A few days after the battle, with the defeat of the noble coalition led by the Duke of Orlando, these nobles in the northern territory said goodbye to the duke one by one, and returned to their territory in frustration. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

On this day, at Fort Aubreen, the castle no more than 40 kilometers southwest of the barony, belonged to a viscount, and all the servants in the castle, including the steward, were trembling these days, for fear of angering the viscount who was extremely nervous, and it is no wonder that the viscount was said to have followed the duke's army on an expedition some time ago and suffered a rare defeat.

"Shhhh You don't want to die? The voice is smaller, damn it, don't bother us if you want to die. A soldier standing guard gestured fiercely to his companion who was chatting loudly.

The soldier with a loud voice also seemed to remember something terrible, shrunk his shoulders and subconsciously glanced left and right, and then lowered his voice and said, "Speaking of old Wright, I have seen that adults have forcibly recruited many farmers to participate in training these days, and I heard that even the knights have only returned 2 in this war... The gods are above, what kind of enemies did they encounter this time? ”

"Stand up to your post, this kind of thing is not something we little people can talk about, if you want to live well, shut up, Enrique." The older soldier ended the conversation decisively without questioning.

In the castle hall, "Bang! The silver-plated plate slammed into the face of one of the servants, and looking at the servant who was lying on the ground with blood on his face, Lord Viscount waved his hand in disgust, and shouted to the two soldiers who rushed to hear the sound, "What is the use of dragging this stupid bastard out and hanging himself in front of the city gates, and not even hearing my orders clearly?" The two soldiers could only drag the unlucky ghost who was begging for mercy to walk out, and this was the fourth person to be executed in the Viscount's rage in a few days.

It's hard for Lord Viscount to be so irritable, I thought that a victory that would be nine out of ten would not only please Lord Duke, but also pick some fruits of victory, but the fact was that the Viscount slapped a big mouth, not only did almost all the more than 200 soldiers he brought out not save one, but even the 10 knights who worked hard to recruit and support only came back two, one of them is still injured and can't get out of bed, and the hard work of several years is so ruined, the Viscount feels that he has suppressed his irritable mood enough.

Just as the Viscount was about to go back to the bedroom and vent his anger on the charming little maid, the door was pushed open again, and looking at the old butler who came in with a frightened face, the Viscount asked irritably, "Dear butler, what bad has happened again?" Are the ungrateful untouchables fleeing from the barracks again, or is my poor knight summoned by the gods? ”

The trembling butler did not bother to salute at this time, and hurriedly spoke, "My lord, I am afraid that it is worse than you think, the soldiers on duty have found an army, and they are about to reach our castle. ”

"The army? What army? Why didn't I receive the message? Which nobleman needs to pass through my domain? The viscount, who had never thought that Leo would take the lead in retaliation, was a little puzzled, and after thinking about it, the viscount decided not to bother anymore and beckoned the butler to lead the way, and he decided to go to the city wall to see the situation for himself.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

When the horse stopped on horseback, the heavily armed Leo looked at the hexagonal castle in front of him, turned slightly sideways and asked the baron beside him, "Dear Lester, is this the place you are talking about?" ”

"Yes, Leo, Viscount Charlotte J. Orrea, master of Fort Obryne and all the surrounding villages, and the Duke of Orlando's most loyal minions, one of the staunch advocates of the old-school aristocracy in the Northern Realm, and an absolute supporter of the rights of the nobility, including the disgusting power of the night." Baron Leicester explained in detail to Leo with some disgust.

"Well, I can sense from your words that you don't have a good relationship with this Lord Charlotte, so I'm relieved, my brother." Leo let go of his only fear, "This battle will be done by my soldiers alone, and believe me, it's only because your soldiers and knights have lost too much. Fearing that the baron would feel slighted, Leo explained.

Nodding indifferently about this, Baron Leicester thought about it and persuaded Leo, "Leo, I still don't agree with your approach, and Charlotte's family has a considerable influence in the Imperial Capital, and offending them too much will cause you a lot of resistance to the recognition of the House of Lords in the future." ”

"No, no, my friend, no matter how powerful the other party is, I have already made a decision this time, all the greedy must be punished, for the sake of the long-term peace between Stormwind and Nuremberg, I have to be forced to take up the sword, if only negotiation can solve the problem, then what is the use of our army?" Without hesitation, Leo refused the baron's persuasion again.

Seeing that the baron reluctantly agreed with his opinion, Leo did not delay, and called to Keith beside him, "Dear Keith, please and another knight fly the banner of us and the baron, and go to the castle to explain our intentions, I have only one request, from the Viscount onwards, everyone must surrender unconditionally, and all those involved in the war need to be judged for this, I only give them half an hour to think about it." ”

After nodding their heads to show that they understood, Keith and Andrew, who took the initiative to stand up, rode towards the castle not far away with the banners of Stormwind and Nuremberg, after all, Leo's current strength is not enough to challenge the rules of the game in this world, even if the etiquette and conversation that should exist before the war starts.

Viscount Charlotte, who was already standing on the city wall, became more and more in a bad mood as the two of them approached, because one of the knights' armor and costume was the source of the nightmare that woke up the viscount in the past few days, holding on to the last glimmer of hope, the viscount took the lead in saying to the two people who stopped under the castle, "I am Viscount Charlotte J. Orrea, the owner of O'Brien Castle, a knight from afar, please report your intentions." ”

Looking at the low walls of the castle with disdain, and the Viscount's pretended to be calm and a little pale, Keith planted the family flag representing Leo in his hand beside him, and Andrew casually bowed slightly on the mount, and said the sentence that the Viscount was most afraid to hear, "Viscount Charlotte, in view of the fact that a few days ago, together with the Duke of Orlando, you waged a dishonorable war against my master and the esteemed Lord Baron Leicester, and now, I, Keith Chang, the knight of the Knights of Stormwind Punishment, One of the deputy commanders, here to convey to you the orders of my master. ”

Waving his sword and drawing his sword, Keith pointed at the Viscount and continued in an irrefutable tone, "Castle O'Brien, including Viscount Charlotte, all the soldiers and knights who participated in the dishonorable war a few days ago, and all those who helped in this regard, must surrender unconditionally and accept the trial of my master, the Grand Duke of Storm, and the Baron of Leicester, otherwise, we will have a siege in half an hour, and there is no guarantee that the Viscount will be given the noble treatment he deserves after the war." ”

With that, after nodding again, Keith raised his banner and Andrew rode back to the camp without hesitation, leaving behind the stunned crowd at the head of the city and the pale-faced Viscount Charlotte.

"This damn bastard, despicable maggot! How dare he threaten a noble viscount like this, I swear I'm going to hang him above the city gates!! The viscount, in a fit of shame, slashed wildly at the battlements with his splendid sword, and let out a snarl of exasperation.

At the same time, seeing the return of the two Cases, under the order of Leo, all the remaining champion swordsmen stepped out neatly, the front row carried the ladders that had been urgently processed in the past few days, and the rest of the clasped shields and weapons were ready to attack before the attack, and behind the champion swordsmen, followed by Edward's Highland swordsman battalion and Storm Wings, who were ready to serve as support under the city walls.

Even the Knights of Punishment were under the order of Leo, and Finn and some of the knights jumped off the unicorns and temporarily turned into infantry, and they would rush to the castle as the first wave of arrowhead power to open up the situation, if the viscount finally decided to resist after half an hour......
