Chapter 970, Capture the City!!!

"The crisis of this border orc invasion."

"It's entirely the royal family's fault."

"If it weren't for the greed of the royal family, nothing would have happened to the governor of Tire City."

"The orcs will not invade at all."

Under the night, Fang Yuan was on the way with the swamp nobles.

Take advantage of the break.

Sir Sam said angrily.

"Oh, I haven't heard any relevant information."

Fang Yuan asked curiously.

"Of course, these can only be known after you obtain the title of Baron."

"I am the only baron in the swamp."

"It was still a secret before, but now I'm afraid that Tire City can't be saved."

"This news is no secret at all."

After a pause, Sir Sam continued.

"The Kingdom of Alpha is surrounded by many countries that believe in gods."

"Especially in the past ten years, the surrounding national temples have acquired considerable armed forces."

"Continuous invasion of the Alpha Kingdom."

"About half a year ago."

"The rising Harvest Church invaded the southeastern province."

"Several bishop-level powerful men united with three hundred direct knights to start an internal rebellion."

"Thousands of nobles, large and small, died in the southeastern province."

"Even the Duke died."

"The nobles of the southeastern provinces united to fight back and cooperated with the royal family to strangle the invading Church of the Harvest."

Hearing this, Fang Yuan was also quite surprised.

Unexpectedly, the Harvest Church is the weakest in the Old World.

To be so strong in the secret realm.

"In addition to the Harvest Church, do evil gods from other countries also launch attacks like this?"

Sam shook his head.

"Not really."

"Basically once a year."

"But Harvest Church is almost monthly, even daily."

"Whether they are big or small, Harvest Church believers are extremely crazy in launching attacks."

"But this time in the Southeast Province, it is rumored that the Harvest Church took out a divine weapon, which caused such a big rebellion."

Fang Yuan frowned slightly.

"Artifact?"

"Who has seen it?"

Sam shrugged.

"no one."

"But none of that matters."

"Listen to me."

Sir Sam continued.

"The rebellion of the Harvest Church certainly caused heavy damage to the Southeast Province."

"But the nobles who died in the battle also vacated a lot of territory."

"After the war, both the royal family and the nobles wanted to take these territories as their own."

"after all!"

"The territories in the Southeast Province are notoriously wealthy."

"Even if it is the worst barony, its commercial tax and food output can be several times that of the border territory."

"It's also safe. The southeastern province is located inland."

"If it weren't for the invasion of the Harvest Church, there would be no danger at all."

"Of course, it was also for this reason that they were lax in their armaments, and that's why they seized the opportunity and killed them ruthlessly."

"But no matter what, the territory of the Southeast Province is a rare wealthy place in the Alpha Kingdom."

"After the war, over these unclaimed lands, various overt and covert battles began between the local nobles in the southeastern provinces and the nobles directly under the royal family."

"At this time, local nobles tend to unite and resist outsiders."

"And the royal family has entrusted a large number of honorary nobles, and they all exist dependent on the royal family."

"Once you get a fief, you will be die-hard loyal to the royal family."

"The royal family wants to give the territory to its honorary nobles, and members of its own royal family will occupy the majority."

"The local nobles want to digest the territory internally."

"After three full months of negotiations."

"It's always difficult for the royal family to gain the upper hand."

"Just when the two sides reached a stalemate."

"Suddenly, the royal family used a move."

"Lead the border nobles southward."

"It is proposed to hand over part of the territory to the border nobles as a reward for their merits."

"As soon as the news came out, the entire border was in a state of excitement."

"And the nobles of the Southeast Province did not expect that the royal family would make such a move."

"If the border nobles go south, they have no reason to refuse."

"Once you object, you will be morally condemned."

"This is not in keeping with the noble virtues."

"But the southeastern nobles did not give up."

"They asked the border nobles to send the governor south to negotiate."

"Divide the territory."

"For this time."

"His Excellency the Governor of Tire City personally set out with a large number of nobles."

“But just when it’s time to go south.”

"An accident happened after entering the royal family's territory."

"Assassinated."

"His Excellency the Governor is dead."

"Only one of the accompanying knights ran out."

"And this knight escaped back to Tire City and brought out the news that the royal family was responsible."

In an instant, the nobles of Tire City became angry.

A council of border nobles was then convened.

The governor's eldest son was elected to inherit the title and headed south with the border legions.

Ask the royal family for justice.

And it was at this time.

Orc invasion of Rayman City.

Surrounded the city of Tire.

otherwise!

With the defense of Tire City, there would not be such a disastrous defeat.

Just those castles in the pioneering territory built outside the city of Tire.

It was enough to cause heavy casualties to the orc army.

When it comes to this.

Sam sighed heavily.

"Do you believe the governor was killed by the royal family?"

Fang Yuan asked.

"Do not believe."

"Absolutely unnecessary."

"Even at that time, Tire City suddenly gathered its legions and headed south, which I found very strange."

