Chapter 82: White Wolf Castle
Inlaid leather armor is made of elastic soft leather, reinforced with dense metal rivets on the top. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoDue to the dense metal inlay, it is naturally superior in defense to ordinary leather armor. At the same time, the weight is not as heavy as that of metal armor, and since the joints are soft and soft, it does not hinder movement. Archers, light infantry, and light cavalry, as well as other classes that require more agile mobility, are popular with this type of equipment. At the same time, because the cost is relatively low, it is very popular among mercenaries and soldiers.

……
While the people were excited, admired, hated, or disagreed about the battle the night before, Dane was standing pale in the harbor of Shawan Harbor with a hood large enough to cover most of his head, and watched the Longsail slowly sail away from the harbor and head south.
"Let's go too." The person standing next to him, dressed in the same attire as him, was naturally Emre, "General Morno is still waiting for you." ”
"Hmm." Dane nodded and turned away.
Half an hour later, the four fast horses left Shawan Harbor and galloped due north to the west.
Originally, Dane naturally wanted to return to Komyrya with his ship and the materials he bought. There are many things on the island, and although most of them are left to his subordinates, as a lord, he can't leave his lair for too long. Although some unpeaceful things happened in Shawan Harbor, they were all settled, and Emre kept his promise quite a bit, and moved a few boxes of gold coins to Dane's ship that night, without letting him lose money.
Therefore, although he really wanted to meet General Morno, who had always valued him and treated him well, in the end, after all considerations, he still chose to refuse Emre's retention.
However, after that, Emre said something that made him change his mind.
If, as Emre said, then this matter is negotiated, then this will be of great help to his future development. Whether it is from the development of Komya Island or the preparation for the future return to the mainland, this is a good opportunity.
Of course, he had to go to Morno to talk about the specific situation, and Emre couldn't be such a big master. So, he agreed, and after a few days of effort, he went to Rotten Wolf Town.
……
It was less than a day, and when the twilight had just fallen, the desolate and corrupt outline of Rotten Wolf Town was already vivid.
Taking a long breath of the familiar wind and sand, a smile appeared on the corner of Dane's mouth.
Without alarming anyone, he and Emre did not enter Rotten Wolf Town, but went to Whitewolf Castle, a fortress on the edge of Rotten Wolf Town.
The White Wolf Fort is the lair of the half-orc warlord Morno who controls Rotten Wolf Town, and if you compare the White Wolf Fort and Marlon Manor, you should know why Marlon occupied the much more prosperous Shawan Port than Rotten Wolf Town, but he is still embarrassed by Morno's step-by-step pressing.
Dane hadn't been to Malone Manor, but had heard of it. It was a rare place of abundance for Schindlaire, near an oasis. After Marlon occupied the place, he built a wall, surrounded the entire oasis, recruited slaves to farm, and built a villa within the wall, and lived a very enjoyable life.
And the White Wolf Fort in front of you, as its name suggests, really seems to be a white wolf in the yellow wind and sand, ready to pounce on the enemy. The castle made of white masonry is no longer so clean because of the baptism of wind and sand, and has been smeared with a layer of burnt yellow, but it looks so vicissitudes and rough.
And Morno, for the last ten years, has been training his army in this desolate castle.
His emblem is a running white wolf, and his army, the White Wolf Guards, is the most elite warrior in the south-eastern region of Sindelare. In particular, in the White Wolf Guard, there was a small number of White Wolf Cavalry Brigade, perhaps only about three hundred people, which made Morno's enemies even more fearful.
Approaching the gates of the White Wolf Castle, Dane saw the White Wolf Cavalry, who had been admired for a long time. Dressed in studded leather armor, they covered most of their bodies with white burqas, while thick, wide scarves covered their necks, muzzles, and noses, revealing only a pair of eyes. This is the standard equipment of the White Wolf Cavalry, and the inlaid leather armor provides good defense without affecting the combat of these agile cavalrymen; The wide and thick burqa prevents Hindlaire's wind and sand from invading the armor.
Two bands of cavalry, riding huge wolves, stood in front of the castle with great training. The gates were wide open, as if waiting for someone.
Naturally, what they were waiting for was Dane and Emre.
The silent cavalry was silent, and there was no sound except for the occasional low roar from the restless wolf.
Walking side by side with Emre, in the passage left by the two teams of white wolf cavalry leading to the castle gates, was like inspecting the army.
An inexplicable emotion rose in Dane's heart, he was enjoying that in his future, would there be such a day when he could walk in his army and accept the attention? The current scene was not enough to satisfy him, he hoped that the two sides were not someone else's army, but truly his own. Moreover, the pomp and circumstance are not big enough, in his imagination, there are thousands of troops to be suitable.
The two rode two war horses, and under the escort of two teams of white wolf cavalry, they slowly walked into the castle. Subsequently, two teams of wolf cavalry followed. The city gate and drawbridge that had been lowered were also slowly pulled up under the trumpet of the soldiers.
The White Wolf Fort was not large, and there were no inhabitants in it, except for more than two thousand warriors and a few blacksmiths, cobblers, and grooms and other workers who served the army, except for Morno and his family.
Handed over to the groom to lead the horseman, Dane led his way to the building at the heart of Castle Whitewolf, which was also the residence of its owner, General Morno.
When I met Morno, it was in his study.
"Hahaha! Dane! Long time no see! I heard that you went to the sea to develop? It's a pity, how many times has Lao Tzu told you to let you come and do with Lao Tzu, and a regiment will bring you a corps, but you just don't listen, you have to go to Nalaoshzi Pohai Island to eat fish! ”
Dane smiled slightly and said, "Everyone has their own ambitions, I would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail." ”
"Tsk, why have you been with that old Baines shit so long?"
Shrugging his shoulders, Dane said, "Isn't he dead now?" ”
"Haha! Sure enough, I know how long that old thing can't stop you! ”
