"My lord," Touron said, pushing open the door to his office, grimacing, "Sorry to bother you, there's news for you." ”

Rand casually placed the drawing he was working on in his hand in the pile of papers next to him and glanced at Touron.

Touron rarely gets so serious, and he looks a little uneasy, much to Rand's surprise.

"What's wrong?" Rand wondered to himself, could there be something wrong with the City Hall?

Touron took a deep breath, thinking of the shock he had just received the news, and he deliberately slowed down his speech: "Just got the news of the Imperial City, the Duke has officially declared war on Mera City!"

Rand shrugged his shoulders, Duke Winton often waged war against other families, and it was nothing to worry about, just a few months ago, Duke Ron had died at the hands of the First Legion.

However, Mela City sounds familiar......

Mera City?

It's the Mera city of the Duke of Parra!

Rand stood up, in today's Iron Stream, Mera City, Tallinn and Imperial City are in a triangular trend, maintaining a superficial balance under the threat of the Holy See, it can be said that these three cities are the most powerful tripartite forces in the Iron Stream.

The territory of Tieliu is completely supported by these three cities, and now without the strong supervision of the Holy See, it is inevitable that this temporary balance will be broken, but what Rand did not expect is that the war will come so quickly.

Rand didn't like war-shrouded kingdoms in his heart, but he knew that since he came to this world, his fate had long been out of his control, and if Duke Winton didn't seize this opportunity to defeat Norrington and Parra, he was afraid that it would be difficult to unify Iron Flow after the Holy See recovered.

Rather than let the Holy See rule Tieliu, Rand would prefer his father to ascend to the throne, after all, the conflict between the Capetian family and the Holy See has led to many bloody facts.

If the Holy See settles in Tieliu, I'm afraid the first thing to solve will be Duke Winton, who they regard as a thorn in their side.

As a member of the Capetian family, how could he possibly have good fruit to eat?

"The First Legion has departed, the Second Legion has also left the garrison as a reserve, and your elder brother Commander Ron has been ordered to stay in Lindong," Touron took out the warrant of the Imperial City, his face was complicated, "The Third and Fourth Legions patrol day and night, monitoring the movements of Tallinn and the royal family, my lord, Tieliu's naivety is about to change." ”

Rand silently listened to Touron's report, walked to the window and pushed it open, the cool morning breeze made his mind a little clearer.

There are a lot of things involved in the big move of the Imperial City, but at present, it seems that the Air Crossing Domain is not within this range, compared to the huge legion, the combat power of the Air Crossing Domain cannot play any role in this war at all.

"Isn't there an order for the Empty Ferry Lord?" Rand asked.

The location of the Kongdu Territory is located at the very edge of the territory ruled by the Capetian family, with endless and steep mountains on the east and west, Lindong City to the north, and the only one that can be attacked in the south is close to the Serra River.

In terms of geographical location, the terrain of the Air Crossing Territory is an excellent defensive terrain, and if it were not for the limitation of the range of buildable terrain, the Air Crossing Territory could definitely become another military powerhouse.

"Lord Duke's warrant," Touron pulled a warrant from his bosom, "a secret message from Nighthawk. ”

Rand looked at the warrant, which was sealed with wax pills, and a bad premonition welled up in his heart.

He took it from Touron's hand and opened it in front of Touron.

There wasn't much on the letter, but Rand's face turned ugly.

This is a warrant for the transfer of Rand back to the Imperial City.

The letter makes it clear that the war was approaching, and the location of the Airland was remote and the family could not protect it, and considering the safety of the Rand and the barrenness of the Skydo, the Duke of Winton decided to let the Rand return to the Imperial City in response to possible assassinations and attacks.

The Duke of Winton didn't say much in the letter, but Rand could imagine that the Imperial City could accept himself and his officials, but the people of the Kongdu Territory were not eligible to be accepted, and the Capetian family ruled more than a dozen cities, and the number of villages and towns was even greater, and those low-level farmers and slaves were never taken seriously.

Their lives, like weeds and dead branches on the side of the road, will not be looked at by the Imperial City at all.

But Rand doesn't think so.

During the period of his reign, the Kuto Domain developed to this point, and he devoted countless energy and efforts to it.

Factories for the production of standard weapons, mechanized mines, a new educational situation and policy, and a cavalry regiment that has just been formed.

Rand really couldn't give it all up.

He pondered for a moment, crumpled the warrant in his hand, and threw it into the trash can next to him.

I will never leave the empty collar.

Rand gritted his teeth and ordered Touron: "Let the city hall issue an order, from now on, all the troops of the air ferry will step up the training progress, and expand the patrol range of the rangers, notify the soldiers at the docks of the Serra River, always keep an eye on the foreign ships, be sure to carefully inspect every merchant ship, and report it immediately if you find any suspicious person!"

Since he doesn't plan to return to the Imperial City, then he must do a good job of the security measures of the Kongdu Domain, although the Kongdu Territory should not be attacked in a short period of time, after all, Lindong City is in the rear of the Kongdu Territory, which is also an invisible deterrent.

But no one could have guessed what surprises would happen to those families who were stimulated by the Capetian family, and it never hurt to be more vigilant.

"Let Payne come to me, I have a task for him. Rand thought for a moment and added, "By the way, and Iron Fist." ”

Just as Rand gave the order, there was a sudden knock at the door, it was Rand's personal servant: "My lord, the messenger of the Peruvian family asks to see you." ”

Rand and Touron glanced at each other, the messenger of the Peruvian family?

What are they doing at this time, the merchant ship of Lanilus has just passed by......

"I see, let him wait a little bit. The Peruvian family's behavior was clearly unusual, Rand responded, but he was silently thinking in his heart.

"My lord, the messenger says that there is something very important and that I must see you at once...... "The servant's voice came again.

Well, Rand stamped the warrant he had just written and handed it to Touron, "You can do it as soon as you get back." ”

Thinking of the possible changes to face, Rand's heart was a little heavy, and only by improving the combat effectiveness of the army in a short period of time could it be possible to save the empty territory from the war that swept the kingdom.

As for the wins and losses of this war......

Rand never doubted the Duke of Winton's combat prowess.
