Chapter 277: Arriving at Anbian City a Step Ahead

In the battle of Jushi City, some soldiers were exhausted all over, even if they were not injured.

However, when they heard Ruidar and Tolu say they were going to assemble troops to recover Liusha Town and other lost towns, they still signed up enthusiastically.

Just as Baron German said, not only did those soldiers with minor injuries strongly request to participate, but even those who had lost too much blood and were about to faint wanted to join.

Because they knew the upcoming battles would not be very dangerous, and only a fool would pass up this easily attainable honor and wealth.

The reorganization of the new team was completed quickly.

After a short rest and finishing their lunch, a large troop of knights led cavalry out of Jushi City.

This time, for the convenience of traveling, they did not even carry rations, because the castles in the towns along the way had what they needed.

For the Noble Allied Forces, it was a pity that Kaxier Town had been occupied by Luoning first; otherwise, they could have looted a fortune in these two places.

Luoning and Ruidar arrived at Chishan Town with the team and listened to Maiken's report.

"My Lord, the process of us occupying Kaxier Town and Chishan Town was very smooth. However, in the few small-scale conflicts that broke out, more than a dozen Infantry were still seriously injured, one of whom had his neck cut on the spot, and even though Aierlong used a powerful Healing Spell on the spot, he could not be saved."

Aierlong said helplessly: "The head was left with only a bit of skin and flesh hanging on the neck; the injury was too severe to be saved."

"There will always be casualties in war; this is something that cannot be helped."

Luoning said: "Record the list of the casualties; we will provide compensation after returning to Wubei Territory."

Even military exercises have casualties, let alone this kind of real war.

Even with Maiken and Aierlong providing escort, casualties were inevitable.

Luoning cherished the Knight Squad he had worked so hard to build, but he also understood that only a team that had experienced real combat and bathed in blood would have stronger combat effectiveness.

And to be honest, compared to the losses of the other Noble Allied Forces, the casualty figures of Wubei Territory were as small as they could possibly be.

"The war is nearing its end, but there are still a few towns waiting for us to recover."

The enemies were mostly dead, and the subsequent recovery battles had no difficulty, so Luoning handed the command to Tolu and Mawen; he did not intend to keep running with the team.

"Qiaofuli, from now on, you will lead the knights and cavalry to act with the Noble Allied Forces and head directly to Anbian City."

Qiaofuli was stunned; he did not expect the lord to suddenly let him lead the troops, so he immediately responded happily and loudly: "Yes, My Lord!"

"Luogena, you and Kelami take forty Infantry and all the Archers to Sari Town and Liusha Town. Jennie, you take the rest of the people to stay behind in Chishan Town and Kaxier Town and guard the two warehouses."

Everyone received their orders and acted one after another.

For Luoning, the gains brought by Chishan Town and Kaxier Town were already enough; continuing to follow the Allied Forces was purely out of consideration for training the troops.

Of course, besides not killing the innocent indiscriminately or looting wantonly, whether they could have extra gains depended on these people themselves.

"My Lord, they all have tasks, so what about me?"

Maiken scratched his head and asked unwillingly.

He had already learned about the great battle of Jushi City from Ruidar, especially the killing of the Meteor-level Knight; this was a battle that knights would yearn for upon hearing about it, yet he had missed it perfectly.

Although occupying Kaxier Town and Chishan Town was also an important matter, it had no great difficulty for Maiken, and he felt increasingly regretful for not participating in the Battle of Jushi City.

Luoning smiled mysteriously: "We have other operations."

Anbian City was the most frontier city in the southwest of Wushan Ridge, and for these years, it had been the base camp of the Bolante Bandit Group; there must be a large amount of Amikusi's wealth inside its castle.

Although the cavalry of the Noble Allied Forces moved quickly, with delays and rest along the way, it would take at least two days to reach Anbian City.

That place was closer to Yueguang Valley.

In case the news of Amikusi being killed reached the ears of Hesusu, it was hard to guarantee that the other party would not have designs on Anbian City.

