In the early morning of May 28, senior knight Valtin Grarov of the Knights directly under Kirislav woke up from his tent in the simple camp. Valtin led his team into the eastern edge of the Frostwolf Forest on February 20, but he was During the month of march, most of the military horses were lost. Many of the military horses directly under the Knights were imported black scale horses. The loss of each horse meant that His Majesty the King lost more than 100 gold coins.
Not only were their horses lost, they also fought against orcs, wolves, and warcraft several times. In early March, they were almost pushed back to the territory of Kirislav. It was not until the human magisters and high-level knights took action that they could enter the Frostwolves again. forest. After that, they tracked the fleeing orcs and finally walked out of the western part of the forest and saw their original destination: the Lokilav Pass on the eastern border of Galloping Horse Plains.
Before the war, Vargin was personally received by His Majesty King Peterev. The purpose of their group of knights was very simple. They were to break through the Frostwolf Forest and establish a simple camp east of the Lokilav Pass to ensure that they would win the battle in the new Bend. Before the establishment of the Horse Kingdom, the Frostwolf Forest was completely swallowed by Kirislav.
"Mihal, call all the knights to assemble. We need to drive those wolves to the west of the mountain pass," Vargin said to the adjutant outside the tent, "Let them hurry up. His Majesty said that as long as the land is taken , we are the pioneer lords here. I don’t want more knights to carve up the territory!”
"Yes, captain, I will tell the other three captains immediately." The adjutant showed a flattering smile, "Captain, according to your level, you have to become a viscount this time, right?"
"It depends on your Majesty's wishes," Captain Vargin looked modest on the surface, but in his heart he was planning to seize the valley directly and insert Kirislav's chess pieces in the Galloping Horse Plain.
However, soon, his adjutant Michal ran over from the direction of the camp gate, "Captain, Captain Bao Yako asked you to come over quickly, something big happened!"
"What's the matter? Have those magisters finished sweeping the forest?" Vargin looked unkind. According to the agreement between the king and the western earl, the western earl Larzan Cattrall added the Frostwolf Forest to his earl territory. The forest The plains and valleys to the west may be occupied only by His Majesty's troops. Valgin did not want the West Earl to get involved in the plains west of the forest.
"A castle suddenly appeared on the other side of the mountain pass, and even the walls of those wolf barbarian camps appeared!"
"What did you say? Castle? Wall?" Valgin was a little stunned. He heard that Lant already owned the earth-type goblin. "The galloping Viscount has arrived?"
When Valgin trotted and rushed outside the camp gate, several other knight captains had already arrived one after another. There were four knight squadrons in the entire camp. They had all passed through the Frostwolf Forest in a few days and gathered at the camp.
"Vargin, you are finally here. Look over there. I remember when the sun set yesterday, the mountain pass was still empty, and there were only some wooden railings in Langman's village." Bao Yake pointed to the west and said, "But a Those buildings actually appeared at night.”
"Captain, we also scouted westward last night, and I'm afraid it didn't appear until close to the early morning," another knight took over, and the other knights fell silent.
The knights began to find war horses and draft horses, preparing to approach the mountain pass to test. Most of their black scale horse mounts had been lost within 2 months, and they could only rely on supplementary ordinary horses. On the way from the knight camp to the foot of the mountain pass, a watchtower tens of meters high was built in the castle on the south side of the mountain pass, and the mountain surrounded by the city wall gradually formed a 60-meter-high building.
"Oh my God." Valgin looked at the building that was dozens of meters tall and was shaped by a black and yellow whirlwind in front of their eyes. The reins in his hands were a little unsteady. "I'm afraid it's all in vain for the high-ranking Lord Earl to send him now."
However, the knights failed to get close to the city wall, because when they were less than one kilometer away from the city wall, the simple wooden gate opened, and Lant came forward with more than 50 knights and more than 50 barbarian cavalry.
"Hurry up and raise the white bear flag." The flag of the Kirislav Knights directly depicts a white bear, while the royal family's flag is a double-headed eagle. The knights hold the flag high to let the opponent know that there are friendly forces on both sides. Accidental injury.
Looking at the hundred-man cavalry in front of him, with all the black-scaled horses and iron armor coming overwhelmingly, Captain Varking's face turned bitter. Originally, several of their directly affiliated knights also had such equipment, but the black-scaled horses were gradually lost in the forest. Now, Ordinary war horses cannot carry iron armor. This group of elite knights can only wear leather armor. They will inevitably be at a disadvantage as soon as they meet the galloping horse knights in front of them.
"Are you friends of Kirislav?" The two teams of knights approached and stopped dozens of meters away. The leader of the Benma family was the first to shout, "I am Viscount Lant Benma, the consul of Yeqi City and the Dragon Kingdom! "
"It turns out to be Viscount Lant." Valgin breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. The knight in front of him admitted that he was the Viscount of the Dragon, which meant that at least the two sides would not fight. What if he said that he was the most brutal barbarian on the plain? I have to ask for an explanation for the wolves in the Frostwolf Forest. "We are the knights directly under Kirislav. In the name of His Majesty Peterev, we are going to suppress the bandits in the Frostwolf Forest. In the past few days, a large number of bandits have gathered at the mountain pass. We originally wanted to make a surprise attack in the next two days to disperse the bandits, but we didn't expect you to come today."
"Well, yesterday my magic goblin was attacked by a group of barbarians, so last night I led a team to capture the culprit. According to the tradition of the nobles, I have set up a town outside the Lokilav Pass. Knights, if necessary You can come to town to buy anything. We are all knights of the empire, so you don’t need to be polite to me." Rand did not explain his relationship with Wolf Man to Vargin and others, because everything within the city wall had nothing to do with Kirislav.
Valgin knew that there was no doubt about the ownership of Yamaguchi. All he could do was to fight for some benefits as much as possible. "Sir, those wolves captured some of our knights. Have you seen them?"
"Of course, they have been rescued" Lant nodded.
"That's great. I hope you can hand over our knights directly to us. For this reason, I am willing to pay 5 gold coins per person for their expenses in your camp." Vargin euphemistically proposed using money to redeem people. After all, both families are human knights, so it is impossible for Kirislav to really pay ransom to Rand.
"You're too polite. They don't have much money to spend in my camp. They just had breakfast. I'll let them come over in a while." Lant said with a smile. "In addition to those knights, I also met two people from Nigeria." The young men in Gulag, their names are Merodev and Dyutrov, they are said to be children of noble families, have you heard of it, knights?" These two people are the names of the two cloaked men.
"You mean, Merodev Pekol and Dyutrov Nilinpetchen?" Of course Vargin had heard of these two people. He tried his best to avoid insulting the children of the nobles, but he was disgusted with the two street gangsters. Unable to hide it, "They are quite famous in Nikolagrad, but their fathers are all members of the royal capital. If you see them, I suggest you just send them back to the royal capital."
