Phoenix Grand Lord

Luo Wei led the "Oracle followers" to cut down trees frantically in the Warcraft Forest.

The Bell Ringing Army and Drake's Red Rose Lord soldiers seemed to have entered into some kind of racing competition, with both sides secretly competing with each other.

As Luo Wei's direct subordinates, the Bell Ringing Army naturally did not want to lag behind, while the Red Rose Lord's soldiers also wanted to perform well in front of the lord's lord.

After an almost crazy contest, the amount of wood cut down by the 10-man Bell Ringing Army was almost the same as the amount cut down by the 50-man Red Rose Lord's soldiers.

The efficiency of the bell-ringing army is so terrifying.

The soldiers of the Lord of Red Roses originally looked down on these soldiers who were born as slaves, even though the centurion of these slaves was an awakened knight. But after this secret competition, the soldiers of the Lord of Red Roses realized that they were no match for these bell-ringing troops.

This is just a logging competition. If it is a head-on fight, the 50 of them are no match for the 10-man bell-ringing team.

In terms of will, the Red Rose Lord's soldiers only respected Luo Wei out of respect for the lord of the lord, while the bell-ringing soldiers were visibly fanatical about Luo Wei.

Regarding the result of this secret contest, Luo Wei said nothing on the surface, but he was very satisfied in his heart.

Of course, the Red Rose Lord Soldiers can indeed be regarded as Drake's elite Lord Soldiers. They are only five times behind the Bell Ringing Army.

If it were any other lord's soldiers, they would have collapsed long ago.

This ridge has been almost untouched for a hundred years, not to mention that it is full of dangers and deadly monsters.

Just climbing up the ridge was exhausting, not to mention the mad race to chop down trees to clear a path.

The Red Rose Lord's soldiers did not collapse from exhaustion, which showed that they were indeed capable of handling the difficult task.

Of course, it is possible to pass through here without cutting down trees to open a path, but the problem is that when you return with the treasures from the "righteous plunder", it will be difficult to pass.

I can't go through the Turquoise Checkpoint on my way back, right? That would be like admitting guilt.

What's more, it's not like Rowe only engaged in "righteous plunder" once.

In order to come here frequently in the future, this secret passage on the ridge must be opened up once and for all.

The intertwined branches of the ancient wood lice are as huge and hard as the bones of a giant beast. When the iron axe splits the century-old vine, the juice splashes out.

Under the illumination of the Fire-Winged Sky-Elephant, it glowed with emerald-colored magical fluorescence.

These magical sap are poisonous. Once contaminated, people will feel extremely itchy. If they touch the wound, they will cause severe infection.

But the sap can also be refined through magic to become gum.

Gum has a wide range of industrial uses. Of course, Rowe is not focusing on collecting magic sap now. The most urgent task is to open up the secret passage on the ridge as soon as possible, bypass the Turquoise Checkpoint, raid Fern Valley Manor, and let Red Mountain Territory know that their big daddy, the Oracle Nathanos, has arrived.

It is worth mentioning that during the entire logging process, no monsters in this forest dared to attack. It was not because the monsters did not discover these delicious humans, but because Luo Wei took the initiative to release the invisible demigod-level phoenix power.

The area within a radius of several hundred kilometer was all shrouded in the pressure of Rowe's invisible phoenix power.

This kind of powerful pressure cannot be felt by our side, who can only feel the gentle warmth of spring. However, to those low-level monsters, it is a very deadly terror, forcing them to lie dormant deep in the rotten leaves and tangled roots.

The frantic logging advance lasted for more than five hours, and the secret passage to the ridge was finally cleared.

This is a massive engineering project.

If an ordinary lord were to open such a dangerous secret passage, it would take at least several weeks.

Under the passionate leadership of the Bell Ringing Army, the cooperation of the Red Rose Lord's soldiers, and more importantly, under the protection of Rowe's Phoenix Power, they completed this task that was almost impossible to complete in a short period of time.

After reaching the ridge, Luo Wei ordered the bell-ringing troops and the lord's soldiers to rest.

Luo Wei also took out the dried meat that he had prepared long ago from his golden magic bag and asked Rui Wenzhi to distribute it to help the bell-ringing army and the lord's soldiers recover their strength.

The golden magic bag is the loot from the 7th-level mage Plank, and it contains many magic supplies and recovery potions.

After making sure everyone had their fill of jerky, Luo Wei leaned against the ancient oak tree with bronze-like knots and closed his eyes to rest.

The Bell Ringing Army often eats magic jerky, but for the Red Rose Lord's soldiers, it is the first time they have eaten such delicious dry food.

The magic jerky contains just the right amount of salt and sugar, which makes every Red Rose Lord soldier exclaim in amazement and can't stop eating it.

The Bell Ringing Army looked upon the Red Rose Lord's soldiers as if they were country bumpkins who had never seen the world.

On the other side of the ridge is the Red Mountain Territory.

This time the infiltration tactics were different from the previous ones, and it took too long overall. So far, I haven't seen the enemy yet, I'm just racing with myself to cut down trees faster.

