Chapter 38: Who We Are in This World
Link had been distracted for a long time, and the conversation between Anthony and Lucy had reached a critical moment.
"The duties of the pioneer knights are simple, to guard the werewolf forest, make sure to drag them here, and wait until a certain number of years or have a certain number of merits, and the title of nosbility can be obtained by surprise."
Anthony's words are extremely confident, the title of nobility is something that countless commoners want to obtain, and the strength of the Duchy of Senna is superb, and the nobles in the Duchy of Seine can go to many other countries, and they can be superior.
Even the lowest-ranking knights can enjoy the same treatment as lords in other places.
Link scratched his scalp, as if he had missed something, and what the hell was the Pioneer Knight.
And there are still many countries in this world, which makes Link have a little urge to see it.
But thinking of the current situation, he just sighed, it was just a delusion.
Link wandered for a while, and when he came back to his senses, he saw Lucy get up and send Anthony out of the Elemental Tower.
Both sides were smiling and seemed very satisfied with the conversation.
Link let out a soft breath of depression and stood up and walked out of the house.
When he went downstairs, he saw Dilla and the others standing there, apparently waiting for him to come.
"My lord, our troubles are getting bigger and bigger."
Lucy saw Link, walked up to him and said, "I'm sure you know what predicament we're facing. ”
"No, I don't know at all." Link said with a wry smile, "I just went to see what was going on outside, and when I came back, I saw that you guys had said everything. ”
Link felt that it was too embarrassing for him to tease the few sentry guys outside and talk about his distraction. So he prevaricated by being wary of what was going on outside.
Fortunately, the girls in front of them didn't care about this, and since Link said that he didn't know the specific situation, they sorted out everything and told Link.
This forest is called the Werewolf Forest, which was not originally called by this name, but because in the past hundred years, the number of werewolves has increased, harassing nearby villages and towns, and even besieging the noble castle, causing panic among everyone, so it was named the Werewolf Forest.
According to rumors, there are tens of thousands of werewolves in the Werewolf Forest, and the number once caused panic among the surrounding lords.
So, they asked for help from the Grand Duke of Antaronin, who was also the object of their allegiance, and as the Grand Duke of the Duchy of Seine, the Grand Duke of Antaronin also happened to be worried about other troubles, so he simply issued a pioneering decree and recruited a large number of Tuo knights.
The pioneer knight is a nobleman in the reserve, and he must have strong strength, a certain amount of power, and preferably good luck, in order to be able to stay in the pioneer for a certain number of years or obtain certain merits, so as to obtain a real noble title.
For a long time, there have always been very few people in the Duchy of Seine who can become nobles as pioneer knights, but it is one of the rare channels for commoners to be promoted to nobles.
As a result, many people with pioneer knight qualifications came to the vicinity of the Werewolf Forest.
They recruited the people, trained the army, recruited the strong, like nails, firmly nailed to the outside of the werewolf forest, sniping all the werewolves who tried to break out of the forest.
Sometimes, in order to gain enough merit, these pioneer knights even banded together to go into the outer edge of the forest to conduct a round of sweeps, killing enough werewolves to slow down the werewolf population.
Originally, even if you can't completely kill the werewolves, you can slowly cut the werewolves and bleed them down, but not long ago, there was a bad war, and there was an accident.
An orc army, led by a Terran traitor, sneaked in from a remote area to destroy the royal capital of the Duchy of Senna by storming the Yellow Dragon, but was frustrated and had to retreat - especially when he heard of the arrival of the strongest army in the kingdom, the Knights of the Feathered Eagle.
The orcs began to retreat in an orderly manner, burning countless kills along the way, especially attacking the territories of the pioneering knights and nobles, and destroying the middle forces of the Duchy of Seine as much as possible.
The area around the Werewolf Forest was unfortunate to be involved in the area of the orcs, most of the pioneer knights died here, and even the castles of several nobles were breached.
This caused the fury of the Feathered Eagle Knights, and some of the official knights who were far away even left their squires behind and rushed single-handedly towards the area where the orcs were raging, and the orcs took it when they saw it, divided into dozens of groups, and fled in all directions.
They have succeeded in their goal, and even if they are unable to return to it, the Duchy of Seine will inevitably fall into weakness for decades to come.
This is a good opportunity for the orcs to rise!
Link suddenly remembered that the orc army that Dilla had encountered that day was probably one of them.
If they attack themselves, I am afraid that they really have no room to fight back at that time.
Fortunately, the Feathered Eagle Knights were behind him, so that the orc army did not dare to make any extraneous branches, and quickly withdrew.
Link felt a sweat break down his head, and it was like picking up a life and coming back.
These are the general backgrounds, and the next thing is the more fatal thing.
"We're on the outskirts of the Werewolf Forest right now, and we're about a day's journey from the nearest human settlement." Lucy looked at Link and opened her mouth, "Horseback." ”
And on the outskirts of the Werewolf Forest, there is the most extreme population of werewolves, the Vengeful Werewolves, the werewolves who have been fighting Link's ideas.
These werewolves are extremely vengeful, and once a member of their clan is killed, they will immediately fight the murderer.
If they find that they can't kill an enemy, they will call friends and call more werewolves to besiege them.
Over the years, I don't know how many pioneer knights have died under the attack of vengeful werewolves.
Link and they have killed so many werewolves here today, and the days ahead can be imagined.
Maybe the entire group of vengeful werewolves will fight him endlessly.
This number may exceed tens of thousands.
And the strength of the werewolves who came will not only be the ordinary werewolves they killed today, there will be more powerful werewolves coming over, and their combat effectiveness will increase dramatically.
For example, those super werewolves who can have the same combat power as Dilla before, the reason why they did not appear in front of Link today is completely because they were all attracted to that Anthony.
If all these werewolves come over, Link and they will have a very hard time.
It won't be the end of the Elemental Tower, but the result will certainly not be much better.
"And then there's the most important point." Lucy didn't speak, and Kara, who was next to her, said lightly, "Our identity in this world!" ”
