Lord of War

Moens's face was full of helplessness. After a wry smile, he put a letter on a mahogany table as if resigned to his fate.

In fact, this is a circular letter.

The notification letter sent by Panda.

The content of the notice letter is not complicated, that is, Panda Ling wants Yedebi Ling to open the right of military passage, allowing Panda Ling's army to pass through normally.

Aristocrats have noble practices and bottom lines.

If you want to pass through another noble's territory, you can do small-scale troop actions without saying hello, but if it is a large-scale troop movement, then you must obtain the military access opened by the lord, otherwise it is tantamount to provoking the lord. As the lord of the territory, this is naturally an act of invasion. With the degree of aristocrat's good face, it's strange that the other party who slaps in the face doesn't fight you to the death - of course, this is based on the fact that there is not much difference in strength between them.

There is nothing wrong with Sean's approach, at least this way of greeting is indeed a decent aristocratic behavior.

And generally accompanying this kind of application for military access, there must be some related compensation, or a friendly mutual benefit policy. You can't let others pay, but there is no benefit, right? Especially the higher the title and status, usually the bigger the compensation plan, which is actually one of the ways to show the family heritage and strength.

However, this notice letter from Panda Ling did not offer any compensation, but ended with a sentence.

"If you don't open the right of military access to me, we will regard this behavior as a provocation against us. If necessary, we will take military action."

To put it simply, "If you Yedebiling are smart, you should quickly provide us with the right of military access for free. Otherwise, when our army is deployed, I will even attack your territory."

threaten.

Outright threats.

But Panda Ling has this strength, what can you do?

Under normal circumstances, Moens would definitely open up without even thinking about it. He is just a baron in the field. Facing Sean, who can obtain the status of Earl of Power even in the Kingdom of Darbion under normal circumstances, he is simply He didn't even have the strength to fight back.

But this time, he had no choice but to agree.

More than a year ago, he was still a member of Boulder's faction, leading hundreds of private troops to participate in the military operation against Panda.

But what happened?

Before the war started, the lord of Chirav Land was captured alive, the private army in the territory was wiped out, and even Chirav Land fell completely. After that, when the battle officially started, it only took a few hours, and he was still defeated from the front by the opponent with twice the number of opponents. After that, there was a week of complete chaos and rout. There were more than a hundred private soldiers, and in the end less than a hundred people came back alive.

Then there is the compensation.

Although the Boulder family also gave some compensation afterwards, it still hurt him a lot. In the next few years, he could barely maintain the balance of income and expenditure in the territory, let alone military expansion and training, even if he wanted to It is impossible to be luxurious at all. Now the private army in his territory has just gathered a hundred people, and he can barely maintain the law and order of a small city. Even bandits began to appear in the surrounding areas of the territory, and the law and order has completely deteriorated. He has no way to deal with it.

On the other hand, Panda Ling has entered a stage of rapid development since that battle.

Now there are as many as 30,000 troops under his command. Although they are scattered in three territories, he knows very well that there are at least tens of thousands of troops in Panda Territory. Back then, he couldn't win with twice as many troops as the opponent, but now he has only a hundred troops in his territory, while the opponent has tens of thousands. The gap between him and the opponent is a hundred times, how can he fight this battle?

But if the military right of passage is opened...

Not to mention that Sean is from the Principality of Lane, and he has a hostile relationship with Dabion, but if Sean wants to open the right of military access this time, he still wants to fight Darbion's Tinky, and he will never satisfy Sean. requirements. What's more, the Hastings who rule Tinchin are still members of the Nugus family, and he also chose the Nugus family after abandoning the Boulder family. It can be said that he and the Hastings are truly on the same side .

If he really granted the right of military access to Sean, the Nugus family would have to attack him before the Kingdom of Dabion sanctioned him.

"Father……"

"This time, we are probably doomed." Moens looked at his son and smiled wryly. "Whether it is opening the military access or not opening the military access, we will definitely offend one side."

"This Sean is simply too deceitful!"

Moens' son is a young man in his mid-twenties. Although he has a certain foundation in martial arts, it is only at the level of the lower bronze. His main energy is on the management of the territory. Although the military is also slightly involved, after all, he is only a human being, not a human being. elves, so of course it is impossible to learn very well. But at least, because of his single-mindedness and focus, Jedbyling has developed very well under his plan.

If there were no accidents, probably in a few years, he would officially take over the ring from his father Moens and become the new Baron Jedby.

"You have studied for so long, why haven't you understood this truth?" Moens looked at his son and sighed softly, "In this world, whoever has the most power is qualified to speak. Our family passed down I’m already the fourth generation in my hand, but I still can’t let the family go any further. I originally hoped that it was pinned on you, but I didn’t expect this kind of thing to happen. This time... It’s true that our territory is extremely large I can't keep it."

"That's not necessarily it!" After pondering for a moment, the young man's face flashed a look of ruthlessness, and he said in a deep voice, "I still have a way!"

Same night.

Unlike Moens, an old man who is over half a century old, who has calm and resigned to his fate, Domingo is almost going crazy.

Everything in his study in Hastings Manor was smashed.

But at this moment, Thain, Taylor, and the others beside him didn't dare to show their anger. One of them had a scar on his face, which was the broken vase when Domingo smashed things randomly in his desperate rage. Tongue hurt, but that's it, he didn't dare to reach out to wipe it.

"You go down to treat the wound first." Although still angry, Domingo glanced at the subordinate whose face was scratched by the fragments of the vase, and said.

This subordinate is not known for his combat prowess, his strength is not even lower than Bronze, but he is in charge of some financial management in Lomingen. figure. Of course, he was able to enter this study not because of his strong working ability, but because his surname was Hastings, and he was a direct descendant of Domingo.

