The next day at noon.

The Duke of Fischer stood at the window of his study on the third floor, looking down at his castle.

After half a day and a night of repairs, most of the damage caused by yesterday's battle has been repaired, and even the city gate that was blown down by spells has been restored by the wizards of Wezeland, except for some traces of new construction, it is no different from before.

Castles can be restored, but the dead cannot be resurrected.

Duke Fischer looked sad, his gaze swept over the centaurs standing guard in various parts of the castle, and beyond the walls, he looked across the ravines outside the Rushing Castle, where a series of tents had set up a simple camp.

More centaurs trained as they galloped through the wide camp, shouting mixed with the sound of horses' hooves, distracting the inhabitants of the castle and nearby towns, who had not been able to rest well all night.

However, it was not the centaurs who attracted the Duke of Fisher the most, but the knights who rode bronze pegases.

And the extraordinary warriors in the blue armor.

Their number is not much, the total number is less than two hundred, but the combat effectiveness displayed is still difficult for Duke Fischer to forget, last night overnight from the city of Balosk found a few mercenaries familiar with the empire, after asking, I learned that these two extraordinary legions are the private army of the Count of Glamorgan.

One is called the Extreme Warband, they are not humans, but barbarians from the Saine Plateau, who have risen like comets in the past two years, and have a great reputation even in the Empire.

The other is the Knights of the Spear Wing.

They are not as illustrious or powerful as the Extreme Warbands, but they have a unique way of fighting far beyond any of the Congatro Legions.

The soul spear weapons used by the two legions are all from the hands of the Earl of Glamorgan, which has attracted countless snoops, but he has the floating city of Wizeland behind him, so he can keep the secret of soul gun manufacturing.

"The Earl of Glamorgan......"

Duke Fischer had a complicated gaze.

After understanding, he realized what kind of opponent he had encountered, this young man's experience was magical, he was born as a commoner, worshiped under the Holy Soul Wizard, was promoted to a legendary wizard within two years, entered the Council of Six in Wezeland, and a series of legendary deeds, as if he was a hero who came out of an epic.

Last night, when the extraordinary mercenaries from the Empire mentioned Earl Glamorgan, their eyebrows fluttered, and their faces were full of adoration.

The last Dragonborn actually got in touch with such a legendary figure and came to Congatro with the wizarding group, and the cold kingdom was not destined to be peaceful.

Unsurprisingly, the relationship between the Earl of Glamorgan and Her Royal Highness Emilys goes far beyond cooperation.

The guards in the castle reported that the two had lived in the same bedroom last night and made no secret of their intimacy.

"He is the key to the return of the Dragonborn!"

Duke Fischer cleared his mind, but his mood was complicated.

The stronger and greater the strength of this Earl of Glamorgan, the higher the possibility of the restoration of the Trogonburg dynasty, as the first Fisher family to swear allegiance, sitting on the dragon's merits, in the future, the dragonborn will be able to regain the throne, and they will be able to get more benefits.

However, the unwillingness and resentment in his heart could not be erased.

Duke Fischer returned to his desk and picked up a briefing, a list of losses from the battle at Rushke, the most striking of which was the number of dead and wounded of the sturgeon warriors.

One hundred and twenty people were slightly injured, forty-five were seriously injured, and the death toll was close to three hundred!

Duke Fischer closed his eyes in pain, the sturgeon warriors of the entire Riverbend Legion were only more than 1,300 people, and the losses were more than 300 at a time, and since the creation of the legion, there had never been such heavy casualties.

The training of each sturgeon warrior is extremely difficult, and the family has invested a lot of resources and energy.

Duke Fischer could name any sturgeon warrior, know their families, even remember their parents and wives, teach them by hand, watch them grow up, and now they are more than 300 broken corpses, which makes his heart bleed in retrospect.

In addition to the sturgeon warriors, the Riverbend Legion also has 1,500 transcendental people, who have also invested a lot of effort, and their losses are even greater, with a total of more than 700 casualties!

In less than a quarter of an hour of fighting, the Fisher family's strength was weakened by three percent.

Not to mention the ransom of five million gold dragons.

If the murderer of all this is a family of Congartro, Duke Fischer will fight the enemy endlessly, seek satisfaction for temporary grievances, and also avenge this blood revenge.

However, the other side is from the Empire.

Their power is so great that they are desperately strong, and if they become enemies of them, or take advantage of the opportunity to turn against them in future wars, the end will only be worse than the present.

Tuk tuk!

There was a knock on the door of the study, and the Duke of Fischer took a few deep breaths to calm his emotions and return to a calm and majestic expression before speaking.

