Chapter 225 The Knights set out
The celebration of the Dragon's Birthday was still going on, but the knights' training was temporarily suspended for three days, so Russell took the time to return to his territory the next day.
A heavy snowfall turned the Black-rumped Snake Manor into a muddy land, with only Cinder Avenue still clean.
Hum.
The unicorn Baoli stopped, her four hooves suspended at a height of ten centimeters from the charcoal avenue. No matter how muddy the road was, it could not pollute it in the slightest.
Russell on his back, quietly admiring the brand new cigar compound.
At this moment, the exterior of the Cigar Courtyard has been built, leaving only the interior rooms that have not yet been decorated. In addition, a layer of waterproofing has just been reinforced on the front roof. Russell will later build a pavilion on it to raise flowers and plants.
"It's not much different than before... right, Paulie." Russell sighed softly.
Paulie snorted slightly in response to Russell.
The main body of the house is still the same as before, except that a floor was added to the back, so there really isn't much change. However, Russell has already planned to move the master bedroom to the third floor. The view in the future will definitely be better than that on the second floor.
In addition, there is such a large rooftop garden, life will definitely be better.
"Well, the bamboo forest has grown bigger again. It seems that I can cut off a batch of bamboo whips and continue to transplant new bamboos... Forget it, the ice age has arrived, and it will probably freeze in more than half a month. Let's not worry about it yet. Plant bamboo urgently.”
Russell saw the expanding bamboo forest. The bamboo cordyceps that appeared unexpectedly sprouted new bamboo shoots almost every day, and then grew into a new bamboo in three or two days.
The area expanded again and again.
Russell cut off the bamboo whip before, and the few bamboo trees left behind had already survived independently, but he transplanted them to the other side.
The bamboo cordyceps that prevent further expansion squeeze the growth space of these new bamboo trees.
"I don't know how far the Bamboo Cordyceps will expand. It will soon cover an acre of land." Russell shook his head in amusement, and rode the unicorn Baoli back to the cigar compound.
"Sir." Butler Morris greeted him at the gate with his servants.
The unicorn Baoli went directly to the bamboo forest. It liked this bamboo forest and ate, drank and had sex in this bamboo forest.
Russell was greeted by servants and walked into the Cigar Courtyard.
The construction team has gone back for the holidays to celebrate the Dragon's Birthday, so the Cigar Compound is very quiet at this time.
"Master, this is my newly recruited manservant Downey. He was the serf you purchased last time. He accidentally broke a gemstone lamp and was sold to a serf trader by his previous master." Morris led The new manservant comes to see Russell.
The valet Donnie quickly knelt down on his knees and kowtowed to Russell: "Donnie pays homage to the master."
"Get up." Russell waited for Downey to finish kowtowing and then motioned for him to stand up. "From now on, I will listen to Butler Morris's arrangements."
"Yes, sir."
After sending away the new valet Donnie, Russell went up to the second floor with Butler Morris and chatted for a while about the trivial matters of the Cigar Court.
Then we had lunch and rushed back to the Fluorescent Fort in the afternoon.
The knights of the Knights who were on vacation also returned one after another and started a new round of drills, practicing legion resonance and team formation.
at the same time.
Baron Roman's letter was also delivered to Fluorescent Castle via message.
"Snow Giant Da is gathering the Snow Demon and Snow Ghost legions and may invade the Fire Ant Swamp at any time." Uncle Rosen's expression became serious after reading the letter. "The legion assembly order has been passed at the Red Fort military meeting."
He passed the letter on and said solemnly: "The Baron requires us to immediately set off for the Gloomy Light Collection in the Torrent Province, meet up with the Baron, and then set off to the Fire Ant Swamp to face the Snow Demon Army!"
The letter was passed around and Russell read it again.
Finally, Rosen announced: "Today everyone can go home and hug their loved ones. Tomorrow morning, everyone must rush back to the Fluorescent Castle before eight o'clock... Prepare a week's worth of dry food and head to the Gloomy Light Collection! "
"Yes!" several lords responded one after another.
Russell took Eric and others and quickly returned to the Black-waisted Snake Manor.
Instructing Morris to prepare dry food for a week, Russell then called Katie: "Tomorrow I will follow the knights and set off to the Ghost Light Collection. I will keep Jerry, the red-eyed rat king, and let him listen to you. command."
"Sir, I want to go too!" Katie said immediately, "I have penetrated the third set of main meridians!"
"It's not enough, far from enough." Russell shook his head, "And the territory also needs a knight to stay. Don't let me down, Katie."
Katie could only nod in agreement.
Then Russell called Jerry, the red-eyed rat king, and repeatedly warned him to obey Katie's orders for a period of time.
No one is taking care of it, and Russell is afraid that it will not know how to restrain the treasure hunting rat team and the sentinel rat team, causing another rat infestation in the territory. And with Jerry staying behind, the territory will not be in chaos, and even if the snow ghost invades, it can be blocked.
"The most important thing is, if you encounter an accident, you must protect the elves." Russell finally warned.
Katie nodded repeatedly, and Butler Morris also nodded: "I will cooperate with Ms. Katie and protect the master's elf to the death."
"It won't lead to death, Maurice." Russell smiled, "I just want you to be vigilant and don't relax."
That night, Russell held a banquet in the Cigar Courtyard and invited all the officials in the territory to have a hearty meal.
Before dawn the next day, he took Eric and others and left the Black-rumped Snake Manor under the stars.
Successfully arrived at the Fluorescent Castle before eight o'clock and joined the Knights. The Knights were still organized into five teams according to the previous formation, the front team, the rear team, the left wing, the right wing and the support formation. Russell was no exception and joined the support formation.
He served as the captain of the support formation, commanding about thirty knights, and the strongest combat power was the Fantasy Knight Eric.
However, Russell, who was self-aware, soon announced to the knights of the support formation: "Everyone remember, Eric will command the support formation on my behalf. Eric's orders are my orders and must not be disobeyed!"
In fact, if he didn't remind them, the knights would not disobey.
After all, Eric is already a Fantasy Knight and is worthy of the knights' trust. On the contrary, if Russell personally commands, the knights will be nervous.
"Russell!" Mrs. Meryl came to see him off.
"Mother."
"Be careful on the road."
"I know."
"You are sent to the battlefield so soon to face the danger of the Snow Demon Legion..." Mrs. Meryl's eyes were almost filled with worry, but she swallowed her concerned words back and encouraged, "But I believe in my son, and believe in the blood of the fluorescent mushroom family, and will support you to fight bravely until you return victorious."
Bang!
Russell beat his chest with his right hand and responded to his mother's words with a knight's salute: "Knights have an obligation to defend the land!"
Looking at Mrs. Meryl's sister Lola, Russell didn't say much, just smiled slightly.
Then he turned back to the support formation.
Seeing that the four teams in front, behind, left and right had already set off, he didn't delay any more, nodded to Eric, and followed the support formation to leave.
The Knights' Group, composed of more than 300 knights, seemed to have a small number of people, but they were still like a long dragon when lined up. The front team had arrived at the Town of Ghost Light, and the support formation had not left the archway of the castle, and it was mighty and endless.
"Huh!"
Russell rode on the unicorn Polly, following Eric closely. He looked back at the tall and magnificent fluorescent castle.
He was overwhelmed with emotions.
