my fortress

Chapter 25 Locke
Goodoos!

Hearing the servant's words, Yifei was a little puzzled. He suddenly forgot who Gudeos was, but a clear figure suddenly appeared in his mind, and he immediately knew who it was, so he hurriedly asked the servant to call him over .

"Gudeos pays homage to your lord!"

"Get up, Gudeos, how are you doing with the things I told you to go out?" Yifei asked a little excitedly, the person who sent out to make contact came back, wouldn't that mean that the way of getting money was also opened up.

"My lord, all the things you ordered have been done. I have already contacted several trading companies in Yefeng City, which is the closest to the territory. They are very interested in the products of the territory."

"Then are they here?" Hearing what Gudeos said, Yifei asked hastily.

"My lord, they are a little worried about the safety along the way, so they haven't sent anyone over yet!"

"Well, it's okay, what about the other thing?"

"My lord, the rescue letter has been delivered to Lord Earl Locke, the lord of Leaf Maple City. Now the reinforcements led by the Earl have arrived and are now outside the territory," Gudeos said respectfully.

Earl, damn it, that's a big shot.After hearing Gudeos's answer, Yifei immediately stood up and said, "Tom, tell Robbie to open the city gate, and everyone will follow me to welcome the Earl!"

He compared it in his mind, according to the ranks of titles in this world: Archduke, Prince, Duke, Earl, Viscount, Baron, Knight, Quasi-Knight, an Earl is at least a mayor, and his knight and rank are at best a village head.

Moreover, this earl is still the boss directly in charge of his area, so he must treat him well and try to hug his thigh, so that he can live a little easier in this world.

So he hurriedly took out the armor and sword in the ring and equipped them, and led the soldiers under his command down the fortress and walked towards the city gate. (Hey, make a good first impression)

"Open the city gate!"

"Horror!"

"woo woo woo woo."

Yifei took Robbie, Tom and others to the outside of the city, while Gudeos followed his orders to lead the way with Earl Locke.

Is this still the orc in my memory?

At the moment Madein and the others self-mutilated and pretended to be dead, a group of knights suddenly appeared on the hillside on the other side of the castle. Among them was a human race wearing exquisite chain armor and a cloak embroidered with violet flowers. The knight stood on the hillside and watched this scene dumbfounded.

As a silver knight, Locke had spent many years in the military and had dealt with those orcs who were not afraid of death. But this was the first time he saw orcs pretending to be dead, and it was a group of orc warriors pretending to be dead.

He was just surprised by such a thing, after all, there are some people who are greedy for life and afraid of death in any race.

But the strength displayed by the small castle in front of him surprised him.The small castle in front of him, at best a small town with a population of no more than 1000, has such a powerful strength that it can repel the attack of thousands of orcs by itself.

Those warriors wrapped in iron armor all had the strength of a silver warrior, and the warrior with a strange battle flag on his body made him feel a little palpitating even as a silver knight.

Is it a golden warrior?Looking at the armed sergeants in the distance, Locke thought in his heart that anyone who could make him feel palpitations even with the strength of the Silver Knight must be stronger than him.

And the fighters whose strength can surpass the Silver Knights are at least the Golden Warriors!Unexpectedly, there are gold-level masters in this small territory!
"Gudeos, who is that person?" He asked curiously.

Hearing his words, a cavalry stepped out beside him. His dress was different from other cavalry wearing mail armor. He was only wearing a simple pair of leather armor.

"My lord, he is Officer Robbie!"

"Security officer? Isn't it just an ordinary guard captain? A soldier with a gold rank is actually just a guard captain?" After knowing the identity of the armed sergeant, Locke was very surprised.

"My lord, you must have misunderstood!" Gudeos had to explain Locke's misunderstanding, and he said with a wry smile: "In our establishment, the security officer is the quasi-centurion."

After hearing what Gudeos said, Locke felt a little embarrassed, and immediately knew that he had misunderstood, but he still felt a little aggrieved for the golden warrior in the distance.

A golden warrior should be a quasi-centurion, which is too much talent. You must know that in the army of the empire, a golden warrior can be qualified as the commander of an ordinary legion.

But after a while, he was relieved. After all, the lord in the distance was just a knight title. How could there be so many soldiers under his command? It would be nice to have more than 100 regular soldiers!

"My lord, please wait a moment, I will report to the lord first!" Gudeos said suddenly.

"Go!" Locke said with a smile, not minding waiting outside the city at all.

"Da da da..." A Qingqi rushed from the hillside towards the castle in the distance.

Locke looked at the back of Qingqi going away, and couldn't help but fell into thought.

The golden warrior, the silver swordsman, the bronze archer, the high-level knight, and the young lord whose strength is unknown, all of which made Locke feel a little puzzled. This little knight lord is quite good.

Although Locke was a little surprised, he was relieved after a while, which family has no background, especially these lords located near the border.

Years of wars with the orc empire and the barbarian tribes have eliminated a large number of weak families near the border, and all those left are some relatively powerful families.

What's more, the wild wolf family in front of us was once considered a big family in Maple Leaf Province, but it has declined in recent generations, which led to the title being downgraded to knights.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little curious about the young lord in the castle. He is quite capable, so maybe he can try to recruit him.

As the Earl of the Empire, Locke came to Maple Leaf Province from the imperial capital to serve as the city lord of Maple Leaf City for only three months. He didn't know much about the power of the various families in Maple Leaf Province, so he easily approved of Yifei's At this time, because of his strength, he came up with the idea of ​​recruiting him to his subordinates.

Wouldn't it be more convenient for him to control Yefeng City with the help of a local noble with good strength, not to mention that this local noble has just made a great contribution.

Thinking of this, he suddenly had an idea in his heart that he must draw this young knight into his camp.

At this time, he heard a loud horn sound from the distant castle. He looked up and found that the gate of the distant castle had been opened, and the young knight lord had appeared at the gate of the city with his subordinates. .

On the other side, Gudeos, who had left, was also galloping towards this side on a fast horse. A few minutes later, Gudeos appeared in front of him again, jumped off the horse and said respectfully.

"My lord, the lord has heard that the reinforcements led by the lord have arrived, and I am here to lead the way!"

This is the army!Yifei, who was standing at the gate of the city, ready to welcome Locke, couldn't help sighing as he watched the knights slowly approaching from a distance.

"Robby, how's their fighting strength?" Looking at the knights approaching from a distance, Yifei asked Robbie who was beside him.

"Very strong!" Robbie said very succinctly.

strong?After hearing Robbie's words, Yifei was stunned for a moment, a little disbelieving, and asked Tom who was beside him: "Tom, what do you think?"

"My lord, Sergeant Robbie is right, they are indeed strong!" Tom said with a wry smile.

No!After hearing Tom's words, Yifei couldn't help being a little surprised. The two generals under his command said they were very strong. It seemed that the cavalry in the distance were indeed very strong.

It seems that this world is not simple. Even if you have a golden finger, you may not be able to call the wind and rain at will, so it's better to keep a low profile!
Thinking of this, Yifei's smile became even brighter, and he made up his mind in his heart that he must hug his thigh, and even if he couldn't, he still had to establish a good relationship.

In fact, how did he know that the cavalry he saw were all from the Thorn Legion, and the Thorn Legion belonged to the Royal Guards in the Thorn Empire, and the knights who could enter the Thorn Legion were the least powerful Bronze Knights. For a while, its strength is ranked among the top 10, of course its strength is amazing!
