"My lord, there is an emergency military situation!"

During the night, the lord's hesitation was interrupted.

A soldier on duty at night ran into the hall on the ground floor of the main building and handed Li Ang a letter.

The letter was not-so-good news - the army of the Raven Realm was heading south through the Cato steppe!

The letter was from Baron Leofric of Fort Brave.

The Raven Kingdom had previously amassed heavy forces around Dawn Furnace and Oldenburg, but it was to deal with the Catotes.

Now the Cato people have retreated, but the army of the Raven Kingdom has not disbanded, but has gone directly south.

Although the Raven Kingdom did not declare war on the Lion Kingdom, after their army moved south into the Cato steppe, they had been marching south, which was obviously not to fight back against the Cato, but to enter the territory of the Lion Kingdom.

This is clearly an undeclared attack on the Lion Kingdom!

It is actually very rare for the Raven Kingdom to cross the Cato steppe to attack the Lion Kingdom - since it is difficult to predict how the Cato will react, the Raven Kingdom and the Lion Kingdom rarely go to war in the northeast.

Moreover, an undeclared war would be seen as malicious aggression, and a sudden attack by a country that had previously lived in peace without any sense of morality could easily invite the entire continent to join forces against it.

In this era, wars between countries usually have a reason. For example, last year, King Ulrik launched a war against the Bacchus Empire on the grounds of 'reconquistaking', and the Bacchus Empire's attack on Fort White Hart was a counterattack to this war. In the past half a year, the Lion Kingdom and the Bacchus Empire have not signed an armistice, so no matter how they attack each other in this situation, it is tenable.

However, the Raven Kingdom and the Lion Kingdom did not have any unresolved disputes before, and they had signed a peace agreement, and if they did not declare war on a peaceful country, it would be pure aggression.

Of course, from another point of view, the Raven Kingdom can indeed send a large army into the Lion Realm now, and there is a barely tenable reason for it - Fawsett and Lion Lake City claim allegiance to Lady Ursula, and Lady Ursula is a rebel in the Raven Realm.

It is reasonable for the Raven Kingdom to march towards Lion Lake City on the pretext of exterminating the rebels, but it is really a bit far......

But the problem is that the castle facing the border directly from the Lion Kingdom is not Lion Lake City, but Talon Fort and Fort Shield - the intention of taking advantage of the fire is obvious......

Therefore, Baron Leofrick sent people to spread the news to various towns as soon as possible, and White Hart Fort was probably the first to receive the news.

Leofric was not sure how the Raven Kingdom's army would operate, nor how the Cato would react, but he felt that the Cato might also take advantage of the fire and looted it, fearing that his shield fort would not be able to withstand it, so he asked Leon for reinforcements.

After receiving the news of the request for help, the lord was no longer entangled - the current situation was obviously no longer suitable for sending troops to quell the rebellion, otherwise he would just be making a wedding dress for other countries.

The chaotic struggle within the Lion Kingdom has obviously been known to other countries, and if nothing else, in addition to the Raven Kingdom, Fieldsway and the Bacchus Empire may want to seize the opportunity......

Although the Lion Kingdom and Fields had just signed an alliance more than half a year ago, King Vidis might not be bound by a piece of paper, and the Alliance Elder, who had only gone from 'leader' to 'king' more than half a year ago, might need a victory to consolidate his position!

And the Bacchus Empire has not made any moves so far, probably just because Livius is still in the hands of Leon, and Siyuan City is farther away from Lion Lake City and other places, so it is even later to learn the news, and it has not had time to react.

"Risa Dilan! Go and call Vendatil......"

The lord shouted to the side of the seemingly empty hall.

It was early in the morning, and the space on the side of the hall looked dark and nothing, but Leon knew that someone must be protecting him.

"My lord, Risa Dilan has gone to guard the outside, and I'm here."

Wentilf jumped down from the top of the pitch-black hall: "Looking for Teacher Wendatil at this time?" My lord...... Do you ...... Lonely? ”

Wendy's current job is similar to that of Risadillan, who will act as the lord's bodyguard, and by the way, provide the necessary protection for Amy, who also lives in the main building, who is a male after all, and it is not easy to get close to Amy's boudoir.

