At night, the Valsem Tower was still brightly lit. The uneven camp tent was surrounded by hundreds of meters centered on the southern tower. Under the stone bridge across the Baihe River, corpses were hung, and the bodies of soldiers were covered with snow.

The top floor of the North Tower was originally a bedroom, but now it has been converted into a banquet hall. Dozens of men and women in armor sit together, drinking and eating meat, and they are so happy.

"Haha, Koya, are you relieved this time?"

The person who spoke was a Nord man sitting there, holding a whole roast lamb leg in one hand and a bottle of Alto in the other hand, drinking wildly. If Sawyer recognized this person, he would use all means to tear him into pieces.

"Crow Blade" Higlu disappeared after escaping in the Western Post Tower. Unexpectedly, he returned to Xuemanling and became the leader of this robber feast.

"Thanks to Brother Xiong's help, I helped my brothers avenge me."

The original Lynkoya of the Valsem Tower sat at the end near the door with a three-point gratitude and a seven-point bitter smile on her face. Although she avenged a group of brothers, she had only seventeen of her subordinates. Although they were all elite, their combined strength was not as strong as a medium-sized robber group. The hall was full of leaders of large robber groups from all over the world. She could sit here to save her face.

The bear brother Koya said was sitting on the left of Higlu, and he was nicknamed "Ice Bear". As for what his real name is, no one remembers it. The Ice Bear, who occupied the Jincha site, is not an unknown person in the sky. Although there are less than 160 people under his command, no one can survive in the white land, and no one can survive in the poor mountains and rivers. Among them, there are 120 elites and ace combat power. Even when Higlu's gray crow has not yet been destroyed, he dare not provoke him.

Sitting on the right side of Higlu were the three leaders of the Robber Canyon. Although only more than 100 elite troops were photographed by the Robber Canyon this time, the Robber Canyon was too famous, so everyone asked him to be the third leader of the coalition forces.

The others here are leaders from different territories, belonging to fifteen large robber groups. They are also famous guys in their respective territories. Each of them has at least two or three hundred people. In addition to the staff of Ice Bear and the Robber Canyon, the number of these people in the hall alone is more than five thousand!

In addition to those small and medium-sized robber groups that are not qualified to participate in this gathering, this "robber feast" gathered more than 12,000 robbers!

There are more than 12,000 robbers, and there are nearly 2,000 elite forces here. No wonder Xueman dared not take the initiative to attack.

"Hmm, I'll avenge you first this time, and then it's my turn to settle the score!"

Shigru bit a big bite of lamb leg, smiled ferociously, and looked towards the west with a sharp gaze, which was the direction of Xuemancheng.

"Haha, don't worry, Boss Higru, let's surround them for a few days first. If you can't wait for a long time, those noble masters can't wait. As long as they dare to leave the city...hehe!"

Bingxiong grinned a few times and made a gesture of wiping his neck. The robbers below burst into laughter, and some even shouted to be robber nobles.

Xiglu did not stop it. In his opinion, the size of more than 12,000 people was enough to wipe out the entire Xueman Corps, and he could become a robber lord once. In this way, the group of robber leaders below would become nobles!

As Bing Bear expected, the days of the sentry towers were not easy when Xueman took over the castles. There was not much food in the castles and outposts, but he did not dare to cut down the military's rations. It was estimated that all the food in stock would be eaten in less than a week. Now only Heder Manor and Xueman City were better, but several farms outside the city walls were looted by robbers.

Loristed, who had not been affected by this "robber's feast", was also besieged when the Robber Canyon sent people into Xuemanling a few days ago. Although he defended the city wall with the tenacious resistance of a group of veterans, he also paid a lot of food and money to kill the besieged robbers. If he still did not receive support, it would be difficult for the remaining food to survive this winter.

"Sir, Count Helder's reply has arrived!"

In the Dragon Xiao Palace in Xueman City, Avensi handed a volume of letters to Lord Balguff, the great man. Balguff opened the scroll and glanced, but his frown frowned even deeper.

"The situation is not very good. There were three thousand people surrounded outside Heddle Manor, and the commander has not found out yet."

Balgoff rubbed his eyebrows, and at this time, the chief guard Iriles walked in with a raven: "Lord, news about Valsem Tower."

"Read it."

Balgoff held his forehead with one hand and waved his other hand a few times. Now there is too much bad news, so he really doesn't want to go and see it by himself.

Iriles took the letter from the raven's leg and started to read: "The Valsem Tower gathered a total of 5,000 robbers, from the Xuemanling, Baidiling, East, Rift Valley and Yar border. The proven robber group is Jincha Ice Bear, Robber Canyon, and Elf Tooth... The commander is suspected to be the Grey Crow Shiglu!"

"Siglu of Grey Crow?"

After hearing this name, Balguff was stunned: "Isn't he dead?"

Ireles explained: "Sir, according to Earl Huddle, after the Western Outpost, no Siglu's corpse was found, so it was only confirmed that the Gray Crow robbers were annihilated."

