Chapter 973, Discovery in the Swamp, Alchemy Hut!

The orcs' attack on the city of Tire has put the city in danger.

But at a critical moment.

The orcs of the Carlo family withdrew their troops.

And then, the Knights of the Silver Hand of the Alpha Kingdom appeared.

Entered the city of Tire.

This sudden incident also weakened the achievements of the swamp nobles.

At first, everyone thought it was the arrival of the Knights of the Silver Hand that caused the orcs to retreat.

But not long after, news came out that Lehman City had been breached.

It was the nobles of the swamp who broke the city.

When the news came out, it wasn't just the border nobles.

The entire Alpha Kingdom was stunned.

They initially thought it was fake news.

Later, spies were sent to find out that it was true.

That's when.

It was only then that the merits of the Marsh Nobles were recognized.

Before that.

Baron Sam went to Tire City and had not seen the governor yet.

He was sent to prison for deserting.

Letters depriving nobles of their fiefdoms have been sent to the royal capital.

Then he was taken out of the prison and met by the governor of Tire City.

After three hours of secret conversation.

Sam's title was raised to Viscount, and he also won three baronies for his three heirs.

The price was the raid on Lehman City, which was personally directed by His Excellency the Governor.

The Knights of the Silver Hand also joined the war.

The nobles of the swamp are still heroes and heroes.

But not the biggest one.

The fame of the Marshland nobles spread throughout the kingdom.

But he was also ranked behind the Governor of Tire City and the Commander of the Knights of the Silver Hand.

In bard poetry, they are just a bunch of lucky soldiers.

to this result.

The Marshland nobles were satisfied.

Compared with the false reputation that spreads, they are more willing to obtain affordable territory and treasure.

The governor of Tire City promised.

All Marshland nobles who participated in the Leman City War.

All titles are promoted to baron, and you can choose a barony in the Red River Valley and the Tire Plains.

If willing to leave the border.

The kingdom also promised to give a knight's territory and three thousand gold coins as compensation in the southeastern province.

This move successfully divided all the nobles in the swamp.

Basically 99% of the swamp nobles chose to go to the southeastern province.

Became a knight vassal of the kingdom.

Only a very small number of nobles chose to stay on the border.

This includes Fang Yuan and Sam.

This time in the new enfeoffment of territory, the nobles they left behind had absolute priority.

You may not be able to pick the best site.

But you can choose the next level at will.

Even the royal family gave them several pieces of land outside Rainbow Valley to choose from.

I have to say that the nobles in this secret era treat those who are obedient.

Is really willing to give benefits.

This may be a rule unique to this era.

Fang Yuan heard Sam's inquiry.

His eyes fell on the swamp collar.

When Sam saw this, he suddenly became anxious.

"Efron."

"The swamp territory is remote and has no use value."

"It's not worth going back."

Fang Yuan smiled lightly after hearing this.

"certainly!"

"But Sam."

"You have decided to go to the Red River Valley."

"So, is your family's territory in the swamp territory going to be abandoned?"

Sam nodded.

"Other pioneering nobles may come later."

"But that's not our concern anymore."

Fang Yuan pondered a little.

"Give me."

"I want your territory in the swamp territory."

"The site I picked is right here."

See the place Fang Yuan chose.

Sam frowned.

Although not swampland.

But it was stuck at the entrance to the swamp collar.

There is a small plain here where food can be grown.

There are also a lot of forest resources and a small iron mine.

Before this achievement was made.

The biggest wish of the Sam family is to own this territory.

But now they no longer look down on this.

In the territory of the Red River Valley.

The Sam family not only has contiguous fertile farmland, but also rich coal and iron ore.

At the same time, we are still on the inevitable trade route.

Every month just for business tax, you can collect two thousand gold coins.

If it weren't for the miraculous achievements of the Sam family.

This kind of territory can only be owned by the earl family.

How could it be his turn?

Sam's original plan was to let Fang Yuan become his neighbor.

From now on, the two families will intermarry.

Merge two rich territories to build capital for future generations to advance to count.

But he didn't expect that Fang Yuan didn't follow his plan at all.

"Efron."

"We can have better options."

"These places can be left to those who live in ruins."

Fang Yuan shook his head.

He naturally has his own reasons for choosing this way.

The legions around him have reached six thousand.

There are too many forces that cannot be exposed.

Swamp collar is the best place to cover yourself.

While it is located in a remote area, the territory it controls is also located on a major transportation thoroughfare.

To the northwest you can go to the Rainbow Territory, and to the northeast you can enter the Tyre Plains.

Turning to the north, you can enter the orc territory again.

