[System prompt: The friendship between you and Earl Harlan has been increased to 8.]
"You are too polite, Earl Harlan, you are my brother and my ally, I should help you! By the way, we are having dinner, do you want to come with us?"
"Of course, don't bother me. My troops will also be stationed in your Uxhall today."
"It's okay, it's okay, please."
On their way back to the Lord's Hall for dinner together, Earl Harlan also expressed his intention to come.
He said: "Did you know that there is an enemy kingdom in the north of our kingdom called the Kingdom of Nord?"
"Hmm... I haven't heard of it. Can you tell me briefly?"
"The Kingdom of Nord is like this..." Earl Harlan gave a rough description.
"Oh oh oh, I understand, then?"
"Then, our king, Harlaus X, gave you and me a mission to go to the Kingdom of Nord to provoke one of their lords, causing conflicts, and eventually a war between the kingdoms broke out."
When Earl Harlan said this, the system also automatically came online: [You have obtained a new mission.]
[Together with Earl Harlan, go to the Nordic Kingdom in the north, provoke a lord and start a war, and defeat the other party. 】
Russell thought for a moment and asked: "Does our king want to take this opportunity to occupy the territory of the Kingdom of Nord? Anyway, we are currently in a truce and peace stage with the Kugit Khanate, but our morale is strong, and we can only attack now."
It’s the best defense!”
Earl Harlan nodded and said: "I guess that's the case. Anyway, let's complete the task together first. I believe in your strength, we will definitely be able to handle it."
"However, in this case, the Nordic Kingdom will point its finger at both of us. If King Haraus X does not support us in time, we are likely to face the pressure of a large army."
"Well... Russell, don't worry too much. We will discuss the countermeasures tomorrow. What do you think?"
"Okay, let's eat and rest first. By the way, do you want to play a few games at my Yanluo Casino?"
"Sounds very good." Earl Harlan agreed with a smile. He never imagined that he would laugh so happily when he agreed now and cry in pain later.
So, that night, Russell made a fortune from Earl Harlan through the casino...
[System prompt: Congratulations on getting 5,000 dinars through the casino. Currently, you have a total of 15,000 dinars left.]
The next morning, after breakfast, the two began to discuss it seriously.
The experienced Earl Harlan first said: "I think you are a little too worried about Dracelle. The invasion of the army will only happen after the kingdom officially starts the war. Besides, we only provoke one of the lords on the opposite side."
Russell nodded in approval and replied:
"You mean, even if someone retaliates against us, it would only be the army of this one lord. It makes sense. Besides, our fiefdom is quite far away from the Kingdom of Nord. If they want to attack our country, they can't attack us either."
A base."
"That's right, if our fiefdom is really at the forefront and the king assigns us this task, we won't be able to do it with all our heart, what do you think?"
Although Earl Harlan's words may sound a bit strange and appear to be not that loyal, they are also reasonable and reasonable. After all, in most situations, everyone always gives priority to their own interests before considering others.
Moreover, the fact that Earl Harlan could say such a thing in front of him meant that he had a good relationship with him.
As a result, Russell stopped being coy. He stood up, patted Earl Harlan on the shoulder, and said with a smile:
"Okay, in that case, Earl Harlan, it's still the same as before. You will be the coach and I will cooperate with you. You will be responsible for the specific plans and orders."
"Well, I already made a plan on the way to find you. Let's pick a soft persimmon to bully. I heard that there is a brave Arthur in the Kingdom of Nord, so we will attack him!"
Brave is the honorific title given to the lord in the Kingdom of Nord. It is the same concept as the earl of the Kingdom of Swadia and the Nayan of the Kugit Khanate, and is a noble title.
So it can also be understood that this guy is called Arthur.
"No problem, Earl Harlan, you can go and command your troops first. How about we gather at the main entrance of the town later?"
Earl Harlan nodded slightly and replied: "Okay."
After Earl Harlan left, Russell silently communicated with the system in his heart:
I said system, please introduce this Nord Kingdom to me again. When this bastard told me yesterday, I didn’t listen carefully, and now I’ve forgotten all about it when I woke up, hahaha.
[System prompt: Can you please be a little longer? I'm really speechless, okay, okay...]
[System prompt: The Nords settled on the northern coast of Calradia. Their symbolic animal is the crow, and their leader is King Gnar. Their race yearns for close combat, so the country’s infantry is extremely powerful.]
[Introduction to Nord upgrade trees, all in one category.]
[Nord Barbarian-Intermediate Barbarian-Advanced Barbarian-Personal Guard-Royal Personal Guard] (Level 5)
Damn it, there is only one upgrade route, but it has level 5 soldiers, which is better than that stupid Kugit Khanate.
According to this situation, it seems that horses are very scarce in their Nordic Kingdom, Drasel thought in his heart.
So about the system, don't they only have pure melee combat? They don't even have any long-range offensive units? This kingdom is a bit Muggle-like...
[Evaluation: Have I given you face, and you still shamelessly continue to ask!? You know too much and have no comment, please continue the game.]
After saying that, without waiting for Russell to reply, the system automatically went offline...
At this time, Ren and Safiya had also gotten up and had breakfast. Xiao Nan and Xiao Ming had also been waiting outside the Lord's Hall for a long time.
"Okay, the old rules, leave 4 Swadian soldiers to guard the four doors of the house. Everyone else, let's go! Xiao Nan, you command the tavern mercenary knights, Xiao Ming, you command the Swadian iron knights."
"Yes! My distinguished master!" Xiao Nan and Xiao Ming nodded respectfully. After answering in unison, they immediately turned and left, preparing to arrange their troops.
Watching the two of them leaving, Safiya felt that there was some negligence in this arrangement, so she asked: "Baron, will you take command of the remaining infantrymen yourself?"
"Well... they are all under your command. I hope these infantry can protect you. You are my most precious princess, Safiya~" Drasel said affectionately.
