Phoenix Grand Lord

According to "custom", Rowe did not invite Brother Fields to dinner.

Even if he invited him, Elder Fils would probably find it difficult to swallow the offer - the "big cakes" that Rowe had drawn were enough to make him very satisfied.

Brother Fils wrapped himself tightly in his silver-threaded monastic robe and, along with his monastic attendants, hurriedly set out on his journey home, facing the colorful light of the sky that looked like wings of fire.

He wanted to report Nathanos's unusual movements in Red Mountain Territory to Bishop Red Jade as soon as possible. Although this had not happened yet, he believed it would happen soon.

The sooner he reports, the more it demonstrates his initiative.

He also needs to seek the power of part of the church army from the bishop.

Unfortunately, the war in the Sunset Mountain Territory has tied up 90% of Bishop Hong Fei's church army forces. Even if the bishop could allocate him some troops, it is estimated that there would be less than 30 to 50 people.

But Brother Fils didn't care - after all, the one who really had to charge into battle was Lord Lowe, who could always perform miracles in desperate situations.

As for Rowe, he was stroking the angel of war emblem flag that Brother Fels had left on the oak table.

A cold smile flashed across his lips.

The bricks and tiles of the monastery and the achievements of the monks were nothing but empty promises. All he wanted was the flag embroidered with golden angel wings.

To put it simply, Luo Wei's strategy is very simple, which is to use the flag of the church army to fight in Hongshan Territory.

Of course, first of all, Red Mountain Territory was raided by "Nathanos", and it was raided more than once.

When the Red Mountain Territory was in great trouble because of "Nathanos", the William Knights who came to attack Marigold would most likely take the opportunity to impersonate "Nathanos".

In this way, Lowe could catch the Knights William disguised as Nathanos in the guise of the "Church Army".

Even if the Knights William did not use the name "Nathanos", based on their sneak attacks, they could be labeled as Nathanos and attacked without any mistake!

If Rowe's bell-ringing army crossed the border to block them, William would naturally have something to say, and Rowe would inevitably become the target of attacks by other lords of the title.

However, if he was mistaken for "Nathanos" and attacked by the "Church Army", then William would have no choice but to swallow his anger.

After seeing off the ambitious Brother Firth, Luo Wei turned around and returned to the bedroom in the mansion.

Outside the window, the phenomenon of the Phoenix's flaming wings hanging in the sky during the polar day continued. The bright orange light shone through the glazed windows, coating the bedroom's large bed with a layer of warm red.

A slight sound of suffocation came from the velvet tent dyed red, and a long, straight, muscular leg stretched out from under the quilt and then wrapped around Luo Wei's waist like a laurel branch.

"Luo Wei, I'm so hungry—"

Melidor, who had just woken up, spoke in a lazy and charming voice with a wandering look in her eyes.

Luo Wei swallowed subconsciously and said, "I'll feed you."

"Hmm? That's not the case. You're so bad! Uh-huh-"

It was not until the early morning of the next day that Melidor finally fell into a deep sleep with a full stomach.

At noon, when Luo Wei was about to connect with the three-legged raven Kriscito with the Phoenix consciousness, he heard a rapid sound of iron boots crushing ice crystals coming from the corridor.

"Report to the master, urgent military information—

A bell-ringing scout knelt on one knee, and frost flowers on the iron armor plates on his body fell off, but they disappeared into thin air before they hit the ground.

The continuation of the cloudy sky phenomenon caused the sun's rays to be blocked. The temperature outside was very low, but around Luo Wei, it was as warm as spring.

This is also the miraculous manifestation of the power of the Phoenix.

"Speak." Luo Wei simply raised his hand and signaled the bell-ringing scout to stand up.

"Master, Maester Durdi's grain transport team was intercepted at the Turquoise Checkpoint, and all ten carts of grain were escorted to the Fern Valley Manor!"

"Oh?" Instead of being angry, Luo Wei had a glimmer of stars in his black pupils.

Just when I was wondering which Hongshanling manor to start with, a manor suddenly came forward.

"Great." Luo Wei's eyes focused, "Rui Wenzhi, tell the centurion to gather his men and follow me to the Red Rose Manor immediately."

"Yes! Master!" Rui Wenzhi, who was serving on the side, immediately went forward to pass on the order.

If you want to cross the border and raid Fern Valley Manor, you must first stop at Red Rose Manor.

What's more, even if the ten bell-ringing soldiers could raid the Fern Valley Manor, they would not be able to plunder all the food and treasures in the Fern Valley Manor.

