Pendragon urgently needed a political ally to help him stabilize his rule in Lacacia. At this time, Mordrake learned about Ji Ran from the merchant. He heard that she had gone to the East and was trapped. At Hardman's estate.

Mordrake once wanted to pay a large sum of money to entrust a businessman to redeem Ji Ran from Hardman's hands. However, the greedy Hardman not only did not agree, but instead withheld the ransom secretly and expelled the businessman. Out of the manor.

After Mordrake learned the news, Thunder was furious and planned to teach the arrogant Hardman a lesson. He gave Hardman an ultimatum. However, after Hardman received Mordrake's ultimatum, Not only did he not restrain himself, but he became even more arrogant. He even tore the ultimatum to pieces in front of the envoy and forced the envoy to swallow it. What was even more annoying was that he actually fed the envoy he sent pig feed. It was a huge humiliation to Mordrake.

Mordrac couldn't tolerate it and decided to send troops to teach Hardman a lesson.

Mordrake's desire for revenge coincided with Pendragon's plan.

He was in need of a general who could conquer the world for him, and Mordrake was still the best choice. First of all, he was Pandraken's son. The relationship between flesh and blood made Pandraken very relieved. Secondly, Mordrake Ke's heart is full of hatred, and he will fight with all his strength. In addition, Pendragon has always regarded Mordrake as his future heir, and Mordrake is still young and has not made enough contributions to Lacacia. , so his political capital is not strong.

If this Eastern Expedition succeeds, it will undoubtedly gain Mordrake great prestige, and he will be able to naturally inherit his throne in the future.

With the above comprehensive considerations in mind, Pendragon defied all opinions and accepted Mordrake as the central commander of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, leading 5000 men on the expedition.

Originally, this Eastern Expedition was not favored by anyone. Many old nobles even thought it was a crazy suicide action. You must know that the bridgehead on the Taiour River has not been captured in 300 years since it was built. Attacking Taiour River Castle was tantamount to humiliating themselves, and they were happy to see Mordrake embarrassed in front of everyone.

However, shortly after Mordrake went on the expedition, miraculously good news came from the front line. Mordrake actually captured the Tyour River Fort, even pulled out the Pest Barracks, and occupied Alashankou in one fell swoop, controlling The only way in and out of the Ligurian plain.

This means that the entire Liguria Plain is now open and there is no danger to defend it.

As long as they concentrate their superior forces, they can completely capture the entire fertile Liguria Plain.

When the nobles of Lacassia received the news, they were shocked and full of disbelief. It was like a snake swallowing a humpback whale, which was unbelievable.

However, there will be no lies in the army, and the informants placed by these nobles in the army also reported the matter secretly, confirming that Mordrake's Eastern Expedition Army has conquered Alashankou, and he is now reorganizing the army. An attack on the Liguria plain could be launched at any time.

After receiving the news from the front line, the old nobles of La Cascia were completely unable to sit still. This was like eating crabs. Some people disliked the crab shells as being too hard and did not have much appetite for crabs. Although they knew that crab meat was delicious, they

, too lazy to break the crab shell, but now someone has broken the crab shell open, and the rest is to eat the meat. How can these nobles sit still?

The nobles who had previously opposed the Eastern Expedition immediately shifted their fronts and firmly stood in the camp of the main war faction.

Each noble began to recruit as many soldiers as possible, and even spent a lot of money to hire mercenary groups to join the war.

Although war means huge expenses, the huge rewards obtained after victory in the war are enough to make up for all the losses in the war, and even unexpectedly greater rights and wealth will be obtained.

Driven by interests, the Kingdom of Lacassia, from top to bottom, began various ideological propaganda work, portraying the Eastern Ligurias Nadir Federation, which was previously a good neighbor, as a greedy, disgusting evil. The character also claimed that Taiur River Fort and Alashankou have been Lacassia's territory since ancient times. This war was completely Lacacia's forced self-defense. He encouraged all the passionate men of Lacassia to participate in the battle and support the country. The forces of evil are driven out from the sacred plain of Liguria.

ps: The Ligurian Snadir Federation is the name of the alliance of vassal states on the Ligurian Plain. Because it inherited the land of the ancient Ligurian Empire, the name of the federation still uses the name of the ancient Ligurian Empire. Among them, Ligurian Snadir means inheriting the Ligurian Empire. This mostly refers to inheriting the Ligurian Plain, and also implies politically inheriting the orthodox rule of the Ligurian Empire. In other words, It is to show that they have the legal right to rule this land.

Because there is not only one country on the Liguria Plain. In fact, there are five or six large principalities in the big countries. If you include the lords and the uncles, there are dozens. These countries check and balance each other, and no one country They were able to achieve the complete unification of Liguria, but they wanted to continue to maintain the status quo, so they formed the Ligurian Snadir Federation to recognize each other's orthodoxy and at the same time strengthen each other's dominance.

The people who don’t know the truth naturally don’t know what’s going on. They have lived in Lacacia for generations. Some people have not even left the villages where they live. How can they know Taiur River Fort and Alashankou?

We don’t even know where the Ligurias Nadir Federation is.

However, the king and the nobles had publicized it, and they naturally followed it blindly without much thought. After all, the power of speech was in the hands of the nobles. What they said was what they said. As an honest peasant, he should obey the call of the kingdom. , we will go wherever the king tells us to go.

Lacacia quickly formed three expeditionary forces and headed to the front line one after another.

When there was a big movement behind Lacassia, Mordrake in front had already received the news.

When they heard that the shameless nobles of Lacacia wanted to grab the cake, Mordrake's subordinates couldn't hold it any longer.

"These shameful guys didn't come when they were chewing hard bones. Now they are dividing the meat and eating it. They are more active. Isn't this an obvious attempt to steal the fruits of our victory? In my opinion, we should demolish the Taiour River Fort. The drawbridge will allow them to cross the Taiour River by themselves," said the angry Halke.

"Yes, if they want to eat meat, let them hunt by themselves. Why should they rob us?" Redspiel also said angrily.
