Chapter 1279 Conspiracy

"Your Excellency, the town of Fengshuang is just ahead."

A Knight Report.

Marvin Pike raised his lookout glass and observed the movements in the town - this place is located at the southwest junction of Everwinter and Wolf Heart, surrounded by hillsides. Standing on any high point, you can have a clear view of the town. Chu. Because the terrain is easy to attack and difficult to defend, Fengshuang Town has not been expanded into a castle for hundreds of years.

There are many small towns like this on the border between the two kingdoms, and there is nothing special about them. Normally, Maween would not even look at it twice, but now, it has a unique meaning.

"Has there been any news about the people who came to inquire for information?"

"I asked, and it only took a few silver wolves, and the townspeople told me everything." The knight said proudly, "There is indeed a team of Graycastle people operating here. They are not many, only forty or fifty people. It appears almost every once in a while.”

"Why aren't they stationed here?"

"After crossing the border, there are mountain roads, and I heard that wild wolves often appear. If there is no one to escort them, none of the refugees will be able to get through."

Ma Wei En suddenly felt confident.

The spread of the red mist is not based on the border, but rather like an ever-expanding semicircle. This makes the farthest red mist have already crossed the Wolf Heart King City area, while the nearest one is still within the territory of Eternal Winter. Compared to traveling to neighboring countries, fighting within the kingdom obviously made him feel more at ease.

Windshuang Town not only meets this requirement, but also because of its remote location, those who have been confused by the Graycastle people rarely enter the Wolf Heart from here. Compared to several big cities with convenient transportation, Fengshuang Town is almost as unobtrusive as a mosquito leg.

What Marvin wanted was just a small number of people.

The small number of people means that Graycastle will not pay too much attention to this place, and the information obtained by the spies undoubtedly confirms this.

As the old scholar said, the devil has his own way to deal with those hard-to-gnaw bones. What he has to do is bite the opponent's weak points hard. As long as this kind of thing is spread, no matter how big or small the result is, it can make the opponent take advantage of it.

Of course, the old scholar's plan is not just that, there are even more ruthless tricks waiting for the people of Graycastle. If they can succeed two or three times, he believes that the other party's plundering operations will be greatly frustrated. Your Excellency may also rely on him more.

"Go back, it's time to have a good talk with everyone."

…

After spending half a day traveling back to the nearest town, Mavin walked into the former lord's mansion in high spirits. This place originally belonged to an unknown baron, but not long ago he was frightened by the approaching red mist and rumors of devils and fled, which saved him a lot of negotiation time.

It is true that this land does not belong to him yet, after all, his real power is temporarily limited to the four cities in the north, but Marvin believes that the expansion of the Pike family will never stop here.

Soon, a group of nobles he had gathered gathered together, waiting for him to speak.

The Duke looked around, silently taking note of everyone's faces and expressions. There were a total of forty-five applicants sitting in the room. Most of them were knights, and there were also a few barons. The highest-ranking one was Viscount Nannos, the lord of the original North Port. These people were either forced to lose their territory, or were robbed of all their subjects by the Graycastle people. With the promise of fief rewards, they took refuge under his command without hesitation. If you include the guards and The number of available combatants for this team has reached more than 300.

With mental arithmetic but no care, and the advantage in numbers, this is obviously an excellent opportunity. More importantly, for the first time, there was no weapon gap between them and their opponents. In the past, the Everwinter nobles were beaten completely helpless because the Graycastle people's firearms were so ferocious, and their rate of fire and distance were far beyond what their imitation snow powder weapons could match. Without the support of this batch of captures from the Lord of the Sky, let alone three hundred people, even if the number doubled, there would be no nobles willing to assist him in fighting the Graycastle people.

"I wonder how prepared everyone is?" Maven cleared his throat, "I think your people should be familiar with those firearms, right?"

"Isn't it just loading the bullet into the gun chamber, then aiming at the target and pulling the trigger?" Viscount Nannos said with an angry face. "Those things that farmers in the mountains can use, it makes no sense that we can't use them. Those who were The captured guy had to be severely punished before confessing, and his tone was hesitant and reluctant, so I thought it was something special!"

"Yes, it is true to say that it is exquisitely made and out of reach for us, but it is much easier to use than a sword." A knight agreed, "I have also interrogated the Graycastle people. They have only been in the army for two years. In 2008, you can usually learn to shoot a firearm in one month, but it took me five years just to practice swordsmanship."

"One month is because these untouchables are too stupid. If it were me, three days would be enough." Another person's speech caused a burst of laughter.

"I want them to know that they are nothing without firearms!"

"Weren't firearms given by witches? I think the King of Graycastle just took advantage of the church's time to sweep away Everwinter and Wolfheart."

People’s hearts are available! Marvin realized that these nobles had been holding back their anger and were already gearing up to take revenge on the Graycastle people. Although this mixed team was put together just a week ago, and some of the people in it can't even call each other by name, everyone at least has the same goal and is full of energy.

"However, the number of crossbow arrows called bullets is limited, and the number distributed to each person's head is even less." The knight who followed him before showed his hands, "If possible, I hope everyone can use them sparingly. , wait until the distance is close before firing."

Maven looked at the other person approvingly. This person's name was Fleur, a native of the Western Region. He had taken him with him before and was also impressed by his agility. It can be seen from these words that Fleur has grasped the key to victory and defeat. It would be great if he could find an opportunity to take him as one of his own.

"Don't worry," the Duke said confidently, "The Graycastle people also don't have many bullets. There are mountains in the northwest of Wolf Heart, which limits their load. In addition... they will let us get close and escort the refugees out of danger. Isn’t this the slogan they promote?”

Everyone also sneered.

That's right, as long as the other party comes to plunder the population, they will definitely not give up this wave of "lambs" that are easily available. But as everyone knows, wolves sometimes disappear among them. In this world, it often takes just a blink of an eye to change from hunter to prey. By the time they discover there is a scam, they may have already been trapped in a cage.

After that, as long as they disguise themselves as the other party and turn around to loot the towns along the way, the Graycastle people's propaganda will inevitably be self-defeating. After repeating this a few times, they won't be able to pull anyone away from here again.

"I have already released the news. I believe that Graycastle will take action soon. You can all use it to your heart's content when the time comes, and all the gains will be yours!" Mavin stood up and concluded, "This is not only a good opportunity for your revenge, but also Seize the opportunity to gain territory and wealth! As long as I achieve my goal, I will never break my promise! Everyone, the time has come for the people of Graycastle to pay for their debt with blood!"
