Chapter 89 Incitement
Five days passed in the blink of an eye.

A messenger came from the capital to summon Baron Arnold to the capital to meet the king in the near future.

"Master Viscount Fast has set off this morning, please Baron Arnold as soon as possible."

The messenger is only an honorary viscount, which is lower than a fiefdom like Viscount Faster, and equal to Ron's status in terms of title, so he didn't speak honorifics.

The highest honorary title in the Carlo Kingdom is the Honorary Marquis, whose status is equivalent to that of a feudal earl, which is already the highest status achieved by an honorary knight.

The messenger did not stay long, and returned to the royal capital after conveying the king's order.

The things to be prepared have been dealt with, and Ron didn't waste any time. He got into the carriage and headed to the capital that afternoon. Abel was the only guarding knight.

When passing through the Viscount Gordon, Ron told Joseph to take a detour. Several months passed, and it was not known whether Michelle had returned from the capital after graduation.

In front of the gate of the Viscount Mansion.

A magnificently decorated and majestic carriage pulled by two scaled horses was parked in front of the mansion. The knight guarding the gate ran in to report the news the first time he saw the tree-shaped flag on the top of the carriage. Since Darren After the knight and others received the thank-you gift from Baron Arnold, the other knights in the Viscount's mansion gave envious glances.

"Lord Baron Arnold." The remaining knight came forward to greet him with a friendly smile on his face and saluted him.

"Is your Master Michelle back?" Ron nodded and asked.

"I'm back, the young master and young lady are at the mansion." The knight replied.

At this time, two figures appeared at the gate of the mansion, not Viscount Gordon, but Michelle and Marina who hadn't seen each other for a few months.

Seeing him again, Michelle seemed very excited. He had a lot to say, but this was obviously not the place to talk. He smiled and said, "Let's go in and talk about it. I've been listening to Father talking about you since I came back."

Ron smiled, and then greeted Marina behind him, who also responded.

"Go in, I heard that you gave father a gift, but you didn't give it to me?" Michelle said with a joking smile.

"Haha, I don't know if you will come back this time, so I didn't make any special preparations. Next time."

"I'm just kidding."

Michelle paused as she spoke, and then said, "Did you really send it to me?"

The white wand in Viscount Gordon's hand is not a fake, and the inheritance-level wand is a fatal attraction for a magician.

"Of course, not only for you, but also for Miss Marina. However, I will wait until I go to the capital to finish my business."

While speaking, the three of them entered the mansion.

In front of the gate, the knight guarding the gate set his sights on two distinctive horses.

"Sir, what kind of horse is this? I don't think I've seen it before."

After hearing this, Joseph smiled proudly, "This horse is not simple. It contains the blood of a demon snake in its body. Its physical strength is comparable to that of a monster. It is difficult for ordinary people to control. Only an experienced groom like me can make them obedient."

The knight guarding the gate was stunned by Joseph's boast, and looked at the two demon-scaled horses with eyes full of envy.

Ron didn't stay in Viscount Gordon's mansion for a long time. Viscount Gordon knew that Arnold's Territory was about to go to war with Faster Territory. He told all the information he knew and told Ron with a serious expression. Open your mouth.

Ron could clearly feel Viscount Gordon's concern. After reassuring the other party, he continued his journey to the capital.

"The Arnold family will return to glory in his hands."

Viscount Gordon expressed emotion. When talking about the war with the Fast Territory just now, Ron seemed very confident and decisive in both words and actions, and he was obviously not afraid of the opponent at all.

He pondered for a moment, then turned his head to look at his son, and said, "Michelle, from tomorrow onwards, you can participate in the discussion, and it's time for you to try it out."

"Yes, my father."

Michel nodded, he was the only heir to the title, so he didn't feel excited.

A few days later, Ron and his party arrived in the capital.

With the physical fitness of the magic scale horse and Joseph's superb driving skills, Ron is as fast as a sports car, and the speed is astonishingly fast, which is more than half of the previous time.

"Joseph, if there is a horse-drawn carriage race, you must be No. 1."

After getting out of the carriage, Ron sighed, the carriage driven by Joseph was really amazing, stable and fast.

Ron didn't see any entries in him, but he has such skills, which may be created by love and accumulated experience.

Before Ron ordered Abel to send the clerk to the palace, a knight serving in the palace came to pick him up. This amazing efficiency made Ron think deeply.

