May 17th, at sunset.

Nora, who had just arrived in Brenthal, read the mission description. She was wearing pure black leather armor at this time, carrying two daggers around her waist, and instead of carrying a spare weapon on her back, she had scrolls and small hedrons inserted into her strap.

Behind her were the five members of the Intelligence Service's secret service, also dressed in black. Six Teflin agents arrived in the city last night, and they quietly climbed over the wall in the middle of the night to enter the city, and after obtaining information from the intelligence department, they were now outside the Earl's Court in the center of the city.

The city of Brental is located 70 kilometres southwest of the city of Layena. It is located in the middle of nowhere, has a small population, and because it is not a strategic artery or a rich place, it is not included in the strategic offensive route of Evta. If according to the previous plan, Luo Di would not send any troops here at all, and directly strangled the fortress west of Rayena, which would be enough to deter those nobles on the east and west sides who had little combat effectiveness.

However, the strength of the territory is one thing, and after thinking about it in all aspects, Luo Di still made a special trip to let the ace agents of the intelligence department come from Suvala City, more than 300 kilometers away, because of an important person, to carry out the "Tisiphone Plan".

When the road and bridge from Donkel to Layena were completed, the unimpeded Ivta's infantry division directly dispersed the enemy troops whose morale had collapsed because they did not get food in time, and the trucks went directly to the city of Layena, from which Nora and her team, each with three horses, arrived here without stopping. Now, Nora has confirmed that Count Moore is inside the mansion.

Earl Moore never fought against Roddy, and never fought against Ivta's forces. But in Roddy's memory, this count was one of the few great nobles in the Karen Kingdom who could fight, and he could even be said to be the most capable general.

Charles II was ambitious and talented, and there were few people under his command who could be reliable in military affairs. But once there is Count Moore's help, not to mention the ability to turn defeat into victory, it is absolutely possible to create enough trouble.

Roddy knew his strategic plan was not unassailable. In fact, as Charles II judged, if he did not take the kingdom in one fell swoop, the costly logistics system would become a burden in the eyes of the eyes, and could eventually lead to a line of defense full of holes... If there is another leader like Count Moore, who can fight well, the consequences are unimaginable.

Fortunately, the Earl of Moore was abandoned by Charles II last year and is in a state of "abandonment". But Roddy doesn't guarantee that the other party will be put on hold forever, so in order to be in the best case, he must put all threats at the source.

Nora put away the map and parchment, glanced at the heavily guarded mansion in the sunset, and raised her hand to make a "forward" gesture.

Dozens of kilometers away, Layenne was captured, and the defeated army was scattered everywhere, and the Count of Moore had obviously received the news, so the guards of the mansion were now twice as many as usual. But no enemy approached the city, and the nerves of these men were not too tense.

All six Teflin are stealth masters, and they know how to stealthily do more than human thieves. The lax guards unwittingly revealed many patrol corners, so these Tevrin easily broke through the outer defenses and went directly into the interior of the mansion.

To be on the safe side, Nora also pulled out an "Anti-Reconnaissance Enchantment" scroll and led the group to continue to infiltrate the interior.

The vigilance circle in the mansion was never triggered, and the six agents entered the mansion in two ways, and the lone guards and servants were silently broken one by one. And when the two guardian knights on the second floor finally sensed that something was wrong, a series of demon-breaking crossbow arrows and the "Frost Nova" scroll thrown by Nora directly made them lose the power to resist, and they were immediately killed on the spot.

One of her teammates tried to kick open the last bedroom door, but Nora felt the violent elemental fluctuations, and she quickly pulled her companion open - the next second, a large ice pick smashed through the door on the spot, and even the wall behind it blasted a large crater.

Tevelyn, who was saved by Nora, swallowed, and before he could get up, Nora had already cast her "Acceleration" ability, rushing in between spells.

The mage holding the staff hadn't even seen the figure of this Tevelin clearly, and the huge force hit the force field shield in front of him, making a loud "bang" -

Count Moore in the room frowned, and beside him a soft-armored swordsman was about to join the fight.

Nora's hands had already drawn the scroll behind her at the same time, and the two shields lit up in front of her blocked the attacks from the mage and the swordsman respectively, but before everything could continue, Count Moore suddenly spoke: "Stop." ”

The two men who had their staff cut off and their sword flipped away by Nora with their tail had already been defeated, but Count Moore was so majestic that they immediately gave up their resistance and retreated to the rear.

