Dylan National 728, October 2.
As time went on, the situation in the south became more and more serious.
The first is the Duke of Manvila. With the backing of the Orc Empire, he has become more reckless, constantly invading the territories of other nobles.
According to the intelligence from the front scouts, the opponent's sphere of influence has come to the vicinity of Kane's Ridgete Territory.
This can be regarded as imminent. Kane must contact the rest of his allies as soon as possible to defend Earl Manvila. Perhaps the first collision between the two sides is about to begin.
At the same time, Kane finally received their responses to the letters sent to the nobles in the south.
For the weak nobles, Kane's alliance proposal seemed like rain from heaven.
If they were to face the menacing Duke Manvila alone, they might not be able to cause any splashes.
There are only two choices before these nobles, either surrender to Manvila's subordinates, or risk the lives of everyone in the family and resist to the death. The outcome can be imagined.
But now, with the alliance of many nobles as support, there may be a slight chance of winning in the face of Duke Manvila's army.
Therefore, they all replied excitedly in the letter that they are very willing to join the alliance.
As the founders of the Lake Eyre Alliance, Earl Sardis and Viscount Muchat naturally readily agreed to the joining of several nobles.
With their joining, the strength and strength of the alliance will be improved to a certain extent, and the winning rate in the future against the Duke of Manvila will increase by one point.
Moreover, with the addition of these nobles, the transportation team that originally only belonged to the three of them has also been expanded.
First of all, the scope of transportation has expanded from the original hundreds of kilometers to thousands of kilometers, or even tens of thousands of kilometers.
Secondly, in terms of numbers, the nobles of all parties provided some people in the team, and the earl with the most powerful troops sent two first-order extraordinary to guard and protect the entire team.
With enough manpower, the convoy is also divided into two, using two routes for transportation.
Among them, the materials for transporting food have also become rich and varied, and are no longer limited to the three people's wheat, lettuce, and Erin pork.
If it were not for the oppression of the mountain Duke of Manvila, perhaps within a few years, the southern region would be able to restore some of the appearance of the empire period, and maybe even the currency could be used again.
It's a pity that there was an unexpected situation, just when Kane was lamenting that under the influence of the alliance, everything in the Southern Territory was developing towards prosperity.
A special team came towards the direction of Riggit collar.
A flag was held high above the team, with several brightly colored roses depicted on it.
If Kane was here, he would be able to recognize that it was the Duke of Manville, the symbol of his family.
The number of this team is very small, only about ten people.
Although everyone rides a horse, they don't wear armor or hold a sharp sword, but wear gorgeous costumes and various precious ornaments.
The leader still held a letter in his hand. Speaking of their first impression, most of them would think that this group of people was more like a noble team that came to deliver news than a cavalry squad.
As for daring to break into Rijit's territory with a team of a dozen or so people, they naturally have their own backup.
On the plain a few kilometers away from here, the army of the Duke of Manvila has already set up camp here. As long as there is any accident in the messenger delivering the news, this army will be dispatched immediately to wipe out the entire territory.
Therefore, this messenger team is not worried about being killed by the other party. They have performed this mission many times and they understand that the remaining lords in the south are simply unable to resist the offensive of the Duke of Manvila's army.
In the end, most people would only kneel down on one knee and beg themselves and others to let him join Duke Manvila's forces in order to survive.
In this way, with an arrogant look, he despised the villagers of Maike Village on the way.
The group of messengers finally reached the gate of Kane's Eagle Fort.
The leader was actually Kane's old acquaintance, Riom.
He shouted proudly to the two guards at the door: "Would you like to bow down when you see me?"
"Hmph! Forget it. Since you are only the first offender, I won't worry too much about it. There won't be a next time."
The two soldiers looked at each other innocently. They didn't understand what the figure in front of them, who looked like a nobleman, meant.
Suddenly, Ryom yelled loudly: "Idiots, what are you doing in a daze? Go and call your baron to us. The mission has an important announcement to him."
Until now, the soldiers also noticed that the other party was not friendly, so they hurried to inform Kane.
But in fact, as early as before, Kane saw the team from the window of the study.
It has not been long since the last letter from the scouts, stating that Duke Manvila's power is coming.
He didn't expect the other party to act so quickly that they would send out a messenger to give Kane an ultimatum at this moment.
You know, the urgent letter sent by Kane has just left for a day, and it must not have been delivered to Earl Sardis and Viscount Muchat.
Then waiting for the reinforcements of the two, or even other nobles, is probably unlikely.
I must face this powerful army in person.
Kane came downstairs and met a soldier running in a panic. He smiled and patted his shoulder as a sign of comfort.
With the soldier, he walked to the city gate with a smile on his face.
Riom, who had been waiting for a long time, did not get off his horse, but rode on top of the steed, looking down at Kane with a sneering expression.
"It's been a long time, Baron Ridgett."
Kane smiled and said, "That's true. I don't know why Mr. Riom came here this time?"
Riom said disdainfully: "Baron, what's the matter with me? I think you and I know it well, right?"
When Kane heard this, he also took back his smiling face and put on a serious expression.
Ryom continued: Lord Duke is merciful, giving you lords a second chance to be reborn. "
"Even if you have hatred with the duke, my lord has forgiven you magnanimously. After all, it was not easy for you to guard that ruined city last time, wasn't it?"
Kane narrowed his glasses slightly, stared at the other party and asked, "What do you mean?"
Riom laughed out loud when he heard that.
"Hahahaha, don't you understand? My Baron Rigit, let me tell you the truth. Earlier, the Duke ordered you to defend the Hill Fort, but he didn't hope that you could actually defend it."
"We're just looking for an unlucky guy. After all, the orcs need us to provide a breakthrough position. Do you think this mountain fortress is very suitable?"
"Aren't you wondering? Why did the orcs focus on attacking the hill fort you guarded? Why did the orcs know that your defense here is the weakest? It was our informant, and by the way, they could kill you Hoss Get rid of the special knights."
"Being rewarded by the orc empire and getting rid of a grudge enemy, this is a decision that kills two birds with one stone for the Duke."
"Unfortunately, you were lucky enough to resist that time."
"But don't worry, this time you will definitely be."
Before Riom finished speaking, a sharp sword flew towards him.
"Pfft." The long sword pierced his heart smoothly.
Riom looked at Kane with a face full of shock. He never expected that the opponent would make a direct shot here.
There was no longer any arrogant expression on his face, he could only clutch his chest in pain and fell backwards, falling off the horse.
"you you."
Before the words in his mouth were finished, Riom's eyes completely dimmed.
Just as he walked arrogantly and died like a joke.
