The first thousand two hundred and seventy-ninth chapters move
"His Excellency Duke, Fengshuang Town is ahead."
A Knight Report.
Marveen Parker raised his viewing glass and observed the movements in the town. This place is located at the southwest junction of Yongdong and Langxin. It is surrounded by hillsides. Standing at any high point, you can clearly see the situation of the town. Because the terrain is easy to attack and difficult to defend, Fengshuang Town has not been expanded into a castle for a hundred years.
There are many such small towns on the border between the two kingdoms, and nothing special. If Ma Weien had usually looked at it, but now, it has a unique meaning.
"Did the person who went to inquire about the information have any news?"
"I asked, and I only spent a few silver wolfs, and all the townsmen said it." The knight said proudly, "There is indeed a team of Graycastle people here that is active. There are not many, only forty or fifty people, and it will appear once every once a while."
"Why aren't they stationed here?"
"After crossing the border, there are mountain roads, and I heard that wild wolves often appear and no one escorted them, I am afraid that none of the refugees will be able to get through."
Ma Weien suddenly felt a clear mind.
The spread of the red fog is not based on the border, but it is like an expanding semicircle, which makes the farthest red fog cross the area of Langxin Royal City, and the nearest one is still in Yongdong. Compared to going to neighboring countries, it is obvious that fighting within the kingdom is more at ease.
Fengshuang Town not only meets this requirement, but also because of its remote location, those guys who are confused by the Gray Castle people rarely enter the heart of the wolf from here. Compared with several large cities with convenient transportation, Fengshuang Town is almost as unobtrusive as mosquito legs.
What Mavien wants is just that there are few people.
The lack of people means that Gray Castle will not pay too much attention to this place, and the information found by the spies undoubtedly confirms this.
As the old scholar said, those hard-to-kill bones are subject to their own devils. What he has to do is to bite the other party’s fragility. As long as this kind of thing is passed on, no matter how big or small the result is, the other party can be afraid of the other party.
Of course, the old scholar's plan was not just that, there were more ruthless tricks waiting for the Graycastle people. If they could successfully come, then two or three times, he believed that the other party's plundering action would be greatly setbacked, and the Lord of the Sky might also rely more on him.
"Go back, it's time to have a good talk with everyone."
...
After spending half a day rushing back to the nearest town, Ma Weien walked into the former lord's mansion with great enthusiasm. This place originally belonged to an unknown baron, but not long ago, he was frightened by the approaching Red Fog and the rumors of the devil, which saved him a lot of negotiations.
This land does not belong to him at the moment. After all, his real power is temporarily limited to the four cities in the north, but Ma Weien believes that the expansion of the Parker family will never end there.
Soon, the group of nobles he summoned gathered together and waited for him to speak.
The duke looked around and silently recorded the face and expression of each person. There were forty-five recruits in the room, most of them were knights, and there were a few barons, and the highest status was the lord of the former North Port, Viscount Nagor. These people were either forced to lose their territory or all their people were stolen by the Greycastle people. With the promise of the fief reward, they defected to him without hesitation. If they included their own guards, confidants and entourages, the number of people available for this team was as high as more than 300.
It is obviously an excellent opportunity to have a calculating but not mindfulness, and the number of people has an advantage. What's more important is that they have no weapon gap with their opponents for the first time. In the past, the Yongdong nobles were beaten to no aggression because the firearms of the Greycastle people were really fierce, and their firing speed and distance were far beyond the reach of the snow powder weapons they imitated. If there were no such group of confiscated support from the Lord of the Sky, let alone three hundred people, even if they doubled, no nobles would be willing to help him fight against the Greycastle people.
"I wonder how everyone is preparing?" Ma Weien cleared his throat. "I think you guys should have already touched those firearms, right?"
"Isn't it just to put the bullet into the chamber and then aim it at the target and pull the trigger?" Viscount Nagors said with anger. "Those things that farmers in the mountains and fields can do, but we can't use them. Those captured guys had to be severely punished before they could explain them. They were still hesitant and reluctant. I think there was anything great!"
"Yes, it's hard to make it so exquisitely, but it's much easier to use than a sword." A knight echoed. "I've also interrogated the Greycastle people. They have only been two years since they joined the army. They usually learn to shoot firearms in a month, and it took me five years to practice swords alone."
"One month is because these untouchables are too stupid. If I were me, three days would be enough." Another person's speech caused a burst of laughter.
"I want them to know that without firearms they are nothing!"
"Isn't the firearm given by the witch? I think the King of Gray Castle is just a gap in the church's way of sweeping away the eternal winter and the wolf heart."
People's hearts are available! Ma Weien realized that these nobles were already full of anger and had been ready to take revenge on the group of Greycastle people. Although this mixed team was pieced together a week ago, some of them could not even name each other, everyone at least had the same goal and was full of energy.
"But the number of crossbow arrows called bullets is limited, and even fewer are assigned to each person's head." The knight who followed him before spread his hands, "If possible, I hope everyone can save some money and fire when the distance is close."
Ma Weien looked at the other party with a few approvals. The man was named Fleur, a native of the West. He had also taken him to his acumen before. From these words, we can see that Fleur had seized the key to victory and defeat. If he could find an opportunity, he would take him as his own.
"Don't worry," the Duke said confidently, "The Greycastle people don't have many bullets. The wolf heart is mountainous in the northwest, which limits their burden. In addition... they will let us get close to the escort of the fugitives out of danger. Isn't it their slogan that they promote?"
Everyone sneered.
That's right, as long as the other party comes to plunder the population, it will definitely not give up this wave of "lambs" that are easy to obtain. But they don't know that wolves sometimes hide in it. In this world, changing from hunters to prey is often just a moment. When they find out that they are cheating, they are probably already trapped in the cage.
After that, as long as they disguise themselves as the other party and turn around and loot the towns along the way, the propaganda of the Grayburg people will inevitably be self-defeating. After repeated several times, they will not think of pulling someone away from here again.
