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 royal family's greed, the governor of Tyre would have been fine."
"The orcs won't invade at all."
Under the cover of night, Fang Yuan was on his way to transfer with the swamp nobles.
Taking advantage of the break.
Sir Sam said indignantly.
"Oh, I haven't heard of any relevant information."
Fang Yuan asked with some curiosity.
"Of course, you can only know these after you get the title of baron."
"I am the only baron in the swamp."
"It was a secret before, but now I'm afraid that the city of Tyre can no longer be saved."
"This news is not a secret at all."
After a pause, Sir Sam continued.
"The Alpha Kingdom is surrounded by many nations that believe in gods."
"Especially in the past ten years, the surrounding national temples have possessed strong armed forces."
"Continuous invasions of the Alpha Kingdom."
"About half a year ago."
"In the southeastern province, the rising Harvest Church is invading."
"Several bishop-level warriors, together with three hundred knights directly under them, started a rebellion within the sect."
"More than a thousand nobles, both large and small, died in the southeastern province."
"Even the Duke is dead."
"The nobles of the southeastern province united to fight back, and with the help of the royal family, they strangled the invading Harvest Church."
Hearing this, Fang Yuan was quite surprised.
I didn't expect that the Harvest Church was the weakest in the Old World.
He is so strong in the secret realm.
"Besides the Harvest Church, do the evil gods of other countries also launch attacks in this way?"
Sam shook his head.
"Not really."
“Basically once a year.”
"But at Harvest Church it's almost once a month, even once a day."
"Whether it was a big attack or a small one, the followers of the Harvest Church launched an extremely crazy attack."
"As for the Southeast Province this time, it is rumored that the Harvest Church took out a divine weapon, which caused such a large rebellion."
Fang Yuan frowned slightly.
"Artifact?"
"Who has seen it?"
Sam shrugged.
"no one."
"But none of that matters."
"Just listen to me."
Sir Sam continued.
"The rebellion of the Harvest Church certainly dealt a heavy blow to the Southeast Province."
"But the nobles who died in the battle also left a lot of land vacant."
"After the war, both the royal family and the nobles wanted to take these territories for themselves."
"after all!"
"The territory of the Southeast Province is famously wealthy."
"Even if it is the worst barony, its commercial taxes and grain output can be several times that of a border barony."
"And it's safe. The Southeast 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 for this reason that they relaxed their military preparedness, and the enemy seized the opportunity and killed them mercilessly."
"But no matter what, the territory of the Southeast Province is one of the few wealthy places in the Alpha Kingdom."
"After the war, various open and covert struggles began between the local nobles of the southeastern province and the nobles directly under the royal family for these ownerless territories."
"At this time, local nobles tend to unite and resist outsiders."
"And the royal family has granted a large number of honorary nobles, and they all exist by relying on the royal family."
"Once you get the fief, you will be a die-hard fan of the royal family."
"The royal family wants to give the land to their own honorary nobles, and members of their own royal family will take the majority."
"And the local nobles want to digest their 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 were in a stalemate."
"Suddenly, the royal family used a trick."
"Learn the border nobles to go south."
"I propose to give part of the territory to the border nobles to reward their merits."
“As soon as the news came out, the entire border was in an uproar.”
"And the nobles of the Southeast Province did not expect the royal family to do this."
"If the border nobles come south, they have no reason to refuse."
“Once you oppose it, you will be morally condemned.”
"This is not in keeping with the virtues of nobility."
"But the Southeast nobles did not give up."
"They asked the border nobles to send a governor south to negotiate."
"Divide the territory."
"For this time."
"The Governor of Tyre City has set out personally with a large number of nobles."
“But just as we were heading south.”
"An accident happened after entering the royal territory."
"I was assassinated."
"The Governor is dead."
"Only one of the accompanying knights escaped."
"And this knight fled back to Tyre and brought back news that the royal family did it."
Instantly the nobles of Tyre were enraged.
A council of border nobles was then convened.
The governor's eldest son was nominated to inherit the title and led the border troops south.
Ask for fairness from the royal family.
And it was at this time.
Orc invasion of Rayman City.
The city of Tyre was surrounded.
otherwise!
With the city of Tyre's defense, there wouldn't have been such a disastrous defeat.
Just the pioneer castles built outside the city of Tyre.
It was enough to cause heavy casualties to the orc army.
When it comes to this.
Sam sighed harshly.
"Do you believe that the Governor was killed by the Royal Family?"
Fang Yuan asked.
