From Baron to Lord

"Listen up, people inside! You are surrounded! Surrender your weapons immediately!" Allen said while yawning.

If he needed to put in a little effort for Anemone City, then there was absolutely no need for it with Swallow City.

Even the lord, Earl Swallow, is already dead, what experts could Swallow City possibly have?

Even if there were experts, hearing that Earl Swallow had died and preparing to come to support would still take time.

"Are they people from the Lionheart Duchy?! How is that possible? Didn't Earl Swallow take his men to support Earl Anemone? How could they be here?" Inside the city, the warriors were a little dumbfounded, not understanding why people from the Lionheart Duchy were here.

"Outrageous boasting, brat! You think you can come to our Swallow City and clamor with only one or two thousand men?!" The sixth-level knight guarding the city revealed a hint of disdain on his face.

In his view, this small unit was just a band of roaming soldiers.

Allen smiled. It seemed that the family of Earl Swallow hadn't spread the news of Earl Swallow's death yet.

Logically speaking, not long after Earl Swallow's death, the nature spirit he contracted with, the fairy, would dissolve the contract, no longer listen to human arrangements, and become hostile to humans.

This change was extremely obvious. Allen believed that Earl Swallow had been dead for two days, and the people in the Earl's castle couldn't possibly not know what had happened.

"Alas, why won't they believe it?"

Allen shrugged helplessly, and with a wave of the knight's sword in his hand, the entire city gate was instantly cut into pieces.

Allen raised his knight's sword high and shouted, "Charge!"

Soon, he led the wolf cavalry into Swallow City, slaughtering the still-confused Swallow City warriors.

This battle was the fastest Allen had ever fought. Because there were no Gold Knights, Allen was unstoppable, and in just a few minutes, he wiped out everyone near the city gate.

After that, he led his men to advance rapidly. Along the way, they encountered some scattered resistance, but in the end, it was just futile resistance. Apart from leaving a few corpses on the streets, it had no effect.

Soon, the entire Swallow City was filled with corpses and bloodstains. Allen directly occupied Swallow City, which was also the third Earl's territory he had occupied.

At this moment, he stood on the highest level of Swallow Castle, looking in the direction of the Blue Moon Principality's capital.

There was still a large Marquis territory away from there.

Chapter 79: Reinforcements, the Shocked Mad Lion Marquis! (Seeking subscriptions, seeking self-subscriptions!)

Allen's Thorn Flower banner completely replaced the Swallow banner, and the entire Swallow City already belonged to Allen.

After taking Swallow City, Allen didn't continue to advance as before.

Instead, he had his men rest and recuperate in Swallow City. Afterwards, he would take his men out to clear out the small nobles.

As for why he didn't attack the Marquis territory?

Of course, it was because he didn't have enough strength!

If he had tens of thousands of people at this time, he would dare to go to Mad Wave Marquis, one of the three major Marquis territories of the Blue Moon Principality.

Allen had heard that Marquises were all top experts of level eight, or even level nine.

And they definitely had many Gold Knights under their command.

Allen's strength was indeed not enough.

So he decided to wait for a wave of reinforcements. Only with enough troops would Allen dare to rush up and fight, even if it was a Grand Duke.

Time passed like this for two days, and Allen and Viscount Ironwood were living extremely well in Swallow City.

After all, these guys used to be small nobles, and their fiefs were some small towns and cities.

Occasionally, they had the opportunity to go to Thorn Flower City, but they had to be cautious and not let themselves go too much.

But now it was different. Damn it, they had conquered the territory themselves, and with Allen's extreme indulgence, each of them was as arrogant as an earth emperor, enjoying fine wine, delicacies, and beautiful women every day, and their lives were quite beautiful.

Allen also occasionally went out to earn merit points, and then practiced every day.

Two days later, outside Swallow City, a large group of troops arrived, covered in dust. After arriving, they saw the Thorn Flower banner all over the city, and the middle-aged, burly man wearing golden knight armor and riding a lion magic beast was immediately a little dumbfounded.

"Is this the third city now? Could it be that Albert's main force is here??"

