Boulder Fort is the birthplace of Will's family, named after the fact that it was built on a large stone.

The walls of the megalithic fort are seven feet high, and the thick stone walls and perfect defense design make this castle a nightmare for most attackers.

Inside the Boulder Castle, important members of the Will family gathered in the hall.

According to the rules of the Will family, the members of the Will family can participate in the deliberations as long as they become quasi-knights.

At this time, there were nearly twenty people sitting in the hall, and the background of the Will family was indeed stronger than that of the Hunter family.

It is no wonder that the previous Hunter family has always been suppressed by the Will family, although there is only one knight on both sides, but the knight is a strategic deterrent for the two minor nobles, and if it is not a full-scale war, it is impossible to attack easily.

The Will family does have an absolute advantage in the confrontation at the quasi-knight level, but since Richard took charge of the Hunter family, the life of the Will family has become more and more difficult.

Now the Will family is not only gone, but the people under his rule often flee to the territory of the Hunter family, and the main defense force of the Hunter family has changed from peasant soldiers to a group of soldiers in white armor, this group of soldiers is not only well-trained, but also fierce and aggressive, a team of more than a dozen people dares to provoke the quasi-knights of the Will family, and the quasi-knights of the Will family cannot easily cross the line to hunt down the fugitive farmers.

Therefore, the recent deliberations of the Will family can never avoid the contradiction with the Hunter Leader, the contradiction between the two sides has long been open, and there has been no full-scale conflict, but it is just the restraint of the leaders of the two sides, after all, everyone has only one knight, and no one is sure of victory.

However, some recent news and events have made Viscount Will make up his mind.

Viscount Will, who was sitting in the first seat, was dressed in a gorgeous brocade robe, he clapped his hands, and the originally noisy council hall instantly fell silent.

As the patriarch of the Will family and the only knight of the family, Viscount Will has absolute prestige in the Will family.

All eyes turned to Viscount Will, who was in the first seat, waiting for him to happen.

"Recently I got the news that the Hunters have found a vein of iron ore in the Ironwood Forest."

rumble

This sentence was like throwing a stone into the calm water, and the already quiet hall became a little noisy.

The people of the Will family even breathed a little heavier, their eyes red, greedy, and angry.

The importance of iron ore to a territory is self-evident, in the eyes of the people of the Will family, the entire Hunter Territory should be their place, and the iron ore originally belonged to them.

"Big brother, is the news accurate?"

"I've sent spies to check and find the vein."

"Bang, big brother, let's go and ask them to hand over the vein now."

In the midst of the shouting, the would-be knight of the Will family couldn't help but slap the table.

"Yes, the lumberyards of the Ironwood Forest are ours too."

Sir Will looked at the angry crowd and nodded in satisfaction, this is what he wanted.

"Big brother, that kid from the Hunter family, with a belly of intrigue and trickery, will there be fraud."

Although the Will family is mostly a group of reckless people, there is no shortage of smart people.

"Hehe, of course, he thinks I'm a fool, and I have to surprise him."

Of course, Viscount Will considered that there might be fraud in it, so he sent someone to investigate the existence of the iron mine, so even if there was fraud, it was an upright conspiracy.

If you don't decide to do it, when the Hunter family relies on this vein to develop for a few more years, the Will family will be completely trampled under the feet of the Hunter family and reduced to vassals.

"Tars, come here." Tath is the second son of Viscount Will, who has shown great talent since he was a child, and is the son that Viscount Will values the most.

"Father." Tarth respectfully walked up to Viscount Will, compared to the joy of the Hunter family, the Will family paid more attention to the upper and lower humility.

"Show everybody."

"Yes"

Taas turned, and a blue-gray fighting spirit ignited in him.

The entire hall erupted in louder noises after a brief pause.

"Congratulations."

"Our family Tass is really a genius."

"There is a successor to the Will family."

The atmosphere in the whole hall was even more enthusiastic, and even those who were a little worried at the beginning now have full confidence. The Will family's force was already slightly stronger than the Hunter family.

In the past, it was only a balance in knight-level combat power, and the two sides did not dare to tear their faces rashly, but now that Tarth has also become a knight, the Will family has an absolute advantage in high-end force.

"Ahem"

Viscount Will coughed, and the hall fell silent again.

Go back and prepare, gather the guards and peasant soldiers of each family, and start in ten days, if the Hunter family does not know each other, let the entire Hunter Territory be coke.

Of course, Viscount Will wants to send troops earlier and earlier, but unfortunately the professional soldiers of the Will family and the Hunter family are different.

The Will family is still a traditional peasant soldier system, the quasi-knights are divided into various villages, and only a few attendants and guards around them are trained out of production for a long time, counting the time to recruit peasant soldiers and assemble at Boulder Fort, ten days is already a very fast speed.

After receiving Viscount Will's instructions, everyone dispersed to make their own preparations, and only Viscount Will and Tas were left in the entire hall.

"Tars, do you think there is anything wrong with this operation?"

When everyone dispersed, Viscount Will put away his confident appearance just now, and instead frowned and asked Tars.

"Is there anything else Father is worried about?"

"Hunter's Richard's kid is not easy to deal with, there must be a calculation in this."

"Then this time I am the link he missed, and I will definitely cut off his head."

Tas and Richard are both young geniuses, and they will naturally be compared in two adjacent territories, although they are a few years older than Richard, but they are faintly subordinate to Richard in the discussion of everyone, which is a thorn in his heart for the proud Tas, and this time he will completely pull out this thorn.

"Well, you can go down and get ready."

"We, whether we are knights or quasi-knights, are better than the Hunter family, and my father doesn't have to worry too much."

With that, Tarth also left the hall.

Only Viscount Will, who was still a little uneasy in his heart, was left to think in the hall.

Will even thought of the ridiculous possibility that Richard would also become a knight, and then shook his head, a seventeen-year-old knight, and there were several more in the entire Golden Dragon Kingdom.

Even, even if Richard also became a knight, the quasi-knights of the Will family still had an absolute advantage, and this operation was imperative.

…… A cold wind swept into the hall, and the chandelier on the roof shook a little.

Viscount Will lifted the corner of his coat that had been blown up, and clenched the long sword at his waist tightly, pressing down the strange uneasiness in his heart.

No matter what intrigues you have, you will be pale in the face of absolute strength.

……
