Chapter 443: Take the initiative

The wind howled high in the sky.

Borch slowed down and kept pace with the fire dragon, flying for more than two hours in a row, entering the territory of the Duchy of Morth, Wren sensed that the dragon's physical strength was a little weak, so he found a desert and landed.

After more than forty fiery dragons landed, they gasped for breath.

The Ultramarines jumped to the ground, their weight plus armor and weapons weighing more than a thousand pounds, which was also a great burden on the fire dragon.

Borch turned back into human form, took out a box of gold, opened it and counted it happily, not the slightest tiredness, but even more excited.

"Boss, how much will I get this time?" he asked, grabbing a handful of golden dragons expectantly.

The Ultramarines pricked up their ears as well.

Wren has always been generous, and every time he goes out to fight, he will give everyone a share of the treasure and booty, and Sicarius and others, who followed him first, have saved a lot of money, and are the richest people in the entire Macurag tribe.

This time, the Ultramarines didn't contribute much, and they were only responsible for transporting, but with so much gain, even if they only took a small part, it was very considerable.

Wren had already made arrangements and said: "If you contribute more this time, you will take 200,000 golden dragons, and each of the extreme warriors will have 5,000 golden dragons." ”

"Long live the boss!"

The Ultramarines cheered, earning five thousand gold for just one run, which they couldn't even dream of before.

Borch was also very happy, and his trichromatic pupils were full of joy.

Since following Wren for just a few months, his wealth has been growing rapidly, the small treasury is getting bigger and bigger, and making money is easy and safe. In contrast, in order to steal the family of Baron Buckley in Jupelle's mountain city, he planned for several years, recruited people to form a mercenary group, and worked hard to almost overturn in the end.

Now it seems that being controlled by Wren with the Soul Ring to become his mount is not necessarily a bad thing, but the greatest luck in his life as a dragon!

Borch's eyes narrowed and he continued to count the money.

Wren's soul eye sensed the change in his mood and smiled to himself.

It is indeed an excellent means to buy people's hearts with money, but it depends on who will use it and whether they have the strength to protect their money.

Duke Danse was used to this trick, but he didn't think clearly about the stakes, but suffered from it.

Wren's gaze swept to a small figure, and Din Laj was sitting alone on a stone next to him, silent, seemingly completely oblivious to what was happening around him. Since he left Rock Lion City, he has always been in this state, his soul is gray and white, and he doesn't know what he is thinking.

"Are you alright?" Wren asked, walking over to him.

"My lord, I'm fine. It took two or three seconds for Ding Raj to react, and a smile appeared on his face to hide his frustration, and he smiled: "I haven't congratulated you on conquering the Danse family." ”

"But I don't think you're happy?" Wren shook his head disapprerovingly.

Ding Laji was about to deny it subconsciously, but suddenly remembered that Wren had an ability to see through lies, hesitated for a moment, and asked rhetorically: "My lord, if Duke Dans didn't gather the 10 million golden dragons overnight, or resisted as much as he could, what would you do?"

Wren looked at the Ultramarines around him, and the answer was self-evident.

When I informed the Ultramarines to rush to Rock Lion City last night, I made two preparations, one was to get the money and leave, and the other was to kill people without getting the money.

Duke Dans was clearly aware of his intentions, which is why he was so deferential in the end.

Although Din Laj had guessed in advance, Wren's response startled him, and he opened his mouth but did not speak.

"Do you regret it?"

Wren asked, and without waiting for the other party to reply, he said, "You treat them as family, but they treat you as a monster." Your kindness, in the eyes of Duke Dans, is that you brought disaster to the family, and now they hate you to the bone, and now they are probably cursing you crazy, and it feels very uncomfortable?"

"Yes......" Ding Raj hung his head, "I'm obviously doing it for their good!"

Wren didn't know how to persuade him.

He has the eye of a soul and can see people's true thoughts, except for Koster, who cares a little about Dinkraj in the Danse family, no one else regards Dinkraj as family at all. When Duke Danse saw his own son, there was only disgust and disgust in his emotions, and the color of Linna's soul was even more red and black, as if he had seen an enemy who shared the sky.

Even Coste's concern is wavering, far less loving than his sister Lina.