However, although this penetration was very slow, the essence of penetration has never been speed, but surprise, and the ability to implant the shadow of death into the blind spot of the prey.

After resting for another hour and a half, it was midnight and the bell-ringing soldiers and the Red Rose Lord's soldiers were almost done with their rest.

Because of the presence of the Sky-Elephant's Wings of Fire, even at midnight the entire mountain ridge was as bright as day.

Looking down from the top of the ridge, there is a dense forest of ancient trees and a stream that flows like a silver snake in the forest.

At the end of the stream is Fern Valley Manor, hidden among the mountains and valleys.

If they continued to cut down trees from the ridge, even if the Bell Ringers and the Red Rose Lord's soldiers were as powerful as ever, it would take at least another ten hours of continuous felling.

Moreover, when the felling reaches the mountainside, it is easy to be discovered by the guards in the watchtower of Fern Valley Manor.

Luo Wei had another clever plan.

When Luo Wei connected with the three-legged crow Chrisitto to explore the entire Red Mountain Territory, he had already noticed the details of the terrain here.

Originally there was no way down the mountain, but because of the arrival of the heavenly sign, the impossible became very possible - the stream that flows to the Fern Valley Manor is called Fern Creek. Normally, this Fern Creek is turbulent, but after the arrival of the heavenly sign, this blood vessel that nourished the Fern Valley for more than a hundred years seemed to have been drained of its vitality and entered a dry season.

The cracks in the frozen riverbed of Fern Creek were exposed, and under the colorful light of the Sky-hanging Elephant's Fire Wings, the exposed and hard riverbed was sparkling with star-like crystals, just enough to withstand the trampling of the iron hooves of Luo Wei and others!

This means that there is no need to open up a path down the mountain. One can just rush down along the dried-up Fern Creek riverbed and reach Fern Valley Manor!

This is also the advantage of using Krixito to scout the terrain!

No one except Luo Wei can discover such an interlaced path!

Rowe then took the lead, galloping down the Fern Creek bed.

The iron hooves of the bell-ringing army and the Red Rose Lord's soldiers stepped on the ice crust, making a crisp sound like pancakes, awakening the bronze bellflowers that were dormant by the river.

The bronze bellflowers collided and swayed with each other, echoing the sound of iron hooves trampling, and there was a strange rhythmic beauty.

Soon, the lord's flag of Fern Valley Manor came into Lowe's sight.

This is a flag with a red background and a poisonous snake entwined with silver ferns.

According to the information that Luo Wei had previously learned, the lord of Fern Valley Manor was named Fairlove Kidman, a collateral relative of the Kidman family of the Marquis of the West within three generations.

Ever since William used a trick to seize Red Mountain Territory more than ten years ago, many relatives of the Kidman family who were unable to obtain fiefdoms have spent a large sum of money to purchase manors and territories in Red Mountain Territory.

Fairlove Kidman is one of them.

Although it cost a lot of money to buy this manor at the time, after more than ten years of operation, the previous investment has long been earned back.

Of course, there was no venomous snake emblem on the original flag of the lord of Fern Valley Manor, because the original lord of Fern Valley Manor and his relatives had all been killed and wiped out.

The entire Fern Valley Estate covers an area of ​​approximately 100 Kiel hectares, equivalent to 0.1 Kiel square kilometers.

The area of ​​such a manor is 20 times larger than the original Merrill Valley Manor.

But in fact, the territory of Fern Valley Manor can only be regarded as a small manor. Normally, a medium-sized manor that has been in operation for hundreds of years must have at least thousands of hectares, or 1 square kilometer.

And those wealthy large estates can even reach tens of thousands of hectares, or 10 square kilometers.

For example, Marigold Town. Marigold Town is essentially the core manor of Marigold Territory, with an area of ​​more than 30,000 Kiel hectares, or 30 Kiel square kilometers.

In comparison, the original Merrill Valley only converted to 0.005 Kiel square kilometers, not even a sesame dot on the map, and was not worthy of being measured in Kiel square kilometers.

Therefore, Rowe was able to rely on the small Merrill Valley to withstand Edmund's army attack in less than five months, and even counterattacked to take over Marigold Town and most of the territory of Marigold Territory. This was definitely an epic victory that would shock all the surrounding lords.

After annexing all the territories of the Three Forks Manor, the total area of ​​the Merrill Valley reached 120 hectares, and it could finally be considered a small manor territory. On the animal skin map of the entire Western Territory, there would also be an independent place name displayed - provided that Rowe's title of Baron Marigold was recognized.

However, even if the barony is recognized, the main valley of the Merrill Valley has only been expanded to 20 hectares so far, which is still very small.

If you want to use Meiling Valley as the capital of your core territory in the future, you must speed up the expansion towards the Black Moon Forest.

Developing the Black Moon Forest is also one of Luo Wei’s major plans in the near future.

As for the Fern Valley Manor in front of us, it is also a good territory in terms of terrain.

Fern Valley Manor is surrounded by mountains on three sides. The valley is low-lying, with a mild climate all year round and fertile soil.

Although there are no large tracts of arable farmland like in the Marigold Territory, there are large plantations and apiaries.

