Chapter 82: Fred, Please

Inside the Magic Tower in Trois-Rivières, Fred is packing his belongings.

Mike on the side, nibbling on an apple, looked at each other leisurely, and said casually.

"Why are you so troubled, going to the battlefield is risky, you are not afraid of losing your life, then you can't do it."

Hearing Mike's words, Fred's hand movement paused slightly, turned his head and glared at the other party, and said dissatisfied.

"What you said is that we are a noble family, isn't it normal for nobles to fight? If it weren't for our ancestors who fought bravely on the battlefield, how could there be such a great foundation? You're saying this very well, don't say it again next time! ”

"Okay." Mike shrugged, looking unconcerned. "I don't think our ancestors worked so hard to make us live the same life as them. Alas, this person, he just doesn't know how to be satisfied, all of them are nobles, why do they still think about fighting and killing every day, can't they live a good life as they do? ”

Fred ignored him at all, put his things in the storage ring, thought about it, picked up Mike, who was in the way, and put away the few newly made magic scrolls from the table.

"Anyway, I'm leaving, you don't give me something precious, such as the forbidden spell-level magic scroll that your grandfather gave you, give me two or three to save my life, or the legendary level."

"Huh!" Mike rolled his eyes and tossed the kernel to the side. "Forbidden spell level, legendary level, you really dare to think, don't talk about me about that thing, my grandfather doesn't have a few, no!"

"What's that?" Fred rubbed his hands together and looked at Mike expectantly.

Seeing this, Mike was so angry that he reluctantly took out two magic scrolls from the storage ring and handed them to Fred, with a painful face.

"That's it, I'm reluctant to use it myself, don't use it indiscriminately."

"What's this?" Fred snatched it up, felt the magic fluctuations of the seals in the two magic scrolls, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he asked with concern.

"Two high-level magic scrolls, one fire-attribute group attack magic, one defensive magic, one offense, one defense, even if you encounter a high-level professional, you can save your life." Mike stared at the scroll in Fred's hand with reluctance in his eyes.

"Oh, not bad, thank you then." Fred was not polite, and after understanding the purpose, he immediately received his storage ring, not giving Mike a chance to regret it, and gained a few white eyes from the other party.

"Hey, hey." Fred didn't get angry and smirked twice at Mike. "That's it, I'll go first!"

"Get out!" Mike replied angrily. "It's better to be safe, I don't want to collect your body, or take the money to ransom you!"

"I'm going to win." Fred waved his hand unconcernedly, walked out of the room, and quickly left the magic tower.

This time, Fred was going to follow the army to the vicinity of the Tiring River.

In fact, Count Wright was much more structured than Claire had thought, and after deciding to start a war with Count Marcus, he also decided to send reinforcements after learning that Count Marcus was likely to send a vanguard to recover the territory near the Tiling River.

The new barons had made good progress so far, taking over almost the entire area of the middle reaches of the Tilling that belonged to Count Marcas, but Count Wright was still very uneasy.

Although Count Wright is dissatisfied with the private expansion of the barons, this area, which is now the intersection of the two forces, is of great strategic significance. Even if you are dissatisfied with the barons, from a military point of view, it is definitely much better to occupy and consolidate this area than to take back this area from Count Marcas.

Of course, the number of the first batch of reinforcements is not much, only an army of five hundred, but these five hundred people are all elite soldiers of Three Rivers City, and their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.

As for the commander of this army, Earl Wright originally intended to use another commander of his own, but Fred offered to be in command of him.

Fred has already thought about it, since he has been involved in the battle for the heir, just like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, and if you want to win the position of heir, you can only show your ability, and this small battle is a good opportunity to show yourself.

Fred also grew up in contact with aristocratic education since he was a child, and he is not proficient in marching and fighting, but he also knows a little bit about it, and he is not very good at making low-level mistakes. Nor did he feel that he could lead an army against the battle-hardened commanders of Count Marcas.

Fred's idea was that weren't Claire and Wade over there, with their support, and the command was handed over to someone else, and if he was victorious, he also had the merit to take charge.

Earl Wright also figured out the reasoning, and finally made up his mind to let Fred lead the support army.

Fred, who was leading the soldiers, was very happy and began to look forward to the reunion with Claire, who must have been particularly surprised to see him.

Claire didn't know that Trois-Rivières had actually sent reinforcements, so he stayed in his territory for a few days, and after dealing with the matter at hand, he led the army to Montelon City according to the original plan.

Along the way, Claire passed through the territories of the three Overwatch Alliance Lords, and Claire was not idle along the way, constantly sending scouts to inquire about the situation of these territories. This is a good opportunity to learn about the strength of the surrounding lords, how can you miss it.

In normal times, such a large-scale spying on information would cause dissatisfaction among the local lords, who felt that it was a provocation, and perhaps a conflict would break out because of it. Wars between some nobles in the kingdom are often the reason why this seems insignificant.

But now, everyone is in the same camp, and even if others know about this kind of thing, they can only turn a blind eye and pretend that nothing has happened, and the enemy is still fighting among themselves, what a brainless thing it is.

In fact, not only Claire, but also the barons of the Watch Alliance did the same thing, and during this time of exchanging emissaries, many of those nominal emissaries were also spies.

This kind of thing, everyone knows it.

Through this period of mutual communication, the approximate strength of the thirteen barons of the Watch Alliance, the barons also know each other.

Judging from the size of the territory and the size of the army on the surface, Moore is indeed a well-deserved alliance leader, ranking first in strength. As for Claire, although she was the first to take the territory, due to the lack of family support, she did not expand her army aggressively, and there were many mercenary groups in the army, so her strength could only rank fourth.

Rao was like this, which also surprised many barons. You know, they all have more or less family support behind them, and Claire is alone. It must be that Earl Wright helped Claire too much in the early stage, and many people think so.

When Claire estimated her ranking, she was also greatly relieved. Fortunately, he was not in a hurry to expand his army, nor did he expand his territory too much, otherwise it would be too eye-catching if he got into the top three.

The fourth position is still a bit high in Claire's opinion, and it is best to be in the midstream, neither the weakest nor the strongest, so that it can continue to develop in a low-key manner in the following days.

After all, Claire has plenty of self-confidence, as long as he is given time, even if he is at the bottom now, there is enough time, and it is not a problem to become the most powerful baron in the entire kingdom.

After nearly five days, Claire finally arrived in Montseren.
