Chapter 50: Opening the Way
In the evening, in the tent.
Malone sat on the throne, and John, Harvey, Elia, and the Templar Knights sat opposite each other on either side.
The knight scouts sent by Elijah have returned, bringing back information from the surrounding area.
As expected, the entire Blackstone Collar was occupied by goblins, and a path had to be cleared to reach the old site of Blackstone Castle.
Looking at the silent crowd, Ma Long said: "Let's talk about it, what do you think, let's discuss it."
"I don't think there's anything to discuss, just kill it, just like in the morning!" John shouted first.
"Well......", Ma Long muttered slightly: "This is also a way, is there anything else?" ”
Another silence!
Seeing that no one spoke for a while, Illya said: "We passed through a lot of territory when we came, can we ask them for help, it is said that they were all Ma Long's subordinates of your grandfather, and they should not refuse"!
After hearing this, Ma Long shook his head and said: "This unrealistic ......, not to mention that the people who are in power now are not the people under my grandfather at the beginning, even if they are the original people, they have not been in touch for decades, and no one knows how much friendship there is." ”
"I think I can give it a try, and I won't lose anything?" Elijah insisted.
Malf answered, "But ......, what shall we be paid for?" ”
"Yes, the nobles are paid for sending troops, what do we pay for?" Malone also asked.
"So what to do, as John said, do you force it?"
John was dissatisfied: "What's wrong with coming hard, it's simple and convenient!" ”
Malone nodded in agreement: "I also think what John said is right, we have the strength, why don't we come by ourselves?" ”
In fact, Malone had already thought about it, he needed goblin leveling, although he had less experience in a single one, but the number was enough to make up for it, and it was impossible to find someone to help.
The meeting was just a reason for him to convince the crowd.
Malf wondered, "Why is it going to take months to clean up these goblins, and we've been waiting here?" ”
Ma Long said solemnly: "Naturally, it can't be used for that long, so now it is necessary for the Knights of the Gods to work hard to figure out the distribution of goblins as soon as possible." Then, ......, we fought all the way to the old site of Blackstone. ”
"And then, after you get to Blackstone Castle?" Elijah asked rhetorically.
"Then ......, let's think about it together!" Marlon was a little embarrassed, he had been thinking about how to eat these goblins, and he hadn't thought about how to arrange the rest of the matter.
Seeing everyone holding back their laughter, Ma Long was a little helpless! So he spoke: "In this way, leave the matter of the battle to us, Illya, Malf, how about you take care of the placement of serfs and supplies?" ”
"So be it, see if you're not this piece of material!" Elijah said with a smile.
……
It took two days to send knights to explore the surrounding environment, the distribution of goblins, and Marlon and others reformulated their plans.
The fighters led by Malone rushed with all their might, clearing out the goblin tribes on the road, all the way north, and finally turned to attack and defend at the old site of Blackstone.
The core of the plan is Marlon's combat power, and whether he can collapse the goblin kill.
If Ma Long's combat effectiveness can't keep up with the plan, then don't say anything, spend a year and a half to clean it up slowly! Or promise a lot of money and ask other lords for help.
If you can't kill the goblin and don't dare to do it again, you won't be able to settle down at the old site of Blackstone Castle when the time comes, and you will have to guard against its threats from time to time.
Although the Cavaliers are strong, they have too few combat personnel, and it is really a drop in the bucket to defend.
Harvey's newly trained middle team of ten serfs was a bit of a ,...... It's just a little bit of a thing,...... Except for pretending, Malone can't think of any use!
Ready, Marlon set off with people.
Flipping through the newly drawn temporary map, Malone made a circle on the first target, estimated the direction, and gave the order "...... departure" in a loud voice
The horses galloped, this time there were not just three people, in addition to Marlon, John, and William, who took the initiative to follow again for some reason, followed by Harvey and one of his squadron militiamen.
Harvey didn't ride a horse, they didn't go straight into battle, their role was to wait for Marlon to kill the goblins and then capture the prisoners.
Using goblins to help deliver supplies will be faster, this is Malf's idea, and you will only know if you try it or not.
And Harvey also wants to go to war, and Malone knows that John's promotion has put him under pressure!
The battlefield is the best place to test your strength, and you can't become a knight by training alone, and Malone has no reason to refuse!
Galloping, Marlon took the lead, leading John and William, the Templar Knight, into the unsuspecting goblin camp.
For a while, the sound of shouting and killing, screaming, and chaotic running spread in all directions.
Marlon wielded his spear and slew all the goblins in his path.
Those usually ferocious goblins are now left with endless terror.
The Purgatory Battle Axe was carried on the back by Ma Long, the axe handle was too short, and the goblin was too low in height, only half of that of ordinary people, it was really not suitable for use now, and it was still a long spear.
William and the others followed closely behind Ma Long, with the experience of the previous two days, plus John had been promoted to the knights, and his strength had greatly improved, such a charge did not have much pressure on them!
Suddenly, the three of them had rushed out of the goblin camp, turned their horses' heads, and rushed back again.
There was another roar of men and horses, and the monster toppled over.
After several successive charges, the goblins were completely dispersed, and there was no threat to several people.
After the charge was over, Malone shouted loudly: "John......, you go and watch Harvey, don't let him be in trouble!" ”
"Understood......," John replied in a loud voice, beckoned William, and turned the horse's head in the direction it had come.
Over there, Harvey and fifty militiamen who had only been training for a few days were capturing the fleeing goblins.
Although the strength of those serf militia was not very good, the equipment was very luxurious.
Not only are all the staff wearing leather armor, they have spears in their hands, and they are equipped with long swords at their waists, which are stronger than the regular army of Ma Long and their time!
Although these militiamen were all newly trained, they were all carefully selected from among the serfs, and they were not only physically strong, but also the more courageous kind.
Although he had never been on the battlefield, he faced the collapsed goblins who were killed, and under the leadership of Harvey, he relied on the strength of the crowd and swarmed up.
After stabbing to death and stabbing a lot, it is not so difficult to finally pass the hurdle in my heart!
All that remained was to take the goblins who were quick to see the opportunity and surrendered early on their knees, grabbed them and tied them up with ropes, handed them over to the serfs who met in the rear, and sent them to the camp, where they were arranged by the Malfs.
