Even though the swamp realm has all kinds of restrictions on its use, if it is used well, it is still a powerful and perverted ability! If it is used well, Zuo Zhe alone can even compete with an army! Of course, the premise is that Zuo Zhe has enough physical strength, or a fast enough physical recovery speed.

Marquis of Red Fox's territory borders on the territory of the Grand Duke, which is a headache for Marquis Red Fox. In his past contacts with the Grand Duke, the Marquis of Red Fox has never bargained. If it weren't for the support of the Marquis of the Red Fox Empire and the support of other nobles, the territory of the Marquis of Red Fox would have been encroached upon by the aggressive Grand Duke. In today's hegemonic empire, although the power of the royal family is still the strongest, all signs indicate that the grand duke already has the power to threaten the royal family. Although the royal family had already thought about eradicating this threat, they did not dare to do so. The reason is very simple, the Grand Duke himself is a fourth-order magician! Although the Grand Duke stays in the royal capital like a hostage, if the Grand Duke is forced to be in a hurry, the Grand Duke alone can burst out with a strength comparable to an elite army!

As the Grand Duke's neighbor, the Marquis of Red Fox does not need to do anything extra, and the other nobles behind him will provide a steady stream of military expenses to the Marquis of Red Fox. Specifically, once the Grand Duke, located in the north of the kingdom, rebelled, then the territory of the Marquis of Red Fox would immediately become the northern border of the Hegemonic Empire. In fact, before the Grand Duke rose step by step and eventually became the Grand Duke, the northern border of the Hegemony Kingdom was on the edge of the territory of the Marquis of Red Fox. Therefore, the fortifications on the edge of the Marquis of Red Fox's territory are very complete. It's just that in recent years, with the sudden rise of the Grand Duke, the northern border line of the Hegemony Kingdom has rapidly expanded to the north, making the kingdom's former border line a hinterland.

In the past two days, according to the report of the spies placed by the Marquis of Red Fox in the Grand Duke's territory, the Marquis of Red Fox has discovered abnormal changes in the Grand Duke's territory. There is gossip that the Grand Duke's two sons, who were raised as pigs, died mysteriously, and a rebellion broke out in the Grand Duke's territory!

However, the Marquis of Red Fox did not have the slightest joy after receiving this news, but immediately strengthened the defense on the border of the territory.

As it turned out, Marquis Red Fox's pre-arrangement was justified. No, the eldest son of the Grand Duke is dragging slave soldiers to attack the border city of the Marquis of Red Fox.

In the middle of the East-West Blood Leaf Mountain Range, Hongye City is held in the canyon of the middle of the Blood Leaf Mountain Range. If you want to break through the hinterland of the Red Fox Marquis's territory, Hongye City is the first city to conquer! Otherwise, you can only bypass the Blood Leaf Mountain Range, which is like a natural city wall to block the northern enemy, and attack the Red Fox Marquis's territory from the side. Not to mention that the transportation of logistical materials is easy to be cut off, the Blood Leaf Mountains are still shrouded in fog all year round, and even if local hunters lead the way, it is easy to die in the belly of the endless blood snakes. Although the color of the Blood Serpent is as bright as blood, the mountains of Blood Leaf Mountain are full of red leaves. Walking among the autumn leaves, the red color of the blood snake turned into a protective color.

However, the Count of Bacon had the audacity to drive the slave miners to attack. For outsiders, the defenses of the Blood Leaf Mountain Range and Hongye City were indeed difficult to penetrate. However, in the eyes of Count Bacon, the defense of the Blood Leaf Mountains is useless!

The reason is very simple, because in recent years, the Grand Duke's men have successfully dug a secret tunnel on the north and south sides of the Blood Leaf Mountains! A tunnel leads to the north and south, and since then the trench has become a thoroughfare! And now, after the accidental death of his two younger brothers and the huge losses suffered in the gold mines, it is time to make up for the previous losses from the enemy. As for Hongye City, which is guarding the Blood Leaf Mountain Range, it's time to change its owner!

At the southern end of the Bloodleaf Mountains, Zuo Zhe waited for the arrival of the miners and slave hunters under Count Bacon. For a watcher with a continuous glowing teleportation, the Bloodleaf Mountains were not a barrier at all, and it was as easy as crossing a threshold to go back and forth. Because of the Beast Prophet's perspective skills, after comparing the combat power of the two warring parties, the archmage believed that this Blood Leaf Mountain Range was completely unable to stop Count Bacon, who launched a surprise attack. The most important thing is that Count Bacon did not have any heavy equipment to prepare for the siege of the city, and used the field force of light cavalry! That is to say, unless Count Bacon did not understand the common sense that light cavalry was difficult to attack the city, Count Bacon must have some unknown method, either to attack the city or to make a detour.

In this case, if you want to keep those captured miners, you have to choose a good position. Well, actually, Zuo Zhe didn't necessarily have to select his men from among the enslaved miners. Although slave miners were inherently hostile to their owners, not all of them had an indomitable will to resist. In fact, on the contrary, most of the miners who are alive and enslaved have actually been deeply poisoned. And those who really had a strong spirit of resistance were killed in the battle against the slave catchers.

With the passage of time, Zuo Zhe's understanding of this world has also increased. The more he learned about the world, the more Zuo Zhe felt that those slave miners were not good men. The level of education is low, there is no vindictiveness and magic, not to mention, these slave miners are also poisoned by conservative feudal ideas. In comparison, the nobles of this world are undoubtedly more high-quality subordinates. They have a good level of education, and even if they don't have magical talents, they will cultivate their fighting spirit from an early age. Crucially, these nobles were very rebellious and would start a small local war against their neighbors every once in a while.

It's a pity that such high-quality subordinates are slave owners and stand on the opposite side of Zuo Zhe. Even now, Zuo Zhe did not think of the idea of accepting nobles as his subordinates. If you really don't have the right subordinates, start from a young age. Zuo Zhe would rather be slower than accept those subordinates with bad deeds. Of course, this is only a choice that will be made when there is really no choice. So far, the commoner class, between the aristocracy and the slaves, still has good potential. Therefore, the next thing to do is to let those civilians who remain neutral fall into dire straits step by step, and be forced to resist tyranny. Then, Zuo Zhe will intervene and take the opportunity to recruit the most ideological and conscious of these people as subordinates, and establish the first batch of indigenous subordinates in this world. For Zuo Zhe, there is a couplet that is very appropriate to the situation, "If you say you can do it, you can do it, and if you can't do it, you can't do it; ”

Horizontal criticism: "Enlightenment!"
