Chapter 189 Entering the Swamp Castle
1st
Galil remembered the places along the way very clearly. Before nightfall, he would always lead his team to find a manor to rest not far from the main road.
These manors are not large in scale. Some are properties of knights conferred by the Wushan Castle Knights, some are properties of knights who developed their territories, and some are properties belonging to other nobles.
But whatever the nature, they pay a fee to stay for a night.
This was much more comfortable than Luo Ning's previous trips to and from the territory and Wushan Castle.
There was nothing thrilling along the way, nor was there any attack or assassination. The group of people successfully arrived at the intersection of Seinland and Shanlin Town four days later in the morning.
When they first went to Wushanbao, Luo Ning and the others stopped at this three-way intersection.
At that time, he was still thinking whether Thain would belong to him when he came back again, but now this idea has been successfully realized.
"Tom."
"My lord, please give me your instructions."
Luo Ning glanced at the mountain forest, then looked at Galil and other knights beside him, and said:
"You immediately rush to Hillwood Town to inform Redal and ask him to bring the Shadow Assassin and all the Knights of Thain Land who were captured by him to Swamp Town."
"Oh, by the way, let Chahar, Wilson and others come over too. We are going to take over Swamp Town." He added.
Although Luo Ning had asked Viscount Marvin to help control the entrance and exit of Thain Territory in advance, the power from the outside world could only be borrowed for a short time.
If he wanted to truly take over the Thane Territory and maintain the security and defense here, he would ultimately have to rely on his own people to do so quickly.
Fortunately, for the current Shanlin Town, the only enemy has been eradicated.
Apart from the unstable factor of Warcraft, there are no other potential dangers in the entire territory.
"My subordinate understands!"
Tom bowed to the order and without any delay, he drove the horses directly into the forest and headed towards Hillwood Castle.
Galil glanced at Tom's leaving figure. He originally wanted to follow him to Hillwood Town to have a look, but it seemed that he would have no chance this time.
I donβt know how much change this man in front of me brought to Shanlin Town in the second half of last year.
"Galil, come with me to Swamp Town."
Luo Ning said with a smile: "Leisen's family and some of his knights are here, and the rest will be left to you."
Galil came back to his senses: "This is my responsibility, Lord Viscount."
The distinctive feature of Thain Territory is that it has swamps of different sizes but distributed everywhere.
Their presence makes the air humidity here relatively high, and also provides a good growth and habitat for many organisms.
Baron Leisen relied on this swamp to raise his family's black buffalo.
But according to Luo Ning's understanding of the swamp, simply using it as a base for breeding buffalo would be a waste of the value of the swamp.
Among other things, the peat abundant in the marshes is an excellent organic fertilizer and soil conditioner.
However, Luo Ning only had a preliminary idea on how to develop it. He also needed to understand the specific situation of Swamp Town first.
After climbing two hills, a winding road leads to a small town at the end.
The houses in the town don't look much more advanced than those in Shanlin Town, but there are more of them, which means that the population here is larger than that in Shanlin Town.
After Luo Ning and others got a little closer, they could see that there were already men and horses controlling the entrance to the town, and soon a knight galloped out from inside.
The knight spotted Luo Ning in the crowd at a glance, mainly because the silver and black pupil symbol of the Wushan family was very conspicuous.
"Falias Snow, the captain of the ninth knight team of Muma City, has met the Viscount of Wubei Territory!"
Luo Ning smiled and gestured, "The Snow family, is it Miss Kurami's Snow family?"
"Yes, my lord."
Farias said respectfully: "Klamy is my sister, but she is not here today."

As he spoke, he welcomed Ronin in, and soon, Mas Ironhoof, who was responsible for controlling the Thane Territory, and Baron Taron Snow also came out of the town.
Mars Ironhoof, the heir to the Ironhoof family, looks somewhat similar to Marvin, but is much taller.
Luo Ning didn't know much about Baron Taron Snow. He only knew that he should have silver-level strength. If Muma City were to form a knighthood, this baron would probably be the leader of the knighthood.
"I've seen Viscount Luo Ning!" The two of them dismounted to greet him.
Luo Ning also got off his horse, saluted each other, and introduced Galil.
On this occasion, Galil not only seemed to be escorting the prisoners, but also seemed to be assisting Ronin in taking over the Thain Territory.
After all, everyone has selfish motives. Viscount Marvin takes great care of Luo Ning, but that does not mean that his men can perfectly execute Marvin's orders.
If there is a dispute, it would be nice to have Galil there to witness it.
Fortunately, Luo Ning's worries were unnecessary. The people in Muma City were very disciplined.
According to Maas, when they first arrived in Thane Territory, Fenris, who was stationed in the territory, led a resistance.
It's a pity that most of the combat power of Leisen's territory was placed in the black-collar tribe. Fenris had no people at all. It was easy for Mas and others to break through the defense line and occupy the Swamp Castle.
In the past few days, the people in Muma City have not done anything else, such as confiscating property, searching for money, supplies, etc., except guarding the main traffic routes here and prohibiting everyone from entering and exiting.
According to Maas, they are only responsible for controlling access, and Luo Ning will take over other matters.
"Are all Leisen's family members under custody?" Luo Ning asked as he walked.
Mas shook his head, "Only Leisen's wife and daughter were captured here. His son Molavi did not return to Swamp Town for the New Year's celebration."
"Then a fish slipped through the net."
Ronin frowned slightly, "Galil, guess where this Moravi should be now?"
Galil pondered for a moment, "Molawi should be a student of Wushan Extraordinary Academy. Maybe he is still in Wushan Town at the moment?"
Wushan Town is located between Wushan City and Black Python City.
This town belongs directly to Wushanbao and is guarded by Melonica Taylor, the leader of the Third Knights of Wushanbao.
Luo Ning shook his head, "I think Moravi must have fled."
What happened in Wushan Fort has been spread for a long time, and Molavi should also be able to get the news.
If Ronin were Moravi, he would probably flee to the southwest into the Earldom of Hyde, where he might be able to hide and avoid trouble.
Molave's cultivation talent is far inferior to Brayton's. Even if the opponent is given time to grow, the possibility of becoming his opponent in the future is very small and will not pose a threat.
He just ran away, Luo Ning didn't care.
I just donβt know if Orson has contacted Leison in private.
If the other party protects Molavi in ββexchange for Leisen not confessing to certain crimes or revealing certain information, will Leisen agree in order to preserve the family bloodline?
Of course, this is just a guess on his part.
"Lord Viscount, ahead is Swamp Castle." Mas said, pointing to the castle ahead.
Luo Ning looked over.
The Swamp Castle is cleverly rooted in this wetland. Its main structure is made of dark hard stone. Even if it withstands the high humidity of the swamp all year round, it is still strong and well maintained.
The location of the Marsh Castle is also very clever. It is located in the middle of a swamp, leaving only a road leading to the castle gate, and the rest is surrounded by water.
If there are enough people to hold on to the castle, it will indeed be difficult to capture.
"Leisen is truly wealthy. The amount of gold coins spent building this castle is probably unimaginable!"
Ronin walked into Swamp Castle with anticipation.
