At night, more than 400 people passed the Cornico Pass with open fire, trying not to be discovered by the lookout post of Roth Castle, unless the lookout was blind.
The barbarian left in charge of the castle now is Touyan's other brother Yan Ling, who is guarding the castle with 50 barbarian cavalry.
Touyan left a large number of cavalry in the castle to guard the 70 to 80 demon-supporters who had been plundered from all over the castle, including the former territory of Viscount Lot.
According to the tradition on the grassland, two human demon holders need at least one barbarian cavalry to guard them. This is even if they are in the grassland and are not afraid of the human demon holders escaping. Now Yan Ling is in the human castle, and the human race is far better than him. She is more familiar with various facilities in the castle, so Yan Ling lives very carefully every day.
No matter how the Gray Goose Tribe publicizes its victory, Yan Ling knows that his tribe is at the end of its strength, and the food brought by the tribe when it went south can no longer sustain it for much longer; although the battle with the Maned Wolf Knights severely damaged the Maned Wolf The earl did not damage the knights; even the vassals of the earl who were besieged by their own large forces survived because of the sudden attack of a senior dragon-born mage.
Now the Gray Goose tribe and Blue Bird City have begun to stalemate again, but the multiple raiding teams sent by Touyan are constantly intercepted and killed by the General Wolf Knights. Now the barbarian fighting force under Blue Bird Castle is less than 200 people, and the 50 people around him are The number one is already the last reserve team of Touyan.
"Is this worth it?" Yan Ling has been asking himself these days. If he could just close the few human territories he had won at that time, why would he be like this today?
"Lord Yan Ling," a barbarian from outside ran in and reported, "New reinforcements have arrived, many, many people!"
"What?" Touyan and Yanling have been trying to find ways to ask for reinforcements from the Benma Plain, but there have been very few new reinforcements since October. Yanling can't imagine how many people there can be.
From the observation deck of Lot Castle, looking to the north, more than 400 cavalrymen marched lightly under the moonlight, their black-scaled horses sweeping across the earth like a black storm.
Even during the alliance, Yan Ling had never seen 400 riders dispatched at the same time. For a while, Yan Ling even guessed that a new tribe had risen on the grassland to replace Gray Yan.
Fortunately, Yan Ling was keenly aware of a man wearing a priest's robe and a mask, because in the team, the entire tribe knew that this man was the disciple of the old priest.
"It's the team summoned by the old priest!" Yan Ling shouted, "God bless the Gray Goose tribe, hurry up... hurry up and open the door to welcome the old priest!"
. . . .
"The castle door is open in front? Come on, let's move forward quickly, so as not to let down the good intentions of the Gray Goose Tribe."
Lant didn't think that the castle's defenders would ignore him, and he didn't think that after seeing a team of 400 people coming, the castle's defenders would really open the door to greet him, so Lant once again used tricks to let Wendy wear it. He wore the robe of the priest's apprentice before, but he put on the attire of the Eagle Priest, and he really overwhelmed the defenders.
The outermost gate of the castle slowly opened. Yan Ling had already come out with his guards to greet them. From a distance, he saw the old priest's apprentice and another man dressed as a priest getting off their horses and walking directly towards the castle.
Yan Ling thought about it for a moment, and finally remembered that the man wearing the eagle-head mask was the famous Eagle Priest in the plains. This priest had clearly rejected Tou Yan before, but now that he came, he could only meet the old priest in person. The result sought.
"Two priests? Did the old priest ask you to come?"
"Yes, the old priest heard that Touyan won the battle, but needed more support, so he asked us to come." The two men stepped forward and pointed to the dozens of people behind them, "These are the small and medium-sized people we have seen since we went south. Tribal leader"
"Then come in quickly." Yan Ling personally welcomed Lant, Wendy, 6 intermediate knights and more than 20 junior knights into Lot Castle.
A very similar scene occurred in Roth Castle on November 27, 996, and on the night of September 30. An hour later, Touyan's reserve team had been wiped out before his main force.
After cleaning up all the wreckage, Lant inspected the entire castle. As usual, the most important thing was to count the black scale horses and search for the plundered human demon embracers.
Since there were 50 cavalry stationed in the castle, and many ownerless black-scale horses were also moved outside Lot Castle, Lant once again obtained 70 black-scale horses, and his number of cavalry that could be mobilized also increased. 470 people arrived.
In the castle, Lant saw 50 demon-lovers who had been plundered here by the barbarians. Lant announced on the spot that he would escort them back to the territory after the war, and invited the reserve knights among them to join the Galloping Horse Knights, and for Wash away the shame yourself.
After handling everything, Lant met the illegitimate son of Viscount Lot, who was abandoned by his family, humiliated by the barbarians, and rejected by the earl. He did not die under the earl's sword. The earl's castle was even afraid of being stained by him, so he only After being able to return to Gray Goose's camp, he was sent back to Lot Castle.
When Lant was a child, he heard about Viscount Roth's illegitimate child. This was something Huck told his closest sons as family secrets.
It is said that the mother of the illegitimate child is a demon-wielding woman from a large family. She met Viscount Bob Roth in Dragon Tooth City. However, because she felt that Viscount Roth's status was low, she only gave the child to the Viscount's territory to be raised after the birth. Even Viscount Roth remained silent about the mother of his illegitimate son.
Rant doesn't care about the illegitimate child's past, and doesn't think the illegitimate child needs to be responsible for what happened to the Harker family.
"What are your plans for the future?" Lant thought for a while and decided to send the smuggler to have a child. After all, this was not Lant's blood relative.
"You want to drive me away?" The bastard looked at Lant in confusion.
"I heard some rumors about you from others here. I think you may not be suitable to live in the Northwest Territories. I can give you a sum of money to leave here and live a new life." Lant looked at the illegitimate son and said, Tell him what you think.
“I can’t survive outside the Northwest Territories.”
"You can follow me to the Galloping Horse Plains in the future, or you can take money from other territories in the Kingdom, it depends on what you think," Lant said.
The illegitimate son left, and he did not tell Lant that he could open the underground warehouse before leaving.
However, Lant has a more professional warehouse opening team. As soon as the illegitimate child exited the room where Lant was, he saw Wendy, who was about the same height as him, enter the room, and then heard the words, "The teacher has opened the underground warehouse. In addition, I also found a hidden room and the teacher is trying to figure it out."
Lant didn't know how shocked the illegitimate child outside the room was at this moment, but followed Wendy down to the warehouse and saw the 34,000 gold coins and 300 magic crystals saved by Viscount Roth.
Now that Rand has seen the world, he won't drool after seeing such money. The funds left by the Viscount directly doubled Rand's wallet.
In another hidden room, there are accounts left by Viscount Bob over the years of doing business and doing business. These accounts are so detailed that Lant believes that if handed over to the front secretary, it might lead to a murder in the Dragon Kingdom.
