As Nalant's order was issued, the entire castle started to move.

This time is different from dealing with Dark Creature. They are going to attack other people's camps, so they need to be fully prepared.

The ladders made in advance, the bees needed tonight, as well as food and water all need to be prepared.

Nalant's original plan was to launch an attack at dawn, but now there are variables, so we can only rush ahead and improvise when the time comes.

Soon Nalant's twenty-five guards, fully armed, gathered in the vestibule.

"Storm Territory is my territory, Nalant, and it is also your home!"

"However, some people are wreaking havoc in my territory and your home. Not only do they plunder our wealth on Buffer Zone that belongs to us, but they also enter Storm Territory and kidnap serfs!"

"What do you think we should do in the face of such a hateful bandit?" Nalant had already put on a suit of armor and an iron helmet on his head. At this time, he was stroking the hilt of his sword and making final mobilizations to all his guards before the battle.

"Kill them!" Quick shouted immediately after hearing this!

"Kill them! Kill them"

As Quick took the lead, the guards at the rear immediately shouted out.

"Very good! As the lord of Storm Territory, your lord, today I will lead you to destroy these shameless bandits and drive out Storm Territory forever!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Now, everyone get on the carriage and let's set off!" Nalant was very satisfied. Seeing that the materials had been assembled under the arrangement of Thomas, he immediately got on the horse.

"Get in the carriage and go!" As the order was given, Vivian and Quick immediately asked the guards to get on the carriage.

Afterwards, Nalant took the lead and drove directly out of the castle with three carriages.

Because this time is too urgent, and the physical strength of the guards needs to be preserved, a carriage is necessary.

The group of people walked all the way, and after more than an hour, they finally reached a place one mile away from the border.

After hiding the carriage and horses, Nalant, a total of twenty-nine people, walked towards the border.

"Sherry, what's in the camp now?" After more than ten minutes of walking, Nalant's group finally reached the woods on the outskirts of the camp.

Although Sherry itself does not participate in the battle, her bees are also crucial to tonight's battle, so she is indispensable in this operation.

"Sir, Bee just told me that people in the camp seem to be loading things onto the carriage!" Sherry replied.

"That's right, this is loading ore?" Nalant couldn't help but look up at the sky.

It was only dusk at this time. If the convoy left after loading the ore, it would be very bad for him.

Sneak attacks are always most suitable at night. If they launch an attack in broad daylight, they will definitely suffer a loss if their numbers are too small.

If the other party really transports the ore away during the day, Nalant has only two options.

Or reselect the target of the attack, such as ambush the convoy on its return road, and rob the convoy when the time comes.

The other option is to let the convoy go, continue to ambush yourself and others, and wait until midnight to sneak attack the camp.

This is really not a good choice for Nalant. They can attack the convoy. Even if they succeed, they have already alerted the enemy by then. It will not be easy to capture the camp in the future.

But if the convoy is allowed to transport the ore away, Nalant feels reluctant to part with it and feels that he has suffered a huge loss.

"Damn it, you can only take one step at a time! I hope Mr. Rongguang will bless you, and it's best to let the team stay in the camp overnight!" Nalant silently prayed to Mr. Rongguang.

At the same time, in Quinte Camp, Dili was entertaining Johnny who came to transport the ore back to the castle.

"Come, Johnny, have a drink, it's still early before dark!" Although Johnny does not have a noble status, he has the trust of Quinte, so Dili also looks up to him.

"Thank you Sir Dili!" Johnny did not refuse.

"Johnny, is the baron territory still stable recently? I have been in the camp for more than two months and I don't know the current situation in the territory!" After sitting down, Dili drank the beer in his glass in one gulp and asked Johnny.

"Sir Dili, Quinte Territory, nothing big has happened recently. Lord Quinte's brother has been quiet a lot lately!"

"Well, that's good! Now that we have this mineral deposit, in just one or two years, maybe the opportunity for adults will come!" Dili nodded, with a look of excitement on his face.

Earl Blackiron has a total of two children, one is the eldest son with inheritance rights, and the other is the illegitimate son Quinte.

The two heirs of Earl Blackiron are not harmonious and have been fighting openly and secretly in recent years.

Especially when Earl Blackiron's first wife died of illness three years ago, Quinte's mother took advantage of the situation and took over.

Since then, Quinte's status has grown and his ambition has grown. He can't stand his status as an illegitimate son, and he wants to inherit the title of Earl Blackiron one day.

But the eldest son is the heir of Earl Blackiron after all, and he has the support of many Earl Blackiron vassals.

As for Quinte, although his mother is a pillow fan, in this world of sequential inheritance, his winning rate is still slim.

However, just two months ago, Quinte got a Yellow Sprite from Earl Blackiron.

It was this Yellow Sprite that gave Quinte hope of defeating the eldest son.

Because the mineral deposits discovered by Yellow Sprite are very precious.

As long as it is mined for one or two years, the overall strength of Quinte will definitely skyrocket.

If Quinte can really get more heirs by then, then these vassals like Dili will definitely become great contributors, which is why Dili is so excited.

Johnny smiled heartily when he saw Dili's excitement. The next moment he remembered something, so he said, "By the way, Sir Dili, although there have been no big things in the territory recently, there is one small trouble, and it made Sir Quinte quite angry!"

"Oh? What's the trouble?" Dili stopped smiling and spoke curiously.

"You may not believe it, but this trouble comes from our next-door neighbor Storm Territory!"

"Storm Territory? How is this possible? Those unlucky ghosts have the guts to cause trouble for Master Quinte?"

Dili didn't believe it. That day, the lord named Nalant was threatened outside his camp and walked away in despair.

Originally, he had been on guard for a few days, but during this period there was no accident at all.

Even if the lord of Storm Territory had a little bit of backbone, he should have sent someone to secretly shoot two cold arrows or something, but he didn't even dare to shoot one. He was indeed the unlucky lord who was assigned to Land of Misfortune.