Now the orcs have spread the news that they will send 500,000 troops to start a war.

It is not easy to attract attention in this place.

This land can be used to profit from the war.

Fang Yuan has not forgotten.

What is the purpose of coming here.

Not to play house with the nobles in the secret realm.

But to kill gods!

And more than one.

Now the war is about to start.

The heroes around him have said it more than once.

Seize the opportunity this time.

If you can break into the grassland and find the temple.

Maybe you can kill the beast god.

Fang Yuan also has this idea.

Quick battle and quick decision.

It is impossible for him to stay in this secret realm for ten years.

There are more important things to accomplish in the old continent.

Sam saw that Fang Yuan had no chance of giving in.

Suddenly thought of the alchemist behind him.

"Is it because of him!"

It is not impossible to think about it.

Maybe the other party took a fancy to the Swamp Territory, so he let Efron stay.

Realizing this, Sam did not persuade him anymore.

Just said.

"Efron, even if we are separated, our friendship is still there."

"You can't forget me."

Hearing Sam's somewhat cheesy words, Fang Yuan smiled.

Knowing what he wanted to say.

"As long as there is magic crystal."

"Everything is negotiable."

The two smiled at each other.

Soon the opportunity to choose the territory came.

Fang Yuan successfully got the territory of the Red Mill that controlled the entrance to the swamp.

The original lord here, the whole family was destroyed in the war of orc invasion.

All were killed without a single one left.

The origin of the Red Mill actually originated from this.

The nobles who settled here.

Often in the wars of orc invasion, they would be beaten and exterminated.

This is the price of being located in the traffic.

Fortunately, Fang Yuan has no family.

Not afraid of these.

In the future, the Red Mill will grind the blood of the enemy.

After getting the document of the granted territory.

Sam stopped Fang Yuan and took him to a side yard.

Here, he met the governor of Tyre City.

"Your Excellency the Governor."

"Efron is too young, he still wants to protect the border for the country."

"That's why he chose the Moulin Rouge."

"But we can't let these loyal knights down."

"Look, the swamp nobles have all left."

"Why not give the entire swamp to Efron and let him manage it on your behalf."

The entire swamp is very large.

In the Alpha Kingdom, only the Duke can own such a large territory.

Even the governor of Tyre City was shocked by Sam's words.

"Sam, do you know what you are talking about?"

"Even if I am willing, the kingdom will not agree."

Sam chuckled.

"This is 10,000 gold coins."

"I hope your Excellency can help us."

"The swamp land was originally given to those poor people, just don't let them in."

Seeing the gold notes that can be redeemed nationwide in front of him.

The governor of Tyre City swallowed his saliva.

He knew that the swamp nobles made a fortune in Lehman City.

But he didn't expect them to be so rich.

Ten thousand gold coins, just give it as you say.

"You're not without reason."

"It's just~"

When he said this, Sam took back the gold note.

"Then it's not difficult~"

The governor hurriedly stopped him.

He snatched the gold note.

"It's not difficult, how could it be difficult."

"Efron."

"In two days, you will receive the document for the custody of the swamp."

"You will be the real governor of the swamp in the future."

Hehe.

After the nobles left, only frogmen were left in the swamp.

And without the nobles to regularly eliminate frogmen.

The swamp will be occupied by these creatures that reproduce very quickly.

At that time, the danger will overflow.

The governor of Tyr City will have a reason to take back the management rights.

This is why he is willing to help.

It's equivalent to getting ten thousand gold coins for free.

Why not.

After finishing this matter.

Fang Yuan and Sam left Tyr City.

This city guarding the plains is still crowded with people.

A large number of wandering knights came here, seeking a new territory.

Especially after expanding the territory for thousands of miles.

Many second sons of nobles in the Alpha Kingdom appeared here with their family's private soldiers.

They will form the strongest shield of the kingdom on the border.

As for the invasion of the 500,000 orcs.

This is nothing to the Alpha Kingdom.

It is not that the million-man decisive battle has never happened before.

War is nothing unusual for the humans in this secret realm.

But they don't know.

Behind this war, there is also the promotion of the gods.

After getting the land document.

Fang Yuan said goodbye to Sam.

He took Christian back to the Swamp Territory.

When entering the Red Mill.

A cavalry team soon appeared beside him.

This is the Holy Light Knight who had just awakened.

The strongest knight force under Fang Yuan.

It is also Christian's direct line.

The number of awakened is not many, only 900.

But the strength of each one is a high-level professional.

It is also the strongest combat force under Fang Yuan now.

The castle of the Moulin Rouge has been destroyed.

