The atmosphere in the military tent was solemn.
The young man who whipped Hagen with a whip before sat steadily on the main seat, his face was gloomy, and his eyes were flashing with rage.
Conrad and the other three knights stood respectfully on one side, not daring to breathe, just quietly watching the scene in front of them. The young man was scolding Hagen who was kneeling below.
"The Damon family has only two hundred family private soldiers in total! But you have the courage to give such an order to shoot them!!!"
The young man slammed the table, shaking the objects on the table and his voice exploded in the entire military tent.
Hagen lowered his head and knelt there silently, his body trembling slightly.
He knew very well that what he did would inevitably arouse Vito's anger, but under the circumstances at that time, he could not suppress the surging emotions in his heart.
Whenever he saw those useless people doing their job poorly and failing to complete their tasks, he would feel an irresistible killing intent in his heart, and he wished to wipe them all out immediately.
At this moment, a heavy breathing sound came into Hagen's ears, and he couldn't help but tremble all over and slowly raised his head.
When his eyes met Vito's eyes burning with anger, he hurriedly lowered his head again, indicating that he was willing to accept the punishment: "Master Vito, please calm down. This matter is entirely my fault. I bear all the responsibility alone. I am willing to accept any form of punishment..."
"Punishment? Humph! Do you think that just a punishment can make up for this loss? Do you know how long it takes to train forty well-trained sergeants? How much precious materials and energy will be consumed?!!"
Vito became more and more angry, veins popped on his forehead, and his hands clenched into fists, as if he would rush up to give Hagen a good beating at any time.
Listening to Vito's angry words, Hagen lowered his head silently.
As the first guard knight appointed by Vito himself, he knew Vito's character very well. When Vito was angry, he must not refute him. As long as he showed that he was willing to be beaten and punished, Vito would not really punish him.
"Huh..."
Seeing Knight Hagen's appearance, Vito took a deep breath, then glared at Hagen who was kneeling on the ground, and then waved his hand: "Go down and reflect on yourself!!"
"Yes, Lord Vito." Hagen stood up silently and walked out of the military tent. He was relieved until he came out of the military tent.
After Knight Hagen left, Vito set his eyes on Conrad on the side and said in a different tone: "Conrad, you sit down first."
"Thank you, sir..." The four of them thanked in unison and then sat down.
"Tell me, what happened?" After seeing the four people sitting down, Vito looked at Conrad who was sitting on the left.
Hearing Vito's question, Conrad immediately stood up and slowly told Vito everything that happened in Rhine Town, and finally told Vito about the siege.
"Oh? Such a powerful gang of criminals appeared in my territory? Where did they come from?"
After listening to Conrad's description of those fierce robbers, Vito's originally angry face was instantly occupied by strong curiosity, and his eyes flashed with excitement, as if he had discovered something new and exciting.
Conrad smiled bitterly and shook his head, then slowly said: "Sir, to be honest, I know nothing about the origins of these people. The place where they first appeared was the Old Charlie Tavern in the town. As for the situation before that, no matter how I tracked it down, I still found nothing."
Vito heard this and became more and more interested. He couldn't wait to ask: "Then compared with the group of robbers who often robbed caravans you mentioned before? Who is stronger?"
Conrad frowned slightly, and a trace of hesitation appeared on his face, but after a short silence, he decided to tell the truth: "Sir Vito, if you put that group of robbers against the gang of criminals in front of you... I'm afraid the former is like children playing together."
After all, not every gang of criminals has enough courage and strength to steal a town.
Similarly, not every gang of criminals can recruit so many and extraordinary subordinates.
Thinking of this, Conrad couldn't help but secretly sigh at the strength and terror of this gang of outlaws.
At this moment, Vito crossed his arms and stared at Conrad with interest, his eyes flashing with curiosity and expectation, and then asked: "Since the other party has such a strong strength, thenSo with the power we have now, are you sure you can defeat them? "
When Conrad heard this key question, his originally calm face suddenly became a little stiff, and a trace of embarrassment that was difficult to conceal quietly climbed up his cheeks.
At the same time, he quietly cast a look of help to the other three knights beside him, as if hoping that they could stand up and explain the current difficult situation to Lord Vito on his behalf.
One of the knights keenly caught Conrad's hint, and he hesitated for a moment, quickly thinking about the countermeasures in his mind.
After a while, he took a deep breath, took a step forward, saluted respectfully to Vito, and said: "Lord Vito, please forgive me for speaking frankly, judging from the current situation, it may not be easy to successfully defeat these enemies. "
Hearing this, Vito frowned slightly and snorted to express his doubts: "Huh? Why? Didn't Conrad say that there were less than a hundred people left on the other side? "
The knight quickly continued to explain: "Sir, although the enemy is not large in number, the remaining people are not only extremely powerful and skilled in fighting, but also more troublesome, they are all fearless and completely disregard their own safety and fight to the death. "
"Before, we have launched two attacks on them, but they were repelled by them, which greatly hit the morale of our soldiers, and... we lost more people..."
At this point, the knight paused and continued: "If the soldiers from Kanerba Castle were not shot by Knight Hagen before, resulting in half of the soldiers losing their lives, maybe we can still use them as the main force and try to attack again, but unfortunately... Alas! "
Accompanied by his heavy sigh, the other two knights simultaneously cast their eyes full of praise and admiration towards him.
After all, at this critical moment, they can also add some trouble to Knight Hagen's heart, which really makes them feel sincerely happy and happy.
Sure enough, after hearing the last sentence, Vito's face showed obvious dissatisfaction.
"Stupid Hagen, I will definitely punish him severely." Vito cursed, and then continued to ask: "Now tell me, do you have the ability to take them down?"
Conrad and the three knights looked at each other, and then they all looked embarrassed.
"Well, it seems that you don't have this ability..." Seeing the expressions of the four people, Vito instantly understood in his heart, but the next second, his eyes turned, and a strange smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"Conrad, I have an idea..."
