The castle is built on the mountainside, and the castle is built on the mountainside, and when you stand at the foot of the mountain and look up, it is as if it is embedded in the belly of the mountain, which is very shocking and majestic. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In front of Heriencheng, Aaron Town was like a small village in the countryside, with farms and livestock farms outside the city next to each other, and all kinds of facilities in the city, even paved with gravel.

There is a place in the same place as Aaron, that is, the nobles and commoners are equally distinct, ordinary commoners can only live at the foot of the mountain called the commoner area, and the upper level is inhabited by nobles and some people with status, which is called the noble district.

Gray had been living here for two years, and was introduced by Gray's uncle, Dale Laglay, the court chancellor of Herien Castle, and became one of the castle knights of the Earl of Lockton, Lord of Herien.

It was just early spring, and Fort Herien, although it was in the south of the Ellan continent, was still a little cold, and the farms outside the city were already busy at this time, and it was time to harvest the winter wheat, and at the same time prepare for the sowing of the spring wheat.

It was at this important time that the castle officials received reports from many of the village officials under their jurisdiction, saying that the winter wheat on the farms had been destructively plundered, and at first these farmers thought that the farmers near them were doing it, and even almost got into a fight, and finally they found that the other farmers were the same as themselves, and everyone felt that something was wrong and reported it to the castle.

The goblins of the Red Rain Forest came out to make trouble again, and this was people's first reaction.

Goblins are also intelligent creatures on the continent of Alan, and they have even established their own civilization on the Clarkley Islands in the northwest of the continent, and are famous for their commercial trade.

However, the goblins here are not the goblins of the Clarkley Islands, and they can't even communicate with each other in the simplest way, and even the guys in the Clarkley Islands don't admit that these goblins are their kindred.

Gray is the knight who led the team in charge of investigating this incident, if it is confirmed that it is the goblins of the Red Rain Forest, the Earl of Lockton will send a large army to encircle and suppress, you must know that the phrase 'soldiers and horses have not moved, grain and grass first' is not a joke, and it costs money to mobilize troops, and it is not a small amount of money.

This was Gray's first assignment in two years at Hurrion Castle, and the Captain of the Knights' Guard, Sir Ganard Jarre, seemed to be at odds with Sir Dale, the Prime Minister of the Court, and every time there was an easy task with a large reward, it was not Gray's turn.

The goblins in the Red Rain Forest have appeared more than once, every more than ten years, there will be a goblin turmoil in the Herion territory and nearby territories, each time the number is extremely large, the goblins in several territories can add up to 100,000, but these goblins are too weak, and lack weapons, the best weapon is a wooden mace, an ordinary soldier wears equipment, and it is not a problem to single out more than a ten.

The lords tried to solve this problem, but it never worked. Because, the Red Rain Forest is very large, it covers almost a quarter of the Herion territory, and there are other areas connected together, the whole forest is basically the same size as the entire territory of the Herion, and the mangroves growing here are too soft to have any commercial value, and it is too troublesome to use it to make a fire.

However, the mangrove tree grew very fast, and as a result, the Red Rain Forest grew larger and larger as time went on.

Once these lords also united into the forest, wanting to completely exterminate these goblins, but when they entered the forest, they found that things were not as simple as they imagined, the humid air in the forest breeds all kinds of poisonous insects, especially in the forest, dead leaves can even cover the knee area, the tall and dense trees block most of the light, even in the daylight of the scorching sun, the interior of the forest is still pitch black, plus the environment is like a labyrinth. It didn't take long for non-combat attrition to halve the conscription forces, and several lords had to order their troops to retreat.

There was also a proposal to set fire to the forest, a crazy idea that was immediately opposed by most people, and the devil knows what the consequences would be of artificially burning such a large forest.

In this way, hundreds of years have passed, and the lord has changed I don't know how much, but this matter has still been stranded, but every ten years, troops are sent to trap and kill some goblins, so that they are powerless to come out and make trouble.

This time Sir Garnard gave Gray 10 cavalry, no more, no less, if those goblins are really doing it, simple reconnaissance and intelligence gathering can still be done, but you need to be careful, after all, there are too many of them, and being surrounded is not a joke.

Cavalry and knights are different, simply put, cavalrymen are recruited soldiers, while knights are officers trained from childhood.

There was also a magician in the team, a middle-aged man named Thor Grey, a disciple of the Earl's court magic advisor Bar Bo, and Gray was quite familiar with this magician named Thor Grey, both of whom were marginal figures in Crane Castle, and it was normal for them to occasionally meet in the tavern and treat each other for a glass of wine or something.

"Knight Gray. Thor was the first to salute.

"Your Excellency Thor. Gray returned the salute.

When it comes to these things, a mage is usually sent there, after all, mages are synonymous with erudition on the continent of Ailan. In fact, the reason for this is because they read some messy books all day long in order to study magic.

The two of them turned on their horses, and Gonder was with them, the knight's squire was an indispensable and important figure in the march, and Thor also brought a servant with him.

"I just came out of the cavalry regiment, and I heard that this time the leader is a young knight, and I guess it's you. Thor said as he swept the cavalry behind him.

Without waiting for Gray to speak, he added, "I've done this twice. ”

Gray glanced at Thor and said, "Are you sure it's really those dwarf goblins this time?" Gray had seen the goblins of the Clarkley Islands in Herion City, they were shrewd and greedy, but very trustworthy, a group of qualified merchants.

"Of course, those bigwigs in the castle are already preparing supplies and gathering troops, but your news is relatively lagging behind. ”

Gray was stunned when he heard this, glanced at the 10 cavalrymen behind him, and Thor smiled: "Let you go to investigate, that is, to make sure, this is a procedure, you must go through this level, otherwise it will be really an oolong at that time, and it will be troublesome!" ”

Gray understood that even if this task was completed, there would be little merit, and there would be a certain amount of danger with it.

"But this time it's a bit unusual, the first two times I just asked me to inquire about the situation and check the location of the accident, and then send two scouts to investigate, this time it seems to be a bit big!" Thor frowned as if talking to himself.
