Outside Augs City.

Joseph stood on the hillside, watching the Western Leaders' coalition forces who had gathered and were ready to siege the city, with a hint of satisfaction flashing through his expression.

The Western Territory is close to Fengyue Free Territory. Among all the participating territories, there are the most nobles here, and their overall strength is second only to the strongest among the Luosen family.

Force these guys to take action, Augs City should be able to capture it.

However, just as Joseph looked at the army outside the city and waited for the army to attack the city, an unexpected scene appeared.

The army led by the western region suddenly became turbulent, and the original regular formation began to be disordered. Gradually, from front to back, the platoon was about to be ranked first, and the platoon was changed to the platoon, and began to retreat to the north...

Joseph was stunned.

The nobles from other consular areas who were watching were also stunned.

They looked at each other, not knowing what the Western leader was doing.

It was not until the chaotic Western leadership coalition lost the siege cars and siege towers that had been prepared and began to move towards the north as a whole that some nobles couldn't help but ask:

"What is Earl Mees doing? Retreat?"

Joseph's expression changed slightly.

He was about to instruct his personal soldiers to check what was going on, but the knights in charge of contacting the coalition forces came on horseback.

"Duke, Duke!"

The knight came to Joseph with anger on his face:

"Earl Mees and other nobles of the Western Territory will not fight, they will return to the Western Territory!"

"No...no more fight?"

The nobles were stunned.

"Another fool! Are they crazy? They actually retreated at this time?"

Joseph was furious.

"It is said that the elves fought to the Western Leader."

The Knight added.

"Elf?"

Joseph was stunned.

Some nobles who were quick-witted immediately understood something, and their expressions changed slightly:

"No, it must be that the elves walked around us and attacked the Western Leader."

But at the same time, more nobles were confused:

"How dare you go around behind me to attack the Western Division? How many elves can there be?"

"No... Our scouts did not find any news about the movement of large-scale elves' army..."

Of course, some nobles shook their heads and said:

"No, maybe it's just a small group of elves. Earl Meese, I know, timid and cowardly, must be scared by elves!"

"What a fool! You should continue to fight at this time. The spoils from Fengyue's free-grabbing are enough to make up for the losses caused by the elves."

Listening to the nobles' discussions, Joseph's expression became even more ugly.

He snorted coldly, and said no more, but instead turned over and rushed towards the direction of the western leadership.

...

"Continue to beat? Fuck! The territory was pushed by the elves, and the strong attack suffered heavy losses. After winning, watch you pick peaches?"

The rear of the Western Leadership Alliance, Oh, no, now it should be said to be ahead. Earl Mees looked at the nobles of other consular areas who were rushing over and shouted angrily.

There is not harmony among the nobles, and it is often the only way to deal with the strength.

Earl Meese's worries are not without reason.

Behind him, the nobles of all sizes in the territory were also red in their eyes and followed:

"That's it!"

"We are going back, we are going to destroy the elves who invade the territory!"

Looking at the Western leader nobles who were anxious like ants, the imperial nobles who rushed over looked at each other.

Earl Mees snorted coldly, pushed away the crowd, and continued to retreat north with his own army.

Until Joseph's angry voice came over and shouted loudly:

"Earl Meath! Retreat before the war. Do you want to go to the trial court of the noble parliament?!"

Hearing his words, Earl Mees did not stop at all, but continued to grit his teeth:

"Duke Rosen! The property of the nobles is sacred and inviolable! The elves sneak attacked our western lords, and we have the right to give up the attack and return to the rescue!"

"Idiots! It's too late for you to go back now! It's better to capture Augs City and make up for the losses from Maple Moon Freedom!"

Joseph scolded.

"I am a fool if I don't go back! When I take down Fengyue Freedom, the entire western corps will be harmed by the elves! Just a Fengyue Freedom. Can so many nobles who participated in the war really make up for our losses?!"

Count Meese asked back.

As soon as these words came out, Joseph opened his mouth and was speechless for a moment.

He took a deep breath and said with a gloomy face:

"Earl Meath, I am the commander-in-chief of the Northern Legion. Since I have joined the Legion, I should listen to me. Now I order you in the name of the commander-in-chief of the Legion and stop retreating immediately!"

Earl Mees laughed in anger:

"Just just the commander of the army, do you really think you are the leader? You have a higher title than me, so respect you on weekdays. After all, everyone is a consular noble who is loyal to His Majesty. As a consular noble, I have the right to withdraw from the war!"

"We the western leader will not fight this offensive battle!"

"Nothing!"

Joseph was completely angry.

He looked at the nobles watching the show around him and ordered:

"What are you still standing there? Stop them!"

The nobles looked at each other without taking any action.

And Earl Mees snorted:

"What? Do you still want to use force to stop us?"

After saying that, he looked at the nobles watching the show meaningfully again and sneered:

"By the way, there are probably tens of thousands of elves who sneaked into the Western Territory. It is said that most of them are cavalry, and many of them even passed through the Western Territory and flew towards other territories..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of many nobles who watched the show also changed.

Many of the nobles watching here also have their hometowns close to the western territories.

Unlike the western territories, which have almost all members of the staff, there are many nobles in other territorial areas who have not arrived or even participated in the war. Many nobles have wars due to territorial disputes on weekdays, and they are also eyeing each other.

If the elves attacked their own territory and did not rush back in time...

Although after the Great Holy War, the Empire's Center and the Eternal Church declared peace throughout the country and prohibited the continued war between the nobles, it would be another matter if the territory captured by the elves was attacked.

I think of many, many nobles shuddered for a moment.

Some people's expressions changed slightly, some people were anxious, and some people's eyes lit up.

"Earl Mees is right! If you want to continue attacking Fengyue Free Leader, you must stabilize the rear!"

"That's right! We should return to help and eliminate the invading elves! Otherwise, even if we conquer Augs City, we will be in a dilemma!"

For a moment, many of the onlookers turned against each other, which made Joseph and some of the northern nobles who followed him stunned.

"Idiots! You idiots!"

He cursed angrily.

However, it can no longer stop the aristocrats from falling apart...

Headed by the Western leaders, nobles of all sizes began to choose to retreat, and this temporary retreat caused even greater chaos.

From a distance, the entire Imperial coalition seemed to be in riots.

On the walls of Augs City, Commander Arthur was stunned when he saw the noble coalition forces who were just in high spirits and were ready to attack the city suddenly became civil unrest.

The soldiers guarding the city looked at each other with strange expressions.

Looking at the grim situation just now, they were ready to fight to the death.

But unexpectedly, the other party was inexplicably confused.

"Look, I said that they will be in civil unrest."

Beside Arthur, all-star Ah Dai looked at the buzzing noble coalition outside the city and laughed.

Arthur's eyes were lit up and full of curiosity:

"It's amazing! Lord Ah Dai, how did you know?"

"Of course, our guerrilla troops touched their backs and went to sneak attack their hometown. The nobles of the Holy Mannian Empire were all virtuous, selfish and guarded against each other. In this case, they would definitely fall apart."

All-star Ah Dai said.

Players have been in the human empire for so long, and after various observations, they have already figured out the characteristics of the imperial nobles. There are even detailed analysis posts on the official website forum.

"So that's what it is..."
