"What?!" the cloak woman looked at Suren in surprise.

When will a frontier be able to defeat an orc army, and these armoured, well-equipped, and powerful armies are a private soldier who has pioneered a territory? What are you kidding, these elite soldiers in front of you are no worse than the Plantagenet Knights, who are the strongest in the royal capital.

"I'm sorry, Lord Suren. After reacting, the woman quickly apologized.

"It doesn't matter. Su Lun replied casually, he didn't care much about these nobles, just express some kindness appropriately, there was no need to please them.

Seeing Su Lun's expression, these nobles were even more cautious.

"Honorable Lord of Zhenbei City, Your Excellency Su Lun, we began to flee after the city was broken, and we have been hiding in the past few days, I wonder if you can prepare a place for us to rest and eat. The lady performed a standard aristocratic etiquette, and pleaded.

"Yes. Suren nodded in agreement.

"Thank you so much, Lord Suren, you are a true gentleman. After obtaining permission, these people were obviously relieved, now they finally don't have to worry about being captured by the orcs, and they don't have to wander in the wild, they have suffered enough from the past few days of exile, and now they can finally have a place to rest.

Suren beckoned, had one of his attendants prepare them a few horses and a rudimentary carriage, and then asked them to retreat with the group. For the sake of safety, Su Lun arranged several barbarian warriors around them, these barbarian giant axe berserkers who had risen to the top level were all third-order transcendent professionals, no matter what these people had in mind, they couldn't make any waves.

These nobles had no grievances with Suren's arrangement, and they also understood Suren's intentions in doing so.

The army soon returned to the Blackstone Fortress, and Suren asked the nobles to arrange rooms and food and no longer pay attention, after all, he was very busy now.

It is not easy for more than 10,000 human slaves to be sent back to Zhenbei City, but fortunately, Sulun now has enough manpower to divide these homeless people into a small team of ten people, a squadron of 100 people, and then transport them in batches, one thousand people in one batch, and the number of troops responsible for escorting is 200 people.

It was about three hundred miles from the Blackstone Fortress to the north of the town, and it would take only four or five days for an army to march and even faster for cavalry, but now it was a slave transport, and it would take at least a week for these people to arrive. In other words, it takes at least ten days to make a round trip.

But there is no way to do it, after all, it is not safe to put all the slaves in the Blackstone Fortress, and it will be troublesome if the orcs remember to be here. Moreover, these human slaves were half-threatened and half-forced by Su Lun to be sent to Zhenbei City, and there must be many people who are unwilling, and the probability of wanting to escape is very high.

However, when they came out of the Blackstone Fortress and came to the northern wilderness, these people had nowhere to run even if they wanted to, although the wilderness had been cleaned up many times by the soldiers of Zhenbei City, but those kobold robbers, goblins, gnolls, etc. grew savagely like weeds.

It is a problem for these ordinary humans to survive in the wilderness for a few days without the protection of the soldiers of Zhenbei City, and more importantly, the Blackstone Fortress is the only way for the northern wasteland to enter the Kingdom of Florence, with the people of Suren guarding here, those slaves will not be able to return to Florence even if they run away.

As for learning from the orcs, even those orcs with extraordinary strength have suffered heavy casualties, not to mention these ordinary humans, this road is completely lifeless.

The army used to escort Suren selected fifty archers, fifty pikemen, and a hundred harpys, and declared in front of the human slaves that as long as they escaped, the one who escaped would be dealt with by the harpy. Hearing Su Lun's decision, those harpy banshees flew back and forth in the air excitedly, and their eyes were looking back and forth on these human efforts, and even Su Lun had a creepy feeling in that gaze.

A hundred harpies, even if they were knights, would be squeezed into dregs. Those human slaves who planned to escape in their hearts broke out in a cold sweat, and directly threw the idea of escaping out of the clouds, which was too ruthless.

Seeing the silence of these humans, Su Lun smiled in his heart, and then arranged for the manpower to start the delivery according to the previous plan. 1,000 people left Zhenbei City in batches, and it took more than 10,000 people a day to evacuate.

......

Just when Su Lun arranged to evacuate the slaves, those nobles were also carefully observing the sudden rise of the lord of Zhenbei City, in their opinion, Su Lun's rise was too fast, it only took a little more than a year for him to establish a desolate frontier territory into a city, and it was also known as the pearl of the Northland, as the nobles of the North were full of curiosity about him, and also coveted his kind of sugar making technology.

