Although they were still a little worried that this man could defeat the terrible Thracian King.
But for them, it didn't matter. No matter who won, they just had to kneel down and surrender. However, in their hearts, they naturally hoped that the Byzantine queen in front of them would win in the end. After confirming some key information, Hilde led the troops back to the direction of the main force.
Soon, the news that the Byzantine army had arrived in the heart of Thrace spread to the villages on both sides of the river. These Thracians were almost harmless farmers. Even if there were people in the village who could fight, they were basically recruited by the Thracian king. The ones left were ordinary farmers, farm women, children and the elderly. However, the number of elderly people was far less than Hilde expected. Later, Hilde learned more from Starlex.
That's where Adelicia is.
After crossing the river in front of us.
About a hundred kilometers further north is Adelaide.
As the highest-ranking tribe in the Thracian Kingdom, Adlicia naturally assumed the responsibility of the capital. There were tens of thousands of Thracians living there. Some were from the Adlicia tribe, and others were from the soldier class. These people might be the loyal followers of the Thracian king. However, Sitalses was an Adlician, and he told Hilde that the Adlicians did not like the Thracian king at all, because he was cruel and indiscriminate.
Even the Adelisians could oppress almost all Thracian tribes.
But they were also oppressed by the Thracian King and his hunter troops.
Coincidentally, Starlex mentioned the hunter.
So Hilde asked, "I've heard the word hunter these days. What does it mean?"
"Ah, didn't Lord Sitalses tell you? The hunters are the elite troops under the Thracian king. They are the personal guards who protect the Thracian king. They are the most powerful warriors from the Thracian tribes, and they have unparalleled combat strength. These people are the most loyal subordinates of the Thracian king. At the same time, the Thracian king has given them the greatest power. They can kill people at will. As long as they think that this person is not loyal to the Thracian king, they can directly kill a person."
"..."
Hilde heard this and frowned.
"You mean, they are the most loyal elite troops of the Thracian King?"
"Yes...it is true."
"It looks like this is indeed a bit tricky."
"I'm not sure about the number of hunters. I heard that there are about 1,000 to 1,500 of them. I've seen them several times. They wear very rough armor and hold weapons that look exaggerated and even funny. But I know very well that they are the most terrifying warriors, completely brainwashed killing machines. If we fight the Thracian King, we will inevitably have to fight them. By that time..."
"I understand."
Hilde understood what Starlex meant.
Such a force.
It is indeed a bit scary.
Hilde knew that this army was the most terrifying army in the entire Thracian Kingdom, and was also the most brainwashed. Therefore, even if Hilde occupied Thrace, all the hunters had to be wiped out. On the one hand, this guy would definitely bring a lot of trouble to Hilde; on the other hand, these people had too much blood on their hands. They also became irrational and murderous, so no matter what, they had to be dealt with.
The Hunter Who Suddenly Appeared
The troops rested for a night.
Hilde did not sleep all night, but walked around outside the barracks to observe some places that concerned her.
After arriving in Byzantium, Hilde had always regarded the Thracians as his biggest concern. Now, he led a powerful army and had penetrated deep into the enemy territory, but it was like a heavy punch hitting a sponge. There was always an indescribable discomfort. The Thracians here were all weak farmers. They lived in poverty and had no fighting power. They were even more pitiful than slaves. You know, the slaves in Byzantium lived better than them.
So, what went wrong?
In the middle of the night, Hilde spread her wings and soared in the sky.
Although it was pitch black below, Hilde could still see many things that concerned her.
Farmland, villages, small towns, the people here still live in a relatively primitive state. They have no city walls, no prosperous cities, and almost no commercial trade, because there are almost no roads between villages and towns. Therefore, it is difficult for Hilde to judge where the capital of Thracian Kingdom, Adlicia, is by the road. So, after flying in the air for a while, Hilde finally returned to the military camp.
When she returned to the tent.
Sophia stood up with some concern:
"Sissi."
"what happened?"
"Diony is missing."
“…When did you find out?”
"Just now... when I woke up, I didn't see Dione sleeping, so I went out to look for her. I thought she went to the bathroom, but I waited here for a long time and couldn't find Dione. I, I just went to find Amyntas, and he has taken people to look around." Sophia lowered her head in some confusion and said worriedly, "I'm sorry, Sissi, I, I didn't keep an eye on her. I was worried that something might happen to her."
"...I'll go look for it."
Hilde smiled.
"Don't worry, everything will be fine as long as I'm here."
"Sissi..."
"Don't worry, be obedient and wait for me here."
Hilde didn't say anything more, just turned around and walked out of the tent.
To be honest, it was a simple matter to get the soldiers to get up and look for Diony. However, Hilde did not want to mobilize her own army for such a private matter. It was meaningless. So Hilde flew into the sky again in a place where no one could see her. She could not let others see this posture.
However, Dione has always been a very obedient child.
Why did you suddenly run away this time?
Hilde originally thought that maybe he really had an accident when he went out to the bathroom.
But think about it carefully, Sophia lives in the central army tent, and the surrounding area is the guards cavalry camp. Hilde is not sure whether other soldiers will do such a thing, but the guards are the most loyal people under Hilde, and they will never do such a thing. After all, these guards are people who will bow their heads to show respect when they see Sophia, a slave (although she is not now).
Then there is a very high possibility that Dione ran away.
This reminded Hilde of what happened today.
