Black Castle, the office of the Earl of York, five men sit at a long walnut table, some majestic, some rebellious, some handsome, some simple, but they all have one thing in common: self-confidence is remarkable. It was as if any of them were the center of the room. The five of them exuded a powerful aura all the time, and these invisible forces kept colliding, making ordinary people feel heavy pressure.

There were no ordinary people in the room, and the only Earl of York, who had no power, was not an ordinary person, he was the head of the family, even if it was nominal. These powerful knights tacitly did not extend their aura to the Earl of York, which made the Earl of York very proud, of course, he sat so firmly on the ground because Sylvia was standing behind him.

Sylvia's delicate hands rested on the back of the Earl of York's chair, gentle and demure, and her long bright red hair was draped over her shoulders, dazzling like flames. However, in the eyes of the Great Knight, this beauty represents a power that ordinary people cannot reach. The balance of the four elements forms the stable body of the knight, and the control of the elements from the inside out is the norm of the knight's strength. An outside-in change like Sylvia meant that the elemental sea was in a steady connection with her, and the endless elemental forces were forming a new balance in her body. It shows that Sylvia has stepped into the realm of legends with half a foot, which is the realm that knights dream of.

Sylvia couldn't help but smile as she watched the five great knights of the family sit there fighting openly and secretly. They were not hostile to each other, it was a natural reaction of the knight's will. Each Grand Knight has his own path, and they are equally powerful and equally reluctant to be influenced by others. However, the awe-inspiring gaze of these silver knights still satisfied Sylvia, in fact, she connected to the elemental sea, not to show power, but at the critical moment of the family's survival, she needed to make an accurate judgment of the situation, and the fire element, which represents spiritual power, could make Sylvia's mind sharper.

With the addition of Trisley and Terrandon, the family has seven grand knights, twenty-six knights, and one hundred and seventy-one apprentice knights, such a strength can be comparable to that of any knight order of the kingdom! Thinking of this, Sylvia suddenly felt a sense of pride, looked at the knights present, and said crisply: "Gentlemen, for the future of the family, tell me your opinions. ”

The five great knights looked at each other for a moment, and Gilles stood up and saluted Sylvia and said, "Lady Sylvia, I think we should abandon the centaur hills and negotiate with the Augustian family for a new territory. ”

"Gilles, do you think the kingdom will give us a territory as large as the Centaur Hills?" Viscount Fred York snorted. Fred was very satisfied with the territory of the Centaur Hills, which was half the size of the Kingdom of Gambis, with fertile land and a pleasant climate, and he was really a little unwilling to give up the Centaur Hills. Moreover, in order to build the town of Blackcastle, the family spent a lot of money, and if they were to withdraw like this, the loss would be incalculable.

Fred stood up and said, "The family's thousands of years of accumulation have been spent on the Centaur Hills, and giving up here means that we have given up the town of Blackcastle, 14 castles, and a huge amount of wealth. Even if we get a new territory, we don't have enough money to rebuild the infrastructure, and it may not be long before we become second-rate families. ”

The fat on the Earl of York's face trembled, his little eyes kept rolling, and he quickly calculated the loss of roughly eight hundred thousand gold soles, a figure that broke his heart.

"Fred tell me your opinion. Sylvia raised an eyebrow and asked the viscount.

Fred was overjoyed and said in a deep voice, "Ant-Man is indeed a big trouble, but it's just a trouble. Because, Ant-Man is the stupidest of all monsters!"

"It's true that we can't fight Ant-Man in the field, but we don't need to go out into the field to exterminate these monsters! As long as we hold the castle, we can wait for these Ant-Men to come and die. In particular, now we know that Ant-Man is afraid of fire, and it only takes a rocket to ignite an Ant-Man, and most of the 100,000 Ant-Man will soon be killed or injured. When their numbers are reduced to a certain level, we can send an army to encircle and suppress Ant-Man in the wild. ”

Fred paused and continued: "This time the ant tide is not only our York family has a loss, but the prince's party has a greater loss! Their castle is too low, some of them are less than twenty meters high, so they can't hold it. That's our York family's chance!"

"The church needs us to quell the ant-man, and Gambis needs us to be a barrier against the ant-men! Therefore, we can use this to negotiate terms with them, and we will completely take the centaur hills into our pockets, so that the kingdom can compensate us for our losses, not only by waiving the annuity, but also by providing us with various supplies every year to cover our expenses against the ant-men. At the same time, let the church help us build a fortress at the entrance to the swamp, as long as those three entrances are blocked, these stupid Ant-Man will become the weight in our hands!"