Hearing Domingo's words, the subordinate immediately nodded and retreated.

After being expelled from Panda, Domingo went to Tinchin overnight without stopping for a moment. With their strength, of course, they can shorten the rest time to the greatest extent, and they also borrowed a few horses when passing through Yedby, so it only took about eight days for Dafeng to rush back to Hastings Manor , almost half faster than Soma's time. Of course, as soon as he returned to the manor, Domingo continued to send all the information to Gesun without stopping, so that Nugus knew that in half a month or so, Panda Ling would report to Ting Qiyin. Lead troops.

Even if Gesun has been determined to be the next heir of the Nugus family, he can't make an immediate decision on this issue. If his power is not completely abolished in the wild land, then maybe he can still Make up your mind now.

But at least for now, he needs to go through the family meeting.

It's just that at this moment, the reason for Domingo's anger is not that the Nugus family has not responded for the time being, but the two news that just came from Jedbyling.

The first, of course, is the military right of passage notification letter sent by Sean to Yederby.

This point has now been spread to the Nugus family, and I believe that the entire southern noble circle of Dabion will know about it soon.

As for the second thing, Avi's body was discovered.

Not only Avi, but also the corpses of the other two family knights of the Hasting family's lower-ranking gold powerhouses, as well as the elite descendants of the second cavalry regiment he sent out at the beginning, but only Soma and Bi Qi two corpses.

There is no doubt that this team is the team that Domingo asked them to come over immediately because of the territorial contract documents of the Panda Territory. It's just that when he was expelled from the Panda Territory, he immediately tried to contact the team to let them return to the territory, but he didn't expect to be intercepted and killed halfway. How can this make Domingo not angry? You know, one of the dead was his eldest son!

Even though there is still a big gap between Avi and Thain in all aspects, he is also Domingo's biological son!

This is why Domingo is really angry!

"Have you found out who did it?" Domingo said with red eyes and a vicious look all over his body.

"According to Baron Jedby's investigation, we can only judge that the attack at that time should have been relatively sudden and rapid, and there must be a large number of people on the side that launched the attack, because the scene was very chaotic." It was Taylor who spoke, his voice was very stable, But Thain, who is familiar with Taylor, can tell that Qin Le is trying his best to suppress the anger in his heart, "I suspect that the leader of Panda collar did it, after all, the place where Master Awei was killed is only two miles away from Void City." , It’s only a three-day trip, and there will be a surprise attack by an army in such a short period of time, except for the surprise attack launched by the Panda collar mobilizing troops, no one else can do it.”

"Not necessarily." Thain shook his head, "Think about it, the Sword of Heroism can disperse the entire mercenary army into the Void City, so it is not very difficult to hide an elite small-scale army around. Things. This proves that the opponent should have relatively strong military power but is relatively weak in high-end combat power. At least with the current strength of the lord, he does not need to send a troop to do more than that, because of the size of the troop If it’s too big, it’s easy to go crazy, but if it’s small, it’s absolutely useless to Uncle Soma’s convoy.”

Hearing what Sean said, it is true when you think about it carefully.

"We've been bullied." Domingo had a resentful look on his face, "The other party first sent people to intercept and kill Avi, and then arranged for shadow assassins to assassinate Sean, obviously to provoke the two of us. Fang's fight, even..."

Speaking of this, Domingo's face showed a trace of horror, and Thain was only a step slower than his father, and he also immediately realized the danger.

If those shadow assassins succeeded in their assassination, and then deliberately left a clue to the embassy, ​​then they would definitely be directly beaten to death in the Void City by the enthusiastic Void City guards. On the other side, because Awei, Soma, and Kazi, the real elite core executives of the Tinkeyin leadership, were also killed, the entire Tinkeyin leadership fell into a leaderless situation.

In this case, Tinchin collar is simply a piece of fat that anyone can bite into.

Of course, if Sean knew about Domingo's idea, he would definitely scoff at it. Because from the very beginning, he never thought that Tinky would be swallowed up by other nobles around him. It can only be said that it was a great coincidence that the Creed Assassin assassinated Xiao En that night, and it was tantamount to giving Xiao En En is a more reasonable pretext for declaring war, but Xiao En and the creed assassin can barely be regarded as mutual benefits, and maybe they can reduce some conflicts in the future.

"No matter who is the guy who is going to frame us first, we must work together to deal with the current difficulties. ... Immediately transfer all the soldiers under your command and arrange them around the border, choosing as wide a plain as possible , it is more suitable for cavalry charge."

Soon, Domingo immediately turned the pain of losing his son into motivation, and began to carry out a series of military deployments for the upcoming war.

In contrast to the fanfare and other publicity tricks on Ting Qi's side, Panda's leader did not move at all, as if he didn't care about the war at all. Only the two private soldiers in Day's were called back urgently, and at the same time, the steel wings It moved to the border line adjacent to Tinky's territory, and at the same time, some related fortifications were also adopted at the border. After all, William had already investigated very clearly that Tinkyin led a total of more than 30,000 private soldiers. It is definitely not something that an ordinary earl can afford.

Even Asuna was a bit struggling to support her: and Sean, if it wasn't for the support of the war and the continuous supply of logistics, Sean could only embark on the helpless move of disarmament.

But fortunately, it is no longer necessary.

As long as Tinchin is taken down, Sean will no longer be able to make ends meet.

And almost at this moment, a simple carriage, escorted by seven guards, drove into the Void City, and then stopped at the gate of the mansion of the Lord's Mansion under William's personal guidance.
