Reborn Dragon Vein Warlock, Genius Beauty Mage
Chapter 286 Another Wave (1)
After hearing this, Christine felt that Carlottani was right. This matter had nothing to do with her, so why worry about it. At the same time, she reflected on whether she had been meddling with too many things recently and had become a habit.
Although the Mage Tower and the Nantes City Mage Guild were destroyed by the bombing, because most of the mages were fighting against the demon army at that time, only a few mages officially died.
The remaining mages reported to the headquarters and investigated the incident.
The city guards did not mention the door-to-door search and questioning of surrounding residents, and the mages entrusted the Thieves Guild and the Adventurer Guild to see if they had any clues.
The headquarters responded quickly, saying that a mage proficient in prophecy spells had been sent over, but it was a pity that the master level couldn't get away.
Although the explosion of the mage tower occurred, the Count of Nantes held a grand banquet that night to celebrate the defeat of the demon army.
Christine, Matthew Laurent Knight, and all the masters are naturally the core focus of the banquet. Especially Christine, who is not only a marquis but also has two masters in the family. Now her status is only lower than that of the king, which is already high on the mainland.
The next morning, the Earl of Nantes held a meeting of nobles to discuss matters related to recovering the lost territory. It's not about how diligent the nobles are, but it's about their own territory. If they really miss it by a day or two and don't have time to take it back, they will regret it for the rest of their lives.
Baron Le Mans and Baron Laval originally arranged for their second sons to live in Nantes in order to spread risks. Now the two families are almost completely wiped out. These two people attended the meeting, and they are also the future barons.
Although the territories of Viscount Angers and Baron Shaoying were captured and destroyed by demons, the family members had already withdrawn without any losses, so they were all present in person.
There were also some field lords and their heirs, as well as representatives from various churches and organizations, who also filled the city hall meeting room.
Originally, Christine wanted to go back today, but in the morning she received a magic letter from her uncle Liam, saying that all the villages that had been captured by demons in Laval, Le Mans, Angers, and half of Nantes had been recovered. .
This is equivalent to occupying three-fifths of the entire Loire County. When the news is announced, the reaction of the nobles present will be very fierce. Considering that the territorial diplomat Lord Pierre Legrand may not be able to suppress Well, Christine decided to attend today's meeting in person.
According to the letter, there are about seventy villages and towns (counting lords and knights) where local nobles in the Loire County were captured by demons. In order to gain time, Liam divided the 600 cavalry into 60 teams, paired with guides and several mercenary adventurers, and rushed to those villages day and night. Two thousand infantrymen in carriages then provided support, and the remaining two thousand infantrymen protected the refugees who moved back slowly.
Due to Christine's request, the caravans affiliated with the Tulip Chamber of Commerce will collect all useful information outside, so their familiarity with the terrain of Loire County is second only to the local lord. In order to obtain a military title, Harland sent out the people who were most familiar with the road to follow the soldiers. He himself followed Liam and followed orders at any time.
The demon army destroyed the village and then left, but there were bound to be little demons left behind. It was very risky for a dozen people to take back a village. That is to say, the cavalry led by Stuart was well-equipped, so Liam dared to take such a risk.
What's more important is that Olivia has assigned a legal apprentice or even a formal legal professional to each of the twenty furthest cavalry teams, carrying a large number of spell scrolls, which is equivalent to increasing the combat effectiveness of ten additional people. The legal professions led by Stewart are not flowers in the greenhouse. They have all been on the battlefield and killed demons with spells.
The current situation is that all the lost villages and towns have been recaptured by Stewart's soldiers, even if there are only a dozen soldiers in the village. As for re-establishing the altar and connecting it to the divine power network, even if there are still two months from the first lost village, it is enough.
So after the Count of Nantes finished his opening remarks, Lord Pierre Legrand signaled that he wanted to speak.
"Lord Legrand, what do you have to say?"
It is not the time to speak yet. If a lord wants to speak, he will definitely be scolded. However, he is a nobleman from Stewart, and the Earl of Nantes cannot help but give Christine face.
Lord Pierre Legrand stood up and saluted and said: "Dear sirs, I have just received a magical message. The army led by Stuart has eliminated the evil that occupied the village and regained all the lost land from the devil."
"What? Say it again." Because the news was so shocking, many nobles showed expressions of disbelief.
"Dear sirs, I just received a magical message..." Lord Legrand repeated what he just said.
"This, how is this possible?"
Although there are no demons in many abandoned villages and towns, they only need to send troops to occupy them, but the soldiers led by Stewart did it in just a few days, which is really shocking. Some smart nobles also guessed that the other party might use cavalry to travel day and night, but there were not many nobles in the country who could afford such a number of cavalry during the disaster, and they would definitely not be able to do it themselves.
Soon, the nobles present thought of a desperate thing. They had signed a rescue agreement with Marquis Stewart, and half of the recaptured villages and towns were to be given to the other party.
When the demon army came over, the king sent troops to rescue because the "Nobles' Convention" clearly stipulated that the king was obliged to protect the safety of his subordinate nobles, but the Marquis of Stewart did not have this obligation. Therefore, the nobles of the Loire County signed a rescue agreement with the Marquis of Stewart. It was only in compliance with the procedures for the other party to send troops to assist in the battle. However, the king paid the price for them.
The Marquis of Stewart did indeed kill three master-level demons and many big demons. Without her, the city of Nantes might not have been able to defend itself.
But no one expected that Christine would start so quickly and occupy all the space the next day. Under normal circumstances, how to recover the lost territory should be discussed at this meeting. Even if the Marquis of Stuart needs to send troops to assist, the nobles involved need to be invited.
But they couldn't say anything about Christine's behavior, because since they signed the rescue agreement, it was reasonable and legal. You asked me to rescue you. You can't drive away the intruder the next day just because I acted quickly. Don't you accept this account?
So everyone turned their attention to the Count of Nantes. He had the highest title among the nobles of the Loire County present, and everyone hoped that he would come forward.
