"Lord Earl? How about we find someone to go down and negotiate with them? Judging from the appearance of the other party, they look more like they are here for Gray Goose."
"..." The count said nothing because he didn't want the most suitable candidate, his eldest son Fernando, to go down to negotiate.
"I think Lord Gant is right, I am willing to go down."
Everyone turned their heads, surprised to see the dragon girl actually expressing her stance.
"Then... then there's Ms. Laguria."
Then everyone was even more surprised to find that the old maned wolf actually agreed to let the only woman in the entire castle go out to negotiate.
Lant took the flag that made the northwest nobles fearful and circled his army several times, fully enjoying the joy of the winner.
However, Lant was a little strange. He had destroyed the main force of the Gray Goose tribe with the galloping horse flag. Why was there no movement at all in Blue Magpie City and so many people above were watching, so he was not allowed to enter the castle to sit there?
In doubt, Lant began to ask the intermediate knights to form a team. Each squadron returned to its original square formation 800 meters outside the main entrance of the castle. He handed the flag to Rohr and took Rohr with him. Under the Blue Magpie City.
In Lant's concept, if the army wins outside, it will naturally have to review the whole team before returning to the city to show victory to the king.
But in the eyes of the nobles on the city wall, this means that the army below is preparing to make persistent efforts and directly capture the Blue Magpie.
"They killed 7 or 80 people in one go. Aren't they going to take a night's rest?" Viscount Elk muttered to himself this time. As long as they were given one night, he estimated that the count would lead them to retreat to the Maned Wolf City.
"Is it because we just finished the sacrifice?" Kevin added, but received no response or criticism.
"The leader of Gray Goose has been consecrated, open the door quickly!" Lant and Rohr arrived at the city and opened the door very happily.
"Aren't you even going to fight? Should we go through the motions? Resist a little bit." But what Kevin was thinking was that if everyone felt that there was no need to resist, then forget it.
"Open the door quickly! The leader of Gray Goose has been decapitated!" Lant continued to shout, but saw that the nobles on the city wall were indifferent and stared at him.
"Clatter" sounded the sound of the iron chain connecting the gate of the castle.
"You really don't want to fight anymore? The count doesn't want to resist?"
"Shut up!"
The castle in front of Lant finally opened the door, and a tall woman walked out of the city gate. Judging from her face, the woman should be less than 20 years old, but at 3 meters tall, she could not be considered a girl. She had brown-red hair and golden hair. It has lizard eyes, curved horns on its head, and a huge tail behind it.
"Dragon Lady," Lant was extremely excited. He had been in a different world for so long and had never seen any creatures other than humans. He only heard about orcs, elves and magical fairies. Now he had seen a living alien race.
Gu Leiya had just heard Lant announce his family name before fighting Touyan, and guessed that the person in front of him might be the fourth son of the Galloping Horse family who was rumored to be fleeing with his people. However, now even Huck himself could not recognize the person in front of him. Naturally, Gu Leiya didn't dare to make a fuss.
Gulea walked up to Lant holding a scroll with a 5-point explosive fireball and a magic sword that summoned her legendary father.
"Who is your Excellency? What do you want when you come to the Blue Magpie Castle?" Gu Leiya asked calmly.
"Ah?" Lant was stunned when asked. Can't you recognize such a big galloping horse flag? When I just killed Touyan, did you change the channel and watch the commercial or something?
"I am Lant Galloping, acting baron of Galloping Barony in the Northwestern Earldom. My father Huck Galloping and my two brothers Ryan Galloping and Obote Galloping are at Cornico Pass. To the north, they were ambushed by Gray Goose and Viscount Roth, and their lives and deaths were unknown. I led the people in my territory to search northward to no avail, so I had to gather my men and return to the northwest territories to avenge them."
You, an acting baron, have gathered 500 cavalry? The people you mentioned are all watching you upstairs now. What kind of revenge do you want? Gu Leiya couldn't help but feel strange, but whether it was true or not, the leader in front of her really had no intention of attacking.
"I understand. I will tell the Earl. Please wait here for a moment." Gu Leiya said and returned to the castle.