Of course, Yueguang Valley would naturally not send troops to Anbian City personally, as that would be an infringement on Wushan Ridge.

However, he could send his Griffin knights to land in the castle of Anbian City and take away the wealth of Amikusi that they had supported.

Luoning did not mind sharing the fruits of victory with the Noble Allied Forces, but he would not allow people from Yueguang Valley to come and encroach on the wealth of Wushan Ridge.

As Kaierluosi flapped his wings, Luoning took Maiken, Aierlong, and Ruidar to head for Anbian Castle.

Anbian City was called "Anbian" (Riverside) because it leaned against the Altai River, and this river was also the boundary of Wushan Ridge.

Likewise, because it leaned against the big river, the riverside had relatively fertile land and was once an important grain-producing area for Wushan Ridge.

Even if it had been controlled by the bandit group for these years, the grain output here would certainly not be small.

"What Along river!"

Riding on the dragon's back, Luoning looked at the winding big river below, and for a moment, he could not help but think of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River of his hometown.

"This place should have had better development, but it's a pity that it's a borderland with too much right and wrong."

Withdrawing his thoughts, Luoning looked at Anbian City on one side.

After all, it was the base camp of a bandit group; judging from the number of buildings, the population of this city should not be small.

The four people on the dragon's back observed the city while looking for the location of Anbian Castle.

Wushan Fortress.

Lulansi carefully finished reading the letter brought by Carolina twice, finally revealing a bright smile, and praised loudly: "Not bad!"

"What has Father encountered to be so happy?"

Weijinsi was full of surprise; he had not seen Lulansi smile so happily in all these years.

"It's a letter from Luoning."

Lulansi handed over the letter, and Buleidun immediately ran over.

"Brother took down Chishan Town?"

Weijinsi shook his head and said: "How could it be that fast? I guess it's just an initial victory?"

"Father is the same; Luoning has so many troops, it's only right that he beat the Bolante Bandit Group, why are you so happy?"

Daianni could not help but pat Weijinsi's hand, signaling him to speak less if he did not know how to speak.

If it were just an initial victory, would the Marquis be this happy?

Thinking with one's toes, there must be other good news in this letter.

Buleidun held the letter paper, reading while saying in shock: "Brother Luoning, they... have captured Jushi Castle!"

"What?"

Weijinsi exclaimed, "Buleidun, have you lost your mind? Jushi Castle is Baron Keruien's castle; Luoning captured it?"

Buleidun also looked at Lulansi in confusion.

"Keruien betrayed Wushan Castle; he joined forces with the Bolante Bandit Group, preparing to kill the Noble Allied Forces and Luoning all at Chishan Town."

Lulansi was in a great mood and explained, "Fortunately, Luoning saw through their scheme, took the initiative to capture Jushi Castle, captured the traitor alive, and lured the Bolante Bandit Group into Jushi City to annihilate them all."

"This..."

Having suddenly received so much information, Weijinsi's brain couldn't quite process it.

The mere fact of Keruien's betrayal was something he couldn't imagine or accept, let alone the fact that Luoning had also lured the enemy and wiped out the Bolante Bandit Group.

Was this still his son?

At this moment, Buleidun widened his eyes: "The leader of the bandit group is a Meteor-level Knight; Brother Luoning and the others killed a Meteor Knight!"

"Good heavens, Buleidun, have you gone mad?"

Weijinsi could no longer hold back; he moved his wheelchair forward to snatch the letter.

It would have been fine if he hadn't read it, but after reading the letter, he felt he needed another brain.

"In this battle, Luoning's performance was truly excellent!"

Lulansi's eyes flickered; just from this letter, he could see the "brilliance" of this battle, and presumably, the reality was far more spectacular than the brief description in the letter.

Moreover, it was clear that this was Luoning's achievement.

He couldn't help but say in a deep voice, "At the victory banquet after they return in triumph, I will confer upon him the title of Count of Wubei Territory!" (End of this chapter)
