When Abel came out of the VIP room, the discussion on the side attracted his attention. A few merchants were chatting in the lounge of the auction house.
"Have you seen Lord Marshall's golden armor?"
"I haven't seen it, but I've heard people talking about it these days."
"But I've seen it. At that time, my eyes were dazzled. Just yesterday, Lord Marshall came to Harvest City wearing his golden armor. When he came down from the carriage pulled by the fiery bulls, I thought I saw a ball of sunlight. The armor was so shiny that I could see his shadow."
"Some time ago, Prince Wyatt George's bodyguards, the Kingdom Protector's armor was also golden, right?"
"How can that be compared? The golden armor of the Kingdom Protector's Guard is like brass compared to Lord Marshall's armor."
When Abel heard this, he already knew that his dear uncle Marshall had worn the Taurus armor to Harvest City to show off. However, what this merchant said was true. The golden armor of the Kingdom Protector's Guard was indeed mixed with a large amount of brass. That was why it was golden. Although the armor's defense was reduced, but the kingdom's dignity was the most important thing. A little bit of defense was not important.
"Lord Abel, if you can take out the same golden armor as Lord Marshall's, it will be very popular!" Ms. Yvette suggested softly.
Abel chuckled, waved his hand and said, "That armor took too long. It took me a lot of time and effort. I won't make a second one for the time being."
In fact, Abel had already decided that he would not sell the armor that was appraised as a golden armor by Master Thorin Oakenshield. From Master Thorin Oakenshield's words, he could feel that the materials used to make golden armor were more precious. If he sold it, people would doubt the source of his materials. Not many people could afford the high price of a golden armor.
Hearing Abel's excuse, Ms. Yvette did not try to persuade him anymore.
Abel left Edmond's Boutique Boutique to meet with the guards under Ms. Yvette's enthusiastic farewell.
After that, Abel went to all the shops in Harvest City that sold potions and bought the second set of potions. He only had 11250 gold coins left in his magic gold card.
A Knight from Harry's castle, Eliot, galloped over and bowed, "Young master, the Lord is looking for you everywhere. He wants you to see him. He is waiting for you in the yard."
"Eliot, how did you find me?" Abel asked curiously after bowing slightly in return.
"My lord's guards and Knight Squires have all come out looking for you. I was the first to find you," Eliot, the Knight Squire explained.
Seeing the anxious look on Eliot's face, Abel was a little surprised that Lord Marshall was looking for him in such a hurry. He quickly returned to the carriage and rushed to the yard of Harry's castle in Harvest City under the protection of the guards.
"Abel, you are finally here," Lord Marshall's face was gloomy as he walked a few steps forward and grabbed Abel who just got off the carriage.
"Uncle Marshall, what happened?" Abel quickly asked.
"Do you still remember the Saloyan senior Knight?" Lord Marshall did not answer Abel's question.
"Yes, of course. He was the one who led the army to encircle the orcs and won a great victory. He was made a Knight of the territory." Although they only met once, Abel had a deep impression of the Saloyan senior Knight. He was a humble Knight.
"Something happened to him." Lord Marshall said in a deep voice with a hint of sadness in his eyes. Ever since the last time they met in the city palace, Lord Marshall and the Saloyan senior Knight had met a few times. The two of them hit it off very well and had become very good friends.
The Saloyan senior Knight was a senior knight. There were not many senior knights in Harvest City. Not to mention, the Saloyan senior Knight was the commander of thousands of elite troops. What could have happened to him? Abel looked at Lord Marshall in confusion.
"The Saloyan senior Knight has been busy with the construction of his territory. He had just finished repairing the castle in his territory when it was attacked by the worgens. No one could escape from the castle. A servant who went to the city to buy food discovered the attack on his way back and reported to Harvest City. By the time the reinforcements arrived, the battle was already over. The Saloyan senior Knight was beheaded and his head was taken away by the worgens. "Lord Marshall finished the whole story with his teeth clenched.
"Was it the worgens' revenge?" Abel was a little surprised. He suddenly thought of the Woolf family worgen. Could it be that the Woolf family came for revenge?
"From the traces left behind in the castle, only one kind of orc participated in the battle. They were all wolf riders. A wolf rider that could kill a senior Knight is not a normal wolf rider." The Lord of Marshall looked at Abel and said, "This must be the revenge of the worgen. I'm sure the worgen nobles were involved in the encirclement last time. Since the elite knight of Saroyan commanded the battle, he and his castle were all slaughtered."
"You mean, our castle will be in danger too?" Abel finally understood why Lord Marshall was so anxious to find him.
"Let's go back to the castle quickly. We need to strengthen the castle's defense in case the worgens attack." The Lord of Marshall's voice was very calm, but Abel could clearly feel the murderous intent in his voice. He had experienced a life and death battle before.
"Can we ask the city lord to send some Knights to help us defend?" Abel felt that the worgens that could attack the castle and kill a senior Knight were very dangerous. Although he was not afraid of them, the normal people in the castle could not withstand the attack of the worgens. It was always better to have more people to defend the castle.
"After hearing this news, the city lord has already gathered all the Knights and the high ranking mercenaries in the mercenary union to prepare to defend Harvest City. The city lord is worried that the crazy worgens will attack Harvest City, so he can't send anyone to help us at the moment." Lord Marshall understood the city lord's arrangement, but he was very dissatisfied with the fact that the city lord did not send anyone to help at all.
Transferring some Knights from Harvest City would not affect the city's defense. Lord Marshall also did not believe that the worgens would send a large number of high ranking worgens to the deepest part of the human world. If the worgens' operation failed, the loss of these high ranking worgens would also be a blow to the worgens' status in the Orc Empire.
Whether it was the orcs or the humans, high ranking warriors were very precious. The resources used to train each high ranking warrior was very difficult for some small to medium sized families.
This was why the orcs would send a large number of newborn orc warriors to the human world, but rarely send high ranking warriors to the human world.
The orcs' fertility was very high, and the Orc Empire's resources were very limited. Every year, a large number of orc warriors would go through life and death trials for resources. The Orc Empire also used life and death trials to eliminate some of the weaker orc warriors. This way, they could reduce the consumption of resources, and they could also select elite warriors to expand their army.
According to Lord Marshall's estimation, there would not be too many high ranking Knights in the human world this time. A single Saloyan high ranking Knight would not be able to use a battle horse in the castle. At most, he would be equivalent to an elite warrior. Maybe he was a bit stronger than a normal knight, but he would not be able to use his ability to fight on horseback. On the other hand, the wolf riders had the most powerful mounts on the ground. As long as there were 2 high ranking wolf riders, they would not be able to escape from a Saloyan high ranking Knight.
The strength of a Knight was that the more people there were, the more power they could unleash. A knight could fight 1 wolf rider, and 10 knights could easily defeat 50 wolf riders if they were given enough time to charge. The survival ability of a single Knight would be greatly reduced.
Abel needed to prepare for the upcoming battle, so he said to Eliot's Knight servant, "Eliot, please help me buy a large number of small gems and send them back to Harry Castle as soon as possible."
As he said that, Abel placed his hand on the Hradik Cube and took out 5 100 gold coins. He put them into a money bag and handed it to Eliot's Knight servant.
"Yes, young master." Eliot's Knight servant did not ask what the gems were for. He just took the gold coins and rode away.
When Lord Marshall and Abel returned to Harry Castle, they saw that the castle was safe. They looked at each other and couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. On the way back, they were worried about whether the castle had been attacked or not.
They didn't have to worry about Abel's castle. Only a few people knew that the former Matthew's castle had become Abel's castle. Before the official award, the others only knew that Abel would be granted a territory.
