Chapter 33 The Story of the Battle Fortress

In a separate area in the Knight Training Ground, a tall middle-aged man in his early thirties stood in the middle. With a long sword in hand, he slashed at a few wooden stakes made of Rock Iron Wood from all directions, making clunking sounds.

From time to time, he would let out a muffled groan to vent the pressure in his chest.

It was Baron Gary!

However, it was obvious that he was not in a good mood at the moment.

“Damn Fire-feathered Eagle, don’t be arrogant. Sooner or later, I’ll think of a way to skin you alive!”

“Pluck your feathers!”

“Skin you!”

“F*cking bird.”

As he slashed, vulgar words came out of his mouth in a loop. One slash for each sentence.

His old butler rushed in from the entrance of the training ground. When he saw his lord here, he quickly walked over.

As the old butler Peru approached, Gary took a deep breath and tried his best to digest his emotions. After calming down, he said, “Peru, what’s the matter?”

Looking at the wooden stake with several sword marks, Peru was secretly shocked. As his master’s considerate butler, he could feel that his master was in a bad mood. He hurriedly said, “Master, Damis just sent a message. He said that it’s suspected that the lord of Young Eagle Town has brought a caravan to our territory.

“Is it true?”

“There should be no mistake. According to Damis, the leader looked to be in his forties. He was clearly the centerpiece of the caravan. In addition, Tucker and Rylei had once said that their father was about to return. Therefore, I think it’s very credible.”

“The feudal lord of Young Eagle Town, I think his name is Reiter Green? He’s a mage…” Gary panted as he placed his hands together and stood on the ground with his sword.

“Yes, he’s an earth mage. I heard from Damis that the caravan from Young Eagle Town brought the corpse of a Flame Lion. There are also scars left behind by the Earth Thrust spell on its body. Other than the lord of Young Eagle Town, it’s unlikely that it’s the work of an outsider.” The old butler helped to analyze.

In just a few seconds, Gary’s breathing calmed down and his eyes flickered. The first thing he thought of was that perhaps it could help him solve the problem of the Fire-feathered Eagle? “Father once said that anyone who has made meritorious contributions on the battlefield and even became a noble with this can’t be underestimated!” Gary thought to himself. Therefore, he did not doubt the strength of the Baron of Young Eagle Town who was about to arrive. His father, Rocky, had sparred with the noble knights around him many times after he retreated from the battlefield. His results were fruitful.

In the same realm, the chances of winning were more than 90%! This was the result achieved under his father’s old age and hidden illness.

“Then, what kind of strength does this Young Eagle Town’s lord have?” Gary narrowed his eyes slightly. He did not expect too much. He was already satisfied if he could reach his father’s level.

Making a prompt decision, Gary put away his sword and placed it on his waist. He quickly ordered, “Peru, go to the Knights’ Training Ground. Tell all Grade 1 knights to stop training and be on standby. Prepare for battle!”

Thinking that it might cause a misunderstanding, Gary added, “I’m preparing for the battle with the Fire-feathered Eagle. I’ll go to welcome the lord of the Young Eagle Town who has already arrived. Remember to instruct the chef, Melanie, to process the ingredients and prepare a sumptuous meal.

“And get those male servants and maidservants to clean the hall again. If I saw any stains later, they would be punished with a month’s salary! Of course, if they do well, they will get a month’s bonus!”

After thinking for a while and feeling that there was nothing else to add, Gai Lei left and went in the direction of his mount.

“Don’t worry, Master. I’ll definitely inform them and personally supervise them.” The old butler was not slow-witted. He vaguely guessed something and became more energetic.

He had been in the Battle Fortress since the previous Patriarch was in charge of Dama Town.

The Battle Fortress was a name given by the previous family head to commemorate his iron-blooded life on the battlefield. He had a strong sense of belonging and honor for the Battle Fortress.

Recently, the harassment of the Fire-feathered Eagle had caused the people in the territory to panic. Be it the Master or the servants of the Battle Fortress, they often had worried expressions. He did not feel good seeing this.

This feudal lord who came for the first time was once a soldier at the canyon defense line, just like the old patriarch.

He had a feeling that it would definitely bring about a turn of events and properly deal with the recent big problem.

“The Fire-feathered Eagle that had destroyed a large piece of land and hundreds of magic plants, your good days are coming to an end.”

The old butler held onto his beautiful fantasy and walked to the back of the Knight Training Ground with a smile on his face.

With two personal guards, Gary rode a black-hoofed horse to the bustling town. Dama Town had developed earlier. Even though it was five times larger than Young Eagle Town, he still easily found Reiter and the others. The knights in armor were uniform. A mage with extraordinary aura was at the front of the convoy.

The long carriages were loaded with a dazzling array of goods. In the eyes of the townsfolk, they were especially eye-catching. Traveling merchants usually traveled alone, but they would not have such an attitude and scale. Only noble caravans would do this. Most of the commoners in Dama Town were wearing thick cotton-padded jackets. Looking from afar, some people took a look and lowered their heads to busy themselves with the work in their hands.

A small number of people came forward enthusiastically with all kinds of goods to discuss the exchange.

The people who came to trade only exchanged for some ordinary goods such as wild honey, cheese, dried fish, and so on. The small commoners could not take out much wealth. They only wanted something new. Usually, noble caravans were rarely willing to pass through Dama Town, not to mention that they rarely traded with small commoners.

Not only did Young Eagle Town do this, but the dried fish, shrimp, crabs, and other aquatic products it carried were also very popular. The reason was that it was very difficult to see lakes in the plains here, especially the slightly larger lakes. The Sun Lake in the nearby area was unique.

Tucker, Kurts, the Apprentice Knights Tru, Miguel, and the accompanying squires were all focused on maintaining order. Reiter took in everything. The purpose of traveling through the town and selling ordinary goods was not for this bit of be profit. This behavior had been going on for three to four years under Rylei’s advocacy. According to Rylei, this is the way to maintain popularity, effective and have the highest cost price. There were not many people in Young Eagle Town. As long as they maintained a certain degree of exposure, they could always attract outsiders.

They might be wanderers who could not survive in a village.

They could be the victims of persecution, or they could have heard of Young Eagle Town by word of mouth. In a desperate situation, it was better to seek refuge in a noble’s territory to be homeless. Especially since Young Eagle Town had reliable strength. It was also the area where Sun Lake was located.

than In the past, without the lord presiding over it, the effect was not good, but Rylei believed that there would definitely be different changes in the future! His eyes lit up as he noticed that some people were quietly looking at his father. They were whispering and discussing.

He had spread the news on purpose. His father was a Grade 2 Mage, a baron who had retired from the battlefield-Reiter Green! Other than that, the other purpose of Rylei’s actions was to take advantage of the situation. However, he never had high expectations. Perhaps someone would take an item of unknown origin and trade with them? If not for these two goals, every time a caravan went out, they would go straight to the castle after arriving at a territory. Trading with the lord was the fastest way to save trouble. After all, the commoners in town were all vassals and assets of the lord.
