Each of the girls shared a tent with two, while Nangong Long lived in the coach's tent by himself.
"The armor on the Iron Armored Army is definitely better than the ones made by my principality. The bandits didn't damage the armor when they hacked on them, but the weapons in their hands were broken." Mira sighed in admiration.
"The quality is undoubtedly top-notch, but most people can't bear that weight. Let alone fighting, it's hard to say whether they can walk normally. Where did the Earl find these strong men?"
"Who knows, the physical strength, endurance, and speed are all scary, and the scariest thing is that they seem to have no feelings of their own"
Mira was wrong about this point. Death knights have their own ideas and wills, but they put Nangong Long's order as the top priority.
"The real order is forbidden, the terrifying army," Sophie said with emotion.
In the middle of the night, Nangong Long walked out of the tent, the sky was full of stars, the moon hung high in the night sky, the evening wind gently brushed his cheeks, and the insects in the grass rang into his ears.
Sage No. [-], who had been guarding outside the camp, saluted him, and then obeyed his order to summon the death knights to march up the mountain.
With the cover of darkness, Sage No. [-] flew to the top of the mountain alone, and then found a remote place to open the portal, and the death knight who was waiting at the foot of the mountain arrived at the city in an instant.
It was already the middle of the night, and most of the bandits were fast asleep, but the Death Knight would not be soft on this.
Only a few bandits had the opportunity to take up arms to resist, but that would only increase fear, and it would be better to die in sleep.
Taking advantage of the death knight's solution to the bandits, Sage One found the place where the women were held, and the guards were easily killed.
It was the women who shrank back in fear because of the wailing, screaming, and begging for mercy from the bandits outside.
A ragged woman dared to ask Number One wearing a silver mask:
"Are you here to save us?"
No. [-] nodded and did not reply. The women relaxed, and hope appeared in their eyes again.
The sun rises from the sky, and the death knight escorts the woman down the mountain. They can ignore the darkness, but ordinary people can't.
The property robbed by the bandits was moved back to the camp by the death knights who had gone down the mountain before.
When everyone was gone, No. [-] used magic to turn the corpses on the ground into undead soldiers, and then sent them to the main army. After finishing these, he used magic teleport to follow the team going up and down the mountain.
In the early morning, Sophie, who just got up and walked out of the tent, saw the belongings piled up in the camp, and there were many figures approaching in the distance, as if there were women.
"What's wrong?" Mira asked behind looking at Sophie who had stopped.
Sophie moved away and pointed to the things in the clearing and the distance.
"A lot of things should have happened last night, let's go to the coach's camp."
The woman was temporarily placed in the tent of the death knight, while the leader of the bandits was escorted to the tent of Nangong Long.
"You are brave enough to let the soldiers attack up the mountain overnight. I am convinced, but I don't understand how you escaped the patrolling people." Knowing that he would definitely die, Donabein looked away.
"Soldiers act cunningly, by surprise, you can guess everything, how can I mess around?" Nangong Long, who was sitting on the chair, said with a smile, Ai Lian and the others stood behind him.
"Tell me, who is behind the scenes?"
"Will you let me go if you tell me?" Donaibein said mockingly, how could the other party let a bandit go without letting him go.
"No, but I'll give you a treat"
"Hehe, do you think I'll be afraid if they're all dead?" Donaibein sneered, with disdain in his eyes.
Nangong Long didn't care about the attitude of the other party, but said something creepy in a flat tone.
"I don't know if you have heard of the punishment of thousands of cuts. It seems that you have never heard of it. I will explain it to you kindly. It is like the literal meaning. Cut off the flesh of a person one by one, a total of three thousand Six hundred knives, one more knives and one less knives will not work."
"No. [-], how many cuts do you think he will die?" Nangong Long shifted his gaze to the undead adjutant standing beside Donabein.
"Subordinates will finish [-] knives," No. [-] replied in a sinister tone.
Chapter 18 Wash it up and return it to you
In the end, Donebein couldn't resist the fear in his heart and confessed everything.
Viscount Aojie's choice of neutrality aroused the dissatisfaction of the Duke of Tainati, so he sent him to integrate the bandits to make trouble in Tritor and teach the Viscount a lesson.
Nangong Long kept his promise and asked No. [-] to take him out to give him a good time.
It was already two days after returning to Beluv, and the group spent a lot of time in order to return the girl captured by the bandits and the looted property to the village.
When they first saw the Alsace army, the residents of the city hid in their homes and waited. It was not until they saw the carriage behind the team that the residents rushed out of their homes in a swarm.
What was carried on the carriage were the items looted from various villages by the bandits who had nowhere to return them, and some usable equipment and so on.
Residents who lined the road greeted them with cheers and applause.
Since the appearance of the bandits, a sense of unease has spread among the residents, especially after the defeat of Viscount Ojie, this unease has become even stronger.
Now that Alsace's army has returned in triumph, the ~big rock in the hearts of the residents has finally landed.
Nangong Long, who was at the front of the team, waved to the enthusiastic residents.
Arriving at the lord's mansion, Nangong Long and others were taken to the hall by the maid, and Viscount Aojie greeted them in a dark-colored dress.
