The Little Banshee Raphael is home with a full load today.

She led a group of harpies across the Borderlands and the Silvermoon River, raiding three gold coin hideouts in Bankaz based on Lana's map.

Well, this is where Lana learned from the third prince of Dria before she left.

Bankaz has just completed a regime change and is in a state of chaos. That's why Lana specifically told her to start here!

In order to be able to take some more gold coins with him, Raphael even scraped together ten storage rings in the territory.

Although these rings don't have a lot of storage space, they can still save a lot of stamina when they are filled with gold coins.

The banshees, who did not have storage rings, tied the gold coins in several large bags.

Although they were very tired from flying this time, their hearts were indeed extremely happy. Of course, in the process, it is inevitable that gold coins will be spilled from the air, and I don't know which lucky guy will be smashed.

According to Lana's topographical instructions, after plundering the Emerald City, they will march all the way to the southwest to the capital of the former second prince for a second round of plunder.

After that, there are the things that the three princes did not take with them when they left. Of course, gold coins are not included in it. But some ornaments, calligraphy and paintings can't be missed.

After striking at the three marked locations, Lana instructed the banshees to head west into the Mist Lands, take a break in the Forest of Disillusionment, and from there head south over the Silvermoon River and back to the Magic Forest.

Her purpose had been accomplished, and the suspicious Serpent Prince had thought of the Silver Lion Duke.

It seems that the number one female fan of the silver lion has changed her face really quickly, and the front foot said that she wanted to give birth to someone, and the back foot secretly shaded the other party.

Of course, Sieg was still kept in the dark, and he didn't know that he had invisibly offended the Viper Family, the Bear Family, and the three forces of the New Saint King.

However, this doesn't seem to be a problem for Sieg, as he and the Grizzlies already have friction with each other. And with Sig's tactical goals, it was only a matter of time before he attacked the Bear family and the Viper family. His goal is to unify the Lane Continent and then reign over the Six Kings Continent!

"Hahaha~ This time we got so many gold coins back, I wonder if Klose will praise me?"

Raphael thought proudly in her heart, but she felt a pain in her heart when she saw the dead reservoir swimsuit wrapped around her body that was wrapped in rags.

I wonder if the little lord will give him a new one? Now that I'm used to wearing this dress, I don't want to change it even if it is torn.

While Raphael was causing a lot of trouble for the alliance trio, Olivia's mobile demon cavalry had already stepped into the Duke of Pea's territory south of the Demon Grove.

Duke Peya was the younger brother of Holger III, Pejaholg.

It's just that this prince has no ambitions, so he likes to nest in his own one-third of an acre and enjoy the life of the emperor of the soil.

Although his land is not particularly fertile, the sparrows are small and have all kinds of organs. Stable water sources, mines with decent reserves, and castles that are easy to defend and difficult to attack are all capital that he can live in peace without being harassed.

It's just that such a good place is occupied by this mediocre talent, which makes the people around him a little nervous. At least his golden crocodile nephew had been beating him up.

Of course, Duke Peya is not ambitious, but he is not stupid. He knew that the golden crocodile on the Benlei Plain was powerful and had coveted his territory for a long time. So he built a fortress and a defensive offensive at the pass near the Benlei Plain, and dug several moats. It's to stop the opposing team's terrible cavalry.

But the defense in the north is much looser than in the west. After all, it was the territory of the bastard known as the Three Wastes, and he didn't take the other party into account at all.

On this day, however, the Duke of Peya was nestled by the fireplace of his castle, listening to the Chancellor of the Exchequer report on the year's income and expenditure of the territory.

A soldier hastily interrupted his conversation with the Chancellor of the Exchequer.

"Lord Duke! The scout has reported that a cavalry team of unknown origin has appeared in the north of the territory! The number of people is about a thousand. ”

"Huh? Cavalry from the north? ”

Duke Peya raised his hand and asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer to stop reporting first.

He looked at the person and asked, "Do you know who it is?" What flags are being flailed? ”

"It was...., it seemed to be a black crow flag, never seen before."

"Black crow? Who's that? ”

Duke Peya pondered and pondered, but he didn't know that Holger had such a number one person.

The Chancellor of Finance next to him interjected: "Lord Duke, it can't be the third prince of Eagle Stream Canyon, right?" ”

"Him?"

The Duke raised his eyebrows: "That waste bastard? Hehe~ It's a miracle that he can survive in the Demon Forest, is it still his idea to fight us? And what's going on with that Black Raven Banner? Would anyone use a crow as a family crest and flag? ”

Despite the ridicule, Duke Peya said cautiously: "Let the scouts probe again, and warn the other party that they are not allowed to move forward." ”

"Yes! My lord! ”

The soldiers retreated, and the Duke of Peya did not pay attention to the cavalry of about a thousand men. Because there were nearly 20,000 permanent soldiers under his command, and the cavalry force numbered 5,000.

Although his soldiers were not as elite as the Sunflower Grand Prince and the Golden Crocodile, the sheer superiority in numbers sometimes made up for the lack of training.

