"Your Excellency the Duke, there is Wind and Frost Town ahead. ”

A knight reported.

Marveen Pike held up his lookout glasses and observed the town, which was located on the southwestern border of Eternal Winter and Wolfheart, surrounded by hillsides, and could be seen from any high point. Due to the easy to attack and difficult to defend terrain, Storm Town has not expanded into a castle for a hundred years.

There are quite a few such towns on the border between the two kingdoms, and there is nothing special about it, if it is normal for Mavien to look at it twice, but now, it has a unique meaning.

"Is there any news from the people who went to inquire about the information?"

When asked, it only cost a few silver wolves, and the townsfolk told them all. The knight said proudly, "There is indeed a small team of Grey Castle people active here, there are not many of them, only forty or fifty people, and they will appear almost once in a while. ”

"Why aren't they stationed here?"

"After crossing the border, there are mountain roads, and I have heard that wild wolves are often infested, and if there is no one to escort them, those refugees are afraid that none of them will be able to cross. ”

Ma Weien's heart suddenly had a bottom.

The spread of the red mist is not based on the border, but rather like an ever-expanding semicircle, which makes the farthest red mist have crossed the area of the Wolfheart King City, and the nearest is still in the territory of Eternal Winter. Fighting within the kingdom was obviously more reassuring to him than to go to a neighboring country.

Not only does Frost Town meet this requirement, but because of its remote location, those who are confused by the Greycastle people rarely enter the wolf's heart from here. Compared to several large cities with easy access, Frost Town is almost as unobtrusive as a mosquito leg.

What Ma Weien wants is precisely the lack of people.

The small number of people meant that the Grey Keep wouldn't pay much attention to the area, and the information the spies had undoubtedly confirmed this.

As the old scholar said, those difficult bones have their own devil to deal with, and what he has to do is to bite hard at the weak point of the other party. As long as this kind of thing is passed on, no matter how big or small the result is, it can make the other party throw a mouse.

Of course, the old scholar's strategy is not only like this, but there are even more ruthless tricks waiting for the Grey Castle people in the future, if he can succeed in coming to him two or three times, he believes that the other party's plundering actions will be greatly frustrated, and His Excellency the Lord of the Sky may also rely on him even more.

"Let's go back, it's time to talk to everyone. ”

......

After spending half a day traveling back to the nearest town, Marvien walked into the mansion of the original lord in high spirits. It originally belonged to an unknown baron, but not long ago, he was frightened by the approaching red mist and rumors of the devil and fled, which saved him a lot of negotiating effort.

It is true that this land does not belong to him at the moment, after all, his real power is limited to the four northern cities for the time being, but Marvien believes that the expansion of the Pike family will not end there.

Soon, a group of nobles he had gathered gathered and waited for him to speak.

The Duke looked around and silently took note of everyone's faces and expressions. There were forty-five recruits in the room, most of them were knights, there were also a few barons, and the highest was the lord of the former Far North Harbor, Viscount Nanos. These men were either forced to lose their territory or were robbed of all their subjects by the Grey Castle, and they did not hesitate to join him under the promise of a fief reward, and if you count the guards, cronies, and servants that they brought with them, the number of available fighters in this team was more than three hundred.

With mental arithmetic and an advantage in numbers, this is obviously an excellent opportunity. What's more, for the first time, there is no difference in weapons between them and their opponents. In the past, the Eternal Winter nobles were overwhelmed by the firearms of the Grey Keepers, whose rate of fire and distance were far from being comparable to the snow powder weapons they copied. Without the support of the Lord of the Heavenly Dome, let alone three hundred, even if it tripled, no nobles would be willing to assist him in fighting the Grey Castle people.

"I wonder how you're ready?" Marvien cleared his throat, "I think you're already familiar with those firearms, right?"

"Isn't it just a matter of loading the bullet into the chamber of the gun and pulling the trigger on the target," Viscount Nano said with a look of dismay, "Those things that the mountain farmers can use, it makes no sense that we can't use them." Those captured guys had to be tortured to confess, and their tone was still slur and reluctant, what should I be so remarkable!"

"Yes, it's hard to say it's exquisite, but it's much easier to use than a sword. One of the knights chimed in, "I have also interrogated the Grey Castle people, who have only been in the army for two years and usually learn to shoot firearms in a month, while it took me five years to practice swords. ”

"One month is because these untouchables are too stupid, and for me, three days is enough. The other man's remarks caused a burst of laughter.

"I want them to know that they are nothing without firearms!"

"Aren't the firearms given to the witches, I think the King of the Grey Keep has just taken advantage of the church's sweep of Eternal Winter and the heart of the wolf. ”

Ma Weien realized that these nobles had already held back the fire in their stomachs, and they were already preparing to take revenge on the group of Gray Castle people. Although the mixed team was only put together a week ago, and some of them couldn't even name each other, they were all at least motivated by the same goal.

"But the number of crossbows called bullets is limited, and even fewer are distributed to everyone. The knight who had followed him spread his hands and said, "If you can, I hope you can save some money and wait until you get closer before firing." ”

Ma Weien glanced at the other party approvingly, this person's name is Fowler, a native of the West, and he also took a fancy to his cleverness before. From these words, it can be seen that Fowler has grasped the key to victory and defeat, and it would be good if he could find an opportunity to take him as his own.

"Don't worry," the Duke reassured, "the Grey Castle people don't have many bullets either. The wolf's heart is mountainous to the northwest, which limits their load. Other than that...... Isn't it their slogan that they're going to let us get closer, escorting the fugitives out of danger?"

Everyone also sneered.

That's right, as long as the other side is here to plunder the population, it will definitely not give up this wave of "lambs" at your fingertips. But as everyone knows, wolves sometimes hide in them. In this world, the transformation from hunter to prey is often a matter of moments, and by the time they find out about the fraud, they are afraid that they will already be in a cage.

After that, as long as they disguise themselves as the other party and turn around to ransack the towns along the way, the propaganda of the Grey Castle people will inevitably be self-defeating. Repeat it a few times, and they won't want to pull another person from this side.

"I've already released the news, I believe that the Grey Castle side will soon make some moves, and when the time comes, you can play to your heart's content, and all the seizures will be yours!" Marvien got up and concluded, "This is not only your chance for revenge, but also an opportunity to seize the territory and wealth! As long as the goal is achieved, I will not break my word! Everyone, the time has come for the Grey Castle people to pay for their blood debts!"
