Chapter 356 Rakoff with question marks on his face (two in one)
"Miss Stella, the war here is over, but I don't know how the heirs of the nobles in the valley ahead are doing now! Do we need to go over and investigate?" Seeing Stella's face, Nalant asked
This man who had experienced several life-and-death battles was in a stronger mood and immediately changed the subject.
"Hmm? Nalant, do you want to take a look?" Stella's thoughts were indeed mobilized, and she raised her head slightly: "Nalant, is it too dangerous to go there now? After all, it is likely to attract the Northern Principality's enemies again.
cavalry!"
Stella glanced around again worriedly. In addition to the eight men who were seriously injured and unconscious, there were also twelve people who had their limbs chopped off and were temporarily unable to ride horses or participate in the battle.
"It is indeed possible. When we fled, there were at least nearly a hundred cavalrymen directly under the Northern Principality over there!" Nalant nodded, "But, Stella, one of my girls raised a bird. It
It can detect the situation ahead for us. If we sneak into the mountains and forests on both sides of the valley, we can not only check the situation but also reduce the danger!"
"As for these wounded, transport them to the foot of the mountain over there and hide them, and then leave some cavalry to protect them. I believe there will be no big problem!"
In fact, at the moment when the previous war ended, Nalant told Shirley to send Bee Bee and Xiao Huihui to explore the situation ahead.
One is to prevent the Northern Principality from sending people again.
The second is to check the situation of the Agate Principality team ahead.
When Nalant was sewing up the last seriously wounded man, Shirley reported that the cavalry of the Northern Principality on guard showed no sign of coming back.
As for the situation of the Agate Principality team in the valley, they are already surrounded by heavy siege, and they are all forced to a mountain col and are under siege.
Fortunately, it seems that these people in the Agate Principality are still resisting for the time being and have not been eliminated or captured immediately.
Although Nalant was very happy to see guys like the eldest prince and Tony being hacked to death.
But among that group of people were most of the descendants of vassals with tulip collars, especially his cheap brother, so Narant was prepared to go over and have a look.
As for whether it helps or not, we'll see when the time comes.
In addition, Xiao Huihui also discovered a road on the hills on both sides, which should have been left by the Agate Principality rangers when they went up to explore it a few years ago. Although it was overgrown with weeds, it was still possible to travel.
"Okay! Nalant, let's go take a look!" Stella also knew about Xiao Huihui during her last birthday celebration.
Since she can ensure the safety of everyone, Stella is naturally willing to take the risk.
Soon, Nalant began to make arrangements, leaving more than a dozen rangers to place the wounded in the woods at the foot of the mountain to wait for the follow-up troops.
And he and Stella took the rest of the team to the trumpet-mouth valley.
Moreover, Nalant also brought Ramona's long-range attack team with him this time.
Although he didn't know if he would be able to take action at that time, the bed crossbow was a powerful weapon for dealing with cavalry from a distance, so he would definitely be prepared if he brought it with him.
Soon, Nalant and his party returned to the Trumpet Valley under the leadership of Xiao Huihui.
He did not dare to gallop over openly and openly, but dismounted the horse from a distance, then concealed his trace and walked towards the foot of the mountain.
After walking a few hundred meters, under the guidance of Xiao Huihui, they found the entrance to a trail covered by weeds at the foot of the mountain.
After tying all the war horses in the woods and leaving a few people to look after them, Narant and his party began to hike up the mountain.
As for the two bed crossbows, luckily we brought ten barbarians like Raymond.
Each bed crossbow is carried by five barbarians, and the speed is not slow at all.
"Narant, where did you learn this bed crossbow? It's so convenient!" Boris looked at the bed crossbow that only five people could easily lift with envy in his eyes.
Everyone has just witnessed the power of the bed crossbow. It can cause casualties to five or six cavalrymen at a distance of three to four hundred meters. This power is absolutely powerful.
More importantly, it seems to be very portable and can be used anytime and anywhere. This is more than a hundred times more convenient than the trebuchet, a powerful weapon.
"This is what I learned from an ancient book. In fact, it is just an enlarged version of the longbow, not too magical!" Nalant had long expected such a question, and looked at the appearance of the crossbow bed with a calm expression.
