Chapter 5 3. Sir, the barbarian is here, we have to leave

"Rand, you need to decide as soon as possible whether we will leave the territory." Roll said, looking at Rand, waiting for Rand's decision.

Lant is now confused, "Where are we going?"

"Of course it's going to the Maned Wolf City or the forest to the west," Roll said, "You need to make a decision before dawn!"

"Ah, what's going on?" Rant really didn't understand.

"Rol, Rant just woke up and heard so much knowledge. You need to explain it to him before you make a decision." Albert said a little blaming.

"Rant is like this. I just said that as a lord, you need to defend your territory and protect your people. Now the barbarians have reached the Kornico Pass, which is only a day away from us.

Although they don’t know when they will come, they will definitely not just come to rob. Once they come here, even our Baron Castle will not be able to withstand the attack of the barbarians. If we did not place the governors well at that time, resulting in large numbers being robbed by the governors, the territory of the galloping horse baron will be really over, and the baron rank of the entire galloping horse family will be taken back."

Boyat glanced at Roll, "Roll and I thought of two routes, and you need to decide. First, go east. The Blue Magpie Baron Corner east of Rot is the direct territory of the Maned Wolf Earl family. It is only 1 or 2 days away from the Maned Wolf City. As long as we reach the Blue Magpie, we will be protected by the Earl's Maned Wolf Knights.

The second type is the traditional route of the Racing Horse family. You don’t have to worry about escaping west into the Great Forest. Whether it is the Racing Horse Leader or the Rotte Leader, you have entered the Great Forest many times in the past decade. There are several camps deep in the forest for long-term garage.

The vanguards of the barbarians were mainly barbarian cavalry, with tall people and large horses, and they were unable to move in the forest. If their army dared to enter the forest territory to search, the complex terrain would not help them transport supplies from a large number of pack beasts. Therefore, the barbarians never asked for trouble and entered the forest."

Well, OK. It is really difficult to choose to live under someone else’s roof. “I want to hear your suggestions.”

"I suggest going to Roth first, and then the Blue Magpie Corps," said Rohl, "This year's barbarian power has obviously exceeded previous years. In the end, it is likely that the Earl personally took action to expel these barbarians. If we go to the Earl's territory, we can know the situation in the territory faster, and let the Earl know earlier that even if Baron Hack leaves temporarily, there will be someone leading the galloping horse territory even if the Earl is gone.

We have a Count’s Maned Wolf City in 4 or 5 days, and there will be no mistakes in it.”

"I think we should enter the forest more. This forest is full of magic and rich in resources. In the past, the family has entered the forest for refuge many times in history, and has successfully avoided the invasion of the barbarians." Albert emphasized.

"Many times?" Rand said, "

"Yes, the most recent one was eight years ago, and the barbarians also had a large-scale invasion. At that time, the Lord of Roth, Viscount Bob Roth, asked Hack to take care of the people on his behalf. Hack took all the people of the two territories to take refuge in the Great Forest.

At that time, you were young and had just shown some potential to embrace demons, so Hack sent you to the Maned Wolf City and asked you to follow your third brother to hide in the temple there."

Rant recalled that when he was just 8 or 9 years ago, he did go out with his third brother for a long journey, but he didn't remember that he had really entered the city. He just felt that he had arrived in a monastery. After hearing the reasons of the two important officials, Rant asked casually, "Rol, Viscount Roth is only 1 day away from us, and Maned Wolf City is only 3 days away?"

"Of course!" Roll was very sure

"How did you get through?"

"Riding a horse! Is there any problem?"

At this time, Albert also recalled, "You are the most powerful intermediate knight in the territory. You rode the best horse on the plains of the galloping horses. It took 4 days to arrive at the Earl City. But we moved the people, all of them were pack beasts and carriages. It would be nice to walk 2 or 30 miles a day. How could it take only 3 days to arrive?"

"But that's just one or two more days"

"No, you ride a horse. Unless someone waits specifically, people will rarely notice you. There are hundreds of people in our territory, and there are only a dozen demon-bearers in a huge team. If the barbarians see it, who will you rob?" Rand added, "But more importantly, you are both witnesses of the past two days. Don't you think we have met the past two days too coincidental?"

"What?" Neither Roll nor Albert had thought about this level.

"Think about it, whether it is my father or Viscount Rot, they often go to and from the Cornico Pass. You two have experience in entering the Pass for business. The Pass is more than 20 kilometers, and there are also continuous hills and water networks in the north of the Pass.

