At night, the Valsam Tower is still brightly lit, and the jagged camp tents are hundreds of meters around the south tower, and under the stone bridge across the White River, there are corpses, snow-covered corpses. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The top floor of the north tower, which was once the chief's bedroom, has been converted into a banquet hall, where dozens of men and women in armor sit together, drinking and eating meat.

"Haha, Koya, are you relieved this time?"

The speaker was a Nord man sitting in the first seat, holding a whole roast leg of lamb in one hand and a bottle of Aalto in the other, and drinking it with his head up, if Sawyer recognized this man, he would have used all means to break him to pieces.

'Raven' Blade 'Sigru', who escaped from the Battle of the Western Watchtower, disappeared, but unexpectedly returned to the Snowman, and became the dominant player in this bandits' feast.

"Thanks to Brother Xiong's help, I helped my group of brothers avenge it."

Koya, the original leader of the Valsam Tower, sat at the end of the door, with three points of gratitude and seven points of bitter smile on his face, although he avenged a group of brothers, but there were only seventeen of his subordinates left, although all of them were elite, but the combined strength was not as good as a medium-sized bandit group, and this hall was full of leaders of large bandit groups from all over the world, and he could sit here or save the face of "Brother Xiong".

Brother Xiong that Koya said is sitting on the left side of Sigru, and he is nicknamed 'Ice Bear', as for what his real name is, no one has long remembered it, and the Ice Bear who occupies the ruins of Jincha is not a nameless person in the entire sky, although there are less than one hundred and sixty people under his command, but those who can survive in the poor mountains and bad waters of the White Land Collar are not weak hands, among them, there are one hundred and twenty elites, ace combat power, even when the gray crow of Sigru has not yet been destroyed, he does not dare to take the initiative to provoke him.

Sitting on the right of Sigru are the three leaders of the Bandit Canyon, although this time the Bandit Canyon only took more than a hundred elites, but the reputation of the Bandit Canyon is too great, so everyone made him the third in command of this coalition.

The other people here are from different territories, belonging to the leaders of fifteen large bandit groups, and they are all well-known guys in their respective territories, each of them has two or three hundred people, not to mention two or three hundred people, plus the hands of Ice Bear and Bandit Canyon, there are more than five thousand people in the hall alone!

Coupled with the small and medium-sized bandit groups who were not qualified to participate in this gathering, this 'bandit feast' gathered more than 12,000 bandits!

There are more than 12,000 bandits, and there are still close to 2,000 elite forces here, so it's no wonder that Xue Man didn't dare to take the initiative to attack.

"Hmm, this time I avenged you first, and then it's my turn to settle the score!"

Sigru took a big bite of the leg of lamb and laughed hideously, his sharp gaze looking west, which was the direction of Snowy City.

"Haha, don't worry, Boss Sigru, let's surround them for a few days first, it won't be long before the group of noble lords can't wait, as long as they dare to go out of the city...... Hey! ”

Ice Bear laughed a few times and made a gesture to wipe his neck, and the bandit leaders below also laughed, and even a few even clamored to be a robber nobleman.

Sigru didn't stop it, in his opinion, the scale of more than 12,000 people is enough to sweep away the entire Xue Man Territory, and when the time comes, he can also be a robber lord, so that the group of robber leaders below will also become nobles!

As the ice bear expected, the life of those castles and watchtowers in the snow man collar is not easy, there is not much food in the castle and outpost, but they dare not reduce the army's rations, it is estimated that it will not take a week to eat all the food reserves, and now only the life of Huder Manor and Snow Man City is better, but several farms outside the city walls have been looted by robbers.

And Loristade, who was not affected by this 'bandits' feast, was also besieged when the robbers sent people into the snow man's territory a few days ago, although they held the city wall under the stubborn resistance of a group of veterans, but they also paid a lot of food and money to send the besieging bandits away, if they still don't get support, it will be difficult to survive this winter with only the remaining food.

"Your Excellency, Earl Heder's reply has arrived!"

In the Snow City Dragon Night Palace, Avenxi handed over a scroll of letters to Lord Barguff, the Great Shore, who opened the scroll and glanced at it, but his frown furrowed even deeper.

"The situation is not good, there are 3,000 people outside the Hedel Manor, and the commander has not yet found out."

Bargulf rubbed his eyebrows, and then the chief of the guard, Ireles, also walked in with a raven: "Lord Lord, news from the Valsam Tower. ”

"Read it."

Barguf held his forehead with one hand and waved a few times with the other, there was so much bad news nowadays that he really didn't want to see it himself.

Irelais took the letter from the raven's lap and read it: "There are five thousand bandits from the Valtham Tower, from the Snowman, the White Land, the East, the Rift, and the Yar Border...... The conductor is suspicious, the Sigru who is suspected of being a gray crow! ”

"Higlo of the Crows?"

After hearing this name, Barguf also froze: "Isn't he dead?" ”

Irelais explained, "My lord, according to Lord Earl Heder, after the battle of the Western Watchtower, no body was found in Sigru, and it can only be determined that the Crow Bandits have been annihilated. ”

"This guy is really a thief! By the way, who was with Lord Sawyer last time? Barguf rubbed the corners of his brow and asked suddenly.

