Chapter 50 The Rights and Obligations of the Death Lord
The old witch stayed in the castle to study the pus-infected corpses of the children of the forest, while Evita led people to the stables of the castle.

In front of the stables, a group of knights were waiting beside the stables, waiting for the attendants to lead their war horses out of the stables.

Ivita counted and found Tavel's middle-aged knight, followed by seven knights, and behind them were 45 armed infantrymen and more than 200 peasant soldiers.

At present, in the castle, there are only more than 120 guards, these troops have become extremely important.

It's impossible for Ivita, let them die.

Ivita walked to the side of the Tavel knight, and Tavel arrogantly refused to look at him.

Ivita said: "Knight Tavel, let your servants go to the stables to feed your horses. We will have a tough battle soon. My people saw an army belonging to a foreign race in the forest. You chase it out now. It just brings bad luck."

"My suggestion is that we wait for work at leisure."

"We stay at the castle."

"Let the peasants retreat to the castle, and let the peasants in your village hide in the manor, or take refuge in our castle."

Tavel Knight looked at Ivita with a sneer. "You are a mere explorer, why are you giving orders here?"

"Your men saw an army in the forest? By you explorers?"

"The greatest victory can be obtained by chasing the remnants of the soldiers, and the greatest military exploits can only be obtained by chasing the defeated enemies. You people are not knights, so you don't understand these things."

"The way explorers don't work on the battlefield."

Ivita frowned. He really didn't have much qualifications. A person with qualifications can easily convince others by talking about examples of wars he participated in before.

But now, with his strange identity and too young age, he couldn't convince a middle-aged knight.

The Tavel knight uttered wild words to Ivita. "Go away, explorer."

"I'm going to hunt down those bastards who killed Moluo, my comrade-in-arms. I grew up with Moluo and learned swordsmanship together. I can't accept... I can't accept that he died like this!"

Evita is troubled.

This idiot can't persuade himself.

Looking at Tavel's red eyes, Ivita tried her best for the last time: "If you chase it out, you will definitely die."

"The opponent has regrouped troops in the forest..."

The Tavel knight drew out the knight sword suddenly, and slashed at Ivita.

'when~'

The black wolf's sword intercepted the Tavel knight's sword.

Hei Lang felt that the opponent didn't use all his strength, and this sword was just a deterrent.

However, this also annoyed Heilang. "Tavel, don't go too far."

Ivita glanced at the crossed swords and knight swords in front of him, without any fear. "Tavier, are you going to swing your sword at your benefactors?"

Tavel's face changed several times, he knew that he still owed Ivita a favor.

If it weren't for Ivita, he would have fallen into the poison of the children of the forest.

Tavel himself knew that he was wrong, "I will kill anyone who dares to stop me."

His attendant pulled the horse, and the Tavel knight rode on it.

He rode directly and left here, and the troops followed.

Ivita frowned and said to the troops: "Think about your family members, everyone."

"I assure you that the army of the children of the forest outside has been regrouped. You are going out this time to die."

"If the standing army dies outside, it can be said to be the glory of soldiers, but there are still many of you who are just farmers who were recruited by the feudal system."

"Your wives and children are still waiting for you at home. Don't leave the castle to die!"

Some peasant soldiers hesitated.

The lord of Ambrose can conscript the serfs in the territory for ten days of war labor every year.

In other words, these farmers can only be recruited for ten days a year.

This is the result of the fact that Ambrose's serf system was already too weak.

When Ivita said this, some serfs who were originally reluctant hesitated.

Many people stayed where they were and did not leave with the troops.

These serfs had never been trained for war, and they were actually unwilling to follow Tavel out to chase the enemy.

It's just that they have no way to resist the feudal duty call of the lord.

Now, when they saw Ivita, who seemed to be the actual controller of the barony, many of the more daring serfs really wanted not to follow the army after speaking like this.

Knight Tavel turned back and sneered. "Those who want to stay are nothing but cowards."

"All the spoils this time belong to you. When those children of the forest fled, they took away a lot of things."

Wealth moves people's hearts.

When he said this, some serf soldiers who originally wanted to stay wanted to follow him.

In the end, there were more than [-] peasant soldiers left behind.

That's not bad either.

In this way, the number of soldiers in the castle was close to 200.

Although in terms of quality, it may not be very high.

The service period of the peasant soldiers is indeed only ten days, but if the children of the forest are really besieging the city, it is impossible for them to leave the castle and return to their hometown.

More than 50 of these individuals are at least healthy and strong adult males.

They stay in the castle, the role is still great.

Ivita still won some soldiers to stay.

He asked Raleigh, as well as the steward [Acaranda], to arrange some suitable positions for these soldiers on the castle wall.

Then, he asked the black wolf to check how many bows and arrows, how many arrows, how many armors, and how many grains were left in the castle.

If the children of the forest really besiege the city in the future, these will be life-saving things.

Ivita took Brandon back to the second floor of the castle, called the old witch, and came to the baron's study.

In the study, Ivita sat on the wooden stool with a back that the baron used to sit on, and said, "Branton, can you tell me if we can write to Grand Viscount Ambrose in the name of the Morrow family, requesting He supports us?"

Branton said at once, "Of course, my lord."

The old witch was outspoken. "It was possible in the past, after all, this is the country of the Grand Viscount, but not now."

"Because... You see, the Viscount Kingdom seems to be divided into two factions now, and they can't take care of themselves. I think it is precisely because of this that the children of the forest dare to appear again."

Evita frowned. "What level of professional is that ancient soul?"

"At most the third level, just like me." The old witch said: "Because of the existence of the thousand-year-old fire, it is impossible for the children of the forest to display power beyond the third level in this place."

"Although they are all third-level professionals, everyone is good at different things, and their strengths cannot be the same."

Branton suddenly became curious. "So what are you good at?"

The old witch was blunt and said with some pride: "I am the best at running away."

Brandon's eyes widened, he looked at Ivatar, and then at the old witch. "this……"

Evita sighed. "Since you can only use the power of the third level at most, then I don't have to worry too much."

The old witch said: "Your Majesty, are we really going to fight a tough battle with the children of the forest here? That should have been the responsibility of the nobles and city councils of Viscount Ambrose's independent country. What does this have to do with us!"

"The Hearthstone Witch." Ivita looked at her seriously. "Rights are equal to duties."

"Those who enjoy the rights must fulfill the corresponding obligations."

"A lord who abandons his territory and his people will only be abandoned by his own people."

"If I leave here now, the barony we finally obtained will leave us."

After hearing this, Branton immediately felt that Iveta was a very responsible royal family.

Sure enough, he was not wrong to entrust the territory to such a person.

The Hearthstone Witch rolled her eyes. On the surface, she didn't listen at all.

However, at this moment, she suddenly thought of Hearthstone, and for the first time, she had the idea of ​​returning to Hearthstone.

She wanted to go back and see what it had become like after so many years.

But soon, she stopped thinking about it.

They are witches, and they are at home everywhere!
Ivita asked the old witch, "What is the thousand-year-old fire, you have been mentioning it before, and the children of the forest are also very afraid of the thousand-year-old fire."

The old witch replied: "Thousand-year fire, this involves the past history of Ambrose."

"All I know are legends, but I can tell you about them."
