From Baron to Lord

As an old earl's territory, the Steel Fist Territory is inevitably vast. Besides the main city, Steel Fist City, there are also fifteen smaller cities and even more towns. "According to the Ranger's report, they have already reached the vicinity of Black Leaf City and can arrive here by this evening," Marco said with a hint of solemnity.

"Oh? It seems our new neighbor is quite anxious, thinking of ambushing us so quickly?" Allen curled his lips. Frod was too impatient and conceited.

Allen estimated the time; the enemy should arrive in a few hours. With a wave of his hand, a set of golden knight armor and a knight's sword appeared on the table in front of him.

This was Marco's set.

"Go change into it. Trust me, this knight armor is very comfortable."

Allen smiled at Marco and said, "Also, distribute these to the warriors on the arrow towers." Besides taking out a set of golden knight armor, Allen also took out a pile of black alchemical bombs.

These were all Boltzmann's stock from this period, not much, but Allen didn't intend to decide the battle with alchemical bombs.

It just so happened that Frod ran into the muzzle of the gun, and Allen planned to test the effect on the opposing people. "Lord, what is this?"

Marco had never seen this thing before, so it was quite unfamiliar to him.

"Hmm, grenades, or you can call them low-end versions of alchemical bombs, specially researched for ordinary warriors to use. The method of use is very simple: pull open that small ring and throw it out. Of course, you have to throw it near the enemy." Allen briefly explained, and Marco's eyes lit up. "Is there really such a convenient weapon?"

"Did that alchemist make this?"

Marco was somewhat shocked that the unreliable guy could actually provide him with help.

"Yeah, there aren't many proficient ones yet. Let the warriors adapt a bit. The main thing is to have a real confrontation." Allen said casually.

Soon, Marco left to change the knight armor and distribute the grenades.

Allen closed his eyes directly, preparing to rest for a while.

Just then, a familiar voice came.

"Allen! Allen, come out for me! I just saw you!"

Lacey stood at the door, shouting. Beside her were several air cavalrymen with helpless expressions.

As for the other seven children, they were attracted by the air cavalry's griffins.

Allen walked out of the wooden house, raising an eyebrow at Lacey. "Princess Lacey, what are you doing here?" "Allen, what are you doing here? Wearing knight armor, is there a war breaking out here?" Lacey frowned slightly.

"Yes, so Your Highness, you should return to Skywolf City."

Allen didn't deny it. At this time, a violent turmoil was about to begin, and there was no point in denying it now.

"Impossible! This is the border between Steel Fist Territory and Skywolf Territory! Do you mean that you and Earl Steel Fist have started a war?"

Lacey's tone was somewhat heavy. A war between two earls in the duchy was the biggest taboo, which meant that one of them had betrayed the duchy!

Generally speaking, this kind of situation would never happen, because the earl's betrayal would face the duke's thunderous blow.

No earl could withstand a duke for even a moment.

Lacey clenched her fists, staring at Allen without moving. If an earl dared to betray the duchy, it meant that the duchy had lost its deterrent power, which meant that Duke Ryan might be in a dangerous situation.

"Yes, Princess, not only Earl Steel Fist, but also many guys hiding in the shadows. These are all subordinates of your second brother, Lecton."

Allen was too lazy to beat around the bush with Lacey and directly revealed that the Second Prince Lecton wanted to seize power.

"No! Impossible! Even if Father leaves the royal capital, there is still… there is still Brother Leiner Sen…"

Speaking of this, Lacey suddenly widened her eyes in horror. If what Allen said was true, then… Leiner Sen's current situation was definitely also very dangerous!

"His Highness the Great Prince may not be too clear about this matter. I only guessed this information not long ago. Now, the new Earl Steel Fist leading his troops south to attack Skywolf Territory has confirmed that my guesses are all correct."

Allen said calmly, glancing at the north: "A war is about to break out here. I don't have time to take care of you, Your Highness. You'd better return to Skywolf City."

"Allen!"

Although Allen didn't say much, Lacey almost understood the basic situation.

The duchy was in turmoil, the second brother wanted to seize power, and Leiner Sen's life was in danger after the power seizure!

In this situation, Lacey suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness.

"Anything else, Your Highness?"

Allen frowned slightly.

