Overgod Ascension

Although untrained farmers are weak, they still have the courage to rely on the city wall and throw stones.

In addition, it can also replace soldiers on guard duty at night, allowing soldiers to take turns to rest.

Viscount Garcia can estimate that once the stalemate continues, his army will be exhausted in the end. If there are heavy casualties and are pursued out of the city by the opponent, even the entire army may be annihilated!

"Retreat to Eagle Fort immediately. As long as Death Canyon is still in our hands, we can receive continuous support from the highlands!"

He made a decision immediately and glanced at Sir Smith who was still complaining, with a cold look in his eyes.

The opponent is a cavalry, so he naturally doesn't care about the life and death of his infantry, but he is responsible for the knights and soldiers who follow him, and if he doesn't have enough power, how can he fight for the rights and interests of his family in the future?

"This is my order, as the commander-in-chief!"

Garcia said coldly, already having murderous intentions.

If the other party persists in his obsession, he will hang him to death with the authority of the coach!

Even if he sets up another branch, he is still a direct member of the powerful Wellington family!

"Okay! You are the commander-in-chief..."

Smith obviously noticed something was wrong around him, especially the knights under Garcia's command who had already grasped the hilt of their swords.

Wisely, he gave in and left, muttering curses.

Woohoo!

A low horn sounded, and the army slowly retreated.

Garcia walked at the end, and when he heard the cheers coming from the city wall, his face was a little dazed: "Baron William...will he be my biggest enemy?"

…

With the withdrawal of Viscount Garcia, the haze that the red lions brought to Fengying Plain with their sharp claws and fangs seemed to gradually dissipate a little.

At the same time, the story about Baron William's unparalleled bravery, retaking Whistling City, and defeating Garcia quickly spread throughout the Fengying Plain.

Countless bards were singing in taverns and at crossroads about the prowess of Lord Kalos, and the reputation of the commoner swordsman in the former martial arts competition was even more talked about.

I don’t know how long it took, but following the call from Baron William’s envoy and Lady Emmaris, the surviving blue-blooded nobles from across the Wind Firefly Plains gathered in Whistling City.

"Has the era of tigers passed?"

Viscount Bale led an army of one thousand men and slowly drove through the gates of Whistling City.

Seeing that the old blue tiger flag was torn off and replaced with the brand new Sword and Shield family emblem, a look of deep emotion appeared on his face.

The newly added traces of sword slashes and gunpowder explosions on the city wall made his pupils shrink, and he couldn't help but stop for a long time, looking at the huge wooden cannons on the city wall.

It is rumored that Baron William has received a gift from God and has the ability to create a holy fire. It is contained in the wood and can make the world tremble when activated!

This was the rhetoric of the church, and Viscount Burrough scorned it, believing even more that the baron had tinkered with some powerful weapon, but he had entrusted it to God.

However, no matter how you put it, that kind of powerful power is known to all the scouts. You can tell it by looking at the anxious faces of other minor nobles.

They only have an army of less than a few hundred people. Maybe they will collapse with just a few shots of the Holy Fire!

‘This must be the product of a deal with the devil! ’

Viscount Bale thought bitterly in his heart, and couldn't help but feel extremely jealous.

‘Presumably at this time, many blue bloods have secretly sworn allegiance to that person, right? ’

Thinking about what envoy Wu Ming said, Viscount Bale couldn't help but feel agitated.

'I will marry the legitimate daughter of the Earl of Blue Mountain and judge the Viscount of Eagle Castle in Howling Castle. All the bluebloods in the Windfire Plains must unite under my banner and expel the Wellington family from the Windfire Plains. go out! ’

At this time when the blue bloods have lost their leader and are uneasy, a strong leader who appears as a savior is simply the inevitable trend!

Although the strength of the blue-blooded nobles was greatly reduced, the foundation accumulated over thousands of years, as well as those bloodline branches, the knights and lords, once united, would be a huge force.

Not to mention, at this time, Baron William not only owned the original Earl's Whistling Castle, but also had more than 5,000 troops under his command!

Such strength, even if the Earl of Blue Mountain is still there, is a bit difficult to compete with.

Although Viscount Bale also brought a thousand people over, after seeing this scene, he couldn't help but feel a deep chill in his heart.

"Viscount Burrough! Welcome!"

After entering Whistling City, Tana came up to her with a smile on her face: "We have prepared enough tents and dry food for a thousand people. Let me take you to the camp. Please stay outside the city. The Baron has already The banquet has been arranged in the Whistling Castle, and we look forward to the Viscount’s visit!”

Viscount Burrough was noncommittal, looking around with a look of scrutiny on his face.