Whether we were in the Rot territory, only 10 people were dispatched, while a barbarian tribe often had only 8 or 9 cavalry, and more than 20 more. The ambush we encountered was equivalent to a medium-sized tribe bringing all its troops out to deal with us.

I want to ask, if you two are lords or tribe leaders, under what circumstances will you be willing to take out all the combat power in your territory and make a desperate bet?"

"Of course it was when the information was very certain." Albert understood what Rand meant. "You mean, we were betrayed by Viscount Roth?"

"This is not possible. If the count knew about this, Viscount Roth would be over," said Rohl.

Although mutual intrigue between nobles is not uncommon, internal and external are two concepts. Especially the Dragon Kingdom where the barbarians on the Racing Horse Plain are the main opponents. Cooperating with the barbarians to attack other nobles is treason. Once discovered, the title will be eliminated, the territory will be cut off or taken back to the throne.

So in the past, no nobles would use barbarians to deal with other nobles, and they believed that Roll and Albert did not think about it.

But Rant doesn't think so. After all, he just came today and had no idea about the tradition of the kingdom. However, he had watched many TV series and played many games before, so this simple judgment is still easy to find a basis.

The simplest point is that when Viscount Roth separated from Hak and others, Hak had gone to the nearby hillside to investigate, and there were no barbarian camps within dozens of miles. Therefore, they were not so ambushed by barbarians, but rather were they found by a large barbarian.

If Viscount Rot did not betray them, how could the barbarians come from dozens of kilometers away?

"There is nothing impossible. Now I have a good reason to distrust Viscount Rot. I will not place my hope of protecting the people on him. Two, I decided that all the hierarchies of the entire territory will move westward to the forest for refuge tomorrow." One hour after Rant officially became the Baron (agent), he made a decision to follow his ancestors and quickly slipped away.

"Yes" Roll and Albert leaned over to receive the order.

"Uncle Albert, please organize all the direct corpses in the Baron's territory to prepare for migration. Knight Roll, I want you to send the power of the territory to inform the surrounding two knight leaders to move, so that they can enter the forest directly, and do not use the Baron's Castle to meet.

In addition, some reconnaissance forces are needed. On the small hill 10 kilometers north, you can see the Cornico Pass from a distance, and send someone to stare there!"

"Yes" the two of them took the order again

His deep Albert looked at the commands made by Rand and felt that Rand was growing very fast, and said, "Rand, don't worry too much. For the barbarians, entering the south of the mountain pass is also a big move. They need to wade through several tributaries of the Racing Horse River. We still have time.

In addition, there are no valuable items in the territory castle. All valuable potions, magic plants, books, weapons, and gold coins are packed and you can leave at any time.

The belts of the people in the house are mainly food, but we have purchased a lot of pack animals in recent years and there are many carriages. The real preparations will be very fast." The pack animals mentioned by Albert are a kind of livestock with a half-cow and half-horse. This kind of livestock has a gentle temperament, a wide back, and is easy to reproduce.

Whether it is the barbarian, orc or human race, they like to use this kind of pack beast during long-distance crawling.

"Well, that's great." Rand smiled. Our hometown is really self-conscious and is ready to run away every day.

But thinking of this, Rand suddenly realized why I was lying in front of the bonfire in the wilderness?

Shouldn't I be in my Baron Castle? So I glanced at Albert, "Uncle Albert, it's so late now, should we go back to the castle?"

"..." Everyone was silent again, until Albert smiled dryly, "Lant, you forgot, before we set off, your father was afraid that the territory would be harassed by a small group of barbarians, so he put all the food stored in the warehouse and the goods after the last time to trade on the first floor of the castle. Now the first floor of the castle is full, and we have no place to raise our feet when we go back."

"Rant, have you forgotten? At that time, we moved a few tons of grain in," Roll added

"...Oh oh yes, I remembered it. We just happened to bring all the food into the car tomorrow and then we can set off." Rant smiled, but in his heart, "Am I really a nobleman? I am a warehouse at home, and the extraordinary porter, and the barbarians rushed to themselves."

What a broken place, it's all a bad thing. Otherwise, I'll try it again tonight, will I close my eyes and kick my legs and go back?

.........

Lant, who lay down again and closed his eyes, did not fall asleep immediately, and naturally could not return to the place before the dream began. Because he found that he could feel a large number of light spots around him moving irregularly, and these light spots did not affect Lant's rest, or that kind of light spots were just some signal or some energy. Lant tried hard to make these light spots produce some pattern, but unfortunately, after a long period of time, they failed.

