Chapter 258

"What?!" the woman with the cloak looked at Suellen in surprise.

When can a territory exploiting army defeat the orc army, and these troops wearing iron armor, well-equipped and extraordinary strength are private soldiers exploiting territory? Are you kidding? These elite soldiers in front of you are no worse than the Canary knights, the strongest of the kings.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Suellen." the woman quickly apologized.

"It doesn't matter." Su Lun answered casually. He didn't care much about these nobles. It's good to properly express some goodwill. There's no need to please them.

Seeing Su Lun's expression, these nobles were more cautious.

"Dear Lord of the North Town, your excellency sulun, we started to flee after the city was broken. We have been hiding in the East and West C for several days. I wonder if you can prepare a place for us to rest and eat." the lady made a standard aristocratic etiquette and asked.

"Yes," Suellen nodded.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Suellen. You are a real gentleman." after getting permission, these people were obviously relieved. Now they don't have to worry about being caught by orcs or wandering in the wild. They have suffered a lot from their exile these days. Now they can have a place to rest.

Suellen waved and asked a servant to prepare some horses and a crude carriage for them, and then asked them to retreat with the team. For the sake of safety, Su Lun arranged several barbarian warriors around them. These barbarian Tomahawk crazy warriors who have risen to the top are all third-order extraordinary professionals. No matter what their thoughts are, they can't afford any waves.

These nobles were not dissatisfied with Su Lun's arrangement, and they also understood Su Lun's intention.

The army soon returned to Blackstone fortress. Sulun asked people to arrange rooms and food for the nobles and stopped paying attention. After all, he is very busy now.

It is not easy for more than 10000 human slaves to be sent back to the north city of Zhenbei. Fortunately, sulun has sufficient manpower to divide these refugees into a small team of ten people and a squadron of 100 people, and then transport them in batches and 1000 people in batches. The number of troops responsible for escorting them is 200.

It's about 300 miles from Blackstone fortress to the north town. If the army marches, it can arrive in four or five days. If the cavalry is faster, but now the slaves are transported, and these people can arrive in at least a week. That means a round trip takes at least ten days.

However, there is no way. After all, it is not safe to put all slaves in Blackstone fortress. If the orcs remember here, it will be in trouble. Moreover, these human slaves were sent to the North Town half threatened and half forced by Su Lun. Many people must be unwilling and have a high chance of escaping.

However, when they got out of Blackstone fortress and came to the northern wilderness, these people had no place to run even if they wanted to run. Although the wilderness had been cleaned up many times by the soldiers of Zhenbei City, those dog headed people, robbers, goblins and jackals grew like weeds.

It is a problem for these ordinary human beings to live in the wilderness for a few days without the protection of soldiers in the north town. More importantly, Blackstone fortress is the only way for the Northern Wilderness to enter the kingdom of Florence. Sulun people are guarding here. Even if those slaves run away, they can't return to Florence.

As for learning the orcs to cross the nafir mountains directly, even those orcs with extraordinary strength have suffered heavy casualties, not to mention these ordinary humans, this road is completely ten dead and lifeless.

For the escort army, Suellen selected 50 archers, 50 long spearmen, and a hundred Falcon banshees, and announced in front of those human slaves that as long as they escape, the person who escapes will be dealt with by the Falcon Banshee. Hearing Su Lun's decision, those Eagle banshees were excited to fly back and forth in the air, and their eyes looked back and forth on these human efforts. Even Su Lun had a creepy feeling.

A hundred harpy banshees, even a knight, will be squeezed into medicine residue. Those human slaves who planned to escape in their hearts were in a cold sweat and directly threw the idea of escape out of the sky. It was too cruel.

Seeing that these humans were silent, Su Lun laughed in his heart, and then arranged for people to start transporting according to the previous plan. A thousand people left the North Town in batches, and it took more than 10000 people a day to evacuate.

......

When Su Lun arranged to evacuate slaves, the nobles were also carefully observing the suddenly rising Lord of the north town. In their opinion, Su Lun's rise was too fast. In just over a year, he established a desolate open territory into a city and was also called the Pearl of the north. As northern nobles, they were full of curiosity about him, He also coveted his white sugar making process.

