Chapter 189 Entering the Swamp Castle
Chapter 190 Entering the Swamp Castle
Galil remembered the places along the way very clearly. Before nightfall, he would always take the team to find a manor not far from the main road to rest.
These manors were small in scale. Some were the property of the knights of the Wushan Castle Knights, some were the territories of the pioneering knights, and some were the property of other nobles.
But no matter what the nature was, they could stay for one night as long as they paid a fee.
This was much more comfortable than Ronin's previous trips between the territory and Wushan Castle.
There was no thrilling along the way, and no attacks or assassinations were encountered. The group arrived at the intersection of Sein Territory and Shanlin Town smoothly in the morning four days later.
When Ronin and his three companions went to Wushan Castle, they had stopped at this fork in the road.
At that time, he was still wondering whether Sein Territory would belong to him when he came back again, and now this idea has been successfully realized.
"Tom."
"My Lord, please give me your orders."
Ronin glanced at the forest, then looked at the knights such as Galil beside him, and said:
"You should go to the forest town immediately to inform Ridar, and ask him to bring all the Shadow Assassins and the captured Sen Territory knights to the Swamp Town."
"Oh, by the way, let Chahar, Wilson and others come as well, we are going to take over the Swamp Town." He added.
Although Ronin had asked Viscount Marvin to help control the entrances and exits of Sen Territory in advance, the power from the outside world could only be borrowed temporarily.
If he wanted to really take over Sen Territory and maintain the security and defense here, he would have to rely on his own people to quickly deploy.
Fortunately, for the current Forest Town, the only enemy has been eliminated.
There are no other potential dangers in the entire territory except for the unstable factor of Warcraft.
"I understand!"
Tom bowed and responded, and without delay, he drove his horse directly into the forest and headed towards the Forest Castle.
Galil glanced at Tom's departing figure. He had wanted to follow him to Shanlin Town, but it seemed that he would not have the chance this time.
I don't know how much change this gentleman brought to Shanlin Town in the second half of last year.
"Galil, come with me to Swamp Town."
Ronin said with a smile: "Lesen's family and some of his knights are here, and the rest is up to you."
Galil came back to his senses: "This is my responsibility, Lord Viscount."
The distinctive feature of the Sean Territory is that it has swamps of varying sizes but distributed everywhere.
Their existence makes the air humidity here relatively high, and also provides a good growth and habitat environment for many creatures.
Baron Leisen raised their black buffaloes on this swamp.
But according to Ronin's understanding of the swamp, it would be a waste of the value of the swamp to just use it as a base for raising buffaloes.
Apart from anything else, the peat that is abundant in the swamp is an excellent organic fertilizer and soil conditioner.
However, Ronin only had a preliminary idea of how to develop it, and he needed to understand the specific situation of Swamp Town first.
After crossing two hills, a winding road led to the town at the end.
The houses in the town did not look much more advanced than those in Shanlin Town, but there were more of them, which meant that the population here was larger than that in Shanlin Town.
When Ronin and others got closer, they could see that people and horses had controlled the entrance to the town, and soon a knight galloped out from inside.
The knight saw Ronin in the crowd at a glance, mainly because the silver and black pupils of the Wushan family were very conspicuous.
"Farias Snow, the captain of the ninth knight squad of Muma City, greets Lord Viscount Wubei Territory!"
Ronin smiled and gestured, "Snow family, is it the Snow family of Miss Kerami?"
"Yes, sir."
Farias said respectfully: "Kerami is my sister, but she is not here today."
As he spoke, he welcomed Ronin in, and soon, Mas Tieti, who was in charge of controlling the Sen Territory, and Baron Taren Snow also came out of the town.
Mas Tieti, the heir of the Tieti family, looks about the same as Marvin, but he is much taller.
Ronin didn't know Baron Taren Snow very well, only knowing that he should have silver-level strength. If Muma City wants to form a knight group, this baron might be the leader of the knight group.
"Hello, Viscount Ronin!" The two dismounted to greet him.
Ronin also dismounted, saluted each other, and introduced Galil at the same time.
In this situation, Galil not only seemed to be escorting the prisoners, but also seemed to be assisting Ronin to take over the Sean Territory.
After all, everyone has selfish desires. Viscount Marvin took good care of Ronin, but that did not mean that his men could perfectly execute Marvin's orders.
If there was a dispute, Galil's presence would also be a witness.
Fortunately, Ronin's worries were unnecessary, and the people in the Horse Herding City were very disciplined.
According to Mas, when they first arrived in the Sean Territory, Fenris, who was stationed in the territory, led his men to resist.
It was a pity that Leisen put most of the territory's combat power in the Black Collar Tribe, and Fenris had no people under his command. It was easily broken through by Mas and others and occupied the Swamp Castle.
In the past few days, the people in the Horse Herding City did not do anything else, such as confiscating property, looting money and supplies, etc., except guarding the main traffic routes here and prohibiting everyone from entering and leaving.
According to Mas, they are only responsible for controlling the entry and exit, and other matters are taken over by Roning.
"Have all of Leisen's family members been detained?" Roning asked as he walked.
Mas shook his head, "Only Leisen's wife and daughter were arrested here, and his son Moravi did not return to Swamp Town for the New Year celebration."
"Then there is a fish that slipped through the net."
Roning frowned slightly, "Galil, guess where Moravi should be now?"
Galil pondered for a moment, "Moravi should be a student of Wushan Supernatural Academy, maybe he is still in Wushan Town at this moment?"
Wushan Town is located between Wushan City and Black Python City.
This town is directly under Wushan Castle, and is guarded by Melonica Taylor, the leader of the Third Knights of Wushan Castle.
Roning shook his head, "I guess Moravi has already fled."
What happened in Wushan Castle has long been spread, and Moravi should also be able to get the news.
If Ronin was Moravi, he would probably flee southwestwards into the Earldom of Hyde, perhaps hiding and avoiding disaster.
Moravi's cultivation talent is far inferior to Breton's. Even if he is given time to grow, the possibility of him becoming his opponent in the future is very small and does not pose a threat.
If he escapes, he escapes. Ronin does not care.
I just don't know if Orson has contacted Leisen privately.
If the other party protects Moravi in exchange for Leisen not confessing certain crimes or revealing certain information, will Leisen agree to it in order to preserve the family bloodline?
Of course, this is just his guess.
"My Lord Viscount, the Swamp Castle is in front." Mas pointed to the castle in front and said.
Ronin looked over.
The Swamp Castle is cleverly rooted in this wetland. Its main structure is made of dark hard stone. Even if it is subjected to the high humidity of the swamp all year round, it is still strong and well maintained.
The location of the Swamp Castle is also very clever. It is located in the center of a swamp, leaving only a road leading to the castle gate, and the rest is surrounded by water.
If there are enough people to defend the castle, it will be difficult to capture it.
"Leisen is indeed rich and powerful. The gold coins spent on building this castle are probably unimaginable!"
Roning walked into the swamp castle with anticipation.
