3. My lord, the barbarians are coming, let's get out of the way

"Rand, you need to decide as soon as possible whether or not we leave the territory." Rohr said as he looked at Rand and waited for Rand's decision.

Rand is in a blind circle at the moment: "Where are we going?" ”

"To Maned Wolf City, or to the forest to the west, of course," Rohr said, "you need to make a decision before dawn!" ”

"Ah, what's going on?" Rand really don't know why.

"Rhore, Rand has just woken up and listened to so much knowledge, you need to make it clear to him before you let him make a decision" Albert said with some blame,

"Rand is like this, as I just said, as a lord, you need to defend the land and protect the people, and now the barbarians have reached the Koriko Pass, which is a day's journey from us.

Although I don't know when they will come, but they will definitely not only come to rob, once they come, even our baronial castle, they will not be able to resist the attack of the barbarians, if we do not settle the people at that time, resulting in a large number of people being looted, the barony of the galloping horse will really be over, and the barony title of the entire galloping horse family will be withdrawn. ”

Albert glanced at Rohr, "I have thought of two routes with Rohr, and it is up to you to decide, the first is to the east, the Barony of the Blue Magpie to the east of Rohr's territory is the direct territory of the Maned Wolf Earl family, and it is only 1 or 2 days away from Maned Wolf City, as long as we get to the Blue Magpie Territory, we will have the protection of the Earl's Maned Wolf Knights."

The second is the traditional route of the Galloping Horse Family, fleeing west into the Great Forest, you don't have to worry, whether it is the Galloping Horse Leader or the Roth Collar in the past ten years, there are several camps in the deep forest for a long time.

The vanguard of the barbarians is dominated by barbarian cavalry, with tall men and large horses, and it is difficult to move in the forest, if their army dares to enter the forest territory to search, the complex terrain is not conducive to their large number of pack beasts to transport supplies. Therefore, the barbarians never ask for their own hardships and enter the forest. ”

Well, okay. It's really hard to choose to be a wild man under the fence. "I'd like to hear your advice"

"I suggest going to the Rotter's territory first, and then going to the Blue Magpie Territory," Rohr said, "This year's barbarian strength is obviously higher than in previous years, and in the end, it is likely that the Earl will personally expel these barbarians, if we go to the Earl's territory, we can know the situation in the territory more quickly, and we can also let the Earl know earlier that even if Baron Huck leaves temporarily, there will be someone leading the Galloping Horse Territory even if the Baron is gone."

We'll be in Earl's Maned Wolf City in 4 or 5 days, and there will be nothing wrong with it. ”

"I think it's better to go into the forest. This forest is full of magic and abundant products, and the family has taken refuge in the forest many times in the history of the family, and has successfully avoided the invasion of barbarians. Albert emphasized.

"How many times?" Rand said a word

"Yes, the most recent one was 8 years ago, when the barbarians also had a large-scale invasion, when Lord Bob Roth, the lord of Roth, asked Huck to take care of the people on his behalf, and Huck took all the people of the two realms to take refuge in the Great Forest.

At that time, you were young and had just shown a little potential to possess demons, so Huck sent you to Mane Wolf City and told you to follow your third brother to the temple over there to take refuge. ”

Rand recalled that eight years ago, when he was just 8 or 9 years old, he did go on a long trip with his third brother, but he didn't remember that he had actually entered the city, and he only felt that he had arrived in a monastery sometime. After listening to the reasons of the two important ministers, Lante asked casually, "Luoer, Viscount Roth is only 1 day away from us, and Mane Wolf City is only 3 days away?" ”

"Of course!" Rohr is very sure

"How did you get there?"

"Horseback riding! Any questions? ”

At this time, Albert also came back to his senses, "You are the most powerful middle-level knight in the territory, you rode the best horse on the galloping horse plain, and it took you 4 days to get to Earl City, but we moved the people, they are all pack beasts and carriages, it is good to walk 2 or 30 miles a day, how can it take only 3 days to arrive"

"But that's just an extra day or two."

"No, you are riding a horse, unless someone is waiting for you, few people will notice you, we have hundreds of people in our territory, and there are only a dozen or so demon supporters in a huge team, who will the barbarians rob if they see you?" Rand added, "But more importantly, both of you are witnesses of these two days, don't you think it's too coincidental for us to meet in these two days?" ”

"What?" Neither Rohr nor Albert thought about it at this level.

"If you think about it, both my father and Viscount Roth have been in and out of the Colnico Pass a lot, including the two of you who also have experience in entering the pass for business, which is more than 20 kilometers long, and there are rolling hills and water networks in the north of the pass.

