Transcendent Noble

Old Ham walked out of the shed. As soon as he opened the door, a dozen skinny dogs immediately gathered around the owner, wagging their tails affectionately. Reaching out and touching the dog's head, he checked his equipment again, and the old Hamm began his day's work.

Five months ago, Old Hamm and Boots were ordered by Victor to take more than 400 people and traveled for more than 50 days, stationed in the northern territory of the Randal Family family, and established a settlement point.

Victor's territory in the north is only 300 square kilometers. The cavalry of the York family only patrols the northern territory once a year, merely declaring sovereignty. There are no castles, no villages, and no gathering places for free people. There are only wild beasts and monsters. It is the real Barbarian Desolate Land.

Before setting off, Old Ham and Boots were mentally prepared to work hard, but Victor’s support was so great that they didn’t expect.

Victor recruited more than 300 followers, 10 guards, 60 alchemy militias and 10 alchemy auxiliaries. Among these followers, there are many sturdy mountain people who are good at shooting. Victor equips each young man with sophisticated vine leather armor, bows and arrows, lance and other weapons. With these equipment, more than 200 young hunters can be armed at any time, plus guards and alchemy militias, this is a powerful army.

Victor prepared forty carts of supplies for this migration and gave Boots 3000 Kinsoul. When the convoy passed Black Castle Town, Booth bought a large number of cows and goats as a food source for the settlement. Apart from this, every 6 months, Victor will send a convoy to supply the settlements.

These are only on the surface support. Victor secretly built two small cottages in the mountains and forests of the Northern Territory, with 50 alchemy militias, 10 alchemy assistants, 20 war mastiffs and 80 alchemy Golden Crow crows.

Victor has invested huge manpower, material resources and financial resources in the Northern Territory. If all these inputs are converted into currency, it is equivalent to 200,000 gold sols.

In the eyes of other lords, the 300-square-kilometer northern territory is worthless. It is absolutely crazy to spend a lot of money here. But this territory has important strategic significance for Victor.

The Northern Territory is at the northernmost tip of Centaur Hills. Going further north is the Dodo Kingdom’s sphere of influence. Victor plans to build a small town here. The name has already been decided, and it is called Raven Town. It will be the starting point for the Freemen Business Group to go north, and its role is similar to Songlin Town.

In addition, the Northern Territory is close to the mountain range on the west side of Centaur Hills, in the vicinity of the mountain forests to build outposts and source collection points, which can not only monitor the movement of the Ant-Man army, but also mine forest resources. And Raven Town can be used as a resource storage, processing and transshipment center. Therefore, Raven Town is a border town that integrates trade, military, and resource distribution functions.

In Victor's plan, the construction of Raven Town can wait until three years later. But Solon had already begun to build his territory, and Victor had to open up the northern territory in advance to prevent the territory from being invaded by Solon's men. Victor arranged for Butz to be the village head, and the old Hamm to be the Captain of the militia. The requirements for them were simple: to gain a foothold in the north.

Apparently Boots and Old Ham did a good job.

Before entering the northern border, Old Hamm thought he would fight a monster first, but found that there was no monster here. That's because the alchemy creatures cleared this area in advance, and 6 alchemy war mastiffs formed a wolf pack, occupying a large area outside the land, forming a barrier.

Without the intrusion of monsters, Boots built a village covering an area of ​​60,000 square meters in only three months. The village's trenches, iron oak fences, and arrow towers are all available, enough to withstand the invasion of wild beasts and monsters.

The village was built. After discussing with the old Hamm, Booth and Old Ham decided to stock cattle and sheep, free up manpower to hunt wild boars, collect wild vegetables and sweet potatoes, and it took another month to remove The warehouse is full. Even if the supply convoy does not come, more than 400 people can survive the water season safely.

Old Hamm is in charge of the security of the territory. He formed 3 militia squad, each squad consists of 3 to 4 guards, 7 alchemy militia and 10 mountain hunters. These militia squads are responsible for patrolling the border, guarding and guarding the villages. The old Hamm will join different militia squad everyday all, and today he will be responsible for the guard squad to protect the villagers.

Old Hamm walked to the entrance of the village with the militia squad and just happened to ran into Boots. Behind Boots, Grandiose followed a large group of people, carrying shovels and hoes, and also brought out 20 ox carts.

"What are you going to do today?" Old Hamm asked curiously.

"I am going to dig a stream reservoir." Boots said with a smile.