Some blame it on ancient books.
"It turned out to be from books again!" Boris's eyes widened. He really wanted to ask Nalant where he got so many strange books that could make people rich.
However, when he thought about it, didn't he find a secret book from a certain noble last time?
"Looks like I'll have to read more when I get back!" Boris said solemnly.
"Pfft!" Just as Boris finished his words, there was a burst of laughter from the side.
Boris turned his head and looked displeased, ready to teach the man who made fun of him a lesson, and then told him a classic case of Nalant getting a treasure after reading a book, and taught him to be a good man.
But when he turned around, he found that the person making fun of her was actually Stella. Boris could only laugh, and then turned around helplessly.
Stella also noticed that she had lost her composure and immediately regained her calm expression.
She had also heard about Boris' past style. After all, as the heir, she also had to be familiar with the personalities of his vassals.
In the past, except that Boris knew better than other nobles in doing business, in other respects he was just like ordinary nobles, with all kinds of food, drinks and entertainment.
Now hearing him so solemnly say that he wants to go back to read a book makes people laugh.
In addition, if these strange things in Nalanant really come from a certain book, it is very likely that they are very rare and unique copies.
Otherwise, with so many magical things, just taking out one of them can make a territory develop, and it has been spread throughout the principality. How could it belong to only Nalant?
Next, Nalant and the others walked along the mountain road. Although they also encountered several hidden Northern Principality spies on the mountain, they were easily dealt with by them because of the presence of Xiao Huihui and Bee.
After walking for about ten minutes, they arrived at the middle of the valley.
As soon as we got closer, the deafening shouts of killing in the valley reached our ears.
…
At the same time, among the large troops of the Agate Principality that were slowly advancing in the rear, the king and six earls were walking side by side.
"What's going on? It took so long to come back and there are less than three teams of rangers?" The king frowned and rode on the brown monster horse.
The rangers dispatched at noon today, plus young heirs, numbered at least nearly 1,800 people.
But now a few hours have passed, but only less than thirty people have returned, which made the king sense that something was wrong.
"Your Majesty, could it be that these little guys are reluctant to come back because of the rich trophies!" Lakov looked slightly relaxed.
Because Tony had reported to him at noon, this time the eldest prince secretly assembled a team of more than 400 people, preparing to hunt down the rangers of the Northern Principality in the afternoon.
Therefore, he felt that there was a certain possibility that the other heirs had not received any goods, so he was reluctant to return.
"It shouldn't be the case. Although the descendants received a lot of goods in the morning, many teams also returned midway due to battle losses." Bernard disagreed.
"Haha, Bernard, don't you know that His Highness the Great Prince and my little Tony have united many of their heirs this afternoon to form a team of four to five hundred people, specifically to hunt the rangers of the Northern Principality!"
"So, it is estimated that the other heirs did not encounter many enemies, so the battle losses will naturally be less than in the morning!" Lakoff chuckled at Bernard.
In fact, there is another sentence left unsaid later, that is, the vassal heirs under your Bernard will probably have less loot!
Tap! Tap!
"Get out of the way, emergency military information! Get out of the way, emergency military information!"
Just when Lakoff's proud smile was still hanging on his face, dozens of knights were rushing in front of him, shouting loudly as they ran.
Immediately, the cavalrymen responsible for clearing the way in front of them all moved out of the way.
The several earls and the king had extraordinary eyesight, and they could see the situation ahead in an instant.
And Bernard's heart skipped a beat.
"Your Majesty, you are my Ranger Captain!"
It was Lacy and two of his subordinates who came back to report the news.
As for the other cavalry, they were the rangers who were originally responsible for guarding the surroundings. They heard Lacy's call and followed him to help him escort him.
"Did something happen up front?" Hearing Bernard's words and the anxious look on Nalachi's face as he abandoned all his equipment, the king and other earls were a little surprised.
However, Lakoff still had some luck at the moment, guessing whether something happened to only the Tulip family.
"Your Majesty the King, I'll go up and take a look!" Bernard didn't care what everyone was thinking. He couldn't sit still at this moment. Lacy had been following Stella, so he immediately rode towards Lacy.
Welcome.
The king and several earls looked at each other and followed suit.
