Chapter 29: Seeking Your Own Death

Chapter 29: Seeking Your Own Death
In fact, the trouble came very quickly, the territory after the harvest, the news quickly spread out, after all, around the neighbors are not dead, regularly send scouts to the neighbors to see what to eat what to use, is not rich, this is a common thing, not to mention the Hydra family territory more than a year of changes so huge, they will not watch, after all, back then, although they are just a well, but the death of Hydra I, they were After all, although they only fell into the well back then, but Hydra I’s death, they can’t get out of it, how can they look at the Hydra family re-emergence.

They don’t think the Hydra family will be merciful, so they can only strike first.

Dare to go deep into the northern land as a lord, all are bold and presumptuous generation, expect them to be peaceful at all impossible, when Hydra I did not rely on force to bully them, so when they know Hydra family’s territory harvest, there are signs of re-emergence, only half a month’s time, by the three barons and a viscount composed of the coalition army on the molding.

This Owen has long known, after all, this year there is no telephone, means of communication is very primitive, if you are in the empire, but also need to consider the means of magic, the Northland is all dependent on the people, carrier pigeons are out of the question, so the four sides of the messenger you come and go with the diligent bee like in the wilderness in the Northland to and from, even if the other side has paid attention to concealment, but the scout cavalry is not vegetative, almost in the first day to find out that it is not right.

Don’t look at the scout cavalry combat strength can’t be seen, but the track tracing is really good, from the traces left on the ground to find out what’s wrong, so immediately reported to the lord.

After learning about this matter, Owen was not panicked, because he had already expected it, after all, he did not expect the changes in the territory to remain hidden, so in addition to ordering the scout cavalry to strengthen their surveillance, he also began to strengthen the power in his hands.

For the situation of the four surrounding neighbors, Owen more or less grasped some of them, they were Viscount Flying Dragon, Baron White Wolf, Baron Bison, and Baron Swan.

This is sort of the characteristics of the northern border nobles, most of them use the names of magical beasts and animals, for example, the Hydra family was initially called Hydra, and then heard people say that Hydra was also called Hydra, and felt that the latter was better sounding and more elegant, so they used Hydra.

Among these four nobles, Viscount Flying Dragon has the strongest strength, the same as HYDRA I has a roundabout relationship with a certain noble in the empire, Viscount Flying Dragon also comes from a certain noble family in the empire, so compared to other nobles in the Northland border, there is a little bit of heritage, and this little bit of heritage is the gap, is the rank, is to distinguish between Viscounts and Baron’s Watershed.

Unfortunately, Viscount Flying Dragon encountered Hydra I, from beginning to end was beaten don’t want, and finally after being robbed of a certain treasure, is in the prime of Flying Dragon I directly angry spit blood and died, so Hydra family and Flying Dragon family is a feud.

Therefore this time it was the other party who started it, and Flying Dragon II had the ability and qualification to do so.

As for the three barons, they are not to make up the number, among them, Baron White Wolf is a mercenary origin, the soldiers under him are not many, but they have the strongest fighting power, but after so many years, the initial old men are dead and crippled, how much of their strength is still left is an unknown number.

Baron Bison has part of the Northland barbarian bloodline, so he has a few Northland barbarians under his command and has connections with the Northland barbarian tribes.

Baron Swan has the best origin, is the empire of a certain small nobleman, but unfortunately the family is down and out, but also offended the nobleman, was forced to go far away from the Northland, therefore came the latest, but the development is not bad, but also Owen understand the least one.

Together, the four were able to gather one or two hundred soldiers, as well as a considerable number of militia.

Owen exchanged soldiers according to the system, categorizing soldiers worth one progress value as ordinary, three progress value as veterans, five progress value as elites, and ten progress value as elites, or knights.

With the family background of the four lords, most of the soldiers should be ordinary soldiers, with only a small number of veterans, and for the elites, there shouldn’t be many except for a few northland barbarians under the Bison Baron, and as for the knights, Owen didn’t know how many there were.

Initially, Owen thought that the knights were just strong and skilled in martial arts, and also knew some ability to lead and govern, but in reality it was not that simple.

The real knights are all mastering the fighting spirit, breaking the human limit of existence, each is a hundred people enemy. Char can be taken as an example, although she did not learn fighting qi, but gifted, coupled with the Templar template and Iron Cloth Shirt’s support, also exceeded the human limit, only that she took the path of the physical body, rather than the fighting qi.

From this, we can see the power of a real knight, or fighting qi, and among the four nobles, Viscount Flying Dragon and Baron Swan have a fighting qi inheritance, Baron White Wolf is a veteran mercenary, whether there is a fighting qi inheritance, Owen is not clear, as for the Bison Baron, presumably does not know how to fight qi, but he has a northern barbarian bloodline, the fighting power is also not to be underestimated.

Hydra family originally also has a fighting spirit inheritance, otherwise at the beginning of Hydra I with his several sons is how to press those four families to fight, but now no.

Not only is the fighting spirit inheritance gone, the few things that can be called treasures in the Hydra family are also gone, including the Flying Dragon egg that was snatched from the Flying Dragon I. The family’s fighting spirit inheritance is not only gone, but also gone.

As for how it is gone, Owen knows in his heart, it was not rolled away by the cruel mother of the predecessor.

After learning that the neighbor had made a move, Owen deployed the scouts of the Wooden Walled Village in the Magic Horn Forest and strengthened the surveillance.

Interestingly, the place where the other party decided to meet the army was surprisingly next to the Magic Horn Forest.

However, it is not surprising, because the northern land is empty, only the Magic Horn Forest can play the role of cover, so unless they intend to alarm Owen directly under the castle to meet the army, or to catch up with the road for a day before the start of the fight, otherwise here is their only choice.

“You guys are really asking for it.” Owen said quietly, originally he had already prepared to fight a defensive battle, and ready to lose everything outside the castle, who thought that the other side will really pick the place, not by the way to bury them, is not to let down their good intentions.

Such a long period of time is enough for the Goblin General to stand firm in the Devil’s Horn Forest and subdue a number of Devil’s Horn Goblins.

The Demon Horn Goblins are also Goblins, facing the Goblin Warriors and Goblin Generals who have a higher level of life, there is not much intention to fight to the death, because this belongs to the internal struggle, and obeying the strongest is also the nature of the Goblins, so the problem faced by the Goblin Generals is not how many subordinates they have, but how many Goblins they can feed.

Even if the kobolds are so hungry that they can eat rotting plants, they are not worms after all, and if they want to last, they still need to have a proper food source.

The problem is that kobolds simply do not have the talent to farm, even grazing will not, in addition to gathering hunting, there is only plunder.

But the magic corner of the forest is a special situation, there is no object of plundering, outside the forest is there, the problem is that the closest is the territory of the Lord of the Devil, as for the other human territories are far away from the point, for which the kobold general some headaches.

The kobold general is now in charge of all the magical creatures under the Lord Demon King, but it hasn’t forgotten that all of this is given by the Lord Demon King, which means that it can be replaced at any time, because it desperately wants to prove to the Lord Demon King that it is capable of doing so.

Luckily, the opportunity came, after receiving the order from the Lord Demon King, the Kobold General excitedly blew his horn, and countless pairs of cunning eyes opened in the dark forest of the Demon Horn, and the Kobolds began to gather.
