The rain continues to fall in the Hallensburg area.

The populace was cheering, but their lords were not happy. Because their lords need dry weather to lobby the nobles to wage war against the Byan Lords.

The young lord of Hallensburg needs this war to avenge his father!

The conflict between the two families left over from last year's orc war has not dissipated with the passage of time, but has become more and more intense, and in order to be able to kill Jack Bog with his own hands, Geerbock Donner has been studying combat skills every day for the year, and he has even painted his whole body with magical war paints to enhance his combat power.

However, after this rainstorm, not only did the attitude of the Harlensburg nobility become erratic, but even his court chancellor, Putton-Witt, no longer supported him to continue preparing for war.

The argument between the three was interrupted by the arrival of Pedi's messenger.

Ten minutes later, Geerbwick Donner shed his rain-soaked practice clothes and changed into silk aristocratic formal clothes and appeared in the main hall of Harrlens Fort with his two court dignitaries.

...

The emissary of Kawalburg did not appear to be arrogant, he stood respectfully but respectfully in the center of the hall, and when Jebwick Donner sat down on the lord's chair, he offered his salute and said: "Baron Pedi has asked me to greet you, honorable lord of Harrensburg... Viscount Geebock-Donner. ”

Geerbeck Donner straightened up and showed a solemn expression, "Thank you Baron Pedi for your greetings, and please convey my respects, messenger." ”

"This is the letter that Baron Pedi asked me to hand over to you personally. The messenger took a letter from his bosom.

Sir Winley stepped forward at once, and Geerbock Donner narrowed his eyes and asked, "Does Lord Pedi have anything else to say?"

"Nope. The messenger shook his head as he handed the letter to Sir Winley, and as soon as he saw it fall into the hands of Geerbwick Donner, he said, "Then, dear Viscount Jebwick Donner, my mission is accomplished, and I may be allowed to leave here." ”

"Huh?" Gerbeck Donner, who had just held the letter in his hand, was stunned, and as he stared at the letter in his hand, countless thoughts flashed in his heart... Just a letter, the Blood Eagle Relay and the Magic Teleportation were obviously the best way, but Pedy Reagan had someone send it to him.

Obviously, it's important!

This is an idea born in the hearts of three people at the same time.

"The guards of Harrensburg will not stop you, messenger. Geerbak Donna said to the messenger, "Still, I hope you will rest in the castle for two more days." ”

The Courier smiled noncommittally and turned towards the main hall door.

"The Courier is from MI at Fort Kawar!" said Sir Winley in a very small voice in Geerbock Donner's ear, "the men of MIA are of this character. "During last year's war, he had a lot of dealings with people in the MIA.

"Go to my study!" Gerbeck Donner stood up and left through the right-hand side door at breakneck speed.

...

Five minutes later, the young lord and his two important ministers finished reading Fort Caval's letter from Pedy Reagan.

The content was surprising and shocking at the same time. In this letter, Pedi tells Geerbock Donner in the most confessional of words that Fort Caval supports his declaration of war on the Byan Territory.

"Here's my chance!" Gerbeck Donner trembled with emotion, "With Master Pedy's support, we will win this war." ”

Pupton-Witt frowned, "Master Pedy's decisions are always a surprise...", he looked at Sir Winley in deep thought, "As the ruler of Crewe, he has no reason to support our annexation of Byan. ”

"In the town of Balan, Colonel Fred has a garrison regiment in his hands. Sir Winley frowned, "Although this is only a garrison legion, this army has a very impressive record. He took a deep breath, "In the Orc War last year, it was the garrison corps in the hands of Colonel Fred who dragged the strength of a flag regiment of the orcs!"

"You mean Mistress Pedy is going to do something to Grace Lead?" Purton-Witt shuddered.

"Haha. Sir Winley smiled wryly, "Maybe the adult's goal at first was that we might be..."

"Well—" Gerbeck-Donner suddenly reacted from his joy, his expression of surprise had not disappeared, but the horror in his eyes was unmistakable.

"Baron Pedi... No, it's Duke Nick, who apparently made some kind of decision. "Twenty years ago, my father said that in another hundred years the whole empire would be transformed into merchant's goods!" he smiled wryly, "It's only been less than twenty years now, and our reign is about to be hollowed out by merchants..."

"Everybody loves gold, and the merchants have a lot of it. Sir Winley took a silver coin from his pocket and threw it into the air, and the dazzling silver light of the "bell" flashed and the silver coin rolled down to the desk next to the three of them, "My father taught me that honor is above all else, but when I grew up, I realized that no one valued honor anymore. ”

"Honor is still above all else," said Pupton-Witt in the tone of an elder, "and do not forget the teachings of your father, who was a true nobleman, and that Viscount Beept and all the nobles of Harrensburg bowed down at his funeral. ”

"I understand!"

"Let's talk about the letter. Viscount Geeberke-Donna knew that the two of them were saying these things to him, but he didn't want to listen to them now, as a lord he preferred a more realistic suggestion, "Baron Pedi, or Duke Nick, is obviously going to do something about the local territory, what should we do?"

Purton-Witt frowned, "Some people have gone too far in these decades..."

