Leah suddenly had a sense of foreboding, the location of the three farms in Blackstone Castle, she remembered clearly, the nearest Mel farm to Blackstone Canyon, far from the water source, the land was barren, and it had always been the worst harvest and the fewest farmers. The Eifel Farms and Terry Farms, which are close to the river, have fertile land, easy watering and full crops, which are always the top priority of the autumn harvest.

Without Carrick's guidance, Alice wouldn't have made the worst autumn harvest plan to harvest the farthest Meyer farm first, and then concentrate manpower and material resources to grab the remaining two farms, right?

For a moment, Leah was so anxious that she raised her whip and slapped it hard on the horse's buttocks.

There was a crunch sound.

The aching horses galloped wildly, pulling the bumpy wagon, and rushed out of the canyon. However, as soon as he turned out of the pass, an unexpected scene appeared in front of him.

A makeshift thatched hut with a chair sat a pot-bellied fellow, with a round face full of fat, eyes that were almost gone, and a mustache that was neatly groomed, and he was wearing a black cloak, and his brown silk robe, which was folded layer after layer by layer of fat on his belly.

On one side of the shed, a carriage was parked, and on the other side stood dozens of war horses in black and red striped horse coats, and knights in military armor shuttled among them, chatting and laughing.

Archon of Talk Town - Pol Dutt and his Knights of the Black Forest.

Pol Dutt, who was taking a nap, was awakened by the crunch of the carriage, and struggled to squeeze two slits out of the fat, and the fat on his face trembled with anger or fear.

"Stop, stop!" the two knights spotted the galloping carriage and immediately drew their swords to block the way.

Leah shouted in her heart, Blackstone is loyal to the Duke of Ceylon, and Pol is also loyal to the Duke of Ceylon, and it seems that the status is equal, but in fact, Pol is the husband of the Duke of Ceylon's youngest daughter, and belongs to the real lineage, controlling the choke point of the sea for the Duke of Ceylon - Daotan Dock.

Even his father, Jarrot, was inferior in front of Pol and repeatedly asked for help. And now, the Blackstone Knights are all wiped out, and they can't be provoked.

What's more—the carriage carriage was carrying the infidels wanted by Waterdeep.

"Who? Take off your headscarf. The two knights approached aggressively, and the rest of the knights were on guard with swords, and gradually surrounded them in an outflanking posture.

It is impossible to rush hard, but fortunately, Leah's psychological quality is good, so she calmly uncovered her headscarf, put down her hood, and took out the lord's style: "It's me, Lord of Blackstone - Leah Sander." ”

"Sir, she's here. From the back of the carriage, Herbert, the butler who had whipped the little boy in the yard, hurried to Pol.

"Let her come to me. Pol's tone was very dissatisfied, and he cursed the old bastard Lubos in his heart, and he didn't know why he was crazy, and asked him to stop Leah anyway, and told him to transfer the Knights to prepare to enter the Blackstone Territory to help destroy the bandits.

His body was so fat that he was flustered and panting even when he moved on weekdays, and his eyes were black. But damn Lubos, let him supervise it himself, otherwise the Duke of Ceylon will be very dissatisfied.

Pol clearly didn't intend to move, and waited for Leah with arrogance.

It's rude.

But Leah was helpless, and could only pray in her heart that the hunter would not make any noise, turned over and got off the carriage, and came straight to Pol, neither humble nor arrogant: "Your Excellency Pol, what is the matter with you?"

Pol glanced at Leah impatiently, and snorted, "Your Excellency Lia, I have received an order from the Duke's Palace. ”

"Order?" Leah's heart sank, could it be that the matter of assisting the hunter out of the city was exposed?

"Yes. Pol took a few breaths with some effort, and gathered enough strength: "The Duke has ordered me to assist you in exterminating the Blackstone bandits, of course, this requires your advice. ”

The Duke of Ceylon would be so kind, and don't forget, he was the one who sent the Blackstone Knights to a desperate situation. And Pol Dutt, who has repeatedly refused to help, has changed his sex, and instead of agreeing when the Blackstone Knights can help, he will agree after the destruction, which seems extremely abnormal.

What exactly is the other party's plan?

