215 Your Highness
Now there are only more than 1,000 half-elves living in the mountains and forests near Taya City, and they can only barely survive by relying on Gillim and others to go out hunting every day.
This time, the slave hunting team of the Dongwei people discovered the half-elf settlement in the mountains and forests, and they divided into four groups and quietly outflanked it.
I don't know if it was luck or misfortune, Gillim and the others, who returned after hunting, found the slave catchers who were slowly approaching the camp.
In order to buy time for the transfer of relatives in the camp, Gillim and the others had to fight to the death against twice the number of slave catchers.
However, the gap in equipment and strength level cannot be flattened by just relying on a little belief in victory, if it were not for the fact that Gillim and others wanted to catch them alive, how could their equipment, which is only a little stronger than the militia armament, form a stalemate with the slave catchers armed to the teeth.
But when the golden silk soft net and psychedelic potions took turns to fight, these half-elf rangers were captured alive one by one and tied together, and in order to take care of his subordinates, Gillim also gave up the opportunity to escape alone, and came to Taya City together.
"In other words, if I am willing to accept your advice, you can bring me 1,000 demi-elves for free labor?" Morey asked.
"Actually, there aren't that many, counting the old and weak, women and children and the necessary defense, we can send up to 500 people to serve you!" Gillie did not exaggerate and conceal his value because he wanted to inflate his worth, and this realistic behavior won Morey's appreciation.
In addition, you can exchange 100 people for 600 people, and the other party still brings their own dry food to work for nothing, so there is naturally no need for Morey to refuse this kind of good thing.
Although Morey brought 10,000 soldiers of the Far Eastern Army, on the books he was well manned. But counting the troops that suppressed the local order, the soldiers who transported the property, and Morey had to put most of his troops outside the city on guard against a possible surprise attack by the Dongwei troops.
So to be honest, Morey's people are stretched, and if the 600 people of Gillie can really arrive in time, it can relieve him from considerable pressure.
Gillim was also resolute, and after briefly informing his men of his and Morey's decision, he rode alone to find his kindred. He had to go faster, and Morey and the others would naturally not have much time to stay behind enemy lines. He was to bring his own people with him before Morey left.
......
Although he didn't make much money in the slave camps, Morey was able to catch the rest of Taya City.
It was often the Far Eastern Army that was outside, and before they could call for battle, the nobles in the high walls of the castle sent their cronies to talk about the treatment of the captives.
However, Morey has a dominant position here, and those nobles will not ask for a sky-high price, and often only need Morey to ensure the safety of their lives, and those fortresses will be self-defeating.
Even if there are a few hard-headed guys who can't see the situation clearly, they don't need Morey's personal action, and the nobles who have been bleeding a lot for a long time don't want to see these former opponents standing on the dry shore, and they have offered advice to Morey, and they can break through the defense or persuade the other party to surrender in a short time.
In the end, the number of nobles received was so great that there were not enough people to transport them to the rear, and Morey could only temporarily pile up the mountain of belongings in the open field and send a team of warriors to watch over them, waiting for the transport team to return.
With the help of these landlords, Morey's looting efficiency has more than doubled, especially when Morey said that he was willing to distribute 10% of the looted property to them, and the entire city of Taya would be completely out of secrets.
Not only that, but they had already infiltrated the garrison of Taya City, but they helped Morey reorganize the garrison of 1,000 people and helped Morey maintain the stability of Taya City.
As the lord of Taya City, Amos. Hewlett has always been proud of his inaction, which not only allowed him to successfully integrate into this frontier city in only a few years, but also under his leadership, Taya City has become more and more prosperous, and has truly put himself down roots here.
It's just that the smugness he talked about in the past has become a shame that he can't wait to slap himself now.
Amos grabbed the collar of the soldier who reported the news, his eyes widened, "You mean those guys all surrendered?" ”
"Yes, my lord, Baron Leo first defected and led the first squadron to surrender to the other side, and also persuaded the rest of the squadrons to work for that Baron Morey, except for Viscount Gerod who led his own soldiers to break through, the rest of the garrison has all surrendered to the enemy!"
Amos collapsed after hearing this, there are only a thousand defense troops in Taya City, and now they have all defected to the other party, so how can they fight?
Could it be that he really wants to surrender like those soft bones? However, as the lord of Taya City, he surrendered to the enemy generals, and if he was heard by the stingy king, let alone his own life, it would be his own family, and the destruction would be imminent.
On the one hand, the army is pressing, and on the other hand, the soldiers are defecting, and now Amos is thinking about it, even if he pulls out the few hairs on the top of his head because of this, he can't think of a practical solution.
In fact, Amos is still asking for trouble, if he knew that there were 10,000 Far Eastern soldiers under Morey's command, presumably the city lord at this time would not be so distressed!
"My lord, we need to make a plan for the future!" The butler grabbed Amos's shoulders with both hands and shook him awake, but glanced at the back room.
Amos came to his senses, yes! I haven't failed yet! As long as this adult is protected, even if it is a great sin, what is it? Maybe I'll be a blessing in disguise!
"Open the treasury and distribute weapons and armor, and inform all the family's personal soldiers to put them on the wall for me! I'm going to fight these enemies to the death! ”
Amos regained his strength, and gave orders in an orderly manner.
"Yes, sir!"
......
In the underground hall, the figures of two people loomed in the flickering magical light.
Seeing that the spell runes that lit up were immediately extinguished again, Amos couldn't help but sigh.
Although he knew that since the other party had been planning for a long time, he would definitely open the [Space Blockade] magic circle in the city after capturing the city, but Amos still had the idea of what happened, but he didn't expect that reality would give him a hard blow.
"Count Amos, still can't you?"
Beside him, a thin-looking teenager asked.
"Your Highness, Your Excellency, the commander-in-chief of the Far East, has opened the forbidden magic array, and now we are afraid that we will not be able to get out!" Amos said with a wry smile.
However, he probably thought that his actions seemed to be showing weakness to Morey, so he immediately added: "But rest assured, Your Highness, no one can easily defeat Fort Shwin!" As long as we hold out for a few days, reinforcements will surely come! ”
"Hehe, it's okay, I also want to meet the son of the Far Eastern butcher and see how much of his father's ability he has!"
His Royal Highness spoke at a young age, but he was old-fashioned, like his father.