Some of the other agents who followed from the rear raised their crossbows, some held weapons and scrolls—even a magus would not be able to survive such a siege. Count Moore looked at the group of people in front of him, as if he had expected it, shook his head and said, "I've been waiting, or it's His Majesty's letter... Either it's Ivta's soldiers, and now it seems that you're the better of you. ”

He turned his head to look, and the guards on the periphery of the mansion had no idea what was going on here, and were still patrolling the field of vision. This scene made him quite helpless, and turning his head, Moore looked at Nora in front of him, who was still shining with the shield, and asked, "What do you need me to do?"

"The Prime Minister said: Count Moore is a wise man and knows what he should do. ”

Nora said the sentence as it was stated in the mission. Count Moore nodded, and then knelt down on one knee without hesitation: "I... Lord Sikri, Moore Barras, is willing to break away from Leicester's royal rule and pledge allegiance to Lord Roddy, Prime Minister of Evta. ”

A once-famous earl could choose to change banners so easily, which is probably unimaginable for ordinary people. But as Roddy judged, Moore was indeed the one who judged the situation most accurately in the hostile camp.

A person who is familiar with military affairs will naturally not simply stay in the mansion and dream of death when the war is coming. Count Moore actually knew more about the front line in more detail than Charles II, and because of this, he knew better than Charles II the horror of Roddy's army.

Because both sides, whether in terms of combat effectiveness or logistical capabilities, have opened up the "generation gap" from the first day of the outbreak of the war. The difference of one time is enough to decide the victory or defeat, and the difference of ten times and twenty times is not necessary to fight at all - the only chance that the royal family has to win is only because of the calculation of the dragon family.

But Earl Moore never believed that the dragons would help the royal family for no reason. If the other party really did this, the consequences would make him feel even more frightened...

In this era, there are not so many nobles who sacrifice their lives for the so-called glory, and Count Moore is also an egoist - he is smart, and not stupid, in the face of the current situation, he has left a chance for Charles II in his heart, but unfortunately the news of the other party is too late, and this road is directly cut off by Nora and others who came in advance.

Now, he will naturally make choices that are in his own interests.

Nora was not in the least interested in Count Moore's inner thoughts, her philosophy was simple: completing the task was first, and everything else was secondary.

According to the mission instructions, she took out the metal wolf head emblem inserted on the letter paper and placed it directly in the other party's hand: "Please remember your oath, Lord Moore. ”

On that day, the city of Brenthal planted the wolf's head banner of Ivta. And four hours after the change of flag, the messenger with a letter from Charles II had just arrived...

But it's too late.

May 18th. The south bank of the Bordeaux River.

Viscount Boragon staggered and almost fell to his knees.

Hunger made his stomach seem to catch fire, and the world in front of him was black and white for a while, but as soon as the hand holding the shovel stopped, the overseer in leather armor next to him would whip the whip mercilessly...

He was taken out of the prisoner-of-war camp this morning to take part in the construction of the road. Originally, he expected more than 15,000 troops to be supplied and regrouped, who would have thought that the cities of Layena and Becolis would really fall, this kind of blow directly collapsed the morale of the lords, and coupled with the arrival of the pursuers in the rear, so many people ran and surrendered without even fighting.

He still can't figure out the reason for this failure.

But now, he didn't have the strength to think about it anymore.

His subordinates have been completely dispersed, and none of the prisoners of war who are working together around him know him. Everyone hadn't eaten much for two days because they had been hungry, and now they didn't even have the strength to communicate, and they were barely moving like zombies, and Boragon felt that if he didn't eat again, he might starve to death here.

The dignified Viscount didn't even pay attention to his voice asking for ransom, he really didn't understand what the Evta army was trying to do.

Fortunately, in a few minutes, the overseer finally shouted, "Take your tools! Stand in line!

Hearing the word "food", many people frantically surrounded them like hungry wolves, and the result was that four or five overseers "crackled" and smoked, and the soldiers next to them directly smashed with sheathed swords, and in the wailing, people barely learned to maintain order.

Boragon didn't go to grab it, he had a brain, and when he saw that he had to eat only when he was obediently queuing, he honestly followed the back of the line. Because of this, he was able to quickly receive two loaves of bread and a simple leather hydration bag, which Boragon had not expected at all, because the hydration bag was of a decent quality, apparently brought with him by some knight or servant on the battlefield.
