Reborn Dragon Vein Warlock, Genius Beauty Mage

Normandy County, Carentan Castle.

The densely packed undead creatures were climbing up the castle. The soldiers used their spears to poke down the half-climbed skeletons and zombies. Occasionally, a ghoul or corpse climbed to the top of the city, and the knights rushed to stop it.

This group of undead creatures acted on instinct and were obsessed with destroying all humans they saw on the road, so they surrounded the castle and attacked continuously. It was a good thing, because half a day's walk from the castle was the largest port town in the Carentan Territory, where there were still more than 5,000 refugees who had not had time to escape. It's not that they don't want to escape, but the carrying capacity of merchant ships is limited. For ship owners, those who pay more money must get on first.

But after all, the Carentan Territory is just a viscounty territory. During the demonic disaster, several knights and many soldiers were sacrificed. Now they are unable to withstand the attacks of undead creatures.

Viscount Carentan stood in the tower of the castle and looked at the battlefield below, feeling anxious but unable to do anything.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and the housekeeper walked over and opened the door.

A knight's attendant came in. He bowed and saluted: "I salute you, Lord Viscount."

"What's the news? Have the reinforcements from the King and Duke Stuart arrived?" Viscount Carentan walked over in a few steps and asked anxiously.

"Lord Viscount, this is the letter." The attendant took out a wooden box sealed with fire paint.

Vicomte Carentan took it over, came to the table, picked up the letter cutter, cut open the seal, opened the box, took out the letter and read it quickly.

Since learning about the agreement between the king and the Duke of Stuart, Viscount Carentan organized the people to retreat to the town to wait for rescue. However, he couldn't wait and the undead didn't come even after they reached the castle, so he had to send his eldest son to the nearest port of Le Havre. It was the mouth of the Seine River and was once the largest port in the west of the kingdom. There was a mage tower to communicate with other cities.

After the eldest son of Viscount Carentan arrived at the port of Le Havre, he immediately sent a message to the city of Dominaria to inquire about the reinforcements. The response he received was that the army led by Stewart had already entered Normandy County and began to eliminate the undead.

But what he urgently needed to know now was when the reinforcements for the Viscounty of Carentan would arrive, so he wrote to ask again. The reply he received was that the frontline commander was specifically responsible for this operation. If you want to know the specific situation, you can ask here. , and a reply will be given two days later.

This sounds like an excuse at first sight, but the eldest son of Viscount Carentan has nothing to do. He asked whether the Stuart leader had sent reinforcements by boat to support him, but he did not answer directly. But there is no problem in answering this way. It is common sense that the commanders on the front line are responsible for the battle. People can fight however they want. It is normal for me to not interfere in the rear.

Furthermore, the current military communication in field operations mainly relies on horse-riding messengers. In emergencies, flying troops or mages with flying skills can be sent if conditions permit. As for using birds to send messages, it is impossible. They will definitely be eaten by monsters along the way.

So Stuart led the reply and said that they could send people to inquire. It would take two days to use flying troops to convey the news. If they sent messengers on horseback, they would not be able to come back.

Who doesn't know that Duke Stuart is rich? A combat army of this size will inevitably carry a portable communication array. This kind of communication equipment that requires a carriage to be specially transported is not a problem at all for the army.

But the problem is that I'm giving you a huge favor by agreeing to help you ask. It's not enough to give you a reply within two days. If this matter spreads, any noble will accuse the people of the Viscount Carentan of being ignorant.

I had no choice but to not only agree to wait for two days, but also express my gratitude.

The eldest son of Viscount Carentan felt that this matter was wrong no matter how much he thought about it, so he wrote a magic letter to the capital city of France and entrusted a well-connected noble to help find out the content of the agreement between the king and the Stuart leader.

Because once the agreement is signed, it must be implemented no matter what difficulties are encountered, unless the other party to the agreement understands. Therefore, the eldest son of Viscount Carentan felt that there must be some reason why Stuart leader could do this.

As mentioned before, the local nobles on the ground will have good relations with some honorary nobles in the capital city of France. The former will provide the latter with a sum of money or some opportunities to make money every year, and the latter will provide the former with various news about the capital, and even Some well-informed people also serve more than one of the great nobles on the ground.

These honorary nobles themselves have responsibilities, and they are even personally responsible for many government affairs. And their children served as attendants and maids in the palace, or low-level officials in a certain department. In addition, many families are related to each other through intermarriage. As long as the remuneration is reasonable, it is not easy to find out information that is not confidential.

Because the eldest son of Viscount Carentan promised a very generous reward, the nobleman who provided the information drove to the Parliament of the Nobles at that time, copied the archived agreement verbatim and sent it over. It only took three words to do so. Many hours.

After getting the contents of the agreement, the eldest son of Viscount Carentan took a look and found that the contents were different from what he had heard. It is not completely different, just slightly different. The agreement clearly states that troops will be sent to rescue the city of Caen and to wipe out the undead army in Normandy County, but it does not include any clauses related to the rescue of the Carentan Territory.

This is different from the news I heard. The content of the agreement I heard was that the king entrusted Duke Stuart to rescue all the nobles in Normandy County.

Naturally, there could be no mistake in the agreement, but there was something wrong with the news that reached the Viscounty of Carentan. Of course, neither King Louis nor Christine would nor bother to release false news to deceive people, so what’s the problem? It was the Count of Caen.

After the rescue agreement was signed, the capital city of France sent the official document to the city of Caen through magic transmission, and then the Count of Caen announced it to other nobles. The Count of Caen would never dare to conceal this kind of news or take it out of context, but it is okay to use some language skills when announcing it to give others a wrong impression.

The Barony of Messe has fallen, and the undead are attacking the Count of Caen and the Viscount of Carentan. Isn’t it clear who they are trying to mislead?

So why did the Count of Caen do this? Naturally, it is to reduce losses. If Viscount Carentan knew that no one would come to save him, he would definitely have to pack up his belongings and run away. His territory is surrounded by the sea on three sides. After the fall, the undead creatures will not be able to go anywhere else. They will definitely return the same way, and there is a high probability that they will have to attack the city of Caen.

If Viscount Carentan can hold on for a while and wait for the city of Caen to resolve the immediate danger, it will be easier to deal with the remaining undead army when it comes. It was just a matter of saying a few words to the Count of Caen, so why not give it a try.
