Just as William was taking Selanne and Diana to visit the Hall of Justice, the butler reported that Pytheus had arrived.
"William, if you have something to do, I can just take Diana to visit."
Selani held Diana's hand and said with a smile.
"Okay, you guys can play by yourself first."
William didn't say anything more, turned around and walked back.
In their recent interactions with Diana, the two of them have gradually broken through the relationship between ordinary lords and subjects.
Nothing memorable happened, it just happened naturally.
William could tell that Diana might have been concentrating on learning magic in the past, so she had a simpler mind and a more direct personality. When getting along with William, she was not particularly afraid of the authority of the lord.
But this is normal.
Not to mention her own personality, just her identity as a magician carries with her a vague sense of transcendent dignity.
Back in the royal capital, even if William was a prince, he had to be more respectful when facing the magic teacher Langbris.
Selani sees the development of the relationship between the two of them most clearly, and she is still willing to play a role in it.
After thinking about it, William smiled slightly.
This kind of experience is quite good, and it can dilute the boringness of practice with warmth.
In the living room, Pisius said respectfully: "Hello, Lord."
"I just received the latest information. A foreign figure has appeared in the Howling Wolf Grassland. There are only a small number of people. They are patrolling around the territory, seeming to spy on the reality."
"The border sentry didn't dare to get close, but according to the analysis of the footprints, it looks like a wolf cavalry."
Wolf Cavalry?
Upon hearing this name, relevant knowledge immediately came to William's mind.
The Wolf Cavalry is a type of soldier from a foreign race, usually the main force that invades the borders of Sedes.
They come and go like the wind, they are ferocious and violent, and their illustrious reputation can almost stop children from crying at night.
"It seems that the alien invasion has only occurred in the past half month."
Tapping his fingers on the armrest, William looked as normal and said calmly:
"We killed Kelly Ford and cut off the secret transactions between the aliens and the Baron Territory. With the encouragement of Kelly Ford's son, their invasion team this time may be far larger than before."
After numerous investigations, the details of Kelly Ford were turned upside down.
Ever since he took over the garrison, he has been having irregular transactions with foreign races, such as selling iron tools, food, etc.
Relying on the unique geographical location of the Barron Territory, he could obtain financial support from Sedes on the one hand, and trade with foreign races on the other. In the process, he made a lot of money.
Even his son Avi Iftien has been to the Howling Wolf Grassland more than once.
After Califord's death, William naturally cut off all transactions with foreign races.
It can be expected that the foreign tribes will become angry and launch a large-scale conquest.
"We have been preparing for this day for a long time, and now they are finally coming. What a good time! They can just test whether the iron swords of our Baron soldiers are sharp or not!"
"Go down with the order and prepare your troops for war!"
Pisius solemnly accepted the order and said in a deep voice.
…
Howling Wolf Prairie.
Although this area is called grassland, it has more than just grasslands, hills, rivers, and mountains and forests.
It's just that because the area bordering the Kingdom of Sides is a grassland landscape, people in Sides habitually call it the Howling Wolf Grassland.
It extends outward from the Barren Territory, through the barren middle zone, and through the gradually fertile grassland zone.
Deep inside, is the habitat of the "alien".
At this time, Avi Iftien was walking and chatting with a foreigner.
This alien looks very similar to ordinary humans, except that his arm bones are curved and his ears are furry animal ears.
"Teufele, it's already July, when are you going to attack the Barren Territory?"
Ivey's voice was very calm, but his tone was a little impatient:
"Do you want William Sides to establish a firm foothold in the Barron Territory before you act? Although your wolf cavalry is powerful, the integrated Barron Territory is not a weak sheep."
"Don't worry, don't worry, my friend."
The alien named Teufele was not angry, but gently calmed Ivy's mood.
The two of them walked all the way to the small river. Teufele picked up the river water and splashed it on his face.
The clear river water flowed down smoothly from his face, and a few splashing water droplets fell on the animal's ears. The ears suddenly flapped twice, knocking the water droplets away.
"It's not that I'm anxious, but I haven't been able to see your actions, so I'm very worried."
Avi Iftian found a stone to sit down on and said in a deep voice:
"Now I have completely cut off contact with the Barron Territory, and I don't know if anything happened to those who followed my father. If they are all eliminated by William Sides, even if you help me take back the Barron Territory, I will
You can’t control it anymore. When the time comes, you can only rob some supplies and leave, but you won’t be able to repair the original trade channels.”
The werewolf alien opposite had a close relationship with Ivey, so he didn't have too many worries.
He was once sent by Califord to the Howling Wolf Grassland to open up trade channels, and the person he connected with was Teufele.
"Avi, I have received information that several nobles have died in Barron's territory recently."
"you mean……"
"That's right, those who died are all your father's followers. Now your father's influence in the Baron Territory has almost disappeared."
Avi Iftian's expression was dull, "How could this happen?"
The reason why he defected to the foreign race was those nobles.
If they die.
Is there any value for myself?
Thinking of this, Avi Iftien felt a chill in his heart.
"Then what are your plans?"
"It's very simple, completely defeat the Barron Territory!"
Break through?
Didn't they break through every time before, even with Kelly Ford's assistance...
Just when he was about to ask, Avi Iftien suddenly had an idea and his eyes suddenly widened:
"Completely conquer? You want to occupy the Barron Territory, not just plunder?"
"That's right."
Teufele licked his lips and said excitedly:
"We used to grab some supplies and leave, but this time it's different. We want to completely occupy it and use it as a basis to further invade the Kingdom of Sides."
Hearing this, Avi Iftien was shocked.
The alien race is about to make a big move!
In the past, it was just a small robbery of supplies. Although the Sedes Kingdom was very annoying, the losses were controlled within the Barron Territory and did not cause major turmoil in the kingdom.
Moreover, the aliens are not inhuman beasts, and they do not kill wantonly.
This ensured that the Baron Territory would always be under the rule of Sedes.
If the foreign race completely occupied the Barron Territory, it would be equivalent to announcing that a piece of territory of the Kingdom of Sedes had been taken away.
No matter how weak the current king is, he will not sit back and watch this happen.
"Teufele, do you want to declare war on the Kingdom of Sedes?"
"Declaration of war? No, no, we will not declare war, we will only fight. Fighting is our nature!"
