In the year 1731 of the continental calendar, in mid-May, Prince Wess set foot on the western land with the private army of Magnolian nobles.

The barren scorched black land of the west is undoubtedly a poor country compared to the glitz and glamour of Magnoria.

But at this moment, Wes is in high spirits, he represents the Violet royal family of Pars, and he is visiting the Western Province in person. In Wes's mind, a grand blueprint had been conceived.

"The great Archduke Wes Pars, rising in the west, in the harsh and barren west, the Grand Duke developed his territory, cultivated his army, broke through the city of Boer with iron hooves, defeated the Earl of the West, returned to Magnolia with the holy and undefeated military might, and surrounded by the ancient Magnolian nobility, His Majesty the Venerable Wes Pars took the supreme laurel!"

Wess had even thought in his heart about what a glorious and great Grand Duke he would be in later biographies. Taking a deep breath of the savage air of the West, Wes was a little intoxicated, yes, he smelled the supreme power in such air.

And around him, the leaders of the aristocratic private army of Prince Magnoliavis looked at the barren land with disgust.

They were the royal capital of Magnolia.

Their roots spread throughout Magnolia and even in the central region, and the relatives, estates, and estates of these families have been rooted in the prosperous Magnolia for generations, and unlike the feudal lords who fought with thieves, beasts, and nobles, these people were born to enjoy flowers and halos.

In their eyes, the air of Magnolia is sweet.

Although they did not want to come to this barren west, they had to come for the sake of the glory and reproduction of their family. The families of these people are already tied to the royal family, and the stability of the royal family and the prosperity of Magnolia are their capital.

The interests of these native nobles were aligned with those of the royal family, so at this time, the nobles who followed Weiss sent private armies. Several historic Magnolian magnates, almost three or four thousand well-equipped and well-trained troops, together wes, came to the west with an army of nearly 20,000 men.

......

The former central city of the west, Erdos.

The glorious Erdos of the past, because of the Earl Andy Adams, is the gentle town that all the nobles in the west yearn for, and it is the most prosperous and oldest city in the west. The streets here are as busy as Magnolia, with convoys of merchants selling the produce of the Great Wilderness to every corner of Violet. The night market in Erdos is a unique sight in the west.

But since the war of Viscount Maple Leaf, the prosperity of Erdos is gone, and now Erdos is like a dying old man, silently declining in a lifeless dullness.

The merchants bypassed the trade routes of the Northlands, and most of the nobles were removed by the rebellion, and the whole of Erdos seemed to have lost its soul.

Today's Erdos has a strange vitality.

Hart, the city officer, got up early from the gentle village. He was dressed very decently, red-faced, and refreshed, as if Hart did not look like a pot-bellied nobleman in his forties, but a young girl who was looking forward to his lover, and he stood at the city gate early in the morning.

Soon after.

He saw the historic gate of Erdos, where noble and extravagant gilded carriages slowly drove into the city gate. Young aristocrats sat on tall horses and enjoyed the reverence from this rural place.

A carriage slowly stopped in front of Hart, the curtain of the carriage was lifted in a corner, and Wes's slightly majestic immature face appeared in front of Hart, as a prince, Wes naturally has a kind of noble majesty, but this majesty lacks the real confidence and precipitation of the superior.

Hart recognized the noble prince with great eyesight, he hurriedly stepped up, and said in a flattering tone: "Your Highness, below is Hart, the city administrator of Erdos, Lord Earl heard that His Highness is coming to Erdos, let me meet you here early." ”

Wes looked at the flattering Hart, his brows furrowed inadvertently, and he said lightly, "What about Earl Andy?"

Hart chuckled in his heart, and the meaning of the prince's words was to ask him why the Earl had not come to greet him himself. Immediately, Hart laughed even harder, "Your Highness, the Earl heard that you are coming, and I will personally prepare a sumptuous dinner at the mansion." ”

Wes let out a nonchalty "um" and retreated into the carriage, while Joborg, who was beside him, shouted impatiently: "You country nobleman, do you have eyesight! ”

Joborg was annoyed in his heart, this damn west, there were no flowers and wine, no lovely aristocratic ladies, and there were only those yellow-faced and skinny country girls along the way, which made the eldest young master of the Meier family around him very unhappy.

Hart, as a city official in his forties, has a lot of power in Erdos, where he is called "the Earl's mad dog", is Count Andy's confidant, and is also a ruthless master, but in the face of such a gentleman young master's reprimand, he has a smile on his face, and he can't see the murderous appearance at all.

His appearance made these young masters from the royal capital even more disdainful, and his raised head was almost like looking at people with nostrils.

......

Soon, news of Wes's arrival in Erdos began to circulate in small areas.

His Royal Highness, the new lord of Baratan and the prince of the Duchy, arrived in the west on the grounds that "the road to Oz City was blocked", and took a detour to take the road of Erdos from the north and then all the way south to Balatan.

This led many nobles to begin to interpret the message of this move.

The situation in the west seems complicated, but in fact, it is dominated by the southern forces of Boer City with Wang Xiaotian as the mastermind, and the northern forces led by Earl Andy Adams. Wes went north and south, and that was a big problem.

Some sensitive aristocrats immediately smelled something unusual.

It seems that this prince is also a person who is not willing to be lonely, and his route can be interpreted into multiple meanings by those who have a heart.

First of all, the most obvious is that Wess intended to be close to this Count Andy Adams, otherwise why didn't he take the southern waterway and reach Balatan directly, but instead went around to the north to contact the forces of Erdos.

Secondly, this Royal Highness is not a stupid person. He went south from Erdos in the north, which had multiple advantages, not only to contact Erdos and understand the attitude of the earl, but also to go all the way south to find out the situation in the south from Bofei City and Mehner, and by the way, the prince had some banquets with those nobles on the road, and the relationship with Lala was much more convenient.
