, the pirate leader Jeffrey, the leader of the Flying Snake Bandits, frowned.

Now he is holding his forehead with his left hand, and his right hand is on the table. In the dim light, he looks very old.

He was thinking about a problem, a very serious problem.

They are running out of food. As bandits, they can rob others, but now is an extraordinary period and the Shadow Crow Corps is suppressing bandits.

If there was too much noise, it would definitely attract the attention of this army. When the army attacked him, Jeffrey believed that he would have no choice but to flee.

He only hoped that he could survive this extraordinary period and wait for the outbreak of the war in the Kingdom of Nord, so that they would not have the time and energy to clean up the bandits. Or he could survive the period when the Fifth Corps was suppressing bandits, which would also be possible.
