By the second day, Li You Ran was ready to head to the other realm. The time they had agreed on for the transaction in the other realm was almost upon them, and by now, the other party was probably already on their way to the designated location.

  Li You Ran let He Mei Li leave by herself after she sent him to the warehouse.

  After arriving at the warehouse, I saw that the grain was covered with oilcloth. All of it was coarse grain prepared in advance, mainly corn flour. This was what Li You Ran had instructed. There were so many flour for them, these would be enough.

  Everything has been stored in the temple, and today I'm going to the other world. It's just right to bring things for them, let Elington take it and send it to Viscount, so as to complete the transaction. After all, he wants to be a trustworthy person, isn't he? And now there's not enough money, need to find something special to buy and sell. Only haven't thought of what to sell yet, after all, gold is too eye-catching, and gemstones are simply a disaster. When one doesn't have enough power, they will never be taken out.

  Just as Li You Ran was about to transmit, he suddenly had a very uncomfortable feeling in his heart, as if something very important to him was being harmed, and he didn't understand why. He was flustered and confused, but when he transmitted into the temple, he finally understood what it was - his faith line had been severed.

  "What's going on?! Why did it suddenly break off!" Li You Ran was very puzzled, walked into the first room to check her mini map, and saw such a scene.

  In the territory of another world, John and his group finally finished their work for the day. The castle would be completed soon, and they could settle down here. Many of the vassals showed joyful smiles as the magician had promised to let them stay and even gave them land to cultivate. Of course, they didn't expect to become free citizens, which might be better in a big city, but this was on the lord's territory. In fact, free citizens were not treated well, whereas serfs had more security. At least during poor harvests, they wouldn't starve to death.

  Perhaps free men can do more things, but they only want to survive, who is the master makes no difference to them, the difference is just a little worse and even worse.

  Just as night was falling, a group of people appeared in the forest. Field led his 200 elite soldiers and finally arrived at Li You Ran's territory after circling around. Seeing that there were refugees cooking near the castle, Field signaled for his men to hide. It wasn't time to attack yet; they needed to wait until these people rested before taking the greatest gains with the least cost. He didn't want to charge in now, but he only had 300 elite soldiers. After a rough count of the refugees here, there were at least over 500. Although they were just refugees, if they forced their way in, his losses would also be great.

  He didn't dare guarantee that if there were heavy casualties, there would be no punishment. He made all the soldiers rest in place and sent out a few crack troops to observe the movements around them. Then he had his subordinates eat on the spot, actually gnawing on dry rations, a food as famous as black bread.

  The soldiers were indeed elite, gnawing on biscuits as hard as stones, their teeth grinding like millstones, biting down fiercely, and then chewing slowly, savoring the aroma of food wafting from afar, although they drooled with hunger. Yet they ate without a word.

  At this time, Morton's half-elf tribe was also approaching Li You Ran's territory. However, as it was already nearing nightfall, they eventually stopped and set up camp. Approaching someone else's residence at night would absolutely make them be mistaken for bandits coming to attack, and they didn't want to go fight a battle for no reason.

  After dispatching two druids to keep watch, the whole tribe began to set up their tents. They also needed rest. If what the tribal chief said was true, then tomorrow they would have a brand new home, one that wouldn't be invaded by wild beasts and where they would never go hungry again - an ideal place.

  Morton looked at the location of the castle, perhaps after nightfall he should go take a look. At least he could freely switch between his human form and half-elf form. It was just that before the city was destroyed, his father had given him a fixed transformation technique, allowing him to survive more easily. He had also used this skill to save the entire tribe from extinction, although they were living very frugally.

  The residents near the castle were unaware that a great battle would take place at night, they still happily dined and loudly praised their lord, who had let people live on.

  As the sky grew darker and the cold wind blew through the bonfire, the banquet finally came to an end. People returned to their own tents, and it was time for a good rest. Tomorrow would be a sunny day. Although life was tough, they could survive and had such food, so there was hope in life. Touching the quilt on his body, this was given by Lord Li, who said that it was worth a lot of money outside, even some small nobles didn't have such things. This made them more determined to follow Li You Ran.

  The flickering flames in the slow territory grew fewer and fewer, until they were completely engulfed in darkness. Phil also waited for this opportunity, but it was not yet time. People are most sleepy at midnight, so he still had to wait. Moreover, tonight's moonlight did not allow him to rush out now.

