"What?" said Viscount Tours, in a not-so-ornate castle in that town, with a look of disbelief after listening to his men's report.

"You...... Say it again......" He shuddered and gripped the armrests of his chair tightly with both hands.

"Knight Wood, captured by the enemy. Captain Thieu knelt on the ground and said with difficulty, his heart was now full of fear, even the mighty Wood Knight had been captured by the enemy, would his own people survive the next battle?

Viscount Tours first collapsed on his seat, his face pale, after Knight Hodge went out on a mission and lost contact, Knight Wood was the last guarantee of his safety, but now......

"What to do? what to do?" and then he staggered to his feet and walked up and down the hall, his face full of unease, he had been worried since the loss of contact with Knight Hodge, and had recently inquired about the situation in Jason's territory, worried that he would suddenly come for his own trouble.

Although he thinks that Hodge Knight will not betray him, but everything has accidents, and Jason at this time is no longer an existence that he can shake.

It's hard to imagine that a territory that has only been in business for a few months will have such a huge change, and what makes him even more shocked is that his subordinates actually have masters who can defeat Hodge Knights, it seems that there are still forces within the royal family that support him.

He now regrets his decision.

"Quick! send someone to Dea, inform Lord Walter, and ask him to come and rescue me!" he remembered his backer, like a drowning man grasping at the last straw.

Count Walter Deai, one of the few great nobles in the North, with 6,000 elite soldiers at his disposal, was a huge stumbling block in Jason's plan to control the North.

"Yes!" Tyre nodded in agreement, and then left in a hurry, at this time only those nobles in the big city could save their own lords, but I don't know how much it will cost to invite this Lord Walter this time.

"Hope...... It's still too late to ......" Viscount Tours slumped in his chair, his eyes blank and muttered to himself, there were still days to go from here to Deail, and he didn't know if he would be able to make it to that day.

............

"The soldier who told the news was released?" asked Viscount Lyon, who saw his men hurrying towards him in the distance, before he could speak.

"Yes, sir, there are ten of them. The knight replied respectfully.

"Looks like they're following our script. Viscount Leon exhaled, the first step had already been taken, and he didn't know if Lord Jason's side could handle the next plan.

"Where are they going?"

"South. ”

"South?"

Viscount Leon frowned and knocked on the arm of his chair, those nobles in the south are all neutral camps, and there shouldn't be anyone to help Viscount Tours.

"Could it be Count Walter Deai? Longat asked softly, although these nobles in the south were all neutral camps, but this Count Walter Deai had been uneasy in recent years, and he had done a lot of things like embezzling the ore veins of the nearby minor lords and plundering the population.

"That's supposed to be him. Viscount Lyon's face was solemn, except for the garrisons in those big cities, a big nobleman like Count Deai was the most difficult to deal with, with both military power and resources in his hands.

"Do you want to inform the Marquis of this?" asked Longat.

"Well, I will write a letter at once, and I will be sure to hand it into the hands of the Marquis. Viscount Lyon immediately turned to take his pen.

............

"The man behind him is indeed the Count of Deay. Jason looked at the secret letter that had just been delivered to him and was amazed.

This Count Dee has been jumping up and down in recent years, but he hasn't seen anyone in the upper echelons of the kingdom come to criticize him, which shows that the power behind him is not small in the kingdom.

"Lord Lancelot is as good as a god. Ronnat replied that Lancelot had long ago analyzed that Viscount Tours' patron was the Count of Deey.

"Now we have to make them suffer a big loss. ”

Jason smiled sinisterly, and he had a lot of confidence in Lancelot.

............

It was only two days later that the Viscount of Lyon arrived outside the town with his army and forced the Viscount of Tours to negotiate.

"Viscount Leon, are you doing this too much? "Viscount Tours, who was standing on the wall, was wearing a set of noble armor and yelled at Viscount Lyon outside with an ugly face.

"Is there one?" said Viscount Leon, spreading his hands and showing his innocence, "I don't think my previous behavior was very inferior." ”

Finding an innocuous way to start a war from the beginning, this is originally a routine that nobles like to play, and he just listened to Jason's words and changed this routine, so it can't be called a subordinate, right?

"What do you want?" Viscount Tours was speechless for a while, and Viscount Leon's attitude was obvious, I just don't like you, and I'm going to bully you, what can you do?

Viscount Lyon smiled silently, but a loud voice reached Viscount Tours's ears.

"All!"

Immediately after that, a knight on a war horse came out from the back of the formation, and it was none other than Gareth.

"Your master didn't speak, so you interjected!" said Viscount Tours, pointing angrily at him, feeling that he had been greatly insulted.

"Population, money, veins, defenders...... We'll all take over, and you ......" Gareth ignored him, but said to himself, and finally raised his head to look at Viscount Tours: "Just stay here and retire." ”

“......”

This is the rhythm of annexing his own territory! Viscount Tours felt a chill rush to his head, and he couldn't help but shiver.

"Impossible!" Viscount Tours replied in a deep voice: "I will go to the Council of Nobles of the Kingdom to sue you for embezzling my territory and property!"

"Hmph, Viscount Tours instructed his Hodge knights to rob the civilians of the Iron Fangs, intending to attack and kill the second prince of the kingdom, Marquis Jason Lopez, the evidence is conclusive, the crime is unforgivable, the order is unforgivable!"

Gareth snorted coldly when he heard this, and instead of arguing with him, he beckoned, and immediately a subordinate behind him pushed out a person who was tied up, and when he looked closely, it turned out to be a Hodge knight under Viscount Tours.

At this time, although the Knight Hodge was still neat and tidy, he was in a state of limbo, and after looking up at the Viscount of Turce in the distance, his lips moved, but he didn't say anything, and lowered his head deeply again.

"Viscount Tours, do you recognize him?" said Gareth, with a dangerous glint in his eyes.

Viscount Tours was pale, and when Gareth said that long and pushed Knight Hodge out, he knew that he was absolutely finished, and even if he could survive this attack, someone would definitely use this incident to attack him in the future, and attacking and killing the prince was a great crime.

As for why they brought in Viscount Leon, they were just trying to find a reason that would allow them to intervene in Jason's plan.

"If you can tell me what you're behind it, maybe I can spare your life. Gareth laughed cruelly, he wanted to live? Yes, but he could only be a puppet for life.

"I don't know him!" said Viscount Tours, gritting his teeth, looking at Knight Hodge with anger in his eyes, this guy actually betrayed me!

"Really?" Gareth sneered, really not crying when he saw the coffin.

"Either surrender, or I'll break through your gates myself, take your pick. Gareth burst into flames, clenching the spear in his hand and muttering.

"Archer, release the arrows!" Viscount Tours replied to Gareth's own choice with action.

"The knight covers the retreat of Viscount Leon, and the rest of the soldiers will be killed with me!"
