It turns out that the fire that Sask put down in the Silver Leaf Forest did effectively achieve its purpose-

The surging heat in the air carried a scorching smell, and by the time Fred Wolf and the knights of the Iris Knights arrived at the Silver Leaf Forest, they had already seen this scene of fire—

This road is not working.

At least until the fire is extinguished, people and horses will not be able to pass through the area.

"What the hell is going on here?"

The young knight Viduka rode in the procession, looking at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but be shocked, and his companions around him talked about it, and began to wonder if it was the earl's handiwork—

What a crazy head it takes to do such an unexpected thing.

Crazy and playing self-harm?

Most of the Silver Leaf Forest was located in the Ensada region, and belonged to the domain of the Earl, and the knights looked at the continuous fire in front of them, and grabbed the reins of their horses, and at this time, after a few brief conversations, they fell into a silent silence.

Fred Wolf just glanced in the direction of the forest, and immediately withdrew his gaze. The Knight Captain of the Iris Order, Cumberon Jeffrey, was on one side, only slightly losing half of his body, and from the faces of the two people, it could be seen that their expressions became solemn almost instantly.

The point of their team was to run and gain enough negotiating advantage before Ensada could fully react, but the scene in front of them had already broken their original plan-

From this moment on, the attack lost its possibility.

The will and determination of the other party to resist is unmistakable.

Perhaps from this battle, the contradictions between the two sides will evolve into a long-term war.

In front of them, a tall straight birch tree on the side of the road, the flames stretched over the branched branches, and the curling green smoke drifted in the wind, and then, with a loud bang, a thick branch fell in the middle of the road with sparks—

Although the knights' horses were well trained, they couldn't help but raise their front hooves and let out a melodious neighing in the face of the danger that was approaching.

"I guess it's hard for me to understand this move."

"I feel the same way."

Evans sighed, and Viduka, after pursing his lips tightly for a long time, nodded slowly and agreed.

Fred and Cumberland looked at each other speechlessly, and for a long time, finally turned their horses.

Silver Leaf Town is not too far away from here, but the original battle plan has to be abandoned.

On the other side of the forest, the men led by the sheriff of Silver Leaf Town, Peake, and the Lynx mercenary group had gathered, and they had temporarily assigned their respective tasks, and without any hesitation, they began to get busy and nervous.

The "Sky Wind" mercenary group left the silver leaf town and went to Ensada City, which is a prosperous trade road where carriages and travelers frequently come and go, and the pedestrians on the side of the road can't help but stop and watch when they see such a large mercenary team-

When Sask met with the Earl, only a few "resurrectants" around him followed him into the city, but this time such a movement had already made people with a heart quietly mutter-

Without the permission of the lord, it is very taboo to lead a large number of armed mercenaries into the city without permission.

Melville, the Lich, rode on his warhorse, perhaps not very accustomed to long rides, and he already felt a slight discomfort in his hip bone—

But the thought of the Earl's thunderous roar at Sask made him look forward to it.

Not far in front of him, Sask had a straight back under his white cloak, and with his handsome appearance, he really looked like a legendary knight who walked out—

However, none of the dead, including this army of the dead, understood much of Sask's inner thoughts, and his gaze was as quiet as a pool of stagnant water that had lost its waves.

Enter the city.

Sask wasn't sure if the Earl would agree, but it was one of the best interests for the deceased to join this war of human nobility—

He's even figured out his rhetoric.

"I am willing to fight side by side with the valiant knights under the command of the Earl, and crush all invading enemies head-on."

This is just a seemingly bloody excuse, in fact, one of Sask's principles is that he will never let such a human nobleman be left alone in a war, and what he hopes is that the war between the two sides will be as fierce as possible.

This is also one of the promises made by Anna to Lord Rosenthal.

Sask didn't know the inside story of the deal between the two big names, and of course, he didn't have much interest in paying attention, but what Lord Rosenthal revealed to him had already made him firm in his mind-

If necessary, Mistress Anna will take control of the Count.

From the town of Silver Leaf to the city of Ensada, a flat and wide trade road is less than forty miles away, and by this time, the sky sown by the afternoon sun has changed into a starry night, like a deep and dark canvas, inlaid with countless sparkling diamonds.

The soldiers guarding the gates stopped their ranks.

Sask rode on his horse, reached into his bosom and pulled out the edict of Count Lambert, which was considered to indicate his identity, but such a large number of people wanted to enter the city of Ensada, and it was beyond the soldier's authority—

The soldiers called the captain, and soon, after a brief exchange of salutes, the captain of the soldiers who were guarding the city gate tonight sent his men to the city lord's palace to ask for advice from the earl.

……

Locke Lambert smashed an antique vase with a portrait of a lady, and he walked around the room like a wounded lion, the fine red velvet carpet wrinkled by his cowhide boots—

Anna stood on the side of her desk and saw a young maid carrying a tray bringing dinner, acting very cautiously and without making any sound.

"Sask!"

Lord Earl gritted his teeth and muttered the name, and on his forehead, he could clearly see several bulging veins beating—not long ago, Cole, the tax collector of Silverleaf Town, had sent a carrier pigeon, and he had received the terrible news.

The Silver Leaf Forest was set on fire by Sask and the others.

It's just perfunctory and shameless!

If it was just to set fires, he believed that he didn't need to invite these mercenaries from Malvey at all, and there were not a few of his subordinates who were used to doing this kind of thing-

All he was looking forward to was for the mercenaries to hold off Tarun's bastards for some time.

He was disappointed, but waited for an unexpected bad news-

Leaving aside the losses from the forest fires and the large amount of rael spent on hiring these mercenaries, with his normal mind as a powerful lord, this fire had already shown his enemies an attitude akin to a shipwreck.

But this attitude is not in his plan.

"Anna, that's how those Marvey mercenaries complete their tasks for their employers?"

Thinking about these things, he occasionally looked up and saw the woman who was still smiling, and his throat couldn't help but make a high-pitched, trembling sound - he was rarely angry with Anna, but this time, he made an exception.

In the corridor outside the study, from some dark corner, a black cat jumped lightly.