"My Prime Minister. "I don't want to hear from you, and I don't want to hear why Baron Pedy or Duke Nick did this." He looked at the two of them, "What I want to ask is how Hallensburg is going to make a decision." ”

"There's no way we can't say no. "Or if we refuse, Baron Pedy will most likely immediately switch to Borg in Birneberg." ”

"Perhaps the messengers of Kawalburg have not only visited us. Sir Winley shrugged his shoulders with a pretended lightheartedness, "A lose-lose situation is best for Caval Castle, isn't it?"

"No!" Purton-Witt shook his head, "these are special times, and Baron Pedy certainly doesn't want to drag the Garmici Meadows into the quagmire of war, as it would interfere with his decision-making on trade reform." The cold wind that followed the rainstorm made him tighten his thin clothes: "But it is not ruled out that Cawar Castle wants to deal with Byanburg and Harrensburg at the same time, but this probability is very small, because this will plunge the entire Kru Leader into turmoil, and the turmoil of the Kru Leader is not in the current interests of the Reagan family." ”

"So, what do you think?" said Geebeck-Donner, looking at his two ministers with some helplessness.

"Prepare for war, my lord, we cannot refuse Baron Pedy's offer. Purton-Witt straightened up and looked at his lord with a serious expression, "Besides, haven't you been waiting for a chance to defeat Pyneburg?"

Geerbock Donner raised an eyebrow, not answering immediately, he pondered for a few seconds before standing up and looking at the old map on the opposite wall, and after a moment of silence, he looked at Sir Winley and asked, "What is your opinion?"

"We can fight, but we have to find out what Kawalburg really is like. Sir Winley pondered and said, "Send our messenger to the garrison camp at Lake Garmic, and tell Sir Bowenright directly that we need to borrow his camp. ”

"I'll go. Purton-Witt's voice was firm.

"Fort Bienburg had a garrison of at least two thousand troops in the Jamich steppe. Sir Winley continued: "If there is a garrison camp at Lake Garmic as cover, it will only take half a day to sweep away the two thousand garrisons. He took a deep breath, "But the main part of this battle is at the Gula Mountain Pass, and last year the orcs lost the opportunity of the whole battle because they delayed the battle too much time at the pass. ”

"Three days!" Winley stretched out three fingers of his left hand and shook it, "If we don't fully capture the Gula Pass within three days, when Jackev Borg's reinforcements arrive, this war will be as long as ever, and finally it will be over." ”

"It is not impossible to capture the Gula mountain pass in three days. Purton-Witt did not disagree with Sir Winley, and reminded softly, "But there are 3,000 defenders of Byanburg there, and if we attack it, we will need to pay five times the casualties to take it in three days." ”

"Casualties of the nearest legion?" Gerbeck-Donner was startled, "this generation is too big, isn't it?"

"Baron Purton is talking about conventional means," Winley grinned, "and now we have Baron Pedy's support... Sir Bowenwright on Lake Garmic, we can look for his help. ”

Gerbeck Donner was a little unsure, "There's no way Cawalburg could just come out and help us... Right?"

Purton-Witt immediately thought of Sir Winley's plan, and he frowned and said, "Nothing is absolute, but it is a bit costly to let Kawalburg make a move." ”

"Can it be greater than the loss of a legion?"

"Maybe," Purton-Witt whispered, "Baron Pedi doesn't want anyone to know that he's meddling in this war, so..."

"Silence?" Gerbeck-Donner made it to his senses.

Extinguish!

In layman's terms, in order to ensure the honor of the Reagan family, if the people of Fort Caval were involved, then there could be no life in this battle... Whether it's soldiers, civilians along the way, or even nobles, they all need to be eliminated!

"I'll do it. Sir Winley whispered.

Geerbock Donner's gaze immediately fell on his guard captain, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, and at the same time, he subconsciously nodded and wanted to open his mouth to answer, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back.

"Boom!" a miserable white lightning bolt streaked across the gloomy sky outside the window, and the young lord shuddered.

Gerbeck Donner was not startled by the roaring thunder, he was spitting on his own weakness and incompetence just now. "Crackle," he clenched his fists and turned around with the loud sound of lightning to hide his embarrassment.

"I said I would end Earl's life with my own hands, and I would dismantle him with my father's sword!" Gerberk Donner's voice slowly became firm, and when he turned to look at his two important ministers again, there was no longer confusion on his face, "I will personally command this war, and no one can replace me." ”

Winley and Purton-Witt immediately bowed and saluted, while Geerbock Donner said in a commanding tone, "Let the territory be mobilized, first of all, the disbanded Ninth Legion needs to be regrouped. ”

"In half a month, you will have a strong army!" said Sir Winley, holding his back.

"No, you only have ten days. "The newly formed regiment needs to be stationed in the garrison barracks at Lake Jamici in batches, and it needs to be kept secret. ”

"Your will, my lord. "Sir Winley didn't bargain.

"And supplies!" Gerbeck looked at his prime minister, "I have only one request, using all the means at my disposal to raise enough supplies for two legions to fight for a month... Confidentiality!"

Puton-Witt smiled and said, "Actually, we don't have to be too secretive, the military intelligence department and the police department in Kawalburg will help us wipe our butts." He spread his hands, "Besides, the warehouses on the official road north of Harrence Heights are full of supplies. ”