For this raid, we must seek assistance from Drake who is stationed at Red Rose Manor.

In addition to the reason of manpower, Lowe also wanted to take the opportunity to find out whether Drake could obey orders completely.

"Oh, by the way," Luo Wei turned to the scout and asked, "Durdi is not dead, right?

1

The scout quickly replied, "He is not dead, but he has suffered a great crime. The people at the Turquoise Post stripped him of his bachelor's robes to humiliate him."

Luo Wei said with a look of grief and indignation: "Oh! My poor old bachelor - well, go ahead."

"Yes, sir." The scout saluted and left quickly.

Soon, ten bell-ringing soldiers, led by the centurion, gathered in front of the courtyard of the Marigold Mansion.

Ten heavy cavalrymen stood majestically in front of Luo Wei, and the wings of the elephants hanging in the sky cast blood-red light onto the world.

These veterans who once followed Rowe to fight against Edmund's army still have scorch marks from the mage's frostfire flames on their heavy iron armor.

Under the fiery light of the polar day, each of them looked like a divine weapon coated with light.

Although they were still slaves by status, the centurions among them were already level 1 knights, and the other veterans had basically reached the level of trainee awakeners.

As long as they go through a few more wars, these people will sooner or later become knights capable of standing on their own.

"Set off!"

"Yes, sir!"

The Bell-Ringing Army's heavy cavalry are in high spirits!

Luo Wei mounted his warhorse and led the way, galloping along the road heading southeast.

Rui Wenzhi and the bell-ringing army's heavy cavalry followed closely behind.

The sound of iron hooves trampling and the sound of iron armor rubbing together constitute a unique and passionate war song.

The colorful polar day brought by the fire wings of the sky has lasted for 5 days now. The huge fire wings show no signs of subsiding, but are getting more and more intense.

Although the sky remained as bright as day, the temperature remained extremely cold.

The heat from the sun's rays cannot penetrate the sky, so the earth has no warmth at all. The winter wheat planted in the farmlands along the way is growing slowly and is already showing signs of withering. Bright ice crystals are growing along the grain of the wheat ears.

This year's food disaster is already very obvious.

Not only will grain production drop drastically, but even magical herbs and the like will be completely lost.

The continued low temperatures are also a huge test for the survival of the lower-class people.

If the signs from heaven were a punishment for the Pseudo-God Empire, then the first people to be hurt were the lower-class civilians.

It is only a matter of time before prices rise and people become uneasy.

After more than half an hour of forced march, Luo Wei and his bell-ringing team arrived at the Red Rose Manor.

The one stationed at Red Rose Manor was none other than Valentine's cousin, "Big Bear" Drake.

When the wooden fence gate of the manor slowly opened, the "giant bear" Drake, wearing a bear skin, came out from the lord's mansion with a look of surprise.

As soon as Drake came up, he gave Rowe a big warm bear hug. "Oh, my dear cousin, my Master Rowe, the Lord of Marigold Territory! Why didn't you send a raven to inform me before you came, so that I could prepare wine, food and beautiful maids to welcome you!"

Ever since Rowe gave him the Red Rose Manor as a trophy, Drake's face has been beaming.

When Drake visited the Perfect Valley before, he already had great respect for Lowe.

After that, Rowe destroyed Edmund's army overnight, killed a level 7 mage, counterattacked Marigold Town, and actually controlled most of Marigold's territory.

As Rovey's cousin, Drake took over the wealthy Red Rose Manor without any troops. His two hundred lord soldiers and two hundred serf soldiers were all equipped with armor, and the granary was filled with food.

He himself became lord of the manor.

This is all thanks to Luo Wei!

If it weren't for the fact that his biological father was still alive, Drake would have wanted to call Rowe "my dear father".

Luo Wei laughed and followed Drake into the meeting room, asking, "Cousin Drake, are you used to being the lord of Red Rose Manor?"

Drake chuckled and rubbed his red nose. "Red Rose Manor is very wealthy, and the maids know many tricks. Master Luo Wei, have you ever tried to let the maids make a warm bed? Oh my God, it feels so good to have every toe wrapped.

"Of course, Red Rose is great, but it's too far from Meiling Valley. I don't know when I can drink Meiling Valley's beer and eat Meiling Valley's roujiamo."

"It won't take long."

Luo Wei did not sit down, but stroked the specimen of the dire wolf head on the wall of the Red Rose Council Chamber. The dire wolf's ape fangs glowed blue at his fingertips.