Whether it is us or the Roth territory, only 10 men have been dispatched, and the cavalry of a barbarian tribe is often no more than 8 or 9, and there are no more than 20, and the ambush we encountered is equivalent to a medium-sized tribe moving out its entire men and horses to concentrate on us.

I would like to ask, if you two are lords or tribal leaders, under what circumstances are you willing to put all the combat power in your territory at risk? ”

"Of course when the intelligence is very certain," Albert understood what Rand meant, "you mean that we were betrayed by Viscount Roth?" ”

"No, if the Earl knows about it, Viscount Roth will be finished," said Rohr.

Although it is not uncommon for nobles to deceive each other, internal and external are two concepts, especially the dragon kingdom that takes the barbarians on the galloping horse plain as its main opponent, and cooperating with the barbarians to attack other nobles is treason, once it is discovered, the title is abolished, and the territory is abolished or returned to the feudal king.

Therefore, in the past, no nobles would use barbarians against other nobles, and they thought that Raul and Albert did not think about it here.

But Rand doesn't think so, after all, he just came here today, and he has no concept of kingdom traditions, but he has watched many TV series and played many games before, and this simple judgment is still easy to find a basis.

The simplest point is that when Viscount Lot was separated from Huck and the others, Huck went to the nearby hillside to reconnoitre, and there was no barbarian camp within dozens of miles. Therefore, they were not so much ambushed by the barbarians as they were found by a large group of barbarians.

If Viscount Roth didn't betray them, how could the barbarians find them from dozens of kilometers away?

"Nothing is impossible, and now I have good reason not to trust Viscount Roth. I will not pin my hopes for the preservation of the people on him. Two, I have decided that all the people of the entire territory will move west to the forest tomorrow to take refuge. An hour after Rand officially became a baron (acting), he made a decision to follow his ancestors and slip away.

"Yes," Rohr and Albert leaned over to order.

"Uncle Albert, please organize all the direct territories in the barony's domain to prepare for the migration, Knight Roll, I want you to send the power of the territory to notify the two surrounding knight lords to relocate, so that they can go directly into the forest and not use it to meet in the baron's castle.

In addition, some reconnaissance forces need to be dispatched, and the small hill 10 kilometers away to the north can overlook the Kolniko Pass, send people there to keep an eye on it! ”

"Yes," the two of them commanded again

Albert, who was deep in his depth, looked at the few orders made by Rand and felt that Rand was growing quickly, so he said, "Rand, don't worry too much, for the barbarians, entering the south of the mountain pass is also a big move, and we need to wade through several tributaries of the Galloping Horse River, we still have time."

In addition, there are no valuables in the territory castle, and all valuable potions, magic plants, books, weapons, and gold coins are packed and ready to go.

The main thing that the people have to bring with them is food, but we have added a lot of pack beasts and a lot of wagons in the past few years, and the real preparations will be very fast. "The pack beast that Albert refers to is a half-oxen, half-horse, docile beast with a wide back, and easy to breed.

Whether it is a barbarian, orc or human race, they like to use this pack beast during long crawls.

"Well, that's great," Rand smiled, our hometown is really conscious, and we are ready to run away every day.

But when he thought of this, Rand suddenly realized, why am I lying in front of the campfire in the wilderness?

Shouldn't I be in my Baron's Castle? So he glanced at Albert, "Uncle Albert, it's so late, why don't we go back to the castle?" ”

“。。。” Everyone was silent again, until Albert laughed dryly, "Lante, you forgot, before we set off, your father was afraid that the territory would be harassed by a small group of barbarians, so he put all the grain in the warehouse and the goods after the last trade on the first floor of the castle, and now the first floor of the castle is full, and we have no place to raise our feet when we go back." ”

"Rand, have you forgotten that it was a few of us who moved a few tons of grain in," Rohr added

“。。。 Oh oh yes, I remembered, let's just right, tomorrow we can load all the food in the car and go" Rand smiled, but said in his heart, am I really a nobleman? The family is a warehouse, an extraordinary porter, and the barbarians come and rush by themselves.

What kind of place is this, what a bad thing this is, or try again tonight, will I close my eyes and kick my legs, and I will go back.

。。。。。。。

Rand, who lay down and closed his eyes, did not fall asleep immediately, and naturally could not return to the place where the dream began. Because he found that he could feel a large number of light points around him moving irregularly, these light points did not affect Rand's rest, or that kind of light points were just some kind of signal or some kind of energy, Rand tried to make these light points produce some kind of regularity, but unfortunately, after a long time of various attempts, all failed.

