Lord of War

Viscount Rudd has been having nightmares recently.

Ever since he saw a red cloud of fire erupting from the direction of the original Shaov Land a month ago, he has been in a state of panic, which has brought him too much pressure. Even if he doesn't understand anything, he can still feel the terrifying power contained in that piece of fire cloud. This kind of power makes him feel an unmatched illusion. At this moment, he regrets coming to find him. Trouble with that Pandalord lord.

Ruud Michelin is a new nobleman in the Kingdom of Darbion. After becoming an aristocrat, this business-based family did not quickly integrate into the noble system of the Kingdom of Darbion. Strong rejection, and the emerging aristocratic circle is generally dominated by military reformers. As a businessman, the Michelin family naturally finds it difficult to integrate into the mouth. It is a good thing for the Michelin family to be able to expand the influence of the family, whether it is to integrate into the old aristocratic circle or the emerging aristocratic circle.

That's why Rude joined the coalition without hesitation after knowing the identity of Lonnis. As long as he can catch up with the Boulder family, the most influential nobleman in the Darbion Kingdom, he will become the hottest person in the entire Darbion Kingdom in an instant, let alone integrate into the old aristocratic circle or the emerging nobles Circle, people from these two aristocratic circles even want to win him over in turn.

Out of this good expectation, Rude put all his capital into this gamble.

He still has some confidence in his ability.

Maybe he can't compare with Baron Lonness in terms of military ability, but he also has a specialty that Lonnis doesn't have—he is one of the few lords in the Darbion Kingdom who can manage both military affairs and government affairs well. With his hard work, his territory has gradually become prosperous, and now it is no longer necessary for him to invest funds in trade and commerce, but can start to feed back funds to him, which also allows him to start investing more Attention and energy are devoted to the building of the army.

Originally, his life should get better and better.

But for some reason, once he thought of the fire cloud he saw a month ago, he would feel a burst of fear. It was the kind of fear that came from the bottom of his heart, the completely uncontrollable trembling. In the past month, he had not slept peacefully for a single day. Germany just has no sense of security at all.

He always wondered, would it be too rash to agree to Lonnis's invitation to join the coalition plan?

Rude got up from the bed, glanced at the empty soft bed, and felt a sudden loneliness for some reason.

His family was still too young. It started from the generation of his great-grandfather. After three generations of hard work, his father finally became a nobleman, but he only had a title. Although he got married afterwards, he spent most of his life working hard to become a real nobleman. In Rude's impression, he and his father didn't see each other several times a year until they were eight or nine years old. Only then did he finally stabilize, his father became a real nobleman as he wished, but his mother also died of illness.

Lovesickness.

He used to hate his father too, so when he was arranged by his father to go to the military academy when he was nine years old, he didn't refuse, he just thought that the farther away from his father the better. Then he stayed at the Military Academy for six years, during which he did not return home once. After graduating at the age of sixteen, he served as an officer in the Darbion Kingdom Army.

It was also at the same Langness that I knew. After three years of training, he joined the Kingdom Expeditionary Force at the age of nineteen. After returning from the four-year campaign, he caught up with the invasion of the Principality of Ryan. That battle was also the first time he led the troops back to his father as an officer. The territory participated in the defense battle.

As a result, it goes without saying that the Dabion Kingdom was completely defeated, and the territory that his father had worked so hard to manage all his life became the spoils of war for others.

For this reason, his father was seriously ill. When he was dying, Rude seemed to finally realize his conscience and went to see his father for the last time. It was also that side that made him firm in his idea of ​​making the Michelin family a great nobleman of the Darbion Kingdom. For this reason, he gave up the title of earl that he might have obtained, inherited his father's title of viscount, and became a field noble. The development of the family and the territory is constantly working hard.

After nearly five years of development, his territory finally began to prosper.

But looking back, Rude found that he seemed to have missed a lot.

For some reason, he suddenly remembered the sweet smile in his memory, but the family power represented behind this smile also made Rude understand that the girl was not promoted by himself. As Cazes, Huoqidi The prince's second daughter, her future has already been determined, even if he wants to marry her, her father may not agree.

It was the daughter of a prince.

"If we can catch the line of the Boulder family..." Rude murmured softly.

The cruelty of reality has made him understand that no matter how well he can develop his territory and how strong his army is, without allies, he is just a piece of fat in the eyes of others. Wars break out between nobles from time to time. As long as it is not on the scale of a national war, other surrounding lords will naturally not be able to intervene. It is also a contest of strength and allies.

