From the claws of the sea eagle, he grabbed the letter crow that was out of breath and had no breath, and a wooden tube hung from his ankle, apparently the letter crow used to deliver letters.

Ever since he learned the news that the grain transport team was about to arrive in Daotan Town, Qin Song had been planning to seize the grain, thus putting Daotan Town in an irresolvable predicament. Then, he sent people to spread rumors in the community, first bankrupting Mister's encroachment plan and weakening the influence of the Holy Spirit Church in the southern frontier.

Of course, those freemen and traders are extremely valuable human resources. For the current Blackstone Collar, it is fully capable of digesting.

Food is a top priority.

The other is to use air supremacy to completely cut off the connection between Lord Mister and the Holy Spirit Church in Waterdeep, so as to make Daotan Town a lonely town with no way out.

So as to officially start attacking Daotan Town and expand the territory!

As a very efficient and intelligent messenger, the letter crow is widely used in this era of extremely backward information transmission. To control the crow is to control the communication.

And communication, in war, is extraordinary. Information lags, asymmetries and biases have a decisive impact on the overall situation.

As a bird of prey that inhabits coastal and river valleys, the bald eagle is large and aggressive, and has an overwhelming advantage over the crow in the sky.

This is the plan that Qin Song formulated based on the Spirit of the Dream Walker - the original version of the information war!

After two days of waiting, the Blackforest Hotel, which was monitored by the Three-Eyed Crow, finally released a letter crow in the evening, and then the bald eagle hidden in the Black Forest Mountains immediately took to the air, and after a short chase, the letter crow was successfully captured.

On the wax seal of the letterhead, there is the emblem of a seal, a ring from the hands of nobles, engraved with a unique symbol to indicate identity.

Unwrapping the wax seal and taking out the letter, Qin Song frowned and read it, the content of the letter is not much, but the content is very important.

This is a letter from Lord Mister to a Mentor in the Cathedral of Dolin in Waterdeep, asking the Mentor to put pressure on the Duke of Ceylon to obtain his legal status as Archon of Dawtan as soon as possible, so that he can organize forces to annex the Blackstone Territory and gain a foothold on the southern frontier before the harsh winter arrives.

"Qin, whose letter is this?" Alice asked curiously.

"Whew...... Look. ”

Alice took the letter and glanced at it, her expression did not change at first, but when she saw Lord Mister talking about the Blackstone Leader, thinking that the Blackstone Leader was empty and weak, and intended to annex it, her whole expression became angry.

"So they never gave up devouring us!" Alice said through gritted teeth.

"What's wrong? Alice?"

"Luna, see for yourself. ”

Luna hurriedly looked at it, her expression changed, and she whispered an explanation to Linda and Elena, two illiterate people, which immediately aroused indignation.

"Qin, we must do something to not let his plot succeed. Alice's expression was a little solemn, the orc army was approaching, and Lord Mister was eyeing the enemy, as if he was in a situation of being attacked on his back.

Qin Song smiled slightly, looked up at the stars in the sky, and said lightly: "Alice, any hardships and obstacles are just whetstones for victory. Don't be afraid, don't back down, the best way to overcome fear is to face it!

Then, he took a deep breath and said in an impassioned tone: "The stars are immortal, and the temple will last forever!"

"The stars will not be extinguished, and the temple will live forever......"

The four little witches muttered to themselves, looking at Qin Song's arrogant side face, and their mood gradually calmed down. By his side, there is an unquestionable sense of security.

"By the way, Luna, it's still useful to heal this crow's injuries. Qin Song narrowed his eyes, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

......

One autumn rain and one cold, ten autumn rains put on cotton.

Heavy dark clouds rolled in from the north in the early morning. The exploding lightning silver snake failed to shred the heavy clouds, and after the huge thunder rolled through the low clouds, the torrential rain overwhelmed the sky.

All of a sudden, it was cold.

A winding procession was trudging through the pouring rain, and although their feet were slippery, deep and shallow, they always maintained a neat formation.

"Damn my God!" Ralph, who was in charge of the odds of the entire team, cursing with a depressed face as he held his horned hat in one hand and the rain in the other.

Before the training started, they were still fighting high and full of confidence. However, the sudden attack of the torrential rain more than doubled the difficulty of this training, and the physical strength, endurance and will were severely tested.

