In the next few days, Tianyang made many moves, and then in mid-May, he issued several announcements in succession through the War God Castle.
The first announcement listed the irrefutable evidence that Tiesen Fort and Huolong Fort had been secretly collecting military information from Lieyang Fort, announcing that this had infringed upon the interests of Lieyang Fort. It also stated that there was reason to believe that the two fortresses were going to wage war against Lieyang Fort, and that collecting military information was paving the way for launching a war. Therefore, Lieyang Fort would defend its rights and interests to the death, and would list the two fortresses as targets for attack.
The second notice required the two fortresses, Tiesenbao and Huolongbao, to surrender unconditionally and become vassals of Lieyangbao. Lieyangbao would forgive the two fortresses for their actions, otherwise they would turn their swords against each other and all the consequences would be borne by Tiesenbao and Huolongbao. Lieyangbao emphasized that this was a just war, a battle to defend the interests of the fortress itself, and any fortress that dared to interfere in the war would be regarded as declaring war on Lieyangbao.
When these two announcements were released and spread to most of the fortresses in the Western Continent, several large and small fortresses such as Silver Dragon Fort, God of War Fort, Iron Blood Fort, and Redwood Fort also issued statements, unequivocally supporting the actions of Lieyang Fort and promising that they would unconditionally protect Lieyang Fort and even the surrounding areas during Lieyang Fort's expedition.
Among them, Silver Dragon Castle and Iron Blood Castle even added a statement that if anyone interfered in the war between Fiery Sun Castle and Iron Sen Castle and Fire Dragon Castle, then these two castles would send troops to support their allies.
In one morning, most of the Western Continent was in an uproar over the series of announcements and statements. If there were people who didn't know about Fiery Sun Fort before, then on this day in mid-May, no one would be unaware of the existence of this fortress.
The fact that the announcement was issued through the Fortress of the God of War explains a lot, and it also has the support of several fortresses including the Fortress of the God of War, which adds a bit of deeper meaning.
Among them, there are people who have derived more meanings from these two announcements.
As we all know, Ironfort and Firedrake Fort are vassals of Darkmoon Fort. Without the instruction of Darkmoon Fort, how could these two fortresses go to inquire about the military information of Fiery Sun Fort
However, there was no mention of Darkmoon Castle in these two announcements, as if the lord of Fiery Sun Castle was completely unaware of the existence of Darkmoon Castle.
In addition, the other party has a lot of evidence including videos, recordings, and photos, which can be said to be irrefutable. It is reasonable to attack the two fortresses. If Darkmoon Castle does not want to be involved in the scandal, it can only shut up.
And this is indeed the case. Until this afternoon, Darkmoon Castle had not issued any statement or announcement. As for the two fortresses of Tiesen Castle, due to limited channels, even if they wanted to issue an announcement, it would be difficult to achieve the effect of Lieyang Castle. They could not spread their voices throughout the Western Continent and could only be dumb.
Black Highlands, Darkmoon Castle.
In a building that seemed to be made of black crystal, someone said with a wry smile, "We underestimated the Fiery Sun Castle. We didn't expect them to have collected so much evidence and issued a notice through the War God Castle. It's wrong for us to intervene, and it's even more wrong not to intervene."
Sitting on a high-backed chair made of crystal, a figure roared, "They don't take our Dark Moon Castle seriously. Don't they know that Ironfort and Firedrake Castle are our vassals? They sent troops to attack without even discussing it with us. They have to look at the owner before beating the dog. Don't they understand such a simple truth as this?"
The person who was furious at the moment was Will Afsis, the Lord of Darkmoon Castle. This Lord looked like a middle-aged man in his forties, but in fact
It had been many years since he was over forty years old, but after being promoted to the Heavenly Rank, he had always maintained his prime years without any signs of aging, as if he had been forgotten by time.
The man who had just smiled bitterly said, "I think the city lord is not unaware, but is doing it on purpose. He wants to shut us up and prevent us from interfering with his crusade."
"The evidence is irrefutable. If we intervene, it would be tantamount to admitting that Dark Moon Castle has plans to attack them. If it is confirmed, and we send troops, Silver Dragon Castle and Iron Blood Castle will be able to send troops as they declared. At that time, the situation will be very unfavorable to us."
“Don’t forget, Ares Castle has also announced that it is an ally of Lieyang Castle. Huo Hanshan could be killed at any time.”
This is the Darkmoon Castle Lord’s strategist and general, An Lan, a man from Central China.
After the city lord Will calmed down, he said, "You are right. We cannot intervene openly in this situation. So, we can secretly transfer Paul and Adrian to Ironfort and Firedragon Fort and have them wear masks. As long as they don't show their true faces, even if someone guesses their identities later, we can shirk responsibility."
"Also, send another 2,000 Knights of the Night to provide support. Lieyang Fort is just a small fortress, and there were only 1,500 soldiers who went to attack Hell Fort."
"Two thousand night riders plus the army of Tiesen Second Fort, and Paul and two Heavenly Ranks, are more than enough to destroy Lieyang Fort!"
