The expulsion of these nobles from the Glory Continent immediately caused an uproar among the other nobles of the Glory Continent.
Everyone had already felt the contempt and oppression of them by the nobles of the Holy Continent.
Now even the wealth may be deprived, which made these nobles feel a sense of crisis, and then they began to communicate frequently to discuss the future fate of themselves and others.
Although they did not belong to the Bach Empire, the empire they belonged to had no intention of expelling them.
But this is also a life dependent on others, and they really don't live a stable life.
As these nobles discussed and thought about it, they finally found that they had no particularly good way to deal with this.
After all, it's the strength that lies there. I want to avoid being bullied, but I'm not strong enough.
Even if they unite, they are only equivalent to the strength of a small principality in the Holy Continent.
Of course, it's not like they didn't discuss a compromise.
That's Narant.
Narant was still a baron in name only.
But now Nalant's strength is enough for nobles like them who also belong to the Glory Continent to look up to him.
And Nalant is now among all the nobles of the Glory Continent who has the strength to confront certain forces in the Holy Continent head-on.
In this way, some nobles had the idea of ​​​​taking refuge in Nalant.
With Nalant's strength and their unity, this power should no longer be underestimated by the people of the Holy Continent.
Of course, everyone didn't know at this moment that Nalant, whom they were counting on, was about to face his most critical battle since coming to the Holy Continent.
Why is it said to be the most critical battle?
The reason is simple. He fought two wars in the past, and the enemies he faced were either orcs or goblins.
Even if these two enemies can really defeat him in the end, Narant can 'strategically evacuate'.
As long as he retreats deep into the Holy Alliance, the orcs and goblins will have no way to deal with him.
In addition, even if the orcs and goblins captured his territory, they would not be able to occupy it for long.
Because this land belongs to the Holy Alliance, if the orcs and goblins want to occupy his territory for a long time, the Holy Alliance will be the first to refuse.
In this way, as long as the orcs or goblins evacuate, Nalant can return without hesitation.
But the enemy we faced this time was the Bach Empire.
The Bach Empire was already one of the most powerful empires in the alliance.
It launched a war against Nalant. Once Nalant was defeated, it meant that there would be no place for it within the Holy Alliance.
At least it is impossible for his subordinates to follow him and defect to other empires.
As for the territory of his Storm Territory, the Bach Empire will not occupy it and cultivate it on its own.
But as long as the Bach Empire is around, it means that Nalant's territory cannot be returned to his hands.
In this way, by then he, the lord, will exist in name only.
A lord without land and serfs is not a lord at all.
Therefore, Narant must resist the attack of the Bach Empire this time so that he can continue to live peacefully in his own territory.
And on this day, Nalant finally received a message from Duke Miller who sent people on horseback.
"Coalition forces?"
When Nalant read the letter sent by Duke Miller, his brows suddenly furrowed.
"Yes, Baron Nalant, this matter has spread throughout the alliance, and the Bach Empire has contacted seven principalities that are allied with them."
"Although these principalities are not as powerful as the empire, each principality can dispatch thousands of extraordinary knights."
"If they were gathered together, there would be at least 40,000 to 50,000 extraordinary knights!"
"In addition, before I set off, I heard that the Bach Empire was preparing to dispatch their empire's Guards Knights, which should number 50,000 extraordinary knights."
"Total together, there are at least nearly one hundred thousand extraordinary knights!" The messenger in front of Nalant, who was responsible for delivering the message, replied respectfully.
"The Bach Empire really thinks highly of me. It was enough for the Dignified Empire to deal with me, but now it has even enlisted the coalition forces. This is to scare the monkeys and show off the majesty of the Bach Empire!"
After hearing this, Nalant just pondered for a moment and realized why the Bach Empire did what it did.
In this expedition to the Land of Death, the Bach Empire's army lost all face under Eric's cunning tactics.
This will greatly damage the prestige of the Bach Empire within the Holy Alliance.