This Gold Knight of the Lionheart Duchy said with some suspicion: "That shouldn't be. Aren't they outside Wind Chime City over there?"

"Um, Marquis, Albert and the others did encounter great resistance in Wind Chime City. It is said that four Earl-level experts and 60,000 troops have gathered in Wind Chime City these days! Albert can only struggle to support them and has been repeatedly defeated."

A man also wearing golden knight armor said respectfully to the tall and burly man leading the way.

The Marquis, as he was called, had a slightly strange expression on his face.

His own vanguard army was being beaten so badly that they were questioning their lives, but this small unit of his was like the God of War, completely sweeping away all enemies. It seemed that the other party had already taken Swallow City.

"Then do you know who is leading the right-wing vanguard?" The Marquis asked curiously.

"It's Baron Allen, the second son of Earl Albert, who has always been known for his mediocre cultivation talent. Recently, however, there seems to have been a great change. It is said that during the naval battle, he led a team of sea cavalry and directly defeated the naval forces of the Blue Moon Principality! At the same time, he broke through to the seventh level at sea and became the youngest Gold Knight in our Principality!"

The man next to the Marquis said quickly, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes at the same time. Obviously, he also had some doubts about the authenticity of the information, but this information was personally written by His Royal Highness Leineson, so there could be no problem.

Then the problem was the guy named Allen.

"The youngest?"

The Marquis stroked his beard, and the aura on his body fluctuated obscurely.

"How old is this kid?"

"Sixteen years old!"

"What?! Sixteen years old?!"

The Marquis of the Lionheart Duchy widened his eyes. You must know that even when he saw the Thorn Flower flag full of Swallow City before, he was only a little surprised, but he still maintained the demeanor of a noble.

But now, hearing that Allen had advanced to the seventh level at the age of sixteen, the Marquis's aura couldn't be suppressed on the spot, and the terrifying fighting spirit fluctuations were released instantly, causing several Earls wearing golden knight armor around him to look terrified.

"Lord..."

The surrounding people all showed uncomfortable expressions, and some warriors even turned pale and swayed unsteadily.

The aura of this Marquis was too powerful, so powerful that even the Earls who were also Gold Knights couldn't withstand it.

It was hard to imagine his strength. "Cough, cough!"

The Marquis obviously realized his gaffe, coughed lightly twice, and then quickly restrained his aura.

This prevented his army from collapsing before even seeing the enemy.

At the moment when this Marquis released his aura, Allen, who was in Feiyan Fort, stood up immediately.

He immediately soared into the air and flew out of the city.

Marco and the others also immediately mobilized their troops and became vigilant.

Allen quickly flew out of Feiyan City and saw a dense mass of troops.

The army held high the flags of the Lionheart Duchy, and also a flag with a lion pattern.

Allen's eyes flashed with relief. It was good that they weren't enemies. "Are you Allen?"

Before Allen could speak, a tall and burly man with a full beard, who seemed to be the leader on the opposite side, shouted loudly at Allen.

This man's voice was rough, with a hint of domineering and some strange tone.

Allen nodded slightly: "I am. Are you the follow-up troops? Is it Marquis Mad Lion?"

Allen looked at the bearded man and asked curiously.

As a nobleman, he had memorized all the family crests of the Earls and Marquises in the Duchy since he was a child.

When he saw the lion pattern, Allen knew that the leader of this team was Marquis Mad Lion, one of the five great Marquises of the Lionheart Duchy.

It is said that this man is the most hot-tempered Marquis in the entire Duchy, and his strength is also quite formidable. It is said that he is one of the top experts among the five great Marquises. "It's me! Little guy, come here and let me see. Damn it, how can you be so powerful? A seventh-level knight at sixteen?"

Marquis Mad Lion's big eyes were full of curiosity and shock.

There was also some love and appreciation for a genius.

Allen was stunned, but he still walked over: "Marquis, shouldn't we go into the city to rest first? I think the soldiers are very tired. I have already prepared a lot of food to wait for your arrival."