An Lan nodded: "The city lord is right, but I would like to add one more thing. Whether it is the two generals or the two thousand night riders, it is best not to carry our city's equipment, otherwise it will reveal a flaw."
Will weighed it over and said, "If they don't carry their original equipment, their combat effectiveness will be reduced, but this is the only way. Anlan, you will arrange this matter, and there must be no mistakes."
"Yes, sir."
The day after the announcement was made, most of Xilu's attention was focused on the small Lieyang Fort. At nine o'clock in the morning, the gates of Lieyang Fort were opened, and chariots slowly drove out of the fortress, forming a long black dragon, and drove majestically in the direction of Tiesen Fort and Huolong Fort.
According to the data released by Lieyang Fort, a total of two thousand soldiers were dispatched for this expedition, including a number of middle and low-level officers, and the only heavenly rank was the city lord of Lieyang Fort.
A Heavenly Rank, several officers of middle and lower ranks, and two thousand soldiers. This lineup was enough to conquer two small fortresses, but it was a bit conventional and lacked some surprises.
Of course, some people speculated that the number announced by Lieyang Castle was probably just a cover-up. After all, when they went to the Hell Castle, there were already two Heavenly Ranks participating, so it was very likely that the young city lord had hidden a part of his strength, and a large part.
This was indeed the case, but not too much was hidden. Tianyang only hid the information that Qianhong, who was accompanying him, was already a heavenly rank.
He does have a few Heavenly Ranks under his command, but Chiying is now in Yarati, and Wang Lingjun has transferred him to protect Xitong. Strictly speaking, the desert warrior Kasa is not Tianyang's subordinate, so Tianyang has no right to transfer him.
Therefore, there were only him and Qianhong at the Heavenly Rank level in this expedition.
"Lord Tianyang, do you think Darkmoon Castle will interfere?"
In the magnetic energy car, Qiu Mo asked casually.
Redding on the side said carelessly: "I will definitely interfere. Think about it, what about Tiesenburg and
Fire Dragon Castle is their vassal. If we take it down, how will Dark Moon Castle put its face to rest? "
"Besides, if we take them down, we will be like a nail driven into the territory of Darkmoon Castle, and no one will be happy about that. So I bet that Darkmoon Castle will definitely interfere!"
These two people are now at level 5. They have followed Tianyang for more than a year. Tianyang has prepared sublimation media for them to enhance their strength.
Qiu Mo glared at Redding and said, "Then tell me, how will they interfere?"
Redding curled his lips and said, "I'm not the lord of Darkmoon Castle, how would I know?"
At this time, Tian Yang smiled and said, "Just like Redding said, Dark Moon Castle will definitely not sit there and watch these two castles being taken down by us, so they will intervene. But they dare not come openly, so I guess they will secretly dispatch strong men, most likely two or three Heavenly Ranks for support."
"In addition, they should also secretly dispatch the Night Knights for support. However, both the Heavenly Rank and the Night Knights will probably travel lightly and will not carry equipment and weapons that can be associated with their original identities."
"The Heavenly Order should wear masks and not show their true faces. This way, even if people associate it with Darkmoon Castle in the future, they can deny it completely."
"In short, with the additional statements from Silver Dragon Castle and Iron Blood Castle, and the announcement from God of War Castle on our behalf, Dark Moon Castle will not dare to openly start a war and will only make small moves."
Lei Ding gritted his teeth and said, "Even if that's the case, we're at a huge disadvantage. Lord Tianyang, how about we ask Silver Dragon Fort to secretly send strong men to support us?"
"No need, this is exactly the effect I want."
Tian Yang said calmly: "Even if Dark Moon Castle secretly sends out Heavenly Ranks, these Heavenly Ranks cannot bring equipment, and they dare not even show their personal signs, so their strength will be greatly reduced."
"We don't have to worry about that, so this is a good opportunity to harvest the Darkmoon Castle's Heaven Rank. I want them to swallow this loss with broken teeth, and I want the Darkmoon Castle to bleed."
"As long as we kill the Tianjie, the threat from the Night Knights will become limited. Moreover, the death of the Tianjie will be a fatal blow to their morale. By then, even if we have fewer people, it will not be a problem to conquer two small fortresses."
Tian Yang paused, then laughed and said, "The attack on Tiesen Castle is just an excuse. My real goal is to hurt Dark Moon Castle and make them furious. People will make mistakes when they get angry or anxious."
"Maybe it won't be long before we can sit in the Lord's Building of Darkmoon Castle and drink."
Over the past year, Redding and Qiu Mo have witnessed with their own eyes how many miracles Tianyang has created, so this time, even though it sounds impossible, they are full of confidence.
A few days later, the army of Fiery Sun Castle entered the territory of Dark Moon Castle, and soon the scouts in the team discovered a newly built camp ahead. Judging from the size of the camp and the number of chariots, there were at least four thousand soldiers in the camp, or even more.
Upon hearing the news, Tian Yang laughed, because the scale of this camp had exceeded the strength of two small fortresses. It was obvious that Dark Moon Castle had secretly deployed troops.
Now he was looking forward to seeing how many Heavenly Ranks Darkmoon Castle would send over.