"Come in. ”

It was his adopted son, Berissy, who entered the door.

He escaped from the castle through the underwater secret passage with the descendants of his family during yesterday's battle, but was intercepted by the wizards, and the entire river was frozen, and he did not succeed.

"Your Excellency. "Belisi's figure was as slender and well-proportioned as all the sturgeon warriors, and he was very handsome, with gray-green eyes, a small mustache on his chin, and a few gray hairs in his dark hair, and he was already middle-aged.

He glanced at Duke Fischer quietly and swept the briefing on the table.

The contents of this report have also been read by Belisi, although the Duke's demeanor is calm, but as one of the Duke's closest people, he knows very well that the Duke's mood at this time is by no means as calm as it seems.

He stopped talking, a hint of sadness on his face.

"What is the matter, Berissi?" asked the Duke of Fischer as he sat still, frowning slightly.

"My lord," Berissy wiped his eyes lightly to hide his gaffe, "the lords are almost here, and the ceremony in the White River Hall is also arranged, and it is ready to begin." ”

"Well, thank you. Duke Fischer nodded.

He knew that Belisi had not rested since yesterday, this adopted son's strength was not outstanding, he had several times more resources than other sturgeon warriors, and he had his own personal guidance, and he had only barely entered the high level after more than thirty years of cultivation, and he could no longer advance an inch.

However, Berissey is quick-witted, reliable, and has more intelligence than ordinary people, so he usually likes to take it with him, and he has a lot of things to do.

Sometimes, the Duke of Fischer even had the idea of regret, if only Berrisi were his own son.

"What about Her Highness Emilys and the Speakers?" asked Duke Fischer.

"All resting in the castle. Besili's eyes flashed, and he asked in a low voice, "My lord, will you go and inform them of the ceremony now?"

Duke Fischer looked at the wall clock on the wall, "Wait another hour." ”

Belicie turned and retired.

When he was about to exit the door, Duke Fisher suddenly stopped him, was silent for a few breaths, and asked in a low voice: "Do you think the restoration of the Zogenburg Dynasty will be more beneficial or disadvantageous to the Fisher family?"

When Berrisi returned to his desk, he saw the casualty briefing again.

He pondered for a moment before replying: "Lord Duke, we border the territory of the Lauberdir family, there have been disputes for thousands of years, and in general, the Fisher family is at a disadvantage, and when Marc usurped the Iron Throne, it was even more unfavorable to us, and we were suppressed everywhere, so we formed an alliance with Duke Danse and stood opposite Mark. ”

"My lord, our territory, population, and army are not as good as the Lauberdir family, which was the pattern set when the seven great families divided the Congatro. U9 eBook

"This order has been maintained until now, and if it cannot be broken, it is impossible for the Fisher family to turn over. ”

At the end, Berisi's voice gradually rose a little, "The Lauberdier family is our number one enemy, and they are our biggest threat!"

"The immediate loss is temporary, and the Dragonborn Restoration War will bring great chaos to Congartro and is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. ”

Berrissi looked Duke Fischer in the eye, paused, and said slowly, "Chaos is a ladder, it allows us to climb to a higher position. ”

The Duke of Fischer fell silent and did not respond for a long time.

Berissi saluted respectfully and stepped back.

An hour later, the Duke of Fischer walked out of the study. He changed into a solemn and luxurious attire, with a sword at his waist, a fish-shaped badge pinned to his chest, and his gray hair neatly combed, and entered the White River Hall surrounded by sturgeon warriors.

"Your Excellency. ”

"I've seen Your Excellency the Duke!"

There were already a number of lords gathered in the hall, they were all vassals of the Fisher family, and they rushed to the Rushing Castle with their guards, and heard about the drastic changes in the castle on the way.

The Dragonborn return, Rusheb falls, and the Duke of Fischer swears allegiance......

This flurry of news shocked the lords, and some doubted the truth of the story, until they arrived at Rushing Fort and saw thousands of centaurs outside, and the residents of Balosk City were also spreading the news of the Dragonborn.

They were summoned to the White River Hall, where they found that it had also been overrun by a group of tall warriors in blue armor.

The aura of these transcendent warriors is terrifying.

They did not restrict the lord's movements, nor did they show hostility, but the lords were sitting on pins and needles, and the guards around them also stood honestly, not daring to speak at will.

It wasn't until Duke Fischer appeared that the lords felt a little relieved, as if they had found the backbone of the lord, and everyone had countless things to ask their lord.

