"What?" In that town, Viscount Tours, in a not very gorgeous castle, looked incredulous after listening to his report.

　　 "You...you say it again..." He trembled, his hands tightly holding the armrest of the chair.

"Knight Wood, was captured by the enemy." Captain Thieu knelt on the ground and said with difficulty. He is now full of fear. Even the mighty Wood Knight was captured by the enemy, and he will fight in the next battle. Survived?

　　 Viscount Tours first collapsed on the seat, his face pale. After Knight Hodge went out to perform the mission and lost contact, Knight Wood was the last guarantee of his safety, but now...

"What to do? What to do?" Then he stood up tremblingly and walked up and down the hall, his face was full of anxiety. He has been worried since he lost contact with Knight Hodge, and he has been inquiring about Jason's territory recently. In the situation, worried that he will suddenly come to trouble himself.

　　 Although he thinks Knight Hodge will not betray him, there are accidents in everything. At this time, Jason is no longer an existence that he can shake.

It’s hard to imagine such a huge change in a territory that has only been in business for a few months. What makes him even more shocked is that his subordinates can defeat the masters of the Hodge Knights. It seems that the royal family still supports him. The power.

　　 He regrets his original decision very much now.

　　 "Quickly! Send someone to Dieling to inform Lord Walter and ask him to rescue me!" He thought of his backer, like a drowning man who caught the last straw.

　　Earl Walter Diai, one of the few great nobles in the north, with a total of 6,000 elite soldiers, is a huge stumbling block in Jason's plan to control the north.

"Yes!" Tieu nodded in a hurry, and then left in a hurry. At this time, only the noble lords in the big cities can save his own adults, but I don't know how much it will cost this time to invite this Walter. people.

"Hope...It's still too late..." Viscount Tours slumped in a chair, muttering to himself with dull eyes. There are still a few days to go from here to Dieling. I don't know if I can hold on to it. one day.

　　…………

　　 "The soldiers who reported the news have been released?" In the distance, Viscount Lyon saw his subordinates rushing towards him, and asked before he could speak.

　　 "Yes, my lord, there are ten people in all." The Longat Knight replied respectfully.

　　 "It seems that they are going according to our script." Viscount Lyon exhaled, the first step has been taken, I don't know if Master Jason can handle the next plan.

　　 "Where are they going?"

　　 "South."

　　 "South?"

　　 Viscount Lyon frowned and knocked on the armrest of the chair. The aristocrats in the south are all in the neutral camp. There shouldn't be anyone coming to assist Viscount Tours.

"Could it be Earl Water Diai?" Longat asked softly. Although these southern nobles are all neutral camps, this Earl Water Diai has been uneasy in recent years. Encroaching on the mineral veins of nearby little lords and plundering populations is not uncommon.

　　 "That should be him." The Viscount Lyon looked solemn, except for the garrison in those big cities, the great aristocracy like Earl Diai is the most difficult to deal with, he has both military power and resources in his hands.

　　 "Do you want to inform Lord Marquis of this news?" Longgart asked.

　　 "Well, I'll write a letter right away, and I must hand it over to Master Marquis." Viscount Lyon immediately turned to take the pen.

　　…………

　　 "The man behind him is indeed Earl Deai." Jason looked at the secret letter just delivered to him, and was surprised.

　　 This Earl Diai has been jumping very well in recent years, but no one from the upper ranks of the kingdom came to criticize him. It can be seen that the power behind him is not small in the kingdom.

　　 "Master Lancelot is as expected." Ronald said next to him. Long ago, Lancelot analyzed that the backing of Viscount Tours was Earl Deais.

　　 "Now they have to suffer a big loss."

　　 Jason smiled sinister, he was full of confidence in Lancelot.

　　…………

　　 Two days later, Viscount Lyon brought his army to the outside of the town, forcing Viscount Tours to negotiate.

　　 "Viscount Lyon, are you doing it too much?" The Viscount Tours, standing on the fence, wore a noble armor, and shouted at the Viscount Lyon outside with an ugly expression.

　　 "Are you there?" Viscount Lyon spread his hands, saying that he was innocent: "I don't think the previous behavior was very bad."

　　 Find a trivial war with hair. This is a routine that nobles like to play. I just changed this routine after listening to Jason's words. Can't it be called the next game?

　　 "What do you want?" Viscount Tours was speechless for a while, and Viscount Lyon's attitude was obvious. I just saw you not pleasing to your eyes, I just came to bully you, what can you do?

　　 Viscount Lyon laughed without saying a word, but a loud voice reached Viscount Tours' ears.

"all!"

　　 Then came out from behind the army formation a knight riding a war horse, it was Gareth.

　　 "Your host didn't speak, you will interrupt in which round!" Viscount Tours pointed at him angrily and said that he felt that he had been greatly insulted.

"Population, money, mineral veins, defenders... We will all take over, and you..." Gareth ignored him, but said to himself. At the end he raised his head and looked at Viscount Tours: "Just Stay here for retirement."

　　 "……"

　　 This is the rhythm of annexing one's own territory! Viscount Tours shuddered with a chill straight into his forehead.

　　 "Impossible!" Viscount Tours replied in a deep voice: "I will go to the Kingdom Council to sue you and sue you for embezzling my territory and property!"

"Huh, Viscount Tours instructed the Knights of Hodge to rob the civilians of the Ironfang collar, with the intention of attacking and killing the second prince of the kingdom~lightnovelpub.net~Marquis Jason Lopez. The evidence is conclusive, and the crime is inexcusable. No pardon!"

　　 Gareth snorted when he heard the words, instead of arguing with him, but beckoned. Immediately behind him, his subordinates pushed out a five-flower-tied man, and he took a closer look at the former Hodge Knight under Viscount Tours.

　　 Even though the Knight Hodge was still neat and tidy at this time, he was languid. He raised his head and glanced at Viscount Tours in the distance and moved his lips, but said nothing. He lowered his head deeply again.

　　 "Viscount Tours, do you recognize him?" Gareth? Dangerous light gleamed in his eyes.

Viscount Tours had a pale face. When Gareth uttered that big sentence and pushed the Knights Hodge out, he knew he was absolutely dead. Even if he could sustain the attack, he would definitely be in the future. Someone would use this to attack him. Assaulting the prince is a big crime.

　　 As for why the Viscount Lyon and the others were brought in, it was nothing more than to find a reason for them to intervene in Jason's plan.

　　 "If you can tell your behind-the-scenes instructions, maybe I can save your life." Gareth smiled cruelly, wanting to survive? Yes, but it can only be a puppet who has been imprisoned for life.

　　 "I don't know him!" Viscount Tours said through gritted teeth, his eyes full of anger when he looked at Knight Hodge, this guy actually betrayed me!

　　 "Really?" Gareth sneered, not crying without seeing the coffin.

　　 "Either surrender, or I personally break through your gate, choose your own choice." Gareth's body rose with flames, clenching the spear in his hand and said solemnly.

　　 "Archer, let go!" Viscount Tours answered Gareth's own choice with action.

　　 "The knight protects the Viscount Lyon to retreat, and the remaining soldiers will follow me!"
