After giving a few minutes to prepare, Owen and others did not enter the guard post.
Later, they will follow Lorne to the place where he met the orcs for further investigation.
After everything is confirmed, Owen will send a signal to notify the fortress army.
Lorne, who returned to the sentry, was naturally busy for a while.
If possible, he would of course want to take everyone away.
However, there were only twenty war horses available in the guard post.
The infantry could not keep up with the speed of Owen and others, and the horses Grant used to pull the cart could not be brought to the battlefield.
Counting himself and Grant, Lorne could still recruit a total of eighteen people.
For the soldiers who follow him, they must be fully armed.
Not counting hand crossbows and bows that can be used for long-range attacks, Lorne also prepared a spear for each person to throw.
They are all inferior products brought by Fast and can only be used for throwing.
Hurtful.
"Grant, are you okay?
We are about to set off."
Hanging the most important meat ball on his saddle, Lorne urged Grant loudly.
After waking him up, Grant took his man aside and kept giving instructions.
It's not known how long it will take for Lorne to come back.
In ancient times when transportation was inconvenient, fighting was definitely a time-consuming matter.
Lorne had made arrangements for the soldiers left at the sentry last night.
He was just afraid that if he stayed with Grant's people for a long time, he would be seen as suspicious.
Seeing that Grant didn't respond to his words, Lorne shouted again.
"Don't waste time, let them go to the fortress and wait for us to return.
Anyway, after this trip, we will definitely go to the fortress once."
With Lorne as his protective umbrella, Grant didn't have to worry about his fellow employees cheating on him.
Because theoretically, the team no longer belongs to him but to Lorne's property.
How many people dare to use their brains on aristocratic things?
After appointing a man to lead the convoy back temporarily, Grant asked Lorne for some soldiers to accompany him for protection.
Unexpectedly, Lorne refused.
"Why do you need so much trouble?
Take away the flag on the pole and let me see who dares to cause trouble for me."
The flag on the pole was brought by Fast when he came here.
It has the crest of the Fast family printed on it.
To some extent, it can represent the Fast family.
Therefore, this flag is of great significance.
Lorne's giving it to a small convoy casually was considered an act of insult to his ancestors.
Even though Grant was not a noble, he knew its importance.
Seeing Lorne's rebellious behavior, he wanted to stop it.
But Lorne didn't care at all, because compared to the flag of the Fast family, the secrets of the meatballs and soldiers were more important.
Anyway, in his eyes, it was just a flag to show his identity, and things like a sense of honor were worthless to him.
Someone put Grant on horseback, and Lorne quietly told the guys left behind to practice more chatting before preparing to leave.
After taking two steps, I suddenly caught a glimpse of the stupid scammer standing there like a log.
The burly body is an excellent shield even if it does nothing, not to mention it has the ability to go crazy.
If something unexpected happens, the scammer is simply the best choice for the queen.
There was nothing to hesitate, so he gave the scammer a sign to follow him.
Lorne brought an orc into the Northern Legion's reconnaissance team openly.

Originally there were only thirteen people including Owen and others, but the number more than doubled as soon as Lorne joined the team.
Owen, the team leader, still feels a little confused.
How could he agree with Lorne to take so many people together?
He looked back at Lorne and the others behind him.
Neat attire, strong body, looming hand crossbow on the waist, and the calmness that remains unchanged despite the collapse of Mount Tai.
Owen, who has been in the army for many years, can be sure that this is a team whose combat effectiveness is not inferior to that of any main army, and the leader is a guy named Robert.
Based on Owen's experience, he could conclude that the opponent was a regular knight with fighting spirit.
But although these surprised Owen, they were not the reason why he agreed to Lorne's unreasonable request.
The key was that the most discordant figure in Lorne's team shocked him so much that he did not say his rejection.
Not only Owen, but all the members of the entire investigation team intentionally or unintentionally turned their eyes towards the scammer following Lorne during the march.
The cheater riding the giant wolf couldn't see its silly nature at all, and even Lawrence Baker was stunned by it.
Especially when he heard that Lorne had conquered the enemy after defeating the Wolf Cavalry, Baker's expression was as ugly as if he had eaten shit.
An orc, or a wolf cavalry with two giant wolves, would actually surrender to humans, let's say Baker and the others.
Owen, who had been fighting in the orc grassland for so many years, had never heard of such a thing.
Because of the language barrier and the ferocity and savagery of the orcs themselves, humans have never taken them as prisoners.
It has become a recognized fact among the people of the North that orcs cannot be tamed unless they are newborn cubs.
However, the accepted fact has now been broken.
A little-known or even inconspicuous little nobleman did something that most people couldn't do.
Recalling the rumors they had heard, there were few people who didn't know that Lorne was an illegitimate child.
Originally, Owen was not interested in the rumors among the nobles.
After seeing Lorne's team with his own eyes, he believed that the rumors were a deliberate attempt to smear the young nobleman behind.
This kind of thing happens from time to time in aristocratic circles, and Owen himself has encountered it.
But in the end, he broke the rumors and let everyone see his abilities, and set his sights on Lorne.
The more Owen looked at him, the more he felt that young Lorne had a shadow of his own youth.
He believed that as long as he was given a chance, the young man would prove his ability to everyone just like him.
"Sir Fast, we have been riding for more than an hour.
Look how much distance we still have."
Riding his horse to keep up with Lorne, Owen asked Lorne politely.
After carefully observing the surroundings, Lorne and Grant beside him exchanged opinions in a low voice.
He pointed to the steep slope in the distance and said: "That place seems a bit familiar.
Let's go over and have a look.
It should be where I encountered the Wolf Cavalry." place."
Hearing that they had arrived at the place where Lorne encountered the wolf cavalry, Owen immediately ordered the team to slow down and approach the steep slope vigilantly for the sake of caution.
There is no trace of the corpses of the soldiers that Lorne left behind on the steep slope, but there are a lot of bloodstains on the spot.
It seems that they encountered some large beast at night.
Lorne didn't feel guilty at all about his dead men being taken away and eaten.
He didn't regard the creatures produced by the meat balls as human beings.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have run away in such a hurry without having to deal with the aftermath.
"Yes, there was indeed a battle here."
After careful inspection, Owen and the others found the crossbow arrows shot by Lorne and many traces of the battle
