Chapter 312: Before the battle was fought, the benefits began to be divided
The day after the various lords near Nafu City united, Claire dragged the black-robed mage she had captured alive to the table.
Like all the residents and adventurers of Nafu City announced that the previous Warcraft Tide was caused by the lords of several nearby cities, coupled with the admission of the black-robed mage, the residents of Nafu City and many adventurers are full of dissatisfaction with the cities of Naogang City, and many of their relatives and friends died in the Warcraft Tide, so it can be said that those lords indirectly killed their relatives and friends.
Public opinion began to ferment, which had a lot of impact on the economy of nearby cities, especially in transportation hubs like Haiya City, and public opinion caused many traders to avoid going to Haiya City to rest.
It wasn't long before the lords issued a statement saying that they didn't know the black-robed mage and that Claire was framing them.
Could it be that if you just find someone to wronged them, you can throw the fault on them?
There are many people who believe such statements.
But Claire didn't care, but kept arguing with the other party, all he had to do was spread the news from the black-robed mage, and make a big fuss.
Claire doesn't care about giving the other party any practical evidence, will the other party compromise and offer compensation with both hands? Of course not!
After making a big fuss, my own side will become famous! If you win, these things are not a thing! History is written by the victors, not to mention that they are already in charge!
As for losing? Hahahaha, that's absolutely impossible.
……
The two sides continued to engage in wrangling, and public opinion became more and more noisy.
The lords also sent their knights and stationed them outside the Griffin's territory. Claire's side did not show weakness, and asked Hunter to take the knights to train and prepare for the battle in the Griffin territory every day.
Almost all the inhabitants of the cities in the southern part of the kingdom knew that there would inevitably be a war between Claire and the lords.
In the past few days, the people of Nafu City have also had a feeling that the storm is coming, and the tourists have become scarce, and the tourism industry in Nafu City has even stagnated.
Everyone can feel that in less than a week at most, war will break out between the two sides!
……
In the barracks stationed outside Griffin's territory, several lords gathered in a yurt.
"What about Earl Green?"
"He didn't come, and Claire didn't deliver him a blackmail letter, so he wasn't going to get involved in it."
"Humph!" Count Carlyle snorted coldly, "Cowardly waste! ”
"It's the same whether you come or not." Count Vian said lightly: "Last time, Claire wiped out all his family resources, and even if he sent a knight over, it wouldn't be of much help to us. It's better not to come, it won't disrupt our deployment. ”
"That's right." Viscount Harvey said: "But I can send someone to inquire, the knights of Nafu City have all been promoted in that Warcraft Tide, and now the lowest level is all silver-level knights, and their captains are all at the level of big knights." ”
"What are you afraid of!" Count Evan waved his hand, "Even if they are all silver-level knights, isn't his number still so small?" The total number of knights under the hands of a few of us is thousands, and the combined number of silver-level knights is more than them! As for the Grand Knight, we don't have any. ”
Count Carlyle also agreed: "Yes, whether it is in terms of quantity or quality, we are not afraid of Claire at all, even if he is an archmage, we can pile him to death!" ”
Count Harvey also smiled, "I don't know what this Viscount Claire thinks, declaring war with so many of us at the same time!" It's just looking for death! "In Xavi's opinion, they will win this battle! There's no possibility of losing.
"Hahahaha!" Earl Evan laughed heartily, took out the map of Griffin's territory from his bosom, and spread it out on the table.
Stretching out his finger, he drew a circle on the town of Nagin and a nearby iron-rich mine, and said loudly: "I want this place, you don't want to fight with me!" ”
Viscount Harvey also stretched out his hand and drew a circle on another iron-rich mine, "I want this." ”
Count Vian drew a circle on the coastline of Nafu City, "This place is for me, and I will build a new port." ”
After the three of them finished dividing, they all looked at Count Carlyle, and Carlyle waved his hand, "My territory does not border the Griffin territory, and you can buy the remaining copper and coking coal mines with your money." ”
Evan nodded, thinking about how much money should be spent to buy it, his Aogang City is in the metal ore business, and there is a way to make a quick profit if you want to go down to the metal mine. As for Nagin, he wants to try to follow the path of metallurgy like Claire and see if he can earn more.
……
On the other side, on the top floor of the Viscount's House in Nafu City, Claire was lying on a chaise longue and admiring the stars through the glass window overhead.
After some time, Claire felt a little sleepy, closed her eyes and said to herself, "It's about the same, let's start tomorrow." ”
……
The next day, the sound of horses' hooves sounded again in the city of Nafu, and the Hunters, dressed in shining silver armor, walked slowly from the barracks towards the city gates.
On both sides of the road were the welcoming inhabitants of the road, and the constant splashing of flowers greeted the knights.
"Lord Khanty! You must return triumphantly! ”
"We must defeat those bad people so that they don't dare to fight us again in the future!" A child shouted in a milky voice.
"Uh-huh! Down with them! Let them know that we are the kings of Nafu! ”
"And! Riders must be safe! ”
"We'll be waiting for you to come back with something to eat in Nafu City!"
Listening to the encouragement of those people, the hearts of those knights were filled with endless motivation, and they felt that the whole person was excited.
Hunter led the knights to the gates, where Claire had been waiting for a long time.
After seeing Claire, Hunter flipped off the wolf king, walked quickly to Claire and knelt down on one knee.
"Lord Viscount! Your knights are all assembled! ”
Claire smiled slightly, drew the long sword at her waist and tapped it on each shoulder and on the top of Hunter's head, which was a kind of baptism ceremony before the battle.
"I protect you in the name of Lord Griffin!"
After saying that, Claire paused slightly, and then shouted to the residents of Nafu who followed behind.
"This battle will be won!"
The faces of Hunter and the knights turned red with excitement, and they all chanted.
"This battle will be won!"
"Hoo !!" The fire in the hearts of the surrounding onlookers was also ignited, and they raised their arms and shouted: "We will win!" ”
"Winning !!"
This warm atmosphere shocked the adventurers who came to see the excitement, and listening to the constant sound in their ears, their hearts couldn't help but be enthusiastic.
"It's such a nice vibe, it makes me want to be a resident of Nafof."
An old adventurer also exclaimed: "It's really good, I've been to so many cities, and the atmosphere here is the best I've ever seen, not one of them." ”
"It's an honor to be a knight here, and the inhabitants have a very high sense of identity with the lord, and the city of Nafu ...... It will definitely become a great city in the future. ”
