The Grand Duke has defected!

This is like a thunderbolt from the blue, instantly disrupting the otherwise stable order. Faced with the sudden collapse of the kingdom's northern barrier, the nobles of the kingdom, realizing the crisis, rushed towards their respective territories overnight!

Regardless of whether he went north to crusade against the Grand Duke or hid far away, the big guy chose to stay away from the royal capital, a private territory belonging to the royal family.

But in fact, only those big nobles who got the news in advance could run away one step in advance, and most of the middle nobles who were stranded in the royal capital were blocked by the royal city guards when they wanted to withdraw because the news was not timely.

The freedom of 人 (shēn) was restricted, and the nobles who remained in the royal capital had to stand in the same boat with the royal family, even if they were only thinking about their own lives, and mobilized most of their troops to serve as cannon fodder for the royal army.

Yes, cannon fodder. The foundation of the ruling power of the royal family of the Hegemony Kingdom is based on strong force. In order for the royal family to maintain the strength suppression of other nobles in the war, it is necessary to carry the troops of other nobles to fight together, and let the troops of other nobles go to the battlefield first to consume. Only in this way, even if the royal family is finally defeated, the casualties of other nobles will be more heavy than the royal army, and then they will lose the strength to take advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos. That's a good saying, it doesn't matter if you can't outrun the enemy, as long as you can outrun your teammates. It doesn't matter if you can't beat the enemy, as long as you can beat your own people. As long as you can beat your own people, even if there are occasional failures in foreign wars, it is not easy for big chaos to occur at home.

Therefore, after discovering that the Grand Duke had defected, the other great nobles would flee the royal capital as soon as possible. Even if the rules of the royal family are violated, it is impossible for the royal family to declare war on many great nobles at the same time, so there is no chance of victory at all. Of course, other great nobles would not rush to partner with the defecting Grand Duke. If anyone dares to take the lead in doing so, they will inevitably encounter the effect of "killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys". As for the Grand Duke, who made the family so strong in combat that even the royal family had to deal with it? Speaking of which, the royal family was not afraid of a frontal battle with the Grand Duke. What really worries the royal family is that the Grand Duke does not stand up to him! If the Grand Duke breaks through Hongye City, he releases a slave hunting group that is famous abroad and wreaks havoc in the royal territory. Originally, the royal family wanted to support the second and third sons of the Grand Duke, so that they could have the title of Earl in advance and compete with the eldest brother, so as to produce an effect similar to the "Tui En Order" and weaken the power of the Grand Duke's descendants. It's a pity that the decisive Grand Duke directly raised his second and third sons as pigs.

And now, the Grand Duke has finally defected. At the same time as the Grand Duke defected, the Grand Duke's eldest son, Bacon Riel, also launched an attack on Hongye City. According to the news sent back from Hongye City, Hongye City has been captured by Bacon Riel at this time!

"To the north, control the territory of the Marquis of Red Fox, hold the south bank of the Pilian River, and monitor the enemies in the north!" Regardless of whether the Marquis of Red Fox lives or dies, the Marquis of Red Fox will bear the responsibility of taking the title if he loses his territory. That is to say, the territory of the Marquis of Red Fox no longer belongs to the Marquis of Red Fox from the moment the Marquis of Red Fox was defeated and lost Hongye City. As for whether this territory belongs to the Grand Duke or the royal family, or whether it is divided into other nobles, it depends on the next situation changes.

And now, if you want to stop the further southward invasion of foreign enemies, you must hold the Pilian River, which is fifty kilometers south of Hongye City. As long as this east-west river is choked, there is hope that the war will be blocked on the north bank of the river and buy time for the hegemony kingdom to mobilize troops. Mobilizing troops is not an easy task, the army can travel quickly, but the logistics must keep up, and it must be safe enough. If it was just a rapid march, it would take less than half a time for the elite cavalry with the acceleration magic to reach the front line. However, after all, the number of such elite cavalry is limited, and they are all elites that should not be sacrificed easily. Again, if the royal family wants to fight, they must bring other nobles to fight together. Dealing with an enemy like the Grand Duke, a rash attack could lead to the total annihilation of the vanguard army and demoralize the rest of the nobility in the country.

Well, while firmly controlling the big river of Pilian River, the royal vanguard army can also take the opportunity to loot the production in the territory of the Marquis of Red Fox, so as to achieve the effect of nourishing the war with war, or clearing the wilderness with a strong wall. Well, if you use the idiom "strong wall clearing" to describe it, it will make people blush a little.

However, King Saint Tya Yaba obviously did not expect that such a tactic of holding the country would encounter an accident. Specifically, it was the Grand Duke who was taunting a crane all the way to kill in the direction of the Pilian River!

In the face of the Grand Duke who killed a horse gun, the magicians left behind by the Kingdom Mage Regiment to guard immediately raised the alarm, and quickly transmitted the alarm back to the south bank of the Pilian River, the cities along the route, and the royal capital in the hinterland of the kingdom.

"It's too much of a deception!" Not long after the forward troops set off, they received such bad news, and Saint Tea Yaba immediately ordered the mage regiment to block the Grand Duke! As for the monsters that were led over by the Grand Duke? Monsters must not be allowed to rush into the territory of the royal family! As for whether or not to attract monsters to the territory of other nobles, it depends on the specific situation.

The appearance of the one-tailed Shouhe disrupted the plan of Santea Yaba, and the old king, who had been sleepless all night, always felt that the threat of the one-tailed Shouhe was too great. That's the guy who can run after a fourth-order mage like Quinriel. If Ichi-Tai Mori Crane wasn't strong, how could Quinriel risk encountering the mage group again and luring it to the heart of the kingdom?

"It's too much to deceive people!" I, who was ridiculed all the way, also fell into a state of extreme anger. Constantly releasing the tailed beast jade, I (ài) Luo controlled a tail of the crane desperate to kill the enemy. However, although the Tailed Beast Jade was extremely powerful, its speed was a little slower after all. Even if a Shou Crane can release the Tailed Beast Jade, this Tailed Beast Jade will be detonated in advance by the enemy's attack. At this point, the weakness of the Tailed Beast Jade's instability and relatively slow speed was exposed. From here, it can be seen that the Spiral Pill and the Spiral Shuriken created based on the Spiral Pill are also unstable. It's a pity that in the world of Naruto, in the face of such an unstable attack, the ninjas will only dodge and resist, without trying to detonate it in advance. In Zuo Zhe's opinion, a shuriken with a detonation charm can detonate the spiral shuriken in advance.
