Chapter 76 Driving Tigers to Eat Wolves and Borrowing Swords to Kill People (5K)

"Father, the leader of the gnolls, Iron Fist, sent a message. He said that Lord Sardin in the north of the river has suddenly invaded and is approaching his lair. He is now asking us to help. In addition, Earl Black also sent a letter, asking us to help Iron Fist."

In the bedroom of Lando Manor, Baron Lando was sitting on a chair, slightly absent-minded.His son Alan Lando stood in front of him, reporting to him the information brought by the Gnoll messenger.

Seeing that his father's eyes were distracted, and he didn't listen to his own words, Allen couldn't help coughing lightly, and said, "Father, the messenger of the wolf man is still waiting outside."

Baron Lando came back to his senses, glanced at his son, and said softly: "Let him go, we can't help you with this favor."

Alan was a little surprised when he heard his father's answer. He took a step closer and said softly: "This leader's iron hammer is the black glove of those big men in the city, and the relationship with our manor has always been harmonious. Now our manor is the closest to him. If It seems that it is unreasonable for Earl Black to stand by and watch. After all, he is one of the five lords, and even Marquis Arnold respects him very much."

"There is nothing unreasonable. Your father and I lost to Sardin in a duel. This matter is well known. With Sardin, my Lando family will stay away. Even if we don't help this time, those people can't blame it. Come on us." Baron Lando said in a deep voice.

Hearing his father mentioning the duel, the anger on Allen's face flashed away, and he said with injustice in his tone: "Father, you really plan to surrender to Nalomo Sardin and never look for him again." Is there a chance to wash away this shame?"

Baron Lando looked dejected, shook his head, and said helplessly, "Then what can we do? Son, we can't beat him!"

Allen looked at his father who had no fighting spirit, and immediately showed an expression of hatred for iron and steel, and persuaded again: "Father, how long has it been since Sardin's rise, and what powerful generals can he have under his command? As long as he pours into our manor With all the power, plus those gnolls, it may not be possible to fight Sardin to the death."

Facing his son's persuasion, Baron Lando's expression was numb, and he still refused to meet the emissary of the wolf man.

Last time in Volo City, Lomo's pressure on him was too strong.He still can't forget the way Luomo looked at him before he left.

Allen gradually lost his patience, stomped his feet, and said angrily: "Father, even if you are willing to be a turtle, do you think that Luomo Sardin will let you go?"

His words compared Baron Lando to a shrinking tortoise, and he said it very seriously.

Baron Lando finally looked at his son. He wanted to scold Allen, but in the end he shook his head and said, "He will let our manor go. The fact that he spared my life in that duel is enough to show that he is a kind man. Since he spared my life last time, as long as we don't act rashly this time, he will naturally not attack me."

With that said, Baron Lando stood up, his eyes were firm, he regained the baron's aura, put a hand on Allen's shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Child, you are still young. You don't understand at all. That jackal It is impossible for the human leader Iron Fist to pose any threat to Sardin. Even if we are added, it is still not enough."

Hearing this sentence, Allen finally realized the strength of Saldin, pondered for a while, and said, "Father, if Saldin is really so strong, then we might as well help Saldin kill Iron Fist in turn." If you are afraid of Sardin, why offend him? Since you have offended him, if you want to reconcile with him, you have to put on your own posture. You must not hope for his kindness."

Baron Lando shook his head and said, "This will offend the nobles behind Iron Fist."

"Now we have offended Earl Black if we don't help Iron Fist." Allen emphasized: "Since we have offended, it is better to form an alliance with Sardin directly. In this way, even if those nobles want to target us, they will be afraid .”

Baron Lando narrowed his eyes slightly, put his hands on his son's shoulders violently, leaned forward slightly, looked straight into Alan's eyes and said, "I need you to understand that Baron Lando is me, not you! I Shouldering the important task of continuing the Lando family, it is absolutely impossible to be as reckless as you. Also, don't teach me how to do things, you are not qualified!"

Allen was painfully pinched by his father's pincer-like hands, and feeling Baron Lando's piercing gaze, he couldn't help but succumbed, lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, father, what should we do with the emissary of the jackal who is waiting in the living room? "

"Let him go and tell him that Baron Lando lost the duel and decided to keep his promise and never be an enemy of Sardin for life."

"Understood, father." Allen turned around and left disheartened.

After a while, he returned to Baron Lando's bedroom.

"Father, the Gnoll messenger has already left." Allen said, "But before he left, he was dissatisfied with us, and in a fit of anger, killed a maid. This act was very rude, and I asked the guards to stop him."

Then, he tried to persuade Baron Lando again: "Father, I still want to express my suggestion to you. If we don't plan to help Iron Fist, we might as well directly attack him and help Sardin instead. In this way, maybe we can I got Sardin's favor. I always feel that if the two don't help each other, neither side will get good."

Baron Lando thought about it for a while, and finally shook his head and said, "It's just a maid, let him go. I have already decided not to help each other, so you don't need to say any more."

Allen was silent for a moment, his expression changed a few times, and he finally said, "Yes, father. Then I will let the guards let me go."