It seems that his every move is being watched by some people, and he is a little uncomfortable.

Under the leadership of the Sir, Ron came all the way to the palace hall. The last time he came here was to confer the title of lord.

There were already many people in the hall of the palace. Ron saw King Meredith on the throne, and the Marquis of Noches standing under the steps. He, the prime minister, would be there every time it was important.

Seeing him, Ron remembered that he had a brief conversation with the other party. The Marquis of Noches seemed to know the covenant between the royal family and the Arnold family, so he said such meaningful words.

He glanced to one side, many ministers came today, some of the other ministers have seen, some have not seen, they stand on the left and right sides of the hall, from their clothes can be seen that there are some differences in status.

And in the center of the hall, stood a rich middle-aged man, staring at Ron with a gloomy face.

It is not difficult to guess that this person is the Viscount Faster.

Ron came to the crowd calmly, without looking aside, and bowed slightly in the direction of the throne.

"See His Majesty the King."

After a short greeting, we got to the point. Meredith said: "Viscount Fast accused you in the document of hurting his fourth son Jim for no reason, and brutally beheading his hands. Is this true? "

Ron glanced at the man next to him. It was obvious that the document handed in by Viscount Faster had been 'modified'. Perhaps because of his reckless behavior, he thought he was reckless and ignorant, so he either denied it or admitted it.

No matter what, he will lose face as a nobleman in front of everyone.

But the facts didn't make Fast what he wanted. In the words of Marquis Noches, 'you don't know what the surname Arnold means'.

Ron smiled lightly, "The boy's hand was indeed cut off by someone. As for the reason, Viscount Fast must know better than me."

Hearing this, and seeing Ron's fearless expression, the ministers had associations in their hearts, and the nobles who were originally biased towards Viscount Faster chose to wait and see.

"Hmph, Jim just helped you teach an unruly maid, and you let him lose his hands. Is this the style of the Arnold family?" Viscount Fast sneered.

"Rules? In my territory, my words are the rules!" Ron stared at him with disdainful eyes.

As soon as this remark came out, Viscount Fast was very happy, and he scolded the other party as an idiot from the bottom of his heart. He dared to say such a thing, and he was not afraid of offending the ministers and His Majesty present.

Steady!

All the ministers frowned, and their impression of Ron dropped rapidly. Only the Marquis of Noches looked calm and watched silently.

"Your Majesty, are you right in what I said?" Ron suddenly looked at the king on the throne and asked.

The ministers were frightened by Ron's actions, and secretly observed the change of expression on the king's face.

Meredith had already figured out Ron's intentions. He wanted to pull him off, but what the other party said was indeed true. In Arnold's territory, the Arnold family had no choice but to obey the king's order.

"Baron Arnold is right." Meredith said calmly.

But the king's statement made the ministers astonished. This was a signal, their minds became active, and they looked at Ron again with eyes full of scrutiny and prudence.

Viscount Fast had an ugly expression on his face. He was not stupid. He had already realized that the development of the matter had deviated from the plan. The Arnold family was not as simple as it appeared on the surface.

He wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Ron, "I don't want to listen to your nonsense anymore. Since you want to start a war, then fight. Is talking nonsense the style of the Fast family?"

Agitated by these words, Viscount Fast's face became even colder, and he immediately applied to the king: "Your Majesty, please allow me to initiate a battle of honor against Baron Arnold."

Meredith did not agree immediately, but looked at Ron. His actions made Viscount Fast's heart a little colder.

Ron nodded.

Meredith just said, "In this case, under the witness of me and the ministers, you begin to take the oath."

The Marquis of Noches waved back, and several affairs officers came to Ron and Viscount Fast holding swords, which were props used for the opening ceremony.

The two faced each other and crossed their swords in the middle. Viscount Fast said in a deep voice, "I, Bruce Fast, bet on the family honor in the name of Fast's current Patriarch, and have a battle of honor with Patriarch Arnold."

This is an oath, which is basically a rule set by the royal family for the sake of restraint. The content is not much and it is easy to remember.

After Viscount Fast finished, Ron followed suit, "I am Ron Arnold."

sonorous.

When the two swords clash, the last step is considered complete, which means that both sides will abide by the rules and carry out an honorable war.

-

Arnold territory.

