Lord: Start with the Pioneer Knight

With common interests, the meeting went very smoothly. According to the share ratio, each party needs to provide an equal army.

The longer the time drags on, the greater the variables.

The four agreed to gather at the border of Cleveland Barony in five days, join forces, attack the territory of the pioneer knights, and occupy this rich iron mine.

These days, Weilin is actively preparing for war.

On the morning of July 23, a well-equipped army entered the Praying Star Lake from the south.

After Weilin got the news, he took people to greet his cousin.

"Weilin, I'm here."

A handsome knight came towards him, it was his cousin Brian.

"Cousin, welcome to you."

The knights of both sides saluted the other lords and followed the two into the Praying Star Lake.

"In less than three months, this area has been built in a good shape, much better than your cousin." Brian visited the territory and recalled the scene at the beginning of his pioneering, and was very emotional.

"Cousin, you are too kind. Thanks to the "assistance" of Sir Brandon next door, I have enough manpower to carry out the next plan." Weilin responded with a smile.

After talking all the way, they came to a wide grassland, where rich food and drinks were laid out, and many knights began to attend the banquet.

During the banquet, Weilin introduced the surrounding situation to his cousin while telling his plan.

"Weilin, I don't think it's necessary to go through so much trouble. Your cousin brought fifty bronze knights, two hundred knight attendants, and six hundred elite warriors this time. Just set up a posture and confront the opponent from the front to defeat him."

Brian rubbed his swollen head, waved his hand to interrupt Weilin who was talking endlessly, and told him the simplest and crudest plan.

"Cousin, if you do this, it will cause a lot of casualties. After all, the opponent is not a vegetarian. Using some strategies appropriately will reduce our casualties and gain greater benefits." Weilin looked at Brian speechlessly and advised.

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you." Brian waved his hand and drank a glass of wine as he looked at Weilin who was about to continue.

"Forget it, cousin, let your guardian knight communicate with me."

Weilin covered his face and looked at this drunkard. He really didn't know how his cousin could conquer a territory twice as large as that of Cleveland Barony in just six years and manage it in an orderly manner.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the banquet ended, and many drunk knights fell to the ground and fell asleep.

As a last resort, Weilin could only ask Orlando to bring some blankets to cover these people.

"Lord Weilin, I am the guardian knight and CEO of the lord, you can call me Adrian." A well-dressed young man appeared in front of Weilin.

Feeling the fluctuations on him, Weilin said in surprise: "Magic Knight?"

"My lord has a good eye." The young man responded politely and elegantly.

Now, Weilin understands why the Ridge Territory is managed so well, and the reason may be due to this person.

Magic knights are knights who use magic power. They have the advantages of both magicians and knights. They are powerful and intelligent, which is their synonym.

Then, Weilin took Adrian to a wooden house, spread out a map, and began to explain his plan.

"In this battle, we will face the attack of four territories. I estimate the size of the enemy army to be 3,000 people, of which 60% will be serfs, which means that we are facing only 1,200 regular troops."

"Qixing Lake can dispatch 300 infantry and 15 bronze knights to be placed in front to attract the attention of the enemy."

"As for you, the other party does not know your existence in advance, so you can ambush in the side area, wait for my signal, attack from the side and rear, raid the other party's command center, and defeat their core strength."

After hearing this, Adrian asked in confusion: "Lord Weilin, please forgive me for offending you, can your 300 people withstand the frontal attack of 3,000 people on the other side?"

"You don't need to worry about this, I have my own way to deal with it." Weilin smiled mysteriously and said to Adrian.

This action aroused the curiosity of the magic knight, who wanted to know how the other party could stop 3,000 people with only 300 people.

After entering the Praying Star Lake, he had already found out that there was no silver knight here.

"Knock, knock, knock"

Hearing the knock on the door, Weilin said, "Come in."

Orlando pushed open the door and reported, "My lord, we caught six escaped serfs, all of whom were slaves traded back a week ago."

"Demoted to third-class slaves, and sent to the salt mine after the war is over."

"Yes."

After Orlando left, Adrian naturally understood that these people should be spies planted by the other party in the Praying Star Lake. When they learned that a strange army had entered, they could not wait to escape and go back to report.

However, in comparison, he was very interested in this young knight.

At the age of only thirteen, he was already a bronze mid-level knight, and his talent was amazing.

...

On July 25, the sun was shining.

The four lords and their subordinates gathered at the border of the Cleveland Barony.

Sixty bronze knights, three hundred knight attendants, one thousand warriors, and three thousand serfs were the main force of this expedition.

Violet, Caisley, and Barry were full of energy, as if they had seen the dawn of victory.

They didn't believe that a pioneer knight who had just come out could resist such a powerful force.

But Brandon felt something was wrong. None of the spies arranged in the slave team came back, which made him feel uneasy.

"This time, I must kill that young man and avenge Brandon by the way, hahaha." Violet looked at Brandon proudly and said it in front of everyone without hesitation.

Violet's subordinates raised their weapons one after another, looking at Brandon's army provocatively, showing off their bravery.

"My lord, they..." A knight was very angry and pointed at Violet and said to Brandon.

"Forget it, I feel something is wrong, let our people slow down."

Brandon was not angry about Violet's tricks, and turned to give orders to the knights.

He had long passed the age of blood and vigor, how could he be provoked like this and run to be cannon fodder.

Seeing this scene, Violet was tactful and did not continue, and scolded his men to shut up.

"Let's go."

Under the order of the temporary commander-in-chief Violet, the large army began to move forward, heading towards the camp where the mithril mine was located.

According to the agreement, Violet's troops were in the front, followed by the troops of Leslie and Barry, and Brandon's troops were at the end, with only about 500 people in total.

Due to the heavy losses in the last battle, he did not have enough money and equipment to rebuild the troops in a short time.
