A convoy moved slowly along the wide road. More than a dozen well-equipped cavalry lined up in two rows, walking at the front of the team. Following the three carriages were two teams of tall and burly elite soldiers.

    Nicole rode a particularly strong war horse to the front of the team. Her long chestnut hair floated in the wind and her facial features were bright and moving. She was dressed in a bright silver lady''s armor with elegant shape. The close fitting design outlined a graceful curve and carved exquisite patterns on it, which looked beautiful and solid. I thought I could see my sweetheart soon. Nicole''s delicate red lips like petals filled with a faint smile. The softness of women and the heroism of knights were combined to show a moving charm, which attracted the cavalry around to pay attention to her from time to time.

    Bruce looked through the window. His face was a little strange. He didn''t expect that Nicole, who was always shy, would have such a burning side after becoming a knight. She was about to return to Heibao town. Instead of staying in her carriage, Nicole put on tailor-made knight armor and rode on a war horse for fear that others would not know that she was a female knight.

    The knight''s body armor is made of 100 forged fine iron. Even the women''s armor weighs 150 pounds. This weight is nothing to the knight, but the hard armor is uncomfortable to wear. So Bruce would rather stay in his carriage in a comfortable hunting suit.

    This time, Bruce and Nicole escorted master Edwin back to the silver white tower in the kingdom of Al, with a round-trip journey of more than 8000 kilometers, which lasted six months. In fact, it only takes them four months to return to the family territory, but master Edwin asked the forging master of the silver white tower to tailor a female knight armor for Nicole. Therefore, they stayed for nearly two months.

    Bruce is a knight, but he doesn''t know that female knights and knights are completely different creatures. It''s almost home. There''s a beautiful new armor that doesn''t come out. Is that still a female knight?

    A strand of long hair wrapped around Nicole''s white and slender fingers. In six months, chestnut short hair turned into soft and smooth long hair again. When playing with her hair, Nicole will think of the figure of Victor and his courage to face the ogre when she was most desperate. That scene has been deeply engraved in her memory and will never be forgotten.

    "What will Victor look like when he sees me again? That girl Lilia should have become his personal maid? Has he missed me with Lilia?" The towering black castle was clearly visible, but Nicole''s heart was full of tenderness.

    A team of galloping riders interrupted the female Knight''s reverie. Nicole stared and found that it was the family messenger. The three riders also saw Nicole''s team, each showing a happy expression, pulled the reins and ran to the team. Bruce noticed the movement outside and stepped down from the carriage.

    "Lord Bruce! Lord Nicole!" Three tough riders jumped off their horses and saluted Nicole and Bruce.

    "What happened?" Bruce asked, frowning. The messenger with one man and two horses must have urgent information to transmit. He must come straight to the convoy to summon himself and Nicole.

    "The Earl issued a war order asking all the family knights to return to black castle. This is the Earl''s warrant." One of the leading riders handed Bruce a sheepskin scroll.

    Bruce and Nicole looked at each other and saw the dignity and shock in each other''s eyes.

    In order to rule the vast territory, the Lord implemented the enfeoffment system. Since the income of the territory mainly comes from land ownership, the Lords will provide a large piece of land in the property, including farms, villages, villagers, livestock, mills and all other incidental property, as a fief to the vassal. In addition to paying sacrifices to the Lord, the vassal should also train the armed forces to defend his fiefdom. When necessary, he should respond to the Lord''s call and mobilize all his forces to join the Lord''s army. This is the order of war.

    As a knight of York family, Bruce owns 7000 mu of fief, a farm, a village, a horse farm and more than 700 collar people. Bruce not only organized production, but also provided for 20 soldiers and trained all young leaders. Bruce usually served for the family and received a knight pension, but the family would not recruit his soldiers. But once the war order was launched, Bruce must lead all his armed forces, including soldiers and all militias, to join the family army and accept unified command.

    Issuing a war order means that all adult male leaders of the family should be armed to participate in the battle, and the production activities in the territory will be minimized, which will consume the family''s savings for many years. Therefore, the Lord will not easily issue a war order until the moment of life and death.

    Bruce opened the scroll and read it carefully. His face became very serious.

    "Where are my wife and children now?"

    The messenger replied respectfully, "your wife has arrived in Heibao town with all the villagers she belongs to."

    Bruce breathed a sigh of relief. His wife was also a family trainee knight. Even in the face of such a disaster, he would not be as helpless as ordinary people.

    "What the hell happened?" Nicole asks Bruce.

    Although Nicole is also a knight, she has no fief, so she can''t receive the order of war. However, Ni is a disciple of trisley, the great Knight of the family, and also her vassal. At this time, she must follow trisley to fight for the family. Moreover, trisley funded and entrusted Edwin to customize a set of knight armor for her. The cost alone is 7000 kinsol, which shows the close relationship between Nicole and the family.

    "A large group of monsters attacked the whole human horse hill. Baron Baltar''s castle was captured and the Baron died. Viscount kovaan''s leader was captured and the Viscount''s army was completely annihilated. Only the viscount and his knights succeeded in breaking through. The family''s tusk Legion was badly damaged, the Fermat Knights died and the uwar Knights died." Bruce said sadly.

    A sense of grief surged into Nicole''s heart. Feimit and uwar were Knights of York family and officers of the tusk army. Even they were killed, indicating that the tusk army was indeed badly hurt.

    "Let''s go! Go back to Heibao!"

    Bruce jumped on a horse and rushed to the black castle. Nicole and all the cavalry followed, and the bloody setting sun pulled out a long figure behind them. At this moment, if you look down from the sky, you will find that countless teams are converging towards Heibao town. The family war order has been issued, and it is time to unite as one.

