The knight of the kingdom stared at the robber with scrutiny: "Are you sure you read it right?"
"It's absolutely true! Lord Knight! Before I joined the Wolf Thieves, I was a coachman in the caravan under Borol Christie for a few years. No one remembers the three scars on his forehead better than I do. !" The robber quickly explained, whether he can survive depends on this valuable information.
"Borol Christie Borol Christie."
The captain of the White Wolf Knight repeated, his eyes moved, thinking of a certain caravan that passed by the Earl of Delavan a few months ago: "No wonder it sounds familiar, I have met this guy a few times, the left side of the forehead is close to There are indeed a few scars between the eyebrows."
"Have you seen it?" Lallen asked curiously.
"Yeah." Krill nodded: "A few months ago, I happened to meet Borol Christie at the trade guild in Greenmenhagen City. He is considered to be one of the several southern cities in Midden. One of the well-known businessmen, he owns several trade caravans, and his trade customers are mostly municipal councilors and nobles, and he has a wide range of contacts.
"A wealthy businessman sneaked into the deep forest to meet the green forest robber, Krill, don't you think it's strange?" Lallen frowned, and after thinking about it, he asked: "Borol Christie belongs to a certain A big noble, or some kind of merchant guild?"
Creel sneered: "It should be the second type, too many congressmen and politicians have intersections with him. As far as I know, Borol Christie does not belong to any faction, he is more like a grass on the wall, swaying with the wind, no Any public praise or belittling is a virtue like those **** imperial nobles who eat, drink and wait to die."
"Laylen, do you suspect that he is the power that secretly supported the wolf bandit?"
"No, it's not that I doubt him, but that there is a bigger force behind him." Laylen said solemnly: "Borol Christie is most likely a pawn, an insignificant pawn."
The knights of the kingdom immediately think of the endless assassination incidents in the history of the empire. It turns out that the daggers hidden behind the scenes are even more difficult to guard against.
The captain of the white wolf knight knew the importance of it, and said: "I will send someone to investigate him secretly. No matter what, he must not be a good person if he is related to the robber."
"In a short period of time, it is best not to have any suspicious moves." Laylen shook his head: "Since the wolf thief group has been wiped out, this fortress and all the spoils belong to us, a force that can deploy a large number of provincial army equipment. , his influence should not be underestimated, before we investigate, he will definitely get the wind, and it is very likely that he will disappear, and then trying to find Borol Christie is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack."
"Then what should we do? Let him live?" Krill couldn't make up his mind. He was good at leading his wolf cubs to charge and fight, and all intrigue matters were left to his brother, Earl of Draven, Leif.
"I do have an idea." The kingdom knight thought of another businessman. Taking advantage of their profit-seeking nature, they might be able to unearth more secrets.
In the early morning of the next day, the rest of the imperial army still stationed in the camp in the forest gradually moved in. The few robbers who escaped were captured by the Ranger scouts, and they would be escorted to the town of Bray to be judged by the count.
After occupied the entire fortress, the ruins of the flames were extinguished, billowing gunpowder smoke, and the large pit caused by the explosion inside the fortress was eye-catching.
The spoils of war hidden in the underground warehouse, boxes full of coins of various sizes, more than 3,000 imperial gold coins, including Kislev coins and the "golden round shield" of the Knights Kingdom, which are engraved with the founding king Gilles St. Like, the weight and size are a bit larger than the currencies of other human kingdoms.
Surprisingly, in the corner of the icy warehouse, an iron box was placed, and after opening it, about thirty pieces of gold "leaf" and silver "leaf" were found, which were coins of wood elves, and the workmanship was no less than works of art. Natural objects, worth about five to seven hundred gold coins, are unique and sought-after items for collectors.
The whole box of agate, amber, emeralds and even the scarce hematite, the huge number of decorations is enough to make the female nobles faint with excitement.
"We've made a fortune." The White Wolf Knight laughed from ear to ear as he counted.
"Yes, we got rich."
Lailun did not interfere with the follow-up cleaning of the battlefield, and most of the credit for the wolf thief group belonged to the Oak Village army, and 60% of the spoils would belong to him. The White Wolf Knight Creel represented Earl Draven, plus some of the military exploits were also divided. Thirty percent, and the remaining one is thrown to the other knights and lords of the kingdom who participated in the war.
