Chapter 1086: Chapter 307: A High-Stakes Gamble (10,000 Words)

"Please, my lords, forgive me..."

Upon the warhorse, Earl moved his right hand, pushing the full mask from his face up to his forehead.

From above, Earl looked down at Sai De kneeling on the ground and asked in a deep voice.

"How many guards does Benitez Manor arrange for nighttime patrols?"

Currently, in Bo Xi Town, there are only Benitez Manor and McKinley Manor.

In other words.

The tens of thousands of acres of land in the entire town are divided into territories of the two manors.

With such a vast area of land, naturally, only one team of guards couldn’t possibly patrol it all.

Even in Master Lynn’s Morgan Town, the nighttime patrol team consists of over a hundred people.

Listening to Earl’s inquiry, Sai De dared not conceal anything and quickly responded.

"My lord, there are a total of twenty patrol guard teams."

"Each team consists of five, led by a guard captain, ensuring patrol in specific areas."

After answering, Sai De quickly pleaded.

"My lord, I humbly beg you to spare me?"

"Rest assured, as long as you spare me, I will never return to Benitez Manor to inform Devont Manor Lord!"

Earl directly ignored Sai De’s words.

His gaze shifted to a nearby armored cavalryman and said deeply.

"Take him and encounter the remaining patrol guard teams."

The armored cavalrymen immediately responded, "Yes, my lord!"

Two cavalrymen dismounted from their horses and bound Sai De tightly with rope.

Listening to Earl’s words, Sai De felt slightly relieved.

No matter what, at least for now, he wasn’t in immediate danger.

As to why the lord wanted him to lead the way to find other patrol guard teams...

Once found, what would happen to those patrol guard teams...

Sai De didn’t care!

As the armored cavalrymen bound Sai De, the sound of cavalry charging echoed from afar.

Earl’s expression tensed, pulling the reins in his hand to turn his warhorse, his right hand gripping the handle of the winged spear beside the saddle.

Ready for battle at any moment.

The other armored cavalrymen similarly heard the approaching sound of charging cavalry.

Like Earl, they were prepared for action.

Until a few minutes later.

The distant cavalry broke through the darkness, appearing in the eyes of Earl and the other cavalrymen...

Seeing the familiar standard armor, Earl’s heart slightly relaxed.

If a large-scale cavalry appeared now.

Charging at them would be unimaginable!

It’s important to remember, this is Bo Xi Town!

Fortunately.

Approaching them was the cavalry team he dispatched.

With the constant sounds of horses being reined in and stopped, the cavalry team halted.

A middle-aged man slightly squeezed his horse’s belly, driving it closer to Earl.

Upon reaching Earl’s side, the middle-aged man quickly reported.

"Earl, the two escaping patrol guards have been slain."

"As per your orders, only one patrol guard remains, returning to the Benitez Manor mansion."

Earl nodded with satisfaction, expressing praise: "Well done."

"Continue to search for the next batch of patrol guard teams."

The middle-aged man promptly lowered his head and responded, "Yes, my lord!"

Bound Sai De listened to their dialogue, furrowing his brows.

The other two guards being slain and him being captured to lead the way didn’t surprise him.

However, could there be a guard who escaped from this cavalry team’s grasp?

Instantly, Pierre came to Sai De’s mind!

But Sai De grew puzzled.

This cavalry team was clearly mounted on warhorses!

In terms of agility and mobility, they’re far superior to the ordinary horses they ride.

If the cavalry team desired, even from a distance of several hundred meters, they could catch up.

Adding to that, the number of armored cavalry seen here.

A separate cavalry team could easily be dispatched to chase down the fleeing Pierre.

However.

This figure called Earl didn’t do so.

Not only didn’t they intend to silence, hiding the information of their cavalry team’s arrival.

They directly targeted other patrol teams?

In the next instant.

Sai De realized something!

This armored cavalry team specifically came to hunt down the patrol guards of Benitez Manor.

Yet allowed one patrol guard to return to the manor mansion.

Once the patrol guard reached the mansion, they would certainly inform Devont Manor Lord of the cavalry invasion.

The manor’s territory was invaded, the manor’s patrol guards hunted.

Then Devont Manor Lord would surely dispatch guards for suppression!

If a large-scale guard and peasants were mobilized, they might suppress this armored cavalry team.

If only hundreds of guards left the manor mansion to reach this vast field...

They would still not be a match for a few charges from this armored cavalry!

Thinking of this.

Sai De seemed to understand why this armored cavalry appeared at Benest Manor!

But Sai De reconsidered.

Even if he guessed the armored cavalry’s purpose now, what meaning does that have?

He couldn’t possibly escape before a near fully armed cavalry team.

The only thing he could do now was to guide this cavalry team.

Perhaps.

There might be a chance for survival!

...

Under the night sky.

Pierre continuously drove his horse forward into the darkness.

Perhaps it was, witnessing the might and terror of the cavalry like the shadow itself.

Or perhaps, feeling the threat to his life...

Pierre’s chest heaved rapidly, heavy breaths pouring out from his mouth one after another.
