A few days later, the three Bernal brothers and sisters returned to Sidney Territory, and finally arrived at Fergus Castle.
They brought the royal order, and as expected, the Sidney family was also recruited and asked to assemble a team to support them.
Soon, the heads of the noble families in Sidney were summoned to attend the meeting. Gray was the only one of the younger generation who attended the meeting even though he was not the head of a noble family.
No family had any objections to Gray's participation in this meeting. It would be better to say that they were all extremely supportive.
Although Gray is not the head of the Fergus family yet, he is the source of the strength of the entire Fergus family. He holds the strongest combat power of the entire Fergus family. They are eager to have a good relationship with Gray in order to gain benefits on the battlefield. Gray's care.
"Earl Fergus, Gray, this time we have to rely on your Fergus family!"
Saroyan looked at Earl Fergus and Gray. In this war, the main force in the Sidney Territory must be the Fergus family.
The strongest of the other families, even his own, are only mad blood warriors and cannot become the main force on the battlefield. How many people in the Sidney Territory will be able to come back alive this time all depends on the strength of the Fergus family.
"Don't worry, Marquis, the Fergus family will do their best."
Earl Fergus and Gray said seriously.
It can only be said that we are trying our best, but cannot give any guarantee. On the battlefield, even the wild blood warriors may fall. With the current strength of the Fergus family, there is no guarantee at all.
Three days later, Sidney led various noble families to assemble a team of 30,000 people and set off.
However, the team's momentum is extremely low. Even ordinary soldiers have more or less understanding of what is going on in Sidney today. Under such circumstances, it is naturally impossible for morale to be high.
In order to increase the morale of the team, Gray and Earl Fergus both rode barbarian blood beasts. Some other families with blood beasts also showed up and rode blood beasts.
Sure enough, seeing the seven-meter-large size of the two barbarian-level blood beasts and the powerful auras of the blood beasts, the morale of the team gradually increased.
The huge size of the blood beast gave them not fear at this time, but confidence.
After all, these blood beasts belong to their side and will become their "comrades" fighting side by side on the battlefield. With such powerful "comrades", their morale will naturally be high.
Boom, boom, boom!
The huge tusked pig, covered with black hair, was as huge as a low mountain. The ground would sink with every step it took, attracting awe from the people around it.
"You shouldn't have come back!"
Sitting on the tusk pig, Gray frowned and said.
Next to him, a beautiful blond woman wearing a purple battle uniform, also sitting on the fanged pig, said firmly after hearing Gray's words.
"I am Pearly Sidney, and I am a member of the Sidney family. Naturally, I have the obligation to fight for the Sidney family."
"You should understand the danger of this battle!"
Gray looked at her and said seriously.
"I know."
Pearly nodded and then shook her head.
"Because of this, I want to participate even more. Members of the Sidney family can be killed, but they cannot be timid!"
Her long golden hair was neatly pulled into a ponytail, revealing a beautiful but resolute face.
The great changes in the family caused her to grow rapidly from the carefree noble girl she was before. This kind of growth makes people feel heartbroken and sympathetic.
Gray sighed in his heart and could only think of taking care of the opponent as much as possible after going to the battlefield.
On the battlefield, even Gray himself could not guarantee that he would be able to survive 100%. He could only do this.
"Two wild-blood warriors from the Nahum family, and one wild-blood warrior is seriously injured!"
"Within Nahum's territory, Leifor City, which ranked among the top three in terms of population, was destroyed, and the entire city was plundered by the Kingdom of Flame."
"One-half of the territory of Nahum Dukedom has been occupied, and the Kingdom of Flame has divided its troops to attack other noble territories!"
…
On the way to support, news from the front line kept coming.
Facing the powerful Kingdom of Flame, the Nahum family, which bore the brunt, suffered heavy losses and was retreating steadily. Moreover, the coalition forces of the Kingdom of Flame had even spread to the territories outside the Dukedom of Nahum.
“I don’t know whether to call it good news or bad news!”
Gray is naturally happy to see the power of the Nahum family be damaged. After all, with his relationship with the Nahum family, there will definitely be a battle in the future. If the strength of the Nahum family is greatly damaged, the threat to him will naturally become smaller.
But the fierce momentum of the Flame Kingdom also gave him a great sense of crisis. The strength of the Nahum family is definitely not weak, and it can make the Nahum family retreat with almost no resistance. It is conceivable that the Kingdom of Flame will be defeated this time. The strength of the coalition.
"So many refugees!"
After several days of traveling, when they were about to enter the Dukedom of Nahum, everyone in Gray was shocked by what they saw.
