    Unable to get any news from the prisoners, at dawn, after a sleepless night, Larov issued an execution order after hearing that the prisoners were still stubborn.  They are not fighting the countries on Windekenf Continent, so they don't have to abide by anything like the "Captive Law", not to mention that the other party has no ability or desire to redeem themselves.  Not only that, the Atak people never kept prisoners. Due to territorial border issues, the Atak Empire often went to war with the Reit Empire and the Megtz Empire.  The Reit Empire has always been a small country and does not often engage in war.

    But the relationship between the Megz Empire and the Atak Empire was so bad that they often killed prisoners to vent their anger.  Therefore, in the eyes of the townspeople of Dolok, Jesdan and others, the execution of demon captives is a perfectly normal thing.  They felt that the prisoners were a lot of trouble, wasted food, and slowed down the march. They were simply a bunch of waste. There was no need to feed them well.  As for whether his captives would suffer misfortune at the hands of the enemy because of his side's actions no one considered it.

    Roland didn¡¯t sleep last night. He spent the rest of the night on the tower doing ideological work on the prisoners, hoping that they would take the initiative to tell the information or simply surrender.  Roland cited various historical facts and some of his own fantasies to persuade them for three hours.  After all, the Paladin still wants to leave a glimmer of hope for them.

    But the prisoners were completely unmoved. Perhaps they were frightened by the screams of their companions outside the city. They were worried that even if they confessed, they would still not be able to escape the fate of being dismembered by vultures, wild leopards, and Aslago-toothed tigers in the wilderness.  .  In the wilderness, it would be difficult for any lone person to survive a day or night. All kinds of beasts will try their best to have a good meal. It is not the style of those beasts to let go of a good meal.  They lurk in the wilderness day and night, waiting to hear the miserable howls of the dying.

    The method of executing a prisoner is very simple. The most miserable person among the townspeople is responsible for kicking the prisoner off the wall. If he does not fall to death, he will make up for it with a sword.  This is a very traditional method of the Atak people. It is barbaric but effective. It has been followed for hundreds of years. It originated from the custom of pirates forcing prisoners to jump from the deck.  This achieved its purpose and calmed the victim's anger and sadness.

    Rarov successfully recruited twenty experienced soldiers, and more people needed to stay to protect the town from attacks.  After the second prince replenished his supplies, he marched in the direction of Zhangedu in the morning when Sannar was sleepy.

    War Song is located in the northeast of Dolok Town, very close. The flat stone road follows the vast Atak Wasteland and merges into the main road carefully paved with marble bricks. The inns on the road can be rested, and there are always people on both sides of the road.  There are beastsor rather breakfasts prowling.  Li'er thought for a while and found that it would take about three days to reach the Warsong Capital.

    At this time, they were already on the march.

    Leer has been feeling annoyed as he rides on a war horse that he has not seen for a long time.  Volanna did not forget to take the horses out of the Warsong City, otherwise they would become food for the demons who had run out of ammunition.  When Leal secretly told Ma the news, Jace was slapped when he said "go back to Warsongdu". He still can't figure out why.

    Druid looked at the other horse. Foxy and Volanna were riding on the same horse. This was very unreasonable in Lier's eyes.  Logically speaking, Hu Yi should be lying behind him and taking a nap at this time.  He suddenly remembered the Reit Empire, where etiquette was strict, where everyone's lives were restricted, and it was a crime for a woman to hold hands with a woman.

    What puzzles the druid is that in such a heavy-pressure empire, it is actually a place with a developed economy and a high level of art and culture.  Normally, most people in the Reit Empire would be out of breath.

    However, at the annual Windekenff Culture and Arts Festival, the Reiter Empire team won.  Moreover, people who have traveled to the Reit Empire all said when they came back that it was simply a paradise country and they all had a good time.  This series of anomalies made Lear feel very weird, making him want to visit the Reiter Empire.

    "Hey, Hu Yi, I said" Leer shook his head. Now it is serious to reconcile with Hu Yi.

    Hu Yi glanced at Li'er and made a face.  Wolanna made no secret of her contempt for Lear and let out a triumphant laugh. Then she pulled the reins and the distance from Leer was much longer.

    "Jesden." Lear looked gloomy.

    "Don't look at me, I have been expelled by Volanna." Jess looked unwilling, "She and Hu Yi sleep in the same room Difficult women, their hearts are like frost crows in the clouds.  Impossible, changing and gorgeous like the corals on the bottom of the sea.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡± Bert sighed.

    "Burt, why are you sad?" Leal asked.

