After the carnival, the village of Zegasi was very quiet, and the soldiers in the chaotic square lay around the campfire, and they slept like this, and from time to time one or two soldiers would wake up to find a place to urinate, and the soldiers who were woken up would curse a few dirty words and then turn around and go back to sleep.

The office building in Zegasi Village is the only stone building that has survived the destruction of the goblins. Gray, Thor, and Mark didn't drink much, and the three of them sat on comfortable couches in the hall.

The fire was burning vigorously, making the otherwise chilly night warm, and Mark took out a bottle of red wine and poured a glass for everyone, the crimson color of the red wine made Gray a little sick to his stomach.

Gray put down his glass and asked, "Didn't you say that the territory was in trouble? What kind of trouble is it, is the Earl in the castle now?"

Mark obviously likes red wine, he glanced at Gray and then stared at Saul: "By your unfortunate words, Viscount Donna attacked us, and Herien led the town of Northwest Vida, Meiga, and Eldar to all fall!"

Gray was shocked, these are the three most important towns in the northwest of the Herion Territory, each town has very complete defense facilities, complete military supplies, and each town only needs a few hundred people, it can completely hold thousands of people to attack for half a month!

This Donna is the lord of the Harrens Territory, which is connected to the Herion Territory, and both occupy a large area of the Red Rain Forest.

Thor was also surprised: "How can it be so fast?"

"I don't know, it's still investigating! I think there will be results soon!" Mark said in a deep voice.

"Lord Earl is fine, is it?" asked Thor quickly.

Mark's face was a little heavy: "Not long after you left, the Count was ambushed on the way back to the castle!

Gray frowned, "Huh?" Not to mention how these two light cavalry squadrons passed through such a large area of Herian's territory without being discovered, but only two squadrons of light cavalry came to send them to death?

"Is there anything wrong with the Earl?" asked Thor again.

Gray glanced at Thor, then looked at Mark, "If something happens to the Earl, Mark can be canonized as a knight?"

Thor was stunned for a moment and reacted, and then asked, "What's the situation?"

"The five squadrons of cavalry led by Taylor were easily dealt with, and even the hoplite cavalry regiment that had been arranged in the shadows in advance was not dispatched!" Mark replied.

"If they can send two squadrons of cavalry to ambush the Count on his way back to the city, why don't they send more troops over, isn't this a death sentence?

Saul said, "That's why I want to kill Garnard, do you think I really set up such a big game to kill him just because he was unhappy?

Gray was already completely shocked, "How so?"

Thor tha's signature smile resurfaced: "If the benefits are sufficient, it can make people break his oath!

Thor took a sip of red wine after speaking: "I guess Lord Earl shouldn't believe that Canard would betray him, so I can only do this!"

In the Alan Continent, betraying the lord who swore allegiance to him is a very serious matter, ordinary people will not do such a thing, even if they succeed in unimaginable success, they will be saddled with the infamy of 'oath breakers' in the future, and these people will no longer be trusted.

"You already knew!" said Gray.

Thor nodded: "I accidentally discovered it when I was investigating the Red Rain Forest, and Viscount Donna is also sending people to explore the forest, but they are exploring to peek into the territory of Earl Lockton!"

"Since you all know Viscount Donner's intentions, why do you still have three big towns in three days?" Gray felt that Thor was an idiot right now.

Thor was also a little embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.

"According to our analysis, the cavalry of those two squadrons came from the Red Rain Forest!" Mark immediately changed the subject.

Gray raised his eyebrows when he heard this, it seemed that Viscount Donna had been preparing for this day for a long time.

"Will Grand Duke De Rooney let this happen?" asked Gray, Grand Duke De Rooney is the lord of the entire South, and Punk Druney, the entire Lord of the South is a vassal of the De Looney family.

"Do you know about Sir Lockton?" asked Thor.

"Lord Earl's brother?" Gray understood.

Mark next to him took over: "Viscount Donna claims to help his good friend Nevin regain his own territory, and also says that Lord Earl is a *** son and is not worthy of inheriting the title of Earl of Lockton!"

Gray nodded, this kind of struggle within the family, even the Grand Duke, has no right to stop, this is not a law, but an unspoken rule, just like the king's enthronement war.

Soon after arriving in Crane City, Gray heard that the mother of the current Earl of Lockton was a commoner, and he was an illegitimate son, but Gray did not believe that an illegitimate son could inherit the title of earl?

"How's the war going?" asked Gray.

"Lord Earl has asked his personal captain, the Knights of the Yaks, to lead the remaining three infantry brigades of the First Legion and the Heavy Knights on the east bank of the Aini River, and have now successfully stopped the enemy on the west bank of the Aini River, but the situation is not optimistic!" Mark frowned.

"How many troops are there?" asked Thor.

"About ten thousand!" Mark's voice was low.

Gray smacked his feet and said, "We should be reinforcing right away!"

"Lord Earl has asked you to lead your troops back to Herion City first, and the recruitment order has been issued, and an infantry regiment will soon be recruited, and the Yeke knights only need to hold out for another three days!" Mark said quickly this time.

Gray thought about it and sat down, if he only defended, it shouldn't be a problem for three thousand people to hold out for three days, but who can tell the battlefield clearly.

"Gray, we should trust Lord Earl, he's not an ordinary old man!" Thor said lightly.

After Saul said this, the three of them tacitly stopped talking, the hall was a little dull, and Gray didn't feel the color of the red wine at the moment, so he picked it up and drank it one by one.

After a while, Saul and Mark were just lying on the couch and falling asleep.

Maybe it's because I'm too tired these days, and Gray is also in a daze.

The night was fine, and the next day at dawn, Gray woke up, Thor and Mark were gone, Gray stood up first and moved his somewhat stiff body.

"Gray!" heard a noise in the hall, and Thor's voice came from the other side of the restaurant.

Breakfast was simple, white bread and sausage, plus a bowl of wheat porridge.

------------

Before dark, Gray led the nearly 3,000 soldiers to the city of Herion, looking at the familiar gate of the city wall, Gray felt as if it had been decades since he had been away for less than ten days.

Now the city of Herion is under complete martial law, the gates are tightly closed, and there is not a single pedestrian outside the city, and the arrival of Gray and his party has aroused the vigilance of the soldiers guarding the city wall.

Gray would not lead the troops directly to the city at such a time, and Mark ran forward to shout on his own.
