Ten miles east of the city of Entre, on the banks of the Earl River, a large number of men and horses provided by the vassals of Hunt, Count of the Red Boar of Entle, came one after another from the barony of Entre to assemble.

The spring is cold, and the frost kills the young. In the early spring, the sky of Entre was still overcast with its face, and its smile did not open to the gathering of the army of the Count of Entre on the riverside. The vassals who came one after another set up white tents on the plains by the Earl, symbolizing the holiness of Arcana, and on the top of the tents were all kinds of banners—the Grand Arcana Cross Banner of Woodbank, the Red and White Cave Bear Banner of Lindisfark, and the Sword and Shield Guardian Banner of Gald, which displayed their bright colors after the cold wind blew in the cold, as if to welcome the suzerains to whom they belonged, and the fat Count of the Red Boar could come here as soon as possible on a horse of his size.

After a long winter wait of 1029, the year 1030 of the Talk Continental Calendar has slowly approached Entel, and the fat red wild boar has finally waited for the day when the vassals have been assembled and set out. Although the early spring is slightly warmer than the cold winter, if it were not for the gentle chirping of the returning migratory birds, with a hint of spring, the branches of the El Tora fruit trees in the city of Entre are still bare, and the tender green shoots are almost invisible.

Although the weather in charge of Arcana was not beautiful, it did not affect the ceremony of Entre as scheduled, and almost everyone up and down the city of Entre was already busy, from nobles and priests to soldiers and subjects.

The Archbishop of the Countdom of Entre at the church of St. Kana of Entre wore a gorgeous white top hat and a pale blue silver-trimmed Arcana priest's robe, holding a holy weapon made of sterling silver - the Great Arcana Cross with a glittering silver light. He was followed by all the priests of the diocese, each of whom held a candle shining with a star in his hand, and they sang hymns in their mouths, and spread the blessings of Arcana along the gravel road, and walked out of the east gate of Entre with dignified steps to the solemn chant of Lang Lang. On the city wall, almost all the soldiers left behind were standing upright, they held a uniform war spear in one hand, a shiny feathered cross-patterned zither-shaped shield in the other, and their iron swords in the sheath at their waists were in perfect harmony with the leather armor they wore with golden entle ornaments, and they looked like a row of mighty golden statues standing on the city walls. The soldiers of Entre who went out on the expedition also came to the outside of the city early to greet them, forming a phalanx. Led by the centurion of the phalanx, they made way outside the city gate on the east side of the Entle, and when they saw the diocesan bishop and priest who had walked out of the east gate, they knew that the time for the expedition was approaching. They just waited quietly for the Earl of the Red Boar of Entre and his knightly guards who were about to leave the city, and quietly listened to the sound of blessings spread from the Book of Arcana, "Fighting in the land of hope, overcoming difficulties and dangers, her blessings are like a mother's call, and the crown of glory is born on her head, and the halo of holiness rises from her feet." ”

The blessings of Bishop Ann Cassilian and the priests have not yet fallen, and the Earl of the Red Boar finally appeared in everyone's field of vision on his back on his "Fat Bob", and his left and right sides were followed by the two brothers Jon and Sean, who were selected to go to the expedition, Jon and Sean habitually led his red velvet cloak, in order to prevent accidents, their mounts "Bull" and "Cow" have been trained for a long time to keep pace with the Earl's favorite war horse "Fat Bob", Wynne and Jon were then surrounded by 20 heavily armored knights in plate armor, who were the Earl of Entle's personal guards, and they marched in line like a guard of honour marching in unison to the orderly phalanx, and the centurions of the phalanx immediately raised their spears and spears, and under the shout of a high salute, they led all the soldiers to touch their chests with one hand and kneel on one knee.

"My great Lord Entle, all the soldiers will be reviewed by you, and your army is ready for your mobilization." The centurions and the soldiers behind them raised their heads and puffed out their chests.

"May the goddess Arcana bless you, my loyal soldiers." Count Red Boar and his knightly guards walked to the front of the final phalanx, he turned his horse and waved his hand at the soldiers, Wynne and Jon sounded the silver horn of the expedition, and the solemn sound of the horn of the expedition was heard from the east gate of the city of Entre to the far side of the plain.

Jim, the son of Sherlock, the former Baron of Woodbank, in the camp on the Earl's River, threw away his ponytail pen, and he hurried out of the tent, looking in the direction of Entle, and then shouted, "Listen, it's the horn of the march from the direction of Entle!" All the mobilized soldiers of Woodbank are ready to go with the Earl's camp! ”

"All hands on!" Dyer, the courtier of Baroness Elaine, was excitedly giving the order to go on the expedition, and then he bowed his head to the sound of the trumpet with one hand on his chest.

"The time has come to plunder the finances for His Excellency! Bring our weapons! Crow, Baron Guard's military governor, turned over and got on his horse, and the Gaeldes responded to it.

The personal army of Hunter Untelschnett, Earl of the Red Boar, joined forces with his assembled vassals, and at the foot of the Ella Mountains they marched in a long line of serpents that would facilitate the march towards the countydom of Yafenburg, which had been held by the House of Eastem since the time of the Grimns. They walked and stopped, walking in the journey like victors.

