It doesn't help to think too much.

Now the situation in the entire limestone mountain is no longer up to Aldington to decide, he can only wait for the dragon knight Browning to kill Cobik Eternal and the pillar god shaman.

However.

At this moment, the starry net in the sky suddenly dispersed.

The dragon knight Browning looked up at the sky and muttered, "What does it mean that the Pillar God Shaman actually unraveled the spell?" ”

"My lord, what now?"

"Retreat, leave the Corolla Mountain Realm as soon as possible, you won't be able to exert the combat effectiveness of the Knights here. Go west, join the Knights on the Western Front, and then I'm going to the Grey Iron Castle to see why the Rock family dares to follow Maxwell to rebel against the Plantagenet, and where is the loyalty that Durotan swore away! ”

Under the escort of Browning, the knights of the entire camp were evacuated in an orderly manner. During the process, there was no sneak attack by the lich Kobik Eternity, nor was there a sneak attack by the pillar god shaman.

Half a day later, in a valley, he joined the Knights of the Western Front, and Aldington quickly found his own Iris Knights.

"Father!"

"Aldington!" Baron Aureno bowed slightly.

This was a time of war, so after the father and son greeted each other, they did not show any excitement about reunion after a long absence or escape from death, but only briefly said goodbye to each other, and then returned to their respective teams. Aldington still follows the Dragon Knight's servant knights.

After another day, the Knights finally walked out of the limestone mountain and saw the gray iron fortress standing at the foot of the mountain.

It's just that the golden flower flag that fluttered in the past has been replaced by a red flag embroidered with a curved curved pattern.

"It's ...... Danube! "Some knights saw what the curve meant.

"Is this the banner of the rebels?"

"With the Danube River as a pattern, this means that the dragon knight has occupied the entire Danube Plain?"

The original Danube Valley, which belonged to the territory of the Macedonian Kingdom, was called the Blue Danube Plain. Later, the Plantagenet Kingdom launched a war, took a bite, and called the piece of the bite the Golden Danube Plain. From then on, the two plains became known as the Danube Plain.

It is the most fertile land in the northeast of the Plantagenet Kingdom, and at the same time bordering the Mediterranean Sea, it is also the most fertile land in the Macedonian Kingdom.

It's just that because of the war, the degree of reclamation here is not high.

At this time, Browning had already ridden the Thorny Stegosaurus, flew into the sky, and was suspended above the Grey Iron Castle: "Durotan, come out and talk back!" ”

Before he could finish speaking, Duron Tanbomber had already appeared on the top of the tallest tower of the Grey Iron Castle and bowed slightly to Browning: "Welcome to the Grey Iron Castle as a guest of Lord Browning. ”

"Tell me why."

"Do you see this flag, it's called the Danube Red Flag, and it represents the birth of a new nation, the Grand Duchy of the Danube. Maxwell, the dragon knight, will ascend the throne as the first Grand Duchy of the Danube, which the Gallic Empire has already recognized. ”

"The Grand Duchy of the Danube, it's ridiculous, the duke is the duke, you have to call yourself the grand duke, Maxwell is just a dragon knight, what special qualifications do you have!" Browning sneered, he had enough reason to sneer, because he was a blood nobleman, and the other party was just an ordinary nobleman.

Durontan Bomber did not answer.

After Browning sneered, he continued to ask, "What is the situation in the Danube Province?" What territory do you rebels occupy? ”

"Little Versailles has changed its banner, and the entire Danube province of Plantagenet, together with the provinces of Volgog and Bryansk in Macedonia, has become part of the Grand Duchy of the Danube. Moreover, many of the primitive tribes of Lima Ridge have submitted to the Grand Duchy of the Danube and become vassals. ”

With the fertile lands of the three provinces, plus parts of the Lima Ridge, the new Grand Duchy of the Danube outnumbered many in terms of territory.

No wonder Maxwell, the self-proclaimed Grand Duke.

"What about Maxwell, where are the others?"

"The Grand Duke is in the city of Ulan, which is the new capital of the Grand Duchy of the Danube."

"Durontan, what benefit did Maxwell give you, a marquis, who willingly betrayed the Plantagenet Kingdom and took refuge in a nascent principality?"

"This is not a betrayal, the Earl of Greystone Mountain has the right to choose to follow any monarch. I am still willing to make friends with the Plantagenet Kingdom, the Grey Iron Castle still welcomes any Plantagenet nobles, and the gates and bazaars of the outer castle will not prohibit civilians from coming and going. ”

Browning was silent in mid-air.

Durotan said sincerely: "The situation has changed, the rise of the Grand Duchy of the Danube is unstoppable, Your Excellency Browning, please rest for a while in the Castle of Gray Iron, maybe soon Versailles will receive instructions from His Majesty Edward XII, whether to choose war or peace, it will be clear at that time." ”

……

In the end, Browning did not choose to attack the Grey Iron Castle, this castle is operated by a magic array, and even the dragon knights will not be able to attack it for a while.

But he didn't choose to rest in the Grey Iron Castle, but camped ten kilometers away, and then sent the rangers out to find out the news.

If the dragon knight does not enter, the other knights will naturally not go to the Gray Iron Castle to rest, even though the two sides are already in a state of war, they still maintain the greatest restraint before they get new orders. After setting up camp, Browning gathered all the noble lords and knight captains.

The meeting lasted a full hour in the tent.

When the meeting was over, Aldington approached Baron Aurenor: "Father." ”

"Go to your tent and talk."

"Okay."

Entering the camp tent and guarding the knights, Baron Aureno sighed heavily: "I'm afraid that things can't be changed, this involves the game between the Gallic Empire and the Plantagenet Kingdom and the Macedonian Kingdom, and at the same time, the God of War chieftain of Lima Xiongling participates, and the four sides wrestle, and the overall situation has been decided." ”

"Chief of the God of War?"

"In the inner mountains of Lima Xiongling, there are many powerful primitive tribes, which used to be scattered sand, but recently they were unified by a sword saint known as the god of war, imitating our knight kingdom and forming a council of chiefs. This god of war chieftain, who conspired with the Gallic Empire, supported the establishment of the Grand Duchy of the Danube. ”

"Will the knightly civilization compromise with the primitive tribes?" Aldington frowned.

"It's not a compromise, it's the surrender of the primitive tribes, and the Council of Chiefs sacrifices those small tribes and is ready to sell them in slavery, so as to ensure the interests of the large tribes in the inner mountains. Those countries across the Mediterranean, in dire need of a large number of slaves, had the Gallic Empire take the lead. ”

"In other words, the Grand Duchy of the Danube is the equivalent of a slave trading platform?"

"You are not wrong in this understanding, the countries north of the Mediterranean, especially the Gallic Empire and the Holy Byrlan Empire, are too powerful for the Plantagenet Kingdom to resist, and the Macedonian Kingdom to resist, so there is Maxwell's counterattack...... Perhaps, His Majesty the King will acquiesce in the existence of this Grand Duchy. ”

The strength of the empire is undoubted, and Plantagenet can't afford to provoke it, Aldington digested this information and asked, "Father, how should Red Leaf Town and Butterfly Castle deal with themselves?" ”
