Temporary Command Post!

Loy sat at the head of the table, with a group of knight leaders below him, Vincent Ackerman, Cody Isaac, and Alan Wells were all there.

However, Oliveira did not appear!

Loy opened the parchment in his hand, and several question marks popped up on his forehead.

He thought for a moment and handed it to Vincent Ackerman next to him.

The three of them took turns, all read the contents, and were also a little puzzled.

Alan Wells spoke directly: "In theory, shouldn't the Wick family try every means to break through Frostmoon Canyon before our main force arrives?

If we can't take this place, the subsequent war will have to take place in the Wick family's territory.

It's already the harvest season, and the Wick Earl's territory should also have a good harvest.

The losses caused by fighting there are immeasurable!"

Vincent Ackerman thought for a moment and said, "Is it possible that the Wick family's forces haven't gathered yet?

It's true that he initiated this noble war, but Earl Wick will never only have three extraordinary individuals!"

"So, Earl Wick knows that he can't win at this stage, so he first hangs up the truce card and waits for his knights to arrive before fighting again?"

Cody Isaac nodded in agreement: "I think this is very likely!

However, we can't rule out that they have other plans?"

Loy's brow relaxed, and he said, "What's the point of guessing, just ask!

Invite that Daisy Wick Knight in, let's meet her!"

Alan Wells responded and immediately walked out.

Several minutes later, a valiant female knight walked in, wearing specially made knight plate armor, showing off her graceful curves.

The places that should be big were big, and the places that should be thin were thin, coupled with her slender figure, it was eye-catching.

The eyes of the crowd gathered, but did not cause much impact on Daisy Wick, she was used to being the center of attention.

At this time, she was also holding her head high, looking at Loy, with a strange expression.

Walking closer, she also performed a knight's salute, punching her chest with her right fist, making a crisp sound: "Daisy Wick, greetings, Earl!"

Loy nodded slowly, and raised the parchment in his hand again, saying, "Knight Daisy, can you explain the reason to me?"

Daisy said: "It's very simple, my grandfather is sick!

Yesterday, after the defeat on the battlefield, my grandfather was so angry that he vomited blood and fell to the ground.

Although a priest rescued him, he is still recuperating now."

"In addition, the mobilization of my Wick family's troops will take time.

And your Excellency, the Earl, your main force has not arrived either, so why not put up the truce card first and let each other rest for a while, which can also reduce some precautions and get a good night's sleep."

"Specific time?"

"Ten days, no matter how long or short, no mutual attacks are allowed within ten days, is that okay?"

Loy tilted his head slightly and said, "Ten days is a bit short, fifteen days!

Fifteen days later, I will bring the Knights to your Wick family's territory, and then we will have a knight's battle, okay?"

Daisy Wick agreed very readily: "Okay!"

"Can you make the decision?"

"My name is Wick, the first in line to inherit the Wick family!"

"Since that's the case, it's settled, I'll send someone to escort you away."

"Wait!"

Daisy Wick hurriedly interrupted and said, "The official business is over, I still have some private matters I want to discuss with the Earl.

I wonder if you could ask the others to leave first?"

Loy narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Vincent and the others, and said, "You guys go down first."

Vincent Ackerman and the others hesitated for only a moment before bowing and stepping away.

There was no other way, Loy's combat power was obvious to all, even if Daisy Wick had more tricks, she couldn't hurt him.

Therefore, there was no need to consider the safety issue.

And excluding the safety issue, it was not appropriate for them to be present if the two of them wanted to say some private words.

Seeing the three of them walking away, before Loy could speak, Daisy Wick took out a magic scroll and placed it in her hand.

She only heard her say, "I heard that the Earl is also a magic gunslinger, activating a mute scroll shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"Is it necessary to be so troublesome?"

"My grandfather said, better safe than sorry!"

Saying this, Daisy Wick took a few steps forward and handed the magic scroll over.

However, Loy did not take it, but took out his dimensional bag, rummaged for a moment, and also found a magic scroll.

Unfolded, activated, torn to pieces...

Thus, a silent force field was generated, and then spread outward, enveloping the two of them.

After doing all this, Loy asked again: "Now, is it okay?"

"Okay!"

Daisy Wick seemed to have removed her disguise, her whole person was no longer tense, she looked around, and actually dragged a chair over and sat down opposite Loy.

At this time, she opened her mouth to reveal: "My grandfather's illness is fake!"

"Although, yesterday's loss was very miserable, but he has lived for a long time, seeking survival in the cracks, and is not so unbearable!

Yesterday, he was using a trick, preparing to stop for a few days under the pretext of illness!"

