Chapter 687: Archduke Vokalaan's Letter
Delseth looked at the nobles below with contempt, in his opinion, this is a group of people who are unlearned, incompetent, and incompetent, after seeing those outstanding people in the central and eastern parts of the continent, he does not take these nobles seriously.
After all, the central and eastern regions are the places that have inherited part of the mantle of the Dells Empire, and the overthrow of the Dells Empire is also the help of the residents and governors of the central and eastern regions.
The western part of the continent was arguably liberated by those people, and after the collapse of the Dells Empire, the garrisons here fled back to their homeland with little military action.
Although there were some people who wanted to be independent here, they were not generals, but petty officers with small groups of soldiers, who were overthrown by the Westerners within a few months.
After the overthrow, the Westerners began to fight among themselves, but since the Dells Empire did not rule here for long, the local population was generally uncivilized tribesmen.
After hundreds of years, they gradually became influenced by the central and eastern parts of the continent and began to develop towards the Gangzi in the central and eastern parts of the continent.
But by now, neither the art nor the knowledge of war has been as prosperous as the central and eastern parts of the continent.
If such a scenario is placed in the central and eastern parts of the continent, there is at least a sixty percent chance that the nobles will choose to continue to hold on, because they know that this has reached the time of incomparable crisis.
If they don't stick to the castle, then they will face the enemy's most terrible counterattack, and they will not be able to defeat the enemy when they are united, and they will be even less opponents when they disperse.
This is especially evident among the middle-class nobles, who not only need to bend their minds to meet their superiors, but also suppress their vassals to maintain their strength.
So, their keen sense of smell will definitely allow them to make the right decision.
But these western nobles only pay attention to immediate interests, and the loss of their own soldiers only makes them feel distressed like this, and when Delceth leads this royal army to counterattack, their losses will be ten times that of today's losses.
In this way, the soldiers retreated, and Delceth left the walls and returned to the main fortress.
In the following period, the enemy attacked several times, but without exception, they did not even touch the city walls.
After confronting the defenders of the castle for a while, they had no choice but to sack Maras County and leave the place in disgrace.
Wokaran rode his war horse and looked worriedly at the land of Maras County behind him, he knew that after he and the others withdrew, they would definitely be counterattacked by the enemy, and after the coalition was disbanded, no matter which nobleman's strength could not compare to the enemy.
At that time, if the other party wants to clean up the nobles of the coalition army, it will not be nine out of ten.
He stroked his beard, feeling that he had to find a way to avoid it.
He didn't want to lose his realm and his ancestral dukedom.
The nobles of the coalition army returned to their territory one after another, and this time they sent troops to even take out their old books, originally thinking that there was no difficulty in defeating the enemy, but they did not expect to return in vain.
Not only did they not defeat the enemy, but even their own army suffered such great losses.
The little looted in Maras County could not even make up for the cost of logistics, and it can be said that the nobles who participated in the coalition army lost all their money.
But it can't be helped, it has happened, everyone knows that it is impossible to defeat the enemy again, and what they should be worried about now is how to deal with Delceth's counterattack.
Of course, there are also some people who think that although the battle was lost, the other side is not arrogant enough to dare to fight back against the "strong" them.
There is no doubt that there is a lack of brains with this kind of thinking, and most of the nobles are thinking about countermeasures.
They are now almost isolated, and most of them are independent nobles, with the Grand Duke of Vokkaran and the Duke of Melinda both independent duchies, not a kingdom carved out.
Therefore, they could not ask anyone for help, not even the nearby overlord-level powers, nor other kingdoms.
Because they have no grudges with the Kingdom of Lorik in the past, and there is no enmity in the near future, there is no need to offend the Kingdom of Lorik, a first-class power in the continent.
The original Tskema Kingdom itself is a first-class country on the mainland, and now William not only has two rich territories in the past, but also has a territory the size of the former Principality of Bunkerson, and his strength is stronger than before.
They were reluctant to provoke such a formidable enemy, even if the two sides were close to a distance of thousands of miles.
Of course, Delceth was not idle, he immediately mobilized a large amount of logistics, and the day after the enemy retreated, he led his troops to prepare to chase out of the castle.
Of course, they were not in pursuit, and he planned to break down the enemy one by one as soon as the enemy coalition was disbanded, and all their territories would be included in the colony.
And at this moment, before he had left the castle, he received a letter.
"Your Excellency, a man claiming to be the messenger of the Grand Duke of Vokkaran has a letter that wants to see you!"
Delceth listened: "Grand Duke Vokaraan? "He knew that Grand Duke Vokkaran was a very important figure in the enemy's coalition, what was he doing here?
However, Delseth soon understood what the other party meant, he knew that he was bound to fight back, and he must have sent someone to make some deal with him.
After the person was brought up, he looked at the person in front of him with great interest, and did not speak, he planned to wait for the other party to speak first.
"Hello, Count Delceth, the Governor of the Principality of the Kingdom of Lorik in the Principality of Maineke, I am Viscount Kafra, a courtier under the Grand Duke of Vokaran!"
"I have come to you on the orders of Grand Duke Vokaran to greet you peacefully!"
Delceth nodded expressionlessly and said, "Okay, I accept your greetings, now you can go back and tell Grand Duke Vokkaran!" ”
Delseth didn't bother with Viscount Cavram for a long time, and since he didn't say it clearly, then he had no reason to listen to him.
Viscount Kafra frowned slightly, smiled again and said, "In addition to this, my master, Grand Duke Vokaran, has a letter I want to give to you!" ”
As he spoke, he took out an envelope sealed with fire paint from his pocket, and one of the attendants next to Delceth took it and handed it to Delseth.
Delceth opened the envelope, briefly skimmed through the contents, and said to Viscount Cavra: "I already know what Archduke Vokkaran means, but I don't seem to have any reason to accede to his request, if I recover his territory, won't I be able to get more colonies?" ”
Delseth said with a smirk.
