Black Moon Kingdom (2)

　　Black Moon Kingdom Ravensburger, a huge military fortress, usually sparsely populated, but for some time now, Ravensburger has been bustling with people coming and going.

　　These people had all fled from the Kingdom of Light, some were refugees, some were merchants, some were minor nobles, a rowdy mass, all trying to get into Ravensburg.

　　Because, in order to enter the Black Moon Kingdom, this Ravensburg is the only entrance, otherwise, you have to go over the barren mountain range that stretches for thousands of miles.

　　In the barren mountain range, there are many dangers, almost no one chooses to go over the barren mountain range to enter the Black Moon Kingdom, and this barren mountain range, has become a natural barrier between the Black Moon Kingdom and the Light Kingdom.

　　However, it was not easy to enter the Black Moon Kingdom through Ravensburg, everyone had to pay enough gold coins to be allowed to pass through Ravensburg, while those refugees dressed in rags, because they did not have enough gold coins, were all blocked outside and not allowed to enter.

　　Waiting for the end of these refugees, either to return to the Kingdom of Light, or always wait here, perhaps one day Ravensburger can allow people to enter for free, or only to die in front of Ravensburger.

　　"Hey, look, there is a caravan with knight escort, and there are many carriages, tsk, there are actually heavily armored knights ... seems to be a wealthy nobleman ah, later to be slaughtered hard!"

　　Some of the guards at Fort Ravens had noticed a huge caravan in the distance, with distinctive armor and many vehicles, and based on their experience over time, this caravan was definitely another "fat sheep" that could be slaughtered when passing through Fort Ravens.

　　The convoy slowly approached Ravensburger, led by a stout, middle-aged man who frowned at Ravensburger before waving the convoy to a halt.

　　"Father, why did it stop?"

　　Merlin jumped down from the wagon and walked over to old Wilson's side and asked.

　　This caravan is none other than old Wilson's team, a group of nearly two thousand people, after a long journey of three or four days, finally arrived at the border of the Black Moon Kingdom.

　　Those thieves who escorted Merlin had already left, and according to the information they provided, in order to enter the Black Moon Kingdom, one had to pass through Ravensburg.

　　Merlin saw a fortress not far away and thought that it must be the Ravensburger that those thieves had mentioned. Once they passed through Ravensburger, they would be truly safe and would not have to worry about the Church of Light pursuing them.

　　Old Wilson pointed to Fort Ravens and said in a low voice, "Merlin, to get into Fort Ravens, you have to remove your armor and weapons, there are so many of us, without weapons and armor, our fighting ability is sharply reduced, in case something happens, it will be a problem."

　　Merlin followed the direction of old Wilson's finger, and indeed saw that in front of Ravensburg, some scattered knights who wanted to enter Ravensburg had to remove their armor and weapons first.

　　It is not difficult to understand that the Black Moon Kingdom could not have let a large number of armed men pass through Ravensburg, if these people were sent out by the Church, then would the Black Moon Kingdom not be asking for trouble?

　　"Father, with so many of us, we certainly can't bring in all our armor and weapons, we'll just have to unload them and figure out what to do when we get through Ravensburg."

　　Merlin pondered for a moment, and there was nothing he could do but to hold back for the time being, and think about it after passing through Ravensburger and actually entering the Black Moon Kingdom.

　　"Well, Merlin, Baron Barman, the three of us will go ahead and check it out."

　　So the old Wilson explained well the Praetorian commander to control the caravan, and then with Baron Barman, Merlin, a group of three people went towards Ravensburg, first to understand the situation.

　　The fortress guards who had noticed Merlin and the others long ago directly stopped Merlin and the others and said coldly, "Leave your horses, remove your armor and weapons, and then pay ten gold coins each before you can pass!"

　　The old Wilson and Baron Barman's face changed in unison, armor and weapons, which is nothing, even if it is ten gold coins per person, the whole caravan has nearly two thousand people, a total of 20,000 gold coins need to be paid. Although this is a large sum of money, but for the Wilson family as well as the Barman family, it is not considered to hurt the bones.

　　But to leave the horses behind was unacceptable to old Wilson and the others. If there were no more horses, how would their wagons make the journey? Should they let the women walk?

　　Furthermore, without the horses, the speed of this huge procession of two thousand people will be very slow, and it is also easy to have some problems and troubles.

　　So the guard's words made even Merlin frown.

　　"Even the horse is left behind? Why didn't that knight just now leave his horse behind?"

　　Baron Barman barely suppressed the anger in his heart and asked in a deep voice.

　　These guards swept a faint glance at Baron Barman, and then sneered, "That knight just now was only a man, and besides, he was an elemental swordsman, so he could keep his horse."

　　"You say elemental swordsmen can keep their horses?"

　　Merlin suddenly spoke up and asked.

　　The guard gave Merlin a look and nodded, "Good, elemental swordsmen can keep not only their horses, but even their armor and weapons, and pass directly through Ravensburg."

　　Merlin and old Wilson looked at each other, both nodded slightly, it seems that the Black Moon Kingdom is doing this to attract the Light Kingdom elemental swordsmen to go, after all, the Black Moon Kingdom and the Light Kingdom are still in hostility, elemental swordsmen are more powerful force, can attract more, is a blow to the Light Kingdom.

　　Only, even if old Wilson and others could enter, the entire caravan was close to two thousand people, and not everyone was an elemental swordsman.

　　"Armor and weapons, we can unload them all, and we can get the gold coins together, but can we keep this horse, after all, we have a very large group, if we don't have the horse, we can't move an inch even through Ravensburg."

　　Merlin said calmly to the Ravensburger guards, these guards looked at the huge caravan stopped in the distance, the corners of the mouth also showed a smile, the voice also lowered: "In fact, let you keep the horses is not a difficult task, a horse is only fifty gold coins, you each give sixty gold coins, the horses can be kept! "

　　"What? Sixty gold coins?"

　　Old Wilson's face changed fiercely, his aura was immediately released, even as his body also flickered with the slightest flame.

　　Sixty gold coins per person, the team of nearly two thousand people will need a full 120,000 gold coins, even the wealth of the Barman family and the Wilson family, but only a hundred thousand gold coins, a full 12 million gold coins, is simply an astronomical figure.

　　"What are you doing? Trying to storm the fortress?"

　　Old Wilson was already very stout, full of oppression, and then released his aura out, immediately made the guards of Ravensburger nervous.

　　So, from above Ravensburger, immediately drilled a team of guards, densely packed the entire fort, the hands are heavy crossbows aimed at the old Wilson and Merlin and others, a time, the atmosphere was tense.

　　Merlin looked up at the guards above the fortress, his face also showed a helpless look, like this military fortress, is simply a terrifying war machine, although old Wilson once said that a powerful caster can individually destroy a military fortress, but now Merlin can not have such ability, so many crossbows shot, Merlin can not resist.
