Sundberg, the city lord's mansion.
City Lord Jonathan paced around the study, his hands behind his back, his face filled with anxiety. He muttered to himself, "How could there be so many? Where did they come from? Could they really be the remains of a saint? This shouldn't be happening. This can't be happening. This is impossible."
"No, I don't believe it!"
"No, no, no, now is not the time to think about this. We have to call back the noble knight. If that guy comes back with so many skeletons..."
"Yes, call him back, it should still be in time!"
Jonathan made a decision, called over his closest servant, and whispered a few instructions at a very fast pace.
The servant nodded repeatedly, quickly left the study, led a fast horse out of the city lord's mansion, jumped on the horse, raised the whip and galloped out of the city lord's mansion.
The guard at the door just looked at the servant with a little surprise, and when he recognized that the servant was the city lord, he said no more and continued to stand guard honestly.
The servants rushed out of the inner city, the outer city, and into the wilderness.
…
On the hillside several kilometers away from the undead team, hundreds of people were on high alert. Leading them were three noble knights, who were wearing heavy knight armor, with one-handed knight swords on their waists, and even their horses were covered in heavy armor.
Standing high and seeing far, they can easily see things in the distance on the hillside, and a long team appears in their sight.
"Is that the team?" A knight looked at the mighty team and asked his two noble knight companions.
"No way, City Lord Jonathan said the other side only had a few hundred people, but that team obviously has more than a few hundred people." Another knight responded uncertainly.
Because they were far away, they couldn't find out the exact number, but they could still tell whether the group was composed of hundreds or thousands of people.
That long line obviously consisted of more than a few hundred people, just as Jonathan had said.
Could it be a caravan?
Large-scale caravans were not uncommon. After all, they had to cross the wilderness, and more people were needed for safety. Caravans of thousands of people often traveled between the various cities of the Kingdom of Anli.
But they haven't heard of any large caravan passing through Sundberg City recently.
"No, I feel that the team is the one that City Lord Jonathan mentioned. No one else will pass by here at this time. Even if there is, City Lord Jonathan should stop them." The last knight analyzed.
The other two knights remained silent and looked at him speechlessly.
This guy's EQ is a bit low!
That was a team of thousands of people, and there were only a few hundred people on their side in total, and there were quite a few serfs among them.
Jonathan asked them to come and help deal with a group of strange thugs, saying that there were hundreds of thugs. They came because there were only a few hundred thugs!
As noble knights, they have expensive equipment and professional bonuses. They are different from ordinary people and are professional fighters. To fight ten people at once is an insult to them. For fully equipped heavy cavalry, fighting a hundred people at once is a basic task!
It was normal for a dozen heavily armored knights to directly attack more than a thousand rebellious serfs.
Three or four hundred thugs could be easily dealt with by their three heavily armored knights, along with their light cavalry attendants, infantry attendants, and serf soldiers.
They have done this kind of thing many times. Thugs are usually just ordinary people who are a little bit more ferocious. When facing them, the problem can be solved in minutes.
But it’s different when the enemy has thousands of people. It’s not something that can be dealt with by three heavily armored cavalrymen. It will take at least a dozen of them to charge into the battle formation, and then cooperate with other types of troops to deal with it.
No matter how strong the three of them were, they would not dare to charge into a team of a thousand people. That would not be charging into the formation, but seeking death. Once they were surrounded by the thugs, their horses would lose their mobility and they would most likely be killed in the thugs.
Every heavy cavalryman is a treasure of the kingdom. They are nobles who enjoy a good life. How could they easily hand over their lives to thugs?
Stop being funny.
Obviously, things have gone beyond expectations. If no one said anything, they would just let the group go as a caravan. Even if someone investigated it later, it wouldn't matter. At that time, they were talking about a mob of hundreds of people, not thousands.
But now that someone has brought it up, there is no way around it. If I don't do something and just let thousands of thugs leave, I will be called a coward, and then I will have no chance of staying in the knight circle.
As aristocrats, what they care about is face.
"Then... what should we do now? Charge?" The knight who spoke first was a little undecided and asked tentatively.
"Charge a formation of thousands of people?" another knight added.
The two of them were still looking at the last knight, who was the one who suggested that it was a group of thugs.
The two people's meaning was very clear. You should be sensible and take back what you said. We are still good friends. Turn around and leave with your people, return to your own fiefdom and enjoy life happily.
Obviously, the last knight was a fool and didn't understand what the two men meant. Instead, he burst into laughter. "Bravery is a knight's beautiful quality. Dying on the battlefield is a knight's best destination. How can we betray our own virtues just because of the number of enemies!"
Oh my god!
This guy is a fool!
His father is not like that.
It's really crazy to pass the knight position to such a guy.
The two knights' faces were covered by metal masks, otherwise one could see that their expressions were distorted and they were trying hard to suppress the urge to curse.