"Sit down. ”

Duke Fischer walked up the steps at the foot of the statue of Oshenna, but did not sit on the high-backed chair that represented the status of the duke, as he usually did.

He stood on the edge of his chair and looked around at his vassals.

"What you have heard is true, I have decided to renew my allegiance to the Trogonburg family and fully support Her Highness Emilys in her crusade against Marc and reclaim the Iron Throne. Duke Fischer said in a loud voice.

Even if they had been mentally prepared, hearing Duke Fischer admit it himself, the lords were still in an uproar.

Duke Fischer raised his hand to silence him, "My vassals, you are all obliged to send troops to join the crusade against the usurper. ”

"Who is for and who is against?"

Duke Fischer swept over the lords, and as expected, someone had evasive eyes and a look of hesitation on his face, unable to make such a momentous decision.

Some lords immediately stood up to express their loyalty, half-knelt down, and shouted, "The Barecon family swears to follow the Duke to the death." ”

"The Dari family has sworn to follow the Duke to the death. ”

"The Malisdean Family ......"

Several lords in a row expressed their attitudes, and the momentum was like a rainbow, so that the remaining vassal families were forced into a corner, and they sensed the attitude of the Duke of Fischer, and knew that there was no room for discussion, so they could only follow the oath.

"Good!"

Duke Fischer nodded with satisfaction, a look of relief.

He quietly swept over the Ultramarines standing around the hall, forcing the vassals to send an army to follow, not only to fulfill the conditions promised yesterday, but also to show the Count of Glamorgan, so that Count Glamorgan could see his sincerity.

There are several legends among these Ultramarines, who will definitely tell their lord what is happening in the White River Hall.

Suddenly, the Duke of Fischer discovered something.

His vassals did not arrive.

"Where's Viscount Waldfry?" the Duke of Fischer looked at Berissi, who was in charge of the matter.

"My lord, Viscount Waldfrye must be late. Berissi hurriedly replied that this viscount's fief was Cold River City, located on the eastern side of the duchy on the border with the territory of the Lauberdir family, the farthest away from Baloske, and ranked among the top three in strength among all vassals.

Duke Fischer frowned, no matter how far away it was, it was not more than three hundred miles, and it was definitely more than enough for a transcendent to reach Rushing Castle in one day and one night.

"I gave him a quarter of an hour. ”

Berissi hurriedly sent someone out to inquire, and within a quarter of an hour, a sturgeon warrior hurriedly came in and whispered that Viscount Waldfrye had refused the duke's summoning order.

Duke Fisher's face turned ugly.

Cold River City has always had an unclear relationship with the Lauberdier family, but he didn't expect to betray Rushing Fort at the most critical time.

"Father......" the duke's eldest son, Admus, asked cautiously, "Do you want to wait a little longer, maybe there will be a turnaround." ”

"No need, let's start the ritual. Duke Fischer waved.

The bell tower of the Rushing Fort was struck, and the bell rang through the city of Baloske, and the bell towers rang one after another, causing all the inhabitants to look up at the castle.

In a solemn atmosphere, Emilys entered the Rushing Fort through the main entrance, followed by Wren and the other three Speakers of Wezeland, as well as the four dragons and a group of men. Under the curious gaze of the lords, she walked into the White River Hall to the foot of the idol, stepped up the steps, and sat down on the high-backed chair.

The Duke of Fischer took the lead in a half-kneeling salute, and was about to speak, when he heard Wren, who was standing beside Emilys, preemptively ask:

"Lord Duke, is there no one here?"

Duke Fisher's heart was slightly cold, and sure enough, what happened in the White River Hall could not hide from this legendary wizard, so he replied truthfully: "Viscount Waldfrye of Cold River City has betrayed, please rest assured, within three days, I will definitely give an explanation to His Highness." ”

"Why wait three days?"

Wren's words surprised Duke Fischer, and as soon as he looked up, he saw Wren flash into the middle of the hall, raising his left palm that flashed blue.

At the same time, the extreme warriors standing around the hall gathered over, and the ground trembled slightly with the sound of heavy footsteps.

A minute later, a tall portal opened.

The people saw the scene on the other side of the portal, and a noble lord recognized it and exclaimed, "Cold River City!"

Immediately, two teams of Ultramarines rushed through the portal.

"Dada......"

Dense gunfire came back from the portal, and the battle was fierce, and there were screams of many people before they died. The portal was soon closed, but Duke Fischer and the vassal lords knew that a carnage was taking place in Cold River City.

Needles could be heard in the White River Hall, and the lords trembled as they waited for the slaughter to end, three hundred miles away.
