In other words, these knights joined the army of prophets in a steady stream, and they were paying a 'threshold fee' to the three prophets.

The tuition fees charged by these three life mentors were quite expensive—just an ordinary knight like Morgan contributed a thousand dinars and a few thousand pounds of food, which was probably all his savings.

More than two hundred knights, adding up...... No wonder the camp of the Three Prophets was so extravagant, no wonder the women's equipment was so gorgeous.

It seems that this is also the reason why Mrs. Bella bought a lot of grain.

There are also doom inducers around her, and it is estimated that the routine is similar, but Lady Bella has been brainwashed more deeply, and it seems that she is about to become some kind of 'blood oath witch'.

From this doom inducer, Leon could easily think of what Lady Bella wanted—what could be more important to a middle-aged and elderly woman than a young and beautiful face?

And Lady Bella will take revenge on Alma's Horton family.

Of course, she offered a higher tuition fee - she was willing to sacrifice the town of Long River to the Three Prophets and supply the army with 300,000 pounds of food.

Leon could even think of why the Three Prophets had responded to Lady Bella's call to come to River, which would not belong to Lady Bella's in a few months.

And if Lady Bella was still in the town of Long River, then the three prophets would probably have entered the town by now.

After clearing his mind, Leon told the leaders what he had seen and heard in the camp of the Prophet's Legion.

"Lord Godric, you said that the Mad King once cooperated with the Three Prophets, so that must have been at least thirty years ago, right?"

Leon asked.

Godric nodded, "As far as I know, it's been almost exactly thirty years, and there have been a lot of rumors about the Three Prophets by then. ”

Leon shook his head and sighed, gesturing at the face of the doom inducer.

"Thirty years ago, the Three Prophets were twenty or thirty years old, and they deceived people with their beauty. And now...... In this way, they still have the beauty of twenty or thirty years old, and they have cultivated more doom inducers...... The Mad King must have wanted to stay as young as them! ”

Godric sighed, "It seems that he thought that the Three Prophets could make him immortal...... But he didn't know that it was just a change of skin! ”

Several people looked at each other, all with solemn expressions.

Baron Leofrick also frowned: "So their troops will continue to be joined...... Even if they know that they are heretics, those people will protect them, and everyone has their own wishes...... And immortality, who doesn't want to......"

"They must be killed as soon as possible, they dare to openly attack the town of Changhe, and they have clearly penetrated the kingdom deeply. If you can't get rid of them quickly, there will definitely be more nobles and knights in Long River Town who will be lured by them...... That's when it's even more troublesome! ”

Ralph said worriedly.

This veteran fighter, who does not like political struggles, gets to the point.

Li Ang nodded: "That's right, they will besiege Changhe Town but not attack, maybe it's for this...... Those Doom Inducers will probably keep going to the surrounding villages and towns in search of noble prey! And Changhe Town has not been attacked now, but I am afraid that it is thanks to the order of Forsette to guard against heresies......"

"Thanks to you for letting Forsette take Lady Bella...... However, we have little certainty of attacking them now—but if we wait any longer, their armies will grow larger and larger, and there will be more food and grass, and we will not be able to consume them. ”

Godric was also a little anxious and in a dilemma.

"It's getting bigger...... More and more grain and grass ......"

Leon muttered, then stood up, "I have an idea!" The bigger their ranks, the more chaotic they will be! ”

Several people turned their heads to look at Li Ang.

"Those nobles who join the Prophet's legion will provide the Three Prophets with food and supplies...... Morgan also said that this is the threshold or condition for asking the prophet to give 'guidance'...... So, can we try it too, we just happen to be pulling so much grain! ”

The lord looked at Baron Leofrick.

"Your Excellency Leon, what are you looking at me for?"

Leofrick was probably panicked by the sight: "You don't want me to go undercover with food, do you?" ”

The lord smiled innocently, "Baron Leofrick is really smart...... That's what I mean! The grain that Lady Bella bought from the Countess, and the Countess had sent it to Changhe Town, which was just in line with the expectations of the Prophet's Legion......"

Leofrick took a few steps back, his voice trembling a little: "Don't, don't! I'm definitely going to be exposed! I think it's more appropriate for you to go undercover......"

Li Ang sighed heavily: "But I was discovered by those doom inducers just now, they will definitely recognize me." And by all accounts, you're the right person right now......"

That's right, the lord has just been discovered, and he has fought with the Doom Inducer, so he must not go undercover again;

Baron Godric was too famous and unsuitable, and he was to lead the army;

Ralph was a straight man and didn't speak much, and this kind of work was not for him;

And Charles will be considered a small role, and he will not be taken seriously when he goes undercover, but he is afraid that he will be treated as a marginal person like Morgan and will not be able to see the core personnel.

Then only Leofrick was left - Lady Bella was looking for the Countess to buy food, and the one-meter-high doom inducer must have known about it, and maybe she was the one who handled it, and sent it from Baron Leofrick in Shield Castle must have been completely in line with the original plan of the Prophet Legion.