After the soldiers withdrew, the Duke of Peya and the Chancellor of the Exchequer continued their discussion.

"The financial allocation for the coming year has been figured out? And how is the preparation of the tribute from the royal capital? ”

"Lord Duke, it's ready, a full five thousand gold coins! I believe that His Majesty the Emperor will be satisfied. ”

"Hmm~ good! As long as my emperor brother is still in power, I can be a duke for the rest of my life, hahaha~"

Duke Peya said proudly, and laughed. But he didn't know that the Chancellor of the Exchequer had already despised himself as a duke in his heart.

Do you need to be so ambitious? Or say it in front of your own subordinates? This Duke of Peiya really doesn't have any city at all! If he didn't have that Holger III as his elder brother, I'm afraid he would only be a rich man in the royal city.

After checking the accounts of the realm and completing the financial distribution for the coming year, the Duke of Peya stretched and prepared to go to his lunch.

He doesn't have much ambition, but he is full of rituals. Even if it is just a slice of fried egg, he must prepare a knife, fork and paper towel, and eat it slowly and elegantly.

He always said that this was the demeanor of a royal nobleman.

And today's lunch was his favorite Northland veal steak. The so-called Northland refers to the northern part of Holger, where there is a pasture dedicated to the royal family to breed cattle and sheep.

I heard that the cattle and sheep there are raised in the wild, and they exercise regularly and quantitatively every day, and they can also come to the hot spring to bathe every three or five times. The beef and mutton raised in this way is delicious and tastes excellent! When it is medium-rare, the gravy and blood flow on the taste buds, which only makes people flutter ~~~

But today, as soon as Duke Peiya brought a small piece of steak into his mouth, Yaxing was disturbed by the soldiers who broke in.

"Male... Lord Duke! Oh no! ”

Duke Peiya put down his knife and fork, and said with a displeased face: "You'd better give me a reasonable explanation, my lunch has been interrupted by you!" ”

The soldier over there glanced at the plate in front of the duke, swallowed and said, "I'm really sorry, Lord Duke!" But the situation is urgent! Urgent military intelligence from the north! ”

"What emergency military intelligence? What's going on? He asked.

"Lord Duke, it's still the thousand people you found in the morning! Cavalry under the banner of a black crow! ”

"Didn't you warn each other?"

The soldier frowned and said, "A warning is a warning, but the other party doesn't pay attention to it at all.... And they're incredibly fast! It took less than half an hour to break through our defenses to the north! Soldiers.... None of them seemed to react. By the time they reacted, the enemy had already crossed the line and entered our northern hinterland. They plundered the fortress of Khattar and looted almost all the money and food we had stored there..."

"What!?"

The Duke let out a roar of disbelief, and his slammed fists shook the knife and fork to the ground.

"Didn't the Khattar fortress have two thousand defenders? How did it happen? ”

The soldier only felt that his voice was dry, and he tried to say hoarsely, "The other party ..... Leading the way is... It's a strange creature like a half-man, half-horse you've never seen before.... She seems to be the leader of this cavalry. With just one sword, she slashed the drawbridge that was about to be put away in the city of Khattar.... And so he rushed into the city gates. Two thousand defenders were simply not enough to see in front of each other, and they were scattered as soon as they fought... My lord, those cavalry are too strong in combat! And..."

"And what? Don't spit it out! ”

"And... That cavalry team seems to be multi-ethnic cavalry... We saw orcs, dwarves, wildlings, and even goblins inside! And, of course, humans. Although they have a variety of mounts, their riding skills are all top-notch! Very well equipped too! Our people are no match at all! Lord Duke, think of a way! ”

"What are you kidding?? The other side has only a thousand cavalry, and we have almost 20,000! How can you be afraid of them? ”

Although Duke Peiya said this, his subconscious steps back had already exposed the timidity in his heart.

"Quick.... Fast! Send a message to the western garrison now! Let them send a team of elites back to protect me! In addition, close the gates at once, pull up the drawbridge, and no one will be allowed to enter or leave the castle! Just go! ”

"It's... Lord Duke! ”

Duke Pea's reaction was not Lana's surprise. When this guy found out that someone had invaded the hinterland, the first thing he thought of was to mobilize soldiers around him, as if this was the only way to give him a sense of security.

He also didn't want to think that there were only a thousand people coming, and the breach of the fortress of Khattar was just an accident, and if he wanted to break through his castle, it was almost impossible to do it without heavy siege equipment.

But the Duke obviously did not want to fight the other side in the field, he just wanted to hide in his castle and let the other party retreat. At least that's what he thinks.

However, Olivia was not polite at all, since the other party was cowering in the castle, then she was wreaking havoc in the north of the Duke of Peya's territory! Grab almost all the places you can grab there!

Of course, many of the population were also driven north by her.

It's just that Duke Peiya compared his castle and gold coins, and the loss of those lords did not attract his attention.

It wasn't until the north of his realm had become a dead land that he sensed that something was wrong. Of course, that's all for later.