"It's the Nodia of the Western Watchtower, my lord."

"Western Watchtower......" Barguf tapped on the arm of his chair, "How's going on over there?" ”

"I haven't received any crows from the western watchtower, and it is estimated that the crows from the western watchtower have been shot down by bandits, but according to the scouts, the westernest watchtower is still besieged and has not yet been breached."

"It's better to have no news than to be breached, Avensi, how long can the food in the city last?"

Barguf sighed and asked about other news, and the whole hall was dead.

Similar things are still happening at Hurdle Manor, the Western Watchtower, and other places, and the entire Snowman Territory is shrouded in the clouds of war, forcing the nobles to make decisions.

In the early hours of the next morning, when the sky was still gray, a cavalry squad quietly left Xueman, evaded the robber spies from the outer city, and ran all the way in the direction of the White River.

Passing by the ransacked Pedagia farm, a young horseman slowed down his mount, but the veteran behind him immediately whipped his horse, forcing it to speed up again.

"But...... We're snowy knights, aren't we? Shouldn't we protect the people of the snowy man? ”

The young knight's eyes were full of unbearability, especially when he saw the surviving woman curled up naked on the haystack and shivering, neither the former knight's oath nor his conscience could make him sit idly by.

"You're not going to be there soon."

The Viscount, who was protected by the knight in the middle, turned his head, sneered, and turned his head to look at the woman curled up on the haystack shivering, and actually smacked his lips and praised: "Tsk, these robbers have unexpectedly good taste." ”

cluck

The young knight gritted his teeth, for fear that he would not be able to resist slashing the young viscount to death with a sword, and the veteran next to him also glared at the young knight as if warning, warning him not to be troublesome.

However, the young viscount refused to give up, and continued to point to the ransacked farmstead: "But these robbers are still too careless, if it were me, I would kill these women directly after playing, lest they accidentally run away, and it is better to strangle them, so that the corpses can play again...... What are you doing! ”

Listening to the young viscount's "high talk", the young knight finally couldn't help but erupt, he kicked the horse's belly hard with both feet, pulled out his long sword and slashed at the viscount, but then there was a crisp sound of "ding", and the long sword was stopped by the veteran who had been staring at him next to him.

Glancing at the frightened young viscount with resentment, the young knight grabbed the reins, and the cavalry around the nobleman had already drawn their weapons, and he had no chance to kill this scumbag.

The short encounter seemed to wake up the robbers in the farmhouse, and a naked robber yawned out, and the young viscount did not want to be troubled, gave the knight a resentful look, and quickly left with the rest of the cavalry.

The young knight did not chase him, he turned his horse's head and rushed to the farmhouse, pierced the robber in the chest with a sword, and then flew down, and grabbed the robber's throat with both hands, sealing the robber's screams in his throat.

The two women huddled on the haystack also woke up, it seemed that it was a mother and daughter, the girl looked to be only thirteen or fourteen years old, and the young knight scolded the scum again, this time scolding the robber who ransacked the farmhouse.

The girl looked at the robber who fell in a pool of blood and was about to scream, but was covered by the fast-eyed knight: "Shh, I'm a snowy knight, I'm here to save you!" ”

While comforting the girl, the knight gestured to the woman next to him to follow him, while the knight himself picked up the girl and walked in the direction of the warhorse.

There were several more shouts from the farmhouse, as if calling for the robber who had been slain, but the knight did not dare to delay, and took the girl in his arms and mounted his horse, and pulled the woman to the horse and let her sit behind him.

At this time, the voices in the farmhouse became noisy, and the shouting and scolding were mixed with the sound of holding weapons, and the knight did not dare to slack off, and fled in the direction of Xueman with the two women while the robbers had not chased them out.

Almost at the same time, at the exit of the sewer on the west side of the ash swamp fortress, more than a dozen elite warriors protected a nobleman and escaped, the warriors quickly dispersed under the leadership of the nobles, and after determining the safety of the surroundings, the nobles knocked on the iron fence of the sewer, and then, hundreds of soldiers crawled out of the sewers one after another, forming a line of defense with the previous elite warriors, and the last to come out were nearly a hundred craftsmen.

They were the surviving artisans and guards of the Grey Swamp Fortress, and after a week of siege, they had used up all the medicine in the castle and eaten more than ninety percent of the food, and the commander had to give the order to abandon the castle and flee to Hurdl Manor.

It's just that they need to speed up, as soon as the day dawns, the robbers outside the city will find that they have fled, and it will not take much time for the robbers to loot the castle, and they will soon be chased by a large number of robbers.

Similar things happened in other noble manors, these nobles either led the remnants of the army to break through the night and fled all the way to the direction of Xueman City, or took gold and silver and secretly escaped from the encirclement under the protection of their henchmen, and fled all the way to the west of Xuemanling and even other territories, if nothing else, Xuemanling would never see these nobles again.

After dawn, the feast of the robbers will begin.