"Thank you, Lord Duke, for your kindness. Lia couldn't figure it out, but she couldn't disobey: "And Lord Pol and your heroic Black Forest Knights." ”

"You promised?"

"It's not a simple matter to clear out the robbers!" Liya looked at him left and right, and did not rashly agree before she figured out the other party's purpose: "These wind-eroded caves are the best hiding places. The cavalry simply could not function. ”

"You don't have to worry about that, we can discuss it slowly. Pol yawned, and the crow had a strange order to stop Leah from returning to Blackstone Castle, at least to hold her back for a few days, and wait for another knight order from Waterdeep to arrive.

And Blackstone Canyon is the way Ria must go.

The Duke of Ceylon's purpose is very simple, that is, to make a time difference, and before Ria learns that the autumn harvest is successfully completed, he will use her fragile psychological defense line to completely implement the matter of the two knights' cooperation.

At that time, even if she goes back and finds that there is enough food, enough cotton, and even a slight surplus, there is no room for repentance.

Pol didn't know what the point was, but it was the lackey's job to do it.

Leah thought she was going to Blackstone Fort to discuss the suppression of bandits, so she politely replied: "Your Excellency Pol, I will order someone to arrange a banquet......

"No, no, no. Pol shook his head slightly, and the fat shook with him, and his slitted eyes didn't see anything: "I know, with the Black Forest Knights, it won't work, and the Duke has also dispatched an elite knight from Deep Water City." We will meet in Daotan Town to discuss the prevention and suppression of bandits. ”

This made Lia even more suspicious of the Duke of Ceylon's purpose, but she couldn't disobey the order: "Okay, but I want to go back to Blackstone Fort first, and then go to Daotan Town right away." ”

The first thing to do, of course, is to meet Alice and find out about the autumn harvest. The second thing is to hide the hunter in the castle to recuperate.

"Time waits for no one, Lord Leah. Pol snorted coldly: "I heard that the robbers have settled in your territory, Lord Duke's kindness, I think we should not waste useless time." Discuss it as soon as possible, and at least come up with some good-sounding suggestions to reassure the lord who had come from afar. You say, yes?"

It's all at the door, and I'm not allowed to go back to take a look, this request is too unkind, Leah looked at Blackstone Fort hesitantly: "Your Excellency Pol, I won't delay it for too long." ”

"Hmph......" Pol let out a sneer, he had already known the news of the destruction of the Blackstone Knights, and he looked down on Leah even more: "Do you want to disobey?"

The tone was obviously threatening, and Liya was reluctant in her heart, but the situation was stronger than people, so she had to bow her head: "But I traveled all night, and these horses are too tired, and the axles are broken." ”

"It's okay, I'll send someone to Blackstone Fort for you. ”

"This ...... All right. Liya's heart moved: "Wait for me to get some things in the car." ”

"Hurry up. Pol waved his hand impatiently: "What a trouble." ”

Lifting the curtain of the door and getting into the car, a dagger suddenly stabbed out of the blanket and stopped in front of Leah's chest, and the hunter peeked out of the corner with that pale face.

"Shhhh Liya made a silent gesture and lowered the curtain of the door, "Don't be nervous, I'm not here to arrest you." Long story short, the wagon will be sent to Blackstone Fort by someone else. Here...... Take this. ”

Leah pulled out her close-fitting dagger: "You can show this, and then find my sister, Alice Sander, and she will help you." ”

"What about you, who's out there?" the hunter frowned.

"It's complicated, there's no time to explain. You can recuperate at Blackstone Fort with peace of mind, and we'll meet. Well, I can't stay too long, it will raise suspicions. ”

Leah simply packed a few clothes and packed them into bags, and when she got out of the car, she said, "Tell Alice that I'm back, tell her not to worry." ”

"Okay, that's all, hide it. ”

In Lia's disbelief, the hunter grabbed the dagger in his hand and covered his body with a blanket. Leah's voice came from outside the carriage: "I'm ready, Lord Pol. We can go. ”

Leah rolled over and mounted her steed, while Pordut, with Herbert's support, twisted her bloated body and slipped into the comfort of the carriage.

With serious anxiety and doubts, Leah looked back at Blackstone Castle and could only sigh helplessly.

However, the Hunter can convey her message, which may reassure Alice a little.