The mainstay industries of Fern Valley Manor are beekeeping and planting of fern magic crops.

Fern Valley Manor is the largest honey producing area in the vicinity. It is worth mentioning that there are no flowers in Fern Valley Manor itself. The bees in Fern Valley Manor fly to the marigold territory to collect honey, and then return to the beehives in Fern Valley Manor to make honey.

A large number of medicinal ferns, such as fern root grass and silver leaf fern, are also planted in Fern Valley Manor. These magical herbs have medicinal value in healing injuries and enhancing physical strength, and are in great demand.

The honey and fern herbs from Fern Valley Manor are continuously transported to the Westing Castle of the Marquis of the West for the enjoyment of the nobles.

As for the military strength, Luo Wei had already conducted reconnaissance through the three-legged crow Kriscito. In addition to the guards stationed at the Turquoise Checkpoint, there were about 120 lord soldiers, more than 20 heavy guards, more than 20 archers, and two level 2 knights in the Fern Valley Manor. In addition, there were about 300 serfs who could be armed and put into battle.

Obviously, military affairs are not Fern Valley Manor's strong point.

After all, the entire Hongshan Territory belongs to the sphere of influence of the Marquis of the West Territory, and few people dare to take advantage of the Marquis of the West Territory's interests.

Therefore, the defense of Fern Valley Manor was relatively lax.

Such a wealthy manor was only surrounded by a wooden fence less than two meters high.

The wooden fence was covered with glowing ferns, and only the front fence had a single-story watchtower five or six kilometres high.

There is a large bronze bell on the watchtower, and five guards are warming themselves by a fire in the shadows of the tower.

The guards were passing mead skins around while laughing and chatting about which woman in the manor was the most beautiful.

At this time, it was exactly 1 o'clock in the morning.

Although the flaming wings of the sky-hanging elephant illuminated the entire continent as bright as day, the people of Fern Valley Manor still rested according to the time indicated by the magic clock.

Luo Wei led the Bell Ringing Army and the Red Rose Lord's soldiers and accelerated towards the blind spot behind the Fern Valley Manor's watchtower.

The frozen riverbed of Fern Creek splashed blue ice crystals under the trampling iron hooves.

The crisp sound of horse hooves was like a war drum, but the sentinels who were still arguing about whether to run the war or not on the watchtower were completely unaware of the approaching danger.

When he rushed to the glowing wooden fence, Luo Wei took out a truth grenade from the golden magic bag, infused it with the demigod-level power of the Phoenix, and threw it towards the wooden fence.

boom!

The grenade of truth that was infused with the demigod-level power of the Phoenix actually exploded into a powerful small mushroom cloud!

The entire fence was blown into powder!

The huge shock wave was too much for the Bell Ringing Army and the Red Rose Lord's soldiers to bear!

Even Luo Wei himself was shocked!

Fortunately, Luo Wei gathered the power of the Phoenix in time, and the invisible shield blocked the shock wave of the Phoenix Power of the Truth Grenade, so the Bell Ringing Army and the Red Rose Lord's soldiers were not affected.

After a brief pause, the bell-ringing troops and the Red Rose Lord's soldiers instantly became excited!

Their lord is so powerful!

Luo Wei adjusted the scarlet face money on his face and shouted: "The sign from heaven has come! Oracle: Punish the evil lords! Kill all enemies who dare to resist the oracle!"

"kill!"

Ruiwenzhi took the lead and rushed into the gap in the fence with the passionate bell-ringing soldiers and the Red Rose Lord's soldiers!

According to Luo Wei's advance arrangement, ten heavily armed cavalrymen of the Bell Ringing Army rushed directly to the barracks of Fern Valley Manor, while the Red Rose Lord's soldiers were divided into five teams. One team stayed with Luo Wei awaiting temporary deployment, and the other four teams headed in four directions to control Fern Valley Manor.

Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy!

Suddenly, the entire Fern Valley Manor fell into extreme chaos and panic.

The sleeping soldiers of the Lord of Fern Valley were awakened by the sound of the collision of swords and horses. Before they could even see clearly what was on the other side, they were hit by three-edged steel arrows and died!

There were at least 100 lord soldiers in Fern Valley Manor, but they were no match for the ferocious attacks of the Bell Ringing Army veterans!

Almost in the blink of an eye, more than half of the lord's soldiers in the barracks were shot and hacked to death!

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack—"

The drunken sentries in the watchtower tried desperately to ring the alarm bells, but it was too late.

The Red Rose Lord's soldiers occupied the four main roads of the entire manor, and any serfs who dared to take up arms were killed directly.

The sentries on the watchtowers were not spared either. A captain of the Red Rose Lord's soldiers directly set the watchtowers on fire with pine oil, and the main gate fence and watchtower of Fern Valley Manor were immediately engulfed in flames.

Luo Wei, with the Red Rose Lord soldiers around him, slowly went to the Fern Valley Dungeon to rescue the old scholar Durdi.

Poor old Durdi, he should still be naked, right?

Too bad there are no cameras in Regan's world.