When Dinkraghi seriously injured Linna, Koster's attitude changed unconsciously, and he never said a word to him again.

is like Qiu Yun's family, who have suffered countless humiliations, and Ding Laji is still thinking about them.

It's masochistic addiction, right?

Wren took a closer look at Dinklaj, this guy is not only physically deformed, but also psychologically deformed, and it is estimated that he has "Stockholm syndrome".

His impression of Din Laj is still good, he is a man with affection and righteousness, more trustworthy than the vast majority of people in the world, but he is too deep in the family, if he doesn't pull it, Din Laj will be ruined in the hands of his family sooner or later, and even his life will be lost.

The bell needs to be tied to the bell, but this string of bell ropes has been tied into a dead knot, and it is almost impossible to untie it.

Wren's heart moved, and if he couldn't solve it, he just burned it.

"Lord Lord?" Ding Raji let out a low cry with a chilling smile on his face when he saw that Wren was thinking.

Wren came back to his senses, but he didn't reveal his thoughts, and after resting for half an hour, the fire dragon recovered most of his strength and continued to take off.

After three breaks along the way, in the afternoon, the city of Balosk appeared in front of it.

Wren saw in the distance that the army outside Fort Rushing had already set off and left the city of Baloske, leaving only a part of the force to guard the port and the city. He communicated with Emilys on the way, and the army went according to plan, without waiting for himself, and would catch up with the Ultramarines later.

"Fly to Longjing Island. ”

At Wren's command, Borch and the Wyverns turned to the sea, and soon arrived at Dragon Crystal Island, where they landed in the island's ancient castle.

The Ultramarines unloaded the chests and moved them into the castle hall and piled them around the teleportation circle.

Under the curious gaze of the wizards and centaurs guarding the teleportation array, Wren opened the portal and led to the floating city of Wezeland, where the Ultramarines moved all the boxes as quickly as possible. On the other side of the teleportation array, Leslin had already led a team of Ultramarines who stayed in Glamorgan to wait, took over this huge fortune, and moved directly into the wizarding tower in Wren.

The whole process took less than ten minutes, and 10 million golden dragons fell into the bag safely. Scale Literature

Wren has a preliminary plan for what the money will be used, but he will have to wait until the end of the war.

He didn't stop at Longjing Island, and took off immediately after turning off the teleportation.

All the way to the east.

In the evening, Wren caught up with Emilys' army.

Looking down from the sky, an army of tens of thousands of people marched mightily on the ground, more than half of them were centaurs, who ran in the front, and there were many centaur scout teams, always running back and forth to explore the way in front to avoid being ambushed by the enemy.

The sturgeon warriors of the Riverbend Legion followed closely behind, and their numbers were small, only five hundred, but this was already half the strength of the Riverbend Legion. The army under the command of Duke Fischer was dominated by the transcendental, and his vassal lords also sent their own private armies, forming a transcendent army of nearly 4,000 men.

These transcendents do not have a uniform class or equipment, and groups of dozens or hundreds follow at the back of the line.

The most conspicuous of the 10,000-strong army are the two extraordinary legions.

The Lance Knights and the Scaly Guards, who were close in number, numbered less than two hundred, stood by Emilys and the wizards.

Wren watched in the air for a moment.

The way of war in the world of Erenus, because of the existence of transcendent beings, is very different from the previous life. With the exception of the Lance Knights and the Scale Guards, most of the Extraterrestrial Beings do not have mounts, and their horses are not as fast as their own, so they prefer to move on foot.

The vast majority of the Transcendental Legions are infantry, but they are fast and nimble in their marches.

In just one day, the army left the territory of the Duchy of Fisher, passed through the territory of Cold River City, which had been wiped out by the Ultramarines, and crossed the border into the territory of the Lauberdire family.

I only rested twice during the whole journey, and when it was just getting dark, I arrived at the first combat destination.

This is the castle of one of the vassal lords of the Lauberdir family, a baron.

Outside the castle was a small city with a population of only 30,000 or 40,000 people, 5,000 centaurs surrounded the small city, the walls of more than six meters high were vulnerable in front of the army of transcendents, and there were not many guards, and the city gate was opened from the inside before it was even attacked.

