275. Two choices
The climate of the Miracle Continent is somewhat different from that of the Earth.
At least it is very different from the environment Sean thinks he lives in.
On the Miracle Continent, winters in the south are particularly cold, especially at night. On the contrary, the north is quite warm all year round. Even if it is as cool as autumn, it will not make people feel chilled.
At this moment, in a fortress located in Jedbey, the old Baron Morns was sitting in his study, drinking a cup of coffee with a comfortable face.
Half a month ago, he was still panicking about Sean who was about to attack, but now, the notice had been thrown away by him as waste paper. He suddenly felt that perhaps because he was old, he became timid, and even began to be cautious in his work. Of course, he knew that this was just an excuse to comfort himself. In his son's eyes, he had become a little cautious.
A lord who has lost his enterprising spirit and strength is actually no longer suitable for managing a territory.
"Bang bang bang."
Just when Morns was still wandering outside the sky, the knock on the door suddenly rang out.
The sound was neither fast nor slow, revealing a steady smell.
In the entire fortress, only one person had such obvious characteristics of knocking on the door.
That is the eldest son of Baron Old Moons and the only son, Rob.
"Come in." Moons said.
"Father." Rob's face looked a little haggard, and it seemed that he hadn't had a good sleep for several days.
As soon as he saw his son showing this expression, Moons, as a father, felt a little distressed. He knew that since he heard that Panda's side might call him, his son had been thinking of countermeasures overnight, which was actually a considerable mental burden for him. He suddenly felt that it was time to hand over the territory to the next generation. After all, although he was the lord of the Jederbi, his son was dealing with the development of the territory in recent years. Moreover, he advised himself not to join the coalition battle against Panda's side. It was his own willful action that led to the current result.
Thinking of this, Moons looked a little guilty.
Rob was a smart man. When he saw his father's face, he knew what he was thinking. He immediately said, "Father, please don't worry about me, at least our territory is preserved now."
"Yes." Moons nodded. There was a hint of sincere joy in his eyes. "I only now really understand the meaning of the word aristocrat. If that lord really calls us, we really can't resist, but fortunately, the ancient laws of aristocrat protect us."
Rob frowned and looked a little strange: "But according to my understanding of the lord, he is not like the kind of person who will easily compromise."
"So what?" Moons said in a deep voice. "He must compromise even if he does not compromise this time. If he really starts a war desperately, then even the Marquis Tonis will definitely not be able to protect him. At that time, the first thing he needs to face is definitely not us, but the people behind him."
Rob sighed softly: "But even so, once the war begins, we will be the first to suffer."
Moons was slightly stunned, and then he understood the meaning of his son's words.
If the Lord of Panda really launched a war desperately, then although the Principal of Ryan would indeed abandon him without hesitation, even the Marquis of Tonis would not be able to save him. He would definitely be in isolation and helpless at that time. But once the war broke out, the first thing he was to be affected was his Jedbi, even if the Lord would die afterwards, but the Jedbi would definitely become a ruin in this war.
When Moons thought that his family had worked hard for four generations, and now that his son had achieved achievements that were about to be five generations before he could achieve them, Moons's face looked very ugly. But soon, he sighed softly: "Lucky, lucky."
Luckily what?
No need to say it clearly, everyone knows it.
Only Rob, his brows were still frowning, and he always felt that things would not be so simple. At least, he knew very well that there was a corps of more than 5,000 people stationed at the junction of the Jederbird and the Dayi Territory. As far as he knew, it was the famous steel wings of the Panda Territory. It was said that this unit was the battlefield that crossed thousands of miles of Dabiand. Near the junction of the Panda Territory and the Yederbird Territory, several corps led here to camp some time ago. It is said that this was the thunder lion commanded by the Lion King Alfred, and even the commander who defeated the easy coalition, now William. Yale, who is afraid of the entire Darbiant noble circle, has also gone to the front line in person.
Rob didn't believe that the other party was just scaring people if he could act like this.
But when Rob couldn't say a lot when he saw his father's look of gratitude.
However, he thought again that even if Pandaling really launched a war desperately, he was completely powerless to stop it. The reason was very simple. Now the entire Yederby has only one hundred troops. Although the elite level has increased slightly, what can a guard with about one hundred people do?
Even a city cannot be defended at all!
Although there was only one small city with a population of less than 30,000 in Yederby, since the territory's army was defeated by Panda's army, the military guards of this city were no longer the responsibility of their Gades family. At that time, due to the economic crisis of the territory, Rob rented the entire city to a chamber of commerce in exchange for the normal development of the territory during the next period of time. Of course, the city's security issues were also responsible for this chamber of commerce.
