Chapter Ninety-Five: Collingworth Collier
Early the next morning, the Hammer Tribe headed north.
The migration of thousands of tribes was not easy, especially when it took a whole day for the Hammer tribe to reach the savannah, despite the fact that it was not very high.
The grassland in early spring is the time when new grass sprouts and everything recovers, and the cold wind from the north cannot blow away the breath of spring.
The endless Hulun steppe, the last territory of the Beamon Beast Clan!
Many orcs who have never walked out of the great forest in their lives can't help but shed tears when they see this rich land that has given birth to countless Bimon heroes for the first time, and even kneel on the ground to pay the highest respect to the beast god.
People living in peace cannot understand the yearning for a better life for these displaced people in the forest.
And now, they see hope.
It's just that there is a long way to go, and not many people know where the Hammer Tribe will go, and the people in the tribe just follow without regret with their trust in Leon and Elder Munstan.
"We'll camp here for now, and we'll make plans when I get back from Glai. Leon said, pointing ahead.
There is a small river that meanders through the grassland, and the water and grass are abundant, and the terrain is open, so it is not a problem to use it as a temporary camp.
"Brother Lei, look!"
As soon as Leon's words fell, Rose next to him suddenly pointed to the northeast and said, "Someone is coming." ”
Leon looked in the direction she was pointing, and sure enough, he saw dust and smoke rolling up on the grassland on that side, and dozens of horsemen were hurrying towards their location.
Rock Hammer couldn't help but pick up the battle axe, and Leon shook his head and said, "It won't be horse thief enemies, they don't have many people. ”
If it was really an enemy, a single shot of the Thunder Beast Warrior would be enough to wipe them all out, unless there was a high-level Beast Soul Warrior among the opponents.
The other party came quickly, and in the blink of an eye, they approached the migration team of the Hammer Tribe.
Such a distance is enough for Leon and the others to see the faces of future people clearly.
There were about twenty horsemen on the other side, and they were basically wolf-descended warriors riding wildebeests, wearing leather armor with bows and swords, and they looked very strong.
The leader was a samurai riding a giant wolf mount, with a sturdy body and a cold expression, especially a pair of gray-brown wolf eyes that were shining.
The wolf rode to a halt a dozen paces away from Leon, and the fanged giant wolf mount gasped, its crimson wolf eyes flashing fiercely, as if it was ready to pounce at any moment.
It's just that no matter how fierce it is, it can't scare Leon and the others, and Leon, Rock Hammer, and Rose's mounts are all thousands of pounds of bronze-armored rhinoceros, and they are still above the giant wolf in terms of physique.
The wolf knight glanced at a few people and said in a deep voice, "Wanderer, you have broken into the territory of the Collingworth family, please leave immediately to avoid unpleasant things happening!"
There was a hint of pride in his tone, and he didn't take into account the huge disparity in numbers between the two sides, showing a strong sense of confidence.
"Knight, we're not wanderers..."Leon said lightly, "We are the Hammer Tribe who just migrated from the Whooting Forest, and we have no intention of offending the majesty of House Collingworth, but we need a place to stay for the time being." ”
"Wuthering Forest, Hammer Tribe?" the wolf knight was taken aback, "How did you cross the Nucang River? Isn't the Whistling Forest already falling, how can there still be a big tribe like you? and what about those goblins?"
He really couldn't believe Leon's explanation, but it was impossible for such a large tribe to suddenly appear here, and it was impossible for them to migrate from somewhere else, which made the wolf knight's mind a little confused.
"Although the Wuthering Forest has fallen, our resistance has never stopped..."Leon smiled, "These green-skinned goblins are our captive slaves, Your Excellency Knight, I would like to pay a visit to your lordship, and I will explain it in detail when the time comes." ”
The wolf knight was silent for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay, I'll take you there, but your entourage can only bring a maximum of three people." ”
"Thank you very much!" Leon saluted the other party: "Leon of the Hammer Tribe, it's a pleasure to meet Your Excellency!"
"You're welcome, you're the pride of our Beamon, I'm Concordia Collingworth Wolff, the Wolf Knight of House Collingworth, the First Cavalry of the Guard. The wolf knight returned a standard knightly salute.
Knowing the origin of Leon and the others, the knight couldn't help but have a little more respect in his heart, if Leon didn't lie, all the orcs who insisted on fighting in the Wuthering Forest could be called heroes.
For the sake of safety, Leon only brought Rock Hammer and Akran with him, leaving Rose behind.