Now, if the Bach Empire wants to re-establish its prestige, it must show its strength.
And he, Narant, happened to be the target of the Bach Empire's prestige.
"Baron Nalant, Your Majesty the Duke said that at the Alliance Parliament meeting a few days ago, our representatives from the Nok Empire and the Blue Shield Empire objected to the Bach Empire's pursuit of your responsibility."
"But after all, there is no way to stop the Bach Empire's military action against you."
"Furthermore, after learning that the Bach Empire wanted to form a coalition to attack you this time, our noble representatives also stopped it."
"It's a pity that the Bach Empire took advantage of a loophole in the alliance's laws. That is, the law stipulates that launching a civil war among the coalition forces only requires the unanimous vote of the six empires when facing principalities and empires."
"But because you do not belong to any principality in the alliance, our empire cannot intervene in the Bach Empire's formation of a coalition army!"
"However, the Duke also said that if you are not sure of victory, it is best to make arrangements in advance."
"If possible, leave with me to our Nok Empire in the near future. The Duke can guarantee your safety." The messenger continued.
"Well, although I failed to stop the military operations of the Bach Empire, I know that Duke Miller must have tried his best. I would also like to thank Duke Miller for his help here!"
"However, regarding the early evacuation, you go back and tell Duke Miller that I have invested too much effort in the Storm Territory, so I cannot escape."
"So, I will wait for the Bach Empire's coalition forces to arrive."
Although Narant did not know the details of the parliamentary meeting, he was able to persuade the King of the Nok Empire to oppose the Bach Empire. Duke Miller was definitely trying his best to defend Narant.
Narant must remember this favor.
As for Duke Miller's advice to him to flee immediately, Nalant really had no intention of escaping, at least escaping without trying to resist. This was not his style.
The messenger's eyes looked a little strange when he heard this. Before he came, he had always heard about how outstanding Nalant was and how brave he was on the battlefield.
When we meet now, we really see a different side.
It was a coalition of eight countries, with at least one hundred thousand extraordinary knights invading.
The population of Baron Nalant's territory will not exceed 40,000 at most, and this includes goblins.
How to fight against the invasion of the coalition forces? If it were other nobles, they would have chosen to flee long ago.
As for whether such a reputation is too unpleasant, in fact, the impact is not too great.
Because no principality in the entire alliance dares to pat its chest and guarantee that it dares to ignore the 100,000 coalition troops of the Bach Empire.
In this way, facing the coalition's attack, even if they escape, it will only be a very smart choice.
"Okay, Sir Messenger, I know what you are worried about. I have made up my mind. You just need to report it to Duke Miller truthfully.
Seeing the expression on the messenger's face, Narant waved his hand simply.
"Yes, Baron Narante."
In this way, the messenger said nothing more, and was quickly arranged by Narant to go to the guest room to rest, and he would not let the messenger leave after breakfast tomorrow.
After the messenger left, Nalant immediately summoned his subordinates to start an emergency meeting.
"Sir, this Bach Empire is so shameless. They were obviously at fault first, and now they have assembled a coalition to attack our Storm Territory!"
"Yes, that Prince Eric wanted to attack and kill you. He deserved to be killed by you. In fact, we should ask the Bach Empire for an explanation!"
When Narant informed all of his subordinates about the upcoming invasion of the Bach Empire.
The faces of all the subordinates immediately showed angry expressions, and their indignation showed the shamelessness of the Bach Empire.
Especially the girls, because their masters were attacked last time, they already have very deep prejudices against the Bach Empire.
Even the little girl Shirley bit off the dried meat in her hand and chewed it secretly, as if the dried meat was the Bach Empire.
"Well, it goes without saying that the Bach Empire is shameless. Your Excellency has called you here now to prepare for the arrival of the Bach Empire's coalition forces!"
Seeing the angry expressions of the women clenching their teeth, Nalant burst out laughing.
