Night Crow Master

Da Da Da!

The horseshoe stepped on the ground one after another, making a dull sound.

Nineteen knights on war horses plus forty soldiers.

There are fifteen barons and viscounts under the command of the Earl of Sivor, and each baron and viscount has ten to fifteen knights.

But even in wars, they will not all be called up.

If the centralization of the country is not enough, the barons can mobilize all their fief knights in the war between the barons, but for their lord-

In the war between earls, the baron would mobilize 30% of his power to the earl, which is already a lot.

If the king summoned the earl, it would be 30% of the 30%.

The so-called vassal is not my vassal.

But the nobles above the earl could not pin all their force on the baron viscount under his command.

The Earl of Sivor naturally has his own knights and soldiers.

There are forty knights directly under his jurisdiction, and the number of soldiers has reached 400 or more.

Moreover, as a force directly under his jurisdiction, these soldiers are all elite legions.

The equipment carried by Light is comparable to the knights under the command of the Baron Viscount.

This time according to Norsk Hovenke, when he went to the location of the "Scarlet Order", he did not and did not bring all the soldiers with him.

If the Scarlet Order has a strong bronze rank or higher, then it is natural that Count Seyvor will deal with it himself.

As for the black iron rank powerhouse, it was also brought by him. This was handled by nineteen knights.

These nineteen knights are all black iron rank.

And those forty soldiers also had strength close to the Black Iron Rank.

And the reason is because of the terms he set up for the soldiers.

If he is loyal enough, he will give them the black iron baptism potion. Once the strength reaches the black iron rank, he can directly become his knights, reward the manor, and become the knights of the fief.

Of course, the fifty knights directly under his jurisdiction are basically his former guards and most loyal subordinates.

However, there are still six knights who were not his guards before, but ordinary soldiers. Count Sivole also kept his promise. If they are loyal enough and capable of breaking through the Black Iron level, they will give potions.

With examples, the credibility is much higher, and being able to become a knight is what a temptation to soldiers who were originally civilians and even slaves?

At the moment, the combat effectiveness of these small legions, even if they rush into another earl’s fortress, is still possible to win, let alone a cult without any reputation before.

The reason why he brought so many soldiers is because of the situation described by his son, Fokker Seyver.

"The group of people who attacked us, like Howenke, are extremely capable."

Just in case.

Although the Crimson Order did not directly attack the baron’s residence and rob, which means that their upper limit of strength is probably only black iron, but—

Maybe some of the Scarlet Order really has a strong bronze rank hidden in it?

After traveling in hiding for a few hours, a group of Sivor also arrived at the site of the Scarlet Order under the guidance of Hovenco.

"This seems to be the village of Bakken, Lord Earl." A knight with a scar on his face drove up to the Earl of Seywall, "Conton to the north."

He was originally from Condon and was familiar with the situation around here.

Looking at the terrain, Seyvor asked his son Fokker to summon the knights:

"My loyal knights, you know the purpose of this time. There is a cult called the Scarlet Order. Among them, there may be black warlocks who use evil rituals to transform the bodies of civilians... And, this time they attacked Fokker, kidnapped all the heirs of the five Baron Viscounts, and demanded the Baron Viscount to pay a ransom..."

Sivor recounted the general situation, some secret things, such as what effects the evil rituals can achieve, may be experiments to make black iron baptism potions, naturally they did not tell them.

And the black warlock?

The sorcerer controls the unique inherent power, which may come from the blood of a powerful creature, or from the influence of another world, or from the power generated by exposure to a powerful unknown force.

Warlocks are born with the ability to cast spells, do not need to rely on spell books, they only rely on their own power to cast spells, no matter whether this power comes from the body, the spirit, or the soul, none of them can cast spells by themselves.

There is no difference between a black sorcerer and a sorcerer, that is, people who have killed aristocrats or committed various evil crimes and are wanted by the royal family, aristocrats, and the church.

I have to say that they have something in common, that is, they are quite evil, ignore the laws of the kingdom, and often kill people cruelly.

By the way, if a sorcerer who desecrated a corpse is found, he will also be designated as a black sorcerer.

Hearing the explanation from Count Seyvor again, the nineteen knights all nodded, expressing their understanding.

"So it is." A middle-aged knight with a beard asked aloud, "Earl, have you determined how many enemies there are?"

Hearing that, Sivor and his son turned to Howenke.

"Yes, maybe the whole village." Hovenke squirmed his throat and swallowed. "When they held the ceremony before, they didn't close the doors and windows at all..."

"Boldly?" The bearded knight frowned. "There may be hundreds of people in a village, are they all cultists?"

He stared at Hovenke: "When you escaped, didn't you see it?"

"No." Huo Wenke shook his head, "I just ran away without paying attention to other things."

To his remark, the bearded knight didn't refute it. In that case, it would be really suspicious to say that there were other things besides running away.

At this moment, the scarred knight said:

"Master Earl, the population of Bakken Village should be around two hundred, and most of them are loggers or hunters."

The lord of the village of Buchan was a knight who belonged to Baron Kortouk, but when the old Kortouk passed away and the younger Baron Kortouk was killed by his uncle, the knight also died. This place is temporarily unowned.

The Scarface Knight told Count Seywall what he knew.

The Earl of Seawall also made a decision:

"After entering Bakken Village, all those close to you will be killed directly."

His faint voice made everyone chill.

But they did not refute, choosing between being killed and killing innocent people, and the result was naturally the latter.

In Bakken Village, a red light flashed in the eyes of nearly sixty villagers at the same time.
