From Baron to Lord

Albert inhaled sharply, his mind blank, filled only with shock and madness.

Albert quickly awoke from his shock. He knew clearly that he was already allied with Allen. Since that was the case, he could only fully support Allen's decisions.

Allen was merely having him occupy Amber Territory, which no longer had an Earl. This was not a problem for him at all.

Moreover, Albert had keenly sensed the current situation.

According to the information relayed by the Sky Knight, Albert discovered that the Earl of Amber had only fallen an hour ago.

In just one hour, the news of Amber Territory being without a master would definitely not have spread. At this moment, he had to seize every second to occupy Amber Territory and end the battle before others could react.

Once others reacted, even if they wanted to act, they would find it troublesome.

It must be said that the positions of Allen and Albert were excellent. Both of their territories were at the southernmost end of the Duchy. North of Allen was Steel Fist Territory, and beside him was Thistle Flower Territory.

Albert's Thistle Flower Territory bordered three Earl territories to the north: Steel Fist Territory, Amber Territory, and Earth Lizard Territory.

However, the two Earl territories of Steel Fist Territory and Earth Lizard Territory did not have much contact with Thistle Flower Territory. The territory with the most contact with Thistle Flower Territory was Amber Territory.

If they could really take down the five Earl territories, then further north would be Mad Lion Marquis Territory! 25 And its affiliated Earl territories. Given Allen's relationship with the Mad Lion Marquis, Albert felt that the other party would not directly launch an attack on their side.

In other words, if they controlled the five Earl territories, they would be facing Earth Lizard Territory and Iron Eagle Territory north of Earth Lizard Territory, as well as Green Deer Territory, Boulder Territory, and several other territories north of Steel Fist Territory.

In this way, it seemed that the pressure was not as great as imagined.

As long as they could firmly grasp the territory, Albert felt that they should not be easily provoked or attacked.

"Steward, give the order to have Viscount Ironwood lead another five thousand troops north again, and join up with Elon to fully cooperate with Marco in sweeping through Steel Fist Territory!"

Albert knew that Marco had broken through to become a Golden Knight. Since there was a Golden Knight, Albert did not need to leave the Earl territory.

After all, the most powerful combat force within an Earl's territory was the Earl.

If it were normal times, the Earls could move around freely.

However, once war arrived, the Earl, as the lord, had to protect the safety of the territory, and would not leave unless there were special circumstances.

Albert also explained Elon's marching route to the Sky Knight, and had the Sky Knight join up with Elon to explain the situation.

The Sky Knight listened and immediately turned to leave, riding the griffin into the sky and heading north.

Watching the Sky Knight leave, Albert felt some emotion. This Allen, he even had a griffin knight order.

This was the configuration of some kingdoms!

Inside Sky Wolf City, Thomas and the others were still recruiting soldiers. This was Allen's order. Now, five thousand people had been recruited and training had begun.

Without Allen's soldier training acceleration card, the training was obviously very slow at this moment.

However, Allen did not take this matter to heart.

In fact, he just wanted Thomas to gather enough people for him. As long as the northern battlefield stabilized, he would immediately return to use the soldier training acceleration card.

The more people there were at that time, the better.

Today, Thomas, who was originally the chief instructor, was not at the training ground. Another Silver Knight was training here.

When the Sky Knight landed on the training ground, it immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Lord Jackson! Where is Lord Thomas? I have Lord Allen's order to deliver!"

The Sky Knight saluted Jackson and then quickly asked.

Jackson was a Silver Knight with golden hair and a pair of blue eyes. He looked extraordinarily handsome, and it was said that he was a handsome man when he was young.

"Oh? Thomas? He seems to have reached the limit of a Silver Knight today and is in seclusion to break through..."

Jackson said with a hint of envy. Thomas was his old friend, and he could only envy him.

"Is that so? That's terrible. Lord Allen also has an order to give to Lord Thomas."

The Sky Knight sighed. He had just wanted Jackson to replace Thomas in accepting the mission when suddenly a strong wave of battle aura erupted in the distance.

A figure soared into the sky, laughing loudly!

"Thomas!"

Jackson's eyes lit up: "Good fellow, he broke through to become a Golden Knight at this time! That's great!"

Jackson also knew that the entire Duchy had begun to become chaotic.

The situation in the royal capital was not concealed at all and had been transmitted to Sky Wolf Territory in the southernmost part.

The Second Prince's coup, the First Prince's whereabouts were unknown. Within the entire Duchy, the Second Prince had already begun to prepare to unify the Duchy with a group of Earls!

The north was extremely chaotic, and the Earls in the south were also worried and insecure.

At this time, if Sky Wolf Territory could have one more Golden Knight, it would have one more point of strength.

"Hahaha! Jackson, I finally broke through. It's like a dream. I broke through to the realm I've been dreaming of!"

Thomas looked excited. He quickly flew from a distance to the training ground.

"Lord Thomas!"

The Sky Knight showed a smile when he saw Thomas.

"Oh? Andy, is that you, kid? Why are you back?!"

Thomas raised his eyebrows slightly as he looked at Andy.

Andy showed a smile: "Lord Thomas, Lord Allen asked me to deliver an order."

Thomas immediately looked solemn when he heard this.

800 "Speak quickly!"

