At noon on May 6th, Lant and Tenia left the territory to the west. In the morning, Lant went to the water purification plant in the east of the city. With the joint efforts of the algae fairies and grass fairies, they finally Algae that can grow in sewage ponds and reeds that grow on the shore have been cultivated. The sewage that has been sedimented and purified many times before being discharged into the river can completely survive the weakest fish in the river.
After successfully completing the mission, the algae goblin was rearranged to return to the fish pond of Roth Castle, where he continued to cultivate magic algae.
Lant and Tenia drove all the way, passing the West 4th Station in the afternoon, and arrived at the West 5th position before the knights arrived. Then Tenia controlled magic to build castles and watchtowers to ensure that the knights and signal squads came over. There is a place for people.
The next night, Lant participated in a joint training with the Knights. He and Dugan led 300 knights in a wall-mounted charge, which was like an overwhelming force.
With the addition of two high-level knights and mid-level monsters, the entire knights are like a torch, lighting up all obstacles ahead.
"To be honest, your knights look very beautiful, but I guess I won't use them." Tania kept analyzing next to Lant at night.
"Why?" Lant was a little confused,
"Maybe the brown bear barbarians will defend the iron mines?"
"Then your biggest opponents are also their high-level leaders, not ordinary barbarians." Lant knew that Tania was right, but on the other hand, his knights had not trained together for a long time. I also want to have fun.
Lant and Tenia set off early the next morning and headed west to Camp No. 6, where they had just set up camp. After Tenia completed the construction of the castle, they continued westward and caught up with the road being built half an hour later. Two earth fairies.
With the addition of Tenia, road construction has become extremely simple and fast, and the Luoyue River, which is dozens of meters wide, is no longer difficult to pass.
After comprehensive exploration, Lant decided to establish the West 7th Camp on the fork bank of the Luoyue River and the Benma River, not only as a post station and fortress on the road, but also as an important waterway.
Of course, Neil's camp is not at this location now, but 10 kilometers south of the fork. Lant is not in a hurry to build Station No. 7 and directly takes Tenia there to rest.
After passing the Luoyue River, the grasslands in the west were more undulating and there were more small rivers. The 300 knights formed a fan and headed towards Neil's huge camp.
Neil's camp was so obvious. Not only did it occupy a huge area, the tents were very loosely spaced, but it also occupied several hills. It was easily identifiable from a distance. Such a huge scale made Dugan behind Lant start to groan.
"Neal has a lot of troops at his disposal!"
"Look, Neil is coming." From a distance, Lant saw Neil holding a galloping horse flag, and Nedland Wilson leading dozens of people to greet them.
"Sir, you're finally here!" Neil was so excited that he was almost speechless when he saw Lant.
"You did a good job." Lant was a little surprised when he first saw Neil's camp. It already had the temperament of his own camp.
"There must be more than 200 cavalry, right?"
"Almost, there are 20 humans, more than 70 orcs and more than 30 half-dwarves." Neil was really about to cry.
"Sir, there are too few black-scaled horses here, only 100. They are mainly four-cornered beasts of burden. They eat more than black-scaled horses. I don't have enough food here!" Neil didn't mean to hide himself deliberately. In terms of strength, he originally only annexed the surrounding 4 and 5 medium-sized tribes in mid-April, and sent most of the demonless people, half-orcs and half-dwarves eastward with iron ore and beasts of burden, and eliminated the barbarians in the camp. The size of the cavalry is maintained at about 100 people as much as possible.
However, towards the end of April, the grassland has completely warmed up. More tribes followed the practice of previous years and came to the iron ore to purchase goods. After learning that the iron ore was inaccessible, they gathered around Neil's camp. The first few to come would follow Neil's footsteps. The camps were merged, and those behind simply camped on the outside. Everyone opened the market, first exchanged what they had, and then eagerly hoped that Neil could lead people to attack the iron ore.
Many tribes who were waiting to join in the fun suddenly discovered that a large group of cavalry like Lant was driving over, and began to send people to explore near Neil's camp. Some leaders even brought people over directly. It was lively for a while.
. . . Neil welcomed Lant into his tent and introduced him to Lant as the leader. When the outsiders left, Neil began to formally report on the results of this period.
Since he arrived outside the iron mine on April 7 and annexed the Longhorn Tribe, he has successively annexed 4 surrounding medium-sized tribes, and transported all the demonless people and barbarian cavalry without black scale horses to the east, a total of 3 batches This time, there were a total of 20 human demons, 100 barbarian cavalry and more than 800 demon-free people, as well as 10 half-dwarves and 15 half-orcs.

】After Lant clearly informed Neil that he was about to lead his team to attack the iron mines at the end of April, Neil stopped migrating people eastward, and the surrounding tribes gathered more and more. All Neil could do was to redeem the humans from each tribe. Come out and join the Knights.
According to Neil's statistics, he is surrounded by nearly 15 tribes. These tribes rely on selling iron ore or are involved in the iron ore industry. There are a total of 300 people who support demons and a total of 1,500 people who do not have demons.
However, these tribes did not just express their willingness to surrender, and were not counted as the population of the Benma family. As the information continued to gather, Neil roughly figured out the situation in the iron mine. There were more than 350 human demon possessors, nearly 4,500 human demon-free people, 500 barbarian demon embracers and 2,700 barbarians in the entire iron mine. Wu Mo, because the iron ore trade has come to a standstill, the mine is in a food shortage crisis.
The iron mine even sent representatives to look for Neil, hoping to borrow some of the food.
"Are their representatives human or barbarian?" Rant suddenly became interested when he heard the representative.
"Human race, and a human mage," Neil recalled,
"This man's name is Carl Billy. He said that he is not the only mage in the iron mine, but there are even many knights."
"Listen to what he means. During the few years they were sent here, the brown bears were at best their caretakers, not their masters."
"You're so loud. How come you're so powerful and you're sent to the iron mine?"
"I don't know about that, but he boasted that there were several high-ranking knights in their mine, who were all powerful figures in the kingdom at that time, such as Petreu Lanyuan, Bit Baixiao, and someone else's name. ..."
"Waynes Lanyuan?" Dugan Bluelong on the side suddenly said.
"Ah, yes, that's the name." Neil didn't remember the human name very clearly.
"Captain Dugan, have you heard of this man?"
"Hmph, these guys actually came together." Dugan made a disdainful sound.