The gate of the castle was lowered again, and Gulea and the nobles on the castle breathed a sigh of relief.
Although only a few people heard Lant announce his family name, they heard the name "Lant Galloping Horse", and many people secretly looked at Huck and his two sons.
"Old man, tell the truth, is that down there your team?" Viscount Gant secretly asked Huck.
"They are all from my family. All the barbarians in the Galloping Horse Plain are my family's team. Are you satisfied?" Huck actually heard the man below claiming to be his fourth son, but this man was riding a magic beast and was covered in magic patterns. equipment, with hundreds of cavalry behind them.
If the old Benma family was really powerful, they would have been granted the title of earl long ago. Why would they hide here with you for a month?
"Lant? Is that you?" In the silence, Obote stretched out the city wall and shouted.
Lant heard someone calling him, looked up and saw that it was his second brother. He didn't expect that the relative he had been looking for for two months was actually on the Blue Magpie Castle.
"Obot, hi~, it's me," Rand shouted twice, then realized that he was wearing a helmet. The person on the other side probably couldn't recognize him, so he took off his helmet and waved to Obote.
The last time Huck, Ryan and Obote saw Lant was on September 16, when Lant was still an apprentice knight.
Two and a half months later, on November 30, when they saw Lant again, Lant was already an intermediate knight. After breaking through two levels in succession, Lant's height had grown by almost 40 centimeters, and his face and body had grown. , even relatives are not easy to identify.
"Is he really the fourth son of the Benma family?"
"Oh my God, Benma's family really has an army of 500 people?"
"Your Majesty the God Emperor, where did these people come from?"
The nobles on the city walls and terraces finally heard that the person outside the city was indeed the fourth son of the Benma family. Everyone was curious about where the fourth son of the baron found so many troops and how he could become a knight apprentice. Captain of 500 cavalrymen.
"Get out of the way, the count is coming."
Earl Maned Wolf came to the city gate surrounded by Gu Leiya and several senior professionals.
Having just listened to Gu Leiya's report, the earl was surprised and happy. If it was really the fourth son of Lant, then all the crises would be solved. The vassals of his Maned Wolf family had completely solved the largest barbarian invasion in decades. The forces of the Dragon Kingdom and Empire will have no reason to interfere in his territorial affairs.
The earl also has a hidden worry. If it is really a child of the Benma family, there are at least 5,000 demon-free people behind the 500 demon-supporters. According to the tradition of the human empire, this number of citizens is enough to entrust the earl. Now he can only look at Lan A very specific level.
The earl had fought against Touyan several times before, and he felt that Touyan's level was not lower than that of a high-level knight. If Lant could gain the upper hand in a duel with him, he must be not lower than that of an intermediate knight.
How big an appetite does the fourth baron in the city have? Can a viscount buy it off?
In constant calculation and expectation, the count reached the city wall closest to Lant.
"Is this person coming, Lant Galloping Horse?" Fernando Maned Wolf called out for the Count.
"It's me, who's the count? I want to report to the count."
"Fernando?" A voice suddenly called from behind, "Fernando, it's me, Peter!"
When Peter saw his cousin arriving at the gate of the city, he ran over, and with him was the ascetic Leiter Dorainer.
"That's... cousin Pete?" Fernando was very surprised when he saw Pete.
"I'm afraid not only your cousin, but also Wright," added Burt Call.
"Could it be that this kid took down the barbarian's salt mine?"
"So he really brought over all the barbarians and humans from the entire plain?"
From everyone's guesses, the earl probably knew the truth. Now that he was sure that the person below was indeed one of his own, it would be easy to handle.
"Hurry up and open the door to welcome Lant in," the earl said. "Lant, the castle is small. Do you want your people to go back to the camp first?"
"Okay~" Lant said to Rohr next to him, "Lot, the Galloping Horse Knights are closing down!"
"Yes!" Rohr rode back after receiving the order. Amidst the sound of the horn, more than 600 cavalrymen left with the vacated black scale horses and returned to Rotor Castle.
The nobles on the city walls and terraces finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the army below was indeed not here to attack Blue Magpie Castle.
