Chapter 33: Calling for Help in the Dead of Night
"Be on guard, a knight is near!" In the darkness of the night, Lorco saw a herd of horses galloping towards this place, which was not common for Rost.
It was already late at night, and the soldiers on duty immediately woke up the other companions, and the night was very cold, and the soldiers could only forcibly lift their spirits and take up their weapons.
"Captain, the other party is still approaching!"
"Warning! Stop them at once!" Lore raised his hand, only a few figures could be seen vaguely in the distance in the middle of the night, there were not many knights coming, there was no need to sound the alarm directly.
Several soldiers immediately picked up their infrequently used bows and arrows, lit a few rockets, and charged in the direction of the knight.
Sou!
Sou!
Several rockets slashed in the air in an arc and landed in the wasteland, if Lei Zhe saw this scene, he would naturally come out to teach a lesson, there were weeds and trees everywhere, and the weather was dry, once the gas came, it would not be a simple forest fire.
"Captain, they haven't stopped yet!"
"Prepare to go down and meet the enemy. Lohr frowned, the current situation could not judge the other party's intentions, of course, Rost did not allow civilians to enter and leave at night.
"I'm the Knight of the Guard by the Marquis of Gabriel!
The sound almost drowned out the cries of the insects around him, and Lore raised his hand with a squint of eyes, and the spears raised in the hands of the knights were also lowered.
"Do you have anything to prove yourself?"
"This is the knightly medal of the Black Thunder Knights, the marquis was attacked by ogres on the way here, please send troops out to reinforce immediately!"
Luo Erke took the metal plate flying over with his hand, a pitch-black shield badge did have the badge mark of the Yaheng family on it, although it could be faked, but this kind of thing was obviously not up to him.
"Send someone to inform the Earl at once. ”
The city gate did not open, and the few black-armored knights who rushed over did not rashly approach the city gate.
............
"What's wrong? so flustered?" Adolf, who was woken up in the middle of the night, looked at Colmar in armor strangely, it was not a normal thing to come to the Earl's Manor at night.
"Hurry up and see the Earl, the Marquis has been attacked on the way here. ”
"Is the Marquis attacked?" Adolf shuddered, and suddenly fell asleep.
"It hasn't been confirmed yet, but the person who came to report this news is a knight of the Black Thunder Knights, so it shouldn't be fake. Colmar shook his head, he had been woken up in the middle of the night, and he didn't quite know what was going on.
"Come with me, and now go to the Earl. ”
Being woken up in the middle of the night was naturally a little unpleasant, sitting on the edge of the bed, Lei Zhe fell into deep thought, Colmar and Adolf stood quietly on the sidelines, waiting for the order to be given, the attack on the Marquis was not a trivial matter.
"Was it attacked in Wells territory?"
"I don't know yet, my lord, are you going to send troops out for reinforcements?" Colmar asked after a moment's hesitation.
"Pie, of course it will be sent, anyway, it is also to come to my banquet and encountered an attack, but this matter cannot be done by me alone, Adolf immediately informed all the nobles in the city. ”
"Yes, I'll go tell the nobles now. Adolf nodded and left the room, he didn't bother to think about Reizhe's orders, he wouldn't understand them anyway.
"Let's go, let's go meet the knights of the Black Thunder Knights first. Getting up and putting on a coat directly, Lei Zhe carefully left the manor in a carriage.
"Lord Earl. Seeing Lei Zhe go up to the city wall, the soldiers guarding the side immediately stood up straight.
"Lorcaus, open the side door. ”
"Yes, Chief Knight. ”
"Put the hanging door!"
Chirping!
The loud sound was particularly harsh at night, and what caught Lei Zhe's attention was that the Minotaur tribe of Anza on the side had also surrounded him.
"Lopidel!" shouted Raizer.
Standing not far away, Lobidel jumped up violently and waved the big axe in his hand at Lei Zhe.
"Your Excellency, I am Kaloya, the knight of the guard beside the Marquis of Gabriel, and the Marquis encountered an attack by the cannibal tribe on the way here, because the strength of the other party is too strong, the Marquis can only lead the other knights to retreat to the small town of Nicaro. ”
"Nicaro Colmar, do you know this location?"
"My lord, Nicaro is located in a remote town south of Rost, which is the domain of Viscount McClure. ”
"McClure, the guy who sent a couple of slave girls the other day?"
"Yes, sir. Colmar touched his head, and all the beautiful female slaves Lei Zhe gave them to several knights, including him, which made Colmar unable to sleep peacefully for several nights.
"Lord Earl......" Kaloya's face was a little stiff, and Lei Zhe's flat expression was really flustered.
"Don't worry, Colmar, tell Six to inform Augsg and Herson to let the two of them assemble at the city gate with their knights. ”
"Yes. ”
Adolf's movements were fast, Lei Zhe just stayed at the city gate for a while, and a large number of nobles rushed to the city gate with their knights, and glanced at the knights gathered below, more and more knights, and armor of various colors formed a unique picture in the firelight.
"Lei Zhe!"
"Huh?" looked strangely at the source of the sound, and the good fellows of more than twenty big men ran over at a high speed. "Lopidel?"
"Hmph, are you ready for war?Reizhe, as part of your territory!, don't forget my Qusemon tribe!" Lobidel grinned, and the muscles on his shoulders trembled.
"You're a girl. With a low chuckle, Lei Zhe's gaze was removed, and the knights quickly surrounded the city gate, whether it was true or not, these nobles brought out all the knights they brought.
"Because it is in the territory of Count Raz, my knight of Alfred is willing to obey Count Razhe from now on!"
"Mine too!"
"So do the knights of my Mukral family!"
Alfred's voice almost burst the audience, and these nobles who belonged to Lei Zhe would naturally take out their combat power.
The knights with torches immediately lined up in a phalanx on the periphery, and in addition to the native knights of Rost, a total of two hundred and forty-six people joined the rescue knights.
One of them is a fifth-level knight and six fourth-level knights, and in terms of top combat power, it is enough to be on par with Rost's top knights.
Of course, the main combat strength is still from Rost's two knights, a total of two hundred soldiers, plus the knights and minotaurs of other nobles, a total of five hundred soldiers, which is already equivalent to fifty percent of the strength of Lei Zhe's entire territory.
Obviously, this rescue does not need such a huge combat power, and Lei Zhe has other purposes for doing this.
