Chapter Ninety-Nine: Mountain Barbarian Cavalry, Gold Mine, Design (Addition)

The people in the convoy who found the mountain barbarian cavalry attacking screamed, and the convoy was in chaos......

"Sedercamp, you went over and let the convoy restore order, but forty or fifty mountain barbarian savages, what is there to be afraid of. Guards, follow me to the front!" Lorist mused.

Just as the one or twenty guards around the convoy were riding horses and panicking behind Lorlist, they saw a chestnut blue horse in front of the convoy coming out in a row, and greeted the mountain barbarian cavalry galloping in the distance. The knight on the horse stretched out his big cyan bow, and the mountain barbarian cavalry was about one hundred and fifty meters away from him, and the bowstring sounded like a thunderbolt that did not stop thundering......

One by one, the mountain barbarian cavalry was shot down under the horse by cyan lightning, and from a distance of 150 meters to 70 or 80 meters, the mountain barbarian cavalry fell from the horse, and there were more than 20 mountain barbarian cavalry......

The remaining twenty or thirty mountain barbarian cavalry reined in horror the galloping mount, suddenly let out a shout of chirping, turned their horses' heads and ran towards the mountains and forests behind them......

Josk took a deep breath, gently shook his arm, which was a little numb from the rapid shooting, and raised the cyan bow again. It's just that this time he didn't shoot fast, and the three arrows shot down the three mountain barbarian cavalry who fell last. Seeing that the mountain barbarian cavalry was about to enter the woods, Josk put away his bow and didn't want to shoot again.

But I saw one of the mountain barbarians turn around, stop at the edge of the woods, look back and point at Chosk, and there was a burst of shouting and gesturing, although I couldn't hear it clearly, and it was not a good thing to think about. Josk was furious, and shot his bow again.

The mountain cavalry hurriedly ducked down, and even though he was quick to dodge, Joske's arrow flew away from his leather helmet with bird feathers, and struck a thick pine tree behind him, which shook for a while, and then broke off from the middle arrow, and the top half of the pine tree fell downward.

Josk's arrow actually broke the pine tree, and the mountain barbarian cavalry who escaped the disaster raised his head, and his long golden hair was scattered without his helmet, and it turned out to be a mountain barbarian female cavalryman. Although the mountain barbarian cavalry was lucky enough to dodge Chosk's arrow, she was so frightened that she didn't even notice that half of the pine tree on it had fallen down. However, a few mountain barbarian cavalry came out of the woods, and led her mount into the mountain forest to avoid this catastrophe.

The branches of the half-falling pine trees hanging from the trees next to them finally fell to the ground, and a large puff of dust and smoke was raised, and when the dust and smoke cleared, the traces of the mountain barbarian cavalry had disappeared from the woods.

If it weren't for the corpses of the more than twenty mountain barbarian cavalry scattered on the ground and the horses that lost their riders wandering around, the scene of the dozens of mountain barbarian cavalry rushing just now suddenly seemed to be like a dream, as if it didn't exist.

Josk turned his horse and walked back, and the convoy, which had already calmed down, burst into cheers: "Divine arrow! Divine arrow......

Lorist stepped forward, patted Joske on the shoulder and said, "Good job!"

Then raise Joske's right hand and shout loudly to the convoy: "Joske......"

The people in the convoy responded enthusiastically: "Josk, Josk, Arrow, Josk......"

Josk touched his nose and said a little embarrassed, "My lord, it's a little too much." ”

Lorist said, "Joe, you deserve it. ”

......

Because of the encounter with the wandering mountain barbarian cavalry, in order to prevent the fleeing mountain barbarian cavalry from attracting more attackers, Lorist decided not to stop by the small lake in front of him to rest, and let the convoy continue on its way.

Sedcamp led a few guards to collect the mounts of the mountain barbarian cavalry, and searched the bodies for weapons. Lorist beckoned Steward Hansk and Steward Kodan over and asked them if it was common for the mountain barbarians to haunt the area.