In the end, Rand tried to take a breath in his dantian, concentrated all the energy that could listen to him, and tried for another 10 minutes, about condensed an energy the size of a steel hammer, and dispersed after condensing in less than 20 seconds, and after dispersing, Rand's stomach directly made a protest sound. The demon bearer's body is big, and his voice is loud when he is hungry, which makes Rand embarrassed for a while, and he is embarrassed to open his eyes.

"Rand? Rand? A familiar voice rang in my ears, Nila, Rand's sister. Rand's biological mother left early, and Nila was taking care of her until she was 14 years old, and even if the blood of the demon bearer was stimulated later, Nila was also taking care of the main daily life.

Rand opened his eyes embarrassed to see that Nila had brought a lot of food, including jerky, scones, and hot soup. "How can you sleep hungry, you are now a junior knight, your appetite is greater, eat more to replenish your body."

"Nila, wait a minute," then Rohr came over with a bunch of jerky, "You can take care of these foods, but they can't help Rand grow his body," said Rohr, handing the jerky in his hand to Rand

"This is the jerky of the low-level Warcraft Wind Wolf, which I exchanged with the barbarians the last time I was in business, you eat this.

Knights can only really grow their bodies by eating more Warcraft meat. ”

To be precise, whether it is a knight, a mage or a clergyman, promotion and breakthrough are a short-term qualitative change, but also a long-term quantitative change accumulation, the total amount of magic and fighting energy in the body is proportional to the quality and volume of the body, if you want to grow the body, you have to eat, and there are essential differences between things.

Ordinary grains and meat, of course, carry nutrients and therefore replenish the body's consumption. However, Warcraft meat and even potions can provide magic power more efficiently, allowing demon supporters to accumulate and grow more quickly.

Rand looked at the jerky in Rohr's hand, and remembered that this was half a year ago, after Huck and Rohr went out hunting, Huck gave Rohr a part of the harvested monster meat.

Unexpectedly, Luo Er was reluctant to eat it, and made bacon. Although I don't know how much magic can be stored in this marinated meat, I can't move my eyes when I see this monster meat, and the words "I'm hungry" and "I want to eat" are in my eyes. Rand was a little embarrassed, after all, he was now a lord, and even if he was an agent, he shouldn't grab food from his subordinates.

。。。。。。。。。。。。

After a supper on Warcraft meat, Rand continued to sleep, dreamless all night.

At dawn, Rand woke up with some regret that he couldn't go back, and soon he knew that he had indeed traveled to a completely different planet, because two suns, one large and one small, had risen one after another.

The huge Sun is Raya, a pale blue star that takes up most of the sky like a pale blue fireball. When the star lifted off, Rand felt that the temperature and brightness around him had not increased more, but that some invisible energy had become more agitated.

"That's the magic element," Albert said, "Most of the magic elements come from Raya's gifts, and when Raya rises, the magic elements on the ground will be more abundant, but we are close to the Prancing Horse Plains, and the magic elements here will be more chaotic."

Soon another sun also rose into the sky, and this star was the Emperor Yang Star, which is said to have its name derived from a very ancient civilization, and now all races have the same name for the main star in the starry sky at every moment.

The star is smaller than the Sun seen from Earth, but it is very bright, and the rise of the star rapidly raises the temperature of the ground.

As a new day begins, the relocation of the people gradually begins. There are not many demon supporters in the territory now, including the rand, and Rohr sent a demon supporter to send a message to the two knights' territories, and sent another person to the hillside 10 kilometers away to keep an eye on it.

Rand, Rohr, and Albert took the other demon bearers to work as libarians to carry food inside the castle.

As a power-based talent, the demon bearer is really good at being a porter, and with more than 100 kilograms of grain, Rand is extremely easy to hold. Rand also tried the Qi Luck Dantian during the transportation process, trying to let the Dou Qi circulate in the body.

Luo Er saw Rand and said, Dou Qi is not trained like this, the total amount of Dou Qi in Rand is too small now, if he often concentrates his Dou Qi and cannot replenish the Demon Beast meat in time, he will only let himself be in a state of Qi loss for a long time, which is not conducive to growth.

After all, Rohr is a mid-level knight, and the words he said are very instructive. Rand gave up the fighting spirit of running while carrying and concentrated on hard work. Just when everyone was halfway busy, someone suddenly came to report that someone had returned from the Galloping Plain, it was the junior knight Walker who had set off with Huck and them.
