Early the next morning, Richard and Reilly arrived at Castle Twilight with three Knights of Twilight.

Although they had not known Baron Fontaine for a long time, they had forged a friendship through fighting side by side. It stands to reason that even if the baron didn't help, he wouldn't embarrass Richard like this.

"Then again, Baron Fontaine's territory is right between you and the Redwood Kingdom, and there are several important trade routes passing through him, so it would be troublesome if this guy was interested in going against us. Reilly shook his head and said.

Richard's new territory was rich in resources, but it was in an untapped state, and it was in urgent need of importing supplies and personnel from Baron Fontaine's domain. If this incident cannot be resolved, it will be difficult for Richard's territory to develop.

Therefore, Richard wanted to visit Dusk Castle himself to see who the main messenger behind the scenes was.

After the announcement of the intention, the officer guarding the door took Richard and the others to the castle at dusk. Passing through an uninhabited stretch of road, the officer said to himself: "Your Excellency the Baron has never broken the Covenant. ”

Reilly's heart moved, and he used a secret method to convey to Richard: "After meeting Baron Fontaine, don't speak, let me negotiate with him." If the baron is still on our side, he will probably play with me. ”

Richard nodded and did not speak.

Soon, Reilly and the others met Baron Fontaine in the parlor of the Twilight Castle. Judging from the breath, Baron Fontaine's strength has stabilized at level fifteen, and there is a tendency to continue to rise, if there is no accident, he will soon become a Faro version of the "Sanctuary" powerhouse.

On the left side of the parlor was a middle-aged nobleman who had never seen him before, which made Reilly care. So he said to Baron Fontaine, "Lord Fontaine, you don't seem to want to see us build a new castle, why is that?"

Baron Fontaine smiled and said, "Every nobleman has the right to build a castle on his own territory, how can I interfere with your freedom?"

"So, can you provide us with some workers and materials?" asked Reilly.

"I'm sorry, I've been doing a major overhaul of Dusk Castle recently, so I'm a little strapped for supplies. It's not that we don't want to help you, it's just that the price is ......" Baron Fontaine stood up and waved his left hand, then pointed to the strange middle-aged nobleman next to him with his right hand, and said, "I still have to listen to the opinions of all parties." At this time, his left hand just went down, blocking the middle-aged nobleman's sight, not allowing him to see the movement of his right hand.

Reilly nodded in understanding, so he pointed to the middle-aged nobleman and said, "Lord Baron, this gentleman seems to be a little blind, who is he?"

The middle-aged nobleman waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter who I am......"

Reilly interrupted him unceremoniously and sneered, "Since it's an unimportant person, why don't you get out?"

A flash of anger immediately flashed across the middle-aged nobleman's face, and his mouth opened as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he fell silent. This person is very scheming, and he did not reveal his identity because of a momentary anger.

Seeing that he was not fooled, Reilly smiled and said, "Why, you still refuse to leave, then don't blame me for being rude!"

The middle-aged nobleman couldn't sit still any longer, he stood up and said sharply: "Young man, do you know the consequences of doing this?!"

"The consequences?" Reilly snorted disdainfully, "Do you want to use force here?"

"I really don't know how thick the sky is! If you are not afraid of war, will others be afraid?"

Reilly smiled and said, "I think, that's what you intended." If you're not mistaken, you're supposed to be a servant of the Highland Unicorn Viscount. ”

The middle-aged arist's face changed and he stopped talking. He was also a smart man and knew that it would be no good for him to provoke "Richard" now. In addition, he was also thinking about what went wrong in the link that made "Richard" think of the Highland Unicorn Viscount so quickly. If the Duke of Blue Wolf gets the news before he kills "Richard", things will get tricky, and it is not something that can be put on the table to win over a vassal of one lord to attack another of his vassals.

Of course, the Viscount of the Highland Unicorn is a special being, and if "Richard" had become a dead man, the situation would have been completely different, and justice would always be in the hands of the victors.

Reilly waved his hand, and said to Baron Dan, "Now, everything that should be known is already known." Where's Pierce? Please get him out and we'll go at once. ”

Baron Fontaine gave Reilly a deep look, then ordered the guards to bring them up. A few minutes later, Pierce followed the guards into the parlour.

After saying goodbye to Baron Fontaine, Reilly led the group out of the drawing room.