"But as a baron, I have no right to speak."

"I guess there is either a problem within the royal family or a problem within the city of Tire."

"Either there is something wrong with both."

He said and shrugged again.

"But that has nothing to do with us."

"The orcs have made it clear that they want to eat the city of Tire."

"In case support cannot arrive in time."

"The city of Tire will be destroyed in five or six days at most."

"The orcs will then take over the Red River Valley and the swamp."

"The final siege of the Rainbow Land."

"Clear all the border territories opened by the Alpha Kingdom."

"And us!"

Sam turned and looked behind him.

"We had a lucky escape, but we have to get out of the border."

"Return to the Alpha Kingdom and continue to be a merchant, wandering knight, and mercenary!"

"hehe."

"Nobility, territory."

"Decades of struggle are all in vain in the end!"

After speaking, Sam patted Fang Yuan on the shoulder.

"After returning this time, you will follow my family."

"Let's retreat south together."

"I will marry my daughter to you."

"If there is a chance to return to the border in the future."

"My family will fully support you with all its wealth."

After seeing the alchemy equipment, Sam confirmed that Fang Yuan failed this time.

It will definitely come back in the future.

Win over this potential stock.

There may be hope for their Sam family.

And after Fang Yuan heard the promise from the fat man in front of him.

The corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

After pondering for a moment, he raised his head and said.

"If, I say if there is a chance."

"It can turn Tell City from defeat into victory."

"Will you do it!"

After listening to Fang Yuan's words, he looked at his extremely serious expression.

Sam asked in disbelief.

"You have?"

Fang Yuan did not answer, just waiting for the other party to give an answer.

Sam pondered a little and raised his head.

"My great-grandfather was once a businessman in the Southeast Province."

"I have been in business for decades and accumulated a lot of wealth, but in one night."

"The nobles rushed in with soldiers and took away all the wealth."

"He told my grandpa."

"No matter what, become a noble."

"My grandfather has been a knight's squire since he was young."

"It took forty years to become a knight who awakened the magic crystal."

"When I was fifty years old, I took my family, a total of thirty people, to the border to develop territory."

"In my memory, we dug dirt in fetid swamps to build our territory."

"For the sake of food, we plant carefully, and we have to stand by the farmland every night to guard against attacks by fishmen."

"My grandfather died under the poisonous arrows of a fishman in the third year after he came to the Border Territory."

"My uncle and uncle were hanged in the jungle for resisting the fish-men."

"I waited until my father defeated the fish-men and then welcomed the frog-men."

"During a frogman invasion, he was poisoned by the frogman's venom."

"The face was completely corroded, and he wailed for three days and three nights before he died."

"And when Sam led the inheritance to me, I already lost three brothers and six cousins."

"Three generations of hard work, and two full generations of people dying in battle, have led to the current Sam Territory."

When he said this, Sam's voice began to tremble.

He looked into Fang Yuan's eyes.

"Do you know about the Greatsword Infantry?"

"They are none other than my tribe."

"From its establishment to the present, the number of people killed by the Great Sword Infantry has exceeded one thousand."

"These are a thousand of my blood relatives."

"Their sacrifices have allowed the Sam Territory to exist to this day."

"But if there is a chance."

“There’s absolutely no way I’m going to give up Sam’s collar!!!”

After saying that, he suddenly knelt down in front of Fang Yuan.

"Efron, I checked your origins."

"It's mysterious."

"I don't know what kind of power you have."

"I don't care about the purpose of the forces behind you either."

"But if you can keep the Sam leader alive."

"It's Sam!"

"No, the entire Sam family is willing to become your vassal!"

"Fight for you, for the Efron family!"

"This is a blood oath!"

Sam said the last words.

Christian next to him was a little moved.

It is different from the blood oaths of later generations.

In an era of chaotic rules, the promises originating from blood are recognized by the law.

The blood oath of this era represented the promise of nobility.

Once issued, it will be protected by rules.

If the blood oath is broken in the future.

The whole family will suffer a huge disaster.

In later generations, it was reshaped by the power of law.

The so-called blood oath no longer has any binding force.

Basically just post it casually.

Fang Yuan noticed the look on Christian's face next to him.

A thought came to my mind.

You have already guessed how solemn the words Sam just said were.

"It seems I can trust you."

Fang Yuan said calmly.

Sam's face lit up.

"So Efron."

"What's your plan?"

At this point, Fang Yuan could no longer hide it.

Going further, you can see the orcs' pioneer territory that was slaughtered by Aria.

When these swamp nobles see it, they will naturally have doubts.

It's better to win over Sam now.

With his help, the swamp nobles will be tied to their chariots wholeheartedly.

"Sam."

"I know a way."

"It can go directly to the city of Lehman!"

Hearing Fang Yuan's news.

Sam was stunned at first, and then showed a look of disappointment.

"Efron."

"The road to Lehman City is not a secret."

"I also know that if you go northeast from here, you only need to pass through six pioneer territories."

