Just because you see the spire doesn't mean you're going to get to the castle right away.

With the traffic conditions of the medieval world, especially the area close to the forest, it is already possible to reach the castle from a distance, and the distance in a straight line will not exceed one thousand meters, and there will be at least another three kilometers of detours in the middle.

The team walked forward for another ten minutes, and after rounding a large bend, a long gentle upward slope appeared in front of everyone.

The messenger who led the way turned around: "This is it, and further on, it is Fort Akford's 'Smoky Mountain' in this direction." ”

The village of Ackley is marked at key points in and out of the forest, and as the center of the entire barony, the core of Fort Akford is of course heavily guarded.

Compared with the village of Ekri, where the strength is weak and the floating population is rare, as long as the "outsiders" are found, no matter how many they are, they will immediately light up at least a puff of black smoke; Fort Akford is a strong force and a frequent reminder of people, and the threshold for warning is undoubtedly much higher.

But no matter how high the threshold is, when a team led by knights, with an overall number of double digits, half of the members carrying iron weapons, and obviously accompanied by logistical livestock, whether it is the weak village of Ekri, the armed Fort Akford, or Fort Colin, the parish of Fishgard, which is itself a military fortress, the watchtower guard on the highest mountain in the vicinity, will immediately order all the materials, raise three four, five, six, seven and eight black smoke, and give the most urgent alarm to the village, the castle, and the military fortress. In order to gain about half an hour of warning time.

This is not because the fortified castle is worried about being breached by a team of eighteen people, but if such a team is allowed to suddenly kill near the castle, outsiders do not need to attack the castle at all, as long as they slaughter dozens of farmers, snatch a dozen or so livestock, cut off the buckwheat in the field, and light a fire, it is enough to make more than ten years of hard work in any territory go to waste.

With early warning, the castle has time to react.

The so-called reaction time, most of the time, is not used to gather the fighters out to fight. An armed group of more than a dozen people touched the vicinity, and the devil knows if there are more ambushes behind them, and the precious fighting force will of course be used to defend the castle.

The reaction time of the early warning was to allow serfs, freemen, and, most importantly, livestock to flee the castle, and to send a few skilled scouts in time to find out the true strength of the invaders.

If the intruder is weak, it is best that the knight who goes out will try to expel him directly; If the intruder is more tricky, these knights who risk their lives to scout will often carry a certain amount of high-value items such as refined salt, honey, precious metals, etc., which do not affect the movement of the war horse, to trade and compromise with the other party; If compromise fails, or if the other side is too powerful, the Recon Knights can also carry out one last mission: simply burn the food in the field themselves to avoid being used by the invaders.

In other words, as long as the black smoke that represents the highest warning level rises, unless it is a purely military fortress such as Fort Collin, the parish of Fishgard, most of the other castles and most of the villages will mean that at least a series of unexpected risks that will definitely make the lord or the lord uneasy, or a heavy price of blood in the heart, such as the mobilization of the whole body, the escape of the farmers, the running of the livestock, the trampling of the land, the fall of the knights, and the location.

With the information collected some time ago, Wu Qingchen certainly wouldn't offend the entire Akford Territory as soon as he arrived on the ground.

After stopping the procession, Wu Qingchen followed the messenger forward to observe, and after confirming the lookout point, according to the plan drawn up by the staff committee, Wu Qingchen asked the attachés to retreat two or three hundred meters back from their original positions, and then the last two kilometers.

However, in order to ensure their own safety, the smooth operation and future interests, before departure, it is necessary to implement another plan of the Staff Committee:

"Brother Grace, Brother Longcorn" strangled his long ears, Wu Qingchen looked around, and called them one by one: "Uncle Pamela, Uncle Antoine, Uncle Abweville, Dean, York, Harry Veval, Ann start." ”

After an hour.

Fort Akford.

When Garou came looking, Baser was in a daze in the stable.

Since the last time he was temporarily rushed to the village of Aikeri with the agricultural officer, urgently dealt with the accident of collective injuries to the ploughing cattle, and accompanied Loth/Mohr to pick herbs, and participated in part of the treatment process of the ploughing cattle, when they arrived at Fort Akford, whenever there was something wrong with the big livestock, everyone's first reaction was to immediately come to Basser.

There was a strong smell in the stables. Of course, Basserdu would rather stay with the big animals than clean up the filthy corners of the castle, or risk his life to suppress the tax-resistant villages.

But

If my body is scratched by a branch, should I rinse the wound first or clean up the dirt first?