Hansk shook his head: "My lord, I have never heard of the mountain barbarians appearing here, and there is no record in the family. Generally speaking, the mountain barbarians operate in the area of the clan territory near the Demon Dragon Mountain Range. However, this place is far away from the Demon Dragon Mountains, more precisely, this belongs to the Black Forest and the Wasteland Hills, although the family does not have troops stationed in this area and does not know the daily situation, but in the past hundred years, the family has never met the mountain barbarians in this area. I'm more convinced that it's a group of mountain barbarian cavalry that occasionally wanders here. ”

After touching the corpses, he cleaned up the battlefield, and let a few guards lead the twenty or so mounted mounts in the back. Rode his horse to Lorist.

"My lord, look at this. Sedkamp handed over a couple of small leather bags.

Lorist untied a leather bag and poured it into his left palm, revealing a small pile of yellow sand in the palm of his hand.

"Sands!" cried Steward Kedan and Steward Hansk.

"My lord, the mountain barbarian cavalry who were shot dead by Lord Chosk basically had such a leather bag with golden sand on them, and I found this on one of them. "In his hand, he had a gold nugget the size of a thumb.

"Doghead Gold!" Lorlist's eyes lit up.

"My lord, I suspect that there may be gold mines in this mountain forest or hilly area, and those mountain barbarian cavalry may have appeared here for gold mines. I suggest that the adults should send someone to search this area, and if gold mines are found, then the family will not have to worry about not having the funds to develop the territory. Steward Codan said eagerly.

Lorist took the small piece of dog's head gold in Sedekamp's hand, checked it, looked carefully for a while, looked up at the mountain beam in the distance, and looked at the forest where the escaped mountain barbarian cavalry disappeared, and finally shook his head: "We don't have enough force now, and we don't have enough manpower to develop this area. Even if there is a gold mine, it is difficult to guarantee that it will be able to mine it smoothly. It is more likely that our family will be entangled with the mountain barbarians for the gold mine, and maybe the price we pay for the gold mine far exceeds our income in the gold mine, and the gains outweigh the losses. Give up first, the gold mine doesn't have long legs, it can't run. Wait a little longer

After a while, when our northbound convoy arrived, we had the strength to send troops to scout the area. ”

......

The convoy finally arrived at the castle site at about ten o'clock in the evening, for Miss Theresti had been informed in advance that the slave labourers had prepared their camps and arranged a hot meal for the men who had traveled all day.

Lorist took a bite of bread and asked Reddy, who was standing aside, "Where's Miss Theresty?"

"My lord, Miss Tresti waited until ten o'clock to go to bed, and entrusted me with the management of this place. If you're looking for her, I'm going to call her up?" said Reddy.

"Forget it, what I'm going to ask is how the wall in front of me is progressing now? Anyway, I'll be able to see it tomorrow morning, so don't bother her if it's okay. By the way, Reddy, I'm going to call Butler Boris over, I've got something to ask him. Lorist said.

The grimacing Butler Boris soon appeared in front of Lorist.

"Oh, Steward Boris, what's the matter with you, you look like you're about to cry, what's the matter?" Lorist was very curious at first sight.

Butler Boris knelt down in front of Lorliste: "My lord, save my family, if Viscount Kenmax knows that I have surrendered and served my lordship, he will definitely not let my family go." ”

Lorist was taken aback: "You get up first, Butler Boris." If you have something to say, you tell me where your family is now, and I'll see if I can bring them over and reunite your family. ”

Butler Boris refused to get up, knelt on the ground and said: "My lord, my family is in the Red River Valley Manor Castle in the territory of Viscount Kenmeth, and in two days it will be the castle construction site where the Kenmas family will deliver supplies here again. As long as the convoy carrying supplies arrives and finds that the castle site has been occupied by the Norton family, my family will be finished at the Red River Valley Manor Castle when the news comes back, and they will definitely be punished by Lord Viscount Kenmeth. The Viscount doesn't care if I'm alive or dead, he just thinks that the occupation of the castle site is a dereliction of duty on the part of us who are responsible for the construction management. He's definitely going to take his anger out on our family, he's the temperament, I know that. I can't sleep these days. Please, sir......"

"You get up first, Butler Boris, I came to you to ask for details of the Kenmath family's transport convoy, how many vehicles they have, how many escorts they have, and I will see if I can eat this transport convoy. Besides, tell me about the situation in the Red River Valley Manor, and I'll see if I can get your family out. Lorist reassured.

