Lord: Taken away from inheritance at the beginning.

Time passed quickly, and the two knight groups from Wushan Castle had arrived in Wushan Town and Brilliant City respectively.

The nobles, both big and small, who had learned from Marvin and Vitorino that Rulans had recovered, also sent out their own troops, one after another, clamoring to fight alongside the Marquis.

Luo Ning found this scene quite interesting.

When Wiggins issued the conscription order, many nobles were reluctant. Even when the Polante Bandits Group was conquered last year, many people just wanted to join in the fun.

Now, Lu Lan Si did not issue a conscription order, nor did he even say a word to the outside world, but this group of people volunteered to join the army to conquer Black Python City.

There are probably two main reasons.

One, of course, is that Rulans has recovered and the Thunder Marquis has returned in force, and they need to show their loyalty;

The second one is Black Python City, which is a large earldom. If Orson is stripped of his earldom and territory, his vassals will also lose their land and rights in theory.

In this way, other people will have the opportunity to fight for the large amount of vacant land.

For these two reasons, the nobles acted very actively.

Compared to the bustle of Wushan Town and Brilliant City, Black Python City seemed quite deserted.

During this more than half a month, not only did Orson not send anyone to negotiate, he didn't even send scouts to gather information, as if Wushan Fort's troops were not targeting Black Python City.

Roning couldn't understand this action for a moment, and could only guess whether the other party had something to rely on. So he rode on the dragon to see if Orson had any preparations.

The border earl's territory has large plains, which are rich in horses and are also the third largest grain-producing area in Wushan Territory.

Luo Ning could clearly see many people working in the fields, and also saw horse farms of all sizes.

These people didn't seem to realize that war was coming and didn't show any panic.

However, as Roning arrived above Black Python City, the scene he saw changed.

All the people in the city gathered around the castle, like devout believers venerating the gods they believed in.

Roning frowned, "Is Orson planning to drag all the civilians to the battlefield?"

The lord does have the right to drag civilians to the battlefield, but the role played by these untrained militiamen on the battlefield is very limited, especially this time Black Python City is facing the Knights of Wushan Castle, the magicians of the Magic Energy Chamber of Commerce, and the knight squads of various nobles.

In this situation, when so many militiamen were called in, Roning's first thought was that Orson was desperate and trying every possible means.

"Master, there is a smell here that I hate!"

Carlos sent a telepathic message, his tone full of disgust.

Roning was stunned. His dragon thought about eating and sleeping the most every day and rarely expressed his opinions on his affairs. This was the first time today.

"Your disgusting smell..."

Luo Ning immediately thought of the mysterious valley in Wubei Territory, and then his mind skipped a beat, "You mean, there is the same smell as Natalia here?"

"Yes, Master, this smell makes me sick. I don't want to stay here for a moment!"

The time of imprisonment was a nightmare that Carlos could never escape from. Whenever he thought about it, both his dragon body and heart felt extremely uncomfortable.

After getting a positive answer, Roning thought about Orson's recovery again.

Both Lulans and Miroslav felt that it was because the second-hand Soul-Devouring Surge had a duration that caused Orson to heal on his own.

But now, after Carlos's reminder, Roning felt that it might be someone like Natalia who could control the power of the witch soul who cured Orson.

"Wu Soul Clan, Wu Soul Power, could it be that the remnants of the Wu Soul Clan are hiding in the Black Python Castle?"

According to the memories of Redar, Elrond and McKen, the soul-devouring surge on Natalia and Rulans was a manifestation of the witch soul clan and the power of the witch soul.

It was the so-called Shadow Lord Elliot who annihilated Redal's Flame Expeditionary Force in the Flame Canyon.

But in that battle, Redal and others also eliminated the other side, and they died together.

If there really are people from the Wuhun Clan in the Black Python Castle, where did they come from?

"Come on, let's go down and take a look."

Although Carlos was reluctant, he folded his wings slightly and lowered his altitude. The light-bending magic also covered his entire body, and the group of civilians below could not find any trace of him at all.

As the altitude decreased, Roning could clearly see the expressions of the people surrounding the Black Python Castle. Their eyes were dull, as if they had lost their souls.

Even though there was no telling how many people there were, there was no communication between them. Apart from the hoarse sounds coming from their throats, there was no sound of talking.

Luo Ning's heart suddenly tightened, and his expression turned ugly: "Could this group of people all become the Wuhun Clan?"

He thought of Redal's introduction. Although the Wuhun Clan is exactly the same as the human race, their characteristic is that a strange dark energy surges through their bodies, and their mental power is strong enough to be sensed by a magician.

Roning quickly closed his eyes, and his mental power spread outward, covering the crowd below.

At this moment, his perspective was like the wind of exploration. He sensed that this group of people were all enveloped by a special dark energy, connected together like a pitch-black sea of ​​ink!

No wonder Carlos could sense the smell that he hated. With so many "Natalias", it would be difficult for him not to sense it.

Roning opened his eyes and looked at the many people surrounding the castle, a look of pity flashing in his eyes.

They are all civilians, but they have been transformed into something that is neither human nor ghost and has lost its self-identity. How cruel are the people behind it!

The reluctance in Luo Ning's eyes turned into anger, but then he realized something and became more flustered.

"Rydar said that Shadow Lord Elliot has the ability to transform ordinary people into the Witch Soul Clan. Could it be that there is a so-called Shadow Lord in Black Python City?"

As soon as this thought came to his mind, his expression changed drastically.

Shadow Lord, that is a legendary magician.

Back then, Redar and his fellow Sun Knights, plus several Silver Moon Knights, killed Elliot and her subordinates at the cost of their own death. If an existence of this level appeared in Black Python City, what would happen?

"The spiritual power of a legendary magician is extremely strong. If there really is such a being here, he should have discovered Carlos and me. There is no movement in the castle yet. I must be overthinking it."

Roning suppressed the reluctance, anger and panic that surged in his heart and regained a somewhat calm mind.

If there really was a legendary expert here, he and Carlos should have been exposed due to his super strong perception.

It hasn't been exposed yet, which means there are no legendary strongmen here.

However, although Roning's worries were somewhat unnecessary, it is undeniable that the situation in Black Python City was beyond his expectations.

He thought of the scene when he killed Natalia and others in Wubei Territory. The Wuhun Clan was like zombies and was not afraid of ordinary sword damage.

If one wants to kill them, one must either behead them and make them unable to move, or "inject" excessive magic power or fighting spirit into their bodies, triggering a surge of elemental power and witch soul power, thus killing them.

There are ways to win, but it is clear that the difficulty of the war has increased.

"No, I need to inform everyone about this matter in time."

Ronin signaled Carlos to take off, "Also, just in case, we need to get Ridar over here."

As the only Knight of the Sun, the presence of Redal can give Ronin a complete sense of security.

In the castle, Mephisto frowned slightly.

He seemed to sense a subtle energy fluctuation just now, but when he sensed it carefully, the fluctuation disappeared.

"Walk for what?"

He rubbed his eyebrows. He had been busy for more than twenty days in a row, and even he felt a little exhausted. Fortunately, everything was ready.

Mephisto smiled faintly, "Let me give the noble coalition of Wushan Territory a little shock!"
