In fact, trouble came quickly. After the territory had a good harvest, the news spread quickly. After all, the neighbors around were not dead. It was common to send spies to the neighbors' houses regularly to see what they were eating and using, and whether they were getting rich.
, not to mention that the territory of the Hydra family has changed so much in the past year or so. They will not just watch it. After all, although they were just adding insult to injury, they were inseparable from the death of Hydra I. How could they watch it?
With the re-emergence of the Hydera family.
They didn't think that the Hydra family would be merciful, so they had no choice but to strike first.
Those who dare to go deep into the North to become lords are all daring people. It is impossible to expect them to be peaceful. At the beginning, Hydra I used force to bully them, so when they knew that the Hydra family's territory had a good harvest and there were signs of re-emergence,
, it only took half a month to form a coalition consisting of three barons and one viscount.
Owen has known this for a long time. After all, there are no telephones in these days, and the means of communication are very primitive. If you are in the empire, you also need to consider magical means. The Northland relies entirely on people, and there is no chance for carrier pigeons, so you come and go from all directions.
The messengers were like hard-working bees in the wilderness of the North. Even if the other party had taken care to hide, the scout cavalry was not a vegetarian, and they discovered something was wrong almost on the first day.
Even though the scout cavalry's combat effectiveness could not be judged, they were really good at tracking. From the traces left on the ground, they discovered something was wrong, so they immediately reported it to the lord.
After learning about this, Owen did not panic, because he had already expected it. After all, he did not expect the changes in the territory to be concealed forever. Therefore, in addition to ordering the scout cavalry to strengthen surveillance, he also began to strengthen his strength.
Owen had some knowledge of the situation of the four surrounding neighbors, they were Viscount Feilong, Baron White Wolf, Baron Bison, and Baron Swan.
This is a characteristic of the northern border nobles. Most of them use the names of monsters and animals. For example, the Hydra family was originally called Hydra. Later, I heard that Hydra was also called Hydra. I thought the latter sounded better and more elegant.
Just use Hydra.
Among these four nobles, Viscount Feilong is the strongest. Just like Hydra I has a roundabout relationship with a certain noble in the empire, Viscount Feilong also comes from a noble family in the empire. Therefore, compared with other nobles on the northern border, he has more
A bit of background, and this bit of background is the gap, the class, and the watershed that distinguishes a lord and a baron.
It's a pity that Viscount Feilong met Hydra I and was beaten from beginning to end. In the end, after being robbed of a certain treasure, Feilong I, who was in his prime, was so angry that he vomited blood and died. Therefore, the Hydra family and the Feilong family are the same.
feud.
Therefore, it was the opponent who started it this time. Feilong II has this ability and qualifications.
Even if a goblin is extremely hungry and can eat humus, it is not a bug after all. If it wants to last for a long time, it must have a decent food source.
The four together can gather one to two hundred soldiers, as well as a considerable number of militiamen.
Such a long time was enough for the Goblin General to establish a firm foothold in the Devil's Horn Forest and conquer many Devil's Horn Goblins.
Interestingly, the place where the other party decided to meet their troops was actually next to the Devil's Horn Forest.
Real knights are all beings who master fighting spirit and break the limits of human beings. Each of them is an enemy of hundreds of people.
The Horned Goblin is also a Goblin. Facing the Goblin Warriors and Goblin Generals with higher levels of life, they have no intention of resisting desperately, because this is an internal fight, and it is also the Goblin's duty to obey the strong.
nature, so the problem facing the Goblin General is not how many men he has, but how many Goblins he can feed.
This shows that real knights have great fighting spirit. Among the four nobles, Viscount Feilong and Swan Baron have fighting spirit inheritance. Baron White Wolf is a veteran mercenary. Owen is not sure whether they have fighting spirit inheritance. As for Buffalo Baron,
He probably doesn't have fighting spirit, but he has the blood of the northern barbarians, and his fighting ability cannot be underestimated.
But it’s not surprising, because the Northland is empty and only the Devil’s Horn Forest can provide cover, so unless they plan to alert Owen to join the army directly under the castle, or to catch up with them for a day before starting the fight, this is their only place.
choose.
As for the three barons, they are not just a handful. Among them, Baron White Wolf is a mercenary. Although his soldiers are not many, they are the most powerful in combat. However, after so many years, the original old man is dead and disabled, but his strength is still there.
How much remains is unknown.
Ciel can be taken as an example. Although she did not learn fighting spirit, she is extremely talented. With the blessing of Templar Template and Iron Shirt, she also exceeds the limits of the human body, but she takes the path of the physical body instead of fighting spirit.
The Swan Baron came from the best family, and was a minor nobleman in the empire. Unfortunately, his family was in decline, and he offended the nobles, so he was forced to go to the north. Therefore, he was the last to arrive, but his development was not bad, and he was also the one Owen knew the least about.
As for why it didn't happen, Owen knew very well that it wasn't because he was swept away by the cruel old woman in his predecessor.
After learning that his neighbor was taking action, Owen dispatched scouts from the Devil's Horn Forest Village to strengthen surveillance.
Based on the family wealth of the four lords, most of the soldiers should be ordinary soldiers, with only a few veterans. As for the elite, there should be only a few northern barbarians under the Buffalo Baron. As for the knights, Owen didn't know how many there were.
At first Irving thought that knights were only strong and proficient in martial arts, and also knew some ability to lead troops and govern, but in fact it was not that simple.
Owen exchanged arms according to the system, classifying soldiers worth one progress value as ordinary, those with three progress values as veterans, those with five progress values as elites, and those with ten progress values as elites, that is, knights.
The Buffalo Baron has part of the Northland Barbarian blood, so he has several Northland Barbarians under his command and has connections with the Northland Barbarian tribes.
"You are really asking for your own death." Owen said quietly. Originally, he had prepared to fight a defensive battle and was prepared to lose everything outside the castle. Who would have thought that the other party would really choose the place to bury them?
, wouldn’t it be a failure to live up to their good intentions?
The Hydra family originally had a legacy of fighting spirit. Otherwise, Hydra I and his sons used to suppress those four families, but now they are gone.
Not only is the inheritance of fighting spirit gone, but also the few things that can be called treasures in the Hydera family are gone, including the flying dragon egg snatched from the flying dragon I.
The problem is that Goblins have no talent for farming, not even herding. Apart from gathering and hunting, they can only plunder.
However, the Devil's Horn Forest is in a special situation. There are no targets for plunder at all. There are some outside the forest. The problem is that the closest one is the Demon King's territory. As for other human territories, they are far away. For this reason, the Goblin General has a headache.
The Goblin General now commands all the monsters under the Demon King, but it has not forgotten that all these were given by the Demon King, which means that it can be replaced at any time, because it is eager to prove its ability to the Demon King.
Fortunately, the opportunity came. After receiving the order from the Demon King, the Goblin General blew his horn excitedly. Countless pairs of cunning eyes suddenly opened in the dark Demon Horn Forest, and the Goblins began to gather.
