Chapter 230 Prepare to Fight

Elrond 6B year 11 9th.

Unknowingly, the "ownerless" state of Kieg Town has lasted for more than a week.

Since the assassination of the Viscount of Tranka, the basic order in Kieg Town has not collapsed, but an inexplicable depressing atmosphere has made the townspeople understand: everything is just before the storm It's just quiet.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and many shops have closed down. In the cold wind, passers-by huddled their bodies in their cloaks as much as possible and walked forward. When they passed the square in the center of the town, they could vaguely see the notice about "treason".

The town that lost its lord has no patrolling team, replaced by some sneaky outsiders. As for the intentions of these guys, the people in the town are very helpless even though they are well aware... In such a season, it is unrealistic to migrate to other places. The only thing they can do is to close the door tightly. In front of the warm fireplace, pray for the early end of the war.

After all, a similar scene will end one day. At noon on the 9th, the sound of horseshoes from a distance finally disturbed this quiet town.

A troop of cavalry from the Western Territory rushed out of the forest. There were about a hundred of them. The leading knight was dressed in luxurious armor. The family emblem on his chest was a double-headed eagle, which meant that he was "Joy" Lord Bourne of the "S" family.

The 100-man cavalry unit was astonishingly imposing, followed by a long train of luggage and retinues, totaling about 230 people in total——After entering the town, Baron Burne Joyce first watched from the square. After reading the "treason" statement about Telanca, he then stationed the troops on the edge of the town, without making a gesture of completely controlling the town.

Speaking of it, this can be regarded as a "conventional" rule among nobles. After all, human beings are different from orcs. If the "Blood Hammer Clan" were here, I am afraid that Kig Town would have been slaughtered over and over again... But the principle pursued by the nobles is "If you can't fight, don't fight"—even if you fight , and will not really be cruel, basically the prisoners are the main ones, and after the battle is over, those who pay the ransom can take them back...

To put it bluntly, the interests of the nobles are still the most important. When there is money to earn, it is of course good to not die.

Under such rules, Baron Berne waited leisurely outside the town. Around afternoon, the two lord teams from the north were also stationed outside. Not only did the battle not start, but at dinner time, the three The two lords even sat at the same dining table and ate...

"This group of nobles are so fucking hypocritical. They looked at each other and wanted to smash each other's faces, but they had to pretend to be gentlemen and chat without pain, tsk tsk."

Still in the manor left by Ansardin, the atmosphere in the restaurant is obviously much better than the aristocratic dining table a few kilometers away - Roddy, Sodlor, Ruger, Carter and Akasha all sat Here, it was Rody who was talking at this time, but after he finished speaking, he added: "Hey, Soderol, of course I didn't mention you. I'm used to being a scout, and I forgot that there is another one of us." What about the baron, hey..."

He dared to say such words at will. After all, in the traditional concept, "scouts" and "lords" are completely two classes, let alone sitting together to eat, even speaking without honorifics will be reprimanded

However, such a practice naturally cannot be applied right now—the dining table for Rody and the others, and the other seven or eight tables are full of scouts. These "teams" trained by Rody are qualified to eat with them , so the atmosphere in the restaurant is very lively, quite a sense of harmony during training on weekdays.

"Of course I don't have any objections. To be honest, being such a baron is more interesting than expected." Soderol poured a glass of warm ale, and said with some emotion: "When the Duke of Angmar conferred the baron , I was worried about whether I would become like those nobles—or I would hide my bow and send all my brothers who fought side by side to a corner or something..."

Shaking his head, he looked around at the scouts who rushed over together, and said with a smile, "This is fine now, we are still together, and we can charge for the kingdom side by side."

"I said earlier that your worries are unnecessary." Rody raised his glass, but what he drank was the warm water specially poured by Akasha. "The preparations are almost the same these days?"

"As expected, those Templar soldiers are almost useless in battle, and they are more than enough to be engineers.

These words made Rody roll his eyes, but he was naturally satisfied in his heart. He thought for a while, stretched out his hand and counted: "Three lords came today. According to the news, they will be almost all here in the next two days. Heh... The charm of Kig Town is really not small."

"These guys are very cautious. They are all carefully watching the movements of the Duke of Angmar. After hearing the news that Wellington and Titus are going to the Northwest Fortress, they dare to appear blatantly," Suo Deluoer pondered for a moment, low Said: "But what I'm worried about is... will it really take a long time for them to do it?"

"Nobles are like this, just let them talk slowly," Luo Di rubbed the wooden cup in his hand, "According to the usual practice, they won't be able to fight within half a month."

Turning his head, Rody asked about other things: "Luge, is there any news from the Whispering Forest?"

"The scout reported the news, and there was a little accident, but everything is normal, and the team will arrive early tomorrow morning."

"That's fine. After all, it's more reassuring to have a larger number of people." He turned his gaze to Akasha, reached out and patted her, "What have you been thinking recently? You're always distracted."

"Huh? I...I'm thinking about the content of that book."

The beautiful pastor was taken aback by Roddy's actions, and hurriedly answered in a low voice—the voice was soft and weak, revealing unspeakable embarrassment.

Luo Di raised his eyebrows, then smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to be interested in these things. If I had known earlier, I would have asked Nataduo to bring back books that are basically similar to you."

Akasha was a little embarrassed, and said: "Actually, what you said that day seems to be feasible. Necromancy may be able to—"

Before she finished speaking, the door of the restaurant was suddenly pushed open, and the scout in charge of delivering the information trotted in with the cold air of early winter, and came to Rody without stopping all the way, stood at attention and saluted, and then reported something that made everyone feel astonished message:

The three lords who were "friendly and eating" at the dining table just now suddenly became agitated, and even made a posture of "fighting each other"...
