James is only a middle-aged person, and he has some incompetence in the position of the marquis, but he is not a real fool. After these days, when the Northland Marquis has been established, there are always some cronies around him.

Like the guards of the Hou Mansion, most of them were replaced by people he trusted. Three knights, a dozen quasi-knights, and two hundred elite soldiers were the weapons that could be used in the Hou Mansion at this time.

In addition, as a well-deserved prince of the North, James still has a certain appeal, and the real master has still recruited one.

At this time, James happened to also put on his equipment, and pressed his sword with one hand to the outer wall of the Hou residence.

Although the Lance family's Hou Mansion has not been built into a castle, as a military nobleman, the mansion still has some military functions. The outer wall is four meters high and nearly two meters thick, which can accommodate two or three people on the wall at the same time. Action, because the elders moved too much, the conscientious guards have closed the gate of the Hou Mansion, and Phi Jian Zhirui stood on the high wall.

"Elder Igor, didn't you use the inner responders in the Hou's mansion to prevent the gate of the Hou's mansion from closing? How did it become like this?"

The strength of the elders is still good. To be the elders of the Lanster family, the threshold is also the rank of knights. Even if it was just an honorary title in the past, it is impossible for any cat or dog to be a threshold. The five elders were five knight-level masters, and together with their respective subordinates, seven or eight hundred soldiers surrounded the Hou Mansion so struttingly that the guards in the city didn't even respond at all.

"You think James is really stupid! He can't fight us in other places. The Hou Mansion has been strictly controlled by him for a long time, and those few internal officers have no chance to touch the door at all."

"Okay, needless to say, there are so many of us today, no matter what, we have to take the Hou Mansion first."

"Let's talk to James first, everyone is from the Lanster family, and persuade him to recognize the form and stop consuming this power."

"You five old people! Do you want to rebel!"

The elder who just said he wanted to talk to James suddenly turned green, but it's not because he is not thick-skinned? Is it because James is too arrogant? In front of so many people, I don't give them any face at all. An old man stays. Even the previous Lint wouldn't be so arrogant? Of course, when Lint was there, the knife he gave in face was also stabbed hard? They were afraid of Lint, it was different.

James' voice at this moment? It's like an adult walking on the street and suddenly being provoked by a half-sized boy, he can't hold his face.

However? Although James was rude? But the elders still tried to persuade them again. After all, they are all a family, and they are not willing to fight if they don't fight. They will lose in the fight? In the end, it is not their own fault.

"Master James? The Hunter family's army is already on the way. We have negotiated with Master Lint, hand over Snow City, keep all the property and part of the land, and the title of Marquis of the North will also be preserved? In the future, we will Lance. The special family just lives like the Marquis of Varaya in the south, with the same wealth and wealth? Don't continue to resist."

"Master James? Hahaha, so you old people are here to persuade me to surrender? Even Lord Marquis doesn't shout, what? After I surrender, who will inherit the position of this Marquis? Or wait for your Lint Young master coming back to inherit?"

The elder's propaganda was actually taken care of? Is the title of the Marquis of Beidi reserved? But how could Richard agree to let James continue to occupy the title? I haven't even talked about whether he can survive him, elder. They deliberately blurred this issue and wanted to coax James to cooperate first. Unexpectedly, James, who usually seemed stupid to them like a pig, caught the point right away.

"Cough, James, stop resisting, we are all in and out of the city, you open the door and come out, at least your safety will be guaranteed."

After the minds of the elders were broken, they did not deny it, and no one was a fool. Since it has been said to this extent, it is better to spread the word.

"The 80,000-strong army of Snow City, and the Hunter family are still on the way, you want me to surrender? Do you have the surname Lanster?"

"In addition to the 100,000 army, the Hunter family also has four giant dragons. It is precisely because we want the surname Lanster to continue to exist that we have to offer Snow City, James, stop being obsessed!"

When the elders talked about the four dragons of the Hunter family, James' expression was obvious. He was a little arrogant, but not arrogant enough to think that he could fight the four dragons. What the elders said They were all objective facts, and he was completely unable to refute them.

With this disparity in strength, did James really think about surrendering? In fact, even a normal person would have considered this issue to some extent. After all, the opponent is the Hunter family, who are also human, not ogres or orcs. Everyone has the same family and origin, and can even be regarded as the same place. There is no such thing as surrender. Too much pressure in the heart, this is different from the national war and racial war. Besides, there is also a direct descendant surnamed Lanster who is an important subordinate of the other party. If you surrender in the past, your power may be lost, but your life and property should be guaranteed. of.

But in the entire Snow City, all Lansters can surrender, but he, James, does not dare to surrender. First of all, in terms of justice, his position in this force is the king, and the risk of surrender is already higher than others. not enough. The key point is that he had colluded with the church to assassinate Richard, but that was not clean, and he was probably aware of it long ago, and he was afraid of being punished.

"James, stop being obsessive! Surrender to the Hunters for the Lansters."

"Lanster doesn't have cowards like you!"

"James, are you still waiting for reinforcements from the barracks? Do you think the Third and Fourth Corps are yours? You even released the wind bird? You can't even call for a single reinforcement today!"

"Don't talk nonsense with him! Go straight to the attack, don't delay the time!"

Although the army of Piaoxuecheng has not moved for the time being, it does not mean that they are all from the elders' side. It is just that several forces are intertwined with each other for a temporary balance, or they simply choose to ride the wall. James is in the army. Not without supporters. In order to avoid accidents, it is better to take advantage of the military advantage at this moment to win the Hou Mansion first.

"Elder Ruid'an, it's over to you!"

"Um!"

Although the army is made up of various families~lightnovelpub.net~, these veterans are also from the military. Naturally, they know that it is a taboo to have different military orders during combat. After the battle, the command is concentrated in one person.

"Team One, Team Two! Come on!"

"kill!"

The walls of the Hou Mansion are not high, and the gate is not as thick as the city gate. It doesn't need too many fancy siege equipment, and a few ladders and battering rams are enough to launch an attack.

"Fire arrows!"

After the army on the elders' side was attacked, the guards of the Hou Mansion were not to be outdone. Most of the soldiers in this group were James' men who had already followed James before he inherited the title. It's even more so. On weekdays, all kinds of resources are obtained. They have been fed for a long time, and they still have a certain loyalty to James.

To let them face the giant dragon, they may be cowardly, but they are still working very hard just to fight with the elders...