"Hurry up, Wendy...... It's for business......"

Leon didn't know what Wentilv was thinking all day long, this fifty-year-old underage girl knew everything, but she looked like an unscrupulous and rebellious bad girl, joking all day long.

"However, Mr. Vendatil was upstairs in the guest room...... She must have heard your call. ”

Wendy said as she relapsed into the darkness, "She's come down to you, my lord......"

That's right, the Noldor elves have such good hearing, and they can definitely hear the lord's shouts in this silent night......

"Lord Leon, are you looking for me?"

Vendatil walked down the stairwell and looked at the empty hall, as if hesitating—Leon was alone in the hall, and the soldier who had reported the news had already gone out.

"Vendatier, I have an idea for your approval...... Due to the urgency of the military situation, we must negotiate the outcome as soon as possible. ”

The lord's expression was extremely serious.

……

At noon, with heavy dark circles under his eyes, the Lord Lord received important guests in the hall of the Lord of White Deer Castle.

This is a Twilight Knight under Yin Sillandier.

Obviously, Yin Slimlandil cared about the only human lord willing to cooperate with Noldor, and he had the Twilight Knight wait near White Hart Castle, so Vendatier only took half a morning to bring him.

This meeting, Vendatier was also present as the 'tribune' of the Noldor rangers.

The young Noldor rangers listened to Vendatier, but most of them were not from her people, they were from four different Noldor tribes, all of whom had learned how to fight with Vendatier.

Vendatier didn't intend to be a lord of any kind, so Leon learned the title of the Bacchus Empire and gave her the title of 'Noldor Tribune'.

On the one hand, it means that the lord sees the Noldor elves as the same citizens, just like humans.

On the other hand, it is to make a statement to the Noldor - Noldor is only bound by the Tribune here, and let Noldor manage Noldor, which is Leon's promise.

Wentlf and Risadilan were actually in the hall of the lords, and they were both present as the personal guards of the lord. However, although they are both Noldor nobles, the two 'young men' have little say......

The Noldor Elf who has the most voice is actually the representative of Yin Sillandier, the Twilight Knight who waited for Leon halfway before, and ended up temporarily beating Dumbledore's Ebony Gauntlet Knights.

The Twilight Knight's name is Noyer.

The name reminded the lord of the Metenheim men who had returned to their hometown......

"Your Excellency Li Ang, His Highness Yin Si Landil has authorized me to contact you. His Highness himself had hoped to come here in person, but it was really difficult for him to appear in human territory, so I hope you can understand......"

Noyer is a very polite Noldor Elf, in fact, most of the Noldor Elves maintain good manners and upbringing, and the Twilight Knights who can get the permission to lead the troops seem to be more qualified, and so is Saidren.

After all, they are all hundreds of years old......

"Your Excellency, we will not be polite, let's get straight to the point...... I intend to open a trade zone in the forest east of Whitedeer Castle, where the Noldor Elves will trade with Whitedeer Castle. Start with reciprocal trade, such as the food and cloth you need, and the weapons and furs you need. I will set a reference price for these goods, and no one wants to be a profiteer...... Let's get to know each other and build friendship between the people of the two races, and the follow-up cooperation can be discussed according to the situation. ”

The lord gave a trade plan very directly.

"That's a good idea, Lord Leon, and I think His Highness Yin Silandil will be satisfied."

Noyer nodded repeatedly, it was smoother than he expected, in fact, as long as he could buy food from White Deer Castle, it would already be a good result for him - enough food would be of great help to the reproduction of any race.

"The trade zone will be under the joint protection and restraint of me and Ms. Vendatil. At the same time, I will count the outer part of the Noldor Forest near Whitedeer Castle as Whitedeau's territory - I will issue a decree that no outsiders will be allowed to bring weapons into Whiteshart's territory, which will be a good protection for your people. But it should be noted that Noldor must also obey the laws of my territory, and killing people is to pay for their lives. Of course, if a human kills Noldor, I will capture it and hand it over to you as well. I hope that His Highness Yin Si Landil will make Al Dalian willing to cooperate with this cooperation......"

