Chapter 18 16. New goals

"Dear knights and citizens," before the bonfire dinner, Lant once again called everyone to speak. "After our nearly 10 days of trekking and hard work, we are finally out of danger. We can even say that our territory has

A whole new development!”

"Thank you Lord Lant!" "Thank you Lord Lord!" The citizens smelled the fragrant mutton, and of course they knew who brought it.

"I know that we are still on the Galloping Horse Plains, and we are still facing the threat of barbarians.

But now the situation is completely different. We have just proved that we can not only survive on the Galloping Horse Plains, but also defeat the barbarians!" Lant was also very excited at this moment.

"good"

"People! We have the protection of the God of Knights and Magicians. I will lead you out of this grassland and back to the Galloping Horse Territory;

I will find my father and brothers, and bring back our galloping Baron;

We will eventually become the masters of the Benma Plain and restore the glory of our ancestors’ Benma Kingdom!”

"For the glory of Galloping Horse Kingdom!" Several knights took the lead to heighten the atmosphere.

"For the galloping horses, for the galloping horses!" the citizens cheered again.

Looking at the cheering crowd in front of him, Lant even felt that his own power had strengthened. That power seemed to be strengthened in his soul and his fighting spirit by all the citizens and knights.

The citizens kept repeating this, and even after entering the subsequent meal session, demon-loving or demon-free citizens continued to come to Lant to pay their respects.

"Lant? Come here." During the meal, Albert specially called Lant to the main tent.

"Uncle, what's the matter?" Lant was a little confused.

"You just said you were going to save Huck and Ryan?" Albert asked.

"Of course, I guess that once they are captured, they should be in a certain tribe in the Galloping Horse Plains."

"They are probably in the salt mines. The barbarians need demon lords to mine the salt mines."

"I know this. This is my analysis. My father and the others may be in three places. The first is the camp where the barbarians went south, the second is the small tribe on the plains, and the third is the salt mine.

First of all, we can exclude the camps going south, so that my father and the others can easily escape. The barbarians will not let my father run away, so the best way is not to let him go south, but to go north.

The second is the salt mine. According to our previous inquiry, if the Gray Goose Tribe wants to transport human demons to the salt mine, they need to hire a barbarian priest to help escort them.

However, there are very few barbarian priests, and there are few priests in the entire south of Benma River. Gray Goose will definitely gather the existing priests to assist them in their southward sweep.

So their best choice now is to send my father and two brothers to some relatively large tribes on the plains to take care of them, so that even if my father can escape, he will not be able to get back to the Dragon Kingdom in time."

"..." Albert was silent for a long time. It was obvious that Lant had fully considered all the possibilities and then analyzed them one by one.

Even Albert himself could not provide any more suggestions or possibilities. At this moment, Albert even doubted whether there was a blood relationship between Lant and Huck. Huck was indeed a little clever, but he had never shown such an analysis.

ability

"You are right. From this point of view, Huck and the others are most likely in a camp south of the Benma River."

"Yes, I think if we do our reconnaissance properly, we have a chance to defeat the tribe with about 10 cavalry left behind. We can sweep eastward along the Benma River. If there are casualties, we can return to the west. At worst, we can go back through the original river.

To the Galloping Horse Barony." Lant has already made a plan.

"Okay, I will discuss your decision with a few knights."

.............

On the night of September 30, 996, the subjects of Lant and the Galloping Horse Barony were enjoying the celebration after their victory, while a hundred kilometers away to the east, several knights were enjoying a short rest after escaping.

"Father, what should we do now?" The speaker was none other than Ryan Galloping Horse, Lant's eldest brother, the eldest son of the Galloping Horse Baron and the future baron.

"What else can we do, of course, go south and return to the Dragon Kingdom," said Baron Huck Galloping Horse. At this moment, they had just escaped from a large barbarian camp.

"Father, you were so powerful just now. I didn't expect you to be able to use fighting spirit here!" Lant's second brother, Obote, was younger and was still thinking about the battle just now.

"This is an ancient and expensive technique. It was discovered by the former galloping royal family in hundreds of years of battles. Every time it is used, magic crystals are consumed. It can be said to be a krypton crystal tactic." Huck was a little helpless.

The two magic crystals in his underwear were his trump cards. He didn't use them even in the battle when he was captured. Now, he used them all in order to escape.

Although they now have two horses to ride, they really have no trump card.

"Father, what do you think is going on in the territory now? Are Lant and Albert okay? Has Walker gone back?" Ryan is the heir to the territory, so naturally he is very concerned about his future.

"We still have two days to go, don't think about these useless things. This time we were betrayed by that bastard Bob Rotter, which put the territory in danger.

As long as I can see the Earl, I believe he will not let the Galloping Horse Barony be revoked!" Huck said firmly, but he was unsure after all.

"Really?" Now even Obote is starting to care about the territory.

"Of course, you have to believe Albert. Once he returns to his territory, he will take everyone to the big forest.