"You must win."

Lacey found that she could do nothing but hope that Allen would win.

"That's for sure."

Allen smiled.

"I want to stay. I don't need you to take care of me. I know magic. I want to be with you."

A trace of anger flashed in Lacey's eyes. This was anger at Frod and also anger at Lecton.

"No way."

Allen said calmly. Taking Lacey to the battlefield?

What a joke.

Allen flatly refused Lacey's request and then sent someone to forcibly take the little princess away.

Although the woman kept making noise, she was still taken away.

Watching Lacey being taken away, the golden knight and several silver knights beside Lacey suddenly showed a grateful look.

They were just knights; they could advise Lacey, but they couldn't interfere with Lacey's decision.

Now, the only one who dared to be tough on Lacey was probably Allen, and the main thing was that Lacey would listen to Allen.

After sending Lacey and the seven students away, Allen ordered everyone to start preparing for battle. Half a day later, a dense group of troops appeared on the horizon in the north.

The Steel Fist Territory's forces had finally arrived.

"Finally here!"

Frod exhaled a white mist. The cold weather made him feel a little uncomfortable.

He looked at the tall arrow towers in the distance, a trace of disdain flashing in his eyes.

"Arrow towers?"

Frod said mockingly: "Building arrow towers on the plains? Ridiculous, this Earl Skywolf is truly ~ only famous in name."

At this moment, the new Earl Steel Fist, wearing knight armor, was riding a warhorse. Beside him was a knight order of nearly four hundred people. Behind the knight order, there were one or two thousand cavalrymen, and the remaining thirty thousand were infantry.

Frod felt very satisfied with this. The combat power of the Steel Fist Territory was definitely among the best among the earls!

Frod had enough confidence to conquer the Skywolf Territory.

After all, he had Earl Guster's help.

Frod looked at the two middle-aged golden knights beside him.

Two golden knights were enough for him to sweep the Skywolf Territory.

Skywolf Territory had just been established, and apart from Allen, Frod felt that there was no way there could be other golden knights in just a few months.

Two golden knights were enough to kill that damned Earl Skywolf, right?

Frod had already begun to imagine the scene after he conquered the Skywolf Territory.

Skywolf Territory has four representative industries.

Wine, perfume, maltose, and gourmet food.

These four industries are all highly profitable industries, enough to attract everyone's attention!

In peacetime, with Duke Ryan here, who would dare to be presumptuous?

But now is not peacetime.

Frod smiled, even if Allen was someone that the Marquis or even his father was optimistic about, so what?

Wasn't he still going to fall into his hands.

"Frod!"

In the distance, Allen's voice came.

At this moment, the sky had already begun to darken, and there was probably only a little over an hour before dark.

The not-so-strong sunlight fell on Allen's golden knight armor, making him appear incomparably dazzling.

Allen hovered in the sky, calmly looking at the Steel Fist Territory's troops on the ground.

"Allen!"

A trace of jealousy flashed in Frod's eyes, yes, jealousy. He was jealous of Allen's youth and accomplishment, that he had obtained the opportunity to be conferred as an earl at the age of less than sixteen!

He was jealous that Allen had become a golden knight at only sixteen years old.

He was jealous that Allen had four highly profitable industries in his hands.

He was jealous of too much.

"Frod, you have betrayed the Ryan Duchy."

Allen opened his mouth as if he were reading out a crime: "Your greed, selfishness, ignorance, and stupidity will make the Steel Fist Territory a history, the Steel Fist family's historical sinner, Frod."

Allen's voice spread in all directions.

Frod's expression was ugly: "Allen! Shut up, you damned fellow!"

Allen calmly looked at the other party: "Does the Steel Fist Territory still have two golden knights?"

He had already seen the two silent golden knights beside Frod.

"Heh, how can you imagine the strength of the Steel Fist Territory, Allen, today is your death date! Everything you have will be mine!"

Frod said grimly.

Then he said to the knight order beside him: "Knight order, charge for me, let these foolish guys know that nothing can meet the charge of the knight order on the plains!"

Frod said with a cruel expression. Although arrow towers are indispensable in defensive fortifications, nothing can stop the steel torrent of knights on the plains!

In his opinion, Allen's defensive fortifications were simply a joke.

"Charge!"
