Lord of War

  Moens' face was full of helplessness. After he gave a wry smile, he put a letter on a mahogany wooden table as if resigned to his fate.

  In fact, this is a notice letter.

  The notice letter sent by Panda.

  The content of the notification letter is not complicated, that is, Pandaling wants Yedby to open up military access, allowing Pandaling's troops to pass normally.

  Nobles, there are noble practices and bottom lines.

If you want to pass through the territory of another nobleman, you can not say hello for small-scale team operations, but if it is a large-scale troop movement, then you must obtain the military access granted by the lord, otherwise it is tantamount to provoking the lord. The lord of the territory, this is naturally an invasion. With the aristocracy's good face, it's strange that the other party doesn't smash you like this-of course, this is based on the situation where the power gap between each other is not big.

   There is nothing wrong with Sean’s approach, at least this way of greeting is indeed a decent aristocratic behavior.

  And generally with this kind of application for military access, there will definitely be some related compensation, or a friendly and mutually beneficial policy-you can't make others pay, but there is no benefit at all? Especially the higher the title and status, the larger the compensation plan will usually be. In fact, this is also one of the ways to show the family heritage and strength.

  However, this notice from Pandaling did not offer any compensation, but ended with a sentence.

   "If you do not open military access to me, we will regard this behavior as a provocation to us, and we will take military action if necessary."

   To put it simply, "If you are smart, you can quickly provide us with the military right of passage for free. Otherwise, if our army opens up, I will fight your territory."

threat.

  **Naked threats.

   But Pandaling has this strength, what can you do?

If the general situation is changed, Mornes will definitely open up directly without thinking about it. He is just a baron on the ground. In the face of normal circumstances, even in the Kingdom of Darbion, he can obtain the status of a powerful earl. He is simply Not even able to fight back.

   But this time, he couldn't help but want to agree.

  More than a year ago, he was still a member of the Boulder faction, and took hundreds of private troops to participate in the military operation against Pandaling.

  What is the result?

  Before the war started, the lord of the Chiraf leader was captured alive, the private army of the territory was annihilated, and even the Chiraf leader was completely fallen. Later, when the war officially started, it only took a few hours to be defeated frontally by the opponent even with twice the number of opponents. After that, it was a week of complete chaos and rout. He finally formed a team of five. There were more than a hundred private soldiers, and in the end, fewer than a hundred people came back alive.

   Then there is compensation.

Although the Boulder family also gave some compensation afterwards, it still hurt his vitality. In the next few years, he will only barely maintain the balance of income and expenditure in the territory, let alone expansion and training, even if he wants to. It's impossible to live luxuriously at all. Now the private army in his territory has just mobilized a hundred people, and can only barely maintain the security problems in a small city. Even bandits have begun to appear in the surrounding areas of the territory, and the public security has completely deteriorated. He can't handle it.

   On the other hand, Pandaling has entered a stage of rapid development since that war.

  Now there are as many as 30,000 troops under his command. Although they are scattered in three territories, he is very clear that there are at least tens of thousands of troops in Panda. At the beginning, the strength of the opponent was twice as long and he couldn't win. Now there are only a hundred troops in his territory, but the opponent is 10,000, and the gap with the opponent is a hundred times. How can you fight this battle?

   But if the military access rights are opened...

Not to mention that Sean is a member of the Principality of Ryan, and that he is in a hostile relationship with Darbion, and that this time Sean wants to open the military way or go to Dingqiyin in Darbion, he will never be able to satisfy Sean. Requirements. What's more, the Hastings family who ruled Tin Chiin is still a member of the Nugus family, and he also chose the Nugus family after turning his back on the Boulder family. It can be said that he and the Hastings family are truly the same. camp.

  If he really opens up military access to Sean, before the Kingdom of Darbion imposes sanctions on him, the Nugus family will attack him first.

"Father……"

   "This time, we are probably in a catastrophe." Morens looked at his son and gave a wry smile, "Whether it is to open or not open military access, we must offend one party."

   "This Sean is simply deceiving!"

  Moens’ son is a young man who is about twenty-five or six years old. Although he has a certain level of martial skills, he is only at the level of the lower bronze. His main jing power is in the area of ​​territorial governance. Although the military aspect is also slightly involved, after all, he is only a human being, not a one. The name is jingling, so of course it is impossible to learn very well. But at least, because of his specificity and focus, Yedbyling is still developing very well under his plan.

  If there is no accident, in about a few years, he will officially take over the ring of his father Mornes and become the new Baron Yederby.

"You have been studying for so long, why haven't you understood this?" Moens looked at his son and sighed softly, "In this world, whoever has the most power is qualified to speak. Our family has passed it on. I have the fourth generation in my hands, but I still can’t let the family go one step further. I originally hoped it was on you, but I didn’t expect such a thing to happen. This time...our territory probably really cannot be kept. NS."

   "That's not necessarily!" After a moment of hesitation, the young man's face flashed a ruthless se, and he said in a deep voice, "I still have a way!"

  ……

   is also this night.

  Different from the already calm fate mentality of an old man who is over half a hundred years old, Domingo is almost going crazy.

  In Hastings Manor, everything in his study was smashed.

At this moment, Thain, Taylor, and the others around him did not dare to show the atmosphere. One of them had a scar on his face—that was when Domingo smashed something indiscriminately in his desperate rage. The broken vase was scratched, but just like that, he didn't dare to reach out to wipe it.

   "You go down and heal your wounds first." Although he was still angry, Domingo glanced at the subordinate whose face was scratched by vase fragments and said.

This subordinate is not known for his combat power. He doesn't even have a lower rank bronze. However, he is responsible for some financial management in Luo Mingen. Although his work ability is not as good as that of Cazi, he is also one of the best in Luo Mingen. VIP. Of course, he was able to enter this study not because of his strong working ability, but because his surname was Hastings, and he was directly from Domingo's lineage.