The plan given by the lord was clearly beneficial to the Noldor, and Noyer was already smiling.

"That's great, Lord Leon, we'll keep our people in order! On Aldalian's side, we will also convince him that I can lead troops to protect the trade zone until he is willing to cooperate, so please rest assured. ”

Noyer stood up satisfied, bowed to his chest and saluted.

"Okay, then finally, I want to settle the hatred between you and humanity, Lord Noyer......"

Li Ang also stood up: "I plan to take your troops to rescue Yongdun Fort!" ”

This was the plan that the lord had discussed with Vendatil overnight.

This is not in line with any of the options he considered yesterday......

Having received news in the early hours of the morning that the Raven Realm army was heading south through the Cato Grassland, Leon planned to send reinforcements first, and take the opportunity to solve one of the most troublesome problems - to allow the Noldor Elves to coexist peacefully with his men.

In other words, the idea of how to get others not to fight these Noldor rangers in White Hart Castle.

Especially the Maiden Rangers, who are so worth so much that most people think of them as walking dinars......

Leon's solution is simple, he wants to lead the Noldor rangers to reinforce the border, let the Noldor fight alongside the humans, and let the Noldor protect the villagers in the war. With this real battlefield friendship, everyone in the border area can see the dedication of the Noldor elves to humanity.

Yes, the effort is two-sided, Leon is leading his subordinates to fight bloodshed for the safety of the Noldor race, so he has won the trust of the Noldor elves.

Then, if the Noldors also fight to protect human civilians, then they will naturally be recognized by humans, and at least they will be able to appear openly in the territory of Leon and his allies, such as White Deer Castle and Shield Fortress.

And in this way, it can also solve the problem that Leon himself faces—if the Noldor help the people of the Lion Realm to fight, then the lord can openly claim that the Noldor tribe is his ally, and will not be hostile and attacked by anyone.

There may still be people who covet the beauty of the Maiden Rangers, but at least, people will no longer see Noldor as a demon, and they will no longer feel proud to capture Noldor as a slave at will.

After taking this crucial step, the Noldor elves will have a real future.

Originally, it was okay to only bring those young rangers to reinforcements, and Vendatil had already agreed in the early hours of the morning.

However, the Lord Lords intend to take this opportunity to include more of the Noldor tribe and fight alongside more human forces, which will greatly speed up the integration of the Noldor Elves into Leon's territory.

Of course, the lord had another intention that he did not tell Vendatier - he wanted to get the Noldors accustomed to fighting under his own leadership, to fight under his griffon banner.

"It's only natural to help my allies, and I'm able to restrain my men, but I'm a little worried about the reaction of others...... Lord Leon, I mean the human soldiers of the Lion Kingdom, will they attack us? ”

Noyer is not against working together, but it's normal for him to have such concerns.

"If I lead the army, you and the Noldor warriors will hold my banner in this battle and listen to my orders for the time being, basically there will be no problems...... I've written to tell my allies that there will be Noldor Elves working together. ”

The lord held out his hand and motioned for Risadiran to hand the griffon banner to Noyer.

Noyer stretched out his hand to take it, and after a moment of silence, nodded, "I will obey your command, Lord Leon, but I hope that my people will not suffer too many casualties as a result." ”

"I will try to reduce casualties as much as possible...... Rest assured, I never fight battles that I am not sure of. ”

The lord was extremely serious from beginning to end this time.

Noyer can also understand that some efforts are necessary, and there will inevitably be sacrifices in battle.

But it is indeed necessary in order for the Noldor and humans to live together under the same blue sky.

……

A few days later, Fort Shield welcomed an unimaginably strong reinforcement.

Nearly four hundred Noldor elves, as well as six hundred human troops, totaled about a thousand.

At this moment, this army of 1,000 people is all flying the battle flag of a golden griffin on a black background.

