Leon marched towards the White Mist City with a team of one hundred and fifty archers.

According to the plan, several surrounding territories gathered together to form a northwest coalition army, and after converging, they advanced towards the eastern region and surrounded the bandit army in the middle.

"Oh, Leon, you just bring such a few people, are you treating the coalition bandits as a game? Albert led the team to the meeting point first, and he suffered several losses from Leon, especially the last defeat of the thousand-man team, which irrevocably affected the reputation of White Mist City.

"Of course, these people who deal with you are still enough. Leon smiled slightly, there is no possibility for everyone to talk about peace, since the other party wants to find fault, then come.

"Be careful, the strength of White Mist City is not something you can provoke. Albert warns that in the whole of the North, it is Elspool and Hampshire who deserve their respect, and that Ravenwood is the lowest power, almost able to crush it.

"Why do I remember that White Mist City kept provoking? By the way, I'm already a marquis, and your previous rhetoric no longer works, and it's impossible to get any more benefits from me. ”

Not long after Leon set out, the Northern Guardian received a letter that his title had been elevated, and White Mist no longer had the power to collect territorial taxes from the town.

"Marquis only. Albert said disdainfully, there were too many marquis in the north, and they were all inconspicuous fellows.

"There is an earl in White Mist City, but what about the others? there was no figure during the spring hunt, no figure during the invasion of Ravenwood, and there was still no figure in the Northern Alliance, so it shouldn't be that you will seize power." Leon said slowly, word by word, a lot of things happened between the town and White Mist City, but Payne, the person behind the scenes, never appeared, which made him a little puzzled.

"Watch your words. Albert warned again.

"You're not even a lord, talk to me and watch your words. Leon patted the dust off his body and said casually.

At this time, Fury hurried in with a team of seven hundred men, he was still dressed in black, and he was very conspicuous in the army.

"Lyon. Fury nodded slightly, now that the two sides were partners, the opening of trade routes had cemented his position in Herrimshire, and the nobles who had been noisy before were now busy with ore trading and had no time to make trouble.

Leon nodded in response, and finally someone could communicate normally.

They chatted on the sidelines, leaving Albert aside.

Not long after, two other lords arrived, and the five of them converged, leading an army of three thousand five hundred men to the east.

"So, you're a Marquis now?" Fury learned the news in a casual chat.

"Yes. "Leon doesn't want to raise the title, at least wait for two more territories to be acquired, and the number of people in the town will be relatively stable in the future, which will limit development in disguise.

"Looks like you had a plan, no wonder Ken spent so much money at Ravenwood. Fury had visited the town earlier and advised him to keep his money instead of spending it on construction.

"It was purely accidental. "The Guardian of the North did not expect him, and there is no way to do it.

"Was it really an accident?" Fury said thoughtfully.

Leon didn't want to say more, the promotion was already a fact, and there was no point in talking about it, so he should focus on the present and exterminate the robbers as soon as possible.

The spies at the front are back.

According to the news from the front, a group of 2,000 robbers had just finished plundering the town of Langele and quickly headed south.

"Immediately pursue to the south. Albert made a decision that the robbers, who were only 2,000 men, could be wiped out in half an hour.

"Wait, we should keep pushing east. Leon stepped up to stop it.

"What do you mean, the purpose of the coalition army is to suppress the bandits, not to chase them south, but to the east, what do you want to do. Albert roared loudly, White Mist City sent the most troops this time, so everything should be decided by White Mist City.

"The spies made it clear that the robbers had plundered the town of Langele, and that they had already gained a great harvest, and would they continue to plunder the south? Leon explained his reasons to the crowd.

Judging from this area, the town of Langele has been robbed, and there is a small town to the east of it that is still calm for the time being, according to the style of the bandits, they will clear the entire area one by one, and defend the town before the robbers act, at least half of the robbers can be killed.

"That's right, we're going to destroy the robbers' den. Albert straightened his chest, if the destruction was successful, he would be the first person in the north, and the reputation he got could be imagined.

"How to destroy it? Do you know the exact location of the robbers' den? Can our men destroy it quickly? Rushing over now will only cause a stalemate between the two sides, and the robbers will have enough time to escape, which is contrary to our purpose. Lyons once again vetoed Albert's unwise decision.

Albert's face was not good-looking, why did he let the lord with a hundred and fifty archers give the order: "Can you guarantee that you will gain by staying in the north? It is likely that they will go directly to the south next time and abandon this area." ”

"So let you know more about the military and not think about getting into trouble with Ravenwood. Leon sarcastically said.

The bandits are nominally united as bandits, but they still have a clear division of influence, and according to the current information, they are divided into five forces, and Lyon is one of them.

This group should be the weakest, and the area that can be divided in the north is also the smallest, and in the case of limited resources, the bandits will give up any place that can be plundered?

If they go south, they will encounter two problems.

First, there was a strong town in the south, and they didn't dare to provoke it at will, so they could only take a detour to the south, and second, they knew that the north had begun to unite to suppress bandits, and after plundering enough resources, they should evacuate from the north or settle down in the local area under a different identity, so it would be difficult to risk returning to the north for a little profit.

"I agree to continue to push east. "Fury stood up for Leon at a critical moment, and now it is an army of five lords, and Leon is the weakest, and if there is no one to support him, the other two lords will undoubtedly fall to Albert.

"I propose to pursue it south, who do you support?" Albert fixed his gaze on the other two, whose opinions would determine the direction of the army.

Before they could speak, Leon added: "If the robbers go south, we can take the opportunity to seize the robbers' dens." ”

Hearing that there was something to be gained, the two lords silently supported Leon's decision.

Albert was disgruntled, but the coalition had been formed, and he had to obey or his reputation in the north would plummet.

The group hastened on their way, preparing around the town before dark for the robbers to arrive.
