On the outskirts of the town of Scuol, Baron Fred was standing at the intersection waiting for Prince Andy's army, and the dust raised in the distance had already told him that the army he was waiting for was about to arrive, and the commander of that army, Baron Fred, had prepared a gorgeous and comfortable manor house for him.

Looking ahead, the flag belonging to Prince Andy was getting closer and closer, and Baron Fred's face was very bad, "I hope my choice is right!" He thought to himself: "For the sake of the family's inheritance, although I feel ashamed, I have to do this." ”

The squires standing around Baron Fred were all Shore's subordinates, and their task was to spy on him and "assist" him in his quest to invite the prince into the urn. In order to ensure that Baron Fred could obediently cooperate, in Talon County, Shore imprisoned all members of his family in a country estate.

Of course, in order to enhance Baron Fred's confidence, Lin Feng also let him visit the heavy cavalry corps led by Kivika, this army is deployed on the small plain between the small town of Scull and the county border of Daron County, which is also Lin Feng's backhand, even if Baron Fred is in the middle of the battle, Lin Feng can intercept Andy Ellis's army outside of Talon County.

Baron Fred is not a stupid person either, "Prince Andy's army has been cut off from supplies, if they can't return to Talon County and rely solely on looting military rations in Nicol County, then they will definitely not be able to support it for long." ”

Nicol County, this is not a grain production area in the first place, and it is also the main battlefield of the Empire's Civil War, even if Nicol County used to be a famous workshop concentration in the Empire, the five or six years of war have almost turned this place into ruins.

Stopping the horse's head, Andy Ellis watched Baron Fred humbly salute him, as before, although his face was pale and a little flustered, but Andy Ellis did not think much of it.

On the way here, Andy Ellis once again questioned the messenger knight who had returned with his army, and from his mouth, Andy had roughly "understood" the situation in Talon County, "What a mess, I didn't expect that the army of the Golden Rose Count was quite powerful, and it had already occupied almost half of my territory." ”

He didn't know that at this time, Dalong County was occupied by Lin Feng on the surface, of course, Lin Feng only occupied those more important towns in Dalong County, in the countryside, as long as those local nobles re-swore allegiance to the new Emperor August, Lin Feng did not interfere too much in their territorial affairs.

"We don't have the energy or the time to deal with these 'landlords', as long as they can show their attitude and are willing to provide 'assistance', then let's keep the status quo. "That's what Lin Feng said to Locklan before he left Dalong County.

Under Lin Feng's order, Locklan and the "Guardian Sword" legion led by him, they temporarily stayed in Dalong County, in order to better control here, Lin Feng moved out of a notorious "cage policy", occupied those node towns on the main communication lines in Dalong County, and used points to lead lines and control surfaces with lines, so as to achieve his goal of controlling Dalong County.

"This county is also the base camp of Andy's rebels, even if the 'ambush plan' can be successful, in order to be able to more smoothly reorganize those rebels, we must achieve basic control here. At the last military meeting, Lin Feng said.

O'Neilger's Manor, located in the northeast corner of the town of Scuol, was once Baron O'Neilger's holiday estate, but when Andy Ellis marched into Nicol County the year before, he abandoned everything in Scull and fled back to the imperial capital, Holy Dragon, after all, he had been on the side of the new Emperor August.

Baron Fred placed Andy Ellis and his attendant guard in O'Neilger's Manor, and Andy Ellis did not have any doubts about his arrangement, and Andy Ellis was relatively satisfied with the place after entering O'Neierger's Manor.

As a holiday estate, the building facilities are relatively clean and luxurious, and on the perimeter of the estate, it has a high fence, which not only isolates the estate from the noisy town of Scull, but also provides a good guarantee in terms of security.

The two messenger knights, who had just returned with Prince Andy, had also arrived, and, after greeting Baron Fred, they had entered a row of barracks next to the gate of the manor, and it seemed that they would also be in charge of the defense of the place.

Andy Ellis's squire captain of the guard, who had wanted to take over all the defense of O'Neilg Manor, when he asked Prince Andy for instructions, Baron Fred kindly persuaded him:

"Your Royal Highness, Your Excellency the Captain of the Guard, you have come from afar, at this time, you must be very tired, it is better to let my subordinates take on part of the task of patrol and defense, the core area where His Royal Highness lives, or leave it to His Royal Highness's guards, and on the periphery of the manor, I have selected a group of guards to garrison before, do you still let them stay at their posts?"

Andy Ellis looked at Baron Fred, and then turned to look at the captain of his guard, who had been marching for several days, and his face inevitably had a hint of exhaustion, and his heart couldn't help but be a little moved.

"Alright, Fred, just do as you say!" Andy Ellis agreed, thinking of the small town of Scour, which was filled with his troops inside and outside the town.

However, the captain of his guard was still a little vigilant, and he said stubbornly: "Your Highness, for your safety, I cannot accept Baron Fred's kindness, I still hope that his men will withdraw from the manor and camp in the town, well, or, they can set up a temporary guard camp outside the wall." ”

Baron Fred felt a shock in his heart, but he still smiled dryly and continued to persuade: "Your Excellency the Captain of the Guard's loyalty is admirable, but I am also loyal to His Royal Highness, and I also want to contribute to His Royal Highness at this time!"

"Alright then, I'll leave the patrol on the periphery of the manor to your people, but I'll send another team of guards to patrol it, well, in addition, I'll leave some guards at the gate of the manor, and this can't be changed!"

In the end, the captain of the guard still made a compromise, after all, he also knew the situation of his subordinates, if he really wanted to force Baron Fred's "good intentions", more or less, exhausted subordinates, they would also have complaints.