The whole Centaur Hill belongs to the family, the annuity is waived, all kinds of supplies are accepted every year, the fortress is free, these conditions make the Earl of York happy, and even look at this younger brother, who usually does not deal with it, a little more pleasing to the eye.

The other big knights are also excited, if it can really be like what Viscount Fred said, the family can basically be called a kingdom. No wonder Fred was reluctant to give up the centaur hills, and there were a few people who could resist such a temptation.

Gilles shook his head and said, "Ant-Man is not such a simple monster!"

Fred pursed his lips, and although he didn't speak, the disdain was very obvious, as if to say that Gilles was scared out of his mind by Ant-Man. Gilles couldn't help but show an angry look, but the thought of his comrades who had died in battle made him gloomy again, after all, a thousand Fanged Legionaries were wiped out under his leadership.

When Gilles was silent, he noticed that Sylvia was looking at him, and there was only encouragement in Yingying's eyes. Gilles's heart warmed, and he said in a deep voice: "Ant-Man is even more terrifying than we imagined, their individual strength is about the same as that of elite soldiers, and they are not afraid at all, and they are by no means without intelligence! The Ant-Men besieging Tellandon have begun to equip the weapons we have left behind and use their shields to fend off rockets, while they fill the edge of the castle with earth, apparently they intend to build a slope that is flush with the city walls. This shows that Ant-Man has the ability to learn, and he also has the ability to attack cities!"

"At the same time, I would like to remind you, don't forget that the number of Ant-Men exceeds 100,000! 100,000 monsters that have no fear, can learn, can attack cities, and what does it mean to be organized?

Everyone showed a solemn look, although Ant-Man was afraid of fire, the number of 100,000 was still desperate. Never before in the history of mankind has there been a war of 100,000 people. The scale of the war has always been small, and the armed forces of knights can break the will of ordinary armies to resist as long as they charge back and forth. Only in the offensive and defensive battles of the fortress can ordinary soldiers play a role. But these Ant-Men have no fear, and they will not be defeated at all, but there will always be a time when the knight's fighting spirit runs out, and once he is surrounded by the Ant-Man army, no matter how strong the knight is, he will be dead. If these monsters really have the ability to siege cities, it is not something that the York family can handle.

Fred groaned for a moment and said, "Gilles, you said that Ant-Man is wise, I'm afraid it's a bit alarmist. So far, Ant-Man has only breached two castles, and he still uses the bodies of his companions to pile them up. This kind of suicidal behavior has caused thousands of Ant-Men to be crushed to death by their own kind, and this is by no means something that intelligent beings can do! In addition, Ant-Man frantically besieged the castle, but turned a blind eye to the fleeing people, and their behavior was more like seeking war! Or was it sending them to death! Would any intelligent beings go to death?"

Gilles said in a slumber voice: "Ordinary creatures will not be sent to death, but intelligent creatures will be sent to death! Don't forget how the family war between the lords happened? How did the goblin tribe attack the human fortress happen? This just shows that the number of Ant-Men is amazing! They are probably cutting off the redundant kind! The death behavior of the Ant-Man is similar to that of wild bees, and the insects reproduce at an amazing speed, maybe in a few years, there will be Ant-Man attacking the Centaur Hills again. Perhaps, the Centaurs migrated to avoid Ant-Man's frequent attacks. ”

It is precisely because of the fiasco that Gilles pays special attention to Ant-Man's intelligence, and he knows more about Ant-Man than anyone else, and his conclusions are shocking.

Centaurs are very powerful orcs, they are tall and strong, they come and go like the wind, and they are adept at wielding javelins and bows and arrows. In the wild, only thick-skinned ogres can fight them, and the centaurs' javelin bows and arrows are not very effective against ogres, but ogres can only throw stones to fight back, as they can't catch up with centaurs at all.

Centaurs are slightly weaker than centaurs, but their war abilities far surpass those of their relatives. Since the Foresters are vegetarians, they are numerous and more civilized, which means that they are more organized and well-equipped, and if it weren't for the gentle temperament of the Foresters, it would be hard to say whether Gambis would have been able to establish a nation.

