The coachman's voice came from outside the curtain: "Honorable priest, the town of Salt Marsh is four miles ahead. "

Arrived?" Pompeii lifted the curtain of the car, glanced at it a few times, and shook his head with a wry smile, "This Woolly Grindo, can actually stay in such a place......" In Pompeii's

impression, Woolley is not only wise and superhuman, but also knows how to live and enjoy very well, is the kind of person who is willing to design and clean up his home beautifully, but the scene in front of him is barren and desolate, and it seems that even the clouds in the sky are very low and dark.

After telling the coachman to stop, Pompey got out of the carriage, held on to the beam and waved behind him, and then a young man in leather armor rode his horse.

"Pompeii. The young man's face was as clear as a carving, and his features were unusually handsome, especially the eyes, which were as clear as a spring in the forest.

"Salare, you should go to Salt Marsh Town first to inform Lord Woolley, it's not good that so many of our chariots and horses are suddenly approaching, and there is a misunderstanding. Pompeii said.

"Yes. Sales bowed his head and shook the reins of his horse, and the horse under his seat ...... running

At this moment, Woolley was standing on the top floor of the consul's residence, with a telescope in his hand looking in the direction of the convoy led by Pompey, and behind him, Elho was standing a little nervously, with a big red flag at his feet, as long as Woolley waved his hand, she needed to raise this red flag for warning.

"These carts and horses don't look like they belong to traders, and the Guru side is afraid that they are not so fast, they should be their own people. Woolley put down his binoculars and turned back to El, nodding at El, "You've done a good job, and I haven't found you so clever when you look at the consul's office." "

Thank you, young master, for the compliment. El said with a smile, a stone in her heart also fell to the ground, staying by Woolley's side for a long time, she always unconsciously thinks about Woolley, and is willing to share Woolley's worries, for example, today the observation post in the official residence is sick, so she took the initiative to guard for him.

"You stay on duty, and I'll find someone to replace you at noon." Wu Lai smiled slightly, "The convoy that came has stopped and sent a rider over, I'll go to the arrow tower at the entrance of the town to have a look."

Er hurriedly nodded: "Young master, go slowly." "

......

After slowing down his horse, there was a hint of curiosity in Salace's eyes, he had been to many towns, but it was the first time he had seen a defensive arrangement like Salt Marsh Town, which protected the canal and the arrow tower- The wide canal surrounds the town, the inner bank is lined with spurs, there is a tall city gate at the entrance of the town, there is a stone arrow tower arch guard on the left and right sides, the stone parapet wall of the arrow tower spreads out more than 20 steps like a wing and connects with the surrounding houses, making it difficult to see the scene behind the gate, but the ground in front of the city gate is not dug up, leaving a road equal to the width of the city gate, which can be used for two carriages in parallel.

It's kind of weird. Salis muttered in his heart, but he couldn't help but have some admiration for the designer of this set of defenses, which may not be the best, but it is the most adaptable- Although the parapet wall is good, but once the number of enemies who come to attack is large, the number of troops that need to be deployed will also increase greatly, otherwise it can only be a virtual existence, the ditch is different, the width of twenty cubits, the outer bank is low and the inner bank is high, the manpower is insurmountable, although the horses can, but the inner bank is not still placed in a row to resist the spurs, and this city gate, not only thick and heavy, but also not even the city gate hole, that is to say, the arrow towers on both sides of the city gate defense is not a dead end, whether you want to close to the fire or carry the giant wood to directly collide, you must first brave the rain of arrows to advance。

The city gate was closed, and Salis could only call the door, and as soon as he shouted twice, a figure appeared on the wooden bridge connecting the two arrow towers above the city gate.

At first glance, Salres's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and what appeared on the wooden bridge was a young man, who looked less than twenty years old, wearing a simple linen and black shirt, but he couldn't hide his outstanding heroic posture, as if he was born with the momentum of a king in the world, handsome and incomparable facial features seemed to be carved out of marble, and the lines were so perfect that they were not like words, especially his eyes, which were sharp and deep, although he was more than twenty steps away, Sales still couldn't help but feel a sense of oppression......

Could he be Lord Woolley?" Salis wondered in his heart, and raised his voice and shouted, "I am the Templar of the Temple, Sarestobia, and I have been ordered to escort the priests of Pompeii Bosses to Salt Marsh Town, and now the convoy is waiting four miles away, please immediately notify Lord Woolley Greenor." "

I'm Woolley Grindor!" a smile ...... the corners of Woolley's lips

......

"Oh, my Lord Woolley, tell me first, did you ask me by name?" asked Pompeii after hugging Woolley.

"Of course it's me. Woolley laughed and said, "Don't look at my salt marsh town now, in a year or two, there will be great changes here."

"Of course I believe that, I mean 'sea change,' and thank you very much. Pompey's gratitude was heartfelt, he knew very well what kind of existence the temple of Salt Marsh would be when it was completed, and being the priest in charge of the temple here was no less than the high priest in the temple of the city-state.

"You're so polite. Wu Lai waved his hand, "There are currently 4,000 townspeople in Salt Marsh Town, and there will be more people in the future, and the matter of spreading divine light will depend on you in the future.

"You're being polite. Pompeii smiled and said, "I have brought you all the craftsmen, equipment, parts, and manpower you want, so you can see how to settle down?"

Woolley smiled and pointed at Salas, "Tell me about it."

