Chapter XXVII, Before the Thunderstorm

As one of the two major grain producing areas of the Wizarding Society, Sagacony has built a complete basic road, not only the auxiliary roads are longitudinal and horizontal, but the main road is also very wide, which can accommodate four horses in parallel and will not be crowded. These roads are maintained by conscripts all year round, and there will be no delay in transporting supplies or marching troops.

Herman didn't think much of it when he set out from the base camp of Roy, but when he made his way to Deciduous Castle, he was surprised that the roads in this area were so well built. With the strength of your horses, the Knights could march across the entire Sagacony region in about five days, which is a great speed.

After the supply team brought the order from the base camp, Herman sent messengers to the four remaining castles around him, ordering the garrison knights to merge with the Deciduous Castle with men and supplies.

The days that followed were eerily peaceful, and the Vault Dweller had disappeared as if they had never been there.

Herman is not worried, in addition to riding a moss lizard out for a gallop every day, he is nesting in the back mountain to practice boxing, which is very calm.

When the others saw him like this, they only felt that the captain was so excited because of the blow of the last incident, and they didn't know how to persuade him, so they had to practice silently. But invisibly, they have more identification with Herman. It is definitely a great thing to have such a compassionate and powerful commander.

From the Deciduous Fort used to be the Red Castle, to the east of the Red Castle was the Round Castle, and to the west was the Lonely Hill Fort. Gushan Fort is one hundred and thirty miles away from Fallen Leaf Fort, and there are only two garrison knights and twenty armored warriors here, with a little more grain, a full three tons of wheat grains that have not yet been shelled, and about twenty households of growers, all of whom are old people who do not want to leave their hometowns.

Of these three forts, Fort Hongen and Fort Round fell one after another, but Fort Gushan, which was closest to the front line, is still unharmed. But on the day the supply team left Deciduous Castle, a young and beautiful woman appeared under the gate of Gushan Fort halfway up the mountainside.

She wore a green palace dress, dressed gorgeously, and her hair was in a high bun, noble like a traveling princess of the kingdom.

Seeing this, the garrison knight immediately sent someone to inquire, but he didn't expect that the samurai would bring people directly into the castle.

"Bastard thing, are you enchanted by a woman?" The knight scolded.

If he hadn't been summoned to Deciduous Castle by now, the knights wouldn't have let the woman in.

When the samurai brought the woman to the two of them, they saw a smile on the corner of each other's mouth, which made people can't help but get close to each other, and they suddenly forgot their original intentions, and only that beautiful face was left in their eyes.

I saw that the woman's body exuded a wave of spiritual power like that of a wizard, and her emerald eyes glowed with a soft pink light at the same time, and the two knights didn't know what was wrong, but they looked solemn, and respectfully knelt down in front of the woman and kissed her toes.

Seeing this, the surrounding samurai immediately shouted loudly, but before they could make any other moves, the woman's pink eyes looked over, and in a short time they all lay respectfully on the ground.

The woman's voice was like the crisp sound of striking jade, and she was heard to say: "You remember, from now on, I, Basa Stastian Toris, will be your master, and you must obey my orders absolutely and unconditionally, and love me more than your life, and never leave me within fifty meters, you know?" ”

Everyone on the ground said in unison, "Got it, master." ”

"Good." She asked, "Are there any other knights in the castle?" ”

The knight, kneeling on the ground, replied, "No, master. ”

Basa Stien Toris said, "Very well, take me to your grain storage cellar, and by the way, give me all the power stones and money you have." ”

The two knights took out the money and took her to the cellar, where they saw a pile of wheat.

Basa Thien Toris opened the bag and found that it was full of unhulled grains, and she couldn't help frowning. Even if the knight's stomach could digest all the wheat husks, she was not one of those savages. Without looking up, he asked, "How much wheat flour and bread have been milled, and what are the vegetables and meat?" ”

As if enslaved, the knights replied honestly: "There are four sacks of wheat flour, seven strips of white bread left, only potatoes, onions, and carrots, and a small half of the cellar, and only a thousand pounds of pork, five hundred pounds of bison, and seven hundred pounds of wild boar." ”

The knight's cultivation of Dou Qi required an extremely huge amount of energy, and these foods were only enough for them to eat for a month at most. The Order's supplies were only basic to what they needed, and if they wanted to make progress, they had to do it themselves. Those wild boar and beef were the bison and wild boar that the two knights hunted in the mountains.

These foods are as important to Bashastian as the Power Stones and Philosopher's Stones to go behind enemy lines, but how do you transport so much food and where do you hide it? At this moment, Bashastian raised his left hand and showed a ring inlaid with precious stones, the gem was pure and translucent, the color was as deep as the ocean, but in the center, there was a strange vertical pupil, which was like a living thing quietly watching everything in front of him.

I saw that her spiritual power moved, and more than two hundred bags of wheat disappeared in an instant. Seeing this, the knight exclaimed: "The master has a magic ring, which is a high-level enchanted item that only a great wizard like the wizard will have. ”

"You're amazing."

"Praise you, master."

Bashastian didn't feel a hint of pride when she heard this, because the ring didn't belong to her.