This strong army was led by Li Ang and was divided into five teams.

The first team is the young Noldor Ranger led by Vendatier, and they are all equipped with the newly acquired Gatto horses - Amy shared the dirt with them during the last robbery, and let each of these Noldor Ranger choose one, and the rest go to the stables of White Hart Castle......

The second team is the regular army of the Aino family led by Noyer, including four Twilight Knights, a dozen Noldor nobles, more than fifty Noldor rangers, and more than a hundred Noldor warriors.

The third squad is the lord's own troops, a mixed force of nearly two hundred men led by Sir Roland, which is a non-commissioned officer unit tied to the lord's land group responsibility system.

The fourth team was led by Raphael, and the horns of about two hundred men summoned the Rangers.

The fifth team is led by Amy and Sarah, and this is a special unit - two hundred female explorers.

To be honest, these five troops are rare elites in the entire continent, and most of them are not loyal to Leon, but at least they are all willing to fight under Leon's banner - the lord has actually quietly accumulated the strength equivalent to a duke.

Leon didn't even use the garrison at Fort White Hart, nor the guards that Godric had left for Amy.

Those female explorers are from the Griffon's Sword mercenary group.

To be precise, it comes from the Griffon's Sword mercenary group without Mirgan.

Sarah brought them back.

Sarah's persuasiveness may not be as good as Leon's, but no one can resist her ability to empathize when her true feelings are revealed - when women scold the same scumbag together, they must quickly become best friends......

The Griffon's Sword mercenary group had been waiting for news from Mirgan in Trubrun, and they were already depressed because they had killed and injured a large number of their companions due to Mirgan's personal actions.

Later, they heard that Milgan had left them and fled to Bonelda, Lion Lake, and they felt as if Milgan had abandoned them.

It wasn't long before he heard that Mirgan had been hunted down and fled 'in order to marry Nerda......

Yes, that's what it looks like in the eyes of these women. Their focus is not on power and conspiracy at all, but on Mirgan's marriage to Nerda, and being hunted down because of Nerda......

As a result, the women of the Griffon's Sword mercenary group cursed, and all claimed that they would castrate him if they saw Mirgan again.

But before Mirgan was castrated, they always had to eat......

So these two hundred or so female warriors who originally belonged to the Griffon's Sword mercenary group have now become the mercenaries of Fort White Hart, with Amy as the employer and Sarah as the leader.

Perhaps the idea that these women had emasculated someone was unreliable, and if they saw Mirgan again, it was hard to believe that they would change their minds......

But at least for now, most women are willing to follow Sarah to Amy for a living first.

In fact, I'm afraid no one can find Mir Gan now, and that guy doesn't know where to flee to, maybe he has already left the Lion Realm.

Amy is interested in the experiences of female explorers and is willing to hire them, in fact, Amy has long wanted to build a female army, and now she has achieved her wish.

And those horns summoned the Rangers, fifty of whom were the Rangers who followed Ralph to Fort White Hart. The other hundred, more than a hundred, were summoned by Raphael from various villages along the way.

The fifty or so Rangers who followed Ralph's Horn to summon the Rangers officially became the lords of the Mai Xiang Collar upon Leon's return, as they had no property of their own.

But the rest of the Ranger had their own homestead estate, and they didn't need to go to anyone else.

After being dispersed by Duke Alma to various villages, the Horn Summoning Rangers did not regroup, and this powerful armed force is now actually scattered back home.

They don't have a leader now, and they don't intend to deal with Grandon in Long River......

After all, Grandlon was also a nobleman of the kingdom, and he did not plague the town of Long River.

Just as Alma had illegally occupied River, Grandlon's occupation of Rivertown was an internal struggle among the nobles of the kingdom, and as long as they did not plague River, the Ranger would not be involved.

But in the face of foreign enemies, it was different, after learning that there was a possible invasion of foreign enemies, the members of the Ranger Regiment responded to Raphael's clarion call and joined the team, gathering more than 200 people all the way north.