After a war, the experience value has increased by more than 2000 points, and the piety value has increased by less than 100 points. There is still a long way to go to the next level.
And this overall intact robber fort, just when the imperial army is about to withdraw, the lord panel has a new prompt.
【Wolf Bandit Fortress (Level 2)】
【Lord: ? 】
【Category: Defense Fortress】
【Power: ? 】
【Population: 0】
【Development: +40】
【Build: Fortress Wall (Level 2)】
【Buildable: Lookout Station】
【Garrison: ? 】
【Is it occupied? 】
The fort itself is the biggest loot. The terrain here is excellent, and it is located on the main road of Greenmen Hagen Canyon, facing mountains on both sides. If Katarina, the wood elf, had found the secret road ahead of time, it would be extremely difficult to capture this place. unusual.
It can be transformed into a portal fortress of the territory, which can not only play a defensive role, but also detect enemy movements. The northern part of Oak Village is no longer empty, and the beastmen will become very active in summer. Laren also needs to be prepared in advance. .
Laylen silently said "Occupy" in his heart, and the detailed panel of the Wolf Bandit's fortress appeared.
【Wolf Bandit Fortress (Level 2)】
【Lord: Lallen】
【Category: Human Fortress】
【Faction: Oak Village】
【Population: 0】
【Development: +40】
【Build: Fortress Wall (Level 2)】
【Buildable: Lookout Station, Stable (Level 1), Wooden House】
【Garrison: 0, Hero: 0】
【The task of developing territory (1\\3) is completed! 】
【Quest Reward: Extra Hero Recruitment Capacity*1, Random Architecture Blueprints*2, Unlock the 'Province' Sequence】
[Task release: Master a complete province, requirements: three strongholds (including at least one small human town)]
[Provincial task reward: marching speed +10%, order +2, development +40, all building output value +10%]
Lyren was blinded by a series of quest completions and quest reminders. He received two streamers in a daze, and looked in a daze at a small area in the northern part of Oak Village on the campaign map.
The two human strongholds of Oak Village and Wolf Bandit Fortress are separate and independent, and Oak Village has two more warhammer logos on the border of the battle map, symbolizing the provincial capital, and the changes are not only these.
The road connecting the two strongholds is more obvious, as if it was intentionally turned over, and the fortress that originally belonged to robbers is now covered with imperial flags.
Looking at the two special architectural drawings, [Jungle Hunter Camp] and [Mage Library], the Kingdom Knight was at a loss for a while.
【Current fort can be built: Jungle Hunter Camp】
【Whether to build】
The system prompts followed, Lallen gasped and chose to build.
A stream of light flickered, and the big hole where the original armory was located was filled and replaced by several brand-new wooden houses, with a circle of animal skins hanging on the wooden frame, apparently obtained through hunting.
[Jungle Hunter Camp (Special Building): Produces 15 bundles of fur, can recruit Ranger Hunters (\\80)]
About 40 hunters walked out of the wooden hut. They were dressed like rangers. Each of them carried a longbow and two pots of arrow feathers behind them, and a short sword or dagger was pinned to a simple leather belt.
They walked in front of Lallen and knelt down on one knee in unison: "Listen to your orders, my lord!"
"Tool man?" Lallen looked very surprised.
【Special unit "Forest Hunter": Excellent range, fast reloading, suitable for fighting in small spaces such as jungles and forest terrain, composed of experienced hunters, good at fighting beastmen and green orcs]
[Description: Hunters are also prey, but their longbow can shoot the prey first, they are more professional than the peasants in the knight kingdom]
The 40 forest hunters in front of him consume five gold coins and food every month. As a special unit, it seems to be designed for this fortress.
It takes a long time to train archers. The longbowmen of the Knight Kingdom started training when they were young, and they were all training time, and some duchies would set aside one day a week to train the serfs in their bowing skills.
And the imperial army has gradually eliminated backward bows and arrows and replaced them with standard crossbows. After all, the latter are simple to operate, with good power and range. Loading, aiming, and shooting are all done in one go, even the stupidest guy can learn it.
In the jungle battle, the reloading speed of the crossbow becomes a chicken rib, and the effect of the bow and arrow is more prominent.
Forest hunter replenishment requires piety and territory population, and can be recruited directly from [Jungle Hunter Camp], the price is [40 piety \\person].