"With more than 200 people, I still want to dig a stream and reservoir? The next heavy rain will have to stop work! I think it's alright. How about letting the big guy practice archery? How about catching wild boars? Okay."

"Why can't I dig it? If there are few people, I will dig a smaller one! I am going to dig a 20-acre reservoir. After a few rains, we won't have to go to the mountains to fetch water anymore. "Boots stared.

"20 acres? Is that a cistern?" Old Hamm unceremoniously broke through Boots.

Boots's face blushed, and he yelled, "The cistern is the cistern. At least you can grow vegetables."

"What do you do when you grow vegetables? Just herding sheep. Now." Old Hamm twitched his lips disapprovingly.

Just as Captain and the head of the farmer village were arguing with each other about herding sheep or growing vegetables, an alchemist militia ran over and said, "Hamm Captain, a team of people are coming to us!"

"What's the specific situation?" Old Hamm asked seriously.

"From the information sent by Chen Falcon, there are 27 people coming from the northeast, 40 kilometers away from the village. It is very likely that they are Knight squad, and they are coming towards us." The alchemy militia replied. .

Old Ham and Boots looked at each other in amazement, and the villagers also became agitated. Victor once told them that the biggest threat in the Northern Territory is not the monster and wild beast, but the rival family Knight. Today, Victor's worries have occurred after all.

"Are you sure it's Knight?" Old Ham pulled the alchemy militia aside and asked in a low voice. He didn't believe that Chen Falcon had the ability to recognize Knight.

Of course, Chen Falcon can't distinguish the difference between Knight and ordinary person, but this team ignores the intimidation of the alchemy war mastiff and directly passes through the war mastiff's territory. It must be the Knight squad. Instead of hunting down the alchemy war mastiff that looked like a ferocious wolf, they did not go back the same way, but continued to advance, and their purpose was self-evident.

The alchemy militia will not explain the specific reason to the old Hamm, it is just nodded.

Old Hamm turned around and left without asking. These powerful soldiers have many secret methods, but they are trustworthy, and that is enough.

"According to the rules. I will take people out to intercept. You organize the villagers and prepare to retreat. If we fail to stop, you immediately enter the mountain. I will leave you with 10 elite militiamen and 7 guards. They know that the cottage built by the adults is there." Old Ham said to Boots.

According to the current situation, Victor designed a set of plans. Old Hamm led the alchemy militia to annihilate the enemy family's Knight squad in the wild, while Boots led the villagers to prepare for refuge in the mountains. The fence of the village can't stop Knight's impact. Intercepting Knight squad in the wild can instead provide the villagers with time to escape, but the elite soldiers and old Ham who went into battle might be bode ill rather than well.

Thinking of this, Boots couldn't bear it. He said to Old Hamm: "The territory of Viscount Solon is in the east. These people are coming from the northeast. They may not be the Knights of the Solon family!"

"Don't put your life in the hands of strangers. There are no priests in the village. No matter they are Knights of that family, no one will know if they kill us." Old Ham dumb He said in a voice: "As long as they are willing to turn their heads, then it's okay. If they don't listen, I won't let the Randal Family be ashamed!"

"That's right! You guys... Be careful," Boots said lightly.

The alarm bell was sounded, and the unknown enemy is less than 40 kilometers away. If you press the marching speed of the Knight squad, it can appear at the entrance of the village for up to 3 hours. time is limited.

The villagers moved quickly. The young man put on the thick vine leather armor, picked up the lance hard bow, and the women and children packed up the supplies that could be taken away. Old Hamm stepped on the horse, and together with 3 guards and 50 alchemy militiamen, whizzed out from the village gate.

More than an hour later, Old Hamm finally saw the team.

These twenty-odd cavalrymen are well equipped and capable of action. The leading cavalry wears exquisite armor, and there are 5 cavalry in scales beside him. Old Hamm's heart sank. One Knight, five trainee Knights, and 21 elite cavalrymen. This is indeed a standard Knight squad.

"This is the territory of the Randal Family. We are the guards of Viscount Randal. Lord Knight on the opposite side, please explain why!" Old Ham shouted.

Knight ignored Old Ham, he shouted to the left and right: "Dismount! Raise your shield! Kill these bandits!"

"Shoot!" Old Ham roared in response : "Destroy them!"

The battle broke out less than ten breaths before the two sides contacted each other.

Two Concealed Ox militiamen rushed towards Knight. The charge distance of more than ten meters made their power climb to Peak. Two heavy long swords made of iron essence, with imposing manner. Slashed straight down.

"Huh."