Upon returning to the camp, Richard and Reilly immediately began to rearm themselves for battle. Since the Viscount Chim wanted to give them a war, he would definitely not wait for Richard to build the castle. In fact, Sim moved much faster than Richard had expected. It seems that in addition to his somewhat arrogant personality, this viscount is quite reasonable in terms of ability.

The road to the Redwood Kingdom has been blocked, and Richard is temporarily unable to get supplies and troops from Duke Blue Wolf, nor can he send news to Deep Rock. However, he had no intention of asking the Duke of Blue Wolf for help at this time.

Now, the most important thing is to win the war in front of us.

Richard's ranks included twenty more strange-looking grenadiers, dressed in custom-made leather armor, each with five throwing axes on their belts. However, it is the bone blade hidden behind them that is really powerful. This group of grenadiers is led by an elite grenadier who has a strength of ten levels, two levels higher than the average grenadier. The greatest value of an elite grenadier is that it is clearly superior to its peers, and its deterrent to ordinary grenadiers. This allowed it to help Richard command the grenadiers and give simple orders on his behalf.

When the scale of the war increases, the role of elite units will become apparent.

Richard's military strength had been steadily rising, with nine new throwers joining his ranks every three days. After destroying hundreds of Shards, the Brood's production capacity has increased dramatically, and it can now produce three Throwers or six Wind Fangs per day. On frontal combat, the Throwers were much more useful than the Wind Fangs, so Richard began to have the brood constantly create Throwers.

With the brood, time is on Richard's side.

However, Viscount Sim came quickly. Richard did not wait for the next group of grenadiers before he was informed by Reilly of the enemy's appearance dozens of kilometers away.

Through the perspective of the dragon fly, Reilly quickly saw the details of this army. The Highland Unicorn Viscount brought with him more than fifty elite heavy cavalry and two hundred light cavalry, plus hundreds of archers, and the rest were all infantry. This force of more than 1,000 men was the first fully armed opponent Reilly had ever encountered, and it would be difficult to deal with if he had an experienced general in command.

As for equipment, the army of the Highland Unicorn Viscount will not be short of equipment.

In fact, a force of this size could have tried to attack a barony. It can be seen from this that in the encounter in the Bloodstained Lands, Richard left a psychological shadow on Sim, so much so that the viscount used a large army as soon as he made a move. You know, the more fighters are dispatched, the more difficult it is to deal with the aftermath.

Richard's army had more than 300 men left, and if Reilly's troops were added, the number would have reached 700. However, the actual combat effectiveness of this force far exceeded that of Viscount Sim's army of 1,000 men.

Prior to this, Richard had already investigated Viscount Chim and had received more detailed information from Duke Greywolf.

The Highland Unicorn Viscount did have the qualifications to be arrogant, and Richard was right, with most of Chim's value focused on his masculine symbol.

Little Fatty's father is the Earl of Canglu, his mother is the sister of the current King of Sequoia, and the eldest uncle is the Duke of Glasburg, one of the three major dukes of the kingdom. However, his strong background was not enough to support his arrogance and arrogance. In fact, the superiority of this Viscount Sim comes mainly from his bloodline.

The lineage of the Sequoia royal family hides the bloodline of the ancient holy beasts, but it is rarely revealed, and there are often only one or two lucky people who can awaken the power of the bloodline in a few generations.

In the last two decades, the most blood-soaked person in the royal family has been Viscount Chim, and it is the unicorn that has revealed the characteristics of a high-ranking creature. As a result, the unicorn viscount suddenly became hot. Many aristocrats, including the royal family, are trying to find ways to bring their daughters close to Him, hoping to give birth to offspring with a strong bloodline. Historically, this isn't a big possibility, but there are still plenty of people willing to give it a try.

Countless arrogance and grace have gradually shaped the character of Viscount Sim today, he has never lacked power, status and women, but he has planted a big heel in Richard's hands that he has never had since he was born.

Reilly opened the system map and carefully observed the surrounding terrain and the situation of both sides. Viscount Chim carried a large number of infantry, so he moved slowly and would enter Richard's territory after about a day. In order to maintain the strength of the fighters, Chim also needed to rest for one night before launching an attack the next day.

"Then again, the terrain in this area is really complicated. Reilly touched his chin and smiled, "Sure enough, it's a soldier...... Hehe, Feng Shui treasure!"