Immediately, he bowed to leave and left the bedroom.

After walking out of Baron Lando's small garden, Allen looked in the direction of his father's bedroom, with a lonely expression on his face, and murmured, "Stupid and incompetent father!"

A few days later, the knights and militiamen of Sardin Manor finally came to the No. [-] lair and formed a siege around it.

This lair was originally the former site of Lunn Manor.Lunn Manor was destroyed by the leader of the gnolls, Bloodhammer, last year.In the chaos, the serfs revolted, and Lord Lunn committed suicide because his young daughter was abused by the serfs, and the manor was completely destroyed.

Later, Blood Hammer was killed by Saldin, and Iron Fist, the leader of the gnolls, moved to this Lunn Manor.

At this moment, Luomo rode his beloved date chestnut horse and came to supervise the battle outside Lunn Manor in person.

These days, the knights of Sardin Manor have swept across the entire wolf man group in the southeast corner of the Volo Valley, constantly advancing their previous battle plan.

The No. [-], No. [-], and No. [-] gnoll lairs were taken by them in turn.

Among them, although the No. [-] wolf man is not strong overall, he likes to wander around the mountains like a monkey, so it is difficult to gather them and wipe them out.

In this regard, Nicholas' approach is very simple, that is to set fire to the mountain.

It was the crisp autumn and dry weather, when the mountain fire started, and countless gnolls died in the fire.The rest crossed the mountains and fled the Voro Valley overnight.

And the leader of the No. [-] lair, One-eyed Roshan, is powerful, and it is an absolutely tough battle.

Nicholas played a very crucial role in that battle. According to Lomo's old strategy against Baron Nora, he sent Yale to deliberately provoke One-eyed Roshan, lure him into the encirclement, and then use massive arrow rain to kill One-eyed Roshan. Shot into a hedgehog.

Even so, the Knights fought a bloody battle with the one-eyed Roushan who was covered in arrows for more than half an hour.

During this period, if Kasif hadn't contributed his powerful thorny entanglement technique, Nicholas and others might not be able to easily take it down.

In the end, Cyclops Roshan was captured alive and tied between two big trees with more than a dozen cowhide bands.

Even in such a fierce battle, Luo Mo never came in person.However, today he appeared on the battlefield.

Nicholas stood beside Luomo, and said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency, you don't actually need to come in person. Although Iron Fist, the leader of the No. [-] gnolls, has a loud name, his actual ability is not as good as that of One-eyed Roshan. Vincent, me, and Brother Louis Two, we can definitely take him down."

"It's okay, just pretend that I'm not there, and attack according to your pre-plan." Luo Mo smiled and said, "I have only one request, that I can't kill Iron Fist, but I have to capture it alive. If necessary, I will do it myself."

"Obey, my lord!" Although Nicholas didn't understand why Iron Fist and One-eyed Roshan were spared, he still bowed to Luomo without any hesitation.

He gathered the crowd, felled trees to make bumpers, equipped the knights with spears and spears, and began to prepare for an attack on Lunn Manor.

This time, the wolf man's lair is a human manor, and the defense measures are relatively complete, so it was relatively difficult to break through.

However, although the jackals are physically strong, they are not good at archery. In the battle of defending the city, their advantage is not obvious.

Soon, the equipment for the siege was ready.

The scouts from the Military Intelligence Bureau who were sent out to investigate also came back a few and reported the situation near Baron Lando's estate to Lomo and Yale.

These scouts originally belonged to the knight order, but now they form their own system.Yale is their immediate superior.

Knowing that Baron Lando did not send troops to rescue in the end, Nicholas was finally relieved and began to prepare for the final siege battle.

This was the first siege of Sardin Manor, and Lomo let Nicholas carry out the final mobilization while he watched silently from the sidelines.

In his mind, Gnolls could only be regarded as hounds and ospreys in the Volo Valley.The real enemies are the great lords hiding behind the Wolf man.

These days, his troops have almost swept the southeast corner.From the Stone Puppet Mountain on the border of the Volo River Valley, it went directly to the Lando Wharf.

On such a large piece of land, there are at least four magic iron mines being mined by Black Rock City.

In addition, there are three magic crystal mines, and four jade forests belong to the five lords of Wuluohecheng.

These mines are rich in various ores that Lomo needs, such as iron ore, shadow crystals, etc. Each mine is valuable, but the surrounding gnolls never dare to infringe on it.

On the contrary, these jackals are like the guards of these mines, killing the idlers and small lords around them, and guarding this land loyally.

Of course, facing the properties of these great lords, Luo Mo did not dare to act rashly.He has a strong sense of politics, and he is very clear about which forces can be moved and which ones cannot be moved for the time being.

However, those in charge of these mines did not interfere with Lomo's military operations.After all, Viscount Alexis was responsible for Luomo's plan to surrender the Gnoll.

With the involvement of these great lords, although Lomo cleaned up the wolf man, all he got was some cultivated fields.