It is a matter of life and death for the family, and the situation introduced by Butler Boris this time is even more detailed. He said that the convoy that arrived on 10 June had more than 400 carts transporting supplies, and according to the practice of the previous transports, 200 carts were transporting 3,000 barrels of glue and rattan juice, 15 barrels per cart, 100 catties per barrel, and 2,000 catties per cart attached to the wooden barrels. The remaining more than 200 carts were carrying grain, all kinds of bacon and wax meat, wine, cloth, construction tools and other materials.

The escort convoy should have arrived at the Flying Feather Mercenary Group, which was very active in the Northwest during the Civil War, and it was a mercenary group, with about two hundred of them, marked by a white goose feather stuck in the hat of the member. The head of the regiment is called Adams, three stars of silver, and he is an old fritter who has been in battle for a long time, and there are more than ten silver-level experts in the Flying Feather Mercenary Group, and the rest are all black iron and bronze ranks. In order to hire this flying feather mercenary group, the Kenmax family paid a lot of money, and they were the main force in the hands of Viscount Kenmeth.

The castle of the Red River Valley Manor in the Viscount of Kenmax is about a day's journey from the castle site here, and it can be reached by horseback for about six or seven hours. It is now a staging station, with countless food and construction materials piled up, managed by Viscount Kenmeth's Grand Butler Pelado, and guarded by a dozen Kenmas family guards.

Not far from the Red River Valley Manor Castle is an immigrant town established by the Kenmath family at a great cost to collect the displaced people, with more than 2,000 people and a garrison of 100 people. However, if the Kenmath family had to transport 1,000 slave laborers to the castle site two days later, the 100-strong garrison would also escort them.

After the introduction of the situation by the butler Boris, Lorist asked him if it was possible to lure the convoy of the Kenmas family to the castle construction site and force the Flying Feather mercenary group to surrender by force, so that we could obtain that large amount of supplies?

Butler Boris replied that it was a bit difficult, and that Adams, the leader of the Flying Feather Mercenary Regiment, was very cunning and suspicious. He knew a lot of mercenaries who had been stationed here before, and if he hadn't spotted the mercenaries he knew at the top of the city when the convoy arrived, he probably wouldn't have entered the castle site.

Lorist looked at Joske, who was sitting next to him and was munching on a meat bone, and asked, "How is it?

Josk put down his bones, picked up the linen napkin on the table, wiped his mouth, and said, "My lord, don't bother with any schemes, give me a small team of guards, and I can destroy this flying feather mercenary group in the field and grab the transport convoy." ”

Lorist laughed: "No, I'm worried about too many casualties in the field, you think about it, our guards are all bandits, and they have not undergone formal military training at all. It's okay to fight downwind, but if you run into a hard bone, you will be guaranteed to suffer a lot, and you don't know what battle formation to cooperate with them. For mercenaries who have been in battle for a long time like the Flying Feather Mercenary Group, as long as they form a battle formation, these guards of ours will suffer a big loss. ”

Ovicis, who was sitting at the bottom of Josk, protested dissatisfiedly: "My lord, we are now soldiers of your family, not bandits. ”

Lorist waved his hand at Ovikis: "Okay, don't be pretentious, I'm just making an analogy." ”

"If we trick the Flying Feather mercenary group and the convoy into the castle construction site, it will be the equivalent of shutting down the door and beating the dogs, not only will we be able to reduce the casualties, but we will also be able to force them to surrender with the crossbows of the vehicles defending the city. Didn't the leader of that mercenary group know the mercenaries who surrendered to us before, and that's easy to do. Pat......" Lorist exclaimed.

Pat stood up.

"You rush to Huyang Beach overnight and ask those mercenaries if they want to make extra money, as long as they can help us lure the Flying Feather Mercenary Group into the castle construction site, that one person will be rewarded with ten gold fords, and I will only need twenty people. Whether they say yes or not, you will be back on the morning of the 9th. Understood?" commanded Lorlist.

"Yes, my lord, I'll go. ”

"Well, thank you for your hard work, be careful on the road, pay attention to safety......"