But when these people really came into contact with Zhenbei City, they had a clearer understanding of their strength.

"Your Excellency, they are migrating the people of our winter city! They can't do this!" the nobles were not calm after seeing sulun take the people out of Blackstone fortress one by one. Although they are aristocrats and never cared about the farmers in their territory before, if all the refugees are taken away, they will be left as aristocrats at that time. What a fart!

No one farms for you, no one works for you, and you can't even collect taxes. There is a large area of empty land, but you can't even eat. You don't even have people. Who are you oppressing or exploiting. No one wants to be such a noble. So after they saw the action of Zhenbei City, they subconsciously wanted to stop it.

"Be quiet!" the woman with the veil scolded severely, "pay attention to your current position. This is not winter city. Winter city has been broken by orcs. Now we are just a group of poor people living under the fence."

"What are you doing? Rush over and tell him this is our leader? Then ask him to return these commands to us?" the woman's sarcastic voice sounded particularly harsh.

"We can't watch them take our orders away!" one of the noble men said anxiously.

The masked woman frowned slightly. Her clear and pleasant voice had an attractive charm. Her eyes looked coldly at the middle-aged man who spoke: "since we gave up the city and fled alone, we are no longer their Lord."

"And are you sure you want to argue with the sulun pavilion?" the masked woman raised her head slightly, looked at the barbarian soldiers not far away and continued: "have you seen those barbarian soldiers? Do you know how strong they are?"

"Just some barbarians, how strong can they be?" said another aristocrat disdainfully. In Florence, they generally despise those barbarians with developed limbs and simple mind. But they do look down on the strength of the barbarians

"Just some barbarians?" the masked woman shook her head and looked at the man like an idiot again: "Locke, tell them."

"Yes, count Elia." the middle-aged Knight bowed, then turned to the others and said, "the other soldiers don't say much. As far as the barbarian warrior is concerned, his strength is not lower than me, and according to my observation, there are at least hundreds of barbarian warriors."

Hiss, such terror! The crowd took a breath.

In fact, Locke still put gold on his face. Although he is also a Knight Commander and a third-order extraordinary professional, if he fights with those barbarians, axe crazy soldiers, he will lose nine times out of ten. These barbarians have crazy skills. Although their reason is reduced, their combat ability is more powerful.

"Locke, is that true? Those barbarians have three levels of strength?" one of the nobles swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked with a shocked face.

"Of course it's true! Do you think I'm kidding?" Locke said, looking at the nobles coldly.

"Sorry." seeing Locke's expression, the noble apologized quickly.

"Locke, can you tell me about the strength of the Lord's army in the north town?" a nobleman nearby couldn't help asking.

Locke looked at them and said, "I can only tell you what I see, but I don't guarantee that they are all right."

"It's all right. Just say it. It's a reference."

"The number of troops in the north city of these towns is about 5000, including not only barbarians, but also some centaurs and semi elves. The number of humans is about 4000. Lord sulun has a high reputation among these soldiers. The army is mainly long gunners, archers and some centaurs."

"In this army, there are a large number of professionals with strength at the third level. Those semi elf archers are powerful. Needless to say, you know, the Lord can command the eagle Banshee. Although the strength of a single Eagle banshee is not strong, their air advantage is too strong."

"It takes at least 50000 regular troops to defeat this army."

"50000 regular troops? So strong!" a shock flashed on the masked woman's face. She didn't expect that the army in Zhenbei city was so strong.

"Half elves, half horses, barbarians, and Eagle banshees!" several nobles couldn't help exclaiming. "How did he make so many races live in peace?"

"Half elves and half horses are powerful races. How can they join the remote area of the north town?"

"Parker, pay attention to your words. The north town is not a remote place. On the contrary, he is much richer than us, even when the winter city was not broken before."

"I really don't understand how he got a firm foothold in the northern wasteland. I heard that he became the development Lord for only one year, that is to say, it took him only one year to grow to this point."
