"Ahh

The voices of exclamation came and went.

The war has begun?

Contacting Fred and most of the Iris Knights suddenly coming here, the knights couldn't help but have a guess, but they didn't take the initiative to ask, but looked at Fred Wolf with their eyes.

"Get up."

Fred said. His gaze looked east, and from this spot on the edge of the Kingfisher Forest, the fields in the distance stretched as far as the eye could see—

To the east of the kingfisher, there is a field of gentle flowers. This area is no longer a lofty and steep mountain range, as in the Nogo Mountains, but a large area of shrub and birch woodland.

"In the Ensada area, a large number of mercenaries have been recruited, and they have gathered in the area of the Silver Leaf Forest."

"Ah, the Earl? Is he trying to do something? ”

Some knights couldn't help but have questions. Although there have been occasional frictions between these lords of the Northland, this kind of posture between the two sides has never happened in the last few decades of Norgo.

They knew Ensada very well, and that the hoplite legions in that area were famous throughout the kingdom. It's just that in the "Fog Pine War", that legion suffered heavy casualties and has not yet recovered.

Ensada still has the confidence to provoke a war? What the hell did the Earl think?

Mercenary? Mercenary, what is that?

In the face of the powerful Iris Knights, these unorganized rabble are more like cannon fodder. The "Fog Pine War", which broke out in 551, has long proven that cannon fodder does not mean much to war-

Cutting off the head is still a hard work, after all, the human cervical spine is a little hard, but these well-trained and battle-hardened knights, killing people is as easy as eating and drinking.

As if to see through the doubts of these knights, Fred continued:

"Supposedly, it was a group of mercenaries from Marvey."

"I've heard of their reputation, and this time the enemy may not be as easy to deal with as we think."

Cumberland replied.

After receiving the news of the defeat of his eldest son Randall, the middle-aged knight was still in great grief, but at this time, in the face of Fred Wolff, he still kept a cool head-

Compared with the extermination of bandits, war is obviously much more important to these knights.

He grasped it quite clearly.

As soon as they heard the name "Malvey", the knights' eyes became complicated, ranging from surprise, curiosity, and excitement......

Since the Battle of Andrew in the Year of Bauhinia (538 in the continental calendar), Malvey's mercenaries have earned a great reputation in the fierce battles against the Recarts-

In contrast, Elant's mercenaries are like children playing house games compared to their peers.

In that country of merchants and mercenaries, there are many large and super-large mercenary groups, and their number and scale are thousands, or even tens of thousands—

Among them, the power of the awakening level is naturally very popular, and some of the strong mercenaries are even famous, and even these knights of the Iris Knights are occasionally heard.

Cumberland had heard a lot about the Battle of Andervendo, and he couldn't help but wonder a little about the names of those mercenary organizations.

But Fred didn't say anything, and he kept silent and fell silent.

The two groups of knights converged and regrouped, and instead of returning to their temporary camp, they followed the Laru River and headed directly to the Field of Flowers.

The atmosphere along the way is quiet and serious.

War seems to be on the verge of breaking out.

The knights occasionally whispered to each other, and Cumberland finally learned the reason for the incident from the mouth of another knight chief.

Three days before the New Year's festival, on the 28th of December, the year of the new moon, the nobles of Northland Norgo held a joint meeting in Tarun, attended by the royal princess Samantha Edwin, the Count of Taron Savalen Wolff, the Count of Karthas Maddock Collins, the Viscount of Anjou, the Viscount of Serris, and so on.

A woman, whose figure and beauty were striking, with long black hair like a waterfall, and when she appeared at the meeting in a long red silk dress, all the nobles were stunned—

The aristocracy had no shortage of women, but when this woman came to them, even if she was in her fifties, such as Mardock Collins, Count of Karsas, her heart was inevitably beating faster and her lips were dry.

She calls herself "Anna".

When the nobles raised their hands to pass the ruling on the ownership of Silver Leaf Town, the woman rose from her seat at the meeting, and her magnetic voice rang out:

"This is a despicable, shameful, rigged meeting by some, and Ensada cannot recognize the absurd result of the vote. Since you are plotting against a lord of a kingdom, we do not mind, and respond to a war of resistance. ”

After saying that, she left the conference room accompanied by the guards, leaving only a large group of nobles of old and young stunned.

Samantha looked worriedly at Fred, who was in attendance, and Fred looked at his father, Savaren Wolff, and then the Earl of Talon met with Count of Karthas, Maddock Collins.

When did Ensada's bones become so hard?

After the "Fog Pine War", Ensada's military strength has long been extremely weak, compared to the Afradi family that has suffered heavy losses in the Ceris area, it is not much better, Count Rock Lambert of Ensada, how can he have such great confidence?

War?

War has always been a political means, and what you can't get at the conference table, then use the sword to take it. What's more, the current Ensada lacks enough strength, like the hard stone of the Tassia people that not many people like to touch, but the soft persimmon?

Naturally, I am happy to pinch it.

The royal family, Talen and Karthas had secretly reached a union of interests, and at this time, there was even a reason to teach the count a lesson.

There is no royal family, and the intention is to rebel.

With the exception of the two old foxes, Savalen and Maddock, this matter was none of the concern to the other lords, and as long as it did not involve themselves, they were happy to remain silent.

The cunning Mardock Collins looked at Savalen, the two well-dressed and personable noble gentlemen seemed to exchange a lot of content in the silent intertwining of their eyes, Madock did not take the initiative to speak, he was waiting patiently-

Princess Samantha married Talon, and this matter should have been provoked by Talon's side.

There was silence in the chamber, and after a moment the Count of Talen, Savaren, coughed slightly, calling the attention of the nobles present, and at last, he said at the long table of the council:

"The Arrandia dynasty fell apart in the flames of war, since the great Elantra ancestor raised his sword to end the troubled times and expand the territory, the golden eagle banner has endured the wind and rain for thousands of years, and people's lives have been happy and peaceful since then...... The dignity of the Edwin royal family is inviolable, and Locke Lambert defies the royal family, resists the fair vote of the council, and tries to threaten war...... As we all know, the backbone of a kingdom lord is like steel, and he never gives in easily...... So, with the authority of His Majesty the wise and wise Edwin, the most loyal subordinate of the royal family, Savalen Wolff, Earl of Talen, ......"
