But this answer is sufficient.

"Yes, the gods are watching us from heaven. The Duke nodded with satisfaction, "The Duchy of Savoy has openly ignored the Emperor's decree and brazenly sent troops to capture the Red River Territory, which has violated the Imperial Code to as many as thirteen laws!

"The gods are above!" the lords said at the same time.

This made the thin little old man on the side, Marquis Rader Forani, even more embarrassed.

The Duke stretched out his hand in satisfaction to signal everyone in front of him to be quiet, and then he snapped his fingers, and several attendants hurriedly spread out a map behind him.

"Then the specific arrangement of the army will be explained by my son Hunian. ”

At this moment, the eldest son of the duke, who was not very close, stepped forward, took off his gloves and began to point to the map.

"We have agreed with Savoy to fight tomorrow morning, in the valley of the mountain in front of us. ”

Almost everyone nodded, and although it was between two mountains, the terrain was wide enough for heavy cavalry charges, making it an ideal battlefield.

"Your Excellency Aisan, tomorrow you will lead your men to be deployed on the left flank of the battlefield, is there any problem?"

Earl Owen Aisan - a middle-aged, bearded knight and seven or eight lords behind him nodded at the same time, indicating that there was no problem.

"Are those his people?" Stannis looked at Robert curiously, he didn't know that the count also had vassals under him, because he didn't.

"Of course there is, there are at least five or more vassals under an earl, otherwise what's the difference between them and beggars?" halfway through his words, he consciously lost his words, "I didn't mean you, boss, don't get me wrong!"

Of course, Stannis didn't take it to heart, he just deducted the radish next month's pocket money in his heart, "Then why am I miserable, there is only one knight under my hand, Korodov?"

Robert shrugged, "Have you forgotten? Actually, you still have two knights, but they don't exist." ”

What does this mean? What does it mean to not exist? As their vassals, they have not come to see them for a month, do they want to rebel!?

Before he could ask any more, a familiar surname sounded, "Frog, you and my brother Louis will deploy the men and horses brought to the left flank." ”

Hunian said to the front right.

Isn't that his father-in-law! Stannis immediately felt his hairs stand on end, he didn't expect him to come!

He peeked ahead, but didn't spot the iconic reflective bald head in the front row. What was the situation with the guy who was called 'Sir Frode' who seemed to be a young man?

"Who is this guy? a distant relative of my father-in-law?"

"You don't even know this, he's the husband of the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Flode, Sir Clumbus Froed!"

Oh, it turned out to be his brother-in-law, "but why did he change his surname?"

"Is this kind of little aristocrat, joining this kind of big family will definitely be deprived of your surname, plus your father-in-law is so strong, boss, I'm worried that you won't even be able to recognize your ancestors if you marry into his family!" Robert looked a little ill-willed.

When is it, and you are still joking with yourself. Stannis decided to deduct the gloating guy's pocket money for the next month.

"The rest of the people and I are in the middle army, do you have no opinion?" asked Hunian again after he finished deploying.

"No!" replied again except Stannis.

"Well, please lead your men to rest today!" said Hunian and retreated behind his father.

The Duke stood up, and Sean Bin next to him also stood up, and it looked like they were leaving.

But at this time, a man stepped forward to stop them.

"I'm sorry, but I have a question for both of you. A middle-aged man with silver hair said with a smile.

Stannis was surprised to find that it was the Marquis of Worf, and it turned out that the people of the White Wolf family had also arrived.

"What's the matter? Duke Garcia asked politely.

The 'Head Wolf' still smiled and leaked his fangs, "I wonder who I'm fighting for this time?"

As soon as these words came out, the originally noisy tent instantly fell silent.

"How...... What's wrong......" Only Stannis doesn't know so.

Roberta tugged at his sleeve and motioned for him not to make a noise on such an occasion.

Duke Garcia didn't seem to expect this person to ask such a question so bluntly, and things like this are usually done under the table, and everyone knows it.

"Ahem, of course we are here to do justice for the abbot of the Marquis de Forani, and we can't watch Savoy bully. The duke did not move.

Sir Wolf seemed to have known what he was saying, "Well, a matter of forcible occupation like this should be settled by His Majesty the Emperor himself, and his army stationed here is only a hundred miles away, and besides, His Excellency the Special Envoy Sean Bin, who represents the will of His Majesty the Emperor, is by your side, so I wonder why we need to send troops?"

Yes, Stannis had already thought of this question, of course this kind of for the sake of the abbot's justice was a joke, but why did he spend money and food to take these guys out and trek here to work hard for others? Needless to say, there is no benefit.

It seems that there are no longer a few people who think this way, and some people nod their heads to agree.

"Boss, your enemy is really too bad for the duke, although everyone knows that he has a little conflict with the duke, but it is really unwise to be tough on such an occasion. Robert whispered in his ear.

No. Stannis knew that an emerging power like the Marquis of Wolf was waiting for this occasion, and all the lords were gathered here, and there was no better time to show their muscles, and let the wavering small and medium-sized lords think about which side to stand.

Duke Garcia didn't speak, he knew that the best response was to keep things the same, and to see how many people were disgruntled with him.

"In short, if this battle is won, of course Your Excellency Forani will be grateful to you for your allegiance to you, and if you lose, you, as the Elector, will not suffer anything, and no one will dare to touch you. It's just that our hard-working little people can only empty food and salary, there is no benefit in winning, and even the territory will be deprived if we lose, so I really can't find a reason to fight, of course, if the gods say to fight, then I will definitely not dare to slack off, but ...... Have the gods decreed?"

Stannis covered his hands as much as possible not to laugh, and it seems that the people of the fantasy world also treat the gods as shows.

"What do you want? ”

Sure enough, at first glance, he was a veteran of the political scene, and Duke Garcia went around the problem and changed it to Wolf, letting him pick it out for himself.

"I have fulfilled my duty as your vassal, leading a thousand soldiers of my clan to answer your call to this place. However, I will not let my people shed their blood for the sake of other families. After saying that, Old Wolf also glanced at the trembling Red River Lord defiantly.

"And then?" asked the Duke, still quietly.

Wolf made an apology salute and said solemnly: "I'm sorry, I'm going to lead my people back to the territory and no longer participate in this battle." ”

As soon as this statement came out, there was an uproar, and all the lords did not expect him to say such a thing, because it meant that he would give up his oath to Duke Tanis, and everyone knew what would happen next.

The Duke groaned, not speaking immediately.

"Anyone else thinks the same thing as Lord Wolf, and wants to bring someone back?" he said to everyone.

Silent.

Stannis also wanted to stand up and say that he wanted to take his little man back, but Robert held him to prevent him from dying.

The Duke sighed, "Well, Your Excellency Wolf, since you want to leave, I will not stop you, I only hope that in the future, we will not become enemies on the battlefield." ”

The Marquis of Wolf did not speak again, he strode away from the tent with his sword in hand.

At this time, everyone present felt that a huge dark cloud hung over the battlefield, and the outcome of the battle tomorrow did not look promising.