After the wound has recovered, should I take it out to bask in the sun or apply herbs to rest?

Bauster stared wrestled at the thatch of the livestock shed overhead.

"Basser!" Just as Baser began to pull his hair, the eldest son of Da Zhuangtou, the hairy Garuca, rushed in: "Basser, your teacher is here!" ”

"Huh?" Baser jerked overhead.

"Los is here!" Garroucha repeated aloud: "Loos/Mor, the new cowherd of the village of Akrya. ”

"Really? Lord Los Rothroth is here? Basser's eyes lit up, then he frowned and glared at Garucha, "What cowherd, Lord Los is now a priest in the village of Akrya!" ”

"Hah! Yes," Garucha replied with a smile, "Yes, priest, your priest is here!" ”

"Where's Lord Loth?" Baser quickly got up, and then suddenly paused: "No, how do you know that Master Ross is here?" ”

"Of course I do." At the door of the stable, Garucha pulled his companion along: "Today it is Tornio's turn to guard the tower of the messenger from the village of Ekri, and next to him is your lord Loos, and they will deliver the letter together." ”

"Where are you now?" By the time he had spoken, Baser had already walked out of the stable.

"Outside the castle."

"Huh? Why? Baser paused slightly: "Why don't you let Lord Loes in?" Any questions? Something is wrong with the messenger in the village of Akrya? ”

"No, Bal and Zhuang Tou are with you."

"Don't you know Lord Looth?"

"Yes," Garucha replied, "your last companion, Makul, who had been to the village of Akri with him, happened to be in the Tower. ”

"That?" Baser is even stranger.

"Your priest, there are still many people in the place where you can't see the Smoke Mountain, in order not to cause trouble for the Akford Territory, I hope we will go over and have a look first."

"Huh?" Baser was slightly stunned: "A lot of people." ”

"Hurry up, hurry up" grabbed Basser, and Garucha quickened his pace: "Your priest master, in order to solve the troubles of healing cattle and moving honeycombs, as well as some good things that have just been discovered recently, your priest master specially brought a lot of skilled hands who are good at these jobs over. ”

"Huh?"

"Uh, what?" Garucha grabbed Basser's arm hard: "Let's go!" What a good opportunity to treat cattle and move honeycombs! The inferior people brought by Los must not be able to enter the castle, so hurry up and go out to rob people! ”

"Robbing people?" Forcibly pulled, Baser stumbled out of the barn: "Don't come nonsense, Looth/Moll is already a priest!" ”

"What priest?" Garucha squinted his eyes and said, "Student! Pastor's Students! ”

"Soon a priest, a priest for sure!"

"Alright, okay, got it! Hurry up. Garucha didn't bother to continue arguing, he dragged the bus and moved quickly: "Whether it's a student or a priest, we won't disturb him, we just need a few inferior people to help for a few days, don't worry, everyone still expects those inferior people to help take care of the livestock, and help get a few honeycombs, who will embarrass them?" ”

"Everyone?"

"Well, Tolnio, Makul, you, I'll hurry up, if someone else finds out, we won't be able to get it"

"Don't mess around! Didn't you just now? Master Los is here to deliver the letter, how long can you stay with the letter? ”

"Yes, send a letter! Your lord Looth needs to deliver a letter, so don't you want the inferior people he brought with him? What does it matter if you spend a few days in Akford? Of course, if this freeman is willing to stay with him to help everyone look after the livestock and move the honeycomb, I will send the rest of the letter to him! Don't send letters, I'll help him deliver them to the village of Ekri! ”

Ten minutes later.

"Lord Loth."

Walking out of the castle along the drawbridge, there was still a distance of more than ten meters from Wu Qingchen, and Garucha quickly jumped off his horse, bowed deeply, and greeted him sincerely.

The gibberish that had been a moment ago had been thrown out of the sky by Garucha.

Fooling Wu Qingchen/Los Angeles? Kidnapping Wu Qingchen/Loos's attaché?

Crazy?

a clergyman's robe, white all over, without a single wrinkle; Yue Zhi Yuanyu, a calm and atmospheric demeanor; The face is solemn, and he is not angry and arrogant

Looking at Wu Qingchen/Los a dozen steps away, Garucha instantly forgot the remarks of the so-called "Free Folk Master" a few minutes ago, and honestly showed his most obedient posture.

Garucha must be glad about his choice.

Half an hour later.

Following the road, leaving the castle, crossing the territory, stepping on the hills, going around the mountain road, climbing the long gentle slope, looking at the team in front of him, Garucha's jaw almost fell.
