Just as Viscount Wayne and other baronial lords looked distressed, on the flat and barren land of the North County Territory, a group of people had already started to move forward, forming a mighty long dragon, and the goal was Grottenburg.
It was the government and political center of the North County Territory, and it was also the residence of Viscount Wayne's family.
To the north is the wilderness.
To the south is the relatively fertile Lion Mountain.
There are countless streams converging in the mountains, although most of them flow towards the south, but a few flow to the north, bypassing the foot of the mountain to form a small river, barely nourishing the soil at the foot of the mountain.
At the very least, let Viscount Wayne's family be self-sufficient in agriculture.
It is the only good place in North County.
But in this good place now, there have been many changes.
On the walls of Grottenburg, the troops responsible for staying behind the castle are standing by.
Sword and shield soldiers, pikemen, archers and crossbowmen also stood by behind the city gate and on the city wall one after another. They were all fully equipped with weapons, and there were nearly 1,000 people.
These are the real foundations that the Wayne family has trained and cultivated in a hundred years.
There were even 2 great knights among the group.
With the addition of Viscount Wayne and the 6 great knights below, the Wayne family already has 9 great knights.
It has to be said that these nobles are really clever in hiding. According to the official records of the Lion Principality, Viscount Wayne of the Northern County is the great knight, and there is no one else besides him.
But if you think about it carefully, there are even two people in the Stone Pass, plus the castle where Viscount Kevin is.
Hidden too well!
But even so.
It doesn't matter to the cavalry below and outside the castle, whose number is close to 3000.
The 50 royal knights are all great knights, who have mastered extraordinary power. Apart from being unable to directly attack the city, in a field battle, forming such a large-scale assault force can easily penetrate the infantry phalanx of tens of thousands.
With the 1,500 heavy cavalry and 1,300 light cavalry, it is no problem to defeat an infantry group of less than 30,000 people!
Even without these royal knights.
The number of heavy cavalry and light cavalry alone is enough to deter.
Now, the members of the Wayne family were all trembling with fright. Even the sons of Viscount Wayne, who were wearing full armor and chain mail, were still pale.
Heavy cavalry troops of this size are rare in Beijun Territory.
The key is.
His father is inside.
And he also asked himself to open the door to these strange troops.
Reminiscent of the fact that the aristocratic allied forces went to attack the Jianshi Pass together, and now they are brought back by a strange army. Thinking about the ending, it is really not difficult to guess, it is definitely defeated.
If it's an ordinary defeat, it's fine, the worst is to close the castle and stick to it.
But his own father.
The heads of the Wayne family are all below.
How exactly, these young people really don't know what to do.
But more, after they had a brief meeting, they decided not to open the city gate.
There is still talk now, if the city gate is opened and that strange army rushes into the castle, there will be nothing to talk about, even their safety cannot be guaranteed, let alone the family members inside.
The Wayne family can have no head, but it must not be cut off!
It's not that the Patriarch has never died on the battlefield.
But there is a point.
As a noble family, absolutely cannot cut off all bloodlines!
The bloodline indicates the inheritance of the family. Look at those once glorious families in history, but in the end the inheritance was cut off because all the members were killed. This also means that the glory of the family was cut off and completely wiped out in history.
Although their Wayne family is not a high-ranking family, it is definitely not a small family.
Being able to occupy the North County Territory shows its own strength.
want to continue.
Learn how to sacrifice!
Even those few young people who have not yet fully taken over the family have thoughts in their hearts that are about to move.
In the past, their father, Viscount Wayne, was still in his prime, so it was not their turn to talk to them at all. Now suddenly his father was captured, and he stepped into battle to control the power of the family. This feeling... very good!
Even in less than half a day, the hearts of the whole family gathered in their hearts.
For now they are in danger of extinction.
There is no way.
That's why we can unite as one!
However, just when this group of people were dreaming, an envoy arrived.
Fatis personally led the team, followed by 10 royal knights, and came to the gate of the city to tell the defenders above that they hoped to talk.
The willingness to negotiate was quickly confirmed, and a huge basket was put down on the city wall, which could just seat three people. Fatis was not surprised, and went up to the city wall with two royal knights, and the Wayne family who were secretly on guard. The infantrymen negotiate.
As an experienced nobleman, Fatis also sensed their uneasiness.
Mouth smile.
Fatis looked very elegant: "We don't have any hostile thoughts."
"Really?" Viscount Wayne's eldest son and heir in line was in charge of the negotiations: "Then please send my father back to the castle, and then ask your troops to leave the castle's 3km range."
"These are actually possible." Fatis nodded with a smile.
"Yes?" The eldest son frowned: "So what do you mean, there is a price?"
"That's right!"
Fatis nodded.
Looking at the eldest son who is younger than himself: "Logistics supplies, this is our price!"
"Huh?" The eldest son was stunned: "What do you want to do?" He looked at Fatis as if he was looking at a lunatic: "I know you are the subordinates of Baron Kant, but you must know that the army of the South County Commander is the North County Commander Ten times stronger, this is definitely not alarmist talk, it is a fact!"
"Is it?"
Fatis chuckled.
But his words are still firm: "I still need to tell you, to ensure the logistics supplies for my troops, and then nothing will happen, otherwise we will do some irrational behaviors."
"Yes!" The eldest son didn't have any objections, and gritted his teeth: "But I can only subsidize you secretly, without signing any contract!"
"no problem!"
Fatis nodded with a smile: "Happy cooperation."
But the eldest son said silently: "What about my father? And the troops my father took away. I need to see them!" We are so powerful, it is impossible for us to follow you to attack the South County Territory, especially when you fail, we will be liquidated!"
"That won't work." Fatis still chuckled: "Your Wayne family is already willing to cooperate with us, and Viscount Wayne has also represented the Wayne family and is loyal to Baron Kant. This is a fact!"