After figuring out the ins and outs, Lallen spent 1600 piety points and recruited 40 forest hunters in one go, expanding the forest hunters to a standard company size, and at the same time reaching the maximum number of recruits.
In the future, they will be stationed at the northern border of Oak Village, watching the beast tide in Dracowald Forest.
The knights of the kingdom dispatched the ranger Albert under his command to the new stronghold and stationed him as a hero unit. His characteristic [Eye of the Hunt] is more suitable for hunters.
【New base can be named】
Lairn thought for a while, the name of the new stronghold must be well thought out, in line with the characteristics of this fortress:
"The new stronghold is called Macedonian Fortress!"
For the next three days, the Imperial Bandit Suppression Army went deep into the outskirts of the forest and swept away two small bandit strongholds in one fell swoop.
When was about to return to the territory on the night of the march, Lallen and the others found a medium-sized beastmen warband in a glade.
Dancing abominable creatures, there are about two hundred of them, wrestling around a bonfire, frantic, biting, with horns on the top of their heads, bodies like men and women, animal claws, hooves and dirty Exuberant hair, symbolizing their complete descent into chaos.
Some of the female horns and the strongest males are hiding in the bushes outside the campfire, and have sex.
To breed more horns before summer comes, it is a scene that the painters can't describe, full of grotesque and absurd, wild and depraved creatures, cattle and sheep standing with two hooves against stout trees, coincident like people.
"Hooho." The pair of scarlet beast eyes of the bighorn beast became more and more red due to the satisfaction of excitement and desire. It opened its sharp teeth and frantically bit the female horned beast tightly held by the animal's claws.
The Beastmen were so noisy that the approach of the Imperial Army was deaf to them, enjoying their bliss without knowing that the Death Scythe had been lowered.
Hiding behind a bush not far away, Buck Knight Milton Sean whispered, "Although I have seen the mating scene of war horses in the stable, this kind of beast really opened my eyes."
"Then you don't know that these beasts will take away human women on the night of the full moon to vent their animal desires and breed more beasts."
Krill, the white wolf knight in front of Milton, was crouching behind the tree trunk, the knuckles of the hammer in his right hand rattled, and said in a cold tone: "I will never forget that scene, the man who was tied to the boulder. Unfortunate woman, her **** fracture is thick with blood scabs, and rotting flies surround her waiting to feast on her corpse."
"She painfully saved the last shred of reason and begged me to kill her and set her free."
"The only thing we have to do is give them death."
The sound of sharp swords being unsheathed was like a prelude to a viper waiting for an opportunity. The infantrymen gestured and gradually surrounded them, breathing out the air-conditioning of the night, ready to fight.
The beastman beat the human skin drum, revelling wildly, shouting loudly, the roar was full of joy, and the shouting became louder and louder.
The wicked horned beasts on the outermost post did not enjoy the desecration ceremony. They had died tragically under the superb archery skills of the wood elves and rangers.
Lairen raised his warhammer, dozens of dwarven hand crossbows and longbows were reloaded, deadly arrow feathers aimed at the glade.
"Whoosh!" A star rocket pierced through the dark forest, cutting through the cold air and hitting the beast king's throat.
"Uh" with a thick nose of blood, it screamed miserably, trying to scratch the broken arrow shaft with its claws, and several arrows flew in a row from the shadows, hitting every key point and piercing deeply into its body.
"Roar!!"
The roar of the Beastmaster made the entire Beastmen war gang stagnate. They tried to pick up machetes and wooden spears, and their stupid minds blindly looked at the deep forest.
Obviously, Lailun was unwilling to give them a chance to react. A large group of human infantrymen poured out from the dark forest, with sharp spear heads and sharp blades pointing directly at the key points. The crossbowmen and archers were already ready to go, pulling the crossbow machine. , shake the bowstring.
"咻咻咻" first harvested a lot of bad horned beasts and war mastiffs. The powerful dwarf hand crossbow was amazing, and it restrained light-armored monsters. The beasts who had not responded in time paid a painful price, and dozens of horned beasts were killed on the spot.
The Hammer of Helam shines like a candle in the middle of the night, following its master forward.
The furious battle cry of human beings sounded from all directions:
"For Sigma (Urik)!"
"For the Empire!"