Leofrick is now in his thirties, which is the age of ambition, and it should be very much in line with the taste of the Three Prophets and the Doom Usher in choosing their prey.

The status of a baron is not too big or too small, it can be taken seriously, but it will not make the Prophet Legion too vigilant......

Exactly the perfect fit.

"Come on, Lord Baron, try it, anyway, you have more cavalry and horses under your command, and even if something goes wrong, you have a better chance of escaping......"

The lord's demagogic tone is probably not much different from that of the divine stick: "Besides, there happens to be a doom inducer here, and he can also act as a so-called 'guide'......"

"Ahem, she's like this, I'm afraid I can't guide her, right?"

Leofric Khan had come down, and if it weren't for the fact that his troops were still in the camp, the baron would have fled from the gate.

The Doom Inducer was still lying in the open package, and the skin on his face had just been ripped by Leon......

"This is easy to do......"

The lord squatted down and began to have plastic surgery on the spot, pulling the ends of the face and pulling it, barely stretching her face tightly and smoothly again.

I don't know how they managed to keep their skin from growing together with their muscles, but still maintain their elasticity and activity, which is probably really caused by witchcraft.

"Lord Leon, I mean--this Doom Inducer, she won't cooperate with us, I think the Prophet Legion will probably kill me first, and then steal the food......"

Leofrick gestured to the unconscious woman in the package.

"Isn't there another Morgan Knight...... A knight who has already proven himself with money and food is very reasonable to introduce a superior lord to the past, right? ”

The lord lifted Morgan up and put him in front of the Doom Usher.

"Lord Morgan, you don't mind helping Baron Leofrick get in, do you? You see, the Three Prophets let this woman cheat you out of all your savings with a false face...... Don't you want to take revenge? ”

Morgan was still muttering something in his mouth, and he didn't answer with tears in his eyes.

But the lord quickly made his eyes firm: "You want the Three Prophets to guide you to quickly increase your power and wealth...... But now, here are three barons who can make it happen! If you help us destroy the armies of the Three Prophets, we will surely gain power and wealth as a result! ”

"But if you're not happy, then you're a knight who follows heresy, and you should know what the end is......"

What happens to following heresy?

It doesn't matter if you don't get caught, but if you do, you will be burned at the stake.

Morgan shuddered and looked at the lord, "So, what should I do?" ”

"Take your baby back, this woman doesn't know anything anyway, she only knows that she was knocked unconscious by a few rough men. Say you've got the help of Baron Leofrick to kill the rude men and save your big darling...... Then tell her that your friend Baron Leofrick has brought the Prophet 300,000 pounds of food - I'm sure you'll be warmly received by the Prophet's legion, and maybe you'll even get up close and personal with the 'beautiful Prophets'! ”

The lord stood and spoke without a backache at all.

Baron Leofrick was a little flustered: "Is this okay...... Baron Leon, don't push me into the fire pit! ”

Leon laughed, "Lord Leofric is so clever, I just planned to turn the granary of the Prophet Legion into a fire pit!" ”

Leofrick was dumbfounded: "Huh? What do you mean? ”

"Take your wagons, haul tens of thousands of pounds of grain and load them, and then the rest of the wagons are loaded with flammable firewood. Taking advantage of the opportunity to 'deliver food', he set fire to the Prophet's camp! Our army will storm whenever they see a fire! We will definitely succeed in one battle! ”

Leon gestured on the map and explained his plan: "As long as you can burn their food and grass, the more they are, the faster they will collapse!" And judging from the behavior of those doom inducers and the situation of the prophet's camp, their military ability is not good, and the chances of success are very high! ”

Leofrick shook his head profusely and begged Godric for help: "Lord Godric, look at this...... I'm not good at arson! ”

But Godric was obviously very confident in the lord's intelligence, and waved his hand: "That's it!" Baron Leofrick, we will do our best to assist you. ”

Leofrick looked at Ralph with a sad face.

Ralph gave a knightly salute, "It's all for our hometown, my lord." ”

Charles added directly to the side: "Uncle Ralph means that the Horn Summoning Ranger Regiment will also strongly support the defense of Fort Brave......"

Oh, Baron Leofrick is really hard to refuse, so he can only agree to it.

Just do it, and while the doom inducer hadn't woken up yet, the improvised undercover arson plan began to be laid out overnight.

Thousands of people began to look for firewood, and within a few hours more than 200 wagons were freed up and loaded with firewood and some oil.

In the vicinity of each carriage, there were several dead logs with branches and leaves sprinkled with sulfur to light a fire quickly - in fact, the dried dead wood soaked or sprinkled with sulfur powder was the "match" of the era, which could be ignited quickly by striking a little spark with flint.

The lord took Leofric and taught him the experience of killing and setting fires: "Let your soldiers not wear heavy armor and carry a shield on their backs to protect against arrows." Blindfold the horse, and when the fire is lit, cut off the shoulder strap of the horse, and let the soldiers abandon the carriage and charge on horseback...... Keep rushing forward and don't look back! Their camp has no walls, it's made of draped curtains, just rush over and run, and your men won't be too damaged! ”

Leofrick nodded frequently, he was a brave warrior after all, although his heart was a little empty, but mainly because he had never done such a job as an undercover agent.

