He knew that he had become a banner, and those defeated nobles would not desperately resist when they saw his fate.

In the hall of the main castle, Delseth asked Count Maras, "It's better now, it's much quieter, and now you can tell me who instigated you to provoke us?" ”

"Yes, sir!" Count Maras said, "Duchy Vokkaran, instigated me to know the Grand Duke of Vokkaran, as well as my feudal lord, Duke Vance, Duke Vance, and Grand Duke Vokkaran have instructed me to test your attitude!" ”

"What I want to know is, why are they tempting me? Is there any benefit to them in doing so? ”

Deseth was a little puzzled, although William sent him here to expand the territory, but it was a secret after all, and no one knew why he came here.

"They have been coveting the Duchy of Maineke for a long time, and the previous governor has been very good at building this place for many years, making it very rich, and my feudal lord and Duke Vokkaran want to get their hands on it!"

They asked me to test it to find out your attitude towards us, and if we were weak, we could unite and threaten you to annex the territory of the Principality of Maineke! ”

Delseth couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect that he hadn't officially started to make up his mind on them, and the other party actually calculated himself first.

He couldn't help but smile, and then said, "I understand, what is the attitude of the other forces?" ”

"It's such a governor, they are not as eager for the territory of the Principality of Maineke as my lords, but they are also very hot, but they don't dare to take the lead, if they see the benefits, they will definitely follow and rush up!"

Delseth nodded, narrowing his eyes slightly, thinking in his heart about the words of Count Maras.

It's not that he doesn't believe in Count Maras, the other party now has no interest in his feudal lord, after all, all his territory is in the hands of Delseth, and he also knows the strength in the hands of Delseth, so he thinks that those people simply don't know whether to live or die.

With these words in mind, Delseth hoped that he would be able to involve the other minor nobles, and that he was confident that he would win.

Although the royal infantry seems to be relatively small, it is still very strong in combat, and Delceth can also mobilize the residents of the Duchy of Maineke, and can get a lot of servant troops.

Although the servant army was not strong, it was more than enough compared to the serfs.

Even if it were two principalities, the regular army that could be mobilized together was only about five or six thousand, and this was the result of all of them united.

If the nobility of the principalities is not united, there will be fewer troops mobilized, and they will not cooperate with each other in battle.

Most of their main forces are still serfs, and if serfs are not mobilized, Delceth can use a large number of servant troops to consume the enemy's strength.

William had allocated so many troops to Delcess so that he could expand his territory here, and of course, the most important thing was the orc slaves.

On the other hand, the Grand Duke of the Principality of Vokaran was in his palace, worried.

The news of the defeat of Count Maras and the capture of the Count of Maras had reached his ears, and he guessed that Count Maras must have confessed them.

Moreover, according to the news from the spies, it seems that Count Maras's troops are not able to resist the attack of the other party at all, which means that the number of troops they have seen before is very large.

Until then, they had believed that those troops were a small number of elite troops that William had piled up with a lot of money and resources to maintain colonial rule in the Duchy of Maineke.

Of course, the royal infantry was indeed piled up by a lot of resources that William had expended, but when they were skilled, they were not as few as they thought.

On the contrary, the main forces of William's battle were all these powerful troops.

After several forces that had some thoughts about the Principality of Mainek learned about this news, they were immediately a little uneasy, they didn't expect that the person they were trying to test would have such a large number of elite troops.

What they thought was that they wanted to unite themselves and others, even if there was such a powerful army, it would still be inevitable that they would be strangled and annihilated.

But the premise of all this is that the elite army is a minority, and the more than 3,000 elite soldiers make them feel prohibitive.

How could they not be afraid of such an irresistible force?

"Guys, what do you think should be done about this?"

Grand Duke Vokkaran looked at the courtiers below him and said with some concern.

"Lord Duke, my lord, please don't worry, I don't think that new Governor of Lorik will do anything to us!"

"If he had some sanity in his heart, they wouldn't want to provoke us!" The courtier swore to Grand Duke Vokkaran.

"Don't you know? The extremely powerful soldiers who used to occupy the majority of the opponent's troops, how can we resist such a powerful force? ”

"You know, some of my vassals are already dissatisfied with me, and the dispute between Count Kafra and me has been going on for four years, and it has not yet been resolved!"

"If war breaks out now, he may fall into the trap on me, refuse my conscription obligation to him, and even sneak attack on my territory is not impossible!"

Grand Duke Vokaran's expression was very unpleasant, because the situation in the Principality of Vokaran was indeed not optimistic.

The courtier smiled and said, "Don't worry, my lord, aren't there already many lords who have expressed their willingness to unite with us?" ”

"I don't trust them!" Grand Duke Vokkaran said, "They are all unprofitable fellows, and if they knew that the governor had such great strength, they would definitely abandon us!" ”

"So what? They have no choice! The courtier said, "Count Maras has been taken prisoner, and he must have told the governor everything, and they will not escape!" ”

"They must join us to fight against this governor's soldiers, not to mention that after we join forces, we may not necessarily be the opponent of that governor!"

After the vassals finished speaking, the courtiers who were originally a little flustered calmed down a little, and even the Grand Duke of Wokaran let go of his heart a little.

"But if we don't unite, we're sure to be crushed by that Governor of Lorik one by one, so we must use this reason to unite everyone!"

"You're right!" Grand Duke Vokkaran said, "But who is responsible for this? ”

"I beg your pardon, I'm willing to do this for you, after all, this proposal is my proposal, and no one is more suitable than me!"

The vassal said.

"Well, I hope you can succeed, I'm here waiting for your good news!" Grand Duke Vokkaran said.