Just when Drake was about to remind his "unawakened" cousin to be careful not to get hurt by the wolf's fangs, he heard Luo Wei change the subject, "Drake, I need to mobilize your lord's soldiers."

Drake was stunned for a moment, then said excitedly: "We are going to fight again so soon? Great! I will gather all the troops now!"

Luo Wei raised his hand to stop Drake. "Not all of them, I only need 50 people, but these 50 people must be your most trusted lord soldiers, preferably those who participated in the previous raid on Blue Mountain Manor as Nathanos."

Upon hearing this, Drake said even more excitedly, "Want to rob - oh no, want to plunder for justice? Master Rowe, take me with you!"

Luo Wei smiled faintly, "No, I want you to stay here. After all, garrisoning Red Rose Manor is your main mission. In case the situation changes, I will need you to pick me up from Red Rose Manor."

Drake nodded repeatedly, "Okay then, I'll obey Master Rowe's orders."

Luo Wei comforted him again: "Don't worry, there are plenty of battles to fight."

Drake then responded with a silly grin.

Soon, Luo Wei used the Phoenix Consciousness to investigate and selected 50 people from Drake's trusted lord soldiers.

These trusted lord soldiers had all participated in Drake's previous raid on Blue Mountain Manor by Nathanos, so they naturally knew the rules.

Luo Wei then ordered them to change their clothes, wear the armor inside and the tattered civilian linen clothes outside, cover their faces, put on the banner of the Oracle Sect, and temporarily act as Oracle followers.

Luo Wei himself also put on a scarlet face mask, and his eyes became sharper.

Drake on the side praised sincerely: "Master Luo Wei, your acting is really great. I'm not complimenting you, but with your outfit and eyes, it's no doubt that you are Nathanos!"

Luo Wei smiled and said, "Thank you, Drake. Oh, by the way, I have a piece of advice for you: be careful of your prostate getting athlete's foot."

"Huh?" Drake was stunned.

Luo Wei turned around and gave a speech to the "Oracle Cultists" who were already prepared: "Remember! From now on, we are Oracle Cultists! I am the Oracle Nathanos, and the sign from heaven has descended! Follow me to defeat the evil lord!"

“The sign from heaven has arrived! Defeat the evil lord! Long live the Oracle Nathanos!”

All the "Oracle followers" raised their arms and shouted excitedly.

"Set off!"

The warhorse neighed as it galloped out of the Red Rose Manor, the icy mist splashing into crystal dust under its iron hooves.

Drake looked at the cavalrymen's gradually blurred backs and murmured, "What is the prostate?"

Fern Valley Manor is on the other side of this monster forest.

This magical beast forest lies between two territories. The terrain is steep and rugged, with lush vegetation and high-level magical beasts.

Normally, there is only one dangerous path between the two territories, a forest trail.

There are checkpoints at both ends of the forest trail.

On the Marigold Territory side is the Rose Outpost, and on the Red Mountain Territory side is the Turquoise Outpost.

Luo Wei had previously controlled the three-legged crow Kriscito to scout the Turquoise Checkpoint, which was a level with 10 lord soldiers, wooden walls and watchtowers.

Behind the Turquoise Checkpoint is the Fern Valley Manor.

With Luo Wei's current strength, he can easily break through the turquoise checkpoint in a snap of his fingers.

However, if the Turquoise Outpost is destroyed, it would be equivalent to telling the entire Red Mountain Territory that "Nathanos" entered and left from the direction of the Red Rose.

Therefore, this time the raid had to bypass the Turquoise Checkpoint and find a new path to raid Fern Valley Manor.

This would be a very difficult task for others, but for Luo Wei, who had scouted the entire Hongshan Territory's terrain in advance, it was very simple.

Following the Phoenix Consciousness Mark he had left behind, Luo Wei led the Bell Ringing Army and the Red Rose Lord's soldiers and headed straight into the Monster Forest.

This uphill mountain road was indeed difficult to walk on, but the bell-ringing soldiers were no pushovers. They cut down ancient trees as they walked, and actually carved out a path for themselves.

The Red Rose Lord's soldiers who followed behind were all stunned and couldn't believe it.

They originally thought that soldiers were there to fight and die, but only now did they realize how big the gap was between themselves and the bell-ringing army.

Then, the Red Rose Lord's soldiers also joined in the felling.

Of course, Rowe did not waste these chopped down trees. He quietly transformed them all into phoenix ashes through the demigod-level phoenix transformation.