Loy was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but say, "You're revealing this so easily, isn't that bad?"

"There's nothing bad about it, because my grandfather told me to say it."

Loy narrowed his eyes slightly, as if thinking of something: "Wait, your grandfather, Earl Wick, still has to put on this show in his own military camp?

Could it be that someone is forcing him?

Even, that person is in your military camp?"

"The person who can make Earl Wick so afraid, ordinary people can't do it, the superior noble of your Wick family is the Carlisle family.

So, Marquis Carlisle is in the big camp?"

At this moment, the expression on Daisy Wick's face was as if she had seen a ghost, she looked at Loy with wide eyes, and her words stuttered.

"You, you, you, this, this, this, you can guess all of this?"

"Do you also have magic eye warlocks, have magic mirrors, can monitor my every move there?"

"No, no, no, even if there are magic eye warlocks, there is still a fourth-order Calamity mage following that person, it's impossible for you to see it!"

Loy waved his hand and said, "It's just a guess, a very simple principle, don't be surprised.

However, since Marquis Carlisle is there, can he let you shirk and delay like this?"

Daisy once again said something shocking: "To be precise, the truce was requested by Marquis Carlisle.

My grandfather vomiting blood just gave him an excuse, and then I was sent here."

"First use the excuse that the forces of both sides have not gathered, if you don't believe it, then bring up the matter of my grandfather vomiting blood.

In short, strive for a minimum of ten days."

"Strive for time? But why strive for time?"

Loy's brow furrowed again, his eyes flickering.

His thoughts turned, and he suddenly looked at Daisy, his eyes sharp as knives: "Tell me, what exactly does your Wick family want to do?"

"I am very curious about your position, these should all be unspeakable secrets.

As a result, you have revealed everything to me?"

"If my memory is correct, we are still in a noble war, it's either you die or I live!"

Daisy smiled bitterly: "Earl, after saying so much, you should be able to feel that my Wick family really doesn't want to fight this war at all!"

"Although, the Raymond family is now in a weak period, although we also really want to take Frostmoon Canyon and the gem mine.

But that has to be through formal channels, such as inheritance.

For this reason, I, the first in line to inherit the family, can change my surname to 'Raymond'.

And these choices do not include war!"

"We still have self-awareness, it is best not to covet the Flower Territory of the Lion King, this is the experience of countless years."

"It's just that when Marquis Carlisle came to the door, that fierce, disgusting bald head stood in front of my grandfather, many things were not up to us to decide."

"My grandfather had no choice but to summon vassals and knights, had no choice but to initiate a noble war, had no choice but to lead troops to garrison here, had no choice but to send the family's knights and soldiers to the battlefield..."

"We were also forced to do all this!"

Loy narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "I really want to know, what does that Marquis Carlisle want to do?"

"We don't know the specifics!"

Daisy shook her head and said, "However, what is certain is that they have bigger plans."

"What about the strength?"

"I haven't seen Marquis Carlisle's Knights and soldiers, but just the ones that have been revealed include two fourth-order Cataclysms and four third-order Transcendent.

It's just that this time, after you arrive, Marquis Carlisle seems to think that these combat powers are still not safe."

"So, the purpose of delaying time may be to mobilize more manpower, or to wait for reinforcements to arrive?!"

Speaking of this, Daisy's words were a bit unconfident, and she seemed to have difficulty judging.

Loy was silent for a moment, and finally said: "Thank you very much for telling me so much news, this is very important.

Then, let's talk about a more important issue, what does your Wick family want to do?

Or, what do you want me to help your Wick family do?"

The words have been said here, it is a complete showdown.

Daisy's expression became more solemn, she straightened her body and whispered: "My grandfather's purpose in sending me here is very simple, is to hope that the Raymond family will be merciful!"

"In this battle, no matter how many plans Marquis Carlisle has, my Wick family will bear the brunt.

That disgusting bald head doesn't care about the casualties of my family's knights, but we can't not care!"

"So, my grandfather came here, just wanted me to let you know in advance, the subsequent fighting, can use less force, can cause less damage and loss!

And most importantly, you cannot pursue my Wick family afterwards."

Hearing this, Daisy seemed to have thought of something, and a smile appeared on her face: "Of course, if the Earl really shows great power and defeats Marquis Carlisle's conspiracy, causing them heavy losses, that would be even better!

I really hope this day will come, so that the rope around the Wick family's neck can also be loosened a little.

My grandfather and I can live a more comfortable life."

"Just ask for these?"

Daisy nodded: "Just these!"

Loy smiled and said, "Since that's the case, I promise."
