Chapter 234: Territory War
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Earl Heather's covetousness for the Viscount of Farrant is a well-known thing among the surrounding noble lords, and due to the gap between the military and economic levels of the two sides, the Viscount of Farat has been in a passive defensive posture all these years.
Every autumn solstice, during the harvest season, Count Heather would launch a war of aggression against Viscount Frank as always, but every time he returned from Diolda's impregnable defense, and even Count Heather, who was in command once, almost died in Baixizer's sneak attack.
Even so, the Earl of Heather never gave up his ambition to encroach on the Viscount of Farrant over the years.
The reason for this is because of the geographical location of the Viscounty of Farrante.
If you look down on the whole territory of Sissinia, relying on the Lelasso Mountains to form a natural security rear, the Viscount of Frank has united the surrounding relatively weak lords and nobles with a combination of vertical and horizontal diplomatic means, so the only enemy to face in the territory under the noble alliance led by the Viscount of Farrant is the powerful Earl of Heather.
Moreover, the trade between the caravan of Viscount Frank Tongguò and the Kingdom of Adria on the other side of the Lelasso Mountain was able to survive the long war with the Count of Heather in terms of military economy.
On the contrary, the location of Earl Heather's territory is not ideal, perhaps because of the jealousy of the surrounding noble lords for Count Heather's strength, the relationship between Count Heather and the surrounding lords and nobles has always been in a state of confrontation, and the involvement of military forces has also made Count Heather more and more powerless on the road to fighting for the supremacy of the Grand Duke of Sissinia.
If Count Heather succeeds in occupying the territory of the noble alliance led by Viscount Frank, there is no doubt that Count Heather, who has a natural and safe rear, will completely lose his worries, so that he can devote all his forces to the periphery and begin to expand the sphere of influence of the territory.
Diorda, the key and important gateway to the Viscount of Farrante's domain, as long as Diorda is breached, the army of the Earl of Heather can drive straight into it, completely forming an advantage at the strategic level.
It is a pity that the Earl of Heather has been defeated by one man over the years. And that person was none other than the White Frost Knight Bai Nishizawa.
A strong man at the peak of the top is not terrible, what is terrible is that the other party has excellent military command quality!
The personal strength of the top peak powerhouse may be able to defeat one by one, and it is difficult to stop the edge under the charge, but the peak of the top position is a person after all, once it is surrounded and attacked by the army, the peak of the upper position will also be exhausted, and if you are not careful, life and death will be difficult to protect.
Therefore, even Xia Lan did not dare to face the army that formed a numerical formation. Not to mention that Bai Nishizawa is such a wise person.
If he could kill a high-ranking powerhouse with his life, Earl Heather would definitely not hesitate to let his soldiers die, but the problem was that Bai Cize would never give him such a chance.
Earl Heather had set numerous traps and ambushes with the intention of killing Baicizer, but how could the intuitive Baisizer fall for it?
As a result, even if the Earl of Heather was unable to defeat Baicizer by all means of military superiority, the other party was like a poisonous snake hiding in a hole and could not die. As soon as Earl Heather reveals the slightest flaw, the serpent will bite you between the lightning and flint.
At this point, Earl Heather thought of the only way to defeat Baisizer.
And the way is to find a strong man who is also at the pinnacle of the top to delay the time for Bai Xize to command the rescue army.
In the land of Sisinia today, it is difficult for a new high-ranking powerhouse to pursue and recruit, let alone a high-ranking powerhouse who has half a foot in the law of fernu!
Viscount Farrant is a special case, if he had not cooperated with the Ancestral Council, if it had not been for the fact that Buggins coveted Serala. I am afraid that Viscount Farrant has now been wiped out by the Earl of Heather.
When the spies of Telalo City sent back the information that another high-ranking powerhouse had joined Viscount Frante, Count Heather's face suddenly turned pale and gray, and this also became an important reason for Count Heather to withdraw from the army.
……
After several days of trekking, Charan and his party passed through the Papan Plains, and after passing through the area of the Mainke Gorge, Cantlan in Salis was close by, the sky was blue, and the cold wind was starting to bite. Winter is quietly coming.
When will the first snow come?
Xia Lan quietly looked at the sky and thought that this should not be something he cared about, but because of the essence of life, he had to share his mind about it.
Although he had seen the prosperity and power of the Earl of Heather underground along the way with Groan's company, he had a hunch that perhaps the superficially powerful Earl of Heather would really be overwhelmed by the conspiracy of Viscount Frank and their first winter snow.
Not for anything else, just because behind them stood the behemoth of the ancestors.
Groan cautiously glanced at Xia Lan, who was not far away. After getting along for the past few days, he also got to know each other's personalities in general, so he would no longer be afraid of him at the beginning.
This is a very cold man, and he has very few words. It can even be said that there is none.
As a result, the entire team was eerily terrifying because of his silence, as if his life would be in danger if he said more, and every time Groan wanted to liven up the atmosphere, but in the end he was all retreated and closed by Xia Lan's cold and indifferent gaze.
When Grohan saw the silhouette of Cantland in the distance, the depression in his heart seemed to be released.
"Your Excellency, we are about to arrive in Cantland."
Groan couldn't help but say.
"I see it."
Xia Lan looked into the distance.
"Lord Overred has sent someone to inform Lord Heather of Cantrane in advance, and there will be a special person waiting to receive us in Cantrant at that time." Groan's interest suddenly faded due to Xia Lan's indifference, and he sneered.
"When shall I meet with the Earl of Heather?" Xia Lan directly asked the question she cared about.
"This ...... I beg your pardon for not knowing ......," said Groan, with some trepidation, "Lord Eofred and Lord Heather value you, and perhaps Lord Heather will summon you soon after we enter the city. ”
"It was better to do so."
As Cantran got closer to it, the caravans grew, and their clothing showed that they came from different places, Adria, Pollock, Di Masis, and even merchants from the trading city-state of Estac.
It is arguably one of the most prosperous trading towns in the south of Western Sinia, and even the relationship of war cannot affect those who seek profit.
And will they be here? (To be continued)
