It was already half an hour before the drinkers were gone. It's hard to think that this person can speak well, and when he heard that Carlo was interested in Alan's affairs, he started with Allen's-for-tat confrontation with Sir Glen at the dinner party, and talked about the fact that Alan led the army directly into Daniel's territory and captured Sunset City overnight. After that, he did not forget to add his various opinions about this knight, and the result was naturally sent away by the impatient Carlo.

Carlo seemed to be in good spirits, and ate several steaks in a row. It wasn't until the pots were stacked up that he had enough to eat. Patting his stomach, he cursed, "Damn, this is the most satisfying meal I've ever eaten since I hit the sea for that damn Naga." Even though their stuff was terrible, forget it. ”

On the same day, he encountered the Naga people's underwater palace, and the three or two ships on which Carlo was riding were sunk by the super kraken Mogronier raised by the Naga people. If you fall into the water, in addition to a few strong people, when you fall into the water, you will not be the opponent of the Naga people. What's more, almost all of the Naga warriors who came out of the palace under the sea were from royal families. The elite combat power of the royal family is not comparable to ordinary warriors, even with Carlo's boldness, he can only leave with the Bloodtooth Knight and three or five henchmen.

After escaping ashore, Carlo took the Ark Harbor and made it clear that he wanted to take out his anger on Allen. According to Carlo's logic, the reason why he encountered such an unfortunate thing was all due to Alan, and now not only did he not catch the Naga, but even the Breaking Wave also sank. If he didn't get Alan back, he really couldn't think of how to explain it to his father.

Despite the Bloodfang Knight's objections, Carlo finally arrived at Ark Harbor.

Now that he knew where Eren was going, Carlo began to figure it out. The bloodtooth knight next to him reminded: "Young master, since the other party is with the army, it is difficult for us to do anything. In my opinion, it's better to go back to Orca Harbor first and then make plans. This defeat is not the responsibility of the young master, and Lord Eric will not blame you. ”

"Shut up!" Carlo glared at the knight angrily and said, "If you don't get this Eren back, my father won't be able to explain to the people above, understand?" This is not only for me to breathe a sigh of relief, but also for my father. ”

"If that's the case, we should go back and organize an army to come before we have a chance of winning."

"Go back. Do you know how much time it takes to go back and forth? In case that Alan has already left Ark Harbor by then, how can I settle accounts with him? Carlo snorted coldly, "And didn't you listen to it just now?" Oban, the stupid earl, only gave that miscellaneous soldier named Allen, do you think a cannon fodder army can scare me? ”

The Bloodtooth Knight made his last effort and said, "Young Master, this is not a wise choice after all. ”

"Really? I think I can take this opportunity to give these rural nobles a slap in the face, so that they know that although the power of Orca Harbor cannot cover such a far place, it is not something they can afford to offend! Carlo slapped the table and said categorically.

Seeing that he was already determined to do this, the Bloodfang Knight could only sigh in his heart, but stopped continuing to advise. Despite their special position under the influence of Count Eric, they do not have to be used only as tools in battle as other knights. However, now that he has reached this point, he has done his duty. If you interfere with Carlo's decision, you will cross the wireless line of being a subordinate.

It was also dusk, but Alan didn't bother to eat dinner. He had just returned from the barracks, and after improvised the recruitment of three hundred strong recruits, the barracks in Sunset City were a little more crowded. In the old days, training recruits could have been left to Roy or Bloy, but now that neither of them is around, Allen can only serve as half an instructor.

After all, among the few people around him, Belmode is not the material to lead troops into battle, and Regis is more inclined to the strength of personal force, although both of them have coached Darkblade. But it's a special unit, which is very different from training a regular army. Therefore, Alan can only go on his own, and where he can't take care of it, he will be replaced by the original officers of Sunset City.

The training of recruits cannot be carried out in a short time, and if the regular procedure is followed, they need at least three months of regular training. Now Eren didn't have that much time to train the soldiers, so Eren reduced his sword skills to a few simple but ruthless attacks and taught them to the soldiers. The officers were then asked to have the soldiers practice the movements over and over again until their bodies remembered the movements.

Sunset City may not be wealthy, but it has a few iron mines and some good weapons in its arsenal. For example, a batch of short-handled hand axes, which were extracted by Eren and assigned to the Sangar warriors. Each Mountain King warrior was given five of these hand axes, and Alan asked Belmode to teach them how to throw them. Belmode was helpless about this, he himself was good at throwing knives, which was very different from throwing axes.

