Riding and Slashing

Chapter 188 You will always have to pay back

"How about we let the Noldor go and rob?"

At this moment, Amy said the same words as Wendy Erfu in the lord's hall of White Hart Castle...

"Aha! Miss Amy has to be happy! I say let the elves rob them..."

An Dongjia stood behind Ansen, gestured her thumbs, then poked her head out of the door of the lord's hall, and then came back: "Huh... Fortunately, Sir Roland is not here...".

You can't say things like robbery in front of Sir Roland, otherwise it's easy to be talked about by him.

Since the last time he escorted hundreds of old people over in Seren Meath, Roland seemed to have contracted a common problem among old people - he liked to chatter.

It has only been a few days since An Dongjia came to White Hart Castle, and Roland has already said several times - such as swear words, such as bad habits such as not paying for fruit from a street stall that can't be changed.

Things like robbery are not in line with the code of conduct of the paladins—even if they incite the Noldor elves to rob, Roland will definitely continue to tell these young people, "Go the right way, don't think too much about it." Do it crookedly, otherwise the citizens will learn bad things and lead to more bandits in the territory, and Goddess Astalia will be unhappy" etc...

In fact, Sir Roland's trivial thoughts are basically reasonable, and it is usually difficult for several young people to refute, but no one can stand this kind of nagging like an old father...

So when encountering things that are not very legal, everyone will tacitly avoid Sir Roland.

Of course, it is also possible to change the name and tell Roland...

For example, Sarah directly changed the term now—because the lord used to tell her to "pay attention to words", she now has a lot of experience in explaining terms.

"Ahem, this is not robbery! If Sir Roland asks, tell him that it was 'the allies took the initiative to help us regain the strategic materials that belonged to us'..."

Sarah looked around, and everyone present nodded in unison.

"Then...that's the end of the matter? But...do we want to help...that is the first brigade of the Knights of the Ebony Gauntlets, with more than 300 people, and the fighting power is quite strong..."

Amy propped her chin, looking a little hesitant.

"These are all Noldor Rangers. They don't need our help to deal with the Knights of the Ebon Gauntlet..."

Sarah said: "Anson, those Noldor rangers have a good relationship with you, go and talk to them."

"But your lord hasn't come back yet, and we can't command those Noldor rangers... The people of White Hart Castle are already a little uneasy about their existence. Let them loot nearby—I'm afraid it will cause panic..."

Anson was also a little hesitant.

"I don't think it matters. The Noldor elves attack the Knights of the Ebony Gauntlets—isn't this normal? Wasn't our embarrassment how to drive the Knights of the Ebony Gauntlets away? It's unreasonable not to let them enter the city now." , but if they see so many Donodo rangers in the city, the consequences will be even more serious!"

Amy stood up: "Also, so many Gatum horses! If we can get those horses, we can train a large number of cavalry before the autumn harvest! Anyway, the Knights of the Ebony Gauntlets don't ride horses, so it's a waste in their hands... ..."

Everyone nodded in agreement, and even Anson felt that those Gatumas really had to be obtained...

In fact, this matter started when the Knights of the Ebony Gauntlets were persuaded by Li Ang to go to the north of the Noldor Forest to pick up leaks.

The lord had asked Dumbledore, the commander of the first brigade of the Knights of the Ebony Gauntlets, to go to the north of the Noldor Forest, saying that he could prevent the Gatus from getting the Noldor prisoners of war and many Gatumas.

Dumbledore did go, but he didn't get any Noldor prisoners of war. Few of the Gatus who entered the forest could escape the forest alive. Naturally, it was impossible to capture the Noldor elves.

But Dumbledore did get a large number of Gatu warhorses - the horses left behind in the north of the Noldor Forest after Judah the Breaker's troops entered the Noldor Forest.

At that time, only a dozen people stayed outside to guard the horses, and they were easily killed by Dumbledore.

Then those unowned warhorses left at the edge of the forest were successfully taken away by Dumbledore.