It's just that when these people really came into contact with Zhenbei City, they had a clearer understanding of their strength.

"Your Excellency, they're moving the people of our Winter City! can't let them do this!" After seeing Suren take those people out of the Blackstone Fortress in batches, the nobles were not calm. Although they are aristocrats, they never cared about the peasants in their territory before, but if all the homeless people are taken away, then they will be left with these nobles, then it will be a fart!

No one farms for you, no one works for you, you can't even collect taxes, you can't even eat when you have a lot of empty land, you don't even have people to oppress and exploit. No one wants to be such an aristocrat. So after they saw Zhenbeicheng's actions, they subconsciously wanted to block it.

"Give me all peace!" the veiled woman scolded, "Watch where you are, this is not Winter City. Winter City has been breached by the orcs, and now we're just a bunch of wretched creatures under the fence. ”

"What are you doing here, rushing over to him and telling him that this is our lord, and then asking him to give them back to us?" the woman's sarcastic voice sounded particularly harsh.

"Then we can't watch them take our lead away!" said one of the noble men anxiously.

The masked woman frowned slightly, her crisp and pleasant voice had a seductive charm, and she looked coldly at the middle-aged man who spoke: "Since we abandoned the city and fled alone, we are no longer their lords. ”

"And are you sure you want to reason with that Lord Suren?" The masked woman raised her head slightly, looked at the barbarian warriors not far away, and continued: "Have you seen those barbarian warriors, do you know how strong they are?"

"Just a few barbarians, how strong they can be. Another nobleman said disdainfully that in Florence it was common to look down on the barbarians with well-limbed limbs and simple minds. However, they do have the strength to look down on the barbarians

"Just some barbarians?" the masked woman shook her head, looking at the man like an idiot again, "Locke, you come and tell them." ”

"Yes, Lord Illya. The middle-aged knight bowed, then turned to the others and said, "The other soldiers don't say much, as far as that barbarian warrior is concerned, his strength is not inferior to mine in the slightest, and as far as I can see, there are at least a hundred of these barbarian warriors. ”

Shhh

In fact, Locke still put gold on his face, although he is also a knight chief, a third-order transcendent professional, but if it is a heads-up with those barbarian giant axe berserkers, there is a chance that he will lose. These barbarians have madness skills, and the barbarian samurai after madness, although their sanity is reduced, their combat ability is more powerful.

"Locke, what you said is true?, those barbarians have a third-order strength?" one of the nobles asked with a shocked expression as he swallowed his saliva.

"Of course it's true! Do you think I'm joking?" said Locke, looking coldly at the nobles.

"I'm sorry. Seeing Locke's expression, the nobleman hurriedly apologized.

"Locke, can you tell us about the strength of this lord army in Zhenbei City?" a nobleman next to him couldn't help but ask.

Locke looked at them, then said, "I can only tell you what I saw, but I can't guarantee that they are all correct. ”

"It's okay to say it, just take it as a reference. ”

"The army of these towns and cities is about five thousand people, including not only barbarians, but also centaurs and half-elves, and the number of humans is about four thousand, and the lord of Suren has a very high reputation among these soldiers, and the army is mainly pikemen and archers, and some centaur cavalry. ”

"In this army, there are a lot of professionals whose strength is in the third order, and the strength of those half-elf archers does not need me to tell you that you also know, and there is also the lord who can command the harpy, although the strength of a single harpy is not strong, but their air superiority is too strong. ”

"If you want to defeat this army, you need at least a regular army of 50,000 men to be sure. ”

"Fifty thousand regular troops, so powerful!" a hint of shock flashed across the masked woman's face, she didn't expect the Zhenbei City army to be so powerful.

"Half-elves, centaurs, barbarians, and harpies!" several nobles couldn't help but exclaim. "How did he manage so many races to live in peace?"

"Half-elf, half-centaur, these are all powerful races, how could they join that poor country in Zhenbei City?"

"Parker, pay attention to your words, Zhenbei City is not a poor country, on the contrary, he is much richer than us, even when Winter City was not breached. ”

"I really can't understand how he managed to gain a foothold in the Northland Wasteland, I heard that he only had a year to become a pioneer lord, which means that it only took him one year to grow to this point. ”