The streets had been cleared in advance, but some people could still be seen in the surrounding houses, and even the shops were still half-open.

This kind of security environment is quite good.

Viscount Bale nodded silently in his mind, but when he saw the military camp, he was even more surprised.

The entire Whistling City has specially reserved an area for them. The areas are clearly divided and the flags of various nobles are hung. They can move in as soon as they arrive.

Several camps were already inhabited by soldiers. They looked rosy-cheeked and their clothes were very neat. There was no smell of cow and horse excrement. Outside the city, Wu Ming set up a special livestock stable to store horses and send them out. Lots of grooms to look after.

Buckets of oatmeal bread, rum, and even baskets of fresh vegetables and fruits were carried by citizens and brought into the military camp. There was a busy scene everywhere.

‘Oh my god…how did Baron William do it? He seems to have the support of the entire city! ’

A low voice sounded from behind Viscount Burrough.

It was a young nobleman with a handsome face and blue hair: "Even the Earl of Blue Mountain would find it very difficult to do this!"

The Earl of Blue Mountain was only the ruler of Whistling City in the daytime and had not touched the darkness, but Wu Ming was different! After conquering Emmaris, he has gained the effectiveness of the merchants in the entire black market and the support of the church. In terms of mobilizing supplies and manpower, he has almost doubled the amount of the previous count!

Only by mastering darkness, light, and faith can he have the confidence to say that he has mastered the entire Whistling Castle!

The significance of this is truly extraordinary.

"Uncle Baler, what should we do?"

Looking at the high-spirited figure of Lord Tana setting up the military camp, the young nobleman moved his lips: "Are we going to let a free citizen climb on top of us? He is not blue-blooded after all!"

"Charles, you are right on one point!"

Viscount Burrough nodded: "For us blue bloods, the Wellington family from the highlands is an outsider, and this William is also an outsider! But there is one thing about him that is very scary, he can use the dragon heart!"

This magical weapon is quite famous, and it is a clear proof that William has the blood of the conqueror in his veins.

"But... witches and mages also have ways to break the above restrictions!"

Charles said unconvinced.

After all, he was about the same age as William, but at this time he was just a little knight. Seeing that the other party had achieved such great achievements and was about to move towards greater glory, jealousy and secret hatred were inevitable.

"Yes, so I have sent people to spread rumors and question William's bloodline!"

Viscount Bale's eyes were dark and he lowered his voice: "It's just that he is still planning to marry Ada. If he becomes the son-in-law of the Earl of Blue Mountain, it will be quite disadvantageous for us!"

"I need you to find a few people, Baron Elf, Sir Tom, and Adams..."

These people, who were also the earl's sons-in-law, could theoretically cause trouble for William.

‘Fengying Plains has always belonged to the orthodox blue-bloods, but a branch wants to gain dominance? ’

Viscount Burrough looked in the direction of Whistling Castle with dark eyes...

…

In the evening, a grand banquet was held in the Howling Castle.

No matter how much they wanted to fight each other in their hearts, the blue bloods at this time were still graceful on the surface. They all put on their best evening clothes and greeted each other politely.

The noble ladies wore gorgeous dresses and flew around in the ball like butterflies wearing flowers, swaying a few young nobles to their wits' end.

Wu Ming even had a lively conversation with Viscount Burrough, walking arm in arm and exchanging ideas on hunting and raising hounds.

"Everyone!"

As the nominal owner of Whistling Castle, Lady Emmaris also appears.

Today she was wearing a black dress, without much makeup, and her face was solemn and meticulous.

As a widow, this look suited her perfectly.

Emmaris picked up the wine glass with a silver spoon, attracting everyone's attention.

"In the previous war, we suffered an unfortunate fate. My husband died in the battle, and the same happened to my son. Even the castle where I lived was occupied..."

Her voice is low and solemn, and she is very good at mobilizing emotions. The sadness in her words is strong enough to make people cry.

This is a woman who is very good at acting, no matter when she is!

"Fortunately, there is William! He bravely defeated the enemy and won honor and victory for us!"

Emmaris raised her glass: "Let us cheer for him!"

"William! William!"

Baron Terry, Baron Wilfer, and several minor nobles who had secretly defected to Wu Ming, immediately clapped and cheered loudly.

Seeing this scene, Viscount Burrough's smile was a little forced, but he still raised a glass of congratulations to Wu Ming in a graceful manner.

"I have another announcement to make!"

When the atmosphere was at its most intense, Lady Emmaris blushed and said loudly: "I will carry out my husband's last wish, marry my daughter Ada to Baron William, and ask him to be the guardian of Whistling Castle! "

As soon as these words were spoken, Viscount Bale's expression turned extremely ugly.