But for Luomo, these cultivated fields are enough. After all, the area is large enough, several times larger than the land on the north bank of his own.As long as there is an opportunity to establish a base in the south of the Volo River, that is a huge leap.

Moreover, a lot of resources were also obtained from the wolf man's lair.Over the past few days, Old Barron, with Pope, the former mayor of Shaker Town and now the civil affairs steward of Sardin Manor, has been organizing and recording the spoils.

The specific figures will have to wait until after the war to have an accurate report.

Generally speaking, although it was not possible to clear those mineral deposits in this campaign, it was a bit regrettable.But other aspects have already been rewarded.

Today's attack is the last battle against the Wolf man.After this battle, the previously set military plan will be completely completed, and there will be a good explanation for Viscount Alexis.

But for Luomo, what he wants is far more than that, and a real plan is brewing.

This plan is related to Baron Lando.Once successful, it may be the most valuable return since the wolf man was cleared.

He was thinking about the feasibility of the next plan, and Nicholas' "attack" disrupted his thoughts.

Lomo watched as the knights and militiamen under his command charged towards the Len Manor with howls like scourges, and a bloody battle began.

Under the momentum created by the previous few battles, the jackals in Lunn Manor did not make any effective resistance at all, and soon fell.

The gate was knocked open by a giant log, and the members of the Knights, led by Vincent, Louis and others, rushed inside.

The jackals fled one after another, and a muscular jackal like a chariot rushed out of Lunn Castle.He was wearing two huge iron gloves, which looked extremely powerful, and they were the leader Iron Fist.

The Louis brothers and Vincent immediately stepped forward and began to attack Iron Fist.

However, Iron Fist seemed a little uninterested in fighting. He was not interested in these three people, and instead yelled in the direction of Luomo: "Sardin! I saw you above the castle! Do you dare to fight me! "

When Luo Mo heard this, he was immediately happy, and said loudly: "Of course!"

Originally, he wanted to catch Iron Fist alive, so he happened to do it himself at this time.

With the sound of 'da da' horseshoes, Luo Mo calmly entered the manor and stood in front of Iron Fist.

"It's agreed, you can't use magic!" Iron Fist raised his glove and said loudly.

"We human duels didn't say that magic was forbidden." Luomo smiled.

"Now it's a Jackal who is challenging you to a duel!"

Iron Fist roared, clenched his fist with his right hand, and slammed towards Luo Mo who was on the horse.

But before he got close to Luomo, the ground under his feet trembled suddenly, and several thick vines rose from the ground, directly entangled Iron Fist's ankle.

Caught off guard by Iron Fist, he lost his center of gravity and fell heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

A petite figure rushed over and stood in front of Luo Mo.It was Calcieff.

Seeing that the duel was broken, Louis and the others were afraid that Calcieff would be hurt, so they immediately stepped forward to fight Iron Fist again.

Luomo got off his horse, walked up to Kasif, and said, "He is fighting me, what are you messing with?"

Calcife looked up at Luomo, waving her arms and making several gestures.

"You said that if I don't use magic, I will lose to this tycoon? Maybe my life will be in danger?" Luomo laughed suddenly.

These days, he has somewhat understood some of Calcieff's dumb words.

Calcieff nodded heavily, with a worried look on his face.

Luo Mo laughed and said, "You don't think I'm a fool who would rather be beaten to death than use magic. Other people's rules will always be bullshit to me."

Calcieff blinked, thinking that Luo Mo didn't seem to be a fool, and felt a little embarrassed.

Luo Mo patted Kassif on the head, and said softly: "However, thank you for your concern for me, I will always remember it."

Calcifer felt a sweetness in her heart, and involuntarily held Luomo's big warm hand.

With the overwhelming advantage of the Saldin Manor troops, the battle soon came to an end.

The iron fist was exhausted by Ivan, and then tied up with a cowhide band.

"My lord, according to your order, Iron Fist has been captured alive by us." Nicholas walked to Lomo's side and said with a bow.

"Quickly clear the battlefield, and let the civil affairs personnel come over to hand over the spoils. Bind Iron Fist and One-Eyed Roshan together, and I will personally question them." Luo Mo nodded to everyone with satisfaction, and ordered.

In the dense forest not far from Lunn Manor, the leader of the Wolf Man, Cyclops and Iron Fist, were respectively tied to two thick tree trunks.

Cyclops' figure seemed particularly imposing, almost twice the height of Lomo.

Lomo stood in front of them like a child.But Cyclops looked at Luo Mo with fear in his eyes.

"My lord, what do you want us to do by leaving us alive, please tell us." The Cyclops said with a flattering expression.

He was blind in one eye and the other was bloodshot.Arrow shafts were stuck all over his body, and the hair on the wolf's head was messy and bloodstained.Apparently been tortured a lot these days.

Although the other Iron Fist had just been captured not long ago, seeing what happened to the Cyclops, there was no longer a rebellious look in his eyes.

Luo Mo looked at the two of them, smiled and said: "The thing I want to order is very simple. That is to let you attack Lando Manor, kill all the members of the Lando family, drive out their servants, and then move the manor to white land."