"Do not believe."
"It's totally unnecessary."
"Even when the city of Tyre suddenly assembled its army and marched south, I found it very strange."
"But as a baron, I have no right to speak at all."
"I guess there is either a problem within the royal family or within the city of Tyre."
“Either one or the other has a problem.”
Then he shrugged again.
"But that has nothing to do with us anymore."
"The orcs have made it clear that they want to take over the city of Tyre."
"When support cannot arrive in time."
"The city of Tyre will be breached in five or six days at most."
"The orcs will then take over the Red River Valley and the swamp."
"The final siege of Rainbow Land."
"Clear all the border territories opened up by the Alpha Kingdom."
"And us!"
Sam turned and looked behind him.
"We have escaped with our lives, but we must 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 hard work, in the end, all for nothing!"
Sam patted Fang Yuan on the shoulder after he finished speaking.
"After you return this time, you will follow my family."
"Let's retreat south together."
"I will marry my daughter to you."
“If there is an opportunity to return to the border in the future.”
"My family will fully support you with all its wealth."
After seeing the alchemical equipment, Sam was sure that Fang Yuan would fail this time.
It will definitely make a comeback in the future.
Win over this potential stock.
Perhaps there is still hope for their Sam family.
After Fang Yuan heard the fat man's promise.
The corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
After hesitating for a moment, he raised his head and said.
"If, I mean if there is a chance."
"It can help Tyre turn 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 hesitated for a moment and raised his head.
"My great-grandfather was once a businessman in the Southeast Province."
"After decades of doing business, I accumulated a lot of wealth, but in one night."
"The nobles rushed in with their soldiers and took away all the wealth."
“He told my grandfather.”
"Become a noble no matter what."
"My grandfather became a knight's squire since he was young."
"It took me forty years to become a knight who awakened the magic crystal."
"When I was fifty, I brought my family, a total of thirty people, to the border to open up the territory."
"As far as I can remember, we dug dirt from the fetid swamps to build our territory."
"For food, we planted crops carefully and had to stand guard over the fields every night to guard against attacks from the fishmen."
"My grandfather died from a poisonous arrow of a murloc in the third year after he came to the Border Territory."
"My uncle was hanged in the jungle for resisting the fish-men."
"I waited for my father, defeated the fishmen, and faced the frogmen."
"During a frogman invasion, he was poisoned by the frogmen."
"His face was completely corroded, and he wailed for three days and three nights before he died."
"When Sam Territory was passed to me, I already had three dead brothers and six cousins."
"It took three generations of hard work and two generations of deaths in battle to get Sam County where it is today."
When he said this, Sam's voice began to tremble.
He looked into Fang Yuan's eyes.
"Do you know about the Great Sword Infantry?"
"They are none other than my people."
"Since its establishment, the number of Great Sword Infantrymen killed in battle has reached one thousand."
"These are one thousand of my blood relatives."
"It is their sacrifice that has allowed Sam County to exist to this day."
"If only. If only there was a slight chance."
"There is absolutely no way I'm giving up Sam Collar!!!"
After saying that, he suddenly knelt in front of Fang Yuan.
"Efron, I checked your background."
“It’s very mysterious.”
"I don't know what power you have."
"I don't care what the purpose of the forces behind you is."
"But if you can keep Sam alive."
"I 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 beside him was also somewhat moved.
Different from the blood oaths of later generations.
In an era of chaotic rules, the commitment that comes from blood is recognized by the laws.
The blood oath of this era represents the promise of nobility.
Once issued, it will be protected by the rules.
If the blood oath is violated in the future.
The whole family will suffer a huge disaster.
And in later generations, it was reshaped by the power of laws.
The so-called blood oath no longer has any binding force.
Basically just post it randomly.
Fang Yuan noticed the look on Christian's face.
A thought came to my mind.
I have already guessed how serious the words Sam just said are.
"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 orc colony that was slaughtered by Aria.
When these swamp nobles see this, they will naturally become suspicious.
It would be better to win over Sam now.
With his assistance, the swamp nobles will be tied to their chariots wholeheartedly.
"Sam."
"I know a way."
"It can reach directly to the foot of Lehman City!"
Hearing the news from Fang Yuan.
Sam was stunned at first, then looked disappointed.
"Efron."
“The road to Lehman City is no secret.”
"I also know that if we go northeast from here, we only need to pass through six pioneer territories."
"It will take you to Lehman City."
"I have launched attacks from this direction more than once with the Border Development Corps."