"Lacy, what's going on?" Soon, Bernard came to Lacy.
"Your Majesty, urgent military information, our ranger team was attacked by the Northern Principality. Among them were ten cavalrymen directly under the Northern Principality!" Lacy didn't even have time to stop his horse and jumped off the running horse.
After landing, he knelt on the ground and made an anxious sound.
"What? Directly under the cavalry! What about Stella?"
"Sir, the young lady is unwilling to abandon her subordinates and evacuate early. She and other rangers are still being pursued by the Northern Principality's troops. The young lady asked the little horse to come back and report. The Earl, please send someone to rescue the young lady!" Lacy said with a full face.
Anxious report completed.
"This silly girl, how can you be so stupid!" After hearing this, Bernard's expression changed drastically, and there was a slight hint of paleness on his face.
Although Lacy looked ashamed when he saw this, he still didn't report the news and was immediately ready to speak again.
But at this moment, Lakoff on the side intervened and asked: "The rangers of the Tulip family are in danger, then why don't you ask for help from other teams?"
At this time, Lakoff felt that his suspicion seemed to be confirmed. It was really the Tulip family's team that was in danger, and he even felt a trace of schadenfreude in his heart.
When Lacy heard this, he glanced at Lakoff with a strange expression on his face.
As a Ranger squad leader, he has participated in more than ten expeditions, so he naturally knows Lakoff.
However, he did not dare to delay any longer and immediately replied: "Back to Count Rakov, the other... other teams have been ambushed by the Northern Principality, and they are all surrounded!"
Lakoff: "???"
"What did you say, all the rangers were surrounded?" Lakoff's face was full of questions and he didn't react, but the other earls and kings were suddenly startled, and their faces turned livid.
"Yes, Your Majesty the King, except for my young lady and Sir Nalant, all other rangers and nobles' heirs are surrounded by enemy forces, and the situation is also very critical!"
"This...how is this possible...why didn't you tell me earlier..." Lakoff finally realized at this time that there was no gloating about his misfortune. The expression on his face was uglier than if he had been trampled by a monster.
And he actually aimed his anger at Lacy, took two steps forward, grabbed Lacy's collar and yelled.
"Rakov, you're looking for death. Didn't he report it to you now?" Bernard was already instructing the guards to summon the Tulip Knights. When he saw Rakov's actions, he immediately became furious and stepped forward to push Rakov away.
"I...I..." Lakoff also knew that his emotions were out of control, and he opened his mouth and was speechless.
"Enough! Why are you delaying at this time? Do you want to wait for your heir to be killed or captured? Go and summon the knights immediately to prepare for support!" The king immediately scolded with a sullen face.
"Yes, rescue is the most important thing now!" Several other counts also reacted to this horrific news and began to send people to summon their extraordinary cavalry regiments.
"Remember, this matter needs to be kept secret for now and cannot be disclosed!" At this time, the king confessed again.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
In fact, there was no need for King Culver to remind him, as all the nobles also knew it.
If the vassals knew about this now, the entire army would probably immediately blow up the camp and fall into chaos. After all, the family heirs of most of the vassals were included there.
While waiting for his men to gather together, the king continued to speak to Lacy: "Tulip Ranger, tell me the details of the afternoon, how many soldiers and horses there are in the Northern Principality, and how you fell into the ambush..."
"Your Majesty the King, this afternoon, the First Prince gathered a team of more than 500 people to fight with the Northern Principality at more than 60 places in the front, and other Ranger teams also arrived one after another... During the battle, the Northern Principality Rangers
There was a sudden defeat, and then a group of noble heirs began to chase regardless of the warnings of the rangers... In the end, the rangers of all the families fell into an ambush by the Northern Principality and were besieged in the valley seventy miles away..."
"And our team deliberately slowed down for more than a mile because of Sir Nalant's reminder. When we arrived outside the valley, the large cavalry and direct cavalry regiments of the Northern Principality appeared..."
Laqi did not dare to neglect and told everything he knew.
The more the nobles listened, the more anxious they became. They saw at least a hundred direct cavalry. When they pass by, I'm afraid...
After asking about the situation, the extraordinary knights of their respective counts also arrived one after another, and then the king and the six counts began to rush towards the north.