In the center of the hall stood a table that could seat about ten people, and a huge fireplace was embedded in the wall.
As soon as they sat down, the drink was served by the maid, and the silver goblets were filled with wine.
Nangong Long let Icarus and Tita sit on the left and right sides of him, Tita was a little restless, she was just a maid, is it really okay to sit in such a formal occasion?
Seeing Tita's uneasiness, Nangong Long gently touched her head, Tita blushed, but felt relieved a lot.
Icarus stared straight at Nangong Long, his face said to touch her head, but Nangong Long touched her pink hair again.
Ellen, who was sitting next to Icarus, gave him an angry look.
The Viscount who saw this scene didn't say anything. Although Tita was wearing a maid uniform, she was obviously not an ordinary maid.
After the episode ended, Viscount Aojie bowed his head deeply to Nangong Long.
"Earl Nangong, I would like to express my sincere thanks to you as Lord Tritor"
"It's a good thing that the villagers can return to a peaceful life. Why don't you see Masiha?"
"Mashha went to the capital two days ago, it seems that there is something urgent"
It should be to meet the king to confirm whether he is really insane, Nangong Long thought.
"I want to ask something, are there no prisoners?" After thinking about it, Viscount Ojie decided to ask the question in his heart.
"I don't need prisoners, any of the crimes they committed deserves the death penalty"
Although he was surprised by Nangong Long's actions, the Viscount didn't care too much, the bandit died as soon as he died.
"Alsace's army is really powerful. They managed to deal with the bandits occupying the territory so quickly. They really deserve to be the soldiers who defeated the Tainadi army."
"Speaking of Tainadi, I want to remind you of one thing. I interrogated the bandit leader, and he confessed that all this was ordered by Tainadi. That man is very dissatisfied with your neutral approach.
There may be a second time to disturb the law and order of the territory, and Tai Nadi is not the only one who is dissatisfied. Jianulong is also not a good person, you neutral faction had better unite," Nangong Long said calmly.
In the final analysis, neutrality is just their wishful thinking. How could the two dukes who are in the same situation allow someone to be neutral? No one wants these people to suddenly fall to each other.
Cold sweat broke out on Viscount Aojie's forehead. No matter which side the Duke of Tainati and the Duke of Canulon sent troops to attack them, their troops could not stop them. Thinking of this Viscount, he couldn't help but look at Nangong Long.
"Don't look at me, you have to bear the consequences of your own choices"
Hearing Nangong Long's cold answer, the old Viscount smiled wryly, yes, they chose to watch when they heard that Tai Nadi sent troops to Alsace, so why should others send troops to protect them now.
"Thank you for letting me know, even so, I will not surrender to Tai Nadi or Canulon. I swear allegiance to the royal family"
Leaving the Viscount's mansion, Nangong Long led his troops on the road back to Alsace.
After walking out of the city, Sophie smiled and said:
"Let's part here"
Next she will go to Brunu's royal capital.
Nangong Long handed her a small bag, which contained the military expenses given by the old Viscount and the money for purchasing the dozen or so sets of excellent armor.
As for the other captured weapons, Nangong Long gave them directly to the old Viscount, which was not a good thing. It would be useless for him to ask for it, so it would be better to be a favor.

He rejected Viscount Aojie's request to form an alliance, not just because they were on the sidelines, but also because of another deep meaning.
"Take it, it's not a bad thing to bring extra money when you go out"
"Then I'll take it"
Sophie smiled and took the money bag, then unexpectedly hugged Nangong Long, pressed his face to her chest, and whispered in his ear:
"I will miss your cozy mansion"
"Release Yinhui quickly." Ai Lian stared at Sophie angrily.
Sophie let go of Nangong Long, and said to Ailian in a joking tone:
"Don't be so stingy, it's okay to lend it to me, if it gets dirty accidentally, at worst, I'll wash it and return it to you."
........................................
Ailian stared at Sophie dumbfounded, not knowing what she was thinking.
Three days later, the group returned to Alsace.
That night, Nangong Long, who walked into his bathroom, reaped unexpected benefits. Mira stood in the bath as if she was about to leave, with drops of water dripping down the ends of her blue hair.
Mira froze in place like a stone statue, but it was Nangong Long who reacted first.
"Sorry, I didn't expect anyone else"
After regaining her senses, Mira pretended not to care and sat back in the bathtub. Of course she was shy, but as a war princess, she couldn't show that expression.
Fortunately, the temperature of the bath is relatively high, and her face is already a little red.
Seeing Nangong Long turn around and prepare to leave, Mira said:
"Let's hang out together, I just want to talk to you about something"
She didn't doubt Nangong Long's words, they should have finished their bath at this time.It's just that Mira didn't want to take a bath with Ailian when Sophie wasn't there, so she would appear in the bathroom at this time.
"It's okay to turn around"
Looking at Nangong Long who was soaking in the bathtub with her back turned to her, the corners of Mira's mouth raised slightly, which was quite polite.
Soaking herself in the water below her shoulders, there was still thin water vapor on the surface of the water, and the two of them occupied one side of the bath. Mira didn't think Nangong Long could see anything, so she let him face her at ease.
This time without Ailian present, she can talk about things she is curious about, which is why she is willing to let Nangong Long stay.