However, the supplies brought by the Ebony Gauntlet Knights were already low, and now there are hundreds of horses to feed, and the Cato people will definitely not let it go, and they will probably come after them—in order to avoid fighting hungry, Deng Bullido could only withdraw first with his people.

A few hours ago, the Knights of the Ebony Gauntlets withdrew from the north to the White Hart Castle. They had no supplies at all and hoped to go to the city to purchase food and grass.

But because Anson just brought those two hundred Noldor rangers back to White Hart Castle a few days ago—with the relationship between the Ebon Gauntlet Knights and the Noldor elves, the two sides will definitely fight bloody rivers when they meet...

So Amy didn't let them into town.

Li Ang is not here, it is normal for a girl like Amy not to let the armed forces enter the city.Although the members of the Ebony Gauntlet Knights were a little dissatisfied, they didn't say anything. They camped in a village outside the city, and then went to the surrounding villages to purchase supplies.

But at this time, Amy discovered that the Knights of the Ebony Gauntlets carried a large number of Gatum horses, so she became curious—all members of the Knights of the Ebony Gauntlets fought on foot, and did not ride horses at all.It's normal to bring a few cars to load things, but why do you bring so many horses?
And that's not a small number, that's more than six hundred horses, and they're all first-class war horses!

So Sarah communicated with the Ebony Gauntlet Knights in the past. After learning that it was 'picked up' from the north, Amy, who wanted to help the lord strengthen his strength, couldn't help but move on the spot. Heart.

There are more than 600 war horses, and the market value is about 30 dinars!
If you can get these war horses, you can train a group of cavalry, and you will be able to have the strength equivalent to the duke!

Anyway, the Ebony Gauntlet Knights also picked it up...

Moreover, Amy didn't like the Knights of the Ebony Gauntlet at all—the Knights of the Ebony Gauntlet had been capturing the Noldo elves around White Hart Castle for a long time, causing a lot of trouble for the residents of White Hart Castle, and some Noldor would even attack them. The residents of the surrounding villages of White Hart Castle took revenge on humans.

People in White Hart Castle have always hated these slave catchers. After all, they were the ones who caused the trouble, but these people ran away after slapping their buttocks, and it was the civilians in the surrounding villages who suffered.

In fact, Amy is the same as the lord, she also hopes to gain the trust and friendship of the Noldor - at least this will prevent the residents of White Hart Castle from being attacked by the Noldor elves, and it will also enable White Hart Castle to continue to expand its territory area.

If the Noldor no longer attack the people of White Hart Castle, then White Hart Castle can even extend its territory to hundreds of miles away, both arable land and mineral production can increase significantly, and the population willing to come to settle will also increase .

So Amy planned to let the Noldo rangers go to rob the Knights of the Ebony Gauntlet...

The Noldor have been robbed by the Knights of the Ebony Gauntlet for a long time. This can be regarded as revenge and revenge.Besides, those Gatum horses are also useful to the Noldor rangers-the Noldor elf horses are actually mixed breeds, and getting a large number of Gatum horses will also be of great help to the cultivation of Noldo horses.

So, that night, a force of 200 Noldor Rangers attacked the camp of the Knights of the Ebon Gauntlet by night.

Dumbledore probably had a bad year this year, and was attacked by the Noldor twice in the camp...

But he was indeed an astute commander, and indeed his judgment was quite good. He once again abandoned the camp and led the people away when he was attacked-he knew that they would definitely not be able to defeat two hundred Noldor rangers at night. .

Well, you can't beat it during the day.

So they were chased and killed for dozens of miles by the rangers of the Noldor.

And Amy, An Sen, An Dongjia and others led the soldiers to get all those Gatumas into White Hart Castle...

Because Dumbledore saw the opportunity quickly, the casualties of the Knights of the Ebony Gauntlets were not large, but they encountered even more unlucky things again - the so-called misfortunes never come singly, they just ran into a group in the south of White Hart Castle. The Shinodor Force!
This is Islandil's troops.

Islanduil wanted to talk to Li Ang about how to cooperate in the future. Since the lord was going to rescue the girl rangers, he sent a force to wait for Li Ang to come back fifty miles south of White Hart Castle.

