In front of the empty dilapidated small castle.
There was only one serf who looked after the castle.
He replied tremblingly: "My lord, my lord, all the nobles and lords in Mane City have gathered in Mane City. It was the Earl of Parsley Castle who gave the order. Mr. Steward of the castle gave me ten copper coins, Let me watch over the castle so that no one digs up the flowers in the garden."
After listening to the words of the serf.
Liszt frowned and thought deeply: "Sure enough, knowing that the army is pressing down on the border, all the nobles began to form a group to resist... Except for Mane City, there are probably not many knights in this area."
He quickly made a decision: "The closest thing to Mane City is Honey Town, about 20 kilometers away, and we can arrive in half an hour. Let's go to Honey Town!"
"My lord, are you too close to Mane City?" Raiden reminded.
"Keep vigilant at night. I hope they will abandon the city and launch a sneak attack on me. If not, we will take a rest for one night and we will attack the city directly. With Dou Sen around, their castle can't last for many minutes. Destroy the castle, Destroy the knights in Mane City, and turn in quickly!"
Dou Sen's rock thorns are almost the fastest magic to dismantle the castle, unless the castle has anti-magic materials.
After destroying the knights in Mane City, cooperate with the earl to destroy Snyder's Parsley Castle, and then quickly advance to the next big city.
Ironshoe Island has only eleven major cities in total. The three seaport cities of Oxfoot City, Oxhorn City, and Oxtail City have already been occupied. One is to compete for a huge credit.
In fact, it is not difficult to wipe out Ironshoe Island.
Although the Bull Marquis could sneak attack and injure the Sapphire Dragon, but that was more than thirty years of preparation, no matter how strong he is, he is only a Marquis.
Strength is limited.
Now the Grand Duke has summoned all his followers to jointly encircle and suppress from all major ports. Without the interference of external factors, this battle is a great opportunity to grab credit. Besides, the knights directly under the Marquis of the Bull - the Knights of Wrath, had already gone to fight the second prince.
The area around Niujiao City is theoretically an abandoned battlefield. If you don't claim credit at this time, when will you have to wait.
"The only thing to be careful of is the magicians at the Goat Gathering. The Marquis of the Bull is deeply involved with the group of evil magicians at the Goat Gathering... However, these nobles who follow him may not have any relationship with the magicians." Liszt said After making your own decision, let others discuss it for a while.
In the end, his decision prevailed, and he quickly rushed to Honey Town.
Honey Town is only two kilometers away from Mane City, which is almost a distance that can be run in a charge. When the red clouds at dusk cover the western sky, the Black Knights have already blocked the main road going out of Honey Town.
The town has no knights garrisoned.
Liszt directly ordered: "Start the clean-up, just drive away the serfs, don't kill the serfs at will!" In any case, he is the soul of a modern person, and he is far from being indifferent to life.
Selling serfs is already the greatest crime he can achieve against the common people.
"Yes, my lord!"
The Black Knights quickly cleaned up the serfs in the town, drove the serfs out of the castle, and then set up camp around the castle—of course, some serfs were driven over to help the knights fix tents, collect firewood, carry water and dig soil, etc. .
The knights searched the inside and outside of the town, and when they returned, the camp had already been set up.
"My lord, among the serfs, there should be quite a few rats that Mane City used to inquire about news. Unfortunately, we only caught two. Their kind should have brought the news of our arrival to Mane City." Captain Layden reported. road.
"It doesn't matter, I originally planned to let the people in Mane City know the news... Tonight they will either be in fear, have a restless night's sleep, or arrange a sneak attack. No matter what, it can't change the outcome of the battlefield... We came here to conquer and Siege!"
After finishing the scene, speak harshly.
Liszt said again: "Bring the two mice here."
The mouse was quickly brought in, and had already suffered from flesh and blood, so he didn't have any backbone, so he just poured out beans and said what he knew: "Dear Lord Knight, there are nearly 130 Earth Knights in Mane City, The strongest are Baron Murray, the elite land knights, who are all stationed in the castle."
Another mouse hurriedly said: "The castle is on the hillside, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there is plenty of water and food. Now Baron Murray and other adults are still building rock walls and preparing to defend the castle... They may not Not going to attack."
"Why didn't you plan to attack or escape, but chose to defend?" Liszt asked.
"Maybe they dare not leave the territory without authorization. Once they leave, they will be escaping and will be punished more severely." The previous mouse replied.
The other one shook his head, and said loudly: "Honorable Sir Knight, Parker is willing to exchange an important secret for my freedom."
"Tell me, if it's really a big secret, I don't mind letting you go." Liszt gave Marcus a look, and the Earth Knight dragged the previous mouse away.
Mouse Parker breathed a sigh of relief: "It's like this. I have a brother who works as a mouse in Niu Mao City. He fell in love with Trish, the maid of Parsley Castle. Once when they were doing good things in the warehouse, they overheard a The magician came to Parsley Castle to discuss matters secretly with the Earl."
The magician told Earl Snyder that the Marquis of the Bull needed him to hold on to the castle and delay the attack of the army.
And promised that when the matter is successful, he can be awarded the new marquis due to meritorious service. Even if Sneijder unfortunately dies in battle, his son will inherit the position of marquis.
"The Earl's son is serving in the Knights of Wrath, which is the Knights of the Marquis, so the Earl quickly agreed to the magician and guarded the Fort of Parsley." Mouse Parker said categorically.
"Have they ever said, what happened after the success?"
"I don't know, Lord Knight, I've already told you everything I know. These are the news that my brother bragged to me after drinking. He said that he and Tracy had a good relationship, which is equivalent to sleeping with the maid of the future Lord Marquis." After Parker finished speaking, he couldn't help asking, "Master Knight, you promised to give me freedom, and I promise to leave Mane City without looking back."
"Of course, I'll give you freedom right now, Marcus, take him out." Liszt said, giving Marcus a knowing look.
After a while, Marcus brought another mouse over and said, "My lord, Parker has obtained complete freedom." He deliberately emphasized the word "freedom".
In this world, being alive, there will be many constraints anytime, anywhere.
Lister looked at the mouse: "Your accomplice Parker has exchanged his secrets for his freedom, and you, if you also have enough valuable secrets, you can also be free."
The mouse faltered: "Master Knight, I... I... Ah, yes, I know, I have a secret!"
"What secret?"
"It's an elf worm. Barley worms are being bred in the barley field belonging to Baron Murray outside Mane City. Baron Murray can't move it away, so he can only keep it outside... But, but, several days have passed, I don't know if the barley worm was bred or not."
Breeding barley bug
Liszt raised his brows, unexpectedly getting an unexpected surprise.
