When Abel came out of the VIP room, the chatter on the side attracted his attention. Several businessmen were chatting in the rest area of the auction house.

"Have you seen Lord Marshall's golden armor?"

"I've never seen it. I've heard people talk about it in the past few days."

"I have seen it. My eyes were dazzled at the time. Just yesterday, Lord Marshall came to Harvest City wearing his golden armor. When he got off the carriage pulled by the blazing bull, I seemed to see it. A ball of sunshine, the armor shines so brightly that one can see the figure."

"Some time ago, wasn't the armor of Prince Wyatt George's bodyguard the Kingdom's National Guard also golden?"

"It's incomparable. The golden armor of the Kingdom's National Guard looks like it's made of brass compared to Lord Marshall's armor."

When Abel heard this, he already knew that his dear Uncle Marshall had gone to Harvest City to show off in his Taurus armor, but what the businessman said was true. The golden armor of the Kingdom's National Guard was indeed mixed with a lot of Brass can appear golden. Although the protective power of the armor is reduced, the dignity of the kingdom is the most important, and a little defense is not important.

"Lord Abel, if you can auction the same set of golden armor that Lord Marshall wears, it will be very popular!" Ms. Yvette suggested softly from the side.

Abel chuckled, waved his hand and said, "That set of armor took too long and cost me a lot of thought. I won't make a second set for the time being."

In fact, Abel has already decided not to sell the works identified as golden equipment by Master Thorin Oakenshield, because from the words of Master Thorin Oakenshield, he can feel that the materials for making golden equipment are more precious. If he sells them, It will make people wonder about the source of his materials, and not many people can afford the high price of golden equipment.

After hearing the evasive words in Abel's mouth, Ms. Yvette did not persuade him any more.

Amidst Ms. Yvette's warm farewell, Abel left Edmund's Auction House to join the guards.

Then Abel went to all the shops selling potions in Harvest City and purchased a second set of potions that could be combined into one batch. There were only 11,250 gold coins left in the magic gold card.

"Master, my lord is looking for you everywhere and wants you to see him. He is waiting for you in the other courtyard." Elliott, a knight squire from Harry Castle, galloped over on horseback, dismounted and saluted.

"Elliot, how did you find me?" Abel bowed slightly and asked a little strangely in return.

"My lord's guards and knight squires all came out to look for you. I found you first." Knight squire Elliot explained.

Seeing Elliot's anxious look, Abel was a little surprised that Lord Marshall was so anxious to find him. He quickly got back into the carriage and quickly rushed to the Harvest City annex of Harry Castle under the protection of the guards.

"Abel, you are finally here." Lord Marshall walked a few steps with a gloomy face and grabbed Abel who had just got off the carriage.

"Uncle Marshall, what happened?" Abel asked quickly.

"Senior Knight Saroyan, do you remember?" Lord Marshall asked Abel without answering.

"Yes, of course, he was the one who led the army to encircle and suppress the orcs, and won a great victory, and was granted the title of knight." Although he only met once, Abel was deeply impressed by the senior knight of Saroyan. He was a humble man. knight.

"Something happened to him." Lord Marshall said in a deep voice, with a hint of sadness in his eyes. Since the last time they met at the City Lord's Mansion, Lord Marshall and the senior knight Saroyan have gotten together several times. The two are very attached to each other, and they are already very good friend.

Senior Knight Saroyan is a senior knight, and there are not many senior knights in Harvest City. What's more, Senior Knight Saroyan is a general who commands an elite army of thousands of people. What can happen to him? Abel looked at Lord Marshall doubtfully.

"The senior knight Saroyan has been busy with the construction of his territory recently. He had just repaired the castle in the territory and was attacked by werewolves. No one in the castle could escape. A servant who went into the city to buy groceries discovered the werewolves when he returned. The attack was reported to Harvest City. By the time the reinforcements arrived, the battle was over. The senior knight Saroyan had lost his body and his head was taken away by the werewolf." Lord Marshall finished the whole story through gritted teeth.