"Report to Master Chief, there are a few people in the back who can't walk. Sergeant Major Monko stepped on feet full of mud and caught up from the back of the line.

"A bunch of waste. Ralph cursed: "Sure enough, as the commander said, only hard training can screen out the real strong." ”

Ralph also lashed out and said sharply: "Tell them that if you can't keep up with the team, it means elimination." There will be no cowards in the commander's army! they will be left here, and they will be tortured by a curse all the time. ”

"Yes!"

"Forward, give me forward! Run, don't you hear it!"

"Master Chief, Master Chief!"

In the middle of the line, a ragged man suddenly ran out, carrying heavy equipment on his back, and in the pouring rain, he couldn't tell who it was.

Ralph leaned closer, squinted one-eyed, and after seeing the face clearly, he suddenly laughed, "Oh, it turned out to be our noble lord. Hehe, if you can't keep up with the team, I'd be happy to leave you here. ”

"No, Master Chief!" Harald wiped the rain from his face and said loudly, "I asked to move to the front of the group, they were moving too slowly, I didn't want to follow them." ”

"Oh?" Ralph was a little surprised, after his long and special practice, this noble lord had always been submissive and respectful in front of him, but he did not expect to have such a heart.

Harald clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, peeling away the aristocratic style he had cultivated for a long time, and in fact he was a very competitive man, especially after being oppressed, and the accumulated resentment turned into motivation at this time.

"I'm not a coward!" Harald shouted with red eyes.

Although Ralph was a little surprised, he was finally accomplished. Excited, Harald rushed to the front of the group, shaking his feet full of mud.

He is desperate to prove himself and prove that he is a strong man!

......

"My lord, the rain has stopped. ”

On the road leading from Waterdeep to Daotan, a group of twenty-three caravans, laden with food, was hiding from the rain in a sloping col.

In the makeshift tent, Mitte, the head of the Golden Cross Knights from Waterdeep, Lord Mister's cousin, a handsome man with curly blond hair, lifted the curtain and walked out, breathing in the fresh air after the rain.

"This damn drudgery should be left to that Pence guy. Mitter's face was full of resentment: "My golden cross is for war, not for being a coachman." ”

The leader of the convoy smiled flatteringly: "My lord, the town of Daotan is not far away." Once there, you can rest your feet and relax in taverns and brothels. ”

"Bah, a tavern in a poor place like this, the wine is rancid, isn't it? Those women who come out of the mud must stink to death, not even as good as sows. ”

"Huh...... Yes, yes, my lord, there's no better place to be than Waterdeep. Piri laughed and said, "Shall we leave now? or are we waiting?" Mistress Mister is in a hurry. ”

"Let's go, let's go. With an irritable wave of his hand, Mitte returned to the tent, put on his cloak, put on his helmet, and stepped on the jewel-encrusted knight's greatsword.

As soon as he stepped out of the tent, a letter crow hovering in mid-air suddenly swooped down and landed on the rope of the tent.

"Letter?" Mitt looked at the letter crow strangely, this kind of training letter crow can remember the direction, can also remember the color pattern of the flag, even on the march, can also be used for communication.

Taking out the letter from the wooden tube, Mitt carefully distinguished the emblem on the wax seal and confirmed that it was his cousin Mister's seal, and then opened the letter with a solemn face.

After looking at it for a while, his eyebrows suddenly stretched out, and he smiled, my cousin is really a considerate person.

"Piri, come here, come here. ”

"Yes, my lord, what do you command?"

"It's only a day's journey from here to Daotan. My cousin, clear the way for you safely. And I'm going to lead the Golden Cross back to Waterdeep. Mitt smiled and folded the letter, the letter was not his cousin's handwriting, but it was also a common thing for staff to ghostwrite, and the unique seal and ring emblem could not be mistaken.

"Huh, sir...... This...... It's coming soon. ”

"No, I'm not comfortable looking at this kind of poor place!" Mitter, who had long been tired of everything, turned over and straightened his armor: "Waterdeep City is the real comfort zone." ”

"Okay. "Piri can only do what he is told, after all, this place is not far from Daotan Town, so there should be no surprises.

Soon, the Knights of the Golden Cross put their ranks in order, and to the laughter of more than sixty knights, they parted ways with the grain convoy of only thirty coachmen and grooms.

There was a whip snap......

The convoy began to move on.
