"Master Suhlen, are you saying that you stole someone else's wife and ran away because you were afraid of being hunted down?"
"How can you accuse me of something I didn't do? What do you mean by running away? This is a strategic shift. Madam Elizabeth Jie and I are truly in love. How can you bumpkins know the greatness of true love? "Su Lun said loudly and righteously.
"How can you call it stealing when it's a noble's business? We're in love. Do you understand? " What followed was a series of words that were difficult to understand, such as guardian knights, masquerade ball, and a bunch of other terms that no one could understand. The caravan was filled with a joyous atmosphere.
In the open wilderness, a caravan was slowly moving forward. Suhlen sat in a carriage piled with goods, holding a straw in his mouth as he argued loudly with the mercenaries around him. Next to him was a half-empty bottle of rum.
The autumn sun was still a little harsh. An old cloak hung from a sword on the guardrail of the carriage, blocking most of the noon sun.
Traveling in the wilderness was a very boring thing. In order to pass the time, the caravan would also talk about some interesting things.
The road in the wilderness was rugged and uneven. Even if the carriage was stacked with thick straw to reduce the shock, it was not very comfortable. However, compared to those who traveled on foot or on horseback, it was much more comfortable.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Defend! " Just when Suhlen was bored, a loud shout suddenly came from the front. The caravan immediately stopped moving forward. All the carriages began to form a defensive circle with the front of the carriage facing inwards. Looking at these people's busy but orderly movements, it was obvious that this was not the first time.
Suhlen had already picked up his sword and stood on the carriage looking into the distance. In the wilderness in the distance, a scout was riding a horse and galloping toward them. Behind him, hundreds of black shadows were quickly approaching. When they got closer, they could see clearly that they were Gnolls.
Gnolls were very dangerous creatures in the wilderness. Adult Gnolls were more than two meters tall, and the male Gnolls were about two meters tall. They had sharp claws and teeth, and their strength and speed were superior to that of ordinary humans. They were also bloodthirsty and cruel. More importantly, Gnolls were tribal creatures.
A small tribe had at least a few dozen warriors, a medium-sized tribe had at least a few hundred, and a large tribe had even more. Gnolls were not the most numerous species in the wilderness. The most numerous species were goblins and kobolds.
Compared to Gnolls, Goblins and Kobolds were much weaker. Even a farmer could easily deal with three Goblins if he was careful. These monsters were useless except for their numbers.
Gnolls were not wild beasts. On the contrary, they were highly intelligent and could make weapons and armor. Although their equipment was very crude compared to humans, it was enough to survive in the wilderness.
The Gnolls in the distance quickly approached. Suhlen could clearly see their dark green skin, dirty dark yellow manes, and coyote-like heads.
In addition to these Gnolls, there were even more Kobolds and Gnomes. They were probably the Gnolls' enslaved cannon fodder.
The Gnolls had poor discipline, and the Goblins and Kobolds were even worse. A group of monsters rushed over in a disorderly manner, but when they saw the Chariot Formation, they could not help but stop 150 meters away from the Chariot Formation.
Whether it was Gnolls, Kobolds, or Gnomes, they mostly relied on human wave tactics. It was because of the hundreds of monsters that they had the courage to directly attack a caravan of more than 20 carriages.
…
Yegus was a Gnoll leader. He led a small Gnoll tribe. He had personally bitten off his father's throat and inherited it. Under his leadership, the small tribe continued to grow in strength and was developing into a medium-sized tribe. Hundreds of Gnoll warriors, along with hundreds of Gnomes and Kobolds, were a force to be reckoned with in the entire wilderness.
He had a total of 30 Gnoll Barbarians. As an advanced type of Gnoll, these Gnoll Barbarians were taller and stronger than ordinary Gnolls. It could be said that he could rely on these 30 Gnoll Barbarians to wipe out a small tribe. It was also because of these 30 Gnoll Barbarians that he had enough confidence to besiege a caravan of more than 20 carriages.
When they got closer, the two sides began to confront each other. Yegus' cold eyes revealed a hint of mockery. He already felt that victory was in his hands. After the previous long-distance attack, the Gnolls were fine, but the Kobolds and Gnomes were already panting. If the humans dared to directly attack at this time, these Kobolds and Gnomes would not be able to stop them.
However, if the humans really did so, the result would be very tragic. The humans could still resist by relying on the defensive circle formed by the carriages. If they attacked, he was confident that he could directly crush them with the 30 Gnoll Barbarians. In fact, he originally planned to do so, but the humans were too cowardly and did not dare to attack.
So now he could only command the Kobolds and Gnomes to attack.
The two sides confronted each other for a while. After seeing that the humans did not show any flaws, Yegus directly commanded the Gnolls to drive the Gnomes and Kobolds to attack.
Suhlen looked at the group of bandits not far away and was filled with excitement. In his eyes, these bandits were all experience bags. He had been in this fantasy world for more than 10 years. Until now, he still remembered that he was hiding in his dormitory on a dark and windy night playing Rise of Empires 8. He was controlling Brother Yun to carry the Cang Emperor Sword all over the map to find immortals to increase his attributes.
In the end, he was too tired from staying up all night and fell asleep. When he woke up again, he was in this world. He had become the owner of Suhlen's body.
As for the original owner, Suhlen, he was the son of a noble. Originally, he still yearned for the corrupt life of a feudal and medieval noble. However, although Suhlen was not an illegitimate child, his mother was a maid who passed away when he was eight years old. Suhlen was so sad because of his mother's death that he could not breathe and died.
Then, a soul from another world took over the body with the Rise of Empires system. Although his father was a count, his situation was far from that of his cheap brothers. Compared to those servants, he didn't have to work at all.
After recovering, Suhlen wanted to change this situation. Then, he began to learn martial arts and knowledge. With the help of the system, his martial arts improved rapidly. Whether it was practicing or sparring, he would gain experience. Just by accumulating experience through years of training, Suhlen's martial arts and body became stronger at an unimaginable speed. Moreover, after transmigrating, he obtained three initial characteristics.
Valiant: Greatly increases the chance of activating a sure-kill skill.
Swift Thunder: Greatly increases the speed of attack.
Pegasus: Greatly increases the speed of movement.
With these three characteristics in hand, Su Lun's reputation in Kalen City rose in the next few years. In addition, he was a noble himself. If this continued, it would be easy for Su Lun to gather a group of followers and fight for a noble title.
However, on a hot summer day this year, the blood father of this body, Count Varner Cullen, decided to grant Suren a baronetcy for some unknown reason when the fire of his life was about to be extinguished. He made Suren a noble with real power.
