Realm of Power

"Sir, the assassin has already confessed. Unexpectedly, it was Lord Dusask, the bastard from the north of the family, who sent him to cause trouble. Dusask ordered him to enter the castle among the pilgrims and take the opportunity to destroy the artifact gifted to the family by God. In order to spread rumors and slander you, you will be cast aside by the gods!”

Not long after Du Yu returned to his bedroom, adjutant Statunko excitedly knocked on the bedroom door with the interrogation record written in thick mugwort juice. It seemed that the interrogation process went smoothly.

Du Yu took the record from Statunko, flipped through it casually, and placed the report on the low table beside the bed in the bedroom, which surprised Statunko who was extremely excited.

"This is not surprising. The northern Dusask family and the Dusmore family, which have split off from the family, have been seeking opportunities to invade our territory. The hunter leader Crolisat who just returned from the team told me the other day that these two restless families The family has been recruiting a large number of soldiers in its territory in the past few months. It is said that it has assembled 400 soldiers and a squadron of knights, preparing to seize the territory from us when the family army goes to the north to serve in the army for His Majesty the King. The most fertile area of ​​Jossac Township.

"It turns out that your Excellency has already known the origin of the assassin. What should we do now? The deadline stipulated in His Majesty the King's recruitment order is not long away. Even if we send troops to attack Kun Castle in Dusask now, I am afraid that the time limit will not be enough. "

Statunko looked at his master worriedly. Statunko, who had always devoted himself to training soldiers outside the castle, did not expect that the family had fallen into such a dangerous situation.

This time, the king's recruitment order was only issued to the patriarchs of each family. For the already declining Falcon family, their master had already lost the power to order other branches. The main force of the family's army going north was equivalent to giving other members of the family A rare opportunity for the branches to compete for the family patriarch.

"So, we have to kill the chickens to scare the monkeys! You immediately mobilize all the troops gathered outside the castle. I will take back the Dusmore family's Shaka City. I will let these ignorant family branches know that before His Majesty the King agrees to their Before the nobles apply for independence, I am still the clan leader! If you want to be a stable lord, please be honest with me!"

Du Yu raised his head with a cold face. The stars were shining under the black sky outside the castle. The mountains in the distance were like dark giant beasts lurking in the darkness under the night.

This assassination incident made Du Yu very angry. Du Yu had always disapproved of the spies on him by the branches of the family, but this time the branches of the two families blatantly mobilized troops on a large scale to target him.

If I remain indifferent, by the time I come back from the northern front, the family patriarch may have already been replaced. It seems that for such a blatant recruitment of troops, I really think of myself as a "fool"!

"But sir, if we openly attack the territory of a branch of the family, we are afraid that we will be held morally responsible by other forces!" Statunko reminded his master with worry.

According to the laws of the Kingdom, as long as a branch of a family owns its own territory, it is also within the scope of the nobility. It is also illegal for the main family to attack its own branch without authorization. Even if it occupies the territory of a branch family, it will not be officially recognized by the kingdom. Therefore, Many main families adopt the method of supporting puppets to control the side families.

"This confession is the reason for us to send troops! Attacking the side branch of the master's family will be punished by the master's family no matter what the law is!" Seeing his master unfolding the interrogation record on the bedside, Statun Only then did Ke suddenly realize that his master had been planning it for a long time!

"Yes, sir, I believe that the family army will defeat all enemies under your leadership! Let the falcon flag fly proudly again among the first-class families in the kingdom."

With an excited expression on his face, Statunko bowed respectfully to his master and performed a knightly salute. His shining eyes were burning with the desire for battle, and he turned around and disappeared into the night in the castle corridor.

The long queue of winding torches was like a giant dragon marching on the winding mountain path. The light leather armor worn by the soldiers scratched through the gaps in the leaves of the mountain, making a rustling sound.

"Sir, good news. The hunter team in front reported that there are only 150 soldiers and 20 knights of the Dusmore family stationed in Kasha City. The patriarch of the Dusmore family, Dusmore Kate, led 20 of the family two days ago. The guards went to Kun Castle of the Dusask family. This is really good luck brought to us by the gods."

Statunko rode back from the front of the team with a joyful expression. This time, together with the family's own guards, Du Yu led a total of 1,400 troops, who assembled overnight and set off to attack the Dusmore family's card. Shacheng, such a huge queue makes Statunko very excited.

Most of the hunters in charge of the vanguard were hunters who made a living in nearby mountainous areas and were very familiar with the complex environment of the mountainous areas. Therefore, under the cover of darkness, 1,400 people used a hidden mountain road to bypass the place where the Dusmore family had set up. At the checkpoint on the border, people unknowingly entered the hinterland of the Dusmore family's territory, and after a night of running, they had already reached the outskirts of Kasha City.

In the black night, the lights of the beautiful Kasha City twinkled like stars. Kasha City, where the Dusmore family is located, is the closest city to the Falcon family castle. It was the three most prosperous commercial towns before the Falcon family split. one,

Kasha City was originally named Kasha Town, and together with Aikari Town and Yosak Town directly under Du Yu, they were called the three pearls in the mouth of the falcon. They had always been under the direct jurisdiction of the patriarch.

The year before, the Dusmore family near Kasha City took advantage of the fact that the new patriarch was an idiot and his army was in disarray, and forcibly sent knights to Kasha Town to announce the management of Kasha Town, and renamed Kasha Town as Kasha City as the new residence of the family.

"Boom!" A huge ball of fire shot from the black darkness in the distance towards the closed wooden gate of Kasha City with iron sheets.
