Chapter Fifty-Nine: Ambush on All Sides

On this day, Sir Odom and his troops arrived at Dusk Castle. However, he was greeted not by the Count of Latour, but by Baron Fontaine and his private army.

"What's going on?Lather?why don't you come out and pick me up?" said Odom at Baron Fontaine on the wall, with a rather arrogant expression.

"You'll never see Latour again. Baron Fontaine raised his right hand in the air, then clenched it into a fist!

The next moment, an overwhelming array of arrows shot out of Lake Windermere, wiping out a quarter of Odom's forces in an instant.

Odom's face changed drastically, he took off the three-headed chain hammer hanging from the side of the saddle, and let out a roar with all his strength: "Rush over to me!" Odom is also a battle-hardened veteran, so he naturally knows how dangerous the situation is.

If he doesn't break through Dusk Castle in the shortest possible time, his troops will be wiped out!

In the first round of strikes, Odom's ranged troops were hit with a major blow. Nearly ninety percent of the archers died under the attack of the water arrows, and the priests and archmages who accompanied the army were also killed one by one by the giant crossbows of the city guard on the castle of Dusk. Therefore, he can only rush to the city with his personal guard iron horse, trying to capture Baron Fontaine.

"Wise choice!" Reilly smiled, and said to Baron Dan, "How are you going to deal with it?"

"I'd like to ask Mr. Reilly to help stop those guards. As for Odom...... Baron Fontaine drew his sword and said proudly: "I'll kill him!"

"No problem!" Reilly waved his hand, and dozens of puppet knights lined up at the head of the city, leaving only a path leading to Baron Fontaine.

Seeing this, Odom simply let the guards stay under the city, and he jumped onto the city and shouted, "Baron Fontaine!"

"Sir Odom!" Baron Fontaine raised his sword and pointed it at Odom. Reilly stepped aside, while letting the puppet knights stand more apart, leaving room for the two powerhouses to duel.

Odom looked hideous in a heavy black and red armor covered with sharp thorns. Baron Fontaine, on the other hand, wears a light chain mail, which does not affect his movements, but also brings a certain defensive effect. This is a triple enchanted armor specially customized by Reilly for Baron Fontaine, and its defensive power is no worse than the "epic equipment" of the Faro plane.

Odom picked up his massive three-headed hammer and slammed it head-on at Sir Fontaine, but instead of retreating, he stabbed a sword like lightning, striking exactly where the hammer's head met the hilt!

With a "snap", the hammer head of the three-headed chain hammer flew out like a broken kite, smashing the floor into a large hole. Odom's face changed drastically, and he swung his fist at Baron Fontaine. His body was wrapped with a red fighting aura as thick as blood, and he had already tried his best.

Baron Fontaine swept past Odom like a gale, then withdrew his sword from its scabbard.

Odom looked at the air in front of him in a daze, and muttered, "Your speed is so fast......"

Before he could finish speaking, his body collapsed with a bang. Baron Fontaine's vindictiveness had already crushed Odom's heart, and even if the Pope of Xerxes was invited, it would be impossible to revive him.

The next day, the news of Ser Odom's annihilation at Dusk Castle swept through the Redwood Kingdom like a raging wind, leaving the nobles watching the war stunned.

It was only at this time that it was discovered that Baron Fontaine had no intention of changing sides from the beginning. The reason why he pretended to take refuge with Earl Canglu was just to lure the enemy to his own territory and wipe them out.

After the end of the war, Baron Fontaine made a public declaration to return to the Duke of Wolf and formed an alliance with Sir Richard. Subsequently, the Count of Latour was released by Baron Fontaine and escorted back to the realm by more than a thousand surviving warriors.

Before leaving, the Count of Latour looked at Baron Fontaine deeply and said, "Aren't you afraid that I will forget about the ransom when I go back?"

Baron Fontaine smiled and said, "In my opinion, the credibility of Lord Latour cannot be measured by gold coins. So you don't have to wait for the ransom to arrive and you can return to your territory early. ”

Hearing this, Count Latour's face suddenly looked much better: "But why did you let these warriors go? ”

"What is that little gold compared to your safety?" said Baron Fontaine, waving his hand.

"You are so admirable!" was Latour's heartfelt words. After seeing Baron Fontaine's bearing, he suddenly felt that his performance just now was a bit hypocritical. So, the Count of Latour immediately left the Barony of Fontaine with his new escort.

At this time, Rayleigh was sitting on the back of a Kodomon, heading towards the Bloodstained Lands. After that great battle a few days ago, he got fifty more puppet knights, eight puppet priests, four puppet mages, and two Dawn Knights.

A few days later, Reilly arrived at the Blue Water Oasis. As soon as they met, Richard put a box on the table and said, "This is my recent harvest, you see if there is a need." ”

Inside the box were more than a dozen ores, each with a note indicating the amount of the ore.

Reilly looked at all the ores and asked, "You're going to sell them to me?"

Richard nodded and said, "I want a batch of puppet knights." ”

"No problem. Reilly readily agreed. Then he asked, "But where did you get these things?"

"Our old friend, the Red Cossacks. Richard said.

Reilly smiled playfully and said, "You robbed the caravan of the Red Cossacks?"

Richard stretched out his hand, knocked on the box on the table, and said, "Those goods, basically all here." ”

"What about the delivery person?"

"I killed all the guards and let everyone else go. ”

"Let them go?" Reilly raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why did you let those people go?"

"In order for them to bring back the news of my return to the Bloodstained Lands. Richard said lightly. He is neither merciful nor murderous now, and gradually has a mellow taste. Of course, this did not mean that Richard wanted to ease relations with the Red Cossacks. After being chased by the other party for more than a month, he decided to completely wipe out the caravan.

If Richard wants to make a difference in the Bloodstained Lands, he must show his power, and the best thing to do is to wipe a powerful force out of the land.

"So, how is your affair with the Red Cossacks going to end?" asked Reilly nonchalantly.

"They've me off completely. Richard said lightly: "So, this matter is not so easy to end. Whoever made the decision to hunt me down in the first place, he must die!"

Reilly shrugged his shoulders and said, "If it were me, at least all the main characters of the Red Cossacks would be exterminated before this matter could be put to rest." ”

Richard shook his head and said, "I'm not going to be as extreme as you. ”
