Griffith. Balmonk sat in his chair, the benches in the open air stained with a little snowflake, and in the distance, a storm was brewing in the lead-gray sky, and a faint thunder was brewing, and a blizzard was gathering momentum. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

There was no time to set up camp, so Griffith had his soldiers move the command platform directly to the top of the hill, and at the end of the slope was a quaint castle, the walls of which were covered with moss, making it stand out in the mottled snow.

That's Keynzburg.

After taking command of the Eastern Front in Wendland, Griffith immediately made contact with the regiments on the other fronts. After the news of the death of Count Ekrio, he stated the next battle plan of the Eastern Front Army.

According to the opinion of the Speaker of the Orfins, the Eastern Front Corps will not merge with the legions of other fronts, and they will go directly north into Zedi to attack the castle of Keynzburg, the owner of this castle is Leotis, the second prince of Aster, but the forces led by Keynz are relatively scattered, and the garrison of this castle is relatively weak.

"Lord Balmunck, the people of the Third Legion of Astor will surely also enter the Kainzburg, and it will be a little difficult for us to gnaw this bone."

Mura. Viscount Eric said that his injuries had not healed, and that he was now sitting on a chair covered in deerskin, looking at the lonely city in the distance.

"But along the way, we made a great stride, and there were almost no obstacles, which seems strange?"

Galio. Viscount Crassus, who was also still injured, sat on the other side, touched his chin and said.

"Astor has that Legendary-level Vera Hill. Strass, as well as a few silver-rank viscounts, and that terrifying white demon, is it a little inappropriate for us to attack the city so rashly? ”

Since many of the Wendland soldiers witnessed their golden-ranked Earl Ecrio being knocked flying by a small priest, the nickname "The White Demon of Aster" was privately circulated, and it didn't take long for the nobles to acquiesce to the nickname, referring to the mysterious young man whose name he didn't know.

"Don't worry, two adults, Your Excellency Speaker Orphin naturally has a plan, if it goes well, we just have to wait for Astel to open the city gate to welcome us in."

Griffith was unhurried and said slowly.

"Oh?"

Viscount Crassus understood what Griffith meant, and he tilted his head slightly, trying to find out more about the situation.

"There are a number of sensible nobles in Astre who have accepted our proposal and decided to change the situation of this decaying country together, and one of them is Geralheide of Keyinzburg. Viscount Springfield. ”

Griffith did not hide it either, and told him the information that Speaker Orphin had told him in his letter.

"He has bewitched Prince Leotis and turned Verahir. Strass led him to Fort Lothric, where Lord Salas would entertain the Ranger General, and at the same time, he would find a way to deal with the nobles of the Third Legion who remained in the castle, and once he had mastered the army, it would be as easy as searching for the castle. ”

"This person, I remember it is Prince Aster's right and left hand, I didn't expect His Excellency the Speaker to be able to get it."

Viscount Eric thought about it, he had heard of the high-level nobles of Asterl, as well as the nobles around the royal family, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised to hear that the nobles of such status were all loyal to Wendland.

"He's a guy who weighs the pros and cons and has the ambition to rely on us for his own benefit, which is quite normal."

Griffith said, looking meaningfully at the two viscounts beside him.

"However, such a life has a backbone, and it is very possible to rebel against us in the future."

Viscount Crassus said that he had always looked down on such traitors, even if they were traitors to the enemy.

"That's natural, when Cainzburg falls, I'll naturally execute this Viscount of Aster."

Griffith said lightly, as easily as crushing an ant.

"However, although this is said, it is not that simple to seize control of the entire castle, right?"

Viscount Eric looked at the overcast Keynzburg, the gates of which were closed and showed no sign of surrender.

"Whether he succeeds or not, we've been attacking the city since dark, and it will take a little time for the magic cannon to reach the front line anyway, so why don't we wait for the tent to be set up and have dinner together?"

Griffith actually didn't have much hope for Geralhaide, in fact, it was enough to lure away the legendary-level Verahill, and the rest, even without Geralhaide, they could capture the castle, at most the price was different.

"That's what Master Balmonk said."

When the three men saw that the tent had been set up, they did not want to talk any more in the cold and humid wind of the plain, but they went into the tent one after another, and ordered the soldiers to make a fire, and after a while the tent warmed up.

Dinner is quite simple, Wendland has always been simple and practical, unlike Astel has exquisite food, for the nobles of Wendland, black bread, beer, as well as blood sausage and bacon, these are a hearty dinner, but since entering Aster, they have also been exposed to a lot of Astel food, so for the taste, they are also a little more picky.

At present, the three of them are eating fresh fish soup produced in Zedi, stewed mushrooms with wild boar, and blood sausage mixed with vegetable salad, and the red wine of Astel is in the cup, just like the nobles of Astelle.

"It is precisely because the people of Astel like to make these flashy foods that this country is so weak and on the verge of collapse, and although we eat this kind of food now, we can't just sink and degenerate like them."

Crassus said that while he admired Astelle's delicious food, he did not have a good impression of the country, and in his opinion, Astelle was not as good as the iron-blooded Windland, and had nothing to offer other than a long history and humanity.

"That's nature, if we seize the territory of Aster, then we will definitely be able to develop further, this land is rich in resources, enough for us to develop for many years, to catch up with the Chalandel and the Northern Orlinsis Alliance."

Griffith said that he had investigated Astor and knew that the most valuable thing to Windland was Astelle's abundant pyroxides, and that other properties were nothing before these magical deposits.

There is also the Eternal Night Forest to the west of Astre, this forest covered by the Sky Wall has not been set foot by humans, and the rich resources in it are what Wendland urgently needs, this forest is full of all kinds of powerful monsters, and it is accompanied by a variety of rare mineral deposits, according to historical records, the few explorations into the Eternal Night Forest, although the cost is high, the losses are heavy, but the resources brought back are far more than these costs, therefore, for this forest, Wendland has also coveted for a long time.

But before the three adults could finish their dinner, their conversation was interrupted by a roar.

It was the sound of old artillery from Keynzburg. (To be continued.) )
