"This... This is from the wild people?!"
Staring at the arrow with metallic luster, Marquis Bilson, who was still slightly drunk, immediately woke up.
The six arrows in front of us, both the arrow body and the arrow feather, are extremely rough. The six arrows use at least four kinds of animal feathers. However, the arrow is not only cast with fine iron, but also has uniform specifications. As long as you look at the grinding marks, you can know that it is mass-produced under orderly conditions.
"Yes, sir," said the captain of the bodyguard, "this is what our men wanted to capture outside the Great Wall in the north this morning. For this reason, we lost nine knights, killed 13 wild people, and captured more than 20 people."
Boulder fortress is not a single fortress, but two fortresses built in two valleys.
"Beyond the Great Wall?" Damon Bilson stood up.
"Damn bastard, who let them leave the fortress! Didn''t I say that it''s forbidden to take the initiative without my order!!"
With saliva on his face, the captain of the bodyguard said in embarrassment: "Sir, dimad took people out. It is said that the wild people kept provoking, even took off their pants and peed directly at the knights on the fortress. Moreover, with master dimad''s temper, sir longbell and others are afraid they can''t stop..."
"Enough!" Damon Bilson interrupted his bodyguard when he heard that the bastard was his son.
"Stupid thing, can a few pees break the fortress!" he scolded discontentedly, and then ordered, "send someone to inform the fool and let him stay in the fortress honestly in the future! In addition, tell longbell and others that if dimad dares to fool again, he will be put in prison immediately!"
The bodyguard first nodded and then said, "Sir, in fact, it''s thanks to master dimad this time, otherwise we still won''t know until now that the wild people have this kind of arrow that can break armor."
"Don''t speak well for that boy. Without his competitive spirit, his uncle Lowell will find out these problems sooner or later, and don''t have to lose so many Knights!"
Lowell Bilson, his younger brother, served as the garrison captain of DOMA, and now went to the South fortress.
Compared with the northern fortress, the valley of the southern fortress is several times more spacious and requires more troops.
Now there are nearly 3000 troops gathered in the whole boulder fortress, including more than 800 knights, including mercenaries.
The terrain of the northern fortress is narrow. As long as you don''t take the initiative, more than 100 knights and 200 serfs with spears are enough to ensure the safety of the fortress. It was because of this that he sent his son to the North fortress and strictly prohibited him from going out of the city to meet the enemy.
After staring at the feather arrows on the table for a while, Damon Bilson said to the returning captain with a gloomy face: "the arrows are obviously polished with a grinding wheel. Even if the wild people recast the scrap iron in their hands, they can''t be so fine. These arrows must have been transported out of the kingdom!"
The captain of the bodyguard nodded. It was precisely because he had the same idea that he brought these feather arrows in a hurry.
"My Lord, apart from being cast with refined iron and polished with grinding wheel, these arrows are obviously soaked in castor oil. These characteristics are very similar to the weapons made by Shanghe collar, and I specially compared them. These armor breaking arrows are almost no different from those sold to us by the other party!"
Seeing that the two thought together, Marquis Bilson immediately ordered in a low and calm voice: "go and send someone to find elif''s bastard. If he dares to resist, he will directly break his legs! Also, control his wife and two children."
"My Lord, I have sent someone to find him. If there is no accident, he should be on his way to the castle."
……
Seeing the Knights of glanburg, elif thought that the Marquis had any new needs for weapons. But it was not until he was brought to Marquis Bilson and hit by a feather arrow thrown by the other party that he suddenly realized that something bad should have happened.
"Elif," Damon Bilson stared at him coldly, "these feather arrows were captured from the wild people this morning. If you want to leave here alive, you''d better explain it to me honestly! Otherwise, not only you, your wife and two children, don''t want to live!"
Marquis Bilson''s words made elif tremble, and the feather arrow in his hand almost shook off to the ground again.
He tried to calm himself. When he looked at the arrow in his hand, he immediately understood the problem.
"No, sir!" he said hurriedly, "it has absolutely nothing to do with me. Selling iron weapons to wild people is a felony that will be hanged. I will never do such a stupid thing. Please find out the truth!"
"The truth?" Marquis Bilson smiled ferociously at him. "Damn it, only you can get these things from the river collar in the whole averier county. Don''t tell me that these arrows are not from the river collar! Otherwise, I will make your head and lifeblood not belong to you!"
"No, no, no, the arrow is forged by the river collar, but I''m not the one who sold it to the wild people! As you said, only I can get iron from the river collar in averier county. In that case, how can I do such a stupid thing that will be found and hanged by you sooner or later! Lord Marquis, it must be sold to the wild people by others!"
"Do you think I can let you go if you say so? Today, avery lost more than a dozen knights and several others were injured because of this damn arrow! Others? Tell me who the others are."
How do I know who there is! Elif cursed in his heart, but immediately said, "Sir, I don''t know who the others are. But if you allow me to speculate boldly, I think I can give some clues."
"Say!"
"Yes, my Lord."
After thinking a little, elif said quickly, "Sir, if you want to transport these arrows to the dogamia grassland, you must pass through the north and South fortresses, and all the caravans passing through these two fortresses must be searched by your knights."
"Although I don''t know who sold these arrows to the wild people, no matter who, besides you, wants to sell iron to the wild people, he will collude with the garrison. In addition, these armor breaking arrows can be used in war. I don''t think the number will be too small."
"I can provide you with my own account book. You can also ask the count of shangheling. The armor breaking arrows I trafficked from shangheling to averier are only provided to your vassals and the God of light..."
Speaking of this, elif paused. Seeing that the other party didn''t interrupt him, he then said, "Lord Marquis, in fact, I don''t have any spare arrows to sell to the wild people, and your vassal, in recent months, I sold them only more than 1000 arrows, and only more than 300 armor breaking arrows."
Elif didn''t go on. He felt that he had said it clearly enough and enough to clear his suspicion.