As a result, the ill-fated Knights of the Ebony Gauntlets were flanked back and forth...

But fortunately, Dumbledore met the nobleman again - the lord just came back here at this time.

I don't know if it should be said that Dumbledore was bad luck or good luck in this situation?

Anyway, the two fatal situations Dumbledore faced were caused by White Hart Castle, but Dumbledore did not die both times.

And it was 'saved from danger' by Li Ang twice...

In fact, the lord didn't know what happened at the time. Before meeting Dumbledore, it was Wentleff, who had extremely keen ears, who suddenly said that there seemed to be a lot of sounds of weapons clashing ahead.

A sound like that could only mean one thing—a war.

So the lord asked Vendatil to take the Noldo girls in the team to hide in the woods first, and then cautiously greeted the place where the sound came from.

When Dumbledore saw Leon, tears almost filled his eyes...

Because as soon as the lord's banner appeared, the Noldor who were chasing after him began to retreat.

Dumbledore didn't understand the reason for this, in fact even Leon didn't know the reason.

Only the young Rangers of the Noldor knew for themselves that since Leon's Banner was back, it meant that Vendatyr must also be back.The Noldor rangers attacked the Ebony Gauntlet Knights this time as an unauthorized action, and they will be punished by Vendatil—their teacher is usually very strict...

Anyway, those Gatum horses have already been obtained, and those who should be robbed have already been robbed. Those ebony gauntlet knights who are hated by the Noldo and the troops of the Aino family are dealing with them, and they are probably dead.That being the case, of course they should run away quickly to avoid being taught a lesson by the teacher.

As soon as they retreated, Dumbledore wisely formed a circle with the remaining hundred or so people on the spot, and did not run away anymore.

Afterwards, Dumbledore himself waved their 'Iron Fist' banner and signaled to Li Ang's cavalry that he planned to wait for Li Ang to come to support him.

This decision barely stabilized the ground - not because of how powerful the Knights of the Ebony Gauntlets were, in fact they had already been defeated.

They survived only because the troops of the Ainuo family also retreated a little, and did not attack them desperately.

In fact, the troops of the Aynor family were a little confused—they just helped them temporarily because they saw a group of Noldor Rangers chasing and killing the Knights of the Ebon Gauntlets.

Now that the main force of the chase has retreated, the Knights of the Ebony Gauntlets have also formed a circular formation. Of course, they will not increase their attack power at this time-they want to avoid losses as much as possible.

The Twilight Knight who led the team was the confidant who had always been by Islanduil's side. He knew very well that His Highness had always been unwilling to let them attack. His Highness Islanduil would feel distressed if the loss was too great.

As a result, it was as if the two Noldor troops were afraid of Leon's banner. The lord's golden griffin banner had just arrived on the battlefield, and the war stopped!

Dumbledore is now full of fear of Leon - the Noldor Ranger army behind him retreated directly after seeing Leon's flag and disappeared; while the other Noldor army retreated 200 meters, and it seemed that they did not intend to do anything up...

Is Lord Li Ang so powerful in the eyes of the Noldo elves?
He only brought forty or fifty cavalry!
Can this scare away the three 400 Noldo troops?

Dumbledore would not suspect that Leon colluded with the Noldor elves. After all, Leon himself raised an 'elven slave', and last time Li Ang did save him from the Noldor elves...

Besides, given the hostile attitude of the Noldo elves towards humans, Dumbledore did not believe that any human could command the Noldo's army.

Thus, Dumbledore, who was rescued again, faced Leon almost with a pilgrimage attitude...

He thought it was because Leon had built up a huge reputation with his fighting power in White Hart Castle—after all, the Bacchus said that Leon was a man-eating monster, so Dumbledore thought that Leon was probably the same in Noldor's eyes...

To make the Noldor elves so 'feared', wouldn't that be worthy of the evaluation of the great devil?
"Master Li Ang, it is my luck to meet you again!"