Emilys sent a thousand centaurs into the city and surrounded the castle.

Surprisingly, the castle did not put up any resistance.

Several old guards came out of the castle tremblingly, and told him that the Baron Kiribin had taken his family with him a few days ago and fled from the city.

The baron took not only his own private army, but also most of his precious treasures, leaving only an empty city. Many residents fled with their families overnight in fear of dying in the war, leaving those behind in fear.

The leaders of the army looked at each other, especially the nobles of Congatro, who were very surprised.

Give up the fiefdom, abandon the city and flee.

This is unacceptable in Congartro, and once the lord makes this decision, it is almost equivalent to giving up his right to rule, breaking the oath of the vassal, and not being able to account for his vassal and losing the support of the lords, because the lord has the duty to protect the people.

In the history of Congatero, most of the lords who abandoned the city and fled did not end well, even worse than insisting on resistance.

Failure of resistance, even if it is captured by the enemy, is understandable.

There is a tacit understanding between the major families, and they generally do not kill noble lords at will, and after the war, most lords can return to their territories and continue to be nobles.

Alysis stood in the empty hall of the castle, looking at the trembling servants, old and sick, all abandoned.

Her expression was solemn, and such an abnormal situation was probably not good news.

"Pass the order, spend the night in Oak City tonight. ”

Duke Fischer and Vallogan took the order, arranged for the army to camp outside the city, and at the same time took over the city, sent people to pacify the inhabitants, and arranged for night patrols to avoid the enemy's sneak attack at night.

After dinner, they discussed in the study of the Baron's castle.

Under the bright crystal lamp, Emily sat on top, and there was a hint of fatigue on her beautiful face, and although she hid it well, Wren noticed it, and could not help but feel a little strange in her heart. She is a fourteenth-level dragon vein apostle, a legendary middle-level transcendent, and she hasn't fought for a day, how can she be tired?

He secretly observed it with the eye of his soul, but found nothing unusual.

"Valogen, what's your news?"

Emily rubbed her eyebrows slightly, looked at her intelligence director, and asked, "Have you found out where Baron Kiribin fled?"

"Your Majesty," Valrogan replied, standing up, "I interrogated the guards, and after comparing them with the news reported by the spies who had been hiding in the city, Baron Kiribin should have gone to Stormfury Castle. ”

"Stormfury Castle!" Duke Fisher was puzzled, "Doesn't he dare to go to Stormfury Castle for fear of being held accountable?"

If your vassals give up their territory and run to Runliu Fort before they fight, no matter what the reason, they will definitely be arrested and tortured first, or even cut off their heads directly! This is the bottom line of the noble lords, even if they dare to give up their fiefdoms, what else can't they do?

Baron Kiribin is a vassal of the House of Lauberdire, and escaping to Stormfury is a suicide!

Valogen shook his head, "This Baron Kiribin is not the kind of stupid person, he has a high prestige among the people and is deeply popular, unlike the kind of lord who voluntarily gives up his fiefdom and puts himself and his family in an extremely disadvantageous situation. ”

"There must be a more important reason for him to give up his territory. Valrogan meant something.

Duke Fischer suddenly thought of a possibility.

"You mean, Baron Kiribin was instructed by the Lauberdier family, and that's why he dared to give up his fiefdom and fled with his family. ”

Valrogan nodded, "I can't think of any other reason than that. ”

"That's not good news. "If I'm not mistaken, the Lauberdir family is ready to concentrate all the forces in their territory to fight us in Stormfury. They must be aware of the battle situation in Rushing Castle, and the existence of the wizard group, no matter how many people there are, they will not be able to hold Stormfury Castle, and there is a high probability that they will ambush somewhere, or sneak up on our city from behind. ”

It is never a good thing to let the enemy choose the location of the war.

The Lauberdier family's plan was not inadequate, from defense to attack, from passive to active, and their own army was delayed in Balosk for a few days, so that they were better prepared, and now they do not know where to hide.

The Duke of Fischer was so startled that he almost jumped.

If the Lauberdier family went around to the rear and attacked the city of Balosk as quickly as possible, it would be impossible to hold it with the strength they remained.