    ————————————

    The road in the south of Heibao town was built along the river bank of Heishui. The heavy rain for several days made the road particularly muddy. A team of cavalry galloped to Heibao town. The strong horses snorted and flew with their hooves, bringing up a large amount of sludge.

    Lilia rode on the war horse, her face was pale, her smooth forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, but her bright eyes showed a strong look. Some people collapsed in the face of suffering, while others were sublimated. The journey from Victor to black fort town was more than 20 days, and Lilia was shortened to 10 days. Her tenacious will moved the cavalry guarding her. Heibao town is already in sight. When she comes here, the cavalry around Lilia has changed from more than 20 to more than 10. Not everyone can persist in the high-intensity March.

    Lilia saw the South Gate of Heibao town and the shadow of war. Teams of vehicles loaded with goods drove into Heibao Town, and empty carriages drove out of Heibao town. In the past, the caravans waiting to pay taxes into the city disappeared, and the hotels and horse sheds that served the caravans were also empty. The walls were crowded with archers with crossbows. Looking east along the city wall, countless people are enclosing a gap in the city wall with stones and soil, which was originally reserved for the construction of an auxiliary fort.

    The York family is preparing for a defensive war! Who are their enemies? The endless army of ant people appeared in Lilia''s mind and sank her heart to the bottom of the valley.

    After Lilia showed her identity, she did not receive too many cross examination and distress. The soldiers guarding the city directly told Lilia to go to Heibao to find the clerk, Lord max, who was responsible for receiving the Lord''s family who came to take refuge.

    With the help of Strauss Kahn, Lilia pushed aside the panic crowd and walked to Heibao. The buildings in the trade zone and the vassal district have been demolished, the demolished building materials have been sent to build the city wall, and the open space has been built with dense shacks. It is obvious that the free people outside the city have also taken refuge in the city.

    In the black castle, Lilia met max, the clerk who usually pays attention to elegant manners, dressed in leather armor, waist and hip long sword, and looks ready to go to the battlefield at any time.

    "Madame Lilia, I was about to send a messenger to Baron victor. I didn''t expect you to have arrived." Max was silent for a moment and continued, "was Victor attacked by a monster?"

    "Yes, the monster entered our territory from the entrance of the Everglades, and the hill camp has been captured."

    Lilia bit the bloodless Cherry Lip and entered Heibao town. She already knew that it was not just Victor''s encounter with the monster tide, but an all-round outbreak. In this case, how can the York family send troops to support Victor?

    Lilia calmed down and described the territory to Max in detail.

    "Lord Victor is a true Lord!" Max couldn''t help shrugging when he heard that Victor held on until the end in order to cover the retreat of his people. He did not expect that the seemingly weak Baron Victor had such responsibility and courage.

    When the Lord abandons the territory in the war against monsters and orcs, he loses the legitimate ownership of the territory. Sticking to the territory and protecting the people are the basis for the cooperation between Guanghui church and the nobility. However, there are not many lords who really survive with the territory. For thousands of years, knights have formed blood lines. Even if they lose their Lord status, they don''t have to worry about having no family to take them in. In fact, if it weren''t for keeping the alchemy tower, Victor would have run away. Everyone knows the truth of saving people and losing land.

    "Lord max, I hope the York family can help us eliminate monsters in our territory." Lilia asked hoarsely. Although Victor is not a vassal of the York family, his interests are deeply linked, and the Earl of York has the responsibility to help the Lord eliminate monsters under the title of governor of the man horse hills.

    Max was a little unhappy. The family had reached the critical point of life and death. There was still time to save Baron Victor, and most of the Baron was dead. Without castles and knights, Max didn''t think Victor could survive the ant tide. However, Max has no intention to stimulate Lilia. It''s good to absorb more people at this time. At least the girl in front of her has more than 400 young people. A little armed is good cannon fodder.

    Max pondered and asked, "Mrs. Lilia, how many monsters does Victor have?"

    "There are probably more than 20000, maybe more, I don''t know." Lilya whispered.

    Max smiled bitterly and shook his head. "There must be more than 20000. There is an exit from the Everglades in Victor, and there are three such exits. I tell you the truth, there are more than 70000 monsters pouring out of the other two exits. The monsters entering victor will not be less than 30000, maybe more."

    "Baron polta, who connects the outlet of the swamp, has fallen, the Baron''s castle has been broken, and Baron polta has died. The Baron kovaan, who leads the other outlet, has also been occupied by the monster. The Baron''s army has been completely annihilated by the monster, and the Baron kovaan only escaped with his knights."

    "At present, 30000 monsters are besieging count tellandon''s castle, and Baron Villepin''s castle is besieged by monsters. Therefore, we are not able to destroy Victor''s monsters for the time being." Max said regretfully.

    Looking at the big tears rolling down Lilia''s eyes, Max comforted: "We have asked the Kingdom and the church for help. Bishop Perot and the paladin are coming, and the kingdom will send a knights to support us. At that time, we will eliminate Victor''s monsters. Before that, your people can take refuge in Heibao Town, but they must obey our call."

    "I want to see Mrs. Sylvia. Victor has something important to hand over to her." Lilia said in a deep voice. At this time, she can only place her hope on the brick, although she doesn''t believe that this humble brick can save lives.

    "The countess is very busy now. I can hand over anything for you." Max said coldly. He was getting impatient with Lilia.

    "No!" Lilia got up and walked to the door. Victor told her that bricks should never be given to others.

    Out of the black castle, Lilia finally couldn''t support it.

    How could the York family help Victor when they were in trouble? Maybe this brick was just an excuse for Victor to run for his life. Thinking of this, Lilia sat softly on the ground and cried.

    "Lilia!"

    A familiar voice made Lilia lift her hazy tears. What came into sight was Nicole, a valiant female knight.
