Chapter 175: Marching into Mason

Since Crove Black Rock tore up the agreement and attacked Golden Moon County, Kevin Ellis's offensive in Mason County has gradually stalled, and in addition to the three Royal Trial Orders close to Prince Cameron's Territory, the four Royal Trial Orders adjacent to Art County have also been left behind by the withdrawal of the Orcs.

In this way, after receiving the remnants of the defeated army of other trial leaders in Mason County, although they have no ability to further regain the lost territory, they can still protect themselves together, and besides, the location of their territories is also very remote, and Kevin can't take care of them for the time being.

Kevin's treacherous behavior is very hateful, even if he occupies most of the territory of Mason County, in a short period of time, he must leave enough soldiers in the occupied area to bomb the place, and after the Black Rock Orcs have raided the occupied area once, he can not get food and other materials to "suppress" the rebels.

After learning about the stalemate in Mason County, Lin Feng asked Shore to increase the intelligence collection there, "Shore, judging from this intelligence, there are many small and medium-sized refugee gathering places there, you can select some of the elites of the 'Seventh Column' to mix in those gathering places, and when our army drives over, you will still need their help." ”

Lin Feng had already decided that after waiting for the new grain harvest on Nanlin Island, he would lead the Golden Rose Knights to "reinforce" Mason County, and at that time, his expanded heavy cavalry corps should also be trained to ensure the minimum combat effectiveness, well, Lin Feng has high expectations for them, the battle in Mason County is just a training ground, and their ultimate goal is the Black Rock tribe of the Orc Empire.

Shore likes to take risks, although he is now the deputy director of the "MI9" of the Golden Rose Viscount's Mansion, and there is a "seventh column" under his command, but he doesn't look like a powerful man at all, dressed in tattered leather armor, with unkempt hair, and his face is covered with dust.

After receiving Lin Feng's order, the clever Xiao Er immediately realized the intention of his lord, and also understood that he attached great importance to this matter, so Xiao Er once again went deep into the "dangerous situation", of course, there was not much danger in blending into the gathering place of refugees, not to mention that he also brought a lot of helpers!

This place is called Elijah, originally just a small mountain village, when the Black Rock Orcs raided Mason County, many people escaped from the plains, and then slowly gathered here, after a few months, Elijah actually developed into a large mountain town, and this is where Shore was headed.

According to Lin Feng's plan, he needed to choose a location there to set up an outpost to hoard all kinds of supplies before sending troops to Mason, after all, if he wanted to fight in Mason County, this logistics could not be sloppy, and Elijah was the best choice for him to choose to establish an outpost.

After Shore infiltrated Elijah, it only took two days to understand the situation here, "It was originally a small mountain village, there was not much food output, and after gathering a large number of refugees, they used up the food there in just two months, and now Mason County is in a period of peace, so these refugees are ready to leave there." ”

After listening to Shore's report, Lin Feng thought about it for a while, and said to him: "We still need a lot of workers to build an outpost there, if they disperse like this, we will have a lot less necessary labor, so let's do it, Shore, you lead a team of 1,000 people to escort a batch of grain over first, you have to leave those stronger laborers as much as possible, and hire them to start building the outpost wall." ”

In just half a month, they built a wall made of thick logs around the outpost of Elijah, and at the same time, Shore also converted the original houses in the small mountain village into warehouses to stock up on military supplies that arrived here.

Lin Feng knew that the longer the time dragged on, the more resources Kevin Ellis would integrate the occupied area, and the more difficult it would be to defeat him at that time, after all, the purpose of organizing the army into Mason County was not only to deal with this "former prince" who had betrayed his country, his goal was further.

After Kevin seduced the orcs to invade Mason County and seize most of the territory of Mason County, the news of "Prince Treason" had already spread within the Auron Empire, and the new Emperor August was almost angry and vomited blood by him when he heard the news, "Shame, shame, Kevin is not worthy of the surname Ellis at all!"

Therefore, now that Kevin has been expelled from the royal family by decree of the new emperor, the royal senate of the empire has unanimously passed a resolution to permanently expel him and his descendants from the Ellis family, and he and his descendants will never be allowed to be readmitted back to the Ellis family.

And our Kevin "former prince" didn't know if he was stimulated to go crazy after hearing these news, and he immediately announced that he had changed his name to Kevin Mason, officially assumed the title of Grand Duke of Mason, and openly took "Mason" as his surname, and created a new family for himself.

At this moment, he stabbed the hornet's nest, and Prince Andy, who was originally against the new emperor, was ready to contact him and secretly support him to order something, after all, it would be good to have one more person to share the pressure!

However, as soon as Kevin Mason's statement was issued, Prince Andy immediately extinguished that thought, "Kevin is stupid, how stupid he is, there is really no room for relaxation at all." ”

Prince Andy still plans to enter the Holy Dragon City and become the emperor of the Dragon Empire after defeating the new Emperor August, so he is trying to maintain a good reputation, and it is this act of provoking a civil war that is also a chance for "fair play" in his justification.

In order not to be dragged into the water by Kevin Mason and ruin his good reputation, Prince Andy had to denounce him while withdrawing his aid.

Lin Feng made it clear to the new Emperor August through Brad's envoy that he was going to "share his worries" for him, and at the same time gathered 30,000 troops, crossed the border between Jinyue County and Mason County, and officially participated in the counterinsurgency victory of Mason County.

"Temporary arbitrariness", Lin Feng was originally only granted the temporary discretion of Jinyue County by the new Emperor August, but his cross-border counterinsurgency military action broke this restriction, and the new Emperor August's acquiescence once again blurred its specific authority.

So, by mistake, the name of Viscount Golden Rose also began to spread among the top nobles of the empire, "I heard that he was granted the right to arbitrarily decide in wartime, and he is very favored by the new emperor!" Well, for such rumors, Lin Feng is definitely happy to see it come true.