Dione said this is her home?
Could it be that he discovered something?
As Hilde was thinking this, he was flying in the air, searching for Dione's whereabouts. At the same time, the guards were holding torches and searching outside the barracks. Hilde looked at their struggling search and couldn't help thinking: After finding Dione, I have to spank her and teach her a lesson for causing so much trouble to hundreds of people...
At this time, Hilde discovered that there was a light in a village in the distance.
You know, here in Thrace, fire at night is very precious.
Hilde had just flown for such a short while, but didn't see any fire in any village.
So, Hilde arrived above the village at the fastest speed.
"Dione..."
Hilde saw Dione.
At this moment, Diony was being dragged into the village by a man in armor, who was dragged by her hair. There were about five of them in total, and they all looked like soldiers, but they were not Hilde's army. Diony tried to struggle, but how could a weak little girl like her resist an adult man?
"asshole!"
Hilde's heart suddenly tightened.
Then he rushed down directly.
"Let me go! Let me go!"
"Shut up!"
Dione was thrown directly to the ground.
A soldier wearing a ghost mask took out a skinning knife from his pocket. He looked at Dione coldly and said, "I didn't expect you to be mixed up with these Byzantines. If His Majesty knew about this, he would definitely skin you. I'm really interested in your delicate and fair skin."
"Where on earth is your filthy mother?"
Another soldier took out an axe.
"Otherwise, I'll chop off your limbs."
"me……"
Dione was crawling on the ground crying, but someone stepped on her back.
"Today is such a good day."
Seeing Dione struggling and crying, the other soldiers couldn't help but laugh and said:
“I can actually meet this guy here.”
"If we present him to His Majesty, we will receive many rewards!"
"That will have to wait until Your Majesty has eliminated the Byzantines and comes back here."
These people were talking smugly, but they didn't know that danger was approaching them.
Dione felt pain all over her body. She hadn't felt such pain for a long time. But she suddenly felt something, as if a thought flashed through her mind. Something familiar was approaching here quickly. Dione was stunned for a moment, then raised her head and shouted loudly: "Hilde--!!!"
The foot that was stepping on Dioni's back suddenly lost its strength.
Then there were two thuds and the two people fell directly to the ground.
Dione pulled herself up and looked up.
"I am coming."
Hilde stood in front of Dione, her face covered with a layer of cold frost, and her murderous aura made people feel fear from the bottom of their hearts. In Hilde's hands, she held a head in each hand, as if she was holding some garbage. The two soldiers who were bullying Hilde just now had their heads dropped to the ground, and their faces showed unexpected horror, as if they had no idea what was going on.
Hilde threw the head aside.
"You are the 'Hunters', right?"
The sixth chapter, the tenth chapter, is about the girl's life experience
"This guy……"
"What is she saying?"
Unfortunately, these hunters obviously did not understand Greek.
At this time, Dione, who was behind Hilde, quickly got up and said, "He, they don't understand Greek."
"Oh? Could you please translate it for me?"
Facing the sudden appearance of the silver-haired woman, especially the fact that she was holding two human heads in her hands, it was very scary no matter how you looked at it. Just now, before they could react, Hilde had killed two people directly. This situation made the remaining three hunters a little scared. However, the fear soon turned into a strong desire to fight. They all took out their weapons and said in Thracian, which Hilde could not understand: "Kill her!"
"what--!"
A hunter rushed over directly.
Hilde clicked his tongue, reached out his hand, and grabbed the hunter's arm.
There was a loud snap, and the hunter's hand broke off.
"Dione, help me translate! Ask them if they are hunters!"
"Yes!"
Dione quickly said in Thracian:
"Are you 'hunters'?"
"Ahhhhh!!!"
The man caught by Hilde was howling in pain. The other two were holding their weapons, not knowing what to do. They did hear what Dione said, but it was obvious that they did not intend to cooperate with Hilde. So Hilde could only say, "It seems that these guys are stubborn. Dione, cover your eyes, don't look, good boy, understand."
"Yes……"
Dione obediently covered her eyes.
"In that case... just keep one."
"asshole--!!!"
Although the right hand of the man next to him was broken, he desperately took out a knife with his left hand and stabbed Hilde directly. However, Hilde just turned slightly to the side and turned behind the man, then put his hands on the man's neck. With a click, the man's head was turned 270 degrees, and then his body softened and fell to the ground. The other two hunters saw this scene, not only did they not run away in fear, but they rushed over waving their weapons.
At this time, Hilde noticed.
Of the two, one had better weapons and equipment.
The things on the body are also more exquisite.
I guess he should be considered an officer-level figure.
As Hilde thought about this, he disappeared in front of the two men like a ghost. Just as they were wondering, the officer heard a click next to him. He turned around and found that his soldier was now facing away from him, but his face was full of fear and he was looking towards him. Hilde easily broke his neck, then grabbed the officer's helmet and took it off.
Hilde was now unsure whether the other party was a hunter.
But most importantly…
He can provide me with very important information.
Because of this, Hilde did not intend to kill him directly, but went around the man's back, then opened his mouth and bit through the man's neck with his sharp teeth. A large amount of blood poured into Hilde's mouth, but at the same time, the powerful spell also entered the man's body through the blood-sucking behavior. The man's whole body seemed to be stretched straight, and the resistance just now disappeared in an instant, only his hands and feet were trembling slightly.
