dark witches rise

Chapter 15 The Baron Summons

In the evening.

The clouds on the western land turned red under the baking sun.

The members of the garrison patrolling around Silla Town looked at the approaching figures in the distance and shouted excitedly.

"Captain Roja is back——"

People who heard the shouts rushed towards Roja in droves.

On the road a few hundred meters away from Silla Town.

Roja led five members of the defense team and looked at the crowd swarming towards them, with a happy smile on his tired face.

After a day of fierce fighting, even Roja, who had an intermediate knight's combat power, awakened his bloodline, and recovered his physical strength much faster than ordinary knights, felt exhausted.

Not to mention the five members of the garrison who followed him - although the main force in the battle was Roya.

Dozens of people rushed up and surrounded Roja.

Everyone present looked solemn.

When he saw clearly who was sitting on the main seat, Roja was suddenly startled.

"Sure enough, when disaster strikes, not only is it easy to get money, but as long as you have the strength, you can even get prestige."

Roja searched the surroundings with his eyes.

As for the wolf skin of a high-level monster, you may not be able to buy it even with hundreds of gold coins.

Thinking of this, Luo Ya's nose felt sore.

Captain Lei Lun, who is also a teacher and friend of Roya, is still alive!

"Come here! Send Captain Roya to Barney Medical Center quickly!"

But the next second, he immediately noticed Captain Lei Lun's empty right arm.

Living in the inner castle is simply a torture!

Okoman Castle is located in the deepest part of Silla Town.

Look at the beautiful middle-aged woman standing next to Luke, whose eyes were swollen from crying.

"I wonder why he summoned us?"

"Is he Baron Horn's younger brother? When Baron Horn sets out to crusade against the Wolf King, is he Knight Giroud who temporarily acts as Baron's agent?"

Along the way, Roja met several people who were invited like him.

The reason why they ran hundreds of meters to greet Roja was because they were worried about and admired Roja, but more importantly, it was because of these wolf skins.

But when faced with danger, there is no safer building than this stone fortress.

Because that servant is from the Baron Okomen family!

The servant trotted to Roja's side and whispered: "Lord Roja, please go to Okomen Castle."

Under the illumination of the torches stuck on the wall, everyone's face in the hall was dyed red, looking extremely solemn.

How could they not love Captain Roya like this?

After Luo Ya was stunned for a moment, he nodded and said, "Okay."

Seeing Captain Lei Lun come back alive, Roja breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at the heavy fortress made of huge rocks in front of him, Roja felt a sense of security from the bottom of his heart.

"How could Captain Roya be injured?"

Seeing the admiring eyes of the people around him, the corners of Roya's mouth curled up slightly.

Due to Roja's strong strength, he has defended Silla Town from wolf attacks many times, and distributed the wolf skins he hunted, Roja's reputation has reached its peak.

While Roja was thinking, he looked towards the center of the hall.

Finally, a sturdy middle-aged man with a beard on his face and a sturdy back came into Roja's sight.

"If you haven't seen Captain Roya's battle with your own eyes, you can't imagine how powerful Captain Roya is. Even junior monsters will not be Captain Roya's opponent."

In the entire Silla Town, there are probably only a few people such as Baron Horn, Captain Luke, and Witch Doctor Barney who can surpass Roja in terms of prestige.

"Captain Roya, are you okay?"

Facing the nervous crowd, before Roya opened his mouth to explain, the five younger brothers who had been following him spoke up.

Although the best and most valuable wolf skins were picked out by Roja, there are still hundreds of wolf skins left!

But the inner fort is not a place for people to enjoy. The inner fort is essentially a military fortress.

"What?"

This stone fortress is extremely strong and has almost no windows.

There are huge underground warehouses in the inner fort to store food and wells for water supply. People can live there for a very long time.

A complete common wild wolf skin can be sold for more than 20 silver coins.

"Those coagulated blood are the blood of ferocious wolves!"

His eyes fell on Luke directly in front of him.

This is worth hundreds of gold coins!

People looked at Roja's armor which was covered with bite marks and scratches, and when they saw that the armor was stained with coagulated blood, they all showed worried expressions.

One hand missing?

Now that Captain Luke is back, then——

After the wolf plague is over, everyone can make a lot of money by taking the wolf skins to the city and selling them.

He no longer has the qualifications to be called a knight, and even a quasi-knight may not be able to maintain his strength.

Didn’t Captain Luke set out with Baron Horn to defeat the Wolf King?

He pointed at the pile of wolf skins brought back by his five younger brothers, "Pick out the ones that are quasi-warcraft and send them back to Kaitri Castle, and share the rest among us."

Or the right hand as the dominant hand?

Those people were full of doubts just like him.

After he asked the people around him to calm down.

It's even more uncomfortable when it's humid weather, with water all over the walls and floor.

Seeing others exclaiming in exclamation and looking at him with admiring eyes, Roja scratched his head shyly.

Roja had been invited to the inner castle several times before. There was no sunlight inside, and it was extremely dark even in broad daylight. You had to light a candle to see the surroundings clearly.

Biting her lips tightly, her eyes were full of uneasiness.

Even though the living environment is terrible, no one wants to live there.

The inner fort is a three-story fortress made of huge rocks.

The person taking the main seat in the hall is surprisingly the son of Baron Horn, heir to the Okomen family, captain of the garrison, and the strongest knight in Silla Town—Luke Okomen!

"Are you hurt anywhere?"

For a knight, with one missing leg, he can still fight while sitting on a horse.

"What exactly is..."

But those people were not the people Roja really wanted to see.

The wolf skin of a quasi-warcraft is worth more than ten gold coins.

Under the leadership of the servants, Roja and others came to the hall in the inner castle.

"The right hand is gone?"

He really wanted to go over and chat with Captain Lei Lun and ask what happened and how he lost his arm, but now was not the time.

The people around him wanted to scold the rude servant at first, but when they saw the servant's attire, they immediately moved out of the way.

In the past half month, Roja has hunted thousands of wolves and distributed thousands of wolf skins to members of the garrison.

Why are you here?

"I wonder who asked us to come to Oakman Castle?"

In the end, they relied on the inner fort for three months to wait until reinforcements arrived.

It is said that a hundred years ago, the Okomen family was besieged by enemies and fell into dire straits.

"Captain Luke?"

Okomen Castle is divided into an inner castle and an outer castle.

As soon as Roja entered the hall, he immediately felt the heavy atmosphere that enveloped the entire hall.

These days, the number of wolves has increased instead of decreasing. The Wolf King's expedition team has quietly returned, and many people including Baron Horn are not here...

It is backed by a 100-meter-high cliff, and in front is a gentle plain without obstacles.

The outer fort is surrounded by a three-meter-high earthen wall, with an area equivalent to a high school, and is where the servants and guards live.

One way, two ways, three ways...

At this time, a man dressed as a servant trotted towards Roja.

Luke's mother, Lady Heaney, Baron Horn's wife.

As soon as Roja finished speaking, the crowd immediately cheered.

Roya followed the servant and walked towards Okomen Castle.

Sure enough, I saw many people who were supposed to set out with Baron Horn to defeat the Wolf King.

Even if it is divided evenly among dozens of members of the defense team, it is definitely a huge sum of money.

Surrounded by the crowd, Roja returned to Silla Town.

And Baron Horn's palm-wide heavy sword, the flame-cutting sword, which he usually keeps close to his body, is now in Luke's hand.

Everyone already understands.