Only then did Andy speak, "Sir, Lord Allen wants you to take ten thousand warriors and the remaining Orc Treants north to Steel Fist Territory, occupy all the cities, recruit warriors, and also build fortifications!" Andy said quickly, "After Lord Allen and Lord Marco occupy Amber Territory and Aries Territory, the Orcs and Treants need to arrive as quickly as possible to build fortifications."

"In addition, Lord Allen said to bring the arrow boxes we prepared earlier."

After Andy finished speaking, Thomas immediately revealed a smile: "As expected of Lord Allen, to solve the Steel Fist Territory so quickly, and even attack other Earl territories!"

"Alright, I already know. I will immediately lead people north!"

Thomas said quickly. After speaking, he looked at Jackson: "Jackson, Wolf Sky City Territory will be temporarily handed over to you. You should be breaking through soon, right?"

Jackson smiled slightly: "I don't know about breaking through, but I will swear to defend Wolf Sky Territory. Don't worry."

Thomas smiled, immediately gathered ten thousand warriors, went to the Treant factory in the south, and took the remaining Orc Treants there heading north, also taking away all the arrow boxes.

Building fortifications for three territories is a huge project!

"Orcs! It's the damned Orcs!"

"No! Don't!"

Under Allen's leadership, the Orcs cooperated with the human cavalry and were unstoppable.

Within the Aries Territory north of Amber Territory, Allen had already swept through four cities in a row. Although there were many warriors here, none could withstand the Orcs' charge.

The human cavalry led the Orcs, rampaging across the battlefield.

Not to mention small cities, even the Aries City main city absolutely couldn't withstand Allen's troops.

Sweeping through four cities in half a day, even Dragonblood Warriors and Orcs would feel a certain amount of fatigue.

However, Allen didn't let people rest for too long. After only resting for an hour, Allen once again led his people towards Aries City.

Two days later, Allen successfully brought 70% of the Aries Territory under his control, and his warriors were completely exhausted. As for the remaining territory, Allen didn't expect too much. Having this much territory was enough.

Sweeping across an entire Earl territory in two days, other than Allen, probably no one else could do it.

Allen didn't station troops in Aries City. Although he left a portion of his men in Aries City, he himself was in a city called Tour City north of Aries City.

This was Tour City, known as the second main city of Aries Territory, ruled by the eldest son of the Aries Territory Lord, and it was developing very well. To its north was a large lake, surrounded by many mountains, easy to defend and difficult to attack, serving as a barrier to the north of Aries City.

Allen's troops had also reached here, not continuing north.

Because the warriors were tired, and also because this place was very suitable for defense!

The winter Tour City lacked the usual bustling scene. Now, there were only sparse sounds in the city, and most of the civilians felt fear and dread due to Allen's arrival.

Fortunately, this new lord seemed to only attack the warriors who resisted them, and was surprisingly friendly to the civilians.

Allen rode on the Silver Moon Wolf, walking on the street, surrounded by a team of Dragonblood cavalry.

After a night of rest, except for the warriors who were on duty last night, the other warriors had recovered most of their energy, and also began to prepare for building fortifications according to Allen's orders.

The Treants and Orcs had already left the city, and began to build ironwood fences one kilometer away from Tour City, near the lake, with two layers of staggered ironwood fences, one layer of ironwood wall, and two layers of staggered arrow towers.

These were all left to the Orcs and Treants to prepare.

Just the vicinity of Tour City alone required most of Allen's Orcs and Treants to build.

However, this didn't matter to Allen.

He had enough gold coins. During this period, the income from the four major industries had already reached an astronomical figure.

As long as he had gold coins, Allen could have as many Orcs and Treants as he wanted.

The efforts of these two days were still very good. At least today, several nearby Earl territories had reacted, but it was already too late.

Allen's Orc engineering team had already spread throughout the Aries Territory, building fortifications very quickly, and most importantly, did you think the Orcs were just workers?

These guys were warriors, and tearing humans apart in battle was easy for them.

"Sir, the Azure Deer Territory has already attracted the attention of several surrounding Earls, and they have already begun to send troops to compete for territory. r."

"As you said, it's true that if there's an easy target, they won't take the initiative to confront us head-on."

Beside Allen, a cavalryman said respectfully, "In addition, news has come from Amber Territory that Lord Marco and the others have almost occupied Amber Territory, and all that's left is the construction of fortifications."

"In Steel Fist Territory, Lord Thomas has completely taken over. Compared to the resistance of the civilians in Aries Territory and Amber Territory, the civilians in Steel Fist Territory are very enthusiastic about us."

"Lord Thomas has already recruited ten thousand reserve warriors in Steel Fist Territory."

This cavalryman reported the progress of several Earl territories. Allen listened while checking his system.

"I already have 380,000 merit points. I can buy some warrior training cards. What I need now is enough loyalty and a large enough number of troops to allow me to steadily control five Earl territories."

Allen was preparing to cultivate another 50,000 warriors in a short period of time.

Although he could easily obtain a large number of Orc warriors, these guys were mostly irrational in combat.

They were only suitable for attacking, not very suitable for defending.

He had to place a portion of human warriors among them to guide them.

"What's the current recruitment situation? How many people have been recruited in total in the five territories?" Allen asked immediately after listening to the cavalryman.

"Ten thousand in Steel Fist Territory, seven thousand in Wolf Sky Territory, five thousand in Thorny Flower Territory, and less than three thousand in Amber Territory and Aries Territory combined," the cavalryman said quickly.

"It seems that the civilians in Aries Territory and Amber Territory are very resistant to us."
