Chapter 372: A Strange Situation

Second, Castro is an old qualified leader because his family has been a lord on the Solo Peninsula for generations a long time ago.

Unlike the most powerful Minotaur Lord of Negan, Daxto, or Arthur, who is a pseudonym for Chen Jian, Castro's family is the real Lord Negan, and they are the earls who were given the title when the Negan royal family was still prosperous, except for the Dragon Queen Moryl, no one has ever been able to oust this family from the lord's throne after Moryl's rule was overthrown. The family soon regained its role as lord of the Solo Peninsula.

Castro is also the oldest lord on the Solo Peninsula, he is a human being, he is in his sixties and almost seventy years old this year, but he is well maintained. He is still in good health. Still refusing to give up the throne of the lord to his descendants. Not long ago, he married a young and beautiful girl as his eighth wife.

Because it is a fairly old family, over the years, Castro's family has cultivated many collateral families for themselves, and these collateral families are loyal to the Castro family and are desperate, and they will not hesitate to go up the mountain and the sea of fire for the Castro family.

In each generation, a large number of young people from side families are arranged into the Castro family's descendant army, and they are the real elite of this lord's private army, because these loyal young people, the size of the Castro family's descendant army is much larger than that of other lord's descendant troops, and the loyalty is also much higher, and it is also a strong army on the Solo Peninsula.

Because of the support of these collateral families. Because of the backing of this powerful descendant army, although the Castro family is not the most powerful lord on the Solo Peninsula, and its overall strength has always been in the middle and upper reaches, the lordship status has been as stable as Mount Tai until now.

Castries was already half buried in the ground, but his ambitions had not diminished with age, and after decades of inactivity, he discovered. My chance has finally come.

Castro's territory borders Jeffrey. As the most powerful lord on the Solo Peninsula, Castro coveted the territory he owned, both in quality and quantity, and now that Jeffrey had died inexplicably, and his men were fighting each other, Castro suddenly felt that this was a great opportunity given to him by God.

In his opinion, as long as he snatched half of Geoffrey's territory, no, as long as he grabbed a third, he would become the lord with the largest territory on the Solo Peninsula, and after recuperating for a while, he might become the most powerful lord on the Solo Peninsula!

With this idea, Castro immediately invested a large amount of gold coins uncharacteristically, recruited troops and horses, and expanded the army, which was originally only more than 30,000 people, was expanded to more than 60,000 people by him by various means, and then Castro took his two sons and three grandsons, and personally led an army of 40,000 to attack Geoffrey's territory, and fought a series of battles with other lords and Geoffrey's generals.

In a series of battles, Castro won and lost, but in general, he won more and lost less, and he also grabbed a lot of territory, among which the powerful descendant army made great contributions.

During this time, Castro had just finished a war with another lord and won a great victory, but his strength was slightly damaged, and when Chen Jian attacked. He is launching a new round of conscription in the area he occupies, expanding his strength in the area to 50,000 again.

Both he and Colum are the winners of this unprecedented scuffle on the Solo Peninsula, and Castro's self-confidence is now inflated. He had already set his next target for Korum. Right now, on the soil that Jeffrey left behind. It was also possible for Korum, who was getting stronger and stronger, to fight him, and the strength of the other lords was seriously damaged, and it was not worth mentioning at all.

Castro scoffed at Arthur, the newly emerging self-reliant lord, believing that it was just a stroke of luck, and that Castro even planned to defeat Krum. He took advantage of the situation to attack Arthur's territory, and recently because of the successive battles and the continuous expansion of the army, his finances are a little tight. Geoffrey's realm is now in a dilapidated state, and valuable things have long been looted by various lords. And that Arthur's territory is very quiet, and Arthur's series of performances make people feel that he is a good big fat meat, and from him, you should get a lot of benefits.

As a result, Castro was angry to find out. Before he could do anything, that Arthur acted first, and I don't know what unsightly means he used, but he actually forced Corum to surrender without a fight, and now he led his army into his own occupied area, as if he wanted to start a war with him.

