During Heidi's resting days, Renard took over almost all the military and political affairs of the territory, and he had to work late every day to rest, and he had no time to hang out.

Fortunately, after several reforms, there is a lot less waste to eat dry rice in the army and the city hall, and there are many more capable people who can do it, otherwise the workload will probably be several times heavier.

Just after lunch, Renard got to work checking on this year's taxes.

At this moment, Robertson suddenly broke in and said in a hurried tone: "Your Excellency, Viscount Colin's domain has fallen. ”

When Reynard heard this, he immediately snapped up: "When did it happen?

Viscount Colin's territory is in the eastern part of the county of Meredith, which belongs to the hinterland of Southern Wilderness County, and he is a member of the anti-demon alliance formed by Earl Shelley, and the territory is very strong, how can it be said that the fall is the fall?

Even if you encounter a powerful demon army, won't you still ask for help?

In order to unite the major forces in the Southern Wilderness County, Renard sent magic messengers to every nobleman who participated in the harvest festival, and people couldn't rush out, so the magic messenger would never be intercepted, right?

At the speed of a magic messenger, it only takes three to five hours to receive the news on its own, and the cavalry of Meredith City can arrive at the rescue in half a day.

Robertson's face was a little ugly, and he said with an indignant expression: "Viscount Colin didn't organize resistance at all when the demon attacked. ”

Renard's gaze suddenly became fierce, and his tone revealed murderous intent: "Why didn't he organize resistance?"

Robertson had to tell a sad truth: "That damn and greedy fellow, in the name of resisting the demonic disaster, wantonly looted the people's wealth, in fact, he was ready to run away." ”

Renard lit a cigarette: "Talk about the point." ”

Robertson took a deep breath: "This guy is actually acting, he keeps borrowing money from the surrounding nobles, saying that it is to raise military expenses, but according to reliable intelligence, the other party has been reducing troops since the beginning of the year, and there is not much military expenditure at all." ”

"His purpose is very simple, knowing that this demon disaster will be very serious, and he can't keep the territory, so he will make a fortune and run away, if nothing else, he may be on his way to the endless port now. ”

Reynard's eyes were a little bloodshot, and he asked in a deep voice, "He ran away, what about his people." ”

Robertson said regretfully: "We only got the news yesterday, when the demons had already conquered the city, and Baron Hammiton sent cavalry to reinforce it, and when we got there, we found that the city had long been in ruins. ”

"Of the more than 23,000 people of Viscount Colin's ranks, less than two-thirds escaped, and only more than 7,000 made it to Meredith alive. ”

Renard trembled with anger, he never thought that human nature would be so despicable, Viscount Sinclair still knew how to resist for a moment, and this despicable Viscount Colin actually made him think of escaping from the beginning, and caused tens of thousands of lives and deaths. ”

Lei Ye took the case: "Shameless, he must die, this hateful and despicable person is not worthy of living in the world at all." ”

In fact, Lei Ye still has something to say in his heart, that is, everyone is a Viscount of Lin, what is the point of desperately resisting here, he instructed Robertson: "Send someone to arrest him back." ”

Robertson was embarrassed and said: "Viscount Colin has been on the run for four days, and if it weren't for the refugees who have worked so hard to bring this news, I'm afraid we would still be kept in the dark, and it will be difficult to catch up even if we send cavalry now." ”

Then he added: "And we don't know which way he's going." ”

Renard took a deep breath and realized that he was really confused, but he wouldn't let the other party go: "Call Captain Larry in." ”

Robertson was ordered to leave, and half an hour later, Larry walked into the office: "Young master, are you looking for me?"

Renard nodded, and briefly explained the matter of Baron Colin.

Larry was immediately angry: "In vain, I believed him so much, and lent him ten gold coins as military expenses."

Lei Ye didn't bother to pay attention to these twists and turns, and directly ordered: "You lead your team to arrest him back for me, I will publicly judge him, and I will kill him alive." ”

Larry opened his mouth and said helplessly, "It's too hard." ”

Renard waved his hand: "Use the griffin." ”

Hearing this, Larry suddenly cheered up: "Aren't we hiding our strength anymore?"

Lei Ye nodded, and said with a solemn face: "There's no need." ”

There really is no need, because now the Earldom of Meredith is full-fledged and not afraid of any challenge, and besides, the major forces are too busy to take care of him.

Not long after, dozens of griffons rose from the barracks, and the scene immediately shocked everyone.

Everyone couldn't believe their eyes, there were griffons in the county of Meredith?

Griffins are monsters that can fight with flying dragons, and there are only more than 3,000 of them in the entire Arthurian Kingdom, all of which serve in the Sky Knights, His Majesty the King is very precious, and it is impossible to give them away, so where did these griffons come from?

Where did it come from? Naturally, Lei Ye sold it from the system mall!

Each griffon is worth 100,000 dinars, which is the same price as the Fighting Warrior, and all the money he has saved for three years has been emptied, and he only bought two hundred heads, all of which are assembled for the special service team, which is not enough.

After the griffon appeared, the originally harmonious Arka and the others turned their faces for the first time, and they still don't like each other.

Otherwise, there are no permanent friends, only eternal interests.

Watching the large flock of griffons disappear into the eastern sky, Renard sighed tiredly, he never thought that the Viscount Colin, who seemed to have a sense of justice and courage, turned out to be a disgusting hypocrite.

Of course, it is a human instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm, and even an animal instinct, he can understand it, but he can never forgive such a thing as throwing the people to the demon slaughter.

Renard slumped in his chair and looked at the mobilization order on the wall, feeling extremely glaring.

Although the king issued the most severe state of war proclamation, only a few nobles had the courage and confidence to defend their domains and their people, and the vast majority of nobles who considered themselves shrewd had long since fled.

Renard felt that he had done something wrong, that he should not hide his strength, and that he should not be strong, which would bring psychological pressure to other nobles.

If even a big lord like him clamps his tail and behaves as a man, what will the other small lords be afraid of?

I was really wrong, this is a war, a race war, a battle for survival, I cherish my feathers too much, and doing so will only make myself look cowardly and incompetent, and make the people and soldiers of the territory lose the confidence to defeat the demons.

Thinking of this, Renard summoned Robertson and said, "Pass my order, starting tomorrow, except for the firearms army, all infantry and cavalry will go out of the city to fight, and within three months, I will eliminate all demons in my territory." ”

Robertson was stunned when he heard this.