After all, it is impossible for anyone who dares to guard the border to be a coward, and after he is sure to do it, he will no longer hesitate.

After listening to Leon's 'tutorial', Leofrick expressed his admiration meaningfully: "It seems that Baron Leon has done a lot of work...... I really didn't expect to be so skilled! ”

"Huh? …… Hey, don't get me wrong! It's the first time for me, too! The lord spread out his hands to show that he was definitely a good citizen.

"You kid can't really be a repeat offender, are you......"

Godric looked at Leon, his eyes full of suspicion: "When you don't fight, you are abducted and deceived, and when you fight, you kid either kidnaps or sets fire...... Amy won't learn from you......"

The lord's face was full of innocence, but he really didn't know how to explain it...... If you think about it, this seems to be a repeat offender, right?

You can't say that you learned it from various crime movies and games, right?

Fortunately, Ralph said righteously beside him: "Fighting a war is the same thing as being a hooligan - anyway, it's nothing more than cheating, kidnapping, extortion, murder, and arson, Lord Leon is a natural celebrity!" ”

Well! Right!

It always sounds a little off, but Ralph is right......

Since ancient times, famous generals have set fires, and the pit has been abducted and deceived into Zhuge !

But the lord still sighed sadly - he would probably be a 'hooligan habitual offender' in their eyes in the future, and it might not be easy to fool these people......

In fact, since the leaders in the room had all the intention to joke, it showed that they were still very confident in Li Ang's plan.

By midnight, all preparations were in place and the army was ready to go.

Baron Leofrick carried a huge infantry shield behind him, and looked back at the lord: "Your Excellency Leon, I'm leaving, if everything goes well, can you let me participate in your Maixiang Company?" ”

"Of course! In fact, even if you don't, you're welcome! But rest assured, your operation will go well! ”

tomato

It turned out that the kindness expressed by Leofric was for this ...... But Li Ang actually wished that a few more friendly nobles would join, and Mai Xiang Company was not simply to make money.

"I hope it is as you say...... Brothers! It's time to make a difference! Pande will leave your legend behind! ”

"Hah!"

Leofrick turned back to motivate his men, and with a neat shout, drove his horse away.

His men were apparently well trained, and made no more noise other than the neat response.

Leon and Godric stood in front of the combine, ready to go, watching Baron Leofrick move forward with a long convoy.

"Leofrick is actually a good man......"

Godric said suddenly.

"Oh? How so? ”

It was the first time that Leon had heard Godric praise a nobleman.

Over the past decade or so, he has saved at least five or six villages that have been robbed or routed, and those villages have nothing to do with him...... And a few years ago, he also saved the people of the Raven Kingdom on the battlefield, and one of the dragon knights of the Raven Kingdom fell under the cliff when he withdrew his army, and when the battle was suspended, he rescued the people...... He was a man who really cared about honor, and there were not many such nobles now. ”

Godric whispered as he looked at Leofrick's distant back.

Li Ang nodded: "He took over the dangerous task first, and then asked me if I could participate in the Maixiang Company, which can already explain his character." It's just that the tax collector he left in Kwen Village is really not a good thing......"

"Don't ramble! I mean...... You have to learn from others! Don't keep doing all this kidnapping, extortion, murder, and arson...... Your dad is impulsive and brainless, but he's a true hero! ”

Godric rolled his eyes and whispered.

"Uh-huh! I must reform my life and become a new person, strive to do good deeds every day, and be a good lord full of honor......"

Li Ang didn't intend to talk back to an elder who cared for him, so he agreed numbly, and changed the topic by the way: "Lord Godric, it's time for us to act." ”

Godric glared at him again, raised the sword in his hand, and shouted, "Forward!" ”

The army began to move slowly, keeping a distance of two or three miles after Baron Leofric's convoy.

All members of the Knights of the Owl were sent out to serve as scouts, and each night owl had a whistle on its body, which was their unique equipment, and they could use it to make owl calls and relay messages.

Maybe the Prophet Legion still has some military literacy, they actually sent a lot of scouts, but they didn't send their own troops - anyway, the Combine didn't encounter any female soldiers along the way, only a lot of knights.

This was probably sent by the knights who followed the prophet.

Guarding against night attacks and finding out the military situation was also an important task for the knights' servants.

At this time, Leon saw the best ability of night owls - scout warfare at night.

These guys who have been active at night for a long time can indeed spot the enemy's scouts first every time, and then a group of three or five people use whistles to transmit the night owl cry of "hooohoohooo ......" to cooperate with each other, and quietly surround them with the protection of the night, and few of those knights can escape.

Occasionally, the quicker ones will be easily shot by Ralph's rangers when they are chased by these night owls.

At three o'clock in the morning, when the movement was only about five miles from the camp of the Prophet Legion, the Combine halted and dispersed into different ranks in knightly units, waiting quietly in the pre-dawn darkness.
