Chapter 41 Bait

Is Rockman coming?

A surge of power surged out of the barbarian leader's body, and he jumped up quickly.

He looked in the direction he came from, and there was nothing except a few of his own people dragging heavy steps.

He was about to scold his men for lying about military intelligence, when he saw the tribesmen in his sight suddenly turned around and ran away, and the speed did not show the fatigue just now.

Oops! As soon as the barbarian leader turned his head, his men had already dragged him away.

From the corner of his eye, he saw rows of fully armed Rock soldiers advancing.

The familiar pennant made him confirm the other party's identity.

Everything was clear, this was a trap.

"Cunning Rockman."

The leader felt heartbroken while running, because he had robbed the money with great difficulty.

But money is important, life is more important.

The barbarian leader pushed his men away and wanted to run faster.

But he forgot that after walking all night, his legs were weak, especially after resting.

After a while, the Locke infantry caught up and kicked him to the ground.

Some barbarians spoke in their native language and shouted that they would not be killed if they surrendered.

At first glance, they turned out to be traitors captured by the Locke people.

Adrian captured dozens of people without any effort, and all those who resisted desperately were killed with a single knife.

Compared with the bloody battle on the front battlefield, capturing prisoners is simple and safe.

Then, one after another, barbarians ran into his hands and squatted on the ground with their leaders.

In the morning, he captured about 150 people.

The rest were probably either lost or missed from the side.

When Simon's cavalry arrived, they were surprised to find a group of barbarian captives squatting.

"Adrian! Did you catch all these?"

Simon's eyes were full of envy. With so many captives, his contribution was not small.

According to Lord Derek's character, the reward would definitely not be small.

"It's all arranged by the centurion." Adrian replied lightly.

This task is not difficult. Although it is a bit hard, it is a good job.

Others will inevitably have some ideas, but this is the advantage of kinship.

He will not refuse the advantages brought by blood, nor will he attract hatred for no reason, so he reminds appropriately: "Simon, you can take people around to catch some fish that slip through the net."

Simon's eyes lit up immediately when he heard it. He thanked him and immediately started to sweep with his men.

There are quite a few barbarians who ran away. Some of them got lost, and some of them hid when they saw the situation was not good.

These guys running wildly on two legs must not run far. Even if they can't catch all of them, there will always be some gains.

...

Derek, who is far away in the town, has always been very calm.

This calmness makes Baron Palmer, who is anxiously waiting, very envious.

"Derrick, you are really a natural general."

He praised so much, even if he knew the result was set, he couldn't control his anxiety, always worried about what to do if something unexpected happened.

Derek chuckled. He was not calm at all. It was his first time to command. It would be a lie to say that he was not worried.

But every time he was worried, he would open the data panel and take a look.

Everyone was still on the panel. Obviously, everything was going well.

Sure enough, the messenger soon brought good news. Otherwise, Simon would have delayed some time in catching people. The victory news would have come earlier.

"Baron Palmer, you take a small number of people to guard the prisoners for the time being. Wait for the arrival of His Excellency the Earl. I will speed up."

According to the Earl's order, the two thousand-man teams are bait.

Since it is a bait, of course, it cannot advance steadily.

Take advantage of the victory and attack, underestimate the enemy and advance rashly. This is what the bait should do.

When it came to dividing the spoils, Baron Palmer rejected Derek's kindness.

According to him, "My family is not short of money. We need military merits and a fiefdom so that we can completely join the ranks of the nobility, instead of just being rich like now."

Listen, how arrogant this is.

However, this emerging business aristocracy really has no shortage of money.

Derek could only accept the spoils silently. Everyone envied the dog tycoon, but everyone loved dealing with the dog tycoon.

After a short rest, Derek led two thousand-man teams and fiercely penetrated into the heart of the barbarian army.

When they arrived here, they were already very close to the Iron Wall City.

At the same time, Count Pereira had just received the news that Derek was advancing again, and he calmly ordered the Second Legion to slowly gather.

"This kid understood what I meant, and he is a daring adventurer. If he doesn't die this time, he can at least earn back a baron title."

Count Pereira expressed his appreciation so bluntly. After all, he didn't send the same order to the 10th thousand-man team alone.

To be able to understand the meaning and even have the courage to follow it, the most important thing is to have this execution. So far, only Derek is there.

Others want to fight now, but they have no chance.

Survival of the fittest, those who stand out may hold on under the attack of the barbarian army.

…

Derrick’s sudden appearance was beyond the barbarians’ expectations.

When they were close to the base camp, the barbarians were at their lowest alert. It was not until he captured several small groups of troops and killed hundreds of them that they attracted their attention.

However, at this time, he drove the captives and broke through an entire town at once.

Before the barbarian army could react, they recovered the lost land.

However, this move is very dangerous, because there are barbarians everywhere.

If you are not careful, the whole army will be wiped out.

Until this time, Derek has not attracted much attention.

Until he drove the captives to strengthen the city defense, and led the cavalry to quickly defeat several barbarian troops and baggage teams that tried to drive them away, forcing the barbarian base camp to pay attention.

Such a force of Rockman’s army is like a choke, which means that the army active around cannot be less than a hundred-man team, and even the baggage team cannot act alone.

This will greatly increase the burden on the army, especially when it goes deep into the Rockman’s territory.

A large number of military forces are occupied, morale is hit, and the impact is immeasurable.

The barbarian commander learned the news, stretched out his hand and drew on the map, and soon found the town occupied by Derek.

It was nailed in the middle, and it could be bypassed on the left and right.

If it is left alone, it will be disgusting.

"Lock Kingdom still has some excellent generals, but they underestimate us too much."

Such a simple intention, do you really think I can't see it?

Isn't it possible to pull out this nail by despising the fighting power of the barbarians?

After asking about the location of the First and Second Legions, he simply poked Derek's position with his finger.

"Let the wolf leader Enrique deal with this group of annoying Rockmen, and bring the troops back to me by the way, the Rockmen's large army is coming."

After realizing that the Iron Wall City was difficult to take, the barbarians actually slowed down their offensive.

The barbarians' goal was simple, to severely damage the Rockmen's support troops, eliminate the resistance forces in the northern province in one fell swoop, and sever the connection between the northern province and the Lock Kingdom in a short time.

The power of the barbarians will be recognized by the three southern countries and officially take the stage... to establish a country.