This is the item of the Witch Hermitage Mentor of Night City, and the reason why she can wear it temporarily is only to collect food and complete the mission. Once back on the front lines, the ring will be returned to its rightful owner. And in order to prevent her from escaping with the treasure, there is also an evil eye set up by the hermit tutor on it, which monitors her movements at all times, and the spiritual power contained on it is enough to kill her ten times.

Unlike those fools in Castlevania and Mountain Flame City who only know how to burn, kill and loot, the people of Night City are much smarter, sending people to sneak into the rear with magic rings, and after attacking the castle, they directly use magic rings to take away food, which not only hits the enemy, but also strengthens themselves. And the people sent by Night City are also very small, only three. But these three are all the strongest of the strong, they are all the most outstanding young members of the Witch Hermit Order in the past ten years, and each of them has a great wizard or a great knight who takes a fancy to them. These people infiltrated the rear of Sagacony, not only to complete the mission jointly released by the three cities, but also to fight for the first person of the new generation of the hermitage.

The first person of the new generation is not just a name, but also more than that, there are also the future resources and other privileges of the hermitage. Therefore, the Vault Dwellers of Night City are more dedicated than the other two cities, and so far, Basa Statian has taken two castles, and the collection of food in the magic ring is as good as 4.5 tons, one ton of meat, and 3,000 C-grade power stones.

A lot of times Bashastian fantasized about how good it would be if all these supplies belonged to her, and she didn't think she would have to worry about food for a year or two. Underground, food is more scarce than energy stones. It's a pity that these are the trophies of Night City, and she only keeps them temporarily.

At this time, the samurai came down to report that a messenger was coming from the rear.

The two knights looked at Basa Stephen together, only to see each other smile charmingly, and said, "Go and see me, remember not to reveal my existence." As he spoke, he hung within fifty meters of the two knights, not far or close.

The Stone Castle on the edge of Area 1 was besieged by the Castlevania Vault Dwellers, and a total of nineteen Vault Dwellers rode moss-stepping lizards to attack the Stone Castle, which was similar in strength to the Deciduous Castle.

The captain of the knights ordered the gates to be closed, and led the knights to stand on the walls to block the invading enemy, with the samurai to assist. However, the disparity in strength between the two sides was too great, and the number of Vault Dweller knights was nearly twice that of the Knights, and these people completely ignored the bows and arrows and spears of the samurai, urging the lizard to come to the city wall about fifty meters, and directly jumped off the lizard's back and began to sprint, stepping on the ten-meter-high city wall as if walking on the ground.

The garrison knights were forced to fight on their backs, but Enoch only waved his hand, and immediately ten peak-level source knights surrounded them, he and the other eight peak-level source knights each drew their weapons, and looked at the twenty armored warriors with a light smile, and after half an hour, the noise gradually subsided, and the corpses were all over the field.

Enoch led the people to the castle cellar, and was about to have each of them bring three days' rations and set fire to the cellar, but when they went down to the cellar, they found that they had already been taken inside.

As soon as they entered the cellar, everyone in Castlevania suddenly felt that their eyes were a little brighter, and the woman next to the load-bearing pillar was leaning lazily, the fullness of her body was about to come out, and her body seemed to be dripping with ripeness.

Who can stand this goblin?

Even if these people have been in the dark for a long time, they can't help but lose their minds for a moment when they see her, and fall into a beautiful reverie. Even Zhuoer, who is also a woman, has a blurred look in his eyes.

"Good afternoon, giggles, heroes of Castlevania!" The woman's voice was as lazy as her demeanor, as if a cat crawled over the tips of everyone's hearts, tickling people.

Enoch was the first to come back to his senses, only to see him silently retreat into the crowd before asking, "The witch of Nighttown?" The words were like a giant drum thundering, which woke everyone up at once, and they realized that just now, they had lost their resistance, if there was any evil intention on the other side......

Everyone who came to their senses couldn't help but feel a little grateful to Enoch.

"Introduce yourself, member of the Witch Order, Selena Constance." Selena didn't care about Enoch's dismantling of her mental suggestion, but asked with a grin, "Are you Enoch from the Abyss Hermitage?" ”

"It's me." Enoch nodded, "You didn't come here to pick peaches, did you?" ”

Everyone glared angrily when they heard this, a castle was an enchanted weapon and so many power stones, whoever wanted to grab it had to ask if the sword in their hand agreed.

Selena was in the enemy camp but did not panic at all, and replied with a giggle: "Of course not, please don't misunderstand." Selena is just one person, how dare she go against you? ”

"And what are you going to do?" Even with the outnumbered people, Enoch did not take it lightly, because he knew that the witches of the Witch Cult were the best at demagoguery, and could make the powerful people willing to serve them. Enoch didn't want to be such a puppet slave.

Selena smiled charmingly and said, "I'm here, naturally I have a big business I want to talk to you about, I wonder if you're interested in robbing the high-level guards of the Wind Knights?" It's still three. ”

Enoch's eyes froze: "The risk is big enough, but what about the benefits?" ”

Selena smiled even more......
