The highland is located to the west of the Fengying Plain, with an extremely large area, and many nobles, large and small, are scattered on it.
Unlike Feng Ying, who was ruled by blue blood, in the highlands, the Wellington family had an extremely superior strength. The red lion flag covered most of the area, making other nobles trembling and submitting in the shadows.
And just a few years ago, under the impetus of the new heir, the Wellington family started the battle to truly unify the highlands, and even secretly prepared for the establishment of the principality.
lion heart city.
The city established by the Lionheart King, one of the five ancient kings, has now become the ruling core of the Wellington family.
And now, a grand banquet is being held.
Just two days ago, that outstanding heir—"The Young Lion" Arthur Wellington led the army, and destroyed the only Cachedon family still resisting on the west side of the highland.
So far, the entire highland has completely surrendered to the authority of the Wellington family.
This is not the previous system of enfeoffment of nobles, but a complete conquest!
All members of the Wellington family cheered for this, and even officially put the establishment of the principality on the agenda.
They believe that after the order is unified, the power of the entire highland will be effectively integrated, and the feat of the Lionheart King dominating the mainland will be reproduced!
Among the grand banquets, Arthur Wellington is obviously the most eye-catching protagonist.
He looked only sixteen or seventeen years old, with blond curly hair and a soft smile on his face all the time, like a shy big boy next door.
"Our family has won great victories one after another. At this time, no one dares to contend with us on the highlands... And in the east, our family knights also captured the Death Canyon and obtained the passage to the Fengying Plain... I believe that in the future, a great kingdom across the continent of Sear will be born in the hands of our generation!"
Just as Arthur was giving a speech impassionedly, holding a glass full of red wine in one hand, an attendant hurried over and whispered something beside him.
"Sorry... everyone!"
His complexion changed, and he immediately apologized politely: "There is a little trouble at our racecourse, so I will leave first!"
Under the leadership of the servant, Arthur quickly left the hall and came to a study at the back.
boom!
The door was closed, and the study room full of bookshelves and ancient volumes looked quite narrow. Dozens of candles were burning brightly, and drops of wax oil dripped down, turning into stalactite-like shapes.
"My lord father! I heard news from the carrier pigeon!"
Arthur saluted behind the desk, a middle-aged nobleman wearing a tuxedo, a golden wig, and a face somewhat similar to his: "Did something happen to Fengying Plain?"
"It's Garcia and Gale!"
The middle-aged nobleman sighed: "These two trashes have messed up everything! Now almost half of the 4,000 people we sent to the east have been lost, and Gail is even more dead..."
"Oh? Has the double-headed eagle strategy failed?"
Arthur took the letter with a mocking smile on his face: "Early at the family meeting, I said that the five fingers can only be clenched into fists and used in one place to get the greatest effect! If you worry too much, you will end up with nothing!"
The middle-aged noble could not help but remain silent.
In fact, the whole plan cannot be said to be wrong by sending Garcia first to spy on the reality of the blue bloods, and then find the right time to obtain the bridgehead to enter the Fengying Plain.
At least, at the beginning of the execution stage, everything went quite smoothly, and even occupied Wind Howling Castle for a time, which is almost a success.
Unfortunately, the development of things later exceeded his expectations.
"The great alliance of the blue-blood nobles? William Wallace the Conqueror? And the certificate of kingship?"
Arthur read the letter, his pupils shrank slightly, and soon his face was filled with uncontrollable excitement: "Has the blue diamond crown appeared?"
"I'll go!"
He looked at his father, the contemporary Grand Duke of Wellington, with a firm expression on his face: "Let me bring people to support Garcia! I am very interested in that William!"
"I can give you 20,000 soldiers here!"
The Duke of Wellington pondered for a while, and immediately made a decision: "The army of the blue bloods only has 10,000 people, you rush there immediately and join Garcia!"
In his opinion, with the advantage of the location and Garcia's original power, the Death Canyon is impenetrable, and there is absolutely no possibility of losing it!
"I see!"
Arthur touched the hilt of the sword, a strange color flashed in his eyes...
…
Death Canyon, Eagle Fort.
After eating a veal steak and vegetable soup for dinner, Garcia toured around the castle again, and discussed several weak spots with the guarding knights before returning to his bedroom.
"The family should have also received a request for help, and they are about to send troops to come, right? Without the restraint of other families, if they can use all their strength this time, they will definitely be able to match William's army..."
