Chapter 484. Farmstead after the ravages
The members of the Order, who managed to escape from the canyon, were led by the knight who asked for a break to an abandoned farmstead.
They are tired, tired, tired to the limit.
Breaks are needed.
The wounds on the bodies of many knights and knight squires are still bleeding to this day.
It also needs to be stopped for bandaging.
The rebel army was very serious in Nanjunling, and the farmstead, which was not protected by the private soldiers of the top nobles, was almost looted, slaughtered, and burned by the rebel army.
This agriturismo is no exception.
The white bones that can be seen everywhere on the ground are enough to witness the cruelty and tragedy of the past.
The original owner of the farm was mercilessly killed, and his body was abandoned in the wild, where it was eaten by wolves and vultures and turned into bones on the ground.
The wooden buildings of this abandoned farmhouse had been burned to ashes, but there were still some stone buildings, empty and dilapidated, but they always provided a little shelter from the wind and rain, and gave these extremely tired knights a place to stay.
At the very least, it's better than sleeping in the wilderness.
There are still a dozen stone houses left in this farm, and it is possible to build so many stone houses, even in the wealthy Nanjun Territory, it can be regarded as a large farmstead.
After all, the polishing of slate is an extremely laborious thing in this feudal era of low productivity, so the price of slate is also extremely high.
It can be inferred from this that this farmstead may have been the fief of a powerful knight, or it may have been the fief of a knight.
Not even the territory of a down-and-out baron.
Now, it's all in ruins!
This is the case for most of the southern counties.
The southern county leader still maintains the prosperous place of the past, and there is only the manor of the great nobles, and a large number of elite private soldiers have effectively deterred the rebel army that was once a rabble.
The raging of the rebel army caused irreparable huge losses to the southern commanders.
Hurt muscles and bones.
In particular, the destruction of infrastructure, even if the nobles of the southern county lord put down the rebellion of the rebel army in the future, it would be impossible to restore the prosperity and wealth of this land that had been destroyed and ravaged by the rebel army for more than five years.
The stone house was already covered with cobwebs, and some rats also made their home in it.
The doors and windows were dismantled by the rebels, and the wooden doors could be used to make shields, and the wood on the wooden windows could also be used to sharpen arrows and javelins, which were ready-made timber than the rebels cutting them themselves.
All the armaments had been lost, and the knights without tents had no choice but to stay overnight.
More than 300 members of the Knights filled the dozen stone houses.
A dozen members of the Order, who were slightly wounded, were sent by the Grand Knight to stand guard at the entrance of the farmhouse to guard against possible pursuers.
The knights in the stone house took off their heavy armor and began to carefully take care of the wounds on their bodies.
The blood-stained, blood-crusted fine linen robes were torn into strips of cloth by the knights to bandage the wounds that were still bleeding.
The knights were quiet, and the weakness caused by the bleeding wounds, the exhaustion of running for more than ten miles after a great battle, and the low mood brought on by the shameful defeat did not give them the interest to speak.
After treating the wounds, they are ready to rest.
They need to recharge for tomorrow!
It was still a long way from the Knights' Frontline station, and their horses had been lost, so they couldn't make it to Masburg in five days.
Tomorrow, they will not only have to deal with the enemy soldiers they may encounter on the way back to the Knights' station, but they will also have to worry about food, for their supplies have also been lost along with their horses.
...
"General, those fleeing guys are hiding in the abandoned farmstead ahead!"
A desert robber came galloping on horseback, met Rolf who had arrived, and immediately reported to him respectfully.
Rolf nodded, a flash of thought in his eyes, and asked, "How long have they been in?" ”
"It didn't take long to get in, less than ten minutes!" The desert bandit said respectfully.
"Good!" Rolf's face flashed with joy, and he gave the order with a sinister smile: "Guys, let's send those poor knights to hell, where are their companions waiting for them!" ”
Behind Rolf, there are a thousand desert bandits, as well as six hundred elite desert bandits. With such strength, even in the face of the four hundred Nanjun leading heavy cavalry with intact strength, they can completely swallow it, not to mention those knights who are already lost dogs at this time.
Five knights of the Saarion in shiny plate armor and full helmets rode on sturdy horses, also fully armoured, and quietly followed Rolf, who had been sent by Baron Kant to protect Rolf.
Not only did Rolf enjoy this protection, but also Fatis in charge of Masburg, Manid in charge of Drehem Castle in the Sentry Oasis, James who was in charge of the town of Aaron in the Sanwaya Mountains, and the newly recruited hero Bestur, all of whom were accompanied by several lion knights sent by Kant as their personal guards.
Only Bhandak, who has become an apostle of the underworld, does not enjoy such close protection.
As an apostle of the underworld, Bandak is strong enough, and he is not on the right path with the lion knights, if Kant sends the lion knights to protect him, without him being present to suppress him, maybe Bandak will directly fight with the lion knights.
Now Kant's family has a big business, but there are very few senior talents who can help him share affairs and serve as his right-hand man.
He has drawn so many gift packs, and there are only so many heroes he gets, and they are the most precious talents among his subordinates.
As time went by, more and more lion knights, who were equivalent to the top knights, were recruited, and Kant naturally sent some to protect these important subordinates of his.
After all, although this world is in a feudal era of low productivity, there are extraordinary power holders who are beyond the limits of ordinary human beings.
Now Kant's forces have launched an all-out war against the Southern Commander.
In the midst of war, he did everything he could, and he didn't want his right-hand men to die in a despicable assassination in disgrace.
The background of the Nanjun Territory is very profound, and Kant is not clear how many great knights with extraordinary strength there are.
But it is certain that it far exceeds the northern and eastern county collars.
Viscount Wayne, who is in the Northern County Territory, can come up with nearly ten great knights; The Countess of Essaga, who was in the hands of Kant, lost as many as six knights in the hands of Kant.
Even Dylan, a marginal baron who was excluded from the aristocratic circle, was able to come up with three great knights, including himself.