We had made preparations before setting off. We could enter the forest in less than a day. I didn’t take Luo Er and Tie Zhui with them at that time just to retain some strength." Tie Zhui is another feudal knight in the territory, and his son is also a reserve knight.

.

Suddenly, the three father and son fell into silence. At this moment, the three people's hearts were on the territory. However, they knew that they had to rush to the Blue Magpie Castle and join the count's knights. They could only make meritorious deeds in the battle against the barbarians.

, in order to offset the possible crisis of withdrawal.

With three bright moons above, the father and his son were riding black horses, galloping towards the mountain pass in the south.

.............

In the lord's room in Lotland Castle, the leader of Gray Goose sat on the lord's bed with a golden sword. There were several women under him. They were all concubines of Bob's former lord and his son, as well as blood relatives of Bob's illegitimate son.

, these women were tortured by the Gray Goose leader in front of their illegitimate children all afternoon, and now they have no strength to move.

Now the leader of Gray Goose is looking at the bastard on the wall opposite the bed with great interest. The bastard at this moment has been beaten by the barbarian warriors all afternoon and has no strength to roar.

"How about it? Have you considered it clearly? How to open the magic circle in the secret room in the cellar? As long as you tell me, you and they will not have to suffer this fate."

The leader of Gray Goose walked up to the bastard, looked at him jokingly, and whispered in his ear like a devil.

At this moment, the illegitimate son really wanted to use all his strength to die with this barbarian man who was half a meter taller than himself. However, at this moment, all he could see was his sister lying on the ground who had taken care of him for more than ten years.

Twenty minutes later, the Gray Goose leader and the high priest finally opened the door to the castle's basement storage room.

Every powerful noble family will build a magic storage room underground in the castle. The operation principle is very similar to the magic sealing box, but the magic circle used requires dozens of magic circles.

Of course, the function of the room is to store magic items, and it can also prevent fire and theft.

Nobles usually choose a demon-wisher of the same clan as the person in charge of the storage room, and Bob's illegitimate son is such a person.

A standard gold coin box of the Church of Fortune (a branch of the Temple Alliance) can store 1,000 gold coins, a gold coin box can store 10,000 gold coins, and a magic crystal storage box can store 100 magic crystals. Now in front of the leader, there are 3 gold coins.

The box contains 4 gold coin boxes and 3 magic crystal boxes.

In addition, there are dozens of magic pattern boards and various magic props, enchanted weapons, magic scrolls, magic slates, magic books, etc. Even the leader of Gray Goose, who has been wealthy in recent years, was also attracted by this golden and sparkling scene.

Dazzled.

"Is this... the wealth of a human viscount?" The high priest was shocked and speechless.

"No, this is the proceeds from the black-scaled horse sales of our tribe over the past few years, and this liar actually withheld so much!" The leader of Gray Goose looked at the wealth and kept drooling. He decided to use words to make robbing the wealth a reality.

It's more logical.

Of course, a viscount cannot afford 37,000 gold coins. In fact, most of the gold coins here are deposits from various families in the royal capital for ordering black-scale horses from Lot. Several nearby territories also have deposits for purchasing salt and pig iron from Lot.

A noble placed a deposit for enchanted iron armor.

In the coming winter, Viscount Bob will rely on this money to purchase a large amount of food, rune boards and alchemy items to deliver to the Galloping Horse Plains in the spring.

Of course, the current Gray Goose leader obviously doesn't know the difference between cost and profit, and even if he knew, he would still keep the wealth for himself.

"Then what do we do with the money?"

"Let's put it here first. You don't know about our group of cavalry. Who can resist such a temptation?" The leader of Gray Goose knows his own people well.

"You still want that illegitimate son to take care of you?"

"Of course, who else can open this door?"

"What about those women?"

"Give it back to him. We have already promised him to bring the girl he cares about most with us, and leave a few people here to keep an eye on him."

"But this person knows too many things." The high priest was not at ease.

"My high priest, we are not here to grab this vote and leave this time. We will get many people like him in the future. We must give them something to look forward to." The leader of Gray Goose did not understand how rich the Viscount was, but he

Know human nature.

"You're right"

"Let the cavalry outside stop being idle and immediately go to the various knight territories along the border of Lot's territory. Now they only have demon holders and no knights. We don't need to make a special trip."

"OK"

............

On the night of September 30, 996, the Emperor of God, the order from the leader of the Gray Goose was passed to dozens of barbarian cavalry. These cavalry will go to the various knights in the Lot territory early the next morning.

Like a storeroom with an open door, waiting for the arrival of the Gray Goose Tribe.

Under the dim moonlight, in many residences in the small town of Roth Territory, many demon-free people were ready to make a move. They knew that the barbarians were having a carnival in the castle, and now was the best time for them to leave and bring news to the master's house. Many of them

The people quietly swam eastwards across the boundary river, heading towards Maned Wolf City, Elk Territory and even Dragon Tooth City.