With Concordia's acquiescence, the Hammer tribe began to camp by the creek.
The three of Leon followed Concordia's team all the way northeast, and after about a sandy hour, when the sun was just setting, they saw a majestic castle standing at the foot of a mountain not far away.
Terran territories are centered around fortified castles and surrounded by farmlands and farms, so that all the lords can take refuge in castles if they are attacked by the enemy.
The noble lords of the Beamon Kingdom completely followed the practice of the Terrans, and this castle was backed by a mountain range, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, although the scale was not very large, but it was impossible to take it through a strong attack without paying a heavy price.
A river from the mountains runs through the side of the castle, and along the river is a large area of cultivated farmland dotted with farmhouses and farmsteads.
Although it is not yet the time for spring sowing, there are already many farmers busy in the fields, and there is a vibrant scene.
The cavalry marched directly along the main road towards the castle, and soon stepped onto the drawbridge erected over the moat, and the soldiers guarding the city gate immediately saluted Concordia, and then looked at Leon and the others who followed with astonishment.
Concordia returned the salute and drove straight into the streets of Collingworth Castle with the captain.
The horses' hooves trampled on the smooth, hard stone with a crisp roar, and the pedestrians in the streets consciously made way for the cavalry.
Leon found the castle to be quite new, with little moss on the walls of the rows of houses, apparently not much to be built.
Like most orc cities, Collingworth Castle is a mess, with unattended garbage piled up on both sides of the road, ragged children picking things up, wanderers everywhere, and a foul smell in the air.
However, the situation was much better when approaching the Lord's Palace in the center of the castle, which was a gathering place for the nobility and the wealthy, with many high-rise buildings and villas with gardens, and guards patrolling the streets.
Eventually, Concordia came to a halt in front of a huge mansion and jumped off the back of the wolf rider.
"Your Excellency Leon, please wait here, I'll go and report to your lord first!" he said to Leon slightly apologetically, "Soon." ”
"It's okay, please..."Leon smiled, "We'll wait here!"
He had a good impression of the wolf knight, a bit serious and rigid, but there was no lack of chivalry with integrity and strength.
After Concordia left, Leon wondered how he could negotiate with the lords of Colinworth and get them to agree to temporarily let the Hammer Tribe stay for a while.
He didn't know anything about the lord's temperament other than his name, and although he didn't expect the other party to be too aggressive with his compatriots who had migrated from the Wuthering Forest, who could guarantee that Collingworth's side wouldn't have some crooked thoughts?
"Hey, who are you, and why are you at my doorstep?"
While Leon was meditating, a voice suddenly came from the side.
Leon turned his head to look and found that there were more than a dozen horsemen next to him, led by two young wolf-descended nobles, a man and a woman.
The one who questioned Leon was the wolf-descended girl, who was probably fifteen or sixteen years old, and had just left Lori's category.
She has a goose-egg-shaped face that is rare for wolf descendants, large black and shiny eyes, fluffy ears, and a small red mouth, which makes her very cute.
The werewolf knight next to him was much older, healthy and handsome, and looked at Leon and the others with the same curious gaze.
These two should be the direct descendants of the Collingworth family, right? Leon's heart moved, and he smiled: "Hello, we are here to meet Lord Viscount Mellor. ”
"Meet my father?" said the wolfborn girl, her eyes widened, and she said in surprise, "It's dinner time!"
It was rude to visit someone at dinner time, and it was even more suspicious of rubbing food, but Leon was not ashamed in the slightest: "We are an unexpected visitor, and I don't think we will disturb the Viscount's dinner, Miss Collingworth!"
He winked at the girl.
"Do you know me?" The young daughter of the Collingworth family was probably a little stunned, and her originally big eyes were a little bigger again: "I don't think I've seen you..."
"Ahem!"
The handsome guy next to him finally couldn't stand it anymore, coughed a few times vigorously and said, "Sister, let's go in first, I think my mother is waiting for us!"
He nodded at Leon, jumped off the horse, and held his sister with his arms outstretched.
The girl probably felt a little embarrassed in front of outsiders, kicked her feet and blushed and shouted: "I can do it myself, I don't want you to hug me, my brother hates it the most!"
The handsome guy had a green tendon protruding from his forehead, and dragged his sister into the mansion without saying a word, probably feeling too embarrassed.
Leon shook his head with a smile, the two siblings were quite interesting.
At the same moment, in a study at Collingworth House, Mellor, Lord of Collingworth, had just finished listening to Concordia's message.