As soon as the lord returns, the territorial war will start, and Thomas, as the commander, has already made perfect arrangements.

Including Taylor, there are a total of twelve knights, each equipped with a set of weapons and armor, a magic scale horse, and Nancy's special alchemy potion, which can be described as fully armed.

It was the first time for Taylor to obtain the weapons and equipment made by Hadey, and he was in a state of excitement all day long, looking forward to the arrival of the war with the Fast Territory.

He swore that the lord would win.

On this day, Egbert returned to the mansion with a bad face and told Joyce what he had heard.

There were some inflammatory remarks among the citizens and refugees, saying that the lord, regardless of their life and death, insisted on going to war with the powerful Fastland.

After listening to Egbert's words, Joyce and Amelia looked at each other.

coming!

This idea appeared in the hearts of both of them at the same time. The other party's approach was simple and naive, but it worked just right.

The civilian class is ignorant, and is the most easily bewitched and becomes a weapon in the hands of others.Once this plan is successful, there will be unrest in Arnold's territory without waiting for the war to start.

but.
"Mr. Egbert, don't worry, Mr. Thomas has prepared a coping strategy." Joyce laughed.

Hearing this, Egbert showed surprise.

On a square in the territory.

This was originally the bulletin board of Cote Town, but now it has been demolished, and the buildings behind it have also been bulldozed. It was replanned by architectural experts and designed as a large square.

A wooden high platform was built on the square, and Thomas stood on it, and there was a huge crowd below the platform, thousands of people crowded together.

Although there are guards maintaining order, but there are too many people, everyone is discussing softly, and it seems noisy when they gather together.

"Quiet!"

A thick and steady voice suddenly sounded, spread throughout the square and fell into everyone's ears. They all raised their heads to look in the direction of the sound.

"I know what you're worried about, but that's unnecessary."

Thomas aroused his fighting spirit and diffused his voice. His voice was as thick as a mountain, as if being hammered hard into everyone's brain by a heavy hammer, which could not be ignored.

The eyes of thousands of people focused on Thomas, waiting for his next words.

"The lord made it clear that it is our knight's duty to fight for the territory and the people, so you will not participate in the war."

Thomas' voice became sonorous and powerful, "On behalf of the lord's twelve knights of the round table, I swear that I will fulfill the duties of a knight and win this war, for the lord and for you to protect the peace of the territory."

The audience was silent. No one had ever seen such a scene. It was unimaginable to say in public as a knight of the lord that he wanted to protect them, a group of civilians.

In the crowd, some people became anxious and uttered one after another, trying to discredit the image of the lord and knight.

"Nobles always like to deceive us, don't believe it!"

"Yes, no one can lie, and we are refugees from other places, not protected!"

"."

Hearing all kinds of similar words, Thomas did not panic, but smiled. More than [-] refugees flowed into Arnold's territory, many of whom were sent from other territories.

Apart from the refugees, the civilians who had lived there for many years might also be spies sent by the enemy, but they were all well hidden and were not found out.

But now, Thomas took advantage of this opportunity to easily pick them out one by one.

For this reason, he did not say much on this matter, but just said, "There are 12 participants in the war, please keep in mind."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked. The instigators seemed to have found a breakthrough. How could a mere 12 people resist the troops in the Fast Territory.

But Thomas didn't give them a chance, and continued to break the news that was big news for civilians.

"Everyone should know that the road leading to the lord's mansion has been planted with food. The potatoes that the lord has spent time, money and energy on for you are now ripe and will be distributed to you in the near future."

For ordinary civilians, it is a big deal to have a full stomach. Thomas understood this from Ron, so he adopted such a strategy. He continued: "This kind of crop is produced in a large amount, and the cooking method There will be someone to teach, don’t worry if you can’t learn it, the preparation is simple and delicious, the lord and we have both eaten it.”

Hearing that it was the food eaten by nobles and lords, everyone was relieved, at least it was not the kind of food that was fed to livestock.

Someone said in surprise, "It turns out that those things are called potatoes. I have long heard that the land was reclaimed and the lord planted food for us."

To this day, everyone knows the intention of the lord, and the respect in their hearts is rising rapidly.

Thomas disappeared silently on the stage, and the next thing was left to Joyce's men, who had other things to do.

The group of spies that surfaced still needs to be dealt with.