To be honest, Castro was a little surprised that the other party could make a forced landing on Corum, and the conspiracy is not something that everyone can play, not to mention that he still has to make a forced landing on the other party when he is in an unfavorable situation, which makes Castro slightly restrain his contempt for Arthur, but when he heard that the other party wanted to take the initiative to start a war with him, Castro felt it again

Could it be that this Arthur thought that he had annexed the tens of thousands of people in Krum, plus the old bottom of the original Fernande. Can you compete with the old Negan Lord yourself? It was so naïve and ignorant that Castro decided to teach this boy a good lesson. Let him understand that no matter what kind of conspiracy and trickery, in the face of absolute power, it is a boring joke.

According to Castro's guess, this Arthur came to power not long ago, his foundation was unstable, and he betrayed the original lord, so he must be unpopular and unpopular in the local area, otherwise he would not have spilled a large amount of gold coins to buy people's hearts, and although Corum surrendered, but in a few days, he would definitely not be able to completely take Corum's army for his own use. Although he felt that the other party had an advantage over him in terms of troops, he didn't care.

"A rabble! It's just a rabble". He said to his son, grandson, and generals, "I believe that what we will really face at that time will definitely not be the 70,000 or 80,000 people in the calculation, but at most 30,000 people!" And among these 30,000 people. There should be no more than half of them who are really combative! Our descendants still have nearly 20,000 troops! Plus other troops. To defeat them, it is effortless".

"Lord Earl is wise!" Everyone should arrive in unison.

Castro is old and has a lot of experience. Although he was sure that the enemy would be defeated, he did not take the enemy too lightly, and concentrated most of his forces on the border, set up a military camp, and stationed troops on the spot, hoping to wait for work.

This time, he left 15,000 men stationed in the consul area, and he led his descendants and the rest of the soldiers of about 35,000 people to meet Arthur's army.

Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, Castro also understands that although his army has not moved, many scouts have been dispatched. He had to grasp Arthur's movements, find out the opponent's military strength, and then formulate corresponding tactics.

But at this time, some strange situations began to appear.

Most of the scouts he sent didn't come back, and the few who came back didn't get anything.

This was unusual, and Castro sent a large number of scouts again. But the result was the same, this time, there were fewer scouts back, and they also got nothing

At this moment, Castro was a little breathless, he knew that the other party must have used some method to intercept and kill his scouts in the wild. Something wasn't quite right, this Arthur must have some kind of conspiracy, that's why there was such an action.

The third group of scouts was sent out by Castro, and to be on the safe side, Castro even dispatched five red dragons.

In his mind, how the other party laid out. It's impossible to kill the red dragons, as long as these red dragons come back, they will be able to know what the other party wants to hide.

At the same time, he also told the qi magicians in the army to use the magic eye to monitor the movements in the area around the camp around the clock to avoid being attacked by the enemy.

Counting the time, Arthur's army was almost due to arrive tomorrow, and Castro found himself a little nervous by the strange actions of the other party.

In the early morning of the next day, it began to snow heavily in the sky again, and the sky and the earth were a white scene, and the vision was extremely poor, and Castro, who had been lying in bed all night, suddenly became a little panicked, because until now, none of the scouts he sent out had returned. Even the five-headed red dragon is gone, and it seems that there is more than one luck.

Although Castro gave a gag order, so many scouts suddenly disappeared, including dragons, and it was obviously not easy to hide from everyone. It was still on the eve of the battle with Arthur, and for a while, all kinds of rumors were flying among Negan's soldiers, coupled with the strange incident of Coru's surrender without a fight, and the morale of Castro's army was panicked and plummeted.

And the leader of the dragon clan in Castro's army also found Castro, although he worked for the Negan lords, but the dragons' position in the Negan army has always been relatively special, their strong strength makes the relationship between them and the Negan lord is not a simple subordinate relationship, except for a few lords who can convince the dragon clan and serve willingly, most of the relationship between the Negan lord and the dragon clan is more inclined to cooperate with each other.

The dragon warriors in Castro's army are only nearly fifty, and now they have lost a tenth of them, and the other dragons can't sit still, and the dragon leader wants to find out what happened from Castro, but Castro himself can't figure out the situation.

The only thing he can be sure of now is what kind of conspiracy his opponent is playing, and the opponent's strength is not as weak as he imagined

He had a very bad premonition, he found. This battle may not be easy, but it is very likely that this will be the hardest battle for me in so many years.