  Hearing Domingo’s words, the subordinate nodded immediately and stepped back.

  Expelled from Pandaren, Domingo went to Tinkiin without staying for a moment. With their strength, of course, the rest time can be compressed to the greatest extent, and they also borrowed a few war horses when they passed through Yeedby, so it only took about eight days before and after to rush back to Hastings Manor. It was nearly half faster than Soma's time. Of course, as soon as he returned to the manor, Domingo continued to send all the information to Gerson without stopping, so that Nugus knew that in more than half a month, Pandaling would tell Tingki. Lead troops.

Even if Gerson is now determined to be the next heir to the Nugus family, he cannot make an immediate decision on this issue-if his power is not completely abolished in the wild, then maybe he You can also make an idea right away.

  But at least for now, he needs to go through a family meeting.

  It's just that at this moment, the reason for Domingo's anger is not that the Nugus family hasn't responded for the time being, but the two news that just came from Yedby.

  First, it is naturally the military right-of-way notification letter sent by Sean to Yedby.

  This point has now also spread to the Nugus family, and I believe that soon the entire Darbion Southern aristocratic circle will know this immediately.

  As for the second case, Avi’s body was found.

Not only Avi, but also the corpses of the family knights of the other two lower gold powerhouses in the Hastings family, as well as Jing Rui, the direct line of the Second Cavalry Regiment he sent out, but Soma was the only one missing. The corpses of the two and Biqi.

  Undoubtedly, this team was the one that Domingo asked them to rush over because of Panda’s territorial contract documents. It's just that when he was expelled from Panda Ling, he immediately tried to contact this team to get them back to the territory, but he didn't expect that he was intercepted halfway. How can this make Domingo not angry? You know, one of the dead is his eldest son!

  Even if Avi still has a big gap with Thain in all aspects, he is also Domingo's biological son!

  This is why Domingo is really angry!

   "Did you find out who made the move?" Domingo said with red eyes and sullenly.

"According to Baron Yedby’s investigation, it can only be judged that the attack at that time should be relatively abrupt and rapid, and the number of people who launched the attack is definitely quite large, because the scene is very chaotic." It was Taylor who spoke, his voice was very steady. But Thain, who is familiar with Tyler, could hear it. This is Tyler trying to suppress his inner anger. "I suspect that it was Panda who led the lord. After all, the location where Master Avi was killed is only two. It is only three days, and in such a short period of time, there will be a surprise attack by a force. Except for the surprise attack initiated by Pandaling's mobilization of the army, no one else can do it."

"Not necessarily." Thain shook his head, "If you think about it, the sword of bravery can disperse an entire army of mercenaries into the Void City, so it is not very difficult to hide a small, sharp army around you. This proves that the opponent should have relatively strong military power but weaker in terms of high-end combat power. At least with the strength that the lord currently shows, he probably doesn’t need to send a troop to do so because of the size of the troop. If it’s too big, then it’s easy to reveal whereabouts, but if it’s small, it’s definitely not in the hands of Uncle Soma’s team.”

  Hearing what Thain said, it was true after thinking about it carefully.

"We are yin." Domingo's face showed a resentful **** se, "The other party first sent someone to intercept Avi, and then arranged the Yin Shadow Assassin to assassinate Shaun, obviously to provoke him. The fight between our two sides, even..."

  Speaking of this, Domingo's face showed a hint of horror, and Thain was only a step slower than his father, and he also immediately realized the danger.

  If those Yin Shadow Assassins were successfully assassinated, and then they deliberately left a clue to the embassy, ​​then they would definitely be killed directly in the void by the energetic Void City Guards. On the other side, because Avi, Soma, and Kazi, the real Jing Rui core high-level leaders, were also killed, so the entire Tin Qi Yin leader was completely in a situation where there was no leader.

  In this case, Tin Chi's collar is simply a piece of fat that anyone can bite into.

  Of course, if Domingo’s thoughts were to let Sean know, he would definitely sneer. Because from the very beginning, he never thought that Ting Qi would be annexed by other nobles around him. He could only say that it was a great coincidence that the Creed Assassin went to assassinate Shaun that night, and it was equivalent to giving Shaw. Well, a more reasonable excuse for declaring war, but Sean and the Creed Assassin can barely be regarded as mutually beneficial, maybe they can reduce some conflicts in the future.

"Now no matter who is the guy who is going to frame us first, we have to work together to deal with the immediate difficulties.... Immediately transfer all the soldiers under our command back and arrange them along the border, choosing as wide a plain terrain as possible. , There is more suitable for cavalry charge."

   Soon, Domingo immediately turned the pain of losing his son into motivation, and began a series of military deployment arrangements for the upcoming war.

On the other hand, Ting Qi was due to the fanfare and other propaganda tricks on this side. Pandan was not at all moving, and it seemed that he didn't care about going to war. Only the two private soldiers in Dayi were urgently transferred back, and at the same time the steel wings were transferred. It drove to the border line adjacent to Tingqiyin, and at the same time some related fortifications were adopted at the border. After all, William had already investigated very clearly. Tingqiyin's total number of private soldiers exceeded 30,000. This number It is by no means an ordinary earl can afford.

  Even Asuna, it was a little difficult to raise; and Sean, if it weren't because of the war and the continuous supply of logistics, Sean could only embark on the helpless move of disarmament.

  Fortunately, it is no longer needed.

  As long as he wins the Ting Qi, Sean will no longer make ends meet.

  Almost at this moment, a simple carriage drove into the Void City under the **** of seven guards, and then stopped at the gate of the Lord’s Mansion under the guidance of William himself. (To be continued.)