  The cold wind kept blowing, and Field and the soldiers huddled together. Finally, Field saw that the moon was high in the sky, and it was the best time to move. At this hour, everyone was asleep, and the moonlight was at its brightest, just enough to see the state of the territory.

  "Get up, get up! Everyone stretch their bodies! We're about to launch an attack soon. Once we take down this castle, there will be wealth, food, and women inside - everything you could want! You can all enjoy yourselves freely. Now, let's raise our spirits!"

  Field's encouragement was effective, for the past two days they had been eating cold dry rations, and for fear of attracting the attention of the Maple Leaf people, they didn't even dare to light a fire. The cold food, as well as their own cold body temperature, had subjected them to all sorts of hardships, but now all this would be compensated.

  The well-warmed elite troops had formed their ranks and were quietly waiting for Field's command. Field couldn't help but nod, indeed the most elite soldiers in the lord's hands, it was not easy to gather so quickly either.

  "Alright! Let's go, wrap your feet in cloth so you don't make too much noise." Field warned finally.

  Three hundred people quietly approached the territory, and the outer periphery was just an ordinary fence. How could this possibly stop them? With ease, they pulled out a section and a team of horses quickly entered.

  As it was only for defense against beasts, no one thought that someone would come to attack, the outer voice did not have any soldiers guarding, in fact, there were no soldiers in the territory at all, and some had only refugees.

  But sometimes there's a weirdo among the refugees, like that blacksmith Karl, who had some valuable stuff with him and was particularly sensitive about it, so he set up all sorts of interesting little traps around his tent.

  Of course, this small mechanism also helped him drive away many people who had ideas about him, and today his small mechanism has made another contribution.

  Three hundred elite soldiers quietly passed through the refugee zone, they came to attack the castle. These refugees were not in their plan, in fact many refugees during the siege would not only not help defend the city but even assist the attackers, attacking the castle because they knew that after the city was breached, they could get some leftover food, which was a small fortune.

  This is also why the lords do not like refugees, because everyone does not know when the refugees will become violent mobs. However, this is clearly not the case in Li You Ran's territory. Li You Ran's order to Zigge is that if he wants food, it can be given, but it cannot be given for free and must be exchanged for work. He does not want useless people who eat and drink for free.

  The benefit of this is that the refugees do not have a habit of being idle and think it's what they should be doing, he works for the lord and the lord gives him wages, making him feel like he belongs to this land rather than being a refugee who has been given charity. Li You Ran still knows about the gratitude for favors received and the resentment for favors not returned.

  Just as the soldiers were passing by Karl's tent, they didn't notice a thin iron wire under their feet, which was made by Karl himself. It's hard to believe that a medieval blacksmith could make such a thin iron wire that is almost invisible to the naked eye at night.

  Two branches stuck into the ground with iron wire tripped up the soldier's feet, triggering a chain reaction. The bell in Karl's tent was pulled and rang out, causing cautious Karl to quickly climb up, take out his oversized iron hammer from the corner box, and furiously rush out of the tent to get rid of the thief who dared to steal things.

  The soldier who had been tripped got up, and a large crowd was staring at him like that. Field covered his eyes and said, "What did I say? Be careful, these idiots."

  "Get ready for battle! You bunch of idiots." Since we've already been exposed, let's just go all out.

  Karl rushed out and shouted loudly: "Who dares to come... who dares to come~~ enemy attack!!!"

  Karl, who thought it was a thief, shouted as soon as he came out, but the scene in front of him stunned him. They were all people, and they were all well-equipped long gun soldiers. The leader was obviously a knight!

  What such a combination is going to do is obvious, and Karl immediately turns around and runs. He has some fighting power, but what about those hundreds of people? Even if he was made of iron, he couldn't win, so he turned around and ran, not forgetting to shout loudly that the refugees on his land had all been baptized by fire and were always in danger, so vigilance is a compulsory course. Karl's loud cry woke everyone up.

  They could have avoided fighting in the first place, but now Field had no choice but to wipe them all out.

  "Damn it! Fine then! Let's take them all down! Then attack the castle!! Hurry up!!" Field drew out his knight sword, chasing after Karl in the direction of the castle under the moonlight. The direction Karl was running towards was clearly the castle, he wanted to report back.
