As a branch of the Ordovician family, Meno, who became a baron of the Vale collar half a year ago, never imagined that he would have such an embarrassing day.

Behind him was the Baron Nils, the baron of the original territory who had sold him the blue collar in the first place.

A knight of a small family with no name at all.

But a few days ago, everything was different.

The other party actually dared to come to the door and asked him to sell the territory back to him at the original price, claiming that the territory was forcibly bought and sold by unjust means.

For this impudent and ridiculous reason, Meno rejected without question, and asked his men to expel him.

However, he never expected that a few days later, the other party would forcibly attack his castle with soldiers and launch a war against him!

Not only that, but Nils also wielded a force he couldn't comprehend, flying from the ground and leaping over the walls of his castle.

The terrifying force demoralized his soldiers, leading to the current rout.

"Merno, hand over the deed of assignment of the territory! I'll let you and your soldiers go! ”

Nils rode after him, staring at him coldly, not trying to raise his hand to use his strength.

His purpose is very clear, that is, to take back his territory, and he does not want the other party's life.

After all, Meno has a special status, and if he dies, it will cause him serious trouble.

"You are defiantly provoking the laws of the kingdom! The blue collar has long since become my territory, and you and your heretical power will be judged by the king and the church! ”

Meno glared back at him angrily.

"No, you don't understand. I can feel the power of the ancestors boiling in my blood, this is the blood of the legendary hero! I will regain the glory of the heroes of my ancestors and stand at the apex of the continent! Instead of being feared, Nils burst out laughing.

"What's more, the King? Do you mean the perfidious king of fraud? He doesn't care if you live or die! ”

The anger and hatred in Nils' eyes were undisguised at the mention of Edson.

"Damn, they're all the sons of the earls, so you might as well ask me to be the king!" Hearing that the threat was useless, Meno looked resentful and kept trying to speed up the warhorse.

At this time, he saw another group of people in the distance in the Valan River in the distance, and hurriedly ran there.

"Stop now!"

The five knights on duty who were in charge of the patrol took up their weapons, blocked the road, and shouted at the approaching crowd.

"I'm a royal! Stop the rebels behind me and I'll give you a lot of money as a reward! Meno shouted.

He led his men and continued to rush forward, without the slightest intention of stopping.

Nils, who was chasing after him, didn't take it seriously at all when he saw these people's messy mercenary costumes, and focused on Meno in front of him.

And after hearing him call himself royal, the five knights looked at each other and silently exchanged their raised swords for non-lethal shields.

The five knights clamped their legs to their horses, and then formed a wall of men in front of Meno and the soldiers around him.

Block Stance!

The war horse collided with the war horse and let out a terrible roar.

The shield in his hand blocked the opponent's swinging weapon, and then overturned them with men and horses in one fell swoop.

Meno, who had been flying in the air for a circle, fell to the ground, his eyes full of confusion, unable to understand what was happening.

And several soldiers who fell with him were lying on the ground weakly at the moment.

Seeing this, the rest of the men who followed in the rear hurriedly stopped their horses.

Dismounted, securing Meno in the middle, raised his weapon and stared nervously at the five knights.

And the pursuers who were chasing further behind, the cavalry who were blocking the way by them also stopped, and the eyes of Nils, who led the way, were surprised.

"Isn't that the point you are doing?" Seeing that Meno suddenly began to wail heartbreakingly, one of the knights couldn't help but whisper to his companions.

"I didn't even use my strength, otherwise he wouldn't even have the strength to scream now." Companions are helpless.

Suddenly met the same clan of adults, and he was more afraid of accidents than the other party.

Nils, who arrived at this time, shouted loudly:

"Good! I am the hero of the awakening of our time, Nils, the lord of the blue collars! Where are you mercenaries? Give me your name and I'll consider you joining my team. ”

Nils put his palm down, and the swirling air currents surged, allowing him to take off from his warhorse and stand in mid-air looking down at the five knights.

Ever since awakening the blood of heroes, he has considered himself a formidable hero from a knight. Ordinary people were unable to resist in the face of his strength, and the road to regaining the territory was even smoother, even if they encountered five knights, they were still undaunted.

He raised his palms to them, the air agitated, waiting for a reply.

But before he could continue, a stone suddenly flew out.

Piercing the cyclone in front of him, it smashed into his stomach, and the majestic impact attached to it knocked him down.

"Flying into the sky, isn't that a target?" Ed, who came from behind, was inexplicable.

He came to Nils, who had fallen, and took out a needle and inserted it, drawing a large tube of blood from it, encapsulating it in a quartz tube.

Looking at the other soldiers who were coming towards him, Ed cleared his throat and yelled.

"Get out!"

The earth-shattering roar turned into a solid wave.

The frightened horses began to jump and neigh uncontrollably, and finally turned around and galloped.

The soldiers who remained on the ground were temporarily deaf from the shock in their heads, and they fell to the ground dizzily.

The five knights had already seen that the situation was not good, and they distanced themselves from each other.

"Leave them all away." Ed twisted his neck in displeasure, said to the knight, and then went back to report to Ronan.

Taking the quartz tube that Ed handed over, Ronan confirmed the seal and kept it.

"The upper nobles haven't moved yet, but the small and medium-sized nobles below have begun to mess up." Ronan thought to himself as he kept an eye on the fish soup.

Scenes like what happened to Meno are probably not uncommon in today's kingdom.

The betrayed merchants and nobles no longer believe in the new king.

It is impossible to accept the outcome of their elimination, which eventually leads them to choose to resort to force.

And they're just the beginning.

After the Black Death raged, it caused a large number of civilian casualties, resulting in a severe shortage of labor in agriculture, handicrafts, mining, logging and other industries, and the population was in urgent need of replenishment.

But there are only so many people in the empire, and the population of the major territories has long been divided.

The path overseas has not been easy, at least so far, with no major islands or landmasses being discovered.

The overseas archipelagos that are now discovered need to sustain the cultivation and harvest of trade goods, and it is difficult for the population to feed the empire.

It won't be long before those big nobles will start to act.

If you can't find an opportunity outside, then you can only shuffle the cards internally and re-divide the cake.
