Chapter Twenty-Seven: War Is Imminent
Chapter Twenty-Seven: War Is on the Verge of Breaking Out
Baron Babu was so angry that his whole body trembled at this time, he still held his sword and did not move, gritted his teeth, and his eyes were on fire: "Viscount Mayfei, if you don't kill me today, you will pay back twice as much after the next day——"
"Your Excellency, you are not right. Now it's clear that you're pointing your sword at me, but you're still asking me if I dare to kill you?
Mei Fei stretched out a finger and tapped on the red blade, and a crisp sound immediately echoed from the transparent sword, which was definitely a murderous weapon. The young man looked at it with interest, and Mei Fei could clearly feel the unusual afterglow on the blade, a very obvious magic pattern circuit, which contained some unknown power.
Baron Babu was a lord who admired force, and the weapons in his hands were obviously not ordinary. He often fought monsters in battle in the Blackstone Fortress, so the lord's reputation for bravery was also widely spread. Gray and his Cavaliers are no match for him alone, but unfortunately this is not his home turf.
Baron Babu fell silent, and his gaze fell on the young man's face, and he looked at him without saying a word. No matter how much this nobleman in front of him is not favored by Marshal North, he is still nominally the eldest son of Marshal North. He was also a viscount personally canonized by His Majesty the Emperor and a meritorious lord of the Empire with a heroic seal, and it was impossible for Baron Babu to really do something to him in public.
In the same way, Maphi can't do that. It may not be a big problem for lords to fight with each other to settle personal grievances, but once it hurts the roots, it will inevitably cause war and chaos in the entire region, and even more and more trouble, which is not allowed by the royal family and His Majesty. Just a Baron of Babu, Mayfield may not take him seriously. The trouble is with the people behind Baron Babu.
The Earl of Nanger in the northern part of the Eastern Regions of the Empire was the supreme governor of the Denel region, and although he was still nominally a count, in fact his power in the northern part of the Eastern Regions was like a duke, and before the three generations of counts, in order to cope with the barbarian invasion on the border of the Eastern Regions, this family with a deep history began to continuously expand its private army. Today, local forces have taken full control of the entire Denel region.
Even though the royal family did not value these rural nobles and the factors that allowed them to balance the autonomous territory of the Dassault Highlanders, in this eastern region where there was no 'marshal', the power of this count was already visible.
If Mei Fei killed the marriage alliance of the Nanger family on the territory of Bishui City, it would be tantamount to provoking a dispute with the Nanger family. This is not worth it for Mei Fei, who has just arrived in the Eastern Regions.
Mayfield glanced at Baron Báb again, then turned his head and walked towards the carriage, and said, "Your Excellency Báb, you are not welcome in the city of clear water. Shall I let my knights send you out, or will you go out on your own while it is still dark?" ”
After saying that, under the resentful eyes of Baron Baron, Mayfield did not turn his head back into the carriage, and did not give the other party a chance to speak again.
Baron Babu remained silent after leaving the city, and although he rode away from the gates of the city as he had come, no one dared to stop him. Unlike before, this time he didn't have any retinue or guards around him, just alone.
Almost everyone along the way could tell at a glance that this baron was not the same as when he came. His face twisted together from excessive rage, grinding his teeth like a beast, and his eyes were exposed with a fierce light. One hand gripped his own scabbard tightly as the scabbard clicked with excessive force.
The men and horses he brought were stationed in a camp not far from Bishui City, and they had originally planned to rely on these centaurs to quell the turmoil in Bishui City.
And the reason why he brought his retinue into the city was because he had not waited for the signal agreed by Ferdinand, and he felt that the plan might have encountered some obstacles, so he brought people in to see the situation in the name of visiting the lord of the place. No one expected this to happen, so he hadn't even thought about bringing extra guards with him.
Baron Babu did not intend to give up on his actions and return home. The news of his being provoked and insulted will immediately spread to everyone in a well-known place, and if he goes back without doing anything. Then he became the laughing stock of everyone in the future, which Baron Babu could not bear.
Baron Babu plunged into the garrison, without any nonsense, and immediately began to prepare the soldiers. He brought with him an army of more than 800 people this time, which was far more than the strength that Blue Water City now had. He did this because he received the news that Wales had left the city with his garrisons, and to make sure that the plan was foolproof.
But by this time Ferdinand had lost his message, the damned viscount was still alive and well, and the plan had apparently been completely ruined. Now, if he wants to take Bishui City, then he can only attack head-on. But Baron Babu couldn't care so much anymore, he was so angry that he just wanted to find that damn viscount to take revenge. What's more, most of the garrison is not in Bishui City at the moment, which is also an opportunity.
Although he knew that it was not wise to forcibly attack the city, none of his subordinates dared to stand up against the baron. This was due to Baron Babu's usual prestige and tyrant-like manners. His men did not know what the Baron had encountered in the city of clear water, nor did they know where the retinue had gone with him.
But judging from the Baron's categorical tone and angry expression, the only possibility for him to stand up and disagree at this time is that the Baron will be directly executed and used as a death row prisoner to make a pre-war sacrifice flag.
On the other side, the knights ordered the gates to be closed after Baron Babu left the city. Immediately after returning to the lord's mansion, Mephi immediately interrogated Babu's entourage, and those who were still in a panic confessed all the men and horses that Babu had brought with him on his trip without much interrogation.
When he learned that there was an army of 800 men from Blackstone Fortress outside the city, Gray put down the interrogation and hurried over to report to the young man. At first, Mayfield suspected that Baron Babu's painstaking arrangement of operations in Blue Water City, even at the expense of arranging assassins, would not be as simple as robbing the prison. Besides, Baron Babu, as a lord of one side, can't just bring a few retinues when he visits Blue Water City...
And after Mei Fei learned the news, he immediately asked Gray to issue the highest level of vigilance in the blue water city, and at the same time, he immediately sent sentry horses and messengers to investigate the movement outside the city, and at the same time sent people to recruit the remaining garrisons outside the city.
Immediately afterwards, at the behest of the new lord, the Blue Water City Lord's Mansion issued the 'War Mobilization Order' for the first time in many years...