Finally, Rand tried to breathe in his dantian and concentrate all the energy that could obey him. After another 10 minutes, it condensed about a steel-sized energy. It dispersed after less than 20 seconds. After it dispersed, Rand's stomach made a protest sound. The body of the demon-bearer was big, and the sound also sounded after he was hungry, which made Rand feel embarrassed and embarrassed to open his eyes.

"Rante? Rant?" A familiar voice rang in my ears. Nira, Rant's sister. Rant's biological mother left early. Before she was 14 years old, Nira was taking care of her. Even if the blood of the demon-bearer was stimulated, Nira was taking care of her main daily life.

Rant opened his eyes embarrassedly and saw Nila bringing a lot of food, including jerky, scones and hot soup. "How can you sleep when you are hungry? You are now a junior knight, and you have a bigger appetite. Eat more to replenish your body."

"Nira, wait a moment." At this time, Roll came over with a bunch of jerky meat. "Your food can be full, but it cannot help Rand's body." After that, Roll handed the jerky meat on his hand to Rand.

"This is the jerky meat of the low-level monster Fenglang. I exchanged it with the barbarians when I was in the business last time. You can eat this.

Only when a knight eats more monster meat can he truly grow up."

To be precise, whether it is a knight, a mage or a clergy, promotion and breakthrough are a temporary qualitative change, and long-term quantitative change accumulation. The total amount of magic and fighting spirit in the body is proportional to the quality and volume of the body. If you want to grow up, you have to eat, and there are essential differences between things.

Ordinary grains and meat, of course, carry nutrients, so they can replenish the body's consumption. However, monster meat and even potions can provide magic more efficiently, allowing demon-bearers to accumulate and grow faster.

Rant looked at the jerky meat on Roll's hand, remembering that it was half a year ago, after Huck and Roll went out to hunt, Huck distributed part of the monster meat he had harvested to Roll.

Unexpectedly, Roll was reluctant to eat one of them and made bacon. Although he didn't know how much magic the marinated meat could store, his eyes couldn't move away when he saw the monster meat, and his eyes were filled with words such as "I'm hungry" and "I want to eat". Rant felt a little embarrassed. After all, he was the lord now, and even the agent should not compete with his subordinates for food.

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

After eating the late-night snack of Warcraft meat, Rand continued to sleep without a dream all night.

At dawn, Rand woke up with some regrets and couldn't go back. Soon he knew that he had indeed traveled to a completely different planet, because two suns, one big and one small, rose one after another.

The huge sun is Raya, which is a light blue star, like a light blue fireball, occupying most of the area in the sky. When the star took off, Rand felt that the temperature and brightness around him did not increase more, but some invisible energy became more restless.

"That's the magic element," Abert introduced, "Most of the magic elements come from the gifts of Raya. When Raya rises, the magic elements on the entire ground will be more abundant, but we are close to the Running Horse Plain, and the magic elements here will be even more chaotic."

Soon another sun also rose into the sky, and this star was Di Yang. It is said that the name of Di Yang Xing came from a very ancient civilization. Now all races have the same names as the main stars in the starry sky at every moment.

Di Yangxing is smaller than the sun seen on Earth, but it is very bright. Di Yang's rise quickly increased the ground temperature.

With the beginning of the new day, the migration work of leading people gradually began. Now, including Rand and others, there are not many demon-supporters. Roll sent a demon-supporter to send messages to the two knight territories, and sent one person to the hillside 10 kilometers away for monitoring.

Rand, Roll and Albert took other demon-bearers as Libas to transport food into the castle.

As a power-oriented talent, the demon-bearer is really good when he is a porter. With more than 100 kilograms of grain, Rand is extremely relaxed when he picks up. Rand also tried the Qiyun Dantian during the transportation process, trying to make the Dou Qi flow in his body.

Roll saw Rand and said, "This is not how fighting spirit is trained. Rand's total fighting spirit is too small now. If he often concentrates fighting spirit and cannot replenish the monster meat in time, it will only make him lose energy for a long time, which will be detrimental to growth.

After all, Roll is an intermediate knight, and what he said is very instructive. Rand gave up moving and moving, and focused on his work. Just when everyone was halfway through, someone suddenly came to report that someone came back from the Running Horse Plain. It was the junior knight Walker who set out with Hack and the others.

Thanks @ASLZRO I wonder what my sister is doing, I voted for the recommendation vote
