Chapter 43: Letter from the Duke
The knights of the Iron Mountain Collar who surrendered unloaded their weapons and armor one after another, and returned to the Blackstone Collar under the escort of the people of the Blackstone Collar.
They will be temporarily held in Blackstone Prison pending further processing.
Roy wasn't worried about the riots of these Iron Mountain Lords' official knights.
The official knights are different from the bronze knights, they have no fighting spirit, they lose their armor and weapons, which is equivalent to pulling out the claws and fangs, and the tiger is seriously ill, the threat is greatly weakened, and it is impossible to be an opponent in the face of the official knights with complete equipment at the same level.
Formal knights, with or without equipment, exert a world of difference in combat effectiveness.
When Roy and the others escorted the surrendered knights of the Iron Mountain Territory back to the Blackstone Domain, they were greeted by the celebrity's earth-shattering cheers.
The victory of the Blackstone Lord, coupled with the return of Roy, the son of the lord, is a double joy, how can they not be happy?
While it's unclear why Roy wasn't imprisoned by the temple as rumored, it doesn't matter to the people of Blackstone Realm.
The important thing is that Roy is back safely.
In this era, it is a very important thing whether a territory has a lord or not.
By the time the enthusiasm of the people had been dealt with and the knights of the Iron Mountain had been imprisoned, it had been more than an hour.
In front of the Mansion of the Black Rock Lord.
The twenty official knights were ready to go, and Red rode a tall war horse in front of the knights, and there was a hint of excitement in his eyes.
Normally, the size of a province is tied to a title, and it is very rare for a province to merge into battles.
The combined area of the Black Stone Collar and the Iron Mountain Collar is about the same size as the Barony's Domain.
To some extent, the Tulumbel family can be regarded as completing the first expansion of the family territory.
And he, Red, as the assistant to Young Master Roy, no, will be honored as "Lord Roy" in the future, and as a hero who assists Lord Roy in completing such great achievements as family expansion, he will also leave a strong mark! When Lord Roy is promoted to a great nobleman in the future, he will not have the opportunity to become a real nobleman!
Beside Red, half a body ahead of him, Roy took off his helmet and armor and wore only light clothing.
The battle for the merger of realms is over, and there is no need for him to hide himself.
Leaving ten official knights and Sanica, the Healing Witch, to guard the Blackstone Territory, he is going to officially take over the Iron Mountain Territory.
Looking back at the knights behind him, Roy's right hand with a knife waved forward vigorously: "Let's go!" ”
"Yes!"
The knights shouted in unison, and then, under Roy's leadership, everyone headed towards the Iron Mountain Leader like a black torrent.
……
After entering the ironstone collar, the plants and trees in the surrounding environment gradually decreased, and in the end, only gravel was left on the ground.
When Roy and the others arrived at the gate of the Iron Mountain Fortress, it was already two hours later.
Looking at the closed door in front of him, Roy glanced at Red, who understood, and immediately stepped forward and shouted:
"In the battle of the merger of the realms, the Tulumbel family won a great victory, and Lord Denham and his attendant knight Jax, along with forty official knights, have all been taken."
"From now on, the Denham family ceases to exist!"
"Open the door now!"
"Welcome your new lord, Lord Roy Tulumbel!"
The bronze three-star knight's loud voice shook the gravel on the ground slightly.
Ten seconds later, the closed gate of the fortress slowly opened.
But to Roy's surprise, it was not the remaining knights of the Iron Mountain Leader who he expected to walk out of the fortress gate, but five tall knights who were heavily armed and had the Bauhinia Sword insignia emblem on their chests and red cloaks behind them.
His gaze fell on the knight who was the leader of the five knights, and from this man, he felt a sense of oppression that far exceeded that of Lord Denham.
Silver Knight!
The epithet that came to Roy's mind made Roy's heart flutter, and then, his gaze swept over the "Bauhinia Sword" insignia on the chests of the five knights.
He is no stranger to the "Bauhinia Sword" emblem, and he can even be said to be familiar with it.
But no one in the province of Rafasia would be unfamiliar with this emblem.
Because this emblem represents the Soros family of the uncrowned king of Rafah Province - the Duke of the Border!
"Lord Roy, they are members of the Red Knights, the most elite knights under the command of Lord Soros."
Red took a few steps back and came to Roy's side, whispering in his ear.
Hearing this, Roy nodded knowingly, he rode forward, and said loudly:
"It turns out that the knights of the Red Knights, hello, I am the eldest son of the Blackstone Leader Tulumbel family, Roy Turumbel."
"Hello, Mr. Roy." The knight at the head said in a deep voice, "I'm Ayman Green, the leader of the sixth squad of the Red Knights. ”
"We are here on the orders of the Duke as witnesses to the results of the battle between the Iron Mountain Domain and the Black Stone Domain."
"You're here, and the results must have come out."
Speaking of this, Knight Aiman gave Roy a deep look: "The victory of the Black Stone Collar is unexpected. ”
"Now that the results are in, it's time for us to leave, this is a letter from the Duke to the winner, please take it from Mr. Roy."
An ironed envelope with the "Sword of Bauhinia" emblem was thrown by the Ayman Knight and landed precisely on the head of Roy's seated warhorse, showing the Silver Knight's masterful control over the power.
After handing out the envelope, Knight Ayman nodded at Roy, and then led the four red knights into the distance without looking back.
After watching the figures of the red knights disappear completely, Roy withdrew his gaze and cast his gaze on the envelope in his hand.
"A letter from the Duke to the winner......" Roy frowned, and after a few moments, he put the envelope away and ordered Red and the knights to enter the Iron Mountain Fortress.
……
The reception process of the Iron Mountain Territory was very smooth, and there was not a single rebel.
In fact, for the lords, as long as they can be fed and clothed, they don't care who the lord is, in their eyes, the noble lord is a virtue.
As for the official and probationary knights who stayed in the Iron Mountain Fortress, in the face of the bronze three-star Red and the entire twenty official knights, they knew that the lord was defeated and captured, and they couldn't raise the slightest battle spirit at all, so they took the initiative to surrender.
After handing over some of the trivial matters of receiving to Red, Roy walked up the stairs to the top of the fortress alone.
This was the former private study of Lord Denham as a lord, and it was also the place where he conducted his official business.
On the walls, there are fixed lamps, and kerosene lamps burn on them, bringing light to the dimly lit room.
The shadow beneath Roy's feet began to distort, and then a figure in a tight black suit that outlined Miaoman's figure condensed from it.
It was Lilia, the Witch of Shadows.
Her dark eyes stared at Roy, and her voice was pleading, "Lord Roy, can you please go see Vivien first?" ”
"The last time I saw her, she was in ...... state Not so good. ”
Roy, who was originally going to read the contents of the duke's letter, nodded when he heard this: "Yes, you can lead the way." ”
This was the "deal" he had made with Lilia, the Witch of Shadows, who helped him deal with Lord Denham and who helped Vivien alleviate the contamination problem.
Hearing Roy's words, the shadow witch Lilia's eyes flashed with joy, and she hurriedly led the way.
Descending another staircase, Roy and Lilia, the Shadow Witch, eventually reached the entrance to a basement.
