In Monserun, a grand banquet is taking place.

After a long two-week march, Fred finally arrived at Montseron with reinforcements from Trois-Rivières.

In addition to the elite soldiers, there are also many powerful professionals, among them, the sixth-order professionals who are loyal to the Morris family are specially here to protect Fred.

Previously, Count Wright personally took action to capture the heir of Count Marcus, he didn't want his son to be caught on the battlefield, even if Fred was not the heir now, but spreading it would undoubtedly greatly affect his reputation.

Just like Count Marcus, a large part of the reason why the Northern Alliance dared to launch a desperate counterattack was that he learned that his heir had been arrested, and thought that Count Marcus was just terrifying on paper.

A lesson from the past, a lesson from the back, Earl Wright naturally would not make the same mistake.

At about the same time as Fred's departure, Count Wright wrote a letter of war by hand, handed it to Count Marcas's heir, and released him along with several noble captives, arranging for an elite escort to be sent to Erdo Castle.

Since he was preparing to officially start the war, pinching the other party's heir and causing problems with his reputation was not what Count Wright wanted.

What he wants is to defeat Count Marcus in a dignified manner and prove his strength, so as to gain a certain say in the next changes in the situation in the kingdom. His goal is to replace the declining Eastern Grand Duke family and become the voice of the eastern part of the kingdom.

In Montseren, Fred's arrival was warmly welcomed, and the vast majority of the lords of the Overwatch Alliance were still in Montseron at the moment, and the Ferrol Valley on the front line was ruled by a Baron friend of Mor.

They all learned that Fred was coming with reinforcements, and they stayed in Montelon to wait for Fred.

First, it was to see how many reinforcements Trois-Rivières sent and how effective they were. Second, it is to investigate Fred and see if Fred has any hope in the heir dispute.

After seeing the reinforcements from Trois-Rivières, the barons of the Watch Alliance were confident that the war would unfold next. Although the number of reinforcements is not large, they are all elite, and there are even elite professionals who directly belong to the Morris family, and it is obvious that Earl Wright does not use them as cannon fodder.

That alone is enough to put them at ease.

As for the investigation of Fred, there are little calculations of the barons. Previously, in Trois-Rivières City, although the heir of Count Wright had become a well-known fool, and each son also had his own thoughts, Count Wright did not nod, and in the case of not being able to figure out Count Wright's thoughts, the barons were at most in private at most, and did not dare to blatantly support a certain person.

But now, Earl Wright's closest squire has let out his words, and will examine several sons in the next time, and choose the most suitable one as the heir.

In the eyes of the barons, this is the fact that Count Wright finally accepted the fact that his eldest son was crippled, and also thought about the future. Although no matter who it is, a son who has been cultivated for many years and has excellent talent has instantly become a wasted person, and he is emotionally unacceptable, but in any case, as a nobleman, even if he is emotionally unacceptable, he must face reality.

The news revealed by Earl Wright is undoubtedly that he has completely given up hope of waiting for his eldest son to recover.

At this juncture, Fred, as the son of the first earl to lead troops into battle, would undoubtedly be of great interest to the baron.

You must know that even if Earl Wright does not have many sons, after the eldest son is abolished, the other sons are regarded as strong contenders for the heir, but Fred's cold stove, but Claire is only burning it alone, you can understand how much the nobles up and down the Three Rivers City are not optimistic about Fred.

It's no wonder that, in terms of personal strength, for a long time, Fred was only a first-order magician. The status of a magician is higher than that of ordinary professionals, and his strength is also stronger, but only a first order is obviously not enough.

Secondly, for a long time, Fred has not liked to make friends for a long time, and he has no personal power at all, plus his mother has passed away and there is no support from his mother's family, so of course he is not favored.

But to the surprise of the nobles of Trois-Rivières, Fred, who had always been unfavorable, actually showed his grandeur during this time, and faintly had a tendency to become the heir ahead of the sons of other counts.

First of all, Fred's personal follower Claire, who had shown his prowess before, had great personal strength and potential, and was favored by Earl Wright, and at this time he also became a baron with a large territory, making up for the shortcomings of Fred's power.

Secondly, Fred has become a third-order magician in a short period of time, you know, he has been stuck in the position of a first-order magician for more than ten years.

In the end, it was Earl Wright who valued it. The significance of sending his son on the expedition is obviously extraordinary, and the first person to go on the expedition is often the one that Earl Wright is most optimistic about and wants to cultivate vigorously. But no one expected that it would be Fred.

At this moment, the nobles of Trois-Rivières City were all suspicious that the rumors they had heard before, and what they saw Fred showing, might all be fake, and they were all Fred's disguise.

Previously, many people, including Earl Wright, still had a trace of illusions about whether Earl Wright's eldest son could recover, so Fred naturally behaved unobtrusively.

And now, the situation is already obvious, Fred naturally did not pretend and showed his strength. Others are not waste, but have been keeping a low profile, making everyone let their guard down, until now it is a blockbuster, only to find that Fred is still quite worth the investment.

The third-order magician, it is rumored that he has a good relationship with the great magician of the Morris family, and there is a baron like Claire who can fight, even if he can't become the heir in the end, he will have a lot of say in the Morris family and in Trois-Rivières City in the future.

Therefore, throughout the banquet, there were frequent nobles who made overtures like Fred, and their tones were full of various hints, including many nobles from Trois-Rivières.

It's a pity that their cold stove burned a little late.

Fred showed no signs of courtship to the nobles, and did not even show much emotional fluctuation, his whole enthusiasm and attention were focused on Claire.

After finally dealing with another wave of nobles, Fred looked around the field and found Claire in a corner, who was hiding from eating.

Fred's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly walked towards Claire with a wine glass.

Fred was the center of attention, even overshadowing the light of the banquet host Moore, and many people noticed his move.

When they saw the figure that Fred was looking for with a smile and saw who it was, many people sighed and shook their heads in their hearts.

Oh yes, this Baron Claire, I'm too lucky. Not to mention that he was favored by Earl Wright before, and he became a baron with such a big fief, just talking about the friendship with Fred that he grew up with, many people can't compare.

You can't envy others for burning the stove early, after all, who can befriend the son of an earl from childhood like him.

"Yes, Claire!" Fred walked over to Claire and feigned anger. "I've worked so hard to come all the way here just to see you, and I have a lot to say to you. I didn't find you after looking for a long time, so I secretly hid here with a beautiful woman and was chic and happy, right? ”