"This guy is really terrified! By the way, who was with Lord Sawyer last time?" Balgoff rubbed his eyebrows and suddenly asked.

"It's Nodya of the Western Post Tower, lord."

"Western Post..." Balgoff knocked on the armrest of the chair, "How is the situation there?"

"There were no crows from the western poster tower. It is estimated that the crows from the western poster tower have been shot down by robbers. However, according to the scouts, the western poster tower is still besieged and has not been broken yet."

"It's better to have no news than being broken. Avenxi, how long can the food in the city last?"

Balgoff sighed and asked about other information, and the entire hall was dead.

Similar things were also staged in Heddle Manor, the Western Post Tower and other places. The entire Xuemanling was shrouded in the dark clouds of war, forcing the nobles to make a decision.

Early the next morning, when the sky was still dark, a cavalry team quietly left Xueman, avoided the robbers and spies in the outer city, and ran all the way towards Baihe.

When passing by the looted Pedagia farm, a young cavalry couldn't help but slow down his mount, but the veteran behind him immediately whipped his war horse with a whip, forcing the war horses under him to add up again.

"But...we are the knights of Xueman, aren't we? Shouldn't we protect the people of Xueman?"

The young knight's eyes were full of unbearableness, especially when he saw the surviving woman curled up on the haystack and shivering, neither the former knight's oath nor his conscience could let him sit idly.

"You'll be no longer there soon."

The viscount, who was protected by the knight in the middle, turned his head and said sneeringly, then turned his head to look at the woman curled up on the haystack, and actually smacked his lips and praised: "Tsk tsk, these robbers' taste is surprisingly good."

Hehe

The young knight gritted his teeth tightly, fearing that he could not help but kill the young viscount with a sword. The veteran next to him also glared at the young knight as if warning, warning him not to be troublesome.

However, the young viscount refused to give up and continued to point to the looted farm: "But these robbers are still too careless. If I were to play with these women, they would kill them directly, so that they would not be accidentally run away by them, and it would be better to strangle them to death, so that the corpse can be played again...what do you want to do!"

Listening to the young viscount's "talking" and the young knight finally couldn't help but explode. He kicked the horse's belly hard with both feet, pulled out his sword and chopped it at the viscount. However, a crisp "ding" sound was followed, and the sword was held first by the veteran who had been staring at him next to him.

He looked at the terrified young viscount with resentment, but the young knight strangled the reins. The cavalry around the noble had already pulled out his weapons, and he had no chance to kill this scum.

The brief battle seemed to wake up the robbers in the farmhouse. A robber with his lower body yawned out. The young viscount didn't want to be too much. He glanced at the knight with resentment and almost left with the remaining cavalry.

The young knight did not chase him. He turned his horse's head and rushed towards the farmhouse, pierced the robber's chest with a sword, then flew down, and strangled the robber's throat with both hands, sealing the robber's scream in his throat.

The two women curled up on the haystack also woke up. They seemed to be a mother and daughter. The girl looked only thirteen or fourteen years old. The young knight scolded the scumbag again, but this time they scolded the robber who ransacked the farmhouse.

The girl looked at the robber lying in a pool of blood and was about to scream when the knight with quick eyes and hands covered her mouth: "Shh, I am Xueman's knight, I'm here to save you!"

While comforting the girl, the knight gestured to the woman next to her and asked her to follow him. The knight himself picked up the girl and walked towards the direction of the war horse.

A few more screams came from the farmhouse, as if calling for the killed robbers. The knight did not dare to delay, so he hugged the girl and rode on the war horse, pulled the woman to the horse, and let her sit behind him.

At this time, the sound of the farmhouse became noisy, and the shouts of holding weapons were mixed with the sound of holding weapons. The knight did not dare to neglect it. Before the robber chased out, he fled to Xueman with the two women.

Almost at the same time, at the sewer exit west of the Gray Swamp Fortress, more than a dozen elite soldiers protected a noble and escaped. The soldiers quickly dispersed under the leadership of the nobles. After confirming the safety of the surroundings, the nobles knocked on the iron bars of the sewer. Then, hundreds of soldiers continued to climb out of the sewer 66 and formed a line of defense with the previous elite soldiers. The last one came out were nearly a hundred craftsmen.

They were the craftsmen and guards of the Gray Swamp Fortress. After a week of siege, they used up all the medicines in the castle and ate more than 90% of the food. The commander had to order the castle to abandon it and flee to Heddle Manor.

But they need to speed up. As soon as the sky is dawn, the robbers outside the city will find them running away. It will not take much time for the robbers to plunder the castle. They will soon be chased by a large number of robbers.

Similar things were also found in other noble manors. These nobles either led the remnants of troops to break through the night, fled all the way to Xueman City, or brought gold, silver and soft softness, secretly escaped from the encirclement under the protection of their confidants, and fled to Xueman's western part and even other territories. If nothing unexpected happens, Xueman's reign will never see these nobles again.