Pompey smiled and said, "Lord Woolley, this is the Silver Knight of the Knights of the Templar Order, Salace, Sarestobia. "

It turned out to be the Knight of Sares, hello. Woolley nodded, there is a Knights of the Guardian in the Assyrian Temple, although the members are all knights, but they are divided into four ranks: apprentice, bronze, silver, and gold, and the silver medal is second to the gold, but it can be regarded as the "middle leader" of the knights, you must know that there are only four gold medals in the entire knighthood, and there are only sixteen silver medals, considering that the ranking of the knights is calculated according to their personal combat strength, so the strength of this Salis in front of him should not be underestimated.

"Lord Woolley is so polite. Salis made a knightly salute and said with a smile, "Your Excellency doesn't know, although I am a knight of the Silver Order, but I am from a civilian background, and my current citizenship is given by His Excellency the Venerable High Priest, which is not comparable to you.

"It seems to me that even if you are a civilian, you are the same as me. Woolley smiled and said, he thought a lot more highly of this Salas, the civilian background can become a silver knight, which can show that he actually has a strength beyond the silver order, it is precisely because of the civilian background that he stopped the silver order, because according to the Assyrian custom, commoners who are knighted citizens have always been demoted and appointed, even the temple is no exception.

"Knight Zares isn't in a hurry to leave, might it be better to stay a little longer in my salt marsh town?" Woolley invited.

"Yes, the knight of Sareth doesn't need to be in such a hurry to go back to his life. "Although Pompey doesn't know why Woolley kept Salas, but what Woolley wants to do, he naturally helps unconditionally, not to mention that this time Woolley named and promoted his kindness, just for the relationship between the two in Seneca in the past, then I have to help talk, right

......?" I'll just stay a few more days. Salis smiled and nodded.

"Well, I don't have a view of my salt marsh town, but there is no shortage of good wine and food in my kitchen. Woolley laughed and said, ......

In the evening, Woolley set up a banquet for Pompeii and Sales, and not only did he draw a vote of officials to accompany him, but even the small nobles of the town were also present, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

But just as Woolly and the others were drinking and talking, a hundred horsemen bandits appeared near the stone mountain where the quarrying team was located......

Before dawn the next day, a large number of bandit cavalry appeared on the horse road ten miles away from the salt marsh town, and the middle-aged strong man with tendrils on his face led by him was the leader of this group of 800 bandits-Oshos.

In terms of numbers, Osius's bandit group barely surpassed the Raven Valley, but when it came to combat power, his bandit group called "Fox Wolf" was one of the best in the city-state of Lenwinton, enough to go head-to-head with an elite legion of equal numbers.

In the history of the Fox Wolf Bandits, Oshous led the team to fight with the First Legion four times, according to the number of casualties, the two sides fought a draw, and then, the First Legion never looked for trouble with the Fox Wolf Bandit Group again, because Oshous took the initiative to admit the instigation - the First Legion is outnumbered, and one of the dead in battle makes up for the other, which is basically equivalent to not being able to fight, but the Fox Wolf Bandit Group is a dead and wounded one will weaken a point of strength, and Oseus naturally knows that if he continues to fight, he will fight the old bottom.

Just like some other bandits, Oshous continued to live his life as a bandit after admitting it, and still had nothing to rob or anything, but he was much more nourishing than before, and occasionally sneaked into the city of Lunvington to drink and chat with a certain bigwig, of course, tribute was also indispensable, and sometimes he had to do some "private work" for these bigwigs, such as the attack on Salt Marsh Town this time.

From Oshous's point of view, he didn't like to come to Salt Marsh Town because there wasn't much oil or water to be fished out of it, but he would do two jobs related to Salt Marsh every year, such as robbing the salt convoy once or twice in the salt works, or rushing straight into the town to take a few lives.

The last time Oshous stormed the town of Salt Marsh was last year, when he was tasked with killing the archon, so one night he led his team into the town and easily slit the poor ghost's throat.

This time the task sounded simpler - rush into the town and set fire to as many houses as possible, especially the supply warehouses, and if you could burn the whole town, except for the ones that were particularly cared for, of course.

However, Oshous did not think that this task was easy at all, because he knew the current situation of Salt Marsh Town, which not only had a canal large enough to hold back the cavalry, but also six tall and sturdy arrow towers to guard the three gates, and most importantly, the town now had an unfathomable consul, and the crow bandits' defeat seemed to indicate that the new consul had a powerful private army at his disposal.

A fast horse galloped up, and as soon as he approached, the rider rolled his saddle and dismounted, and reported with a smile: "Chief, all the people have been arrested, and there is not a single one left, one hundred and seventy-one."

"Okay. Oshous smiled and nodded, he didn't want to lose his troops by attacking the city gates, and he was always willing to take shortcuts when he could save trouble.

"Light the torches!" Oshous shouted, and with a wave ......of his horsewhip pointed straight at the town of Salt Marsh, and now with the nearly two hundred men of the quarrying team as shields, how much trouble could it be to open the gates?

After a short while, a torch was lit one after another from the direction of Oshous's attack, six miles, three miles, and one mile away from the town of Salt Marsh, but it was only a short moment before they were extinguished one after another, and then the dense drumbeat in the town of salt marsh rumbled ......

When he heard the sound of drums, Wu Lai, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes softly and said to himself, "It's finally here." "
