In the conference room on the top floor of the western watchtower, several figures sat silently around the round table, no one spoke, everyone waited, waiting for an expected news. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After a long time, the silence of the room was broken by the sound of footsteps, and a knight stepped out of the darkened staircase and came to the man sitting in the first seat.

"My lord, the crow has retreated."

The simple six words were like lightning in the dark night, suddenly tearing through the darkness called silence, and the figures around the round table breathed a sigh of relief, and finally, they waited for the news they expected.

"Everyone go out of the city and gather all the corpses inside the walls! Notify Team 3 to take control of the Xueman garrison and prohibit any soldiers from Xueman from leaving the camp! ”

"Yes! My lord! ”

The knight clenched his right hand into a fist, lightly clasped his left chest, and retreated into the darkness.

"It seems that your plan has succeeded." The figure in the first seat chuckled, and his tone was much lighter.

"yes, it went well, didn't it? It's up to you, little one. ”

"Guaranteed to get the job done."

The small figure wrapped in a black robe stood up and gave a nondescript military salute, causing a chuckle, and everyone was a lot more relaxed.

"After that, it's a damn wait."

……

"Damn! How can there be skeletons! ”

Sigru looked at the half-kneeling figure in front of him, but the wounds and blood on the other party's body gave him nowhere to vent his anger, so he could only swing the sharp axe in his hand fiercely into the air.

As the only remaining founder of the Grey Raven Mercenary Regiment, the 'Crow Blade' Sigru has not encountered this situation for a long time, after the second 'Gray Fox' joined the mercenary group, he planned the 'rebellion' that shocked Xue Man, and Xue Man did not send troops to attack them after they announced their surrender, and Xue Man did not send troops to attack them after they announced their surrender.

Later, they transformed into the Gray Raven Bandit Group, and they still developed smoothly, although they were occasionally unhappy with Xueman's clamping, but the strength of the team was visible to the naked eye.

Under the leadership of him and the gray fox, it only took five years for the mercenary group to be fully equipped with leather armor, and at this time, several other large bandit groups in the Xueman territory, and more than half of the low-level personnel could only be equipped with cotton armor, or even cloth armor with little defense at all.

Since then, the Crow Bandit Group has been redressed, absorbed, and eliminated again and again, until last year, the elite of the Bandit Group have all put on iron armor, and their weapons have been replaced with stronger and sharper steel weapons, and the number has expanded all the way to an unprecedented number of more than 800 people!

Finally, the gray crow, who claimed to be sitting on more than a thousand people, couldn't help it, not only because of the ambition, but also because of the income brought by the gray swamp fortress, it was already difficult to maintain the expenses of more than eight hundred people!

As for why among the Western Watchtower and Loristed, the Western Watchtower was chosen, instead of the Loristed Fortress established by the group of veterans, it was not because of the habit of approaching, but more because of the consideration of interests, after all, there was a two-to-three day distance between Loristed and the Grey Swamp Fortress, and it was difficult to deal with it in the event of an accident.

Throwing the memory out of his head, Higru's eyes filled with resentment again, and according to the robber who had escaped just now, a large number of skeletons suddenly appeared in the Grey Swamp fortress, and before everyone could react, they began to slaughter.

In just ten minutes, almost everyone, including the gray fox, was killed inside the fortress, and if he and his companions hadn't gotten up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, they wouldn't have escaped the fate of being slaughtered, and even then, the companions who broke through with him died halfway through.

"Damn, the crows belong, gather now!"

Sigru flicked his axe again, but a henchman beside him was a little worried: "Chief, then the other bandit groups ......"

"How many other bandits? Hmph, those cannon fodder sent out today, all of them died, and our people only lost less than a hundred people, what are they doing with it? ”

Sigru sneered, in this siege battle, in addition to the Grey Raven bandit group under his command, he also invited two large bandit groups from the liar's lair and the rest place of Rydoran, as well as nine scattered small bandit groups, with a total number of more than 1,500 people.

In this afternoon's battle, several small bandit groups killed more than 300 people, only a few dozen elite bandits remained, and two large bandit groups also died nearly 200 people.

"Send a message to those two families, let them continue to surround the western watchtower, and I will leave all the elite members to you, don't make any trouble."

"Yes, don't worry, Chief!"

Seeing his henchmen nodding, Higru gave a bloodthirsty grin, took most of the ordinary members, and rushed to the Grey Swamp Fort overnight.

……

"Report to your lordship, the spies have just come to report, 'Crowblade' Sigru has rushed to the Ash Swamp Fort with more than 300 people, and now the enemy stationed outside is still about 700 people!"

"Seven Hundred ......"

Sirika frowned, this number of enemies is still too much for her own side, unless she gives up the western guard tower and breaks through regardless of damage, but if you do this, then the previous efforts will be in vain.

