Chapter 61 Ambush
Cooper Tian Zicao is the eldest son of Baron Kulis Tian Zicao of Black Court, and also the heir of Baron Black Court.
He is now 24 years old and has cultivated to the realm of Great Knight.
He may make a contract with a fantasy beast at any time, or even with the wyvern of Tian Zicao's family, and become a dragon knight.
Family heirs like this usually postpone the time of contracting with fantasy beasts in order to focus on their own wyverns, hoping to be recognized by the wyverns as "virgins", and thus be promoted to dragon knights.
It is said that this "virgin" status has an extra attraction to wyverns, but no one has specifically counted the success rate.
It is just repeating the experience left by the ancestors.
This is the case for Cooper Tian Zicao, and the same is true for Russell's elder brother Roland Fluorescent Mushroom.
At this time, watching his wife being defeated for the second time, Cooper kept a smile on his face, being a qualified spectator.
Hearing Rowling's request to get back the place, he didn't move his feet, just laughed and said: "The weather is good today, Rowling, Russell and Lola, let's go fishing."
"Damn it! Cooper!" Rowling complained loudly.
Cooper pretended not to hear.
He took a cloak from the servant, put it on Rowling, and said with concern: "You just exercised and sweated. Go to the manor courtyard to wash up and change into clean clothes. Although the warm season has arrived, it is still a bit cold. Be careful not to catch a cold."
No matter how crazy Rowling was, Cooper just smiled gently.
No one cared. Russell, who didn't even have a cloak, supported his right hand with his left hand and touched his chin with his right hand. He sighed in his heart: "Is this the way to overcome strength with softness? I was a little worried about Rowling's married life. Now it seems quite harmonious."
The Black-waisted Snake Manor was too dull, so after Rowling washed up and changed clothes, Cooper said goodbye.
Russell sent the group to the Cinder Avenue: "Sister, Cooper, when are you going back?"
"The plan is to go back the day after tomorrow." Cooper said.
"Can't you stay for a week?"
"There are too many things in Black Court Mountain. My father went to the court to serve. Now the territory cannot do without me and Rowling."
"Baron Cullis went to the court to serve, so that's it." Russell expressed his understanding. The territory must have a person in charge. If Baron Cullis is not there, the heir Cooper must stand up, otherwise the territory will be in trouble sooner or later.
Rowling's mentality has calmed down, but her fighting spirit has not diminished: "Don't be lazy, Russell boy, wait for me to come back next year to compete!"
"I'm always here, my defeated sister." Russell said with a smile.
"Cooper, look at him, is he asking for a fight?"
Cooper laughed again: "Ah, haha."
Rowling rolled her eyes and then laughed herself: "Don't send Russell off, practice well at home, and wait for your sister to come back and teach you a lesson next year!"
"I'm always waiting."
Lola, who was almost forgotten, muttered: "Russell, the Black-waisted Snake Manor is not fun at all."
"Will you come to play next time?"
"Well...I will come!"
"Okay, you are welcome anytime."
Waving his hand, Russell stopped on the Glowing River Bridge and watched the Coopers and Lola disappear on the Cinder Avenue.
Evening.
Eric came with the golden and silver wolfhound Kevin: "My lord, the Wildcat sisters sent a message that the lone wolf Lisbon might leave the Xiangshui River Cave, pass by Alfalfa Village west of the Black Waist Snake Manor, and then go to the Savage Cave to start a war."
"Go to the Savage Cave to start a war?" Russell raised his eyebrows, "Instead of going through the cave secret passage, go to the Black Waist Snake Manor?"
"It is said that the cave secret passage is blocked by the free people in the Savage Cave, so Lisbon plans to pass through the Black Waist Snake Manor, raid the Savage Cave, and deal with the big stupid bear Grove in the Savage Cave."
There is a Savage Cave in the Bent Blade Mountain, which is a kind of cave with passages extending in all directions. Many free people live in it.
Big stupid bear Grove is the strongest one in the Savage Cave. He is not a ranger, but an armored knight.
Of course.
Compared with the Xiangshui River Cave, which is about to be integrated by the lone wolf Lisbon, the free people in the Savage Cave are more scattered, so Lisbon wants to annex the Savage Cave. And the biggest obstacle to annexing the Savage Cave is this big stupid bear Grove.
"Lone Wolf Lisbon is too proud. It's not enough to occupy the entire Xiangshui River Cave, and he even wants to annex the Savage Cave." Russell shook his head.
If Lone Wolf Lisbon really annexed the Savage Cave, Baron Roman might not even need Russell to take action.
The baron can tolerate the caves around the Yuguang River Valley, hiding a group of free people, but he will never allow these free people to unite and threaten the safety of the Yuguang River Valley.
"Lisbon is short-sighted, sir, it's time to take action to completely eliminate him once and for all." Charles said with a smile.
"Yes." Russell nodded.
Then he said to Eric: "Can we contact the Wildcat sisters now to determine Lisbon's exact travel route and time, and then we will ambush Lisbon and try to completely solve the problem of the Xiangshui River Cave this time."
"I'll let Kevin contact the Wildcat sisters." Eric immediately executed.
After nightfall, Kevin returned to the manor villa and brought a note handwritten by the Wildcat sisters with a line of crooked words on it.
"At midnight, close to the foot of the curved blade mountain, please pay attention."
After reading the note, Russell's expression was calm, but his heart was more or less surging: "Eric, how to ambush, you have the final say."
Eric said in a muffled voice: "Your Excellency, stay in the manor's courtyard. I will lead four knights to ambush you, while Charles will raid the formation."
"Yes!" The four knight attendants responded immediately.
They were not afraid, on the contrary, they were eager to try. Although they were not great knights, as armored knights, they were not afraid of the rangers at all.
The ranger does not have sufficient training resources, and his fighting spirit is like a trickle, which is a weak blessing to his own strength. With a sufficient supply of training resources, the knights continue to expand their meridians and refine their fighting spirit. It can be said that their fighting spirit is vigorous and has a huge bonus to their strength.
In a head-on battle, even the great ranger Lone Wolf Lisbon may not be able to defeat a fully armored knight.
But Charles was a little worried: "Um, Sir Eric, do you have full guarantee?"
Eric glanced at Charles and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, you don't need to take action, it's just in case."
"That's good, that's good." Charles breathed a sigh of relief.
Russell said funnyly: "Don't be afraid, Teacher Charles, I will accompany you to the ambush, and I will block the sword for you at the critical moment."
Charles' old face turned red: "Ah, how can I ask you to block the sword for me? I should have sworn to block the sword for you... When I strangled the snow ghost, you saved my life. Charles, Charles has no way of repaying me, so he will fight Die before the Lord!"
"Okay, okay, there's no need to set the flag, just follow Eric's command." Russell waved his hand.
Eric asked: "Sir, are you sure you want to go?"
"certainly."
"good."
Eric did not refuse Russell's joining. In his opinion, Russell would have to fight in the snowfield sooner or later. Tonight's ambush should be considered as practice in advance. A few weak cave rangers are much easier to deal with than the unkillable snow ghosts on the snowy field.
Now, eat and drink enough.
Under the leadership of Eric, Russell, Charles, and four knights' retinue were all covered in armor and quietly ambush in the depression at the foot of the Crooked Blade Mountain.
Kevin, the golden and silver wolfdog, was prostrate on a rock not far away, with two eyes, one golden and one silver, watching the road ahead closely.
Once something is discovered, Eric will be alerted through telepathy.
Russell looked at the stars in the sky and suddenly had an idea: "Charles, I'm going to take a nap for a while. If anything happens, wake me up immediately."
