The large fortress coalition slowly walked on the way to the border town.

At the front of the team is the Knights composed of six people.From the armour and dress of each knight, you can see the difference in the strength of the family.Undoubtedly, the most striking is the knights under the Duke of Lane, the crotch of the mount are from the royal capital of the short-tailed horse, good at long-distance running, larger than other horses.The knight sitting on the horse's back is even more powerful, their armor is unified by the fortress "the hammer and the dragon's tooth" blacksmith shop, the silver shiny thick chest carved with a huge lion's head, the shoulder is two wolf heads, as if in the open mouth roaring.The back of the mantle is embroidered with exquisite patterns, and the waist is also tied with red ribbons.

These knights are not like that.Every year, after the end of the month of the devil, they are responsible for clearing the remaining evil beasts out of the city to ensure that the land is open.Everyone has accumulated a considerable experience in combat, and when it comes to fighting alone, they are not much worse than the Knights of the Royal Order, but the number is slightly insufficient, of course, to save a hundred and fifty elite knights by the duke's strength, which is already a very astonishing cost.

The Duke of Lane looked with satisfaction at this sharp division, and there was no doubt that with their strength no one in the West could stop him.

Walking in the middle of the team is the mercenary forces, their equipment is much inferior, most people wear some old lock or armor, either lack of guards, or no helmet.There are also some people who are only equipped with cheap leather armor, and the weapons are all kinds.They scattered along the road very open, three or two places together, while walking loudly and laughing, as if this trip is not to fight, but just a spring sightseeing.

At the end of the line were the free people, who were forced by the lords tow a wheel carrying food and tents, slowly following the mercenaries.The difference in speed made the team of about fifteen hundred men very long, and the front knights needed to stop from time to time and wait for the people behind to follow.

"My lord," said Hilté Medea, Count of the Elk, tugging on the reins and letting himself go with the duke, "we are still half a day away from the border town, and if, if we are well, we shall arrive at the time of the dogs (at 4 p.m.).Will the troops rest the night, wait until the next morning, or immediately attack the castle of the lords?"

“Do you want to sleep in the field?”The duke laughed, “At night I think we should lie on the big bed of the castle, not the wet mud.”Of course, the royal face should be taken into account.When I arrive in the border town, I will send a messenger to persuade him to surrender.”

The Earl of Honeysuckle, walking a little forward, turned back, "The knights have gone away one day, and the people and horses are tired, will it not be appropriate to attack directly?"After all, Roland Wimbledon has spent the whole demonic month with his miners, and I think we should be careful."

“No one knows, even if you don’t know the bottom of the beast.”My old friend.They are indeed terrible in the wild, swift and powerful, but with the wall, most evil beasts are only targets.They are nothing but beasts.”The Count of the Elk shrugged, "I am surprised that he can build a wall so quickly, but with this alone, it is impossible to resist my knights?"They're not idiots without brains."

“That is it.And I received a message from the north," said the Duke Carelessly, "this year Helmes has been attacked by a large number of mixed evil beasts, and the new holy city has almost fallen.It is not clear why, but it seems that this year's evil beasts are all heading towards the Holy City, and this side of the West is just a few fish that are missing the net."

As the owner of the West, his eyes are not only focused on this remote place, but the major towns have been placed for many years, and he has been continuously transmitting the latest information back to all places.A few days ago, he received a secret report from the city of the cliff, and the new king Tifico and the Queen of Bishui Gyatsia broke out in the southern part of the Eagle City, and according to the previous news, Tiffico's team should not reach the Eagle City in a month.

The letter made no mention of the battle, but only described how few thousands of troops remained when Tifeko returned from the cliff-city, and he was unable to block roads as he had been when he came.Others saw the Eagle City blaze, the black plume of smoke almost flush with the clouds, and the residents of the surrounding towns witnessed this wonder.

Undoubtedly, whether the Queen of Blues died at the hands of Tfico, such a painful loss was a serious blow to the new king.This letter made the Duke of Lane stir, and sent a number of close friends to the royal and eastern lands overnight, hoping to find out the current situation of Fico.If this battle of the two kings had a chance to destroy the regime that the new king had not yet secured, he would never mind filling the fire with another torch.

If you want to be king independently, now is almost the best opportunity.The soldiers in the north are buried at the foot of the holy city, the south has just experienced a big war, obviously need to lie down and lick the wound, the eastern state and the king are not mentioned, I am afraid that within a few years have not returned.As long as you pull a group of people to eat the north, you can tear the gray castle in half.At that time, the territory and population he had compared with the northernmost permanderable kingdom of the mainland, and his strength could well compete with the southeast of the gray castle.

He, Osmond Lane, will be the first king of the land.

At this moment the Duke smiled with great length, and he hoped that the prince would return to-morrow, after the end of the farce to-day.Fortunately, in three days, he could receive good news from his close friends in the castle.

As the sun gradually slanted westward and approached the top of the mountains, Lane saw the looming outline of the castle in the border town... and a group of densely populated figures outside the town.

"Father, duke," said Rennes Meade, who was in charge of leading the way in front of the line, would have returned to report, "the men in front of them should be the guards of the four princes, all of them armed, and they do not seem to welcome us."

"Well, at least we don't have to bother to go to the castle to ask him," laughed the Count of the Elk, "to inform the knights, and to bring down the speed, and now it is far from the charge."

“Yes, father,” Ryan commanded.

Duke Lane held up his lookout mirror and looked at each other's formation.The line in the mirror looked very strange, and they held a strange weapon, and people stood next to each other in two dense rows.To say that the weapon is a long gun, you can't see the tip of the gun at all, and the grip is too short.And the array put out by the other party is too inconsistent with common sense... Such a thin line of defense, is it not a rush to wear?

This made the duke a little confused, even if the prince no longer has the common sense of the army, but he still has knights and guards, can not all accompany him to come?After a moment's thought, the duke decided to let the mercenaries take the lead, and the knights temporarily stopped in the rushing acceleration area to see what the prince had thought of.

Of course, the messengers of the persuasion are to be sent.The Duke of Lane called in a personal guard, "You go and tell the prince that I have no intention of harming him, but that the will of King Tifeko Wimbledon has been done, and I am obliged to obey."If he lay down his arms and surrenders, he will not be harmed, and I will escort him back to the capital as a prince."

The massing of the army was a very slow process, the knights continued to take hold, and the mercenaries were still gathering slowly before the formation.At this moment, the Duke of Lane saw four flashes of fire in each other's positions, and turned to a plume of smoke.He frowned, thought he was mistaken, and was trying to take a closer look at it with a lookout, and a series of thunderous bangs suddenly blew in his ear!(Unfinished.