However, he did not refuse Alan's request, and after a day of holding a few hand axes himself, Belmode managed to figure out a few throwing gestures and taught them to the warriors of the Mountain King. After practice, the Sanno warrior was able to throw the hand axe in a straight line with maximum strength and speed. At a distance of twenty meters, the hand axe is able to penetrate standard armor.

Once used on a large scale, the power is naturally extraordinary. In this way, the Mountain King Warrior also has the advantage of partial long-range suppression. It's just that there aren't many Mountain King warriors brought by Allen, and people with extraordinarily strong physiques like them can't be recruited lightly, so the Mountain King's axe rain tactics can only play a role in partial suppression.

Back at the City Lord's Mansion, Belmode handed over a piece of information to Allen. The information was collected by Darkblade, and after receiving Sunset City, Darkblade was sent out by Allen. They were responsible for penetrating 100 kilometers into the territory and monitoring the movements of the Castle of Dawn. Now that Daniel's army is pinned down by Oban, if the Viscount wants to attack Sunset City, then he can use two decent armies of Castle Dawn or Bauhinia.

Among them, Castle of Dawn is the closest to Sunset City, and it can be reached in three days from the army by a hundred kilometers. Therefore, Eren focused on monitoring the dynamics of Dawning Castle, and Darkblade lived up to his trust, and soon information came back.

Looking at the information on the intelligence, Alan said in a deep voice: "We will have a battle soon. ”

Belmode was not surprised at all, but Sir Tomon next to him frowned, and the last thing he liked to see had happened. Although it was not a unicorn legion, in the face of the army of Dawning Castle, Thomen also felt a little shameless.

"Let the people below get ready, this time it's not Castle of Dawn, but also the army of Baron Bauhinia Oulu." Putting down the information, Alan said.

"If they were combined, there would be at least 2,000 people...... Even if we add new recruits, numbers are still a disadvantage. Tomon said with a sad face.

"It's not impossible if it's just the number of people." Alan looked at the baron and said, "I've read the information about Sunset City before, and Sunset City is located in the Valley of the Clouds, and there are still hundreds of coolies. If you count them, we're not much worse than those two coalition forces. ”

Tomen was surprised: "Lord Allen is going to use coolies as well, this, this is a bit of a reckless force." ”

Alan laughed and said, "Don't worry, Sir Tomen." I'm not so dizzy that I think a few hundred coolies can fight against a regular army. I just need them to make a lot of people and make a show. As for the rest, I have other plans. ”

"In this case, you should go to the Valley of the Clouds at once and bring the coolies here. Sue them that as long as they fight for me, they will be free. ”

"Freedom ......," Tomon said with a wry smile, "My lord, if there are no coolies, how can we maintain the work of the mine." ”

"The mine work is also a matter of the future, first of all, we have to get through this hurdle. Believe me, Sir Tomen, this is our first problem. Get through it, and it'll be easy in the future. As for the mines, when the battle is over, coolies can be bought again. If you don't work anymore, if you give the job to the people and raise the wages appropriately, I think some people will be happy to do it. Of course, our earnings have to be relatively low. ”

Alan waved his hand and said, "Okay, you just do what I say, and I'll take care of the rest." ”

Thormen is not good at fighting, and when Alan says this, he can only do it. After Tomen left, Belmode was a little geared up: "Boss, according to your style, it is impossible to let the enemy army swagger to our city." ”

"And, of course, to Sunset City. A tired army is easier to deal with than an army with high ambitions, right? Alan smiled faintly and said, "Go and call Regis and them, and then transfer a unit from us and Sunset City, it's time to hide and seek." ”

"Sounds interesting." Belmode laughed.

A makeshift camp was set up outside Castle of Dawn, and the many flags planted on the camp did not belong to Liftus. It was Bauhinia's army, which Oulu had brought with him, an army of eight hundred men consisting mainly of cavalry and infantry, a common configuration in the private armies of the nobility. But Oulu also had an extra group of fifty or so hoplites, and those tin cans were a nightmare for the light cavalry. Their thick plate armor is resistant to swords and fire. The attack of the spear, and carrying a dragon lance that can be combined, is a sharp weapon against the cavalry.

Sir Oulu's hoplites were originally modeled after Daniel's unicorn knights, but with Oulu's financial resources, he couldn't afford to raise a heavy cavalry. Therefore, the next best thing to do is to arm a hoplite. These infantry usually have a strength of about seven levels, and they are also rare elite troops in the Jazz's army. In the previous attack on Storm City, Oulu was reluctant to take out this force, but this time he brought it, which shows that he has invested a lot of money. R1058