     "I had a dream when I was sleeping last night." Bert said, insisting that he did not admit that it was a dream when he was drunk. "I dreamed that my wife was sick and was later treated by a kind priest.  alright."

    "Isn't this a good thing?" Jestang didn't understand what he meant.

    "But do I have a wife now!" Bert roared.

    ¡°¡­¡± Lear and Jestang were silent.

    When Leal, Bert, and Jest are together, any journey will be relaxing and enjoyable.  This was Roland's realization after riding behind the three of them for several hours. He tried his best to throw himself into the "God of War Revelation", but within ten minutes each time, he was killed by the three of them.  One's words attracted him.  After dozens of attempts to concentrate without success, Roland simply gave up the task of studying the classics and listened to their conversation.

    Time passed unknowingly, and the Atak Wasteland was covered with snow. The winter god Went did not use a "blizzard" to start a series of tasks this year, but slowly kicked off the prelude to winter.  So much so that today, in mid-December, there is only a thin layer of snow.  In this kind of environment, where the surrounding scenery remains the same no matter whether you walk for ten minutes or an hour, it is easy for time to pass quietly, and it has become everyone's favorite way to pass the time.

    For example, Shi Luo spent ten seconds to shoot an arrow, and then spent thirty minutes to retrieve the arrow.  Sometimes the arrows he fired were blown away by the wind, and by the time he found the main force again, two hours had passed.

    Winter and spring are the frozen periods of the Atak Empire, and both seasons are full of chill.  Winter wheat is harvested in winter, so busy farmers are still harvesting in the fields despite snowflakes.  They are not only human rations, but also food for cattle and sheep who have nowhere to find food.  The people of the Atak Empire were accustomed to planting crops near roads to facilitate transportation.  Therefore, when deviating from the road, the location of the fields can often be used to find the path.  There is not much farmland in the east, and pasture is even rarer because there are too many wild animals.

    If the wild beasts in the eastern wilderness can be cleared away, there will be large tracts of pasture for raising cattle and sheep.  However, if all the wild beasts are hunted down, the natural strategic depth of the Atak Wasteland will become an ordinary plain, and nothing will stop the Megtz Empire from marching straight into the Warsong Capital.  On several occasions, the Megz Empire's expeditions were hasty because their supply lines were cut off by crazy beasts.

    "Look what we found." The scouts came back on their horses, dusty from their travels.  Larov selected a smart young man to ride on the war horse provided by the mayor for free in Dorok Town and take charge of patrolling the surrounding area.

    "A Boi moon bear that doesn't hibernate?" Lear gathered around him curiously.

    "A passing demon?" Bert asked.

    "A girl lost in the snow and wind?" Jace's eyes lit up, and he heard the sound of Volanna silently pulling out a dagger behind him, and then fell into a long silence.

    "Demons." The scout confirmed Bert's guess, "There are not many, ten of them. But the other party was very vigilant and discovered us."

    "Kill them all." Larov gave the order. He frowned, "We can't let them go back to report our whereabouts, otherwise we will be intercepted on the way. After the demons in Dorok Town are annihilated, they must find out  Our team."

    "Waiting for it!" Bert pulled out the red giant sword, "What should I do?"

    "Hanno." Larov turned to the cavalry officer who joined them, "You take all our cavalry and drive them in our direction. Our infantry will stay where they are, waiting to destroy them."

    "Okay." Hanno accepted the order.

    Soon, the recruited horse guards, as well as Bert, and a few soldiers who had received horses from the mayor and knew how to equestrian, all followed Hanno Juechen away.  They lined up in dense formation to avoid losing their direction in the wind and snow.

    Bert looked at the number of people on his side, there were about fourteen.  He felt that with just these people, they could wipe out all the demons in one fell swoop.  He was also a little wary and did not underestimate the opponent's power too much, so he just thought about it in his heart.  The sword spirit is a very reliable scout. It constantly reminds everyone how far they are from the demon clan.  When the sword spirit screamed "one hundred meters", Hannuo asked everyone to stop, go around in a circle and then attack in order to drive the demons to Prince Larov.

    The sword spirit muttered the information about the demons: "Three short spearmen, one cavalry, four infantry, and two archers. It is still a fully equipped patrol team. I think we have achieved something this time, because they are still  Carrying a fat wild boar on his back.¡±

    "Additional ingredients for dinner." Bert said happily.

    Others also looked happy. Their breakfast today was just a piece of soft bread, a glass of milk and a loaf of pickled bread.The air-dried meat was prepared at the wrong time, and I have long wanted to try fresh meat.
