Glory Riding and Cutting

Pushing open the gate of the castle, Ronan said to the soldiers guarding the gate:

"Treat the inside and find a place to bury him properly. When Magna comes back, tell him to come to me and I'll clean it."

After speaking, he walked back to the castle to find a place to take a bath, and finally found a pool on the third floor of the castle. He took off his armor and rinsed it briefly. The cold water poured on Ronan's hot and red skin after the battle just now, and white spots appeared. steam.

Another convenient feature of the artifact plate armor is that it is not stained with blood, just rinse it with water and oil it, and you don't need to wipe it hard.

Ronan had just changed into a set of light and loose clothes when he remembered the knock on the door.

"Look for me, Lord Lord." It was Magna, and it seemed that he had already cleaned up those deserters.

"How's it going?" Ronan opened the door and walked out, asking Magna as he walked out.

"Most of the soldiers who escaped were caught. As long as they were slightly frightened, the residents would hand them over. I tied them up somewhere in the square."

"Well, those who are willing to surrender can directly break them up and incorporate them into our army. Those who are not willing to surrender can temporarily renovate a prison in the city lord's mansion, temporarily detain them, and guarantee that they will not starve to death every day."

"Most of those soldiers are locals, and there may be families who want to redeem them."

"Let them redeem it. Lobelen is the territory of Marquis Francisco, and he will never give it up easily. What do you think should be done?"

"Of course, the soldiers came to cover up the water and the earth. The nobles in Gaoling rarely have private soldiers. Francisco can't pull out an army that is enough to threaten us in a short time. We leave some soldiers, and Raven Lack is stationed here. After adding his subordinates, building the city gate and adding an iron gate, it will be difficult for Francisco to break through Loberen before our reinforcements arrive."

"He will definitely fight back, whether it's to regain territory or to make a statement."

"This just gives us an excuse to continue annexing their territory. If we can control Francisco's territory to the west, we will be equivalent to controlling nearly half of the coastline in the southwest of Gaoling. And there is only one distance between us and the capital. There is only one Viscounty left."

"Well, then you should stay here first. Ravenluck said that he has already dealt with the matters at sea. After he arrives, you can hand over the matter. I will return to Fengming with some guards. You and Ravenlach Come back to me after handover."

"Okay, my lord."

Ronan walked out of the city lord's mansion, and there were already soldiers waiting outside with their horses. Ronan took the reins and got on the horses, and then set off back to Fengming with a dozen or so Swadian knights who had already prepared.

Two days later, the handover between Magna and Ravenluck had been basically completed. Ravenluck, who was full of fangs and had three stripes resembling shark gills painted on the left and right sides of his face, was listening to Magna to arrange the next strategy.

"My lord has only one request, and that is to control the pirates under your command. Don't see pirates burning, killing and looting all over the street next time we come. It should take a while for Francisco to gather his forces to counterattack here , but the number of people will not be too many, and they will not be very strong. At that time, you only need to report to the lord.

You keep a part of the financial reports collected here, and send the rest to Fengming. That's all your mission for now. To defend this city, you will need your sea power later. "

"Okay, general, I know what to do. I will restrain those little bastards. They dare not disobey me. I am very confident in this." Ravenlack withdrew a cruel smile from the corner of his mouth. With his mouth full of fangs and tattoos on his face, he is even more ferocious.

Ravenlach is a hybrid of human and mermaid. His fangs are inherited from his mother. The mermaid mentioned here is not the kind of mermaid in fairy tales, but a kind of human-like upper body and thick water snake lower body. They can use their appearance and unique abilities to deceive people on passing ships. Once people are tricked into the water to find it, they will become its delicious meal.

But later the mages discovered that these mermaids are actually a species of curse handed down from ancient times. Through spells or potions, people can temporarily relieve their curse and make them change into human form for a short time. Unfortunately, those big pirates and nobles are proud to have such a pet.

The mermaids were later hunted and had to go to deeper sea areas, so they easily stopped showing themselves in front of humans. Ravenluck is the child of his father and a mermaid slave, but his father didn't treat him well. He disliked him because of his appearance since he was a child, and a mermaid called him a little bastard. Ravenluck's status is like a slave Same.

Later, Ravenluck's talent became more and more obvious. The mixed race like him was stronger, more water-like, and more ferocious. It developed into a powerful pirate group composed of half-bloods, which raged for a while.

The iron lung that Ronan got from him is quite useful, it can greatly strengthen Ronan's lung capacity, such as vital capacity and breath-holding time. Cooperating with Ronan's Qi posture, the effect is remarkable.

Leaving Ravenluck aside for the time being, Aldridge and Meriuses finally got the reinforcements that Sneko said after waiting for a few days, and the speed of dispatching troops was much slower than Sneko had imagined.

There are less than 2,000 people in the coalition army, and there are more than 20 nobles' banners alone. However, according to Aldridge's observation, there is not a single famous noble in it, and they should all be formed by the vassals of those nobles.

Most of the nobles loyal to the second prince who are closer to the capital have joined the second prince's expeditionary force. It is not easy for the rest to squeeze out so many troops. It is estimated that there are not many defenders left in their territory.

Most of them were temporarily recruited farmers, and the more elite ones were only the servants of the noble knights. Aldridge observed it on the city wall and came to a conclusion.

There are not many guards patrolling the city wall, in order to make these reinforcements think that most of the troops have withdrawn after the city was captured, leaving only a part of the defenders, which may attract those guys to attack.

"If they launch an attack, open the city gate. I will charge out with the cavalry, and you will charge with the infantry and follow me. Only a small number of archers will be left on the wall. If they withdraw, we will go out of the city to pursue , they are not as fast as us, and Matthias has already brought the Lion and the Darth Vader nearby.

In short, this force must be wiped out here! "Aldridge said to Meriuses beside him.
