Chapter 283: Gathering of Storms and Clouds
After a moment's pause, the barbarian chieftain Perma Khan reacted and asked in an angry voice.
"You coward, where is your honor as a warrior?!"
Viscount Namixia sneered.
"Challenging an old man is the honor of your so-called warrior?!"
Chief Permahan opened his mouth and was speechless.
That's right, Viscount Namixia is only a high-level warrior, and he is already in his fifties, long past the peak age of a warrior, plus he has worked hard all year round, his hair is half white, and he is already an old man from the outside.
And Perma Khan is at the peak age of his thirties, challenging Viscount Namixia, who is in his fifties, is indeed suspected of bullying the other party's old age.
Viscount Namixia's lieutenant, Ulando, mocked loudly.
"Challenging a gray-haired elder! What kind of warrior honor! I have never seen such a brazen person!"
The soldiers on the ramparts burst into laughter.
Perma Khan was furious.
"You cowardly bastard! How dare you insult me! How dare you come down and fight me to the death!"
The high-level warrior, Ulan Do, was young and vigorous, and was about to respond, but Viscount Namixia hurriedly stopped it.
"Ulan Do! Don't be fooled!"
Adjutant - Ulan Duo calmed down when he heard this, and when he thought that he almost agreed, he was terrified.
The barbarian clan advocates force, the chief of the tribe is the strongest of the tribe, and the chief of the big tribe generally has master-level strength, and the barbarian in front of him can become the commander of the army, and he must be the best among the barbarian chiefs.
A high-level warrior against a master-level powerhouse, with his ass to think about the outcome of the battle.
Seeing that there was no sound on the city tower, Perma Khan scolded again, and his words were very ugly.
Not only ordinary sergeants, but also Viscount Namixia, who had excellent cultivation, was furious when he heard this, took off the beast horn bow enchanted behind his back, pulled out a feather arrow from the quiver, and pulled the bow to wind.
The arrows were driven into the ground in front of the barbarian chieftain, most of them sinking into the dirt, and the feathers of the arrow's tail trembled violently outside.
"Get out!"
Perma Khan looked at the soldiers on the castle tower with their arrows wound, and defiantly slashed into the sky.
"A shrunken turtle with no eggs!"
Perma Khan turned away without hesitation.
Although he is a master-level powerhouse, he can't stop the continuous shooting of so many soldiers, and it is better to take the initiative to evacuate than to be driven away by the arrows.
Of course, the deeper reason was that he sensed a warning message from a master-level powerhouse behind the city walls.
The barbarian chief returned to the barbarian ranks, and several barbarian high-ranking people hurriedly surrounded him.
"These damn Lowe people won't come out!
"Understood!" xN
The army of more than 30,000 barbarians was composed of more than a dozen barbarian tribes, and the chiefs of each tribe drove their horses back to their respective ranks, and then the army of more than 30,000 barbarians divided into more than a dozen groups of men and horses, bypassing the fortress of Midoran.
The border between the Kingdom of Lowe and the Barbarian Prairie is a hill that is not very high, and the five major fortresses block the five military points that can be passed by the large army, but at this time, the small roads scattered between the hills are undefended.
The scattered barbarian tribes will follow those border paths into the territory of the Kingdom of Lowe and wreak havoc on villages and towns, which is also the battle plan drawn up by the barbarian patriarch, Severylie.
Just as Viscount Namisha had anticipated the actions of the barbarians, Severi had predicted that the under-armed Levy frontier army would defend the city, and the barbarians could not do anything with the tall walls, but plundering the villages and towns on the border was the barbarian's forte.
This time it was specifically for revenge, and killing, robbing, and burning it was the strategy of the barbarians' actions, because the barbarian high-level agreed that only by letting the Luo Wei Kingdom deeply remember this lesson would they not dare to be disrespectful to the barbarians.
Upstairs in the fortress of Midoran, Viscount Namixia gritted his teeth and watched the scattered barbarian ranks, which had been used for thousands of years to plunder food and women when winter came.
In the past, there were border patrol guards, and the barbarian tribes fought on their own, and they were all infiltrated in small groups, but now, the barbarian army entered with swagger.
The scale of this barbarian disaster is unprecedentedly powerful, and I don't know how many people will suffer, Viscount Namixia sighed.
Seventy percent of the minor nobles of the Lowe royal family were in the northern provinces, because the royal family needed a strong crowd to become a solid line of defense against the barbarians going south, and there was nothing like fiefdoms and titles to make people do their best.
