Chapter 469: Earl Barron
In the village of Burning Wood on the southern cliffs of the Silver Pine Forest, Barron Castle stood like a dark shadow, and the Earl of Barron paced restlessly back and forth in the room, and recently, more and more villagers were attacked by werewolves, and the dissatisfaction of the inhabitants of the territory against him was increasing, and even the pressure from the Kingdom of Gilneth was increasing.

As the owner of Barron's Castle, the Earl of Barron has repeatedly made achievements in the war and held on to his territory, as a territory given by King Gilneth for generations to live in, Barron has absolute leadership power in Barron's territory, but now, a werewolf crisis is coming.
With a bang, the door opened, and the commander, Prinval, walked in with two guards, and said respectfully to Count Barron: "Lord Lord Barron, five more villagers are missing, and there are traces and blood stains of wolves around them. ”
After Commander Prinval finished speaking, he lowered his head, and Commander Prinval was very guilty for not being able to capture the werewolf and surround the villagers.
The Earl of Barron took out a letter from the table, handed it to Prynnwal and said, "Look, King Jean Greymayne has written to me again, it is not only us who have been attacked by werewolves, but even Gilneth itself has been attacked, as a place where werewolf attacks are frequent, King Jean Greymane has asked us to investigate this matter thoroughly and find a solution as soon as possible." ”
Prynnval said, "If King Jean already knows what is going on here, why doesn't he send troops?" With the Gilnes army sweeping, our situation here will be much better. ”
Earl Barron shook his head and said, "Do you remember the original Scourge Legion? ”
Prynnwal nodded, gritted his teeth and said: "Remember, when the Scourge Legion went south, we sent a letter of request for help to King Jean, with the army of Gilne, it was easy to defeat the army of the Scourge Legion that went south, but King Jean rejected our request for help, and ordered us to retreat behind the wall of Greymane, if it weren't for the decisiveness of the Lord and the order to defend Barron's Castle, I'm afraid that our territory would have become a ruined area long ago." ”
Earl Barron listened to Prinnval's words, as if he had returned to that time period, at the beginning, he took all the people in Barron's territory to take advantage of the favorable terrain of Barron's Castle to fight against the Scourge Legion, that battle was very miserable, the entire territory, only more than 10,000 people survived, and even fewer strong men, and now, the army in his hands, from 20,000 integrated troops, to more than 2,000 now, the scope of his command has been reduced by three-quarters, and the prestige of the Barron family is no longer what it used to be.
Earl Barron said: "The last time King Jean invaded the south of the Scourge Army, we were facing a moment of life and death, and did not mobilize the army of Gilneth to rescue us, do you think this time, he will send troops?" ”
Prynnval said, "We have to try, with our current manpower, let alone clearing the werewolves, even the defense is difficult, what if King Jean changes his mind and wants to get out of the wall of Greymane?" After all, the Scourge has passed, and now that the Araso Empire has accepted the Silver Pines Forest, we still have hope of recovering our homeland. ”
Back then, the territory of the Kingdom of Gilneth was also very vast, its territory covered the village of Burning Wood in the south of the Silver Pine Forest, Ambermir and the part south of it, and the entire Gilneth Peninsula.
Thinking of this, Prinnval's eyes lit up, and he said to Count Barron, "Lord Barron, perhaps, we can get King Jean to send troops through other means. ”
Count Barron frowned, glanced at Prinnwal, thought for a moment, and said, "You talk about it first." ”
Prynnwal said: "In order to build the Wall of Greymane and cut off the kingdom of Gilneth from the outside world, we did not hesitate to cede the territory that originally belonged to the Crowley family, the village of Burning Wood and Ambermir, and if we fully supported the High Lord Darius Crowley, we might have been favored by him. ”
Earl Barron's brow furrowed, and he said to Prynnval, "Haven't you always hated politics?" Why did you suddenly mention this, did the High Lord Darius Crolley buy you, or did you think of yourself? ”
Prinval said sadly: "I have followed the adults for so many years, what kind of person I am, don't the adults still know? When the Scourge Corps went south to attack Barron Castle, my father, my mother, my own brother, and my eldest son were all killed in the battle of Barron Castle, and our family gave everything to Barron's territory, I don't want to see him be swallowed up by an unknown werewolf force, look at the reports of the past few months, we have hundreds of people missing, and the number of people fleeing is still increasing, according to this development, Barron's territory, but it is really over. ”
Count Barron closed his eyes and said: "Prynnwal, I understand your feelings, but getting involved in the political maelstrom will only swallow up us people, look at how many foreign lords there are in Gilneth now, look at Gilneth, and a few lords like me who can form an army independently, I didn't listen to the edict and forcibly stayed in the territory of Barron, it was already considered a disobedience, how many pairs of eyes are staring at me in the Kingdom of Gilneys, let me go to the great lord Darius Crowley, I'm afraid, It can only attract the wrath of King Jean. ”
Prynnval said unwillingly: "Even if we don't take refuge with the great lord Darius Crowley, we can still find Lord Vincent Goldfrey, maybe he has a way to say that it is not necessarily, back then, wasn't it King Jean who was persuaded by Lord Vincent Goldfrey to agree to participate in World War II?" ”
Count Barron said, "No, although Lord Vincent Godfrey is a great minister of the kingdom, he may not be able to shake King Jean's mind, and if he is discovered, he may get into trouble." ”
Prynnwal said: "There's always hope for a try, better than watching Barron fall." ”
Earl Barron pondered for a long time in his heart, and finally nodded and said, "Okay, I agree, you can do this matter, don't let the news leak." ”
Prinval was overjoyed, and immediately retreated, and when Prinval had finished writing a letter to Vincent Goldfrey, he thought about it, picked up a pen and paper, and wrote a second letter, addressed to the Grand Lord Darius Crowley, and gave the two letters to his cronies and sent them to the royal capital of Gilness.
