Chapter 689 (2/2)
Struggling to resist the urge to roll his eyes, but not wanting to interfere in the ”household affairs” of the vassal, Loren stopped and turned the topic aside:
”This count of Seth, is he in a high position in the Principality of Boye?”
”He is the confidant of Archduke Varna and Lord Boyle, who most supports the re-election of the Duke of Varna family.” Eckert nodded slightly, and he heard the meaning of Loren's words:
”So it's really strange that he appears here - if the situation is really in crisis, as Archduke Varna described, the count should appear on the battlefield, not at the junction of Boye and Bain.”
”And the Centaur who just raided us...” Lauren frowned slightly: ”they seemed to expect someone to appear here, but they didn't expect it to be us.”
”Or it's not a patrol of more than a thousand people, but a complete legion,” said count Eckert in a deep voice, glancing at the Hussars leader who was about to draw his sword against bosiwar:
”I guess... Count Seth braha must have the answer you want to know, Duke.”
Lauren nodded: ”let the soldiers camp first. We have plenty of time to talk about the war with boy's' good brothers'.”
He always had a hunch that neither the heavenly palace nor the Archduke Varna... They didn't tell the truth about the war.
And... And fascism; If he really came to the East, would the war be inseparable from him?
If it is true, will he face thousands of vast and boundless mutant monsters like eboden or duanjie mountain in addition to centaurs; And the fallen evil gods who were ”summoned” by him?
The eboden war is enough to illustrate the problem - in the face of evil gods, even if they are just ”bodies”, without dragons, the number of troops is meaningless and can only be devastated by one-sided.
Slowly looking back, Lauren looked at the battlefield gradually cleaned up in the distance, leaving only a series of corpses and blood soaked in the grass.
Cold bones, dried plasma... There are centaurs, Boyi and Bain.
Or complete, or incomplete, or only a ”beach” can not see the shape of the ”thing”
The Centaur war has just begun.

It was not until nightfall that the soldiers finally relaxed their vigilance and began to camp.
Compared with the Saxons, the Byrne camp is much ”simpler”; There are no temporary wooden walls, fences and sentry towers (this kind of thing cannot be built on the grassland), and there are no horse pits filled with sharp wooden stakes and fire oil.
The whole camp is surrounded by baggage carts, and then dig a long trench along the edge of the camp; The soldiers' tents were arranged in a neat chessboard shape around campfires - even after they were influenced by the Saxons.
This made Loren, who had visited duanjie mountain and had seen the camp of the saxophone legion, frown; Although Byrne's army is also well disciplined, it is obviously not as rigorous as the Empire in terms of logistics.
But this is all in the future.
Although the camp was very simple, and there was not much logistics prepared so far, Byrne's knights still warmly welcomed Boye's brothers;
However, these forthright Hussars were even more enthusiastic than the Bains, and did not regard each other as outsiders. Even if the two sides only meet for the first time, they are close like a family;
In such a lively atmosphere, Loren received bosiwar's ”brother-in-law and uncle”, and count Seth braha, a confidant of Archduke Varna.
The count of Seth was even more ”forthright” and informal than his subordinates. He rushed into the camp without waiting for a call, stood in front of Loren and asked:
”Duke Byrne, how many people did you bring this time?”