However, most of these nobles were low-ranking nobles such as knights and barons, and these minor nobles were scattered throughout the northern provinces.
Generally speaking, a knight can own a manor or village as a territory, a baron owns several villages or even a small town, and a viscount owns a bustling town or even a small town, as well as the villages around the town.
In the beginning, the Viscount family of Viscount Simir, to which Namsia Simir belonged, was only a baron who owned a small town called Shiratori Town.
Shiratori has experienced dozens or hundreds of brute disasters, but fortunately did not encounter an invincible enemy, and Shiratori was lucky to survive.
After several generations of hard work, the Simir family has accumulated enough military merits and upgraded to the Viscount family, and the town of White Bird has gradually developed into White Bird City, becoming one of the top five cities in the northern province of the Kingdom of Lowe.
However, the lucky little nobles like the Simir family are only a few after all, and in the past few hundred years, countless small noble families have been wiped out by barbaric disasters.
In the barbarian calamity, master-level barbarians are rare, but there are still some high-level combat power, and the highest combat power of the general viscount family is the master level, and it is still difficult for the viscount family to protect itself, let alone barons and knights.
This barbarian plague was extremely violent, and even the Viscount family was in danger of being destroyed.
Viscount Namixia is also a little worried about his family, the Ximir family has been inherited for more than two hundred years, and the strongest one is a master-level warrior, but if there are two master-level powerhouses besieging it, even if there is a city wall, it may not be able to stop it.
But at this time, Viscount Namixia could only pray that the family and the four princes would fight for some energy, survive for three days, and wait for the arrival of reinforcements from the White Castle to be able to fully counterattack.
The four princes of the Lowe Kingdom soon received the news of the White Castle army, and immediately understood the content of the trial leading to the throne, and the four princes accelerated to the cities of the supporters of their respective northern provinces.
At the same time as the barbarians and the Kingdom of Lowe were making initial moves, the army of the White Keep also landed on the docks of Bailey City.
After landing on land, the commander of the White Keep army, the Gnoll Hogg Riverpaw, did not stop and rushed to the northern province with 100,000 gnoll cavalry.
Although the White Castle and the royal family of Lowe jointly blocked the news of the landing of the army, it was not too long, and the news would reach the ears of the barbarians sooner or later.
Since the barbarians are good at horse warfare, all the white dragon lords sent are gnolloll cavalry, while the ogres have no suitable mounts and are wearing heavy armor, so they can only rush over slowly.
For a time, the northern province of the Luowei Kingdom was turbulent.
There is a small town more than ten kilometers outside the White Bird City, called Green Vine Town, which is the hereditary domain of Baron Mavi's family.
At this time, Baron Mavi, who had been in power for less than a year, sat on a chair at the end of the castle hall, with a sad face.
Due to the fact that it is not far from the powerful White Bird City, Green Vine Town has always been attached to White Bird City, and it is precisely because of the deterrence of White Bird City that barbarians generally do not come to plunder around White Bird City.
After all, the barbarians plundered for food, and it was the same to plunder that village, and they couldn't provoke the mighty White Bird City.
However, that was before, and now that the barbarian army is coming for revenge, the mighty White Bird City is more likely to attract the attention of the barbarian powerhouses than other cities, because the owner of the White Bird City, Viscount Namixia, is the leader of the border army, and he is also the "culprit" of the slaughter of the barbarians a few days ago.
It is almost certain that Shiratori will be violently retaliated against by the barbarians, and when the time comes, the first to be unlucky will be the villages and towns not far from Shiratori City.
The usual umbrella has become a life-threatening talisman, and the young Baron Mavi wants to cry without tears.
Now, Baron Mavi is at war with heaven and man in his heart, thinking about whether to go into the mountains to escape, or go to White Bird City and stand with the Viscount Simir family.
That's right, Baron Mavi has already given up the territory in his heart, after all, this barbaric disaster is not trivial, and it is by no means something that Green Vine Town can stop, Baron Mawei does not dare to gamble with his own life to bet on that illusory luck.
If you go into the mountains to escape, you only need to bring the townspeople and food, and it is better to have the safety of the personnel, but if you do this, the relationship between your own family and the Viscount Simir family for two generations will not be ruined, but it will definitely fall to the freezing point.
