Chapter 47 Earl Sauron’s Ambition

Sauron collar.

Located on the coast, Sorrenborg is a traditional Norman Empire-style lord's castle that has stood on the seaside for nearly a hundred years.

Its walls have been polished over the years, and have left countless mottled marks after being ravaged by sea wind and waves again and again.

The sea breeze blew into the castle through the windows and brushed Earl Sauron's white hair.

Cory Buckley, Earl of Sauron, who is fifty-six years old, is leaning on a gorgeous chair. He looks past the candlestick on the table and stares blankly at a picture hanging on the wall. Huge map.

What is depicted on the map is the Sauron Territory and the Grand Highlands to the south of the Sauron Territory.

The dispute between the Sauron Territory and the Idar Territory over the Glen Highlands has never ended. It seems that since the first Earl of Sauron was granted the title, these two neighbors have fought countless times. After these years of competition, the two sides have each other's feelings. No one gives in to victory or defeat, and they even glare at each other every time they meet.

However, Earl Sauron finally took the initiative in the conflicts in previous years and took over a large area of ​​territory that originally belonged to the Idar Territory.

The reason is that the old earl of Idar has passed away, and the new earl of Idar, Bruno Stuart, is just a young prodigal who eats and drinks and spends a lot of money. Everything is supported by the great butler, Old Ford...

The victory after victory made the old Earl Sauron ecstatic, and from this he came up with the idea of ​​​​devouring the Glen Highlands completely.

Let the Glen Highlands completely become part of the Sauron Territory!

This goal has almost become the motivation for the aging Earl Sauron to continue living!

Earl Sauron deeply believed that with only one more war, the Sauron Territory could drive the Stuart family of the Idar Territory out of the Glen Highlands forever.

He has long been salivating over the iron ore in the Glen Highlands, but he has been unable to carry out large-scale mining in the Glen Highlands because of his eager neighbor, Idar.

only……

In the view of Earl Sauron, the opportunity to completely defeat the Idar Territory has arrived!

The hanging garden is a huge project, and it is impossible to hide it from the neighbors. Besides, Bruno has never thought of hiding it...

The prodigal nobleman next door spent a lot of money to build a garden, and this news had already been submitted to Earl Sauron's desk.

"The cost of thousands of gold coins a month... It seems that that little guy is planning to give up the Glen Highlands..." Earl Sauron said to himself.

In fact, Earl Sauron didn't quite believe it when he first heard the news.

Are you kidding me?

These aristocratic territories in the eastern part of the empire are all like bears. They want money but no money, and they want people but no one. It would be great if they could have a tax revenue of four to five thousand gold coins a year. Where do you get so much spare money to build gardens? .

Not to mention the remote east, I am afraid that even the ordinary earls and lords in the wealthy places in the central and western parts of the empire cannot afford to spend thousands of gold coins every month!

In his opinion, if you want to build a garden of this size, you must have the financial resources of a marquis or even a duke!

As for the Idar Territory? It’s simply impossible!

However, the large-scale personnel mobilization and resource allocation carried out by the Idar Territory in recent days undoubtedly enhanced the credibility of the source, which forced Earl Sauron to believe this ridiculous intelligence.

Therefore, Earl Sauron firmly believes that this has never been a better time!

Once he can successfully swallow up the Glen Highlands, with the support of the huge iron ore in the Glen Highlands, he will become one of the top nobles in the entire eastern empire!

Maybe... I can still become a noble member of the Regency Council!

When he thought of this, Earl Sauron suddenly felt elated.

The seats allocated to the eastern part of the empire by the Regency Council are very few, and almost all of them have been divided up by a few old guys in the Vals Plains. If you become a member of the Regency Council, there will be many benefits...

Earl Sauron thought further and further, and unknowingly, a happy smile appeared on his old face...

"Father……"

When Earl Sauron was indulging in his fantasy, a sudden voice interrupted his beautiful fantasy.

"What?" Earl Sauron asked angrily.

The person who came was none other than the eldest son of Earl Sauron, Herman Buckley.

Herman Barkley is in his early thirties. He has golden hair, is very tall and thick, and is in sharp contrast to the skinny Duke Sauron.

"I heard you were looking for me?" Herman asked directly.

As the only son of the Earl of Sauron, Herman Buckley is currently in charge of all the soldiers of the Sauron Territory, and personally participated in the battle for the Glen Highlands with the Idar Territory in previous years.

As the sole heir of the Earl of Sauron, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net the young and energetic Herman Barkley perfectly fits the proud attitude of the nobles of the Norman Empire today, and regards the dignity of the nobles as the most important thing.

"It's almost spring, it's time to call back those lazy soldiers." The old Earl Sauron said in a deep voice.

"You mean..." Hearing Earl Sauron's words, Herman Buckley's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Gather the knights and soldiers under your command, strive to completely annex the Glen Highlands before the spring plowing begins, and drive all the Idar people into the garden they spent a lot of money to build!" Earl Sauron ordered.

"Haha..." Herman Buckley laughed and said, "Don't worry, father, give me some time. In less than a month, my son will be able to have afternoon tea in that garden..."

The generosity of Bruno Stuart, Earl of Idar, who spent huge sums of money to build a garden has already made people laugh. In Herman Barkley's view, the current Idar territory is not even considered a strong foreign power, and maybe even the soldiers' pay has been lost. Not coming out.

And if I were to attack the Idar Territory now... the opponent might collapse at the first touch, and it would just be a formality.

It’s not that Herman Barkley underestimates his opponent, but that Bruno Stuart has always given people the impression that he is an out-and-out loser...

"Having said that... But you should be careful. It is said that the young Count Idar integrated the army of Idar a few days ago. I don't know what happened..." Count Sauron was a little uneasy. warned.

"Just him? How can a kid who has never been on the battlefield know how to train an army? He is just messing around." Herman Barkley didn't care at all.
