Chapter 332: The Lord of Battle Valley Arrives
Two teams of cavalry passed through Yewen Pass and headed towards the Land of Three Rivers overnight.
These cavalry are divided into two columns.
One column is a young and beautiful female elf or half-elf, wearing leather armor, carrying long bows and musical instruments. They are either druid rangers or bards.
One column is composed of strong male human warriors, wearing knight armor, carrying swords and shields on their backs, and hanging lances. They are standard cavalry.
In the team, several battle flags were fluttering in the wind. The battle flags were based on huge red cloaks, with swords and shields crossed in front.
This is the flag of the lords of the Battle Valley, the symbol of Lord Ilmet. The red cloak symbolizes the greatest king of the Battle Valley, the cloaked king Anka, and the sword and shield symbolize their allegiance to him. warrior.
The two riders at the front are walking side by side.
The leader of the girl group is also a half-elf girl. She has a peerless appearance that is rare even among elves. Her smile is touching and her body is light but not thin. She smiles before she speaks, crisp and clear. There was a wordless charm in his voice.
The warrior leader is a middle-aged man with a handsome appearance and a short dark beard. He is meticulously groomed, which hints at the master's temperament. His eyes are firm and his lips are tight. You can tell at a glance. , is a person who always keeps a serious smile on his face, as if nothing in the world can shake him.
It wasn't until his eyes shifted to the girl next to him that he showed a little tenderness.
The girl is naturally one of the instigators of this ghost wine auction, Miss Regina, the princess of Battle Valley.
The middle-aged man is Lord Ilmet, the guardian of the Battle Valley.
Publicly and privately, they all have to participate in this ghost wine auction.
Yu Gong, this is a major event that happens in Battle Valley, second only to the quadrennial Shield Festival. They shoulder the responsibility of security.
Privately, there are some interests belonging to Regina, which are more than one hundred thousand pure profits. Even if it is placed on them, it is not a small amount.
“The man you like is not as omnipotent as you described!” Lord Ilmet pursed his thin lips slightly, revealing a hint of ridicule, “We are now far away from Vizeme The manor is no more than ten kilometers away, and it is still like entering an uninhabited land. We can kill you directly outside the manor with a sudden attack."
"What do you mean by the man I like? Don't talk nonsense." Regina was angry, but what showed in her eyes was not anger, but more pride, "Who said we entered the uninhabited land? Don't you think that since we left the Yewen Passage? , the wolf howl is too rhythmic, and has never left our side?"
"You mean, all the wild wolves here are driven by them?" Lord Ilmet said in surprise? .
"Even if he doesn't drive them all, he at least has a reconnaissance guard composed of hundreds of wild wolves, placed around as sentries." The pride that Regina showed was as if she was a victor. The mistress of Zemei Manor is now taking her old father to visit.
"Driving so many wild wolves? How did he do it?" Lord Ilmet's expression finally became more serious. As a qualified leader, he knew the value of these wild scouts.
They will hunt on their own and do not need support. Secondly, the main reason is concealment. Even if they just saw it, they will not care, because wild wolves are the most common hunters. When they are on the road, they will hit each other. It is really common to have ten or eight waves.
In Battle Valley, once you leave the Rosaville Road, the surrounding wilderness is no longer the domain of intelligent life, but the domain of these wild animals.
Regana said slightly annoyed: "Mr. Ilmet, when I talked to you last time, were you listening? I told you that he has a high-level devil under his command. Dog demons can drive wild wolves in large numbers, and they can do this even if they have fey and fey druids serving them.”
Being called by his first name, Lord Ilmet was not annoyed at all, but rather a little embarrassed, because he knew that this was a precursor to the true anger of his beloved daughter, so he hurriedly defended himself: "I remembered, it was just that before. How did he do it without thinking about it and recruiting high-level devils and fey as his subordinates at the same time?”
Regina shrugged and said: "I don't know this, just like I don't know whether he is a warrior, a mage or a druid. The longer I stay in contact with him, the less I can see through him. "
"Walking multiple positions?" Lord Ilmet asked in confusion.
It is not uncommon to have professional levels in several professions.
It’s just that most people’s part-time job is traceable, with one profession as the main profession, and the remaining professions are strengthened around this profession. For example, he is a warrior and part-time divine warrior.
The span between warriors, mages and druids is too big, and professional abilities cannot complement each other.
Regina shook her head and said: "It's not that simple. His professional level is generally not high, but the skills he knows are quite high-end. Enlightenment is a spell that can only be used by extraordinary druids. It can be compared with Mr. August, who is more than two years old." Do you think he is an ordinary warrior?" "Two moves against August?" Lord Ilmet looked incredulous.
That is a veteran paladin who has been famous for decades. Although his abilities are not as outstanding as his apprentice Darnell, it is not an ordinary person who can reach the extraordinary.
At least Lord Ilmet did not have the confidence to overwhelm his opponent.
"Mr. August said so himself."
Lord Ilmet breathed a sigh of relief and said: "That's the old gentleman's modesty. You don't need to take it too seriously..."
"Look, there are many tree people."
"That's not a tree. People, those are Enlightenment Trees."
