Chapter 585: The Restless Iron Mountain Lord (First Update)
The Mine Territory is located in the southernmost part of the Kingdom of Borodin.
There are abundant iron ore veins in the mine territory, and Lord Tie Shan has grown up on this land since he was a child, and his body has been tempered with incomparably strong iron ore at a young age, and a strong body comparable to ore has been tempered.
Iron ore is the most important resource of the mine territory, and its appearance not only allows all the knights of the mine territory to have thick plate armor for self-defense, but also can use the forged steel block as the territory to pay taxes to the kingdom, and even with several surrounding territories, they can get enough ore at a cheap price in the mine territory to build the equipment of the knights.
It's just that now this Iron Mountain Lord, who has always been calm and composed, comparable to a mine, is anxiously walking around the lord's mansion, and this afternoon the mine steward sent new news, that kind of huge insects have changed from two or three to a dozen before, which makes him still able to sit still.
Not to mention the start of the mine now, there are no living people within a radius of five miles, and several mining villages living nearby have even evacuated from the mines with the knights who protect them, and it has now become the territory of the huge insects, not to mention people, they even eat several horses.
Iron Mountain is now very worried, worried that the knights who went to several other territories did not bring back good news, worried about the safety of the people and knights near the mine, and worried about the steel that will be handed over to the kingdom in the near future, and now there are still 20% short.
If the work can't start within half a month, he has to find a way to smelt a batch of built equipment, and re-melt it into steel to deal with the summer supply first, which is very unwise, but Tieshan has no choice, he sent his subordinates there to crusade against those insects, and as a result, he suffered heavy casualties, so he can only find a way to bring reinforcements and then make plans.
"My lord, the knights who went to the Rose Realm have returned."
The butler of the Lord's Mansion hurriedly came in from outside the door, bringing with him what Iron Mountain had been waiting for.
"Bring it quickly."
Iron Mountain strode outside the house, stood at the door and looked outside, it was now three hours of night, this was the first team of knights to return, the mine leader was closest to the rose leader, and the other two teams of knights were estimated to not return until after the early morning.
Several knights that Wang Yan saw in the Rose Arena hurriedly came, and saluted Tie Shan from a few meters away: "I've seen Lord Lord." ”
"Hurry up, how about it, did the Rose Knight promise to send someone to help?" Tie Shan's face was full of anticipation.
"Back to the lord's words, Lord Rose has already agreed, and she will personally bring someone here tomorrow."
Seeing that the lord was so anxious, these knights who had set off at noon were full of doubts, why did the lord seem even more anxious than before.
"That's good, the number of those bugs has multiplied several times, and now I've evacuated all the people near the mine, the Rose Knight is a magician apprentice, do you recognize what that bug is?"
Tie Shan said with a bitter face that he only got the news this afternoon, and the knights who set off in advance also showed a sad expression, before a few giant insects blew up the mine, and now the number of more than a dozen is not necessarily able to be solved by the hundred-man team in the past.
"Lord Rose didn't see what it was, but, Lord Lord, we met with an official magician in the Rose Leader, and he pointed out that this insect is like something called a Gu Killing Worm, which is said to be active in groups, without much consciousness, the big ones eat the small ones, and the small ones eat each other and grow, and they are very evil creatures."
"Killing Gu worms!" Tie Shan was shocked, and as soon as he heard the name, he knew that it was a very terrible thing.
After listening to the knight's account, his face became ugly: "That's true, the news reported by the consul of the mine this afternoon is this, he saw a group of white larvae that were biting each other and devouring their kind. ”
"That's good." Several knights were full of sorrow, they were all going to leave for the mine tomorrow, this time all the knights of the mine were going to leave there, and there was no longer any delay, and every day the mine was shut down would have more trouble.
"How old is the official magician, is he a magician of the kingdom? Did he say he was going to wait and see? ”
Iron Mountain asked the knight, if there was a formal magician who could easily break through the skinning of the giant worm with the help of a full-fledged magician.
"In his twenties, he is a very young man, he has a very gorgeous magic robe, even the Rose Lord thinks highly of him, but he said that he is passing by here to live temporarily, and he doesn't know what the other party's origin is."
"Hey, let's see when the other two teams will return, I can't even sleep, and I can't feel at ease if I don't hear the news."
"Rest your lord, I'll let you know when I get back."
The steward of the Lord's Mansion stood aside to persuade Tie Shan, Tie Shan shook his head, and he looked at the several knights with tired faces: "You have worked the road, rest early, and you will leave for the mine at noon tomorrow." ”
"Yes, my lord."
Several knights had been going back and forth for a long time, and now they were very tired, and after saluting, they hurried away to the camp to rest, and it was already late at night, and after a night's rest, they would be in good spirits again tomorrow morning.
After another hour or so, another group of knights who had gone to the next territory returned, and they bowed their heads and did not dare to look at Tie Shan's face in shame: "I'm sorry lord, we didn't complete the task. ”
"Hey, I don't blame you, let's go rest."
Iron Mountain looked disappointed, the territory that this team of knights went to was the largest one in the vicinity, and there were two golden knights or father and son, which was the one he had the most hope for.
As a result, the other party failed to agree to his request, even if the knights said that the mine leader promised the reward, they were not willing to come, after all, they were dozens of kilometers away, and no matter how strange insects were, they could not disturb their territory.
The last team brought good news, but the other party promised to come the day after tomorrow, which is good news after all, this territory is the farthest away and willing to help, Tie Shan is very grateful in his heart.
"Do you want to go to the Rose Leader and ask for the official magician in person?"
Iron Mountain was still a little worried after the three teams of knights who had asked for help returned, and he paced back and forth in the house, unable to sleep well.
The most likely person to help them now is the official magician in the neighboring territory, but will the other party grant his request?
"Someone, prepare the car, I'm going to go to the Rose Collar in person."
"My lord, it's late at night, and you can't enter the Rose Territory when you get there, and they won't open the door late at night."
"It's okay, we'll spend the night outside the Rose Territory, and we'll enter the territory early tomorrow morning to meet the official magician, and now we can only hope that the other party will help us."