In front of them, a long line of refugees appeared, stretching as far as the eye could see.
among the refugee ranks.
There are mothers with wailing babies on their backs.
A father with a cart pulling his young children.
There is an old man with gray hair and a cane in his hand walking slowly.
There was a brother and sister who seemed to have lost their family members, and their faces were full of sadness. The teenage brother was holding the hand of his younger sister, and they depended on each other for life.
…
Each of the refugees looked frightened and their eyes were blank. They were afraid of the unknown and confused about their future.
Occasionally, someone would suddenly fall down while walking and never get up again, causing a burst of wailing.
Who suffers the most in war
Not nobles, but commoners.
They lost their homes, were slaughtered, bullied, and starved to death due to lack of food...
Although nobles would also die on the battlefield, they seemed so insignificant compared with the tragic experiences of thousands of civilians.
After passing by such a group of refugees, Gray and others felt heavy-hearted and could do nothing but distribute some food to these refugees.
They are heading to the battlefield now. It is impossible to bring such a group of civilians with them, and they cannot give these people any comfort or guarantee, because they do not know what the outcome of this battle with the Kingdom of Flame will be.
After entering the Dukedom of Nahum and marching for a day, Gray and his team of 30,000 people finally arrived at a huge city with a population of several million.
Nahum City is one of the three major cities in the Nahum Territory. It is also the only city among the three giant cities in the Nahum Dukedom that has not been lost.
Here, the Duke Nahum family, which has been rooted in Nahum territory for hundreds of years, is the headquarters of the Duke Nahum family. It is a place that Gray is absolutely unwilling to enter.
However, this time he had to come, because according to the order of the royal family of the Ziyue Kingdom, all the nobles who came to support needed to gather in this city.
Within the city, a residential area had been cleared for the noble teams who came to support them. Gray and the others chose an area and sat in it.
In this area, Gray and the others met people from various families.
Basically, all the big and small families in the kingdom have arrived, and Gray and the others are the latest group. After all, the three of Saroyan rushed back to the territory from the royal capital, and a lot of time was wasted in the process.
"It's the Smalley family!"
"traitor!"
"It's that traitorous family!"
…
They also saw the Smalley family who had left the Sidney Territory and joined the Oka family.
"Duke Smalley, you traitor!"
Looking at the former "Earl Smalley", Earl Ford yelled angrily.
"Earl Ford, it's been a long time no see."
Duke Smalley is a man with long brown hair. Although he is over fifty, he can vaguely see how handsome he was when he was young.
Facing Count Ford's scolding, he smiled slightly and greeted him warmly like a close friend he hadn't seen for many years.
"Hmph, the Sidney family is not kind to you. Has your conscience been eaten by dogs? You actually left the Sidney family immediately after the Sidney family was killed and joined the Oka family."
Earl Ford snorted coldly and looked at the other party coldly.
"I had no choice but to make that decision at that time."
Duke Smalley shrugged with an "innocent" look on his face.
"If I were the only one, I would naturally be willing to advance and retreat with the Sidney family. Unfortunately, I am not alone. There is a family that relies on me behind me. I need to consider my family."
"What a last resort."
Next to him, Saroyan walked out and sneered.
"Master Saroyan, I know you are angry, but I also struggled a lot when I made that decision."
Duke Smalley said with a "sincere" look.
"That's really hard for you!"
Saroyan snorted.
"You can understand, and I feel relieved."
Duke Smalley still maintains "sincerity" on his face, but this sincerity is too false no matter how you look at it, making people want to punch him.
boom!
Someone really did this, and with one punch, Duke Smalley's face suddenly bloomed and his nosebleeds flowed backwards.
It was Gray who took action. He had seen shameless people, but he had never seen such shameless people. He twisted his rebellion into a last resort and looked calm.
"Gray Fergus, how dare you attack me!"
He reached out to touch his face and found blood on his hand. Duke Smalley glared at Gray angrily.
"Why don't you dare?"
Gray sneered and walked towards Duke Smalley.
"The Oka family will not let you go!"
Knowing some rumors about Gray and knowing that he was no match for Gray, Duke Smalley retreated continuously and distanced himself from Gray.
"Who dares to take action against members of my Oka family!"
At this moment, a scolding sound sounded, and a group of people came over. The leader was a man with a fat face and a beard, the Marquis of Oka.
Seeing Duke Smalley's face covered in blood, he immediately became furious and glared at Gray angrily.
"You are so brave. You dare to attack members of my Oka family. Do you not take my Oka family seriously?"
