That night, Anduin wrote a "sincere" handwritten letter to the Marquis of the Rivers.
The letter stated that he was very honored to accept the surrender of the Marquis of River on behalf of Hetan Town. In order to show his sincerity, he would personally go to Yohn City with his direct subordinates in four days.
Between the lines of the letter, Anduin also revealed intentionally or unintentionally that he welcomed the River Family to join him and was willing to absorb them to expand his wings. I hope they can receive this signal.
The next day, that is, the morning of August 15th.
Anduin personally handed this autographed letter to the messenger, and found him a good horse so that he could deliver the letter to Yonn City as quickly as possible.
The envoy did not dare to be negligent, so he mounted his fast horse and returned along the original route.
That afternoon, he returned to Yonn City and handed Anduin's autographed letter to his lord, the Marquis of the River.
In the study room of the Golden Wolf King Castle, Marquis River studied the autographed letter in his hand, the smile on his lips growing wider.
Jessica, who was sitting opposite, saw her father's expression and immediately asked: "Father, does it mean that Anduin agreed?"
"Of course." Marquis of River smiled and nodded: "Anduin promised us to come to Yohn City in person four days later to accept our surrender. Our plan is half successful! Jessica, we have been well prepared these days.
Let’s get ready for Anduin’s arrival!”
"Okay, father." Jessica's frown relaxed.
In this way, she would no longer have to take the path of "parricide".
.
Anduin spent a day deciding on the candidates for the team going to Yonn City.
On the morning of August 16, Anduin and his team set off for Yohn City.
This team is dominated by Anduin, orange cat Olivia and Khadgar lurking in the dark, and the other personnel are just foils.
There are two sky-levelers, enough to ensure the safety of the entire team.
.
In the afternoon of the same day, Sean also returned to Riverside Town through the [Portal], preparing to go to Yonn City to join Anduin.
After capturing the city of Yohn, they can use the city of Yohn as .asxs. and take the entire Yohn region into their hands.
By then, Sean will own the three areas of John City, Port Caple, and Rhode Island, and half of the principality will be under Sean's control!
.
Before setting off for Yohn City, Sean also met with Countess Angelina Steam.
The Countess of Steam was the original lord of College Town. She had been staying in Riverside Town to recuperate since she escaped from the clutches of the Marquis of Rivers last time.
Of course, Sean can't let her recuperate forever. Now that she can be used, she must make a statement.
In the study room of Riverbank Castle, Sean met the Countess of Steam.
The Countess of Steam's injuries have almost recovered, but she is very aware of the current situation in the entire Jon area, and her brows are filled with worry.
After meeting the countess, Sean went straight to the point: "Angelina, how did you think about the conditions I made you last time?"
At the same time, Sean also took the tea brought by the waiter, took a sip, and sighed: "Angelina, this is the specialty tea of ​​the Pandaren Empire. It is a rare treasure. You can try it."
Countess Steam had no intention of drinking tea. After hesitating for a while, she knelt down on one knee towards Sean:
"Your Highness Sean, I am willing to pledge my allegiance to you on behalf of my family, join your command, and become part of your power."
"Very good!" Sean smiled and stood up from his seat: "Let's go to Yohn City to meet Anduin together. After we capture Yohn City, I will let you go back to Academy Town. "
"Take the city of Jon? But... everything will follow your orders, Your Highness Sean." Countess Steam replied.
.
The main reason why Sean wants to recruit Countess Steam is to expand his army.
His current army only has a hundred troops from Hetan Town, which is too small and not enough to occupy a territory as large as the Yohn area.
Even if the army is expanded, it will only be able to harvest a batch of good and bad new troops in a short period of time. It will not significantly improve the military strength of the entire territory, but will instead be a drag.
If you want to expand your army, the best way is to recruit all the captured elite water nobles into your ranks.
But these elite troops obviously won't listen to Sean. They all have a strong sense of "loyalty".
For example, the elite troops of the River Family will only be loyal to the core members of the River Family.
Even if they are forcibly recruited, there is a high probability that they will be "in Cao's camp and in Han", which will not achieve the effect at all.
So Sean wants the allegiance of Countess Steam.
After the countess pledges allegiance, he can temporarily control the elite troops of the water nobles (except for the direct troops of the river family) through the countess.
After taking the city of Jon in the future, you can control the army directly under the River family through Vivian.
This is equivalent to saying that Sean indirectly controls all the elite troops of the water nobles.
Later, it will be slowly converted and absorbed into the actual power of the territory.
.
.
Here Sean has gained the allegiance of the countess, while over there, Anduin is still on his way.
Three days later, August 18th.
On this day, Anduin led the troops and finally arrived at Yohn City. There were only a few kilometers left from the east gate of Yohn City.
"Alas! We've finally arrived!" Anduin couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the towering walls of Yonn City in the distance.
They have been walking all the way these days and passed several villages and towns in the Youn area, such as the now dilapidated Lookout Town.
In order to show his sincerity, the Marquis of the Rivers spread the news of "surrendering to Anduin" to all the surrounding villages and towns, so Anduin could basically judge that the Marquis of the Rivers was sincerely surrendering to him, rather than a deliberate trap. .
So what Anduin thought more about along the way was not "how to capture Yohn City", but "what to do after taking Yohn City".
But at this moment, the orange cat Olivia suddenly raised her head from his arms and looked at the southern sky.
But she only glanced at it before burying her head in Anduin's arms again.
Seeing Olivia's actions, Anduin also roughly understood that Khadgar was probably back.
Sure enough, more than ten seconds later, a dark blue raven passed through the jungle and landed on Anduin's shoulder: "Anduin, I'm back!"
"Khadgar, how are you doing there, sir?"
"I've seen their itinerary, and they will probably arrive at Jon City this afternoon." Khadgar replied.
Anduin's eyes narrowed slightly: "That means we are going to take Yohn City this morning, right?"
"That's what I mean." Khadgar flapped his wings: "Don't worry, one morning is enough. There is no sky ladder in Yonn City."
Chapter completed!