"Is it the revenge of the werewolf?" Abel was a little surprised. At this time, he thought of the extraordinary werewolf of the Woolf family. Could it be that the Woolf family came to take revenge.

"Judging from the traces left in the castle, only one kind of orc participated in the battle, all of which were wolf cavalry. Wolf cavalry that can kill senior knights are not ordinary wolf cavalry." Lord Marshall looked at Abel and continued. : "This must be the revenge of the werewolves. Werewolf nobles were definitely involved in the last siege. Since the senior knight Saroyan commanded that battle, he and the people in his castle were all massacred."

"You mean, our castle will also be in danger?" Abel finally knew why Lord Marshall was so eager to find him.

"Let's go back to the castle as soon as possible. We need to strengthen the defense of the castle to prevent werewolf attacks." Lord Marshall's voice was very calm, but the murderous intention in it could be clearly felt by Abel, who had experienced a life and death struggle.

"Can you ask the city lord to send some knights to help us defend?" Abel felt very dangerous about the wolf cavalry that could attack the castle and kill the senior knights. Although he was not afraid of these wolf cavalry, the ordinary people in the castle could not stop them. To avoid the attack of the Wolf Cavalry, it is always better to have more manpower to defend.

"After hearing the news, the city lord has summoned all the available knights and high-level mercenaries from the mercenary guild to prepare to defend Harvest City. The city lord is worried that the crazy werewolves will target Harvest City, so the current situation is There is no way to send anyone to help us." Lord Marshall understood the city lord's arrangement, but he was very dissatisfied with the city lord's failure to send anyone to help.

Deploying some knights from Harvest City will not have much impact on the defense of Harvest City. Lord Marshall does not believe that the werewolf clan will send a large number of high-level werewolves to the deepest part of the human world. If the werewolf operation fails, the losses of these high-level werewolves will also be lost. It will deal a blow to the status of the werewolf clan in the orc empire.

Whether they are orcs or humans, they are very valuable for high-level combat power. The resources used to cultivate each high-level combat power are extremely difficult for even some small and medium-sized families.

Therefore, this is the reason why the orcs will send a large number of new orc warriors to the human world, but rarely send advanced combat power to the human world.

The fertility of the orcs is very strong, and the resources of the orc empire are very limited. Every year, a large number of orc warriors undergo life and death trials for resources, and the orc empire also uses life and death trials to eliminate some inferior orc warriors. Reduce the consumption of resources and select fine tax warriors to expand the army.

According to Lord Marshall's estimation, there will not be many senior wolf cavalry coming to the human world this time. A lone knight like the senior knight Saroyan has no way to use a war horse in the castle, and at most he is equivalent to a senior warrior. , maybe good training makes him stronger than ordinary warriors, but the horse fighting ability that knights are good at cannot be brought into play, and wolf cavalry has the strongest mount on the ground. As long as there are two senior wolf cavalry, Saroyan can make senior The knight had no way to escape.

The power of knights is that the more people there are, the more power they exert. One knight can face one wolf cavalry, and 10 knights can easily defeat 50 wolf cavalry as long as they are given time to charge. The survivability of a single knight is greatly reduced.

Abel wanted to prepare for the possible next battle. He said to the knight knight Elliot: "Elliot, please help me buy a large number of small gems and send them back to Harry Castle immediately after buying them."

While talking to Abel, he took out 5 hundred gold coins from his clothes, actually pressed his hand on the Horadric Cube, put it into a money bag, took out the money bag and handed it to Eliot, the knight attendant.

"Yes, Master." Knight Eliot did not ask about the function of these gems, but immediately took the gold coins and left on horseback.

When Lord Marshall and Abel returned to Harry Castle, they found that everything was safe in the castle. They looked at each other and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. On the way back, they had been worried about whether the castle had been attacked.

There is no need to worry about Abel Castle. Only a few people such as the City Lord's Palace, Harry Castle and Abel Castle know that the former Matthew Castle has become Abel Castle. Before the official award, others only know Abel Castle. They will just be given a territory.