Knight was a little surprised. He just didn't find an evenly matched opponent among the enemies, and the two warriors did not have coordinated physical characteristics, but showed But his strength is enough to rival him. This sign shows that they are all ferocious warriors. The fierce warrior is far stronger than the ordinary person, but it is not Knight's opponent. Knight was just strange that he encountered two violent warriors at once.

Faced with two violent warriors, Knight was not disturbed. The adamantine long sword is changed to block, the sword body is attached to the side of the long blade, and the opponent's weapon is drawn back. When the body turns, slide forward, the shield of the left hand is lifted up, and it is just resting on the other one. On the long handle of the long sword, power burst out suddenly, and the long sword was swung away. In an instant, Knight resolved the opponent's attack and cut into the inner circle.

Knight used a standard stab, and the sharp adamantine long sword pierced the fierce warrior's chest. He was about to pull out the long sword to kill another fierce warrior, but he saw a pair of indifferent eyes. The fierce warrior ignored the long sword through his chest, stepped forward, and clamped Knight's arm tightly.

The stagnation at this moment determines the fate of Knight. In the bushes on the hillside, a stream of light, iron essence made of crossbow bolts was shot, penetrated through Knight's side shoulders, carrying a bloodbath, and then pierced through his armpits.

"Military heavy crossbow! Randal Family's Knight is shooting a dark arrow! Despicable!"

This idea just came up in Knight's mind, and the iron essence of another fierce warrior grew. The knife came over as a chest. The blade directly pierced the breastplate, pierced into the chest and abdomen, and the huge force lifted Knight into the air.

"Ah!"

Knight let out a wild roar, the Battle Qi swiftly turned, kicking away the ferocious warrior wrapped around his body, and the long sword was pulled out of his chest. It turned into an unrolled bolt of white silk and chopped off the head of another fierce warrior, and blood sprayed from the neck like a fountain. Then, another crossbow pierced into Knight's head.

"Despicable..."

Knight's consciousness gradually fell into darkness, and he didn't understand until he died, what was he facing?

The Thorium Crossbow can penetrate the Ant-Man leader with 30 points of physique, but it cannot effectively kill Knight. A penetrating wound has little effect on Knight. Unless he is shot in the heart and head, Knight will quickly leave the battlefield with crossbow bolts, and it won't take long for them to recover completely. Only Victor or Wind Element Great Knight can shoot Knight's vitals face to face.

The Concealed Ox militia will not be killed by Knight as soon as they come in contact. In fact, the Concealed Ox militia wearing Thorium Ant-Man armor can completely entangle Knight. The Concealed Ox militia sacrificed themselves deliberately to create opportunities for the monkey militia. If Knight had seen the monkey militia holding a heavy crossbow, the situation would be different.

Before the battle, the Golden Crow had exposed the whereabouts of the Knight squad. This was an ambush. Four monkey militiamen sneaked into the bush in advance, and they shot Knight as if they had shot a ferocious bear.

Old Hamm was a little excited, more sad. This battle proved that Knight was not invincible, but the price was the sacrifice of two companions. Old Hamm has experienced many battles and witnessed many sacrifices, but the meaning is completely different. In the past, sacrifices were made to allow more people to escape, but this time sacrifice was made for victory.

The battle was over, the enemy was wiped out, and only one person was captured. On the old Hamm side, 2 people were wounded and 3 people were killed.

Old Ham walked to the prisoner's side. This was a trainee Knight, who was being firmly pressed to the ground by several militiamen. If it weren't for capturing him alive, the other monkey militia wouldn't be killed.

"I want to be treated in line with my identity." Trainee Knight struggled.

"Where is your identity? Why do you want to attack us?"

"I am the trainee Knight of the Erickson family. On the order of the Lord Duke, the free people here are cleared and settled. Point."

Old Ham was taken aback. Duke Eriksson was the lord of the Dodo kingdom in the north, and his sphere of influence bordered the northern territory. However, Victor has already given notes to the surrounding lords through the church. Duke Eriksson is impossible without knowing that they are villagers of the Randal Family.

"Why did Duke Erickson attack our Randal Family's territory?"

"I don't know." Trainee Knight shook his head.

Old Hamm sighed, ordered: "You can't stay alive, kill!" The alchemist militia killed the trainee Knight without the slightest hesitation.

"Clean up the battlefield, bury the corpses and notify the village chief to move cattle, sheep, women and children to the mountains to prevent Duke Erickson’s revenge! Use the dust falcon to report the situation to the adults."
