章 53: Chapter 53 Lady Warrior

Aldred walked to the forest beside Mira. Bartrem led the army ahead while Joseph and Jeffery marched beside him.

"Why are we entering the forest?" Aldred asked.

Bartrem smiled. "Remember how we captured the nun?"

"Yes. I did."

"Well, we kept their horses in this forest in secret." Bartrem laughed.

"That is smart."

"You have to play it smart on this playing field. One wrong move and that could be the end."

Aldred nodded as they walked further. Soon after, they saw horses tied to the trees. A group of soldiers was grooming them and feeding them with grain.

"I forgot to say this, but we asked Bernard for some of the grain. At first, he hesitated to give them to us, until we mentioned your name. Sorry for not telling you, Aldred."

"I am fine. But I don't think we can do this a lot. If the others found out, Bernard's life would be endangered."

"I know. The other farmers know as well."

"They all share the grain?"
