"Baron of the Wind? Hey, I've never heard of it, this is a little nobleman who came out of the mud in the countryside. ”

Under the banner depicting the coat of arms on a blue background and the coat of arms of the white bear, at the center of the convoy, Viscount Claude, who was in a bad mood, seemed to have found a person to vent to, with a contemptuous expression.

Beside him, there stood an old man with white hair, who shook his head and said to him:

"The messenger sent by the other party was a well-equipped cavalryman dressed in chain mail, judging from the movements of his horseback, he had been professionally trained, and he was not a temporarily armed peasant soldier."

"Oh?" Viscount Claude's expression became a little serious, rubbing the stubble on his chin that was a little messy due to lack of trimming, "That's probably the only soldier in the other party's hand, is there a reason for that?" ”

"This Baron of the Cold Wind wants to exchange some supplies with us."

"Exchange supplies?" He mused, "How much valuable cargo do we have in our hands at the moment?" ”

"In order to get out of danger, we abandoned the carriage full of jewels and paintings to attract attention, and another carriage loaded with wine was damaged, and the oak barrel inside was leaked, and when we found it difficult to salvage, we only saved the carriage loaded with grain and a small amount of gold."

Listening to the old man's report and recalling the panic when he encountered the "lions", Viscount Claude gritted his teeth.

He said angrily: "How many soldiers have gathered who have been scattered and fled? ”

"So far, only 34 militiamen and 42 peasants have been recovered."

"Enough, let the baron's man go back and tell the other party that I agree to the deal and let him bring someone over!"

There were no more rich villages on the road to Triumph City from here for his wealth.

The fortress camp of the great nobles is even more unprovoked, and he needs to gather as much wealth as he can in order to take root and survive when he arrives in Triumph City.

......

On the other side, Ronan listened to the report of his subordinates, and recalled the information of the nobles of the kingdom in his head.

"White bear with his head up? The Claude family, who occupied the eastern banks of the Insel River. ”

This is the sworn guardian of the Great Western Plains, one of the two pillars of the kingdom, and a vassal viscount of the Kobo family.

In contrast to the backwooded border barons of Baron Exeter, the Claude family is close to the border between the kingdom and the Duchy of the Northern Lion, despite their fiefdoms.

But whether it is the tax revenue from the trade of the Insel River waterway, or the considerable tax on the farmland in the territory, the degree of affluence is far from being comparable to the former.

It's just that judging from the Sentinel's report, the current situation of the Claude family does not seem to be good.

In addition to the cavalry sent to communicate on the surface, Ronan also had two other knight attendants reconnoiter the situation from the flanks.

The convoy must have been attacked in some way, with broken gaps and blood stains on the wagons, and most of the soldiers gathered together had panicked faces, many of them with wounds bandaged.

As for letting him trade for the other party's camp position, Ronan's expression was funny.

Since he had already left Triumph City, he could not borrow the power of his family in the name of the outside world, so he became the little-known Baron of the Cold Wind.

It seems that people don't take him seriously at all.

Ronan asked his cavalry to test again, this time without approaching, just shouting loudly in the distance, and letting the other party come to the open space between the two sides to trade.

There are no trees around there, so everything is clear at a glance.

Straddling his horse, Ronan looked at the soldiers who were surrounding him, and it was not surprising.

Although the Claude family is in a bad state, they still have a good armed force on hand, and the other party is obviously willing to be more direct than to trade with a remote baron who has no name.

In that case, let's touch it!

Ronan waved his hand, and the troops hidden in the woods behind him launched their own attack, and ten knightly squires drew their bows and fired a volley in response to the enemy soldiers who came into range.

Well, it's just that the hit rate is really touching.

At a distance of 100 meters, a group of people on the other side gathered together, and only one of the ten arrows was hit, and the position of the shot was still not fatal.

However, the deterrent effect is really good.

You must know that archers are a high-level class on the battlefield, and these peasant militiamen, who have never fought a few serious battles, were startled by the arrows they fired, and directly stopped their sprints, cowering and not daring to step forward.

And when Ronan's trained foot soldiers rushed towards them with neat steps, a murderous aura rushed towards them.

The fear that had accumulated before exploded in their hearts in an instant, and they were already crushed before the official battle.

Behind the scattered militia, Viscount Claude knew what was going on when he saw the other man shoot his bow and arrow.

I panicked when I saw the ten heavily armed cavalrymen, and when Ronan's fifty infantry appeared, their heads turned black and they almost fainted.

Damn, this kind of elite momentum, did you recruit the forbidden army of Triumph City!

"Calm down, sir!" The white-haired old man beside him immediately pulled him back to reality, "It's not yet an unsolvable situation, please let the knight who protects you charge immediately, as long as you can catch the other party's lord, the matter can be reversed." ”

"That's right! I still have knights! ”

Viscount Claude became excited, and hurriedly waved his hand to let the three people guarding him dispatch, aiming directly at Ronan.

As rulers of the Rhine Lords east of the Insel, the Claude family certainly had their own knights.

It is a white bear rider, and after breaking through, it can greatly improve the body's ability to resist cold.

Due to the fact that the north of Insel River is adjacent to the tundra plateau of the Northern Lion Principality, the White Bear Knights are better able to adapt to the environment and help the kingdom keep an eye on the movements of the lions.

Thinking of the White Bear Knight under his command, Viscount Claude couldn't help but feel heartache again.

Originally, he had five knights under his command, but not long ago, two of them were bitten to death by the lions!

Fortunately, the remaining three people preserved their combat strength and were not seriously injured, and Viscount Claude could only comfort himself in his heart.

Just avoid the front of the opposing foot soldiers, and the three White Bear Knights will be able to take down the eccentric baron from the flanks!

Before he could relax, a huge plate knight struck out from the opposing camp, wielding a broadsword that directly slapped one of his knights off the horse!

Fortunately, the quality of the armor on his body was acceptable, and his life was saved, but the other two knights had to stop and go to support their teammates.

The three knights of the sword pharaoh were pressed and beaten by the other party.

The war horse had already been cut into two ends, and the three of them flexibly walked beside Ed, striking each other, and the situation was stalemate for a while.

Ronan could see clearly from a distance that Ed did have the upper hand by surprise at first.

But the other knight is obviously an experienced veteran, who has adapted to Ed's attack, and begins to counteract by cooperating.

If it weren't for the thick plate armor that blocked Ed's vital point, allowing him to ignore most of the enemy's attacks, he would have been defeated.

Ronan took the longbow from the knight's squire who was guarding him, drew the bow and released the arrow.

The arrow pierced the knight's eye and through his head with a burst of air-shattering sounds, piercing the knight's eyes and piercing his head.

The old trick is repeated, and it is two arrows again.

On the originally fierce battlefield, only Ed, who was stunned in place for a while, scratched his head for some reason.

In addition to this, there is also the sluggish squire beside Ronan.

At first, the bow and arrow were taken away by his lord, and he was still a little unhappy, thinking that you can just watch from the sidelines, and don't snatch my weapon.

But now, after witnessing the miraculous archery skills, he realized.

It turns out that I'm just a rack with a bow.
