It was not so easy for Baron Fontaine the Younger to break away from the Duke's vassal system and join the Duke of Glasburg. Duke Blue Wolf is about to start a war with the outside world, and obviously will not deal with the issue of the barony in the near future, not to mention that there is such a special person as Viscount Sim mixed in. But the Duke was able to ignore it for a while, but Richard couldn't.

Given the key position of the barony's domain, a little Baron Fontaine who stood on the side of Glasburg was a great threat to Richard. When the ransom was received and Viscount Sim was released, Richard had no bargaining chips in his hands to make Baron Fontaine Jr. surrender except by force. Viscount Shim's side will probably be at peace for a while because of the truce of the defeated side. And the barony's weakened state is expected to end soon, as the Duke of Grassburg will inevitably send reinforcements soon. Richard did not say anything on the spot, and then took his leave and left Sir Shanton's residence.

Returning to his quarters, Richard plunged headlong into the rudimentary magical chamber in an attempt to complete the last fraction of the spell penetration construct. However, he tried several times to rally his spirit, but always failed. After almost losing the entire outfit, Richard simply stood up, stood in front of the window, and looked out the window at the vibrant forest, every detail of his brief time with Baron Fontaine, fighting side by side, flowed through the bottom of his heart.

Elegant and refined, the Château du Dusk shines brightly in the hands of the former Baron Fontaine. Every detail in the castle is impeccable, showing the baron's taste and meticulous care.

The wind blowing in the face carries the freshness of the grass and trees, and there is also a wisp of anxiety. It was the smell of the shrubs burned by the hired workers, and it also gave this pristine scenery a sense of war and gunsmoke.

"Fontaine, your son has really a problem for me!" Richard thought with a wry smile. "Did you foresee the situation when you put Sisoka in my hands?, but I prefer to believe that you are a man of instinct......"

After a long time, Richard collected his mood and silently thought in his heart: "Okay, Fontaine, you guy has won." I will protect the castle of dusk that you left behind, and I will also help your son eradicate the cancer in the family. Let's just decide, who made me owe you your life?"

At this hour, Richard did not realize that his real age was in fact only two years older than Baron Fontaine the Younger.

With that up to his mind, Richard's mood settled down a lot, and he returned to the real yàn room to complete the construction of the second-order spell penetration in one go, and loaded it on the construction position on his chest. In his dedicated work, Richard quietly completed the transformation from a quasi-constructor to a constructor.

Now, all Richard needed to do was wait, waiting for the Chim's family to redeem him.

The wait was longer than Richard had expected, but when Count Eugen, Viscount Sim's uncle, appeared in front of Richard with a convoy of twenty trucks, he knew why the Count had arrived three days late.

It seems that Viscount Sim still knows his people, and when he knows that the family envoy has lost his time, he has no fear at all, and proudly and arrogantly says that there will definitely be a ransom worthy of his noble unicorn viscount status, which will open the eyes of the country knights. This time, the viscount finally remembered to suffix the descriptor with the noble title of knight. Richard couldn't help but laugh and cry, and couldn't help but ask, is the Viscount family very accustomed to paying ransom?

The truck was so heavy that Richard wondered what it was carrying. It seems that the goods were also part of the ransom of Viscount Shim.

Earl Eugen has fair skin, similar to Viscount Sim, and is a striking sign of the royal bloodline of the Sequoia Kingdom. Eugen had just turned forty, and his ornate aristocratic gown was adorned with finely crafted jewels. The Count also brought with him a guard of three hundred men, all of whom were elite royal guards light cavalry. Even against an earl's army, this staggering light cavalry is a formidable deterrent.

Richhard, who had been informed, took a combination of barbarian warriors and grenadiers and went to expel Count Eugen.

Count Eugen stood tall on his horse, and behind him, the guards hussars with clearly shining armor formed a three-column horizontal formation, and put on a charging position. And behind the hussars, there was the private army of two hundred counts. Although their gold and red armor was equally shiny, Richard could tell at a glance that the Earl's private army was wearing chain mail, and most of the soldiers were less than level five. The equipment of this private army is inferior to that of Baron Fosa's elite troops, and it cannot be compared with the Guards Light Cavalry, which has reached an average level of nine.

If this private army hadn't appeared, Richard would probably have taken a high look at Count Eugen. Now, though, Richard is clearly not prepared to lose to his opponent in momentum. He stopped his horse a hundred meters from the earl, and with a wave of his hand behind him, fifteen heavily armored barbarian warriors lined up in a line, forming a steel defensive line. Behind them, there were as many as seventy grenadiers. These troglodyte-looking throwers are no match for Count Eugen's private army, but their abilities are only known to Viscount Sim, who has experienced them firsthand.

Seeing Richard in such an aggressive posture, Count Eugen snorted heavily, rode forward, and came to the center of the two armies' fronts, before shouting: "Sir Richard!"

"Count Eugen. Unlike Eugen's deep and stern voice, Richard seemed very calm and calm, but the cold arrogance in his tone was no worse than that of Count Eugen.

Count Eugen's face was visibly filled with anger, and he asked coldly: "Sir Richard, I don't know which famous family you come from!"

"Akmund. ”

Count Eugen's jaw quietly raised, and he said arrogantly: "I have never heard of such a surname as Akmund in a famous family in the mainland. ”

"Akmund has never been famous, it hasn't been around for a long time. Richard said. Indeed, Akmund, which has been inherited for less than a thousand years, is not a long history, but in the war-torn Norland, combat power is the first criterion for measuring a wealthy family. Only when the combat power is equal will history be taken into account.

Count Eugen obviously did not know the difference between Norland and Farrow, and when he heard Richard's answer, he sneered a few times and said, "It turned out to be a country nouveau riche!"

Richard kept a seductive smile on his face, but he didn't have the slightest intention of backing down. In the face of Count Eugen's provocation and insult, he only replied lightly: "Indeed, I am just an upstart who can catch the viscount." ”