"Let's wait and see, at least, we have a day."

Sawa took a sip of hot water, the expression on his face was very calm, although there were still nearly a thousand people on the other side, and there were formed spellcaster troops, but if you want to capture the western watchtower, you will have to pay at least half of the casualties, once Rick has disposed of the more than five hundred corpses after a day, even if he only handles most of them, he can firmly defend the western watchtower.

"Well, let's keep waiting."

Celica sighed slightly, this passive feeling made her feel very aggrieved.

……

Old Huck is forty-three years old this year, a standard veteran in the Xueman army, and although his strength does not meet the requirements of elite troops, it can be regarded as the top level in the ordinary regular army.

This year is the seventh year that the elder Huck has been stationed in the Western Watchtower, and he has fought more than a dozen battles in the Western Watchtower, and he even has a dragon slaying badge on his armor, which is an honor brought to him by the dragon attack more than a month ago.

Seven years had left the elder Huck very familiar with the area around the western watchtower, including the besieging Crow bandits, and naturally, the army that controlled them.

The Hurdle Guard, directly under the Countess of Snowman, known as the Valkyrie, had taken control of the official army stationed in the western watchtower after repelling the attacking bandits last night, but none of them objected.

"Who's going to object now?"

Old Huck smiled bitterly and looked at the small barracks, the original team of more than 170 people is now less than 50 people left, nearly 100 robes were killed in battle, more than 20 old guys never woke up when they got drunk last night, and most of the remaining people became walking corpses under the huge blow.

Sighing again, old Huck stared at the glass in front of him, not knowing what to think.

"Something is wrong."

Staring at the glass, old Huck thought.

"Wait! Corrugation? How can there be ripples in a wine glass?! ”

Old Huck was startled, reached out and grabbed the quiver on the table and fell to the ground......

……

"My lord, the latest news, Ravenblade Sigru has returned."

The knight respectfully handed over a report, but his eyes couldn't help but look at Celica sitting at the table, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone into the room through the window, reflecting a bloody glow in Sirika's long golden hair.

"I forgot the rules again. How many people did he bring back? ”

Celika didn't look at the report, but put it on the table with her backhand, she had always disliked this kind of wasting time, she had to write a report even though the scout was down there, and if it was any other time, the knight who came up to deliver the letter and the scout who sent it out would not be punished.

"Your Excellency, Sigru...... It was a person who came back. ”

The knight's voice was hesitant, clearly incredulous at the scout's report.

"Alone?"

Sirika frowned again, what the hell did this Sigru want to do? Did he think that with 700 men from outside alone, he could capture the western watchtower?

"You go down first."

Looking at the knight who was still standing on the side, Celica waved her hand a little impatiently, she was worried about the problem of fighting for the first time, Sigru's actions made her unable to understand, she couldn't see through, the more she thought about it, the more irritated she became.

Sawyer next to him was also a little irritable, looking at the defense map of the western guard tower over and over again, placing himself in the position of the gray crow, and comparing the strength of the two sides, but found that he couldn't think of how to take a mere 700 people and capture the western guard tower with 500 elites.

Gradually, Sawyer also became a little irritable, and threw aside the defense map in his hand as if he was angry, and his eyes inadvertently swept over a map.

Western Watchtower, Ash Swamp Fortress, Silent Moon City (Silent Moon Camp), Snowy City......

Looking at the irregular quadrilateral shape enclosed by the four locations, Sawyer always felt that something was missing in the middle......

"What's missing?"

Sawyer muttered unconsciously, and his mind lit up, and he suddenly remembered an easter egg in the game: in a small lake in Snowman City and Camp Silent Moon, there was a skeleton arm that surfaced, clutching a sword......

Sword in the lake? Small lakes?

Sawyer was stunned, there was always a glimmer of spiritual light wandering in his mind, but he couldn't grasp it, and after thinking for a long time, his eyes looked at the map hanging on the side again, the blank irregular quadrilateral.

Finally, a painful memory came to his heart, and the pain in the memory seemed to be reflected in reality, Sawyer couldn't help but reach out and touch his back, but his eyes lit up, and he stood up suddenly, and blurted out a place name......

……

The knight walked down from the top of the watchtower, looked at the scout who was still waiting by the door, walked over with a wry smile, patted the scout on the shoulder, the countess's reprimand was expected by him, but there were too many doubts about the news brought by the scout, and several knights discussed it before deciding to let the scout write a detailed report, so as not to miss any information.

Holding the scout's shoulders and leaving the watchtower, all the way to the bottom of the city wall, the knight was about to say something to comfort the colleague, when a low whistling sound suddenly sounded, the knight's pupils shrank, and he slammed the scout next to him to the ground.

In the next second, rocks the size of his head rained down from the sky......
