Viscount Cole's Castle.

Alchemist soldiers surrounded the place.

Jiang Yuan took out a delicate dagger the size of his palm from his black hunting suit, and stabbed it into the castle floor.

As the tip of the knife sank into the stone bricks, the complex and dense magic array on the knife body began to flow, covering the vicinity in an instant.

The silk bag on his waist was untied, Jiang Yuan poured out a third of the magic crystals inside, the energy was injected, the fluorescent magic power lit up, and the transfer magic array was activated.

While raiding the labyrinth, the exploration team found a stone block inscribed on the third layer to transfer the magic circle.

After research and refinement, the stone was crafted into two matrix daggers, one of which is currently inside the alchemy tower, and the other is naturally in the hands of the forger.

The activation of this magic array requires energy, which is about twenty standard-level magic crystals, worth the equivalent of 300 gold coins, only for one round trip, the time is half an hour, and there is no specific limit on the number of people who can pass through the space passage.

The alchemy soldiers carried the goods into the magic array in turn, and then appeared directly in the alchemy tower opposite.

The wealth of Cole City is shifting at a rapid pace.

"Let the Rose Knights return to Ancient Oak City with those captives, and this matter will be handed over by the Holy Armor." Jiang Yuan said to Sheng Ding.

"Understood."

Stin came outside and conveyed the master's command.

"The subordinates must report the prisoners and news to the Captain of the Holy Armor." Cullen replied respectfully.

He is the former captain of the Prince's Royal Highness, and currently serves as one of the two lieutenants of the Rose Knights, with his immediate superiority being the Viscount's Guardian Knight, Merrilyn.

Jiang Yuan walked into the space passage, through the blood medium, the Holy Armor already knew the situation here, this independent mission is the test of Kulun, which will directly affect whether he is worthy of fulfilling his promise to become a knight, most of the Rose Knights are alchemy soldiers, so there will be no out-of-control ending.

The short but somewhat familiar space transfer ended, Jiang Yuan returned to the alchemy tower of the ancient oak city, the gold and silver coins were poured into the black pool, blood flowed, and the golden-red liquid disappeared in a blink of an eye.

A total of 4,200 gold coins were consumed.

The first to emerge from the water curtain were two Alchemy Sword Masters.

Holy Self and Holy Geng, worth 800 gold coins.

This was followed by three thousand regular soldiers and two hundred middle-class regiments, worth two thousand gold coins.

Finally, there were five hundred regular soldiers and three hundred alchemical war horses, worth 1,400 gold coins.

With Shengji as the commander of the legion, he led 3,200 men to form the Fourth Field Legion to control the territory instead of the Second Legion.

And Sheng Geng will become the actual manager of the spy force, reducing the importance of Luo Lin, the former deputy chief of the guard.

As for the 500 soldiers and 300 horses, it is expected to fill the Scarlet Knights, equipped with the horses collected in the Battle of Cole and the harvest in the city to increase the scale of 1,000 knights.

The Alchemy Tower gradually cooled, and Jiang Yuan turned around and returned to Cole City.

Half an hour later, the transportation was over, the alchemy soldiers returned to the team, and the casualties of the saints had been counted, in yesterday's battle, the second legion killed more than a hundred people, and the loss rate was close to one percent, mainly when the enemy knights entered.

But it doesn't matter, judging by the results, it is undoubtedly a big profit.

After retrieving the dagger, Jiang Yuan spread out the map of the Norfos Plain, the paper map is very precious, the greater the accuracy, the more it is inherited by each family, and behind it represents a huge investment of manpower and material resources, as well as a long time to gather information.

"The whole army will rest for a day and continue to advance early tomorrow morning."

"Yes."

……

In the year 411 of the Ankylosaurus calendar, early spring is approaching.

Two famous marquises, Castello and Acewood, declare a continuation of the ancient tradition of dueling between nobles.

The vassals and in-laws of both sides led their troops to support and gathered towards the main city of the marquis, which was both an obligation and a feast.

This dispute originated from the wedding of the first prince Charier, and the Tippeon of the Castaro family killed the concubine of the Marquis of Eswood in public, and the conflict instantly rose to the point of irreconcilability.

Located in the south-central part of the Norfoss Plains, the Blood Lion City is a massive city that was originally built entirely after a fortress, with towering walls and a mottled surface that contains hundreds of years of history.

Outside the city, the troops of the nobles arrived in the pre-prepared military fortress, not far away is the endless cultivated farmland, the wealth of the Norvos Plain ranks second in the kingdom of Asra, second only to the direct royal domain, the annual grain produced by the two places allows the nobles of the royal capital to enjoy themselves every day without worrying about rebellion, and at the same time supports several royal blood knights of more than 10,000 people.

After the second legion of Tumiit was stationed, Jiang Yuan rode into the Blood Lion City with Shengding and a team of ten guards, he was still wearing a black hunting suit that was easy to move, but he was wearing a carved ring that matched the identity of the prince, which was engraved with the black hound coat of arms that had never appeared in this world, and in the royal capital noble lineage, the black hound had been identified as the family crest of Shaliye.

The officer in charge of leading the team to inspect at the gate was a middle-aged man, carrying a heavy sword, and his strength was at the level of a sword saint, given the objective reality that sword saints were scarce, the Castaro family obviously intended to show their strength.

"Release."

Before he arrived at the door, the middle-aged sword master waved his hand to the garrison and ordered, the pattern level of the noble ring is quite strict, and the arrogance will be rejected by the rules created by most people, although the previous prince is not loved in the Silver Palace, but he still maintains his dignity in the outside world, and the nobles who distinguish the ranks by blood can only follow the consequences of this system, whether they want to or not.

"I'm in trouble." Said the master of St. Tinde.

The middle-aged sword saint saluted, it is not surprising that the prince has this arrogance, he is the direct lord of the marquis's canonization, and he is also within the rules.

As the procession entered the Blood Lion City, the noise was like the sea, the war was imminent, the city was barely affected, the public carriage stations were congested as usual, the streets were full of people, the height of the buildings was generally more than three stories, the paving stretched in a straight line, the vegetables and fruits, cured meats, spices, utensils, and handicrafts were dazzling, and the shouts and exchanges were mixed together to form a wave of oppression on the eardrums, and there were countless adventurers dressed as guys, because of their presence, the patrolling garrison was also huge.

Jiang Yuan looked sideways at the side of the road, Tipeon raised his arm and waved, he decisively abandoned the female adventurer who had just agreed to the invitation to the meal, and rushed towards this side with Hu.

"Long time no see, Your Highness."

"How many people do you have?"

Tipeon touched his head, "Thirty thousand troops." ”

Jiang Yuan bowed, "I also brought 30,000 people." ”

Normally speaking, as a feudal monarch, the marquis is obliged to provide food, grass, ordnance and corresponding remuneration to the supporters, and the specific level is given according to the degree of contribution, 30,000 and 5,000 people are obviously not in the same grade, so the actual number needs to be examined by a special person, and it is certain to be debunked, but how much you fool the past, how much you can get in return.