This stone castle, seemingly solid, was built in the wrong location.

It has fatal flaws.

After Fang Yuan decided to make this place a temporary territory,

he sent Aria to re-select the location for building the city.

When he returned to the territory,

Aria found Fang Yuan.

"Lord."

"I suggest building the city here."

Fang Yuan took a look.

"On the main road?"

Aria nodded.

"Yes, after building a castle here."

"Then rebuild another one at the original place."

"Then build a bridge across the river between the two castles."

"In this way, if the enemy wants to attack, they must withstand the counterattack of the defense forces of the two castles."

"Good suggestion."

"Take the forest giant to do it."

"Yes!"

After dealing with this matter, Fang Yuan summoned Brainy.

"How is the infiltration plan?"

Among the soldiers who woke up later,

Fang Yuan chose to wake up a lot of orc legions.

There are fox mages, rabbit archers, tauren warriors, etc.

Then he had an idea.

Use these orcs to infiltrate the Orc Kingdom.

Find the location of the temple of the God of Beasts.

Brennie had previously successfully infiltrated the city of Lehman with three hundred tiger-men violent warriors.

Fang Yuan gave him this task.

"Your Excellency, Lord."

"The news that has been sent back so far."

"Some foxmen have successfully infiltrated a caravan in the capital."

"The rest of the orcs have not made any further progress for the time being."

"And according to the news sent back by the foxmen."

"The temple of the God of Beasts has not been found in the Orc Kingdom."

"They found that no one in the capital of the Orc Kingdom believes in God."

"They only believe in their ancestors."

"After much inquiry, the orcs' belief in gods is mainly in the poor nomadic areas."

"Now I have sent tauren warriors to join the mercenary group and go there to investigate."

"I believe there will be new news soon."

"In addition, there is another piece of intelligence from there, which may be of interest to your Excellency, Lord."

Fang Yuan asked immediately after hearing it.

"Is it related to the orcs' invasion of the south?"

Brennie nodded.

"This time, the 500,000-man army is still gathering."

"But it is rumored that the grassland will send a legion of 80,000 to join."

"But the command is independent and can disobey the king."

After hearing this news.

Fang Yuan realized it keenly.

This is probably because the Beast God has noticed something.

"The sense of smell is really sharp."

"The Beast God should be suspicious of the actions of Leiman City this time."

Brainy nodded.

"I guess so."

"How could the Swamp Nobles take over Leiman City with such strength."

"But they probably haven't got any substantial evidence yet."

"Therefore, the purpose of this war will not be to fight."

"But to find the trace of the Lord."

Fang Yuan stood up and paced for a while and said.

"If we want to hide, can we hide?"

Brainy replied decisively.

"Definitely."

"Just put the main force in the swamp, and then hire some ordinary legions."

"But Lord."

"We already have more than 6,000 troops."

"And these awakened heroes."

"I think we should act when it's time."

"Kill the Beast God and weaken the enemy's power."

"Thus strengthen ourselves."

"Furthermore, the border nobles of the Alpha Kingdom are also a huge force."

"Perhaps we can still use them to accomplish it in the war."

"It just needs to be planned well."

After listening, Fang Yuan nodded after a slight hesitation.

Then he raised his head and looked at Brainy.

"You said that the Alpha border nobles can be our helpers."

"Then!"

"Is there a possibility that the nobles of the Orc Kingdom can also be our helpers?"

Fang Yuan's words made Brainy very confused.

"Sir, how can this be done?"

Fang Yuan's mind turned very quickly, and he said quickly.

"In the Orc Kingdom, the struggle between royal power and divine power is very fierce."

"According to the intelligence you have previously scouted."

"The nobles of the Orc Kingdom have invaded the grassland more than once, but they were defeated later."

"If!"

"We won this border conflict."

"And severely damaged the Orc nobles."

"And the power of the Beast God is intact."

"Do you think the nobles of the Orc Kingdom will be terrified of the Alpha Kingdom, or will they be afraid of the Beast God on the grassland first?"

Brainy's eyes lit up when he heard it.

"Lord, are you going to kill someone with a borrowed knife?"

Fang Yuan nodded.

"This matter still requires you to enter the territory of the Orc Kingdom to cooperate."

"You will lie in ambush first, and then send Qingfeng to inform you if there is a specific plan later."

"Yes, sir."

Not long after Brainy left.

A griffin knight fell from the sky.

Then he hurried to Fang Yuan.

"Report."

"Lord, the latest victory."

"All the frogmen in the swamp have been wiped out."

"And just now!"

"We found an alchemy hut in the swamp!" (End of this chapter)