They had adopted a long serpentine formation that was conducive to marching, but the speed of the march was not flattering, and they had only marched 30 miles in a day, and at that rate it would take at least three days to see the waters of Santa Kana.

The Earl of the Red Boar, who was sleeping peacefully in the tent, was suddenly awakened by the sound of footsteps outside the commander's tent, and he lifted the curtain of the tent to look out, and the adjutant Jon and Sean, whose hands were covered in blood, were walking towards him with a group of soldiers with a group of infantry dressed in tattered Aven armor.

"I'm so sorry that we woke you up, Your Excellency." Jon touched the Earl's chest with one hand, knelt on one knee, and then turned to the few Yafin soldiers behind him who were tied up with flowers, and said, "This is the bandit entrenched in your cave in Ella Mountain. These are probably the soldiers of Yafen who were defeated and fled a year ago, and my brother Sean and I destroyed the cave where the bandits were entrenched during the night watch, leaving a few of them alive, and the guy I knocked out his front teeth was the bandit leader there. ”

"Oh, finally I didn't eat white food anymore. Count on your brains, Jon, and seeing that you two brothers have blood on their hands, it seems that this unexpected hunt was very pleasant. Stake them into my account, and I'll ask these annoying little ones how much gold they have stolen from me in my territory. The fat body turned around and walked into the commander's tent, and sat on the main seat in the commander's tent.

"Kneel down for His Excellency the Earl!" Jon and Sean turned behind the Arfin soldiers who were in the tent, kicking each of them in the calf.

"Yo yo yo my minions, don't mistreat these poor little creatures like this. You both played them all badly. Earl Red Boar teased Jon and Sean, and pointed to the Yafen soldier who had his front teeth knocked out, "Judging by what you are wearing, it once looked like a low-ranking officer in the Arfen army who resembled the position of centurion"

"Your Excellency, don't kill us, don't kill us, we'll say anything." The junior officer, who had had one of his front teeth knocked out, kept kowtowing to the earl.

"You want to say anything about the little animals in the mountains of Ella, but I didn't hear what you said about the little animals?" Count Hunter of the Red Boar, this pleading and kowtowing to the low-ranking officer of Yafen made his heart happy and refreshed.

"You can't kill me, I'm a relative of Baron Sharp Hill, my name is Pryor Sharp." The junior officer shuddered with nervousness, trying to prove his worth by his last name.

"It's a pity that Sharp's collar was taken back by Segal, and the Sharp family is no longer noble. If they still do, I'd be interested in asking them for some ransom. Now stationed in Sharp's territory is the Karand's Axe Barbarian, whose chief is called - Odianese? Ah, that's a mother-in-law's name, Theoannis? In short, listen to his mother's mouth. Oh, how pathetic - you poor little creature probably doesn't have any use to me. I think you're talking about what you've seen and heard in the Ancients. Cave Man. The red boar with a meaty face snorted, full of murderous intent.

"No, no. I must be valuable to you, your honorable lord! Listen to me - although I am a member of the Sharp family, I am only a side branch of him, and I have a long relationship with the Sharp family. I admire your resourcefulness and resourcefulness, I was once a soldier who followed the arrogant little lord of the Easthem family, we were beaten by your light cavalry a year ago, and we fled in disarray, we chose to abandon this self-esteemed Earl of Yafen, in fact, we have long wanted to join you. Pryor Sharp almost burst into tears, pointing to his fellow tyed-up companions, who nodded faster than the other.

"When death came, I finally thought of the savior. But the Savior will forgive you little creatures. I have a large number of men here, but I don't miss a few of you. And you're still a big centurion, and I remember that there are no vacancies in my army, and you're such a big officer. Count Red Boar held out his little finger, "Unfortunately, little animals, I have lost all interest in what you say. Jon, Sean, drag these useless guys out and cut them down. ”

"No, Count, you need me! I have lived in Yafen since I was a child, and I have been in the army for several years, I can take you on the right path to get Yafen, so you can save a lot of time! Save you a lot of food and grass and maintenance salaries! With Arcana on board, you will be able to use me, Lord Count! Pryor Sharp's face was gray, and he looked nervously to the left and right, as if the Entre soldiers who were holding them would draw their long swords at their waists and aim them at his neck.

"Oh, in that case, I'll leave you, Pryor Sharp, and I'll keep Jon and Sean on the lookout. Also, to prevent you from playing tricks or repeating your old tricks, I'm going to drag the rest of your fellows out and cut them down. Earl Hunter gestured with his eyes to the Entle soldiers beside Sean and Jon, and Pryor Sharp's accomplices were immediately dragged out by the group.

"Glorious Earl, wise and wise. How dare I rebel again. I'll be sure to get your army like wings in front of the bastards who can't hold up the wall. Pryor Sharp kept kowtowing, and even the ground made a thumping sound.

"Alright, get up. Pryor Sharp. I've made you a centurion for the time being, but you don't have any soldiers, so you obey the command of my lieutenant, Jon. And put away the cowhide you're about to blow up. The ox has really grown wings and is already flying in the sky. Alright, my sycophants, you all step down for me. The Earl of the Red Boar waved his hand at them, and his fat body propped himself up from the main seat, and after knocking down a jar on the ground, he rushed into the back tent.
