Chapter 229: Stockpiling Troops

The impact of Kudorei was quickly dissipated. His body was left there for a long time without being handled. The "companions" who came with him from the Baron of Kona avoided him and did not dare to take a second look. Let alone burying it.

In the end, Rogner arranged for a few infantrymen to carry it to the outskirts, dig a hole and bury it.

Wilson handled the subsequent split well.

He left more than two hundred people in Swamp Town. There were so many people living there that even if these people formed gangs, they wouldn't be able to accomplish much.

In addition, there are hundreds of people in Shanlin Town, Sanfang Town, and Heitu Town.

The news that Ronin killed Kudorei has also spread in the town, but the public opinion is one-sided.

They were all saying that Kudorei had brought it upon himself, and they also didn't think much of the newcomers, thinking that they were too greedy, unwilling to serve the lord and just wanted more, and so on.

So far, no one has said anything bad about the lord.

After handling this matter, Luo Ning's life became leisurely.

Apart from walking around on his Cloud-Taking Horse every day, he spent all the rest of his time practicing the Explosive Flame Slash from Redal.

Speaking of which, this fighting skill is more difficult than the fifth-level magic Red Flame Snake.

It has high requirements on the compression and control of fire attribute fighting spirit, and also has requirements on the movement and amount of knight's fighting spirit, which most people really cannot master.

Fortunately, Luo Ning is not an ordinary person.

After four or five days of exploration and practice, he was finally able to use the Explosive Flame Slash.

Although the control of fighting spirit has not yet reached a perfect level, it is already quite powerful and has become his strongest single-target attack skill.

Five days later, Redal and others successfully returned to Black Earth Town.

After returning this time, the patrol and cleanup missions around the territory can be concluded.

From now on, we only need to arrange the cavalry to conduct reconnaissance on several main roads. If there is any situation, the hunter team will be dispatched.

Although the sweep mission is over, it does not mean that they can be idle.

Luo Ning did not need them to engage in production work. He asked these people to focus all their energy on improving their combat power.

For example, their respective training, competition, and training of cavalry, infantry, and archers are all their tasks.

Gradually, the Wubei Territory formed a set of practices like this - Ruidal and McCann guided professional knights, and then the knights trained ordinary soldiers.

As for the chief magician Elrond, he taught Jenny and Irene magic knowledge, as well as magic potions and herbalism in the Swamp Castle.

The great doctor in Wubeiling also paid for himself and recruited several assistants to be responsible for the collection, cleaning and processing of some common herbs.

Whether they are extraordinary people or ordinary people, everyone in the Wubei leadership performs their duties and has entered a peaceful period of development.

But some places are not so peaceful.

On a high mountain, two figures stood on a protruding boulder, looking at the town in the distance.

This mountain belongs to Chishan Town and is located in the southwest of Wubei Territory.

The town the two of them were looking at was called Cassirer Town. It belonged to the Wushan Territory in the early years, but now it is occupied by the Boland Thieves Group.

"It seems that the intelligence is correct. They are stationing more and more troops in Cassirer Town!"

The speaker was Corian Hansen, Baron of Boulder City and the leader of the Fifth Knights of Wushan Territory. He had also attended Rulans's birthday party and was criticized by the latter.

The blond and burly knight beside him is named Hahn Freeman and is the deputy leader.

Although he is also Silver-level, his strength is much weaker than that of Corian.

Under normal circumstances, it was Hahn who led most of the Knights to be stationed in Chishan Town, while Kerien spent most of his time in his own territory, except for the occasional inspection.

"These guys, we all agreed to sell iron ore to them, but they are still stationing troops in Cassirer Town!"

Hahn said angrily: "What do they want to do? Do they still want to capture Chishan Town?"

Chishan Town has a small iron mine. Although it is small, it has not been exhausted after so many years of mining. It is one of the main sources of income for Lord Boulder.

In recent years, the Polite Bandits invaded the shore city, and then crossed the Altai River to occupy the towns of Surrey, Quicksand Town, Karsi Town, etc., which caused a great headache for the Fifth Knights stationed here.

In order to ease the war and reduce the pressure from Wushanbao, they privately reached a deal with the Polish Bandits, and would sell each other's iron ore at a lower price in exchange for easing relations between the two parties.

This situation has lasted for several years. Unexpectedly, this year the other party actually started to station troops in Cassirer Town.

"Perhaps they no longer want to pay to buy iron ore from us, but want to mine it themselves, which would be more profitable."

Corian narrowed his eyes, his eyes full of hostility.

Although he is the baron of Boulder City, Chishan Town is also under his jurisdiction, and this small iron mine is his treasure.

"They have such a big appetite!"

Hahn sneered and looked at the surrounding mountains.

If you want to enter Chishan Town, you must pass through the valley below.

In order to prevent enemy attacks, he has set up rolling stone traps on the mountain. If the opponent really dares to attack Chishan Town, he will definitely cause heavy losses to the opponent.

Corian thought for a while and said: "We have continued to strengthen our vigilance in the recent period. Whether it is on the mountain or down the mountain, whether it is day or night, we must ensure that there are two teams of people stationed!"

"Don't worry, I understand!"

Hahn also doesn’t want to lose the treasure of Chishan Town.

Although Corian was in charge of mining the Chishan Iron Mine, he also had 30% of it.

"I'll go back and write another letter to inform Wushanbao of the developments here." Corian said in a deep voice.

He had already written once a while ago, and Wiggins only asked him to be alert, and did not mention the matter of support.

Indeed, it was not appropriate to send troops to support before the war even started.

But as the defender here, Corian still needed to let Wiggins and Wushanbao know that the situation here on the border was becoming more and more serious.

If something really happened in the future, it would not be easy to blame him for not reporting the situation in time.

Moreover, even if Wushanbao did not send troops to support, with troops stationed in Kasir Town, it should at least support the Fifth Knights with food and horses to cope with emergencies, right?

"I'll leave it to you here."

Corian said solemnly. Over the years, he has maintained a good relationship with the deputy commander Hahn.

Hahn also had a very good impression of Corian. After all, he did get a lot of benefits from following Corian over the years.

"Leave it to me, Captain!"

He was very confident, after all, there was an entire Knights' Order stationed here.

Although they did not recover the lost territory in these years, they did curb the invasion of the Polante Bandits, which was a manifestation of their strength.

The other party was only a large city with a few small towns, and they wanted to defeat the Knights head-on, which was a bit too much of a dream.

Hahn secretly guessed that the Polante Bandits stationed troops in Kasir Town, and the ultimate goal was probably to make them lower the price of iron ore.

If that was the case, they could just sit down and talk. If they used force to threaten, who would be afraid of whom! (End of this chapter)