If the forest centaurs really migrated because of Ant-Man, then Ant-Man's strength would be too terrifying. Thinking of this, everyone's faces became ugly.

Sylvia chuckled, "Don't scare yourself, I'd rather prefer that the forest centaurs migrate on their own." Ant-Man is no match for Centaur in the Forest!"

"When we first entered the Centaur Hill, the purple cane forest was very well preserved, which means that Ant-Man had never invaded the Centaur Hill. In other words, the Centaurs wiped out the Ant-Man from the Centaur hills. In addition, we did not find any weapons and equipment left behind by the centaurs in the Centaur hills. This shows that most of the forest people and centaurs have responded to the call of the elves and went to the Everfree Forest to participate in the war. Of course, it's none of our business. ”

Sylvia said solemnly: "The migration of the forest centaurs allowed Ant-Man to invade the centaur hills! I have already reached a consensus with Bishop Pero on this point! As early as 1500 years ago, the church had dealt with Ant-Man, and Ant-Man had already destroyed an Inhuman empire! Therefore, we cannot deal with Ant-Man with our strength. ”

The Earl of York hurriedly said, "What should we do then?" Sylvia, let's evacuate as soon as possible!"

"Retreat or stay, it depends on the situation! Monsters like Ant-Man are the great enemies of the entire human world, if the Church sends the Knights of Radiance to support us, and the Kingdom helps us build a giant fortress at the entrance to the swamp, then we will shoulder the responsibility of defending the human world! But if someone wants to trap us to death, it is a dream!" Sylvia said coldly: "The Church does not allow us to start a civil war! It doesn't matter! Can the Church still prevent us from evacuating the 100,000 people of the Centaur Hills to the royal capital of Gambis?"

Sylvia's ruthless decision shocked the five great knights.

The Knights of Radiance did not come to the aid of the Centaur Hills, indicating that the power of the Church was dragged down in the Sassan Empire. This is a good time to start a family war! The move of a family into the King of the Gambis was not tolerated by the Augustes, but the migration of the family in the name of protecting the people was fully in line with the requirements of the Church. The Augustians are not at war, nor are they not at war. And Neovest will definitely seize this opportunity to restore the Rand Empire, and the Auguste family will be removed from the throne if the inside and outside are combined.

It can be said that Sylvia's hand was directly stuck in the throat of the Auguste family, which was both a dangerous move and a wonderful move to survive. Who made the Augusts perfidious in the first place? The knights of the House of York could no longer trust the royal family of Gambis. If you don't let me live, I'll let you die!

Looking at the big knights who showed excitement, Sylvia sighed secretly, she was actually not willing to go to war with the Auguste family, and when the Sassan Empire had no time to look south, it launched the Restoration War, and the reaction of the Kingdom of Duoduo and the Kingdom of Neville was unpredictable. But if the family is left alone to face Ant-Man, it will never be acceptable!

The Centaur Hills are on the edge of the human kingdom, and occupying them is invincible. How nice it would be if the Centaur Hills weren't threatened by Ant-Man!, Sylvia thought wistfully.

Sylvia cleaned up her mood and raised her voice: "No matter how the situation develops, we must rescue Terrandon! When the holy warriors of the Glorious Church complete their assembly, I will do my best to fight Ant-Man! This time, I will take action myself! Which of you has a problem?!"

The five great knights felt a pang in their hearts, stood up and said with a straight face: "I am willing to die for the family!"

The Telllandon family is a vassal of the House of York, following the House of York for more than 600 years, and the Earl himself is also a Grand Knight of the Silver Rank. The family suffered a huge sacrifice to save him, which is related to the cohesion of the family, and there is no choice.

"Bang"

In the amazed eyes of everyone, Trisley pushed the door directly and said in a deep voice: "Sylvia, Baron Victor is still alive!

Taking the parchment letterhead, Sylvia read it carefully, her eyes twinkled, and handed it to the knights seated, motioning for them to take turns.

"What?!Ant-Man has a commander!Kill it, and the colony will collapse?!" Gilles exclaimed.

"If that's true, this is our chance!" Fred said excitedly.

"How do you find them?" asked Hanas, the new Grand Knight of the York Family, with a frown.

Sylvia said indifferently: "I'll try it and find out! Let's go and see if this information is true. ”

When everyone left the room, Sylvia pinched the sheepskin letterhead and smiled and said to herself, "Victor, it's great that you're still alive!"
