Livius did see with his own eyes the troops flying the Three Lions Banner chasing Leon's troops.

Out of some bad precaution, Livius didn't intend to help Leon out of the siege - he would have preferred to see Leon killed by the pursuing force......

But when he was about to watch the play, he saw that the unit holding the Three Lions Flag turned around and stopped chasing, probably seeing his Minfu Legion......

Livius was a stirring spirit, and hurriedly asked his subordinates to raise the banner of the 'Second Imperial Legion'.

Then the force of about 400 people in White Deer Fort stopped.

Looks like it scared them?

And Leon's small army came in circles and quickly came to the 'Second Imperial Army', entered the array of Livius, and began to confront the troops of Fort White Hart.

Livius is a little sorry that Leon didn't die here.

Then he saw a thick yellow smoke over Fort White Hart - it seemed that Febius had taken it, and Fort White Hart had been captured!

Levius was excited, and then began to slowly advance towards White Hart Castle with his army of people.

But then, his smile froze on his face.

Because the troops of White Deer Fort are beginning to march on him!

Does this show that the 2,000 people on his side have no combat effectiveness?

Also, it's really easy to see when it's close.

Fortunately, there are still more than 100 Shadow Infantry soldiers around him, and there are also more than 100 people under Li Ang, if the two sides work together, they should be able to withstand it for a while.

It won't be long before Febius will send troops to meet him, and it is only a few dozen miles from White Hart Fort......

Livius thought.

He didn't worry too much, but let the men around him defend themselves.

Leon also seemed to be cooperative, and spread his troops into the Levius lineup to assist in the defense, seemingly making up for the shortcomings of the Shadowfoot Infantry single unit being easily targeted.

The current terrain is mountainous, which is very suitable for guarding, and as long as the two hundred or so people are not chaotic, they can hold it for a long time.

As long as you can control those people, don't mess around.

Livius still has a lot of experience in fighting, he didn't panic at all, and deliberately let those people retreat without joining the battle, so as not to disturb their position.

Small kiosk

The people weren't messed up at all.

Leon was 'actively cooperating' with Livius and directing the men to retreat.

It can even be said that Leon is directing the people to retreat......

"As long as you are obedient, no one will die. But if anyone dares to run, I'll kill them all......"

The lord shouted with a loudspeaker made of makeshift leather.

Since Baron Leon, the 'monster general' who was blown up by the Bacchus country, was currently on his side, the people were not only not afraid, but also looked forward to how powerful this 'monster general' would be on the battlefield, so they broke away from the battle team and watched the battle in an orderly manner with Leon's command.

But a minute later, Livius and the folks collapsed at about the same time......

Because, just as Leon finished his 'arming' and came to Livius's side, Levius was about to talk, and Leon suddenly attacked him!

Neither Levius himself nor his subordinates expected Leon to raid at this time......

And with the lord's "move", Li Ang deliberately scattered the 'assistants' in the Livius lineup, and all raised their swords and slashed at the most comfortable Shadow Infantry soldiers beside him......

Half of Levius's hundred or so Shadowfoot soldiers were killed and wounded almost instantly.

The troops of White Deer Fort also rushed into the chaotic battlefield at this time.

And before the two thousand people could turn around and flee for their lives, they heard the voice of Li Ang shouting again.

"Stop! As I said, as long as you listen to me, no one will die...... But if anyone dares to run, I will kill them all, and you can't outrun the cavalry......"

The lord was still holding the leather rolled into a trumpet......

Only then did the people react, it turned out that this was the meaning of the shouting just now?

But now there are really few people who dare to run, this famous monster general is said to be the number one sword master in the mainland, 'you can kill whoever you want'......

No, isn't it easy for a big man like Livius to be tied up by him?

Levius was indeed a nimble man, quite adept at improvising - knowing that he was no match for Leon, he surrendered again as a prisoner, and basically did not resist.

And these two thousand people were also coerced by Li Ang to go to White Deer Fort.

Only Li Ang can control these people with a small number of people, and the prestige of the monster general is actually very useful.

Amy continued south with a force of 400 men to carry out her real mission.

Leon's plan did all succeed, and Amy made it to the Shieldwind Fortress without any effort, and it didn't take much effort to dunge the castle into flames.

In fact, Amy's mission is the most important thing - all for Amy to set the fire smoothly, and everyone else, including Leon, is just a part of the process.

In order to ensure success, the lord also asked Amy to bring enough men to avoid accidents.

However, due to the lord's acting skills and some coincidences, Livius did not leave any manpower in the Shieldwind Fortress at all, and Amy easily succeeded in the Shieldwind Fortress without encountering any decent obstacles.

There were less than thirty men in the Shieldwind Fortress, all of them servants of Livius.

The governor had not been in office for a long time, and he had no intention of living in this border fortress for long, so he did not bring anyone from his family.

When the minions saw Amy's troops approaching, they immediately raised white flags in the city and surrendered, and Amy didn't even have time to test her musket skills before the city gates were opened......

