Baron Shane knew the roads around here with his eyes closed.

He knew that he was only two or three hours away from General Michel's camp.

There was no obstacle except a village in between.

There was no danger either, and no fool would mess around near an army of 50,000.

So he asked the soldiers to go on the road without even wearing leather armor, and just took weapons.

The subsequent baggage was pulled over by the convoy.

But he didn't know that his every move had been sold out in advance.

The reason?

It's very simple, Rockman gave too much.

So when Baron Shane saw the neat army blocking the road, the two-headed dragon flag fluttered in the wind.

On one side were the elite troops who were resting and gathering strength, and on the other side were the scattered soldiers who were exhausted.

When the charge horn sounded, everything was over.

Half an hour later, a large number of enemy prisoners were tied together with ropes and squatted on the side of the road.

The noble Baron Shane was also escorted by Rockman's soldiers to see the enemy's general.

"I am a baron, a baron personally appointed by King Bruno, and I demand noble treatment."

Baron Shane yelled, not because he was disrespectful, but because these peasants were too cruel.

They just tied his hands with a hemp rope and dragged him away.

How could a dignified baron behave like this?

The centurion in charge of the command was a veteran who had followed Duke Leopold since he started.

In his eyes, the so-called baron was no different from a fat pig.

"Baron, right? I personally hanged a noble from your Holy Cross Kingdom, but it's a pity that you are just a knight. If you make a fuss again, I don't mind breaking this record."

Baron Shane immediately became honest after the centurion threatened.

If it were someone else, he would never give up so easily and would make these peasants pay the price.

But Duke Leopold had a criminal record. He had just hanged a group of low-level nobles two and a half years ago. At that time, the nobles of the Holy Cross Kingdom were indignant and shouted that they wanted to bring the other party to trial.

As one of the participants at that time, Baron Shane knew it too well.

However, when it was his turn to face these executioners, he wisely backed off.

Being captured by Rockman is not terrible, but being captured by Duke Leopold's men is terrible.

Other people's threats may be just threats, but the one in front of him is different. He really has a criminal record.

The centurion saw that the other party was quiet, and secretly thought that the Duke was right.

Nothing can make people shut up more than a bloody butcher knife. If you can't... just give him a knife, and he will naturally be quiet.

"Now, cooperate with me to take care of your people. If something unexpected happens, believe me... you won't like it."

Baron Shane nodded desperately. He once thought that his loyalty to the king was extraordinary, just like Baron Haley.

But now, he just wants to live well.

"Only by living can we serve His Majesty the King." Baron Shane convinced himself.

With the help of this local noble, the captured soldiers were easily controlled.

Just leave a team to watch the baron, and naturally watch all the captives.

...

Earl Connor finally received intelligence that the royal private army was attacked, which was a big deal.

Combining various signs, he realized that danger was approaching.

"Father."

Baron Balin hurried over. He came when he heard the news of Rockman's attack.

"What do you want to do?"

"Balin, you knew it a long time ago, right?" Earl Connor finally remembered his good son

Contact the sudden appearance of his son who never came to the barracks, and then look at Rockman's actions, everything is self-evident.

He was angry at first, but soon figured it out.

Rockman must have promised something, and given Balin's situation, he would definitely accept it.

His own son is his own son after all.

And... it might be a way out.

If Earl Connor lost his temper, Baron Balin would bite his teeth and bear it.

He even thought of worse results, such as being locked up and his father forcibly sending troops.

But Earl Connor sat back down.

"Father?"

"Barin, you made the right choice," Earl Connor motioned him to sit opposite him: "Once you have seized the opportunity, you can't let it go. As a father... I will give you another gift.

Half a day, I won't take any action in half a day, which is enough for you to report."

Baron Barin was moved. He was indeed a father.

He even regretted a little that he shouldn't have calculated his father for a little land.

However... I won't regret it. I'm honest even though I say it.

"Don't worry, I will definitely make a name for myself and pass on the bloodline of my family." Baron Barin swore.

Earl Connor did not comment. Since he chose to help his son, he should be calm.

Of course, the army can be temporarily immobilized, but the intelligence cannot stop.

As the surrounding information continued to gather, some nobles finally began to act. The Rock people seemed to be few in number and were currently blocked by the royal private army.

As long as everyone supported from all sides, the situation would soon be reversed.

"McGlengar is too proud, thinking that he can defeat us with a sneak attack?" Connor thought, but he always felt that something was wrong.

It is not easy to extract accurate information from the vast amount of intelligence.

His intuition told him that there might be a trap here.

But his experience told him that he had to act.

Otherwise, the royal private army will be severely damaged, and everyone will be under too much pressure in the future.

And if you don't help the dying, do you really think the king's sword is not sharp?

Half a day passed, and Earl Connor stood up, his eyes regained the sharpness of his youth.

"Ballin, go and report the news."

"Father..."

Baron Barin stood up, hesitant to speak, he actually wanted to persuade his father to continue waiting.

But facing the sharp gaze, he couldn't bear it, and subconsciously took a step back.

Earl Connor then walked past him.

The personal soldiers put a cloak on him, and the latter mounted the horse and led the army to rescue.

Baron Barin watched the army set off, stomped his feet, and left.

There is a very interesting phenomenon on the battlefield now. Everyone is coming from all directions, and the news received is the same.

It feels that their own people are everywhere, and the Rockman will definitely not be able to escape.

But in fact, large and small armies blocked them. They may not be defeated, but they will definitely be dragged down.

And it was like being blind. Derek's central army was stationed there, but no army could get close, so naturally there was no understanding.

Derek kept his troops in place and waited.

He didn't become alert until Earl Connor moved.

Persuading?

No, his purpose was not to persuade from the beginning.

Earl Connor was not a pushover, how could he be stopped by a son so easily?

"Besiege a point and attack the reinforcements. See? Besiege the enemy and they must come to the rescue. Use the majority to attack the minority, and attack the reinforcements with intention and without intention." Derek did not forget to teach the officers.
