A hundred infantry against more than a dozen horseless cavalrymen would end the battle in a short time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

When it was all over, Gray went to the place where Sir Garnard and the others were fighting, and there were some goblin corpses nearby, and there was actually the corpse of the goblin leader with the flower crown on his head, which was the main target of the mission.

A wooden chest next to the goblin corpse was opened, exposing the golden nuggets to the air, keeping the eyes of the nearby soldiers from taking their eyes off. Gray frowned, his brow jumping slightly.

Luck suddenly appeared in front of Gray at this time, his face was painful, and there was a faint smell of blood on his body, and he whispered, "The matter has been done!"

Gray knew what he had done, the soldiers had disappeared, and Gray sighed slightly in his heart, it wasn't what he wanted, but he had to do it.

Gray's hands were still trembling, his heart was beating rapidly, he felt that his steps were a little frivolous, and the whole person seemed to be floating in the air, he glanced at the exposed gold nuggets: "Pack those gold nuggets, you can take out some of them and distribute them to the soldiers!"

Lunken must have been very happy before, but now his mind is obviously confused, absent-minded, and his movements are a little mechanical, but this does not prevent him from getting things done, and Gray stared at his figure, but a thought popped up in his heart: he should also get rid of it!

Gray was completely stunned by his coldness.

There was a sound of footsteps, Gray turned around and saw that as he expected, it was the troops led by Knight Pula who had arrived, and briefly explained to Knight Pula, and in Knight Pla's shocked eyes, Gray left here with a small team of soldiers.

----------

"So, Sir Garnard is dead?" In the main tent of the makeshift camp, with the Earl of Lockton sitting on the main case, Thor beside him, and a group of noble lords from the Heron realm in the tent, the high lords usually bring their vassals with them when they fight, which is a necessary measure.

Gray was standing in the middle of the big tent at the moment, he bowed his body, lowered his head, and when he saw the earl asking, he hurriedly said: "Yes, Lord Earl, his soldiers may have murderous intentions when they saw wealth!"

Earl Lockton let out an 'oh', "What kind of money is it that my soldiers can not even take their lives!"

Gray immediately said: "There are several boxes of gold nuggets, and all of them are pure gold!" His palms were now full of sweat, and the saber at the waist of the Earl of Lockton was a little dazzling in Gray's eyes at the moment.

As soon as the words fell, the nobles in the big tent immediately 'buzzed' and communicated, these little nobles had never seen so many gold coins in their lives, let alone pure gold nuggets.

Thor, the magician next to the Count, suddenly bent down and whispered in the Count's ear.

After Saul finished speaking, Earl Lockton tapped his fingers lightly on the board, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Where is Taylor?"

Gray smiled bitterly in his heart and returned: "Lead the cavalry brigade to patrol near the forest!"

"Knight Jerk, give the order to Sir Taylor to transfer five squadrons of cavalry to Gray's command, go now!" Lockton's voice was so soft that Gray thought he had misheard.

The knight of Jerk, whose full name was Jerk Nand, was the captain of the Earl's own army.

"Well, then, I'd like to talk to Knight Gray and Lord Thor!" Before Gray could react, Earl Lockton said to a group of nobles in the Great Tent.

The many nobles looked at each other a few times and then had to bow and leave.

When they walked out of the tent, the Earl of Lockton frowned and said, "There is a mission, which was supposed to be given to Sir Garnard, a very dangerous mission!"

Gray was stunned for a moment, then reacted, he knew that this was his chance, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, "Lord Earl, I will finish it!" Gray said categorically.

The Earl of Lockton was long past the age of blood, "This task is very important, and we have been preparing for it for nearly twenty years, can you see what I mean?"

"Of course, Lord Earl!" replied Gray, the Count clearly meant, that this task could not be failed, and that it could sacrifice everything in order to accomplish it.

The Earl of Lockton stared at Gray for a moment, as if he wanted to say something, but finally said, "Then call it to you! Thor also recommends you, give you two infantry brigades, five archers and five cavalry squadrons, and I will wait for your good news in the castle!"

-----------

The Earl of Lockton did not appoint Grey as the captain of the guard, but he gave him half of the military forces in Greyherion's domain, and as long as Gray was able to complete this mission, the position of captain of the guard would definitely not be able to escape.

This mission is to go deep into the Red Rain Forest, investigate a very important matter, and it is indeed not easy to go deep into the Red Rain Forest.

The troops were quickly assembled, and when the soldiers knew that this time they were going deep into the Red Rain Forest, they were obviously a little scared, even timid, and only stabilized their emotions under the reprimand and persuasion of the squad leaders and squadron leaders, and Thor gave each person a medicine bag, saying that it could repel poisonous insects.

After everything was ready, Gray gave the order, and the troops immediately started!

"Don't worry, I know a way, we won't have any trouble on the march, the real danger is the destination of this mission!" Thor said softly, walking with Gray at the front, there was no way to ride horses in the forest, and the war horses were left in the camp.

Gray is a little incredulous!

Thor smiled: "Let me tell you the truth, we have been investigating the Red Rain Forest for more than ten years, and we have been in and out of here no less than a hundred times, until we finally found a suspicious place in the last few years. ”

"You solved a problem that hasn't been solved for hundreds of years, and you solved it in more than ten years?" Gray obviously didn't believe it.

Saul's mocking expression resurfaced, "Have they really thought about solving problems for hundreds of years?

Gray was stunned, it seemed that this was indeed the case, in the past few hundred years, countless people wanted to solve the problem of the Red Rain Forest, but every time they were anticlimactic!

"Why do you want to solve this problem, you seem to be more concerned than the Earl! Don't say those big things, I'm sure I won't believe them!" asked Gray.

Thor laughed loudly, "Do you know? Hundreds of years ago, after the Earl of Lockton's ancestors failed to march into the Red Rain Forest, they promised that whoever could get rid of the goblins here, no matter what his status, would immediately canonize him as a nobleman. He laughed loudly, but spoke quietly.

Gray was stunned: "That's all you need for this?"

"Sure!Isn't that enough?" Thor replied, he glanced at Gray and continued, "I will be canonized as a baron after completing this mission, Mark will be a knight, and if Ganard completes this mission with me, he will definitely be canonized as a baron, he is a very annoying person, so I can only get rid of him before that......"

Thor's voice was getting quieter and quieter, and Gray couldn't even make out what he was saying behind him!

Gray now thoroughly admires Saul, as well as his younger brother Mark.
