Hearing Edward's "conditions", even Gragus, who was smiling at the beginning, did not look very good, and his originally flattering expression immediately sank, almost suppressing his anger, and he hesitated for a long time before he spoke: "Your Excellency the Chief Flag Officer, you are forcing us to a dead end!"

"If you can't break with the traitors, how can you prove your loyalty to the kingdom?" Edward took it for granted, and sneered lightly, "Either be loyal to the kingdom of Turin, or become a rebel - you better choose for yourself!"

"But that's our kindred, and even Lord Berrion Marchelus in the past never forced us to turn our swords on our brothers!" shouted the messenger who claimed to be Gracchus, "We can provide you with the supplies you need if they don't go to war with the Hantu, but we will never do anything that goes against the teachings of our ancestors!"

"Of course you can, after all, the teachings of our ancestors are the laws we follow. The corners of Edward's mouth furled, and he spread his hands seemingly relaxedly. Gragu breathed a sigh of relief, and before his complexion could recover much, the black-haired knight in front of him suddenly roared out in anger: "Do you treat me as a fool?!"

"Your Excellency the Chief Flag Officer......"

"Shut up!" Edward changed his pleasant face and glared at him angrily: "The Hanntus don't fight the Hanntus - then why do we keep you, what do you think of the kingdom?!"

"But ......" Gracchus was a little confused - he didn't know what had happened to this "chief flag officer", whether his attitude was not good enough, or whether the other party already knew that the tribe had ...... No way, no way. Only the Great Chief knew about it except himself. Even the few Akama clan warriors behind him didn't know anything.

"Nothing. This war has already shocked the whole of Turin, even His Majesty Horace is furious, and the ministers of the kingdom are also very indignant, your only choice is to choose the right future for yourself as soon as possible, draw a line with the rebels, and put down this terrible chaos for the kingdom as soon as possible, so that the whole land can return to peace!"

Edward's tone was impassioned, and even his eyes flashed with the brilliance of "justice". Gragu couldn't help but swallow his saliva, but the Chief Flag Officer didn't have the slightest intention of stopping: "Make a choice now, is it an enemy or an ally?!"

By this time, the envoy could no longer even say a word, and stared at Edward with a gloomy face: "I must warn you again, Your Excellency the Chief Flag Bearer, you are facing the most powerful clan and the most powerful tribe in the entire Green River Valley!"

"Then I'll warn you once, Gracchus. Edward was unceremonious: "You are facing the heir of the kingdom under the light of the radiant cross." The banner of His Highness Anson Marcherus, Duke of Hantu City, if you dare to make a noise, I will let you know what a sad thing it is to be born into this world!"

"Do you want to go to war?!"

"Nope. Edward denied. But soon he stared at him and shouted: "But the people of Turin will never accept any kind of provocation, no matter who it is, no matter what name it is!"

"It seems that you are ready to meet death, right?" Gragu no longer had his original flattery, and only sneers and anger remained on his face: "Do you think that with more than a hundred Sacred Tree Knights, and that legion that even the babies of Hantu can't beat, you can fight against the Red Horse Clan?!"

"You can just give it a try. ”

As he said this, Edward had already pressed his right hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist - just this action, when he saw the eyes of the man in front of him, Gracchus, who had been a mercenary for many years, immediately felt an inexplicable danger, it was almost like encountering a blood wolf in the wilderness!

"I will convey your words to the Great Chief!" Gracchus immediately made a final decision, and as soon as he said this, he turned around and galloped away, taking the dozen or so horsemen with him. Edward froze where he was, his dark pupils never leaving the figure of the guy named Gracchus, until the other man disappeared into the army on the hillside, and then he turned away.

The army gathered on the opposite hillside also began to leave quickly, and after confirming that the other party was indeed retreating, looking at His Excellency the Chief Flag Officer who had returned alone, the soldiers of the entire Green River Valley fortress erupted in extremely enthusiastic cheers, and everyone spared no effort to raise the flags and weapons in their hands and shouted loudly, one by one they looked ecstatic, and they were simply glad that they had escaped death again.

Look at those fools who don't have the guts, and then quietly our chief flag officer, who has frightened the damned barbarians on the other side to flee in just a few words! The eyes of all the soldiers who looked at Edward began to change-if at first they only looked at their own saviors and nobles, but now they had a little more reverence, and they really began to develop a willingness to "allegiance".

Even Herty, who was always fierce and just unwilling to leave, began to shout slogans like "Long live Edward Witwood" with the soldiers around him, and even encouraged the soldiers of the Second Flag Regiment under his command to open their voices and shout to suppress the rest of the Flag Regiment!

Looking at Miss Alan, who was red-faced and happy for Edward, she was even cheering loudly with her sword, only Marco Tasker was sinking into the water, and even a little playful - only he knew what Edward wanted most, this guy would never choose to avoid war or let the Red Horse clan surrender, only war could achieve his wish.

He didn't go to persuade him to surrender, he was 10,000 percent to provoke or even go to war! The silver-haired wizard standing at the city gate saw very clearly, if the messenger didn't choose to leave in the first place, Edward would definitely kill him without hesitation!

Well, Marco Tasker was even starting to look forward a little - how lucky would the lucky ones survive in the end, a hundred or two hundred? The silver-haired wizard's little eyes rolled and stopped at the black-haired knight's back.

Edward was not so leisurely at this time, and when he returned to the fortress, he immediately grabbed Lybinus, who was still in the cavalry, and asked in a suppressed voice: "How long will it take to get from the settlement of the Red Horse Clan to the fortress?!"

"Uh...... This is uncertain, if it is a person riding a horse, it will take six or seven days at the earliest. Liberdinus was a little confused, and wondered why Edwards asked this: "Of course, if it is an army it will be much longer - why do you ask this?"

Edward's expression immediately darkened...... I was deceived, the enemy on the opposite side was definitely not the army of the Red Horse Clan, they were just bluffing, I am afraid that it was just the stragglers of the war tribes who were defeated by themselves a few days ago were gathered and brought those few trolls.

This is why the other side has been humiliated by themselves and has no courage to attack - because they are really not sure whether they really have the capital to defend the fortress, after all, this barbarian army has only been defeated once a few days ago, and I am afraid that when they face the fortress of the Green River Valley again, they will not be as confident as before.

"There is still a month left in the middle of summer, and then winter is approaching - the enemy will not attack us at this time, and the entire Battle Banner Legion must immediately enter combat readiness and intensify training!"

"Why?" Clerk Virgil looked at the officers behind him who were still rejoicing, stepped forward and asked, "As long as we hold out until after the harvest season, those barbarians will no longer want me to fight fortresses, and the barbarians will not go to war in winter." ”

"That's why we're going to cut off their two claws before that, and then strangle their lifelines in the snow. There was a hint of urgency in Edward's words: "This will be our best fight!" (To be continued.) )

PS: Seeing the support of so many book friends, it really makes me cry...... Before New Year's Day, I was so busy that I didn't sleep all night, but yesterday and this morning I was almost completely asleep, and the update was also procrastinating, so I apologized to everyone!