Garcia was half lying on the bed, a little dazed: "It's just that, in the future, my rights and interests in Fengying Plain will not be guaranteed at all. I am extremely lucky to be able to obtain the fiefdom of the Viscount as before..."
He sighed softly and was about to blow out the candle when there was a loud bang.
"Kill!"
"There are enemies!"
"Bang bang!"
The faint cry of killing emerged and became louder and louder.
"Enemy attack?"
As soon as Garcia turned over and stood up, he grabbed the handle of the cross sword in his hand.
"My master!"
The door was pushed open violently, and Merlin ran in, his gray robe was scorched black, and he looked a bit embarrassed: "Let's go!"
"What happened outside?"
Garcia looked solemn.
"It's blue blood!"
Merlin took a deep breath: "The conqueror sent spies into the castle, those blue-blooded nobles and knights were persuaded to rebel, secretly lowered the drawbridge, and opened the gate of the castle!"
"Damn! You didn't see this coming!"
Garcia's face sank like water, staring at the mage in front of him.
"Sorry... The enemy is also protected by the power of magic. They also sent an elite team composed of knights to infiltrate the castle. I have fought against them, and there are at least two witches inside!"
Merlin was still a little scared, if he hadn't seen the opportunity quickly, he might not be able to escape.
Garcia was completely speechless, hurriedly put on his robe and came to the balcony.
Boom!
The ground shook slightly, as if the gods were roaring.
In the light of a few flames, he saw a large number of armored soldiers pouring in from the city gate and rushing towards the barracks.
"kill!"
A group of soldiers bravely rushed out to stop them, but unfortunately, under the betrayal of their colleagues and the sudden attack, all resistance was futile, and the leading knight was chopped into more than ten pieces.
"That's Sir Smith!"
Garcia was a little silent.
Although this knight was often against himself, and he still had flaws of one kind or another, he still proved his loyalty with actions in this dangerous time.
It's a pity that although he was also a knight, he was outnumbered. He was dismembered by several knights and died a horrible death.
In the darkness, many vague figures jumped vigorously, and the spears and epees weighing tens of kilograms seemed to be nothing in their hands.
"A commando composed entirely of knights?"
Viscount Garcia was completely shocked: "It's not enough to add the Honor Knight... Also, where did William get so much holy oil?!"
To train a true knight, the cost is as high as a mountain.
Not to mention, even if there is enough holy oil, it is not something that everyone can do to reach the limit of the human body and meet the requirements of baptism.
Wu Ming cultivated the children in the territory, let them exercise early, and taught them the method, in order to lay the foundation.
He was prepared in the beginning of the exercises and the holy oil. Once he or someone under him activated the extraordinary law system, he could use the power of the magic technique to forcibly catalyze a group of 'half knights'.
Although not as brave and invincible as a real knight, the requirements have been reduced a lot, and the cost is not the same.
Just like just now, when several knights joined forces to attack, even though Sir Smith's strength was amazing, he still wanted to be on the spot.
"let's go!"
Seeing that the general situation is gone, Garcia can't tell what kind of feeling he feels in his heart.
All he can do now is to leave as quickly as possible under the protection of several cronies and Mage Merlin, before the enemy catches up.
The flames and shouts of killing continued all night.
When Wu Ming entered Eagle Fort the next day, the smell of blood hadn't dissipated.
"My king, you are the incarnation of the sun and moon in the sky, the master of Fengying Plain, and the king of our blue blood!"
In front of the castle, several nobles and knights were waiting there anxiously. When they saw Wu Ming, they immediately knelt down and performed a very grand ceremony.
"Sir Soros, Sir Bailin... You have made the right choice!"
At the critical moment, these blue-bloods are willing to make things right, which is naturally excellent news for Wu Ming.
At least, before the arrival of the second batch of highland troops, he firmly blocked the red lions from the death canyon, which can be regarded as an upper hand.
"You will be rewarded!"
After thinking for a while, Wu Ming said in a serious tone: "Soros Markle, I canonize you as Baron of Eagle Castle, and the fiefdom is Death Canyon!"
"And Sir Bailin, you will get the two nearby knights as fiefs!"
"Thank you! Kind and generous king, we will give you our loyalty and everything!"
Granting a fief is naturally the heaviest reward. The two nobles looked excited and saluted again.
Wu Ming waved his hand and climbed to the highest point of the castle. The mountain wind was bitter. He looked into the distance, as if he could already see the army of highland knights rushing non-stop.
"The next thing is the big battle!"
