Chapter 269

The appearance of these refugees is even more miserable than that of the workers in Nord mine. At least the workers in Nord mine still have food and clothing. No, it is mainly that the frightened eyes of the refugees are deeply imprinted in Nord's heart. Nord will never forget what kind of eyes they are, panic, helplessness and despair.

Regardless of the outcome of the war, whether they become the victors in the end, the civilians living here must be the most seriously injured. The city gate caught fire and affected the fish in the pond. After learning the news of TEWIN City, Nord let them leave, gave them some rations, told them that the northernmost territory was very safe and let them take refuge there.

However, contrary to Nord's expectation, after learning that Nord was a noble who went to TEWIN for rescue, these refugees did not leave after eating the rations given to them by Nord. Instead, they asked to join Nord's forces and want to fight against the rebels who destroyed their homes.

"Why? Fighting is not your task. You are just a group of suffering civilians. I will avenge you and those dead relatives and send those damn animals to hell."

The refugee leader was unkempt and could not see clearly, but Nord could see the flame of hatred and the courage of revenge in his eyes. Even if they were reduced to this point, they also had the courage to fight their enemies. Half of the people in their village died in inspired resistance.

The civilians of the Principality of Bethel never lacked blood. If they had no hope of winning, these refugees would not have fled their homes. They must fight to the death with the nobles who destroyed their villages. Therefore, when they heard that Nord was going to fight against the rebels, these refugees joined decisively.

"Dear noble master, please let us do our best. Our home is being invaded by war. We can't stand idly by. We can do whatever you want us to do."

After a long silence, Nord agreed to their request, and then incorporated them into the civilians of the baggage team to help transport goods. Looking at these energetic refugees, Nord didn't know what to say.

As Nord went deep into TEWIN, he met more and more refugees. Soon, Nord's Team exceeded 1000. Just when Nord thought about whether to continue to accept the refugees, Nord found that he had come to the intersection of a village.

Some houses in this village are still emitting black smoke, and corpses are everywhere inside and outside the village, but most of them are innocent civilians, because even soldiers with weak combat effectiveness are much better than unarmed civilians. No, they shouldn't compare at all.

The two teams met so far away that the scene became very quiet for a time. Neither Nord nor the enemy opposite were ready to fight.

Fortunately, Nord responded quickly. First, he comforted the refugees who were about to move, and then asked Lehman and Marco to order their soldiers to start formation and prepare for battle.

Because both sides know that the team in front of them is an enemy rather than a friend. Judging from the flags of both sides, Nord's flag is the Amun eagle with two wings, which represents the ISAAC family. The black-and-white flag is fluttering in the wind, and the flag is held in the air by the tall Aru.

Aru's whole body equipment has been made, and complete protection has been done from head to foot. The refined iron spent on Aru alone is enough to make five Chain Armor.

However, after Aru put on the equipment, Nord was very satisfied with it. The whole set of armor weighed 300 kg. Aru felt no burden on him. Instead, he was as eye-catching as an iron giant, so Nord asked him to carry the flag of his family.

The flag of the army outside the unknown village looks like a black poisonous snake. The green background looks a bit eye-catching. Nord knows that it is the flag of his neighbor, viscount Hobbes. Nord didn't think that many of his high-ranking nobles in the north of Bethel still know the name of the ISAAC family, although the Isaac family has declined, But as an ancient family with a long history, many people will remember it.

In particular, the ISAAC family also married the twain family, which was very sensational news in those years, but it was clear that Viscount Hobbes did not belong to the high-level aristocracy, and he could not know some news, so he regarded Nord as a count of unknown origin.

In fact, there is no problem for Viscount Hobbes to understand this. Nord's strength is not worse than that of ordinary earls. Fortunately, viscount Hobbes runs fast. Otherwise, once the war is fought, Nord has absolute confidence that he can eat Viscount Hobbes's troops at once, and once the two armies are engaged, it will not be so easy for him to retreat again.

Due to the great pressure exerted by Nord's troops, viscount Hobbes's troops were scattered and fled one after another. Those sporadic soldiers fled into the nearby mountains and forests. Nord did not choose to ignore them and kept following the direction of the large forces.

With the passage of time, the number of troops of viscount Hobbes is gradually decreasing. Viscount Hobbes, who runs in the front, finds that this situation is bleeding, because except his confidant knights and his private soldiers, almost all the other conscripted villagers have run away.
