In the early morning of the 10th, outside a courtyard near the city wall of Baishu City, a plain-looking knight opened the door and walked straight to the main building of the courtyard. He skillfully found a secret door in the room and entered the cellar.
After passing a short section of underground passage, the space immediately became much wider. A circular room with a diameter of 20 meters and a height of about 6 or 7 meters appeared in front of us. The dome of the room is covered with lighting magic panels, and the ground is covered with cork floors. There is a half-meter-high barbecue platform in the center of the room. The table is covered with heating magic panels, making the entire basement completely free of moisture and coldness. Feel.
Beside the high platform, a tall knight was sitting on the ground, enjoying the things heated on the grill. When he saw the young man, he smiled and said, "Lehman, did that cow promise you?"
"Yes, father, she is already tempted," the young man nodded. "Even if she doesn't bring the team to White Tree City, she won't escape easily."
"That's alright, the Baishu family will decline without any of the thugs and the slave camp," the knight said with a smile, "We have already exchanged all the slaves for cash. As long as there is a problem with the Baishu side, we can buy them directly. House, in the future our iguana family will be the most powerful local slave owners!"
"Father, let me tell you, we should be more prepared. For example, if Imola dares not come, should we find a team to rush into the city for her?" the young man asked.
The old man nodded: "Haha, this is natural, but we can't do this kind of thing ourselves, we have to find a family to help!"
While the Iguana family was discussing how to take advantage of the local situation, 100 auxiliary troops, 20 knights and more than 20 administrative staff arrived from Yeqi City.
In addition to manpower, there are 20 large carriages and 20 oversized containers.
If it weren't for the Royal Capital's personal intervention, White Tree City would have even thought that Lant was going to occupy this city that was not a good match for Earl Maned Wolf's family.
Peter Maned Wolf and Jim led the team out of the city gate, and the White Tree Knights guarding the city breathed a sigh of relief.
About 2 kilometers outside the city, Canine finally opened the container and took out 10 intermediate frost wolves and 10 junior wind wolves from the Frostwolf Knights.
"Fangs, you are quite capable! You actually came up with such a method!" Peter praised as he watched the knights get on the wolf, "But my lord didn't just send you 20 knights, right?"
"Of course not, there are about 30 knights, and they will probably arrive tomorrow or the day after tomorrow!" The knights that Hunya mentioned were the knights from the Imperial Capital and the Galloping Horse family, who formed the escort team together.
"My people are only responsible for sending the slaves out of the Baishu Viscount territory, and then they have to go back. They are the real main escort," Hound Tooth said with a smile, "And your Excellency has already said hello to all the nobles along the way. They We will arrange for demon holders to help escort us!"
Peter nodded and walked southeast with Canuya and others. When they were almost at the edge of the forest, beside a short slope by the river, they could see a stockade about 1 kilometer in diameter. A flying dragon flag was flying on the gate of the stockade. , there were already several people dressed as knights waiting for them at the door.
"This camp was handed over yesterday. I couldn't drink enough yesterday, so I asked Baron Dutov to come with 10 people to take over." Peter explained, pointing to the old man at the gate of the village, "That old man is Baron Dutov. .”
When Dogtooth met Dutov, the first thing he thought of was the housekeeper of Count Maned Wolf's family. He had sharp eyes and a kind appearance. He had one hand across his stomach, as if holding a square scarf, and the other hand behind his back. It seems like something will happen at any time.
"Knight Fang, Knight Peter introduced you to me yesterday," Dutov said hello to Fang with a smile, as if he was just a butler of a noble family. However, he was still a real baron half a year ago, much better than Huck at the same time. ·The galloping horse is not much different,
"The situation in the camp is more complicated than I thought. I'm afraid it will take three days at the earliest before we can set off."
"Oh?" Canine frowned. It wasn't that he thought Dutov was causing trouble, it was just that the situation at the Iowa border was relatively tense. He didn't think he could enjoy peace and happiness in the south for a long time.
However, after actually entering the village, Dog Ya understood that the three days mentioned by Dutov could not be advanced even if Laniya and Little Cardinal arrived.
All the slaves in the stockade were squatting quietly outside the tent, densely packed like rat men. The faces of the slaves were all young, but there was no hope on their thin faces, only fear, confusion and hunger. .
"The ratio of men to women is about 100:80. There are some older people and some very young people in the tent. The Feilong family said that the people in the tent were given to us," Dutov explained. "In addition, the housekeeper of the Iguana family has already I’ve been here, his slave will arrive in the afternoon, and the situation is the same as here.”
"That is to say, the number of slaves we have to escort is more than 41,000?" Hound Ya asked, quite a bit big.
"The premise is that they must survive," Dutov said seriously, "or that there must be enough food."
…
In the evening, Encris Galloping Horse and Kunbe Helen led nearly 30 knights and 300 auxiliary troops through the portal, exited the city gate and headed southeast.
The two of them respectively represent two types of middle and low-level knights in the Lant territory. Encris and the 13 knights with the surname of Galloping Horse in the team are all members of the Galloping Horse family in the Dragon Kingdom. They have been recruited in recent months. Huck Benma recruited him into Yeqi City, and his children went to school at Benma Academy. With his surname of "Benma", he ate World of Warcraft meat in Yeqi City in vain for 2 months.
Kunbe Helen is the cousin of Saffron Helen. He has access to high-ranking knights through family connections, but he has long been unable to use the skills of a high-ranking knight because he hangs around in sensual places. He and the 15 low-ranking knights behind him are... A knight of the imperial capital appointed by Lord Cromwell.
The combat effectiveness of these two people is around the level of intermediate knights. If they are trained properly, they may be able to rank at the top of the Galloping Horse Knights.
However, the orcs were too far away for them, and they were not mentally prepared to go to the Iowa Pass to fight the orcs. Being able to obtain such an escort mission was worthy of Rand's support.
"This group of demon-free auxiliary troops is marching in unison!" Encris Galloping Horse and Kunbei Helen had nothing to say. In Encris' eyes, Kunbei was a noble of the imperial capital, so he said Speak as politely as possible.
"Indeed, Count Lant is really good at governing. Knight Enkris, in my opinion, Yeqi City will definitely be able to defeat the orcs and protect the entire Galloping Horse Plain!" Kunbei nodded. In his opinion, the knight in front of him is The Lant family may belong to the marquis and count in the future, and he must not offend him.
"What are the knights at the front talking about?" At the end of the team, a half-rabbit asked the half-deer beside him.
"Who knows, I heard that these knights are not from the Knights of the Galloping Horse, they are just a temporary team."
Following the knights, there are 10 half-orc life priests. The leaders of these priests are the half-deer man Benny and half-rabbit Hordus who were once the Imola tribe. After experiencing the wolf priests of White Wolf City, After the guidance, both life priests successfully broke through the primary level.
Such a newly assembled team arrived at the gate of the slave camp. As the gate opened, Canine came with his wolf cavalry to greet them. Encris Benma and Kunbei Helen took a deep breath and said in unison: "So many intermediate-level monsters?"