"You can reach Lehman City."

"I have launched attacks from this direction more than once with the Border Pioneer Corps."

"But each time I returned empty-handed."

"To protect the safety of Lehman City."

"There are no less than a thousand corps stationed in these pioneer territories."

"Once attacked, support can be provided from all directions."

"Within half a day, there will be tens of thousands of troops and six difficult-to-conquer fortresses in front of us."

"And with so few of us!"

"Want to break through these heavy defenses."

"Do you think it's possible?"

Sam became more and more disappointed as he spoke.

He didn't expect that Efron would actually tell this news.

He shouldn't have believed him at all.

And just when Sam was annoyed.

Fang Yuan's voice sounded again.

"What if the defenders of these pioneer territories are all dead?"

This made Sam's face freeze.

And then he looked at Fang Yuan in disbelief.

"Dead?"

Fang Yuan nodded.

"You~"

He wanted to ask, but soon chose to shut up.

"Are they really all dead?"

Sam asked again.

"Dead."

Got an accurate answer.

Sam stood up suddenly.

"Efron."

"You can't lie to me!"

"Of course not."

Baron Sam immediately paced back and forth, muttering.

"If they are dead."

"Then the road to Lehman City will be completely opened."

"Now the Carlo family must have gathered all their strength to attack the city of Tyre."

"If I can have a 3,000-strong siege army at this time."

"Then take down Lehman City!"

"Maybe it's possible."

"Even if it can't be taken."

"It can also force the Carlo family to come back for help."

"As long as it succeeds, the city of Tyre will be saved, and the territory of the Sam family will also be saved."

"No, it's not saved, but the Sam family will become a wealthy family on the border."

"Even the king will meet me."

Thinking of a bright future.

Sam stopped suddenly, his face suddenly changed.

He showed a look of pain.

"But Efron."

"We don't have 3,000 soldiers, only a few thousand peasant soldiers."

"Lehman City must still have defenders."

"Even if the army of Lehman City leaves, our forces are not enough to conquer Lehman City."

A one-in-a-million opportunity was in front of him, but he couldn't grasp it because of the small number of soldiers.

Sam fell into endless pain.

And just when Fang Yuan was about to speak.

Sam turned around again.

"Wait, we can ask Rainbow Valley for help."

"Efron, although this will divide some merits."

"But~"

Fang Yuan raised his hand to stop the other party from speaking.

"The army of Rainbow Valley should have been ambushed by the orcs."

"We escaped in the chaos."

"But they can't escape."

"If we go back now, we will die."

Sam fell into extreme pain again.

"No!"

"Ancestor, why do you punish me like this?"

But soon, Fang Yuan's words made him quickly enter a state of surprise.

"Sam."

"All six pioneer territories are gone."

"Do you think the guards of Lehman City are still a problem?"

At this moment, he suddenly woke up from a dream.

"Yes, yes."

"Efron, you are right."

He rolled his eyes immediately.

"Such generous conditions."

"Then Efron."

"What does the power behind you want?"

Fang Yuan smiled faintly.

"Magic crystals."

"All magic crystals."

"And supplies!"

"I will take 70% of the looted supplies."

"The remaining 30%, you and other nobles will share."

"But there is a condition."

"After entering Lehman City."

"No one can be left alive!"

Hearing this, Sam grinned.

"Of course!"

"Don't worry."

"I know what to do."

Hearing that all magic crystals were needed, Sam guessed that it was the alchemists who were helping behind.

And ordinary alchemists cannot participate in the wars in the mortal world.

Once they are discovered, they will be hunted down.

But many times, wild alchemists don't care about these.

Sam deduced that this was what the wild alchemist behind Efron wanted.

If it weren't for the orc invasion war, Sam would never have participated in it.

But for the sake of the family territory, he had no choice but to take the risk.

Fang Yuan quickly reached an agreement with Sam.

Sam was to persuade the swamp nobles.

Those who could come to the border to open up were adventurers and desperate people.

They had already put their heads on their waists.

Hearing that there was such a good opportunity.

None of the remaining swamp nobles objected.

After everyone reached a consensus.

The team's marching speed suddenly became faster.

Passing the slaughtered orcs' pioneer territory.

All the swamp nobles were terrified, but more eager and greedy.

Eager to capture Lehman City.

Greedy to plunder Lehman City.

That was!

The foundation of the Carlo family for hundreds of years.

And just as the swamp nobles rushed to Lehman City.

At this moment.

Outside Lehman City.

Aria looked at the gate of Lehman City.

There.

The violent tiger warriors led by Brenni were seizing the gate.

A moment later.

A flag was erected at the gate of the city.

This was the news of success conveyed by Brenni.

Aria suddenly drew out the long sword from his waist.

"The Knights!"

"Here!"

Behind him, the Guardian Knights and the Dwarf Chariot Corps came out.

"Capture the city!!!"

"Kill!!!" (End of this chapter)
