604. Slave camps
In the early morning of the 10th, outside a courtyard near the city wall of White Tree City, a knight with a mediocre appearance opened the courtyard door and walked straight to the main building of the courtyard, where he skillfully found a secret door in the room and entered the cellar.
After a short underground passage, the space immediately became much larger, and a circular room with a diameter of 20 meters and a height of about 6 or 7 meters appeared in front of you. The dome of the room is less than the lighting magic pattern, the floor is covered with cork, and in the center of the room is a half-meter-high barbecue table, which is full of heated magic pattern boards, so that the whole basement does not feel damp and cold at all.
On the edge of the high platform, a tall knight was sitting on the ground, enjoying the heating on the roasting table, and when he saw the young man, he smiled and said, "Lehman, did the cow promise you?" ”
"Yes, father, she's already tempted," the young man nodded, "even if she doesn't come to White Tree City with her team, she won't run away easily." ”
"That's okay, thugs and slave camps, the White Tree family will decline if there is no one," the knight said with a smile, "We have exchanged all the slaves for cash, as long as there is a problem on the White Tree's side, we can directly buy their house, and in the future, our Iguana family will be the most powerful slave owner in the local area!" ”
"Father, if you want me to say, we should be more prepared, for example, in case that Imola doesn't dare to come, should we find a team and rush into the city for her?" The young man asked.
The old man nodded: "Hehe, this is natural, but this kind of thing, we can't do it ourselves, we have to find a family to move forward!" ”
While the Iguana family was discussing how to take advantage of the local situation, 100 auxiliaries, 20 knights, and more than 20 administrators arrived from Night Kirk City.
In addition to manpower, there are 20 large horse-drawn carriages and 20 oversized containers.
If it weren't for the royal capital's personal intervention, Whitetree City would even think that Rand was going to occupy this city that was not very good with the Maned Earl's family.
Pete Maned Wolf and Jim led the team out of the city gates, and the Knights of the White Tree who defended the city breathed a sigh of relief.
About 2 kilometers outside the city, Inuya finally opened the container and took out the 10 intermediate frost wolves and 10 junior wind wolves of the Frost Wolf Knights.
"Dogtooth, you're good enough! I actually came up with this solution! Pete watched the knights get into the wolf and complimented, "But you don't just send 20 knights, do you?" ”
"Of course not, there are about 30 knights, probably the day after tomorrow!" The knights mentioned by Inuya are the knights of the imperial capital and the knights of the galloping horse family, and the escort team is formed together.
"My men are only responsible for sending the slaves out of the Viscount of the White Tree, and then they have to go back, they are the real escorts," Inuya said with a smile, "and the Lord has already greeted all the nobles along the way, and they will arrange for the Demon Bearers to help escort them!" ”
Pete nodded, and walked southeast with the dogtooth and the others, and when they reached the edge of the forest, they could see a stockade about 1 kilometer in diameter next to a low slope by the river, with a flying dragon flag floating on the gate of the stockade, and there were already several people dressed as knights waiting for them at the door.
"This camp was handed over yesterday, and I couldn't drink it yesterday, so I asked Baron Dutov to come and receive it with 10 men first," Pete explained, pointing to the old man at the gate of the stockade, "That old man is Baron Dutov." ”
When Inuya met Dutov, the first thing that came to mind was the butler of the Maned Earl Count's house, with sharp eyes and a kind appearance, one hand lying across his stomach, as if holding a square scarf, and the other behind his back, as if he was going to conjure something at any moment.
"Knight, Knight Pete introduced you to me yesterday," Dutov greeted Dogtooth with a smile, as if he were just a butler of a noble family, but he was still a real fiefdom baron half a year ago, not much worse than his contemporaneous Huck Galloping Horse,
"The situation in the camp is more complicated than I imagined, and I'm afraid it will take three days to leave at the earliest."
"Oh?" Inuya frowned, not that he thought Dutov was a troublemaker, it was simply that the situation on the Iowa border was tense, and he didn't think that he could enjoy the blessings of the south for a long time.
However, when he really entered the stockade, he understood that the three days that Dutov said, even if Lanya and the cardinal all arrived, could not be advanced.
All the slaves in the stockade squatted quietly outside the tent, densely packed like rat people, and the faces of the slaves were very young, but in their emaciated faces, there was no hope, only fear, dazedness, and hunger.
"The ratio of men to women is about 100:80, and there are some older and very young ones in the tent, and the Wyvern family says that the people in the tent are given to us," Dutov explained, "and the housekeeper of the iguana family has already come, and his slaves arrive in the afternoon, as is the case here." ”
"In other words, we have more slaves to escort than 41,000 people?" The dog tooth asked, quite a little big.
"Provided they survive," Dutov said solemnly, "or rather, plenty of food." ”
……
In the evening, Enkris Gallop and Quemby Helen passed through the portal with nearly 30 knights and 300 auxiliaries, and headed southeast through the city gate.
The two of them represent two kinds of middle and low-level knights in the Rand territory, Enkris and the 13 knights with the surname Galloping Horse in the team, all members of the Galloping Horse family in the Dragon Kingdom, they have been recruited into the Night Qicheng City by Hack Galloping Horse in recent months, and the children have entered the Galloping Horse Academy to go to school, and they have eaten Warcraft meat in the Night Qicheng City for 2 months for nothing with the surname "Running Horse".
Quemby Helen is the cousin of Saffron Helen, and he has become a high-ranking knight by virtue of his family connection, but he has long been unable to use the ability of a high-ranking knight when he lingers in the place of sound, and he and the 15 low-level knights behind him are the knights of the imperial capital appointed by Lord Cromwell.
These two people's combat power is at the level of intermediate knights, and if they are trained properly, I am afraid they can still rank among the top ranks of the Galloping Knights.
However, the orcs are too far away for them, and they are not mentally prepared to go to the Iowa Pass to fight the orcs, so being able to get such an escort mission can be regarded as worthy of Rand's offerings.
"This group of demonless auxiliary troops, the march is quite neat!" Enkris Galloping Horse and Kumbey Helen had nothing to say, and in Enkrish's eyes, Kunbei was a nobleman in the imperial capital, so he spoke as politely as possible.
"Indeed, Count Lant is really well governed, Knight Enkris, in my opinion, Night Qi City will definitely be able to defeat the orcs and keep the entire Galloping Horse Plain!" Kunbei nodded, in his opinion, the knight in front of him was the Lante family, and he might be the Marquis Earl's in the future, and he must not be offended.
"What are the knights at the front talking about?" At the back of the line, a half-rabbit asked the half-deer man beside him.
"Who knows, I heard that this group of knights is not from the Knights of the Galloping Horse, but just a makeshift team."
Behind the knights, there are also 10 half-orc life priests, the leaders of these priests are the half-deer Banni and the half-rabbit Hodus of the former Imola tribe, after experiencing the guidance of the wolf priest of White Wolf City, the two life priests have successfully broken through the primary.
Such a team, which had just been put together, arrived at the gate of the slave camp, and as the gate opened, Dogtooth came to meet him with his wolf cavalry. Enkris Galloping Horse and Kumbe Helen gasped and said in unison, "So many mid-level demonic beasts? ”