Dumbledore didn't even dare to lift his head in front of the lord, and he was not so restrained when he met the king-the devil in the eyes of the enemy is equal to the hero of his country.

"Eh? Dumbledore, didn't you go to the north? Why did you appear here?"

The lord doesn't even know that his image in Dumbledore's eyes is basically equated with the Great Demon King. He is still wondering, why is Dumbledore so courageous?How dare you come here to trouble the Noldor?

Dumbledore was about to cry: "Lord Leon, your advice was indeed correct. We got a lot of Gatum horses in the north...but just now, those horses were snatched by Noldo's troops!"

"Ah? Noldo? Stolen Gatuma from you?"

Li Ang wondered if he had an auditory hallucination: "You mean, the Knights of the Ebony Gauntlets were robbed by the Noldor? Sure enough... they always have to pay it back..."

This is so embarrassing...

The Knights of the Ebony Gauntlets have always been dedicated to robbing the Noldo, and they have always been proud of it, and they even call themselves the 'Light of Humanity'...

"It's really a shame to say that..."

With a sad face, Dumbledore looked at the Noldor troops who gradually retreated into the forest and disappeared: "Master Leon, how did you do it?"

"Do what?"

Li Ang also glanced at the Noldor troops, and he could realize that they might be Islandil's troops.

"Why do the Noldor fear you so much? They retreat when they see your banner!"

Dumbledore pointed to Leon's griffin banner.

The lord rolled his eyes, and pretended to smile deeply: "Dumbledore, I'm afraid you shouldn't think about this now, right? How much did you lose when you led the team out this time?"

Dumbledore was stunned for a moment, obviously he didn't expect Li Ang to turn the topic to loss.

But he immediately understood what the lord meant: "Master Li Ang, you are right in reminding me, I'm afraid I won't be able to go back to the cliff..."

There are less than 100 Dumbledore's men left now, but no loot has been obtained, and all the mercenaries are gone.

Originally, they had obtained a large number of Gatum horses in the north, and the loss of their own team was not large, so they could have an explanation when they went back.

But now, the Knights of the Ebony Gauntlets have lost more than half of their main force in his hands—it was still beaten like this by Noldo.

As the leading knight commander, if Dumbledore dared to return to Cliff Bay like this, he would have to become a slave just after he returned—the Knights of the Ebony Gauntlets have always called themselves the "Noldor Killer", "the Light of Humanity" ' and the like are all over!

The whole knight order will become a laughing stock... Maybe it will be disbanded.

"In that case, Dumbledore, you'd better send someone back to report that you captured many Noldor girls at a huge loss, but were robbed by the Cato people—otherwise you must be fine. Live a good life. It is better to be robbed by the Catus than to be robbed by the Noldor, at least your Knights will not become a laughing stock... Go north and go back to Cliff Bay, you know."

The lord thought about it for a while, and came up with an idea again.

"Master Li Ang, you are right..."

Dumbledore felt that the lord was indeed his nobleman, and every suggestion he gave was on point.

Perhaps the relatively large loss is not necessarily a bad thing. Now there are less than 100 people, at least there is no need to worry about the supply problem... The lord even kindly distributed a lot of food from his own cavalry to Dumbledore. profitable.

So Dumbledore left this sad place with the remnants of the defeated generals, and turned to the north—he was going to make a circle around the north, hook up the Catus, and lure the Catus to come to the border for a while, which is like' Robbed by the Gatus'.

"Master Li Ang, you should know that we hate the Ebony Gauntlet Knights..."

Vendatil, who had returned to the team, expressed a little emotion towards the lord.

"Of course I know. But without them, there would be other knights with ebony shields, ebony armor, or darkwood gauntlets coming to the Noldor Forest... Vendatil, a small group of self-made The Noble Ones caused the hostility between the two races, not the Knights of the Ebon Gauntlet. They are nothing more than enforcers, and it would be good for them to continue to exist - if they were taken out completely, it would certainly cause some panic, On the contrary, it will bring stronger enemies to the Noldor Forest..."

Li Ang said to Wen Datil seriously.