Because, the Viscount Simir family has sent an invitation, inviting Baron Mavi to take the townspeople to take refuge in White Bird City.
said that he went to the city to take refuge, but no one is a fool, as soon as the barbarians come, Baron Mavi will definitely take people to the battlefield.
After some careful consideration, Baron Mavi decided to go to White Bird City, because if he went into the mountains to escape, he would most likely face a post-war reckoning.
The law of the kingdom stipulates that nobles have the obligation to defend their territories, and the punishment of nobles who evade their obligations is extremely severe, and they may even take back their titles and territories, but it is still permissible to move strategically and go to other places to resist the enemy.
Baron Mavi went to White Bird City, if he can make meritorious service on the battlefield, it is even more likely to be added to the ranks, even if he can't make meritorious service, he can deepen his friendship with Viscount Simir's family, and make the road to the nobility a little smoother in the future.
Moreover, Baron Mavi's father died at the hands of barbarians, if he avoided the battle, Baron Mavi felt sorry for his dead father, and he also needed a battle to enhance his prestige and stabilize his position as the new successor to the title.
Of course, if the city is broken, then everything is over.
But the walls of White Bird City are tall, and there are elite soldiers and a master-level powerhouse guarding it, so it is so easy to fall.
So, Baron Mavi decided to take a gamble.
After making up his mind, Baron Mavi got busy, first ordering his cronies to escort his family, valuables, and townspeople to the mountains for refuge, so that if White Bird City was broken and Green Vine Town was finished, at least the foundation of the territory would still be there.
After hastily arranging the affairs of the territory, Baron Mavi rushed directly to White Bird City with an army of five hundred people.
Due to the lack of old, weak, sick and disabled people, Baron Ma Wei and his party were very fast, and soon arrived at White Bird City.
At the gates of White Bird City, Baron Mavi was warmly welcomed by Sarlock Simir, the son of Viscount Namixia, and arranged accommodation for Baron Mavi and his party, apparently, Saloc had been looking forward to these reinforcements for a long time.
At noon, in the hall of the castle of the Viscount Simir family in Shiratori City, the acting lord of Shiratori Castle, Sallock, and the nobles gathered in Shiratori City were having a meeting.
Due to the attack of a strong enemy, there is no hope of holding the territory, most of the nobles around White Bird City gather here, there are two barons and seven knights, all of whom have the same idea as Baron Mavi.
As the host, Sallock was the first to raise his glass and speak.
"Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, for your trust in the Simir family, and let us raise a glass to our friendship to last forever. ”
After everyone drank a glass of wine together, they exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then went straight to the topic.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the barbarians are menacing, the situation is not optimistic, I have received news from the scouts that many villages on the border have been attacked, but fortunately, my father has taken precautions, and the villagers have already evacuated. ”
Salek first praised his father, then couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, and slammed his fist on the table.
"But, the damned barbarians set fire to the village!
"What?!"
Everyone couldn't help but exclaim, in the past, in order to continue plundering in the second year, barbarians generally killed people and robbed things, and rarely did things like setting fire to the village.
Everyone frowned and began to worry about whether their territory would also be burned by the barbarians.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the barbarians are leaving no way to survive this time!"
Sarlock continued.
"According to the report from the spies, a large group of barbarians are rushing towards White Bird City, and they will arrive at dusk today!"
The corners of Baron Mavi's mouth twitched, although he was ready that White Bird City would be taken care of, but when it came to the end, he still felt a little toothache, and the expressions of the other nobles were just as wonderful.
However, it didn't take long for Baron Mavi to sort out his emotions, and at this time, it was too late to regret it.
"Sallock, you are now the city lord of White Bird City, how to arrange it, you just have to say!
Sallock glanced at Baron Mavi gratefully, Green Vine Town and White Bird City are not far away, Baron Mavi and Sallock are naturally familiar with each other, and they are also very good friends.
Another baron, a ninth-level warrior in his thirties, Tedoro, also chimed in.
"Yes, just say anything!"
"Thank you, Baron Tedoro. ”
The two highest-ranking barons had no opinion, and the rest of the knights had no opinion.
Sallock smiled.
"Actually, it's not all bad news, I've already received a message from the third prince, His Royal Highness Mirham, His Royal Highness the Third Prince is on his way with 10,000 white wolf troops and other nobles, and it can be reached at dusk. ”
The arrival of strong reinforcements gave everyone a reassurance, and they all rejoiced in their decision to come to White Bird City.