In fact, when Amy returned to the army, she also said that this mission was too simple, and she didn't have any chance to perform.

But in fact, if there is no opportunity to perform, it is the best situation!

Lord Lord's Lordship now felt as if many things would suddenly become easy as long as Amy was present......

The last time she went to the Bacchus Empire to help the people of Mettenheim solve the famine problem, Amy was like a goddess who blessed her, easily got corn and potatoes, and kidnapped an agricultural and water conservancy expert......

Think about Amy's musket technique again - the accuracy of muskets in these years really depends on character, the barrel is not rifled, the charge is not fixed, and the trajectory of spherical lead after ejecting the chamber sometimes flies into an S shape!

But Amy was stunned that she could hit accurately, and said that she relied on feeling......

If there is such a attribute as 'luck', Amy should be full value, right?

Another guy with a lot of luck is probably Fibius.

He stood at the front when he entered the White Hart Castle, facing countless missed arrows and crossbows, but miraculously he was not shot dead on the spot.

You must know that the more than 300 Shadow Infantry soldiers who followed him into the city have basically been wiped out in the White Deer Fort, and after a few rounds of arrow rain, less than a hundred people surrendered alive.

Of course, Febius was still badly wounded and pierced like a hedgehog, but he was lucky that none of the arrows hit him in the right place.

The 400 people outside the city originally planned to retreat and run away, but they were intercepted by Li Ang who coerced 2,000 people, and Sir Roland chased out with soldiers and horses in White Deer Fort behind him, and encountered attacks from both sides.

Coupled with the fact that the Owl Knights' scout ability was quite outstanding, these four hundred people could not escape, and they could not fight, and after losing more than a hundred people, Leon asked Livius to come forward and order them to surrender.

With Amy's return to the army, Fort White Deer will no longer have to face the threat of the Bacchus Empire for a long time.

The only problem was that there were not enough prisons - the original prison had been converted into a cellar for storing potatoes, and the more than 400 Shadowfoot prisoners were not well housed......

Fortunately, Li Ang's "prestige" was quite effective, the two thousand people were quite obedient, and the lord could even let them do some work, such as building a new temporary prison.

After cleaning up the battlefield, the lord returned several wounded Shadowfoot soldiers and asked them to return to the Bacchus Empire with a letter written by Livius to demand ransom.

This time, the ransom he demanded was higher......

The wholesale price is 150,000 dinars.

Who let so many captives this time, this is a seven-fold discount, which can be called a jump price.

Moreover, the payment is only valid within one month, and it will not wait for the expiration!

The retail price is 500 dinars for a Shadow Infantry soldier, more than 400 in total.

The price of the Fibius is five thousand dinars.

Levius...... I'm sorry, but the Doge will sell it last.

That is, until the others are redeemed, the Governor will have to stay in prison.

The lord has always been 'voluntary' in his business—so Governor Levius consciously wrote a letter to the Shadowfoot soldiers to bring back to his family to raise money......

As for the 2,000 people, after the lord knew that they were forcibly conscripted by Livius, he did not plan to release them for the time being, and he was going to try to see if he could influence them......

These people are all descendants of the Pander natives, who did not even have any land in the Bacchus Empire, and were all tenant farmers - Levius did not dare to forcibly expropriate the Bacchus.

The lord felt that as long as he gave these people a little land, maybe he would be able to rule another two thousand young people, and maybe let them bring their families with them......

So he asked Sir Roland to take the men to the Wheat Ring, and let him try to convince them to become his own.

The reason why Sir Roland came forward is mainly because the current image of the lord himself is at the level of 'demons and monsters' in the eyes of the people, and it is estimated that the affinity is not enough.

Besides, Li Ang actually thinks that this image is good, and it will probably be useful in the future, so he doesn't plan to change his character for the time being......

Emperor Marius probably didn't expect that after he exaggerated the lord into a demonic and terrible general, the people of the Bacchus Empire actually developed a strange sense of trust in Leon......

Since the monster of the Lion Kingdom is so powerful, no one is his opponent, and even the governor was easily captured by him, wouldn't it be safer to join his side?

Yes, the psychology of ordinary people is so simple......

After all, the big guys don't seem to live very well in the Bacchus Empire, and the governors and generals of the empire usually either catch strong men or collect taxes, and there is no good life all year round.

On the contrary, this so-called 'Ayrshire devil' was willing to let them farm, and also provided them with rations and seeds......

Coupled with the fact that Sir Roland and a group of old people led by Mai Xiang appeared, after learning that this terrible lord never harassed the commoners, many people were indeed a little tempted.

Within a few days, the lord had Roland erect two more statues of the goddess in the wheat collar - the statue of the goddess of justice was placed next to the goddess of order, and the goddess of harvest, Damia, was placed in a small clearing surrounded by wheat fields.

Each of these three goddesses represents several different good values created by human beings, and it is permissible for the people to become followers of any of these goddesses.

In fact, in Leon's opinion, the best way to keep his territory from being controlled by religion is to introduce a variety of gods—as long as the teachings are good and orderly.

