Section 11 Escorts

Gray met the Mark, the clerk of Zegazi Village, again at the Red Gold Fortress, he was always busy and things were never done, but Gray didn't hate him, although this guy's etiquette was a mess. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Saul smiled and said to Gray: "Mark is capable, but his temper is not very good, and he was born as a civilian, his father had saved the life of the earl in the last war on the throne, and the earl originally planned to canonize his father as a knight, but you know how strict the civilian assessment of knights is, and it is not a particularly serious era of war, so ......"

Gray nodded to show that if his family was noble, then his knightly assessment should be relatively simple, and for the children of the nobility who had received a good education since childhood, such an assessment would be as simple as eating.

But civilians don't have such a foundation, and knights can't just fight. Of course, in the years of frequent wars, a large number of noble knights were killed, and the promotion of knights became much easier, and many talented commoners became nobles.

Gray knew that the most important reason why Mark's father did not become a knight was the opposition of the other nobles.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was afternoon, and the two groups of scouting knights also returned to the fortress, the gathering place of those goblins was indeed near there, and the number this time was actually more than 30,000, Gray would not doubt that the cavalry would never dare to report the number indiscriminately in this regard, they had their own set of methods to figure out the number of enemy troops.

After a simple meal in the fortress at noon, the magician Thor had not been seen for a while, and Gray was not in a hurry, he knew that he would naturally wait for him when he set off.

Just as Gray had thought, around 2 p.m., a soldier from the fortress approached Gray and asked him to lead his men to the main gate of the fortress.

Gray didn't talk nonsense, and immediately led the men towards the gate, and when they reached the main gate, a medium-sized caravan had been waiting there for a long time.

There were ten carriages, and each one was full, and Gray saw Thor, and there was a goblin next to him, who had four golden earrings on his left ear, apparently a goblin of status.

"I'm sorry, Gray Knight! I just had so much fun talking to this Lord Erfei that I lost track of time. Embarrassed, Saul pointed to the goblin and said, "This is El Fe vonder, the chief business advisor to the Earl of Lockton. Then he pointed to Gray and said to the goblin, "This is Gray Cage, a knight of the knight's guard of the Earl of Lockton, a young and promising knight. ”

Thor had completely forgotten the prejudice he had against goblins a few magical hours ago.

Erfei's voice was a little sharp: "Yes, I also believe that he will be very promising, and his eyes revealed an unusual... Breath. Erfei originally wanted to talk about ambition, but when it came to his mouth, he felt that it was wrong, so he changed his words temporarily, and the goblin's eyes were always so accurate.

"Thank you very much for escorting, Gray Knight, then!" Elfe bowed slightly, "Those damn goblins!

"Goblins?" Gray wondered.

"It's those goblins!" Thor reminded.

As soon as these words came out, Erfei next to him made an exaggerated movement, and then looked a little excited: "Oh! Lord Magician Thor, how can you call those damn fellows goblins, they are a group of beasts that only know how to plunder!"

Thor couldn't help it, and made an apologetic gesture, "I'm sorry, Lord Erfei, you know, I didn't mean to. ”

"Okay, I accept your apology, but you have to remember, those are goblins, why do people here call them goblins, oh! God, how can these beasts compare to noble goblins!"

Gray was stunned by the two, goblins, a new name.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I think it's time for us to go. Mark broke the somewhat embarrassing scene at this time.

Speaking of business, Erfei immediately forgot about the unhappiness just now, this is one of the advantages of the goblin, he said to Gray: "You and your cavalry are responsible for the security of the left flank and the reconnaissance of the surrounding situation!"

The caravan had its own escort, but it was an untrained militia, apparently from the village of Zegasi and nearby villages.

The speed of the carriage and horses was very slow, obviously the cargo of the carriage was very heavy, and at this rate, they would have to camp in the wilderness tonight, but they had to speed up their pace, and they had to leave the area around the Red Rain Forest.

-------

Time always flies quickly when you're on the road, especially if you want it to go slowly, and it gets dark quickly, so Mark has his men cutting down some trees on the spot and setting up a small camp, and Gray and the cavalry have helped build some simple fortifications.

Just as Gray's cavalry was preparing to dine in the barracks here, Thor found Gray, "You take your cavalry with me!"

Gray was stunned when he heard this, and before he could ask what was going on, Thor immediately turned around and walked in the direction of the horses, and Gray hurriedly ordered the cavalry to follow.

After running all the way for at least ten miles, it was getting darker, and Thor obviously had no intention of lighting the torches, and Gray could naturally see it. Suddenly, a small figure loomed in the moonlight in front of me!

Thor immediately made a stop gesture to Gray, and when everyone approached, a person flashed out, but it was the earl's chief business advisor, Goblin Erfei, and Gray said that he had not seen this goblin since he set off, and he had arrived here first.

Erfe glanced at Gray and the others, "What's going on?"

"The Count's request. Thor said, glancing at Gray.

Erfei was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then looked at Gray seriously, and then looked at the cavalry behind him, "They are also the Earl's request." ”

Saul swept El Fei, "My own judgment!"

Goblin Erfei seemed to be a little annoyed, but he didn't seem to have anything to do, so it was best to give up, "I hope you won't spoil a big deal!"

"Don't worry, Your Excellency Erfei, I've already instructed Mark to do so!" Thor was confident.

Gray was a little confused by their conversation, but before he could understand, Erfe said, "Come with me!" and he led the group off the road toward a small peak.

The trees on the mountain were a little dense, and there was no way to ride a horse, so Gray and the others could only dismount and lead the war horse on foot. Soon they came to a camp on the top of a mountain, and there were ten heavily armed goblins in the camp.

Gray's footsteps were obvious, and Thor turned his head and whispered, "Don't worry, these are the guards of Lord Murphy, Lord Murray is the younger brother of a prince of the Clarkley Business Kingdom!"
