North border army camp.
The most elite army in the Northland army is the North Knights. In addition, the largest number of militias recruited during wartime.
Most of them are ordinary farmers, and have only received a little bit of the most basic training. The weapon is a pitchfork. Those who can have an iron sword can be passed down as heirlooms.
Inside the tent.
A rough map was hung up, and many forces were marked in different colors.
"Our troops this time are only 417 people from the North Knights and 5,000 people from the regular Black Crow Legion. In addition, there are only temporary militia recruited, with a total of less than 20,000 people..."
Gran was wearing military uniform: "And the Drake family's army has entered the City of Dragons, and with the army that was originally loyal to the royal family, there is also a strong city. I don't think we should choose the battlefield here."
Frank leaned on a giant sword and looked meticulous: "A wise proposal, but..."
He stood up, like a granite statue: "Philettelin III is my lord. The lord was killed. The ministers have the obligation to avenge him! Where are the ravens from the south and the east?"
"The Duke of Black Fort promised to lead troops north as soon as possible, join us in the Dragon City and condemn the crimes of the Drake family! But he has not taken action for a long time."
"As for the Duke of the Archipelago in the East, his attitude is a bit ambiguous, but he is willing to support us a batch of supplies."
Information from all aspects gathered, and a group of knights looked at the map and formulated combat plans.
When the meeting ended and everyone went out, Frank left Gran behind: "Tell me, my son, is what happened that night like you?"
"I can swear to the Mother God!"
Gran felt a little confused and replied loudly: "It's true that the poisonous woman of Fra that killed her husband and two princes!"
Frank's expression softened and gave him a hug: "I'm glad you can come back alive anyway."
"Thank you, actually that day I thought I would die in Dragon City, but an unexpected person saved me." Gran replied rarely with some confusion.
"Who is that person?"
"His Excellency Eric, the Chief Mage of the Palace."
"So it's a wizard!"
Frank suddenly realized that wizards always had some unknown means, and everything that happened was reasonable.
"Is he still loyal to the king?"
"Maybe!"
But Gran thoughts came to his mind.
The palace change was too deliberate and too rough, and the ending was something that neither big family wanted to see.
He had reason to suspect that there were third-party forces involved.
However, he did not say this guess.
Because there is ambition in the little wolf’s heart!
If the continent is not in chaos, how can there be a place where the knights and him work?
After walking out of the camp, Rofez, dressed in silver armor, followed him: "As the Duke's order, I and a squadron will be transferred to your command."
A squadron of the North Knights' Order is standardized as five black iron knights, one bronze knight, and Rofez, which is definitely a very powerful force.
"Very well, I declare the first order. Sweep away the nobles who are loyal to the Queen and the Drake family!"
Gran's face became ferocious: "We need a steady stream of supplies and we need to let those who follow us taste the sweetness, otherwise the people below will not be able to cheer up."
“Follow your orders.”
Rofez smiled and bowed, "So, what is your goal?"
"That's all right, of course, Drake's closest branches and in-laws..."
Gran looked at Rofez and saw the surprise on the other person's face: "Do you think I will attack that free leader? I'm not a fool. I'm not going to do it before the staff members thought about a solution to that person."
"A wise decision."
Rofez bowed and stepped back.
...
Free collar, manor.
The originally prosperous scene was much more depressed, but a circle of walls was built near the villa and was still being raised and reinforced.
"Looking at this scene, there's really going to be a war."
Sulu returned to the territory with silver eyes, and the first thing he wanted was this scene.
"tutor."
In the villa, two thick dark circles, Ham finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Sulu: "You are finally back!"
"Tell me what happened after I left!"
Sulu half-lying on the chair, staring at Ham.
"Affect your will, since you left, in the Dragon City..."
Ham quickly said what happened, while Sulu's expression became stranger: "You mean... our queen wanted to poison Gran, but by chance he killed her husband and two princes? In the end, she could only give her daughter to the throne? Are you sure she didn't mean it?"
"In fact, this conspiracy theory is very popular, so the queen has another nickname called the regicide!"
Ham replied with a wry smile.
"I always feel that things won't be that simple."
Sulu touched his chin.
"We don't need to consider who the mastermind is, we just need to think about how to deal with the next battle, or how to take sides."
Ham bowed and said, "My lord, you are a free noble, but your territory comes from the king. In theory, you can be counted as the king's sect! At present, some royal nobles choose to be loyal to Fra, while the other part is to the north."
"Do you want to ask about my choice? I choose... neutral!"
Sulu smiled and said, "Whoever dares to invade our territory will fight whoever we want. This is the power of the nobles!"
"Whether it is the Northern Army or the Royal Army? I understand." Ham took a deep breath and felt much more relaxed.
"Well, just keep telling me and start preparing."
In fact, if you want to be a neutral faction, you must have strength, otherwise both sides may destroy you first!
Sulu was just a lord, and even a hundred soldiers in the territory could not get together, but because this was a low demon world and had terrifying personal force, he had this power.
Unfortunately, sometimes, it’s not what he wants to be a melon-eating crowd, but others let him be.
The next day, Sulu had just gotten up and was having breakfast when a huge bell-bumping warning came from his ears.
This is proof that an enemy invades the territory!
His face darkened, and he flashed a few times, and he came to the outside world: "What's going on?"
"grown ups!"
Ham pointed at a team of cavalry not far away: "The knights from the north are peeking at us."
"Hmm? Are Gran and Frank really not afraid of death?"
Sulu was surprised.
"No... sir, although they are knights from the North, they may not have come to obey the orders of those two... They may have just been for personal grudges."
Silver Eyes also came to the side to explain to Sulu.
"Private hatred?" Sulu knocked on the forehead. He killed several knights in the northern border. Those knights should indeed have their own families.
Due to the habits of medieval feudal aristocrats, even if the Duke of Wolf Castle had clear orders, it might not be able to prevent the other party from revenge.