Allen's words made Marquis Mad Lion nod slightly: "Not bad, Garrick, inform everyone to enter the city to rest!"

After speaking, Marquis Mad Lion turned his gaze to Allen again: "Little guy, not bad, not only is your cultivation talent amazing, but you are also good at leading troops. Originally, I thought I would have to lead people to destroy two Earls before I could attack that old bastard, Nutao, but it seems that I don't need to bother so much now."

Marquis Mad Lion laughed and patted Allen on the shoulder: "You are the most outstanding young man I have ever seen. I have high hopes for you! When we destroy the Blue Moon Duchy this time, I will tell the Duke about your merits. By then, not to mention a Viscount, even making you an Earl will not be a problem, right?"

ps: It's the ninth chapter, asking for flowers, asking for evaluation votes, asking for monthly tickets, now the subscription... well, let's just say it's miserable, I hope it can rise a bit in the evening... .

Chapter 80: Adding Five Thousand Warriors! (10 for the first order, asking for self-order)

Allen's expression was calm. He didn't seem too proud because of Marquis Mad Lion's words, which made Marquis Mad Lion feel even more fond of Allen.

Not arrogant or impetuous, this little guy is not bad.

Soon, the army entered the city, and Allen ordered people to prepare enough food, hot water, and rooms for the soldiers to rest.

This time, Marquis Mad Lion brought a full 50,000 people.

It can be said that he drew half of the troops from his territory at once.

He wasn't Albert. His territory was close to the royal capital and had the responsibility of protecting the royal capital. He didn't dare to draw out all his troops.

In case other duchies on the continent took advantage of the conflict between the Lionheart Duchy and the Blue Moon Duchy to make trouble.

Allen carefully observed that among these 50,000 people, there were 5,000 cavalry, and the combat power of the knight level should be more than 500 people, and there were as many as five Gold Knights, including Marquis Mad Lion, a ninth-level expert.

A very strong lineup!

Allen thought in his heart.

While he was shocked by the strength of Marquis Mad Lion, Marquis Mad Lion was also shocked by Allen's perversion. "What? Your troops only have two thousand people?"

Marquis Mad Lion was stunned. Not only was he stunned, but the Earls around him were also stunned.

"You said before that your two thousand people slaughtered 13-14 thousand people in Seaweed City, and at the same time killed two Earl-level combatants in one battle?" Marquis Mad Lion found it hard to accept Allen's heaven-defying record.

"Marquis, I wouldn't dare to lie. I believe you should have passed by Seaweed City, right? You should also be able to see that the soil on the entire plain in front of Seaweed City is purplish red. That was dyed red by the blood of more than 10,000 people. If you don't believe me, you can send someone to Seaweed City to inquire."

Allen's indifference made the several Earls in the castle and Marquis Mad Lion silent for a while.

In the end, Marquis Mad Lion could only accept this fact.

"It's unbelievable. Are you the son of the God of War?" Marquis Mad Lion inadvertently put a green hat on Earl Albert's head.

Allen smiled slightly and didn't speak. Soon, a rich meal and delicious wine were brought up.

Marquis Mad Lion and several Earls immediately began to eat and drink heartily.

They hadn't eaten such delicious food for several days because they had been on the road these days.

Soon, everyone was full, and after chatting for a few words, they went back to their rooms to rest.

The next day, Allen was called over by Marquis Mad Lion.

When he arrived, several Earls were already waiting for him in the conference room.

"Everyone is here. The purpose of gathering you this time is very clear, which is to prepare to severely punish that old bastard, Marquis Nutao (cfbh)!" Marquis Mad Lion said with a beaming expression, looking like he was very happy.

"I roughly looked at the territory of that old thing, Nutao. As one of the three great Marquises of the Blue Moon Duchy, this old thing's territory is not small, catching up with two-thirds of my territory."

"He has three Earls under his command, and I estimate that his troops are around 30,000, which does not pose a threat to us."

"So I want to send troops immediately, first kill this old thing, and then directly attack the royal capital!" Marquis Mad Lion said with an expectant expression.