When there is only a single god to worship in a place, it is bound to produce fanatics, such as the Knights of the Dawn. And there will inevitably be organizations that seek private interests in the name of religion.

Because this is a monopoly – but also a monopoly on worldviews and ideologies, which is even more terrible than monopolizing the market.

But in the case of multiple gods, even if there are religious organizations, there will be constant competition between the organizations, as long as it is made sure that no one can completely occupy the market - until the market is completely captured, everyone will only try to attract 'customers' with various benefits.

Of course, having said that, the lord's placement of the statues of the goddess of justice and the goddess of harvest is mainly due to the fact that there are already multiple beliefs in the territory.

The statue of Dalmia actually played a big role, and after the statue was completed, some of the people tried to go to Sir Roland - they were willing to stay here and farm, but they hoped that Sir Roland would agree to let the other part of the people who did not want to stay go back to Bacchus, so that their families could also move here.

Roland still didn't know what to do at the time - in his heart, of course he wanted to meet the demands of these people.

But he also knew that many Bacchus people would not come back if they returned, and these people were currently considered captives, and they had to listen to Leon's opinion......

But what Sir Roland didn't expect was that the lord actually agreed to this request, and also asked Roland to distribute some food to those who planned to go back as a coil.

In other words, those who are willing to go back to Bacchus can go back and bring a letter to the families of those who stayed in Mai Xiangling, so that their families can move here.

In order to maintain the persona, the lord also added a threat - you can go back if you want to, but if you are caught next time, you will have to kill them all......

As a result, under the prestige of the youkai general, only a third of those who finally decided to return to Bacchus.

More than 1,300 people remained in Mai Xiangling.

Nearly 700 men were released back to their hometowns, and they marched in groups without any danger, and soon passed again the camp that Livius had had had made them cut down wood.

But unbeknownst to the folks, they had just brushed shoulders with danger - not long after they had walked past the camp, a procession appeared in the nearby forest.

It was a group of Noldor elves.

"Your Highness Yin Silandil, why don't you let us attack? There are a lot of humans in the north who have entered the forest, and among them is that pesky Knights of the Ebony Gauntlet. And to the south, these people have set up a camp here, and it is clear that humanity is about to launch an all-out attack on us......"

A Noldor, dressed almost as much as Risardylan, spoke to another tall Noldor elf.

The tall Noldor looked extremely handsome—of course, every Noldor looked handsome, but this one looked more temperamental.

In other words, there is a kind of extravagance.

His whole body was dressed very gorgeously, his armor was covered with various mysterious runes, and a huge quadrangular sapphire was embedded in the center of his helmet eyebrows, which looked like a crown that could only be used by kings.

The gauntlets and boots were also silver runic equipment, and he wore a special scimitar at his waist, and a bow inlaid with gems on his back, which still shone faintly, like a living thing.

Standing beside him were several Noldor knights in silver-white equipment, who also looked extraordinary.

The plate armor on his body looked ancient and mysterious, and weapons such as shields, swords, and bows seemed to be better than Risadilan's—just by looking more lethal.

These are the Twilight Knights, the best of the Noldor nobles and the leader of the Noldor Elven forces.

A powerful knight like them will appear behind others as an entourage, so the leader is naturally the Great Lord of the Noldor Elves.

"Maybe humanity is really going on a big attack...... But those who have just passed look like just farmers, and we shouldn't attack a group of unarmed people, even if it's our enemy. ”

Lord Noldor, who was known as Yin Silandil, squinted his eyes slightly, and said a little indifferently, probably thinking about something.

"Your Highness, we should warn these humans who don't know whether they are alive or dead."

A Twilight Knight said.

"You can't warn humanity that you can't slaughter civilians...... Did Ardarian go to the North? ”

Yin Silandil shook his head and asked rhetorically.

"Lord Aldaryan said he was going to kill those stupid Ebony Gauntlets, and he organized a large army to wipe out the humans who had entered the forest from the north."

The Twilight Knight nodded.

"Now that he's gone, then we don't need much trouble, that Ebony Gauntlet Knights really deserve a lesson...... But I'd like to ask a human lord why the humans are suddenly attacking. ”

Yin Silandil doesn't seem to be as arrogant as the other Noldos, and is probably more affinity among the Noldos.

"Hmph...... What else can humans be for? They do everything for the sake of their own desires......"

One of the Noldor shook his head, looking disdainful.

"But this time it looks different, the humans have gathered an army of more than 3,000 people between White Hart Fort and Yongdun Fort...... They haven't done this in three hundred years, and there must be a reason for that, and I have to get to the point. If we can't coexist peacefully with human beings and continue to fight like this, we will eventually become weaker and weaker. We've lost too many people over the years......"

Yin Silandil sighed: "The number of human beings is in the tens of millions, but our people are less than ten thousand...... We can't afford to die. ”

All the Twilight Knights were silent.

After a long time, one of the Twilight Knights spoke, "Your Highness, do you remember the Risardiran who was banished by you?" ”