Sighing softly, Rob looked at the table and saw the cold coffee and started brewing a new cup of coffee.
He knew that his father liked to drink a cup of coffee when he was in a good mood.
But at this moment, a sudden knock on the door suddenly rang out.
Old Moons frowned, and seemed very dissatisfied with someone disturbing him at this time, but he still said, "What's the matter?"
"Master! Something big happened!"
Listening to this sound, he was obviously the butler of the fortress.
Just when he heard the big incident, Moons' expression became a little strange: "Come in!"
The door was quickly knocked open, obviously because the butler used too much force. For a family that had been passed down for nearly five generations, it could no longer be considered an emerging aristocrat. Such a nobleman paid special attention to etiquette. So seeing that the butler was so out of control, Moons's face became extremely dissatisfied. If it weren't for the butler's years of following him, just such actions tonight would be enough to be expelled from the family.
Fortunately, Rob didn't care about this. After seeing the old butler coming in with a panic look on his face, he immediately asked, "What's wrong?"
"Young Master...Young Master!" When the old housekeeper saw that Rob was there, he knew that the actual manager of the territory had been Rob, and it was only a matter of time before he inherited the title. So he immediately turned his head and said to Rob. "Army! The army led by Panda! They are fighting!"
"What!" Moons stood up with a sudden "splitting" and his face turned extremely pale. "How dare they...they...the army!How dare they!..."
It was obvious that Moons had become a little incoherent.
Rob's face was not as good as it was. However, although his face was a little bad, he at least did not get confused. When Panda had been acting as an invader's offensive posture since half a month ago, he knew that this matter could not end so soon. Even when the entire south of Dabiang was filled with a genius that the lord was a fool who could only speak big, Rob did not relax at all.
Those who have not really fought with Pandaling will not know the power of Pandaling.
So from the beginning, Rob had already thought of a countermeasure to Panda lead the attack this time.
It is true that he is a nobleman, but in the premise of a nobleman, he is also a lord, and the family is placed before the lord.
At this moment, Rob even himself didn't understand why he even felt relieved when he heard the butler saying that Panda's army launched an invasion. But soon, Rob realized a more serious problem. That was that he did not set up camps or set up posts at the border of the territory, because there was not enough troops in his territory to do this. So since the old butler came to inform Panda's army that Panda's army had attacked, there was only one possibility!
The next moment, the roaring thunder sounded rolling.
The alarm bell of the fortress was also sounded at this moment. Immediately afterwards, there were sounds of footsteps everywhere in the fortress. This was the sound of the 100 guards who were responsible for guarding the castle, and it was also mixed with the chaotic footsteps of some maids and other fortress employees carrying out emergency shelter.
Listening to the thunderous sound becoming stronger and stronger, Rob quickly walked to the window.
What caught my eye was a red river rolling in.
But Rob knew that it was because countless people were moving forward with torches. Looking at the rushing red river, it was obvious that these people were all cavalrymen.
The First Cavalry Regiment led by Panda!
Rob's face suddenly changed.
As a neighbor of Panda Territory, Rob of course also collected some intelligence information about Panda Territory, so he knew very well that Panda Territory had a cavalry unit, called the First Cavalry Regiment. The number of people in this unit was not very large, but the number was small compared to other people. For the Jederbi Territory, this number was still very large.
But the real reason why Rob's face changed drastically was that he knew that the commander of this army was a man named Reina.
She is the strongest person under Sean, and she is already a golden-level strongman!
Rob never expected that Panda led the vanguard troops responsible for taking the lead this time would be the first cavalry regiment led by Reina, the golden-level powerful man.
Not to mention that there are only one hundred guards in the fortress, even with the same number of people, he would not think that he was an opponent of the enemy's troops.
Seeing that the goal of the First Cavalry Regiment was the Jedbee Fortress where he was, Rob felt bitter.
He knew that the war between Panda's ruler of the Principal of Ryan and Tingqiin ruler of the Kingdom of Dabiang had finally begun.
Moreover, Jedebi will be the first victim in this war. No matter what the final result of this war, Jedebi has no way to escape. Now he has only two choices left.
Or fight to the death.
Or... surrender. (To be continued...)
ps: When I was having midnight snack last night, I suddenly got stuck in my throat by the fish bones, and then I went to the hospital for treatment. I went to the hospital for a long time. Therefore, I only made up for the update the day before yesterday and there was no follow-up. I am very sorry for this accident... Although the fish bones were taken out in the end, the throat was still cut. Now it hurts when you swallow it. It's so uncomfortable.
