Half a month later, a team of five hundred people set out from Ziyang City and marched towards Black Rock City, six hundred miles to the east. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

These 500 people are basically the territory soldiers of Blackstone City, three months ago, the general of the Bretan Army, Lieton led an army of 100,000 troops from the northeast of the Gilgidian Kingdom to invade, and Lieton captured the three cities in the northeast of the Gilgidian Kingdom, Blackstone City, Cold Water City and Giant Wood City.

Lieton suffered a heavy setback in the attack on Ziyang City, losing nearly half of his soldiers but still unable to capture Ziyang City, and finally Lieton had to lead his army across the Sky Dome Mountains towards the defense line of Fanxin Lake in the south of the Gilgidian Kingdom.

After the Black Rock City was captured by the Brettan army, Bogura fled into Ziyang City with his younger brother, and Lewin Nolan, the lord of Ziyang City, appreciated Bogula's talent and made Bogula the commander of the seventh battalion of the Purple Sun City Territory Army.

Two months have passed since the defense of Ziyang City, and the war between the Bretan Kingdom and the Gilgian Kingdom has also ended, and now Meng Fan, who has been named the lord of Black Rock City by the king, is rushing to his territory.

"Let's camp here tonight. After speaking to the hundreds of soldiers behind him, Bogura jumped off his horse, and the soldiers took down tents, iron frames, dry rations, and other items from their wagons and prepared for camp.

Sitting under a pine tree, Meng Fan took a sip of water from the kettle, "Come, lord, eat an apple." Parker grinned and handed a cleaned apple to Meng Fan.

"Parker, I've said it all, don't call me that, it sounds awkward. Taking the apple handed by Parker, Meng Fan said dissatisfiedly.

"Haha, Lord Claude, you are indeed a lord now, Parker is right to call you that, you see, we are now on our way to your territory of Blackstone. The brown-haired man sitting next to him was cutting a branch with a knife.

This burly brown-haired man was named Gruya, who was once the city guard of Ironstream City, and in the Sky Dome Mountains, the Ironstream Territory Army was completely wiped out, and Emmons Gerry, the son of Philip Gerry, the lord of Ironstream, was also killed.

After surviving the incident, Gruya returned to Ziyang City and assassinated Maramo, the commander of the Yushan City Territory Army, who had turned his back on his side in the Heavenly Dome Mountains, but Gruya himself was seriously injured and was finally rescued by Meng Fan and Bogula.

After more than a month of cultivation in Ziyang City, Gruya's body basically recovered, and Gruya didn't want to go back to Tieliu City, so he followed Meng Fan, Bogula and others to Black Rock City.

"Gruya, you really want to come to work under me, Blackstone City is a small city compared to Iron Flow City. After taking a bite of the apple, Meng Fan spoke.

There are more than 500,000 people in the territory of Tieliu City, but there are only more than 70,000 people in the territory of Black Rock City where Meng Fan is about to go.

"Lord Claude, in the Heavenly Dome Mountain Range, the 30,000 territory army has been wiped out, and the lord's son is also dead, I can't go back to Iron Flow City, I am already very happy to be able to follow Lord Claude to Black Rock City. Gruya handed the cut branch in his hand to Golding, the attendant on the side, and Golding hung a piece of bacon on the branch, and Golding would be responsible for making dinner for Meng Fan and the others later.

"Gruya, a warrior like you, no matter where you go, will be reused. Meng Fan's brother Bogula walked over from the side.

Bogula is a beginner-level Dou Qi Martial Artist, in battle, a beginner-level Dou Qi Martial Artist will not fall into a disadvantage when fighting with dozens of enemies alone, and Bogula knows that the former Iron Flow City City Defense Officer Gruya is a mid-level Dou Qi Martial Artist, and a middle-level Dou Qi Martial artist can deal with hundreds of enemies alone, once he uses his Dou Qi, even a cavalry wearing heavy armor can be split in half with a single sword.

"Lord Bogula, you and Lord Claude have saved my life, and I, Gruya, am not an ungrateful person who works for others wherever I go, so why don't I work under my benefactor?" Grua said with a smile as he picked up a new branch.

"Gruja, thank you. Meng Fan said gratefully, "Lord Claude, you don't need to thank me, I have heard about the events on the Red Flame Plain, Lord Claude, you can come up with such a great strategy to defeat the Bretan army, Lord Claude, I believe that you will be able to become an excellent lord, and it is my honor to be able to work under a good lord." Gruja replied.

"Haha, Gruja, you're right, I used to think that my brother was a fool, but I didn't expect that Claude was a real genius. Bogula squatted beside Meng Fan, reached out and rubbed Meng Fan's hair vigorously.

After the end of the defense of Ziyang City, Lewin Nolan, the lord of Ziyang City, promised to promote Bogula to his family knight, but later because of a series of battles such as the Heavenly Dome Mountain Range and the Fanxin Lake defense line, Bogula's promotion to the family knight was delayed, and after the war, the Marquis of Lewin was ready to fulfill his promise, but Bogura proposed to give up this honor, and Bogura wanted to return to Blackstone City with his younger brother, Claude, who was given the title of Lord of Blackstone City by the king.

Black Rock City is the hometown of the two brothers, Claude and Bogula, although Black Rock City is much smaller than Ziyang City, but Bogura thinks that it is better to be able to return to his hometown and be with his brother Claude than in Ziyang City.

After six days of marching, Meng Fan and the others finally arrived at Black Rock City, Meng Fan sat in the carriage, and the left and right sides of the carriage were Bogula and Gruya on horseback, respectively, followed by five hundred soldiers.

Meng Fan saw through the window of the carriage that there were many tents outside Black Rock City, and many yellow-faced and thin-skinned people lived in these dilapidated tents.

"Big brother," Meng Fan shouted by the window, "Who are these people?" Meng Fan pointed to the people living in the tents outside the city.

"It's refugees. Bogula, who was on horseback, replied, "Refugees?" Meng Fan looked at the ragged people who were moving near the tents, "They all fled from the Giant Wood City, Claude, the first city captured by the Bretans after the invasion was the Giant Wood City, the Bretans burned and looted in the Giant Wood City, and many people fled to the Black Rock City. Bogura continued.

Leighton led 100,000 Bretan troops to invade from the northeast of the Kingdom of Gilgias through the Frank Kingdom, and the Bretan army captured the three cities of Giant Wood City, Cold Water City and Black Rock City, Giant Wood City was the first city captured by the Bretan army because of the border with the Kingdom of France, and the Bretan army looted in the Giant Wood City, killing some people and burning many houses.

Meng Fan's carriage drove into Blackstone City, and several people were waiting for him in Blackstone City, "Claude, they are the representatives of the nobility in Blackstone City. Bogula motioned for Meng Fan to go and say hello to these people.

Meng Fan got out of the carriage, "Lord Lord." Several men in sumptuous robes saluted in unison, "Lord Claude, welcome back to Blackstone City..." The nobles all knew that the new Lord of Blackstone City, Claude Kuru, was originally from Blackstone City.