“But every time I came back with nothing.”
"To protect the safety of Lehman City."
"The number of troops stationed in these pioneering territories is no less than one thousand."
"Once attacked, support can be provided from all directions."
"In less than half a day, an army of tens of thousands and six impenetrable fortresses will appear before us."
"And there are only a few of us!"
"I want to break through these lines of defense."
"Do you think that's possible?"
Sam became more and more disappointed as he spoke.
He didn't expect that this was the news Efron would reveal.
I shouldn't have believed him at all.
And just when Sam was feeling frustrated.
Fang Yuan's voice sounded again.
"What if all the defenders of these pioneer territories are dead?"
Sam's face froze at this.
Then he looked at Fang Yuan in disbelief.
"die?"
Fang Yuan nodded.
"You~"
He wanted to ask, but quickly chose to shut up.
"Are they really all dead?"
Sam asked again.
"died."
Got an accurate answer.
Sam stood up suddenly.
"Efron."
"You can't lie to me!"
"Of course not."
Soon, Baron Sam paced back and forth, muttering to himself.
"If you die."
"Then the road to Lehman City is completely opened."
"The Carlo family must be gathering all their strength to attack the city of Tyre."
"If at this time, I could have a siege army of 3,000."
"Then take down Lehman City!"
"Maybe it's possible."
"Even if I can't get it."
"It can also force the Carlo family to come back for help."
"As long as we succeed, the city of Tyre will be saved, and the Sam family's territory will also be saved."
"No, it's not that there is salvation, but the Sam family will become a powerful family on the border."
"Even the king wants to see me."
Think of a better future.
Sam stopped abruptly, his expression suddenly changing.
A look of pain appeared.
"But Efron."
"We don't have 3,000 soldiers, we only have a few thousand peasant soldiers."
"There must still be defenders in Lehman City."
"Even if the army of Lehman City leaves, our forces are not enough to capture Lehman City."
A one-in-a-million opportunity was right in front of them, but they were unable to seize it because of their small number of soldiers.
Sam fell into endless pain.
And just when Fang Yuan was about to speak.
Sam turned sharply again.
"Wait, we can ask Rainbow Valley for help."
"Efron, although this will divide up some of the credit."
"But~"
Fang Yuan raised his hand to stop the other party from speaking further.
"The legion in Rainbow Valley should have been ambushed by the orcs."
"We took advantage of the chaos to escape."
“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 surprised.
"Sam."
"All six pioneer territories are gone."
"Do you think the guards of Lehman City are any good?"
At this moment, he suddenly woke up as if from a dream.
"Yep."
"Efron, you're right."
Immediately his eyes rolled.
“Such generous conditions.”
"So Efron."
"What do the forces behind you want?"
Fang Yuan smiled faintly.
"Magic crystal."
"All the magic crystals."
"And there are supplies!"
"I own 70% of the looted materials."
"The remaining 30% is for you to share with other nobles."
"But there's a condition."
"After entering Lehman City."
"No one can be left alive!"
Sam grinned at this.
"Of course!"
"Do not worry."
"I know what to do."
When Sam heard that all the magic crystals were needed, he guessed that the alchemist was helping behind the scenes.
Ordinary alchemists cannot participate in mortal wars.
Once discovered, they will be hunted down.
But many times, wild alchemists don't care about this.
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 gotten involved.
But for the sake of family territory, he had no choice but to take the risk.
Fang Yuan quickly reached an agreement with Sam.
It's up to Sam to convince the swamp nobles.
Those who can come to the border to open up new territories are adventurers and desperadoes.
I've put my head on my waist a long time ago.
I heard there was such a great opportunity.
None of the remaining swamp nobles objected.
After everyone reached a consensus.
The team's marching speed suddenly increased.
After the slaughtered orcs settling in territory.
All the swamp nobles were terrified, but more than that, they were eager and greedy.
The eagerness to capture Lehman City.
Greed for the looting of Lehman City.
That's it!
The Carlo family's hundreds of years of foundation.
And just as the swamp nobles rushed towards Lehman City.
now.
Outside Lehman.
Aria stared at the gate of Reman City.
there.
The violent tiger warriors led by Blayney are trying to capture the city gate.
After a while.
A flag was raised at the city gate.
This is the message of success that Blaney delivers.
Aria suddenly drew the long sword from his waist.
"Knights!"
"exist!"
Behind him, the guardian knights and the dwarf chariot legion came out.
"Capture the city!!!"
"Kill!!!" (End of this chapter)
