Chapter 25: Calculation

The arrival of the "Declaration of Territory Merger Battle" shows that the person behind the scenes, Lord Denham of Iron Mountain, has no longer concealed himself, and has stepped from the shadows to the light.

In fact, from Lord Denham's point of view, there is really no need to continue to hide behind the scenes.

The original lord of the Blackstone Lord, Jace Turumbel, has been confirmed missing, and the lord's son, Roy Turumbel, was taken away by the temple on suspicion of colluding with the wandering witch, and the shadow witch's attack on the temple prison cart further confirmed the fact that Roy colluded with the wandering witch.

You know, the Shadow Witch is not a recorded service witch, but a wandering witch.

Even if it is not the same as the Ice Witch that Roy is rumored to collude with, as long as it is a wandering witch, it is enough to confirm the rumors that Roy, the son of the Blackstone Lord, has colluded with the wandering witch.

In this way, even the Empire will not confer the title of Lord Roy and the title of lord under such "conclusive evidence".

That is to say, in the case that neither the Blackstone Lord nor Roy, the son of the lord who is legally eligible for inheritance, "disappears", the Blackstone Domain has no resistance to the Iron Mountain Lord.

in the room.

Roy groaned, his eyes lit up slightly, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Territory Merger Battle Declaration, so you fought with this idea......"

Knowing the purpose of Lord Denham, Lord of Iron Mountain, Roy was relieved.

The unknown is the most terrifying.

This kind of thing with a clear purpose and a clear enemy is not terrible.

Now, the position of light and darkness on both sides of the enemy has been replaced, and in this "battle of territorial merger", who wins and who loses is still a matter of two words.

Lord Denham, the Lord of Iron Mountain, is trying to annex the Blackstone Territory through the "Battle of Territorial Mergers", and he is wondering how to deal with the Iron Mountain Territory in a "reasonable and legal way".

The battle for the merger of territories, in Roy's opinion, is a great opportunity.

There is an unwritten rule in the battle of the Territory Merger, in which the knights of the annexed territories will not be held accountable even if they accidentally kill the enemy nobles in the resistance.

In the final analysis, the "war of territorial annexation" is an unjust war of aggression, and it would be too much to say if the invaded side was limited to even resist.

If, in the "Battle of the Territory Merger" three days later, he kills or captures Lord Denham, the Lord of Iron Mountain, then not only can he find fault with it legally, but other nobles will not be able to say anything morally.

The reason why he had the intention of capturing Lord Denham was because Roy still had some doubts in his heart.

He always felt that the "Territory Annexation War" launched by Lord Denham, the Lord of Iron Mountain, against the Blackstone Lord, was by no means as simple as it seemed.

A series of thoughts flowed through his mind, and Roy looked up at Red:

"Uncle Red, please deal with the Iron Mountain Leader Knight who came to the door, just 'react normally'."

"After that, you lead the knights to 'prepare for battle', and I will arrange the rest."

"Yes!" Red nodded in response, then turned to leave.

Roy touched his chin, walked to the desk in the room and sat down, and began to analyze the current combat strength of both the enemy and the enemy.

If you don't count the witches, there are two bronze knights in the Iron Mountain Domain, namely Lord Denham, the Iron Mountain Lord of the three-star Bronze, and his squire knight, the one-star Jax.

On the side of the Black Stone Collar, there is only one Bronze Horseman, who is the two-star Rayder.

As for the bronze and below, the number of knights in the two territories is about the same, in the appearance of more than thirty, the difference is that the Iron Mountain Collar is backed by a large iron mine, the foundry industry is prosperous, and the armor and weapons of the knights under its command are relatively sophisticated, but the Black Stone Collar itself also has iron ore and blacksmiths, so the gap is not large.

And the witch on the surface, the service witch of the two territories is now on the verge of getting out of control, if Lord Denham is not crazy, it is impossible to send Vivien, the witch of light, to fight.

After all, once the witch gets out of control and turns into a monster, it will do no harm to Lord Denham.

Purely based on the data on paper, in this "battle of territory merger", the chances of the Blackstone Territory winning are almost none.

The biggest gap comes from the serious shortage of high-level combat power.

The Bronze Horseman, although not worth mentioning in the eyes of the witch, is actually an extremely powerful existence, and can easily win against a dozen or ten official knights.

Red's combat effectiveness is not weak, and now that he has the secret technique of breathing, his combat power will inevitably reach a higher level after mastering it, but Tie Shan has two bronze knights, among which Lord Denham is a seasoned knight who has been immersed in the bronze three-star level for nearly ten years.

One-on-one, Red is hardly his opponent, let alone two-on-one.

This is also the confidence of the Iron Mountain Collar to eat the Black Stone Collar.

If the old lord of the Black Stone Leader was still there, the powerful strength of the Silver Knight would be intimidating to all directions, and no one would dare to show a trace of delusion, but now, ......

Roy's fingers tapped lightly on the desk, silently pondering.

Blackstone Collar's biggest hole card now is him, as well as several witches.

If you can find the right time, with the Ice Witch Ace taking action, you will definitely be able to solve Lord Denham quickly, but such an opportunity is difficult to find, there is a great possibility of exposure, and it is not worth it.

Secondly, it is himself.

He had three days to prepare after the declaration of the Territory Merge Battle was issued, and at his current pace, as long as he maintained at least 11 hours of breathing practice a day, it would be enough to advance to the Bronze rank before the battle began.

Of course, the real combat effectiveness of a "quick" Bronze Knight, like him, is no less than that of those Bronze Knights who have been trained hard, and the gap in weapon skills alone cannot be made up in a short period of time.

But he's not a pure knight.

The talent he possessed, [Infinite Desire], was now very weak, and it could only be activated with physical contact, and the upper limit of its capacity was very low, only a single amount of Dou Qi.

But when he progresses to the bronze ranks, things will be very different.

At that time, the [Infinite Desire] with a stronger effect will have the possibility of being used in actual combat!

Of course, Roy's own action is the last resort, after all, the [Infinite Desire] talent is not exposed in front of people, so try not to expose it, otherwise it will be a trouble to attract the intervention of the temple.

Therefore, if you want to win this "Territory Merger War", capture or kill Lord Denham, you must try to use other methods as much as possible.

And this method, Roy has now begun to lay out.

In the room, a deep glow flashed in the depths of Roy's eyes.

……

Iron Mountain Collar, Iron Mountain Fortress.

In the study, Lord Denham listened to the news that "Red Raid, the captain of the Iron Mountain Lord, expelled him with a strong attitude" reported by his subordinates to the returning knights of the "Declaration of Territory Merger Battle", nodded expressionlessly, and then waved his hand to retreat.

When the knight left the study, Lord Denham was about to do something, when suddenly, his expression moved, and his eyes turned to the shadows in the corner of the room.
