I have a shelter in the last days

Chapter 263 The Duke of Cayman

The knights spotted Liana almost as soon as she appeared.Their reaction was quite quick. When they saw the girl who suddenly ran out of the forest, they immediately put down their work and lined up to protect the nobles and old scholars around the center. One of the leading knight commanders also pulled out He walked up to meet the girl with the metal pointed spear hanging on his back.

There were so many knights here, and Liana finally felt relieved when she saw the crowd, although she didn't know why they had such a large team hiding in the forest and camping.Immediately, a burst of dizziness struck, and Lianna felt dizzy for a while. She only had time to say: "Be careful of the Mandis bug..." and fell to the ground unconsciously.

The knight commander stepped forward quickly, checked the fainted girl, and then returned to the young nobleman and whispered: "Your Highness, she just passed out from exhaustion."

The young nobleman nodded and pushed aside the guarded knight formation, then looked at the girl lying on the ground and said, "Help her up first, I seem to have heard her say 'be careful of Mandis bugs' before she fainted." '? Kou Jin, do you think she encountered the Mandis swarm?" This young nobleman is His Royal Highness Ann Cayman, the first heir to the Duke of Cayman.

"Yes, Your Highness, I heard that too. From the beginning just now, our howler worms have been a little restless. I thought it was because they were not used to the forest environment, but now it seems that they may have sensed the Mandis worms. If there are really Mandis swarms nearby, then we may need to prepare for battle, these beasts are not so easy to deal with." The knight commander named Cole suggested with some seriousness.

"Go, if she escaped from the claws of the Mandis bugs, then I believe those bug swarms should not be far away from us, and the breath of so many of us will definitely attract the attention of those Mandis bug swarms , tell everyone to cheer up and not be careless." Ann Cayman nodded and said.

So Kou called on the knights under him to appease and mount his roaring bug, and separated out three teams to tightly surround Ann Cayman, the old scholar and the girl around the bonfire. This time they He didn't get off the roaring worm, but rode on the worm and scanned the surrounding depths of the forest vigilantly.

With the appeasement of the knights, the turmoil of the roaring insects gradually subsided. They are all excellent insect beasts that have received strict training. Those inferior worms and beasts who don't obey their orders run away desperately.

Soon there were bursts of "hissing" sounds in the forest, and with the sound of a plant being trampled, a group of Mandis appeared in front of everyone.It may be because this team is relatively large, the group of Mandis insects did not launch an attack as abruptly as they attacked the missionary girl group, but stopped far away.However, judging from their constantly exchanging and rubbing knife-like forelimbs, it seems that they have no intention of giving up this group of prey, but are just looking for a better opportunity to attack.

"In the territory of the Cayman family, Mandisi swarms are not allowed! My knights, destroy them!" Ann stood in the crowd and stared at the group of Mandisi with their spears raised high and said loudly.

"Kill!" Kou was ready to charge as early as the appearance of the Mandisi. At this time, he took the lead, holding the metal spear in his hand, charging towards the nearest Mandisi and fighting with it. Together, the rest of the knights rushed towards the Mandis swarm with shouts of killing.In fact, there are more than 100 people in their line, and there are less than 30 Mandis worms in this group. The well-equipped and well-trained knights are not as helpless as civilians when facing Mandis worms , the metal armor will protect their bodies from being instantly torn apart by the Mandisi worms, and the sharp metal spears are enough to pierce the hard shell of the Mandisi worms to bring them enough damage.

Therefore, such a small-scale insect swarm cannot pose too much threat to them, and as the most elite knights of the local lord Cayman family, one of their responsibilities is to eliminate or drive away the Cayman family in the territory of the Cayman family. The Diss swarm protects the integrity of the territory and the safety of the citizens.The battle with the Mandis bugs is not unfamiliar to these knights, or in other words, because of the long-term unification of the empire, they may be better at fighting these bugs than fighting other people, because every year The Man family will organize their own private soldiers to clear and drive away the Mandis swarms that appear in the Dominion. The knights have more or less experience in fighting these damned beasts.

Speaking of the tallest building in the city of Bourton, apart from St. Bourton Cathedral on the southeast side of the city, that is the city lord's mansion of the local lord, the Grand Duke of Bourton.

The City Lord's Mansion is located in the center of Bourton City, surrounded by a wide man-made river. Only the main gate has a bridge that can be retracted.As the main residence of the Cayman family, it has a history of more than 800 years. In the long years, the City Lord's Mansion has been repaired and expanded several times, and this has reached its current scale.Different from the mud wall structure of common people's houses, most noble castles are mainly made of masonry structure. The masonry of the wall is bonded with a secretion called construction insects as an adhesive, which can be used as a military It exists like a fortress, a strong fortress used to resist the invasion of foreign enemies, and neither the catapult nor the wood can shake the brick wall of the castle.As the local lord and the largest noble in the local area, the main body of the Cayman family's castle is a huge square dome tower with a height of about 4 to 50 meters by human standards and a length and width of more than 1000 meters. There are more than a hundred rooms inside. , This is the place where family members and servants live and live.In addition, within a range of less than 6 meters around the main building, there are six huge sentry towers with a height of more than 5 floors distributed around the arch guard, which are not only used as defensive buildings in times of crisis, but also as a place to house the family's private soldiers on weekdays.Beyond the moat embankment is a large circle of masonry walls, and there is even a large open space in the north of the main body of the castle, which is used as a training ground for the family's private soldiers to train and family members to learn how to control screamers and martial arts.

The Duke of Cayman is in his 50s and has been in the Grand Dukedom for 20 years.Time has left traces on his body, his shell is no longer as shiny as the young man's, and even the tentacles on the top of his head are no longer raised frequently, but time has also bestowed on him enough wisdom to lead his family, manage family territory.Today, the old Duke is meeting a guest in his own drawing room.