"Huh? Halflings? Why are there so many different races here?"
"What kind of magic is that? ?”
Waves of incredible whispers came from behind, interrupting the whispers of the father and daughter at the front. Looking up, a fantasy construction site appeared in front of them.
Halfling houseboats were dragging logs down the river to the nearby shore.
Each enlightened tree is responsible for dragging these thick logs to the shore.
The Tethyr immigrants who had been waiting for a long time rushed forward and used various tools to clean up the logs, tied them up with ropes, and tied the knots. Then let Enlightenment Tree drag it to the construction site, where a group of short kobolds have already dug a deep hole and can just stand the log in.
Some logs flew up on their own and spliced together with the erected logs.
When I got closer, I realized that these logs did not fly here by themselves.
It is a group of miniature fey pixies that spread their own fairy dust and carry them flying.
There are already fey druids waiting there, using the wood-shaping technique to turn these logs into a round shape again.
A log platform is pieced together at a speed visible to the naked eye. Its round shape makes it look like it is growing out of the ground.
Not to mention the human warriors who looked straight at him, even the half-elves and moon elves looked incredulous.
They had only heard of this situation of many races working together in the legend about Myth Drannor, but had never seen it before.
I saw it today, and I just discovered that the reality is more fantastic than the legend, which makes people shocked and speechless.
Cang! clang! clang!
A huge bell rang.
Everyone put down their work and began to gather at the top of the slope.
There, there are already hundreds of pots, steaming hot.
The aroma of food wafting out of it can be clearly smelled even from hundreds of meters away.
There were several people on horseback, running down the river towards the direction of Regina and Lord Ilmet.
The leader is not Gavin, the lord of this place, who else could it be.
Gavin came all the way and said with a smile: "Miss Regina, you are indeed a person of your word. You really invited Lord Ilmet here, which has added a lot of glory to the land of Three Rivers. Lord, you can't welcome it from far away." It’s rude, but the auction is coming soon and the construction period is tight, so we must race against time.”
Lord Ilmet has already returned to his unsmiling appearance. In this way, he nodded towards Gavin and said: "Mr. Gavin, there is no need to be polite, everything is business. Regina has repeatedly mentioned to me that you are unusual. On the way here, I didn't take it seriously. Unexpectedly, You are more extraordinary than she said, and you are worthy of being the man that my daughter likes.”
If you can’t speak, don’t speak, no one will think you are mute!
What do you mean by a man that I like?
On the other side, Regina gritted her teeth in hatred, but in front of outsiders, she saved enough face for her father.
"It's my honor." Gavin didn't take it seriously at all, as if he didn't misunderstand Lord Ilmet's meaning at all, "Lord, you came just in time, it's our meal time, you probably haven't had time to eat yet. , If you don’t mind, why don’t you take your soldiers and eat some together?”
“Isn’t this appropriate? There are so many of us, your meals must be prepared per head.” The special lord did not refuse forcefully.
Because he was very curious, what was the eating scene like on the mountain?
After all, so many completely different races gather together, and if you are not careful, it may cause a big riot.
But so far, there is no sign of this.
"Don't worry, I've already prepared your share." Gai Wen's implication was obvious.
He already knew that the cooks were coming before they got angry.
This is also true. The Yewen Passage is the main access to the outside world from the Land of Three Rivers.
How could Gavin be completely undefended?
Not only are the wilderness filled with wolf sentries controlled by the dog demons, there are at least three Erd teams patrolling back and forth in the air.
Military activities with more than five personnel will be reported to Copperfield, and if there are more than one squad, Gavin will be notified.
"Since Mr. Gavin is ready, we naturally cannot refuse this kindness." Lord Ilmet waved his hand and said, "Dismount and unload."
In this way, naturally It is to show your sincerity.
This is a response to the sincerity of the other party - inviting them to dine among their own subjects is not ordinary sincerity and trust.
“Just dismount, there is no need to unload.” Gavin said at the side.
Seeing that Lord Ilmet was still hesitant, Regina explained on the side: "Father, just listen to Mr. Gavin. This is not only sincerity, but also confidence."
She has seen it with her own eyes. The fighting power of Broken Thorn and Black Heather was terrifying. I heard that he was in the Sealed Land again, enlightened five willow trees that could be combined, and forcibly opened a ten-ton fine gold coffin from the underground river.
It is really unimaginable what kind of disaster it would be for a group of warriors to face such a being.
"Miss Regina, you are still as good at joking as before." Gavin laughed loudly. Although he did have such thoughts, it was still a bit embarrassing to be exposed.
"Okay, let's go up the mountain." Lord Ilmet waved his hand heavily and decided to follow Regina's advice on this matter.
Although she is not very old, she is already unique in all aspects, especially in the aspect of understanding people and external communication, she has already far surpassed herself.
Compared to himself, she is more suitable to be a lord, and he is training her in this direction.
Regina drove her horse forward and walked side by side with Gavin. She couldn't help but praise: "Mr. Gavin, where did you find such a beautiful horse? It has such an elegant figure. , the smell is so unique, it doesn’t come from the Fairy Wilderness, does it? Help me get one if you have time.”
