Alfalfa City North District, City Lord's Mansion.
The candlelight on the table swayed under the blowing of the night wind, just like the mood of the city lord Ron Rutte.
The bustle on the other side had woken Ron up long ago, but he didn't know what was going on there, and he didn't dare to make any moves for fear of causing fire.
thump thump.
In the sound of footsteps, Jason Rutte ran in panting, with an uncontrollable joy on his face, and shouted:
"Father! The Tianma navy is fighting on its own!"
Ron stared, and asked eagerly, "What do you mean fighting yourself?"
"Anyway, their warships fought against themselves, and a large number of warships have been reduced to ashes in that terrible green fire!
What's more, the people I sent to investigate on the other side also reported that people from the Clover Brotherhood were also taking advantage of the fire to loot, and there was already a mess over there! "
Looking at his son who was gloating at his misfortune, Ron calmed down and asked in confusion, "How could this be? Why did the Pegasus Navy have civil strife? Why did the Clover Brotherhood betray the East?"
Jason scratched his head and hesitated, "Could this be Count Angelet's plan?"
Ron frowned even tighter: "Then why didn't we get any news?"
Jason stopped talking.
It's an awkward subject.
If it was really a scheme planned by Earl Angelet, it is really embarrassing that the Rutte family, who are close at hand and the owners of Clover City, have not received any news.
The room was silent for a while, Jason couldn't help breaking the silence, and suggested: "Father, why don't we send someone to the other side too! Maybe we can get some credit for it..."
Ron rolled his eyes and interrupted angrily: "Send who? You?"
Jason shrank his head, and suddenly dared not speak.
Ron glared at his son bitterly, but didn't make things difficult for him.
Because he also knew very well that based on the current strength of the Rutte family, if he really sent his son to take someone to the other side, it would be like sending him to die.
But if he really did nothing and let this wonderful opportunity that might make the Rutte family rise again slip away, he would be very unwilling.
Looking at the other side where the flames were soaring into the sky, Ron hesitated for a long time, and finally made up his mind. He turned his head and asked, "How many warships can we have now?"
"Five ships." Jason thought about the fleet configuration of the Tianma Navy, and said guiltily, "And they are all small ships with a displacement of less than 100 tons..."
Ron walked back and forth in the hall a few times anxiously, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "It's okay! The Tianma navy is too busy to take care of themselves now, so they may not be on guard against us."
Jason hesitated and said, "Father, but with our family's existing private army, even if we cross the Nushui River, it is impossible to gain a firm foothold on the other side..."
"No! Of course we don't want to occupy the opposite bank."
"Then what is our goal?"
"Earl Evan!" Ron said in a deep voice, "I know that Earl Evan is on the other side. As long as we seize him while we are in the chaos, there will be hope for the revival of the Rutte family!"
Jason's eyes lit up, as if he felt that the proposal was quite feasible, but just when he was about to agree with it, he suddenly felt a tremor like an earthquake.
At first he didn't pay attention, thinking it was an explosion from the other side, but the shock was not explosive, but continuous, and it became stronger and stronger, as if thousands of galloping beasts rushed into Clover City.
"Father... Father..." Jason was obviously taken aback.
Ron didn't panic. Instead, he was relieved and regretful, and said, "It's the cavalry. It should be the blood cavalry entering the city."
"Blood Cavalry? Count Angelet?" Jason finally realized.
As soon as the words fell, the housekeeper hurried into the room and reported: "Master, the blood cavalry army has entered the city!"
"Quick! Line up to welcome!"
While speaking, Ron rushed out.
Jason quickly followed.
When the father and son walked out of the City Lord's Mansion, they saw a long fire dragon appearing at the end of the street.
Soon, a group of cavalry holding torches approached the front of the city lord's mansion.
Ron straightened his collar, and wanted to step forward to ask questions, but found that the other party had no intention of slowing down at all, and was still galloping past the city lord's mansion like lightning.
The resulting wind and waves messed up Ron's carefully groomed hair.
Just when he was in great embarrassment, an officer of the Blood Cavalry Army finally stopped in front of the City Lord's Mansion and asked, "Are you the City Lord Ron?"
"Yes, General!" Ron quickly replied, "Where is the Earl?"
The officer did not answer Ron's question, but said indifferently: "The blood cavalry army will cross the river in Clover City, so I would like to inform you."
Seeing that the other party refused to disclose Count Angelet's whereabouts, Ron was annoyed but didn't dare to show it at all. He could only keep nodding and said, "Okay, okay! Is there anything I can do to help?"
The officer glanced at Ron expressionlessly, and said, "Just recruit as many ships as possible."
"good!"
—————
On the river of anger.
Earl Hall stared at the gradually extinguishing fire not far away, with a solemn face and a dignified expression.
The heavy warships of the St. Pross family had all been reduced to ashes in the terrible [wildfire], and most of the remaining light warships were buried underwater. Although the remaining warships were still swaying around like flies, they could no longer Change the tide of battle again.
In this battle, the Hall family won a decisive victory!
From today on, on the Nushui River, the Hall family has the final say.
But even so, Earl Hall did not have much joy of victory in his heart.
The sound of footsteps behind Earl Hall interrupted his contemplation. He thought it was Marquis Vincent, so he quickly turned around and was about to say hello, but when he saw the face of the person coming, he suddenly froze in place.
"An... Earl Angelet?"
"Earl Hall, your fleet really opened my eyes!"
Looking at Colin who was smiling all over his face, Earl Hall came back to his senses and hurriedly bowed and said, "Master Earl, you are flattering yourself!"
Although he was a little puzzled about how Colin got on the boat, Earl Hall did not ask this question.
He secretly guessed that the young Northern Earl might have been on board last night, hiding in the dark to monitor his every word and deed.
If he has the slightest hesitation and weakness, I am afraid that the other party will join forces with Marquis Vincent to emptify him and personally command the fleet of the Hall family.
Colin looked at Earl Hall with a complex expression, thinking that the other party was worried about the family members who stayed in Bailu City, so he comforted him:
"Don't worry, as long as your fleet sends the Blood Cavalry Army across the Nushui River, I guarantee that your family will not suffer any harm!"
Earl Hall immediately thought of the conditions of the northern border that Marquis Vincent had told him - a duke for the eastern border.
For a while, the old earl was in an extremely complicated mood.
But he also understood that it was impossible for him to retreat.
"Yes, Lord Earl! The Hall family's fleet is very happy to serve you!"