"As long as I can get into the sight of Prince Cazes, maybe I will really have a chance." Rude clenched his hands, and the fear in his heart gradually calmed down. It is also limitless, as long as I continue to maintain a friendly relationship with him, I can succeed too! I have nothing to lose in this gamble, anyway, I am the winner no matter what! "

Like hypnotism, Rude kept cheering himself up, and his eyes gradually became calm.

There was a hasty knock on the door.

"Come in." Rude said in a deep voice.

The door was pushed open, and a middle-aged man in plain clothes stepped in.

The two high-ranking silver masters under Rude's command were both people who followed his father back then, and they were cultivated by his father with all his efforts. However, the strength of these two people does not seem to be very good. They are both over forty years old and are still in the stage of high-level silver. If there is no big opportunity, these two people will probably stop at this level in this life. But fortunately, these two family knights are still loyal to the Michelin family, at least they never thought of leaving. They also survived the most painful and difficult days with Rude, and now they are both Already have their own manor.

"Uncle Nuo Sen, what's the matter?" Seeing the middle-aged man's face, Rude hurriedly asked.

"Master, Baron Ronnies has lost."

"Defeated?" Rude was taken aback for a moment, and then said, "What's going on?"

"That lord is more cunning and aggressive than we imagined." Nuo Sen said in a deep voice, "A few days ago, he secretly entered the territory of Baron Longness, and then launched a surprise attack. We don't know the specific process of the battle. I don't know, but according to the information received, the lord named Sean started with a surprise attack, causing chaos in Baron Ronnie's camp, and then seemed to control the stable area, forcing Baron Ronnie's to reorganize. The cavalry cannot form formation, and the battle situation after that is unclear."

"At present, we only know that Baron Ronnies should have fallen into Sean's hands, and now the lord is leading the troops on the return trip. According to the feedback from the rangers, the scale is about 400 people."

"Lonnis actually lost?" Rude frowned. "Is there a way to find out how many people the lord brought when the war broke out?"

"no way.

Northen shook his head regretfully, "The situation is very complicated now." The other two men are already planning to retreat, young master, I think we should also retreat now? "

Rude did not answer Nuo Sen's question, but frowned and asked, "You said that the lord is now swaggering back?"

Although he didn't know why Rude asked such a question, Northon still said, "Yes."

"This lord has great ambitions." Rude's brows frowned even deeper. A person who can develop both the government and military affairs of the territory will certainly not be an idiot. "What he wants is a battle." War. That's right! This lord wants a war! Mordeggland and Elsie, and even us are just excuses and pretense. Mordeggland must have some unknown secrets! Northen Uncle, get the map quickly."

Although Nuo Sen didn't understand, he immediately took the map according to Rude's instructions.

This map is actually not much different from the one Asuna gave Sean, except that the names of some places on the map are different, but the precision is obviously better, and it can already be repeated with William. The fineness of the map made by him is comparable to that of the map. It can be seen that Rude's emphasis on maps is definitely not lower than that of William.

But on this map, Rude didn't see anything strange. His first reaction was that the Principality of Ryan had some kind of secret information that they didn't know. A certain treasure. But he quickly overturned this idea, because if it was just like this, they could organize a small team to enter, so that it would not attract attention.

After a few seconds of contemplation, Rude drew the general situation of the map on a piece of white paper, and marked the enemy and the enemy in red and blue, and then painted the area representing Modeg's territory in red.

After Rude finished this action, he froze for an instant, and his face was as frightened as if he had seen a ghost: "Strategic advance base!"

Even though Northon knew nothing about military issues, he knew very well what the words "strategic advance base" meant. He raised his head in disbelief and looked at Rude: "Is that Marquise Tony? Want to start another war?"

"Even if this is not the case, as long as this territory is taken by her, the entire surrounding area will be under her control. At that time, it will be completely under her threat." Rude's face turned pale, The already peaceful and peaceful heart panicked again, he uneasily remembered the fire cloud he saw a month ago, "Immediately find a way to notify the Boulder family, I will lead the troops to set off now, no matter what, Lonnie must be taken away." Save the baron!"

"But go..."

"There is nothing but, Uncle Northen!" Rude said in a deep voice, "We have nothing to lose, so this time we are winners no matter what. But if the Kingdom of Dabion does not exist, then we will win again." Too many, but also a loser!...Marquis Tonys will never come up with such a strategy, that Lord Sean Connery is a complete lunatic!"
