Chapter 318 Combat Meeting

At this time, the noble troops are gathering towards the Blood Lion City, and the Marquis' food collection team is also running within the direct territory. The impending war has made the local economy like a raging fire. The major chambers of commerce have made a lot of profits by selling military supplies, but these organizations There is only one person standing behind him.

It is worth mentioning that the most expensive items at present are not food and weapons, but slaves, especially mature men with some fighting ability. The price is generally more than two gold coins.

Tipeon rode on the horse tied to the public carriage station next to him and walked side by side with his allies. The actual number of troops under his command was about five thousand. In order to make up this scale, he even did not hesitate to ask the superior noble Berea at the end of last autumn. Si borrowed 2,000 soldiers and 200 horses, and finally assembled 400 regular knights. It was already a desperate move.

After the battle, if he did not have enough military exploits to build a foundation, even as the second son of a marquis, he would inevitably lose his title and seize land, and he would owe a high price to the Boreas family.

"I don't think you will let your anger go unchecked." Jiang Yuan said. Over the black hunting suit, he put on a layer of leather armor that he made himself. The material came from dead griffons, and the texture was tough and light.

"People always have impulses once or twice." Tipeon replied with a smile.

The two arrived at the Marquis Castle along the main road. It is a square building surrounded by canals in the city and densely covered with fortresses. When they stepped over the drawbridge and entered the gate tower, shouts of "His Royal Highness Sariel has arrived" were heard from inside. Pass on, every important noble has this courtesy, many of them will be flattered after meeting the sword master who guards the door.

After entering the Marquis's residence, the view suddenly broadened. In front of him was a field of flowers and grassland, which was in sharp contrast with the urban area outside. The outer walls of the castle extended from left to right and backward, connecting with the walls of Blood Lion City. It forms an area similar to a large urn city, which is a slightly strange layout.

"The first Castaro said that blood lions should live in the wilderness. Of course, there are still castles." Tipeon quietly admired the scenery in front of him.

On the flower meadow, there are noble guards hunting wild beasts on horseback. Outside the castle, which is green and brown, an open-air banquet has been spread out. There are not only men preparing to participate in the war nearby, but also many girls and women. Once the Asra nobles Gathering, this can easily happen.

The Marquis has not appeared from the beginning to the end. In the family duel, the strongest force will be excluded to prevent the intensity from rising to a real cruel battle. The vassal meeting also has many meanings, taking on the functions of dating, socializing, and lining up.

The person presiding over the meeting was the third son of the Marquis and heir Momizel Castaro. He was walking towards this direction with his entourage at the moment. He had a relatively handsome appearance and was only eighteen years old. He was wearing white-gold light armor. The pure white cloak is connected to the bear claw buckle and flutters in the wind behind her.

"Look, this is my good brother. The damn old guy should really send him to the Palace of Silver to be a rootless man." Tipeon showed a gentle smile. When his mouth was opened, outsiders might still smile. I thought he was seriously missing something.

"Superior magician, no wonder you are in such a miserable state." Jiang Yuan looked at the young man who was gradually approaching. According to the report of the secret spy team, the eldest son of the Castaro family went out to be an adventurer ten years ago. It is said that this incident At that time, the Marquis almost went crazy. Later, he died tragically in the Demon Continent and became a laughing stock among the nobles. He gave up his inheritance rights and went wandering. Obviously no one approved of this behavior. Later, Tipeon took over as the heir.

"Your Highness, you are indeed as beautiful as the rumors say." Mizer raised his right hand over his left chest on horseback and performed a common greeting greeting. "You are just hanging out with my incompetent brother, judging. Strength needs to be strengthened.”

Next to the young earl, the sword king with gray eyes was not as leisurely as his companion. He calmly held the hilt of the sword at his waist. The gray eagle on his shoulders held its wings tightly against his body, making it difficult to observe. From the perspective of the sword king, the surging fighting spirit belonging to the sword king is surging, which is a precursor to using all his strength to draw the sword.

"Take him away, don't be an eyesore here." Jiang Yuan's tone was as cold as ever.

The Gray Eagle Sword King let go of the hilt of his sword, turned around and punched Mizer in the neck. The blood supply was stagnant, causing a brief and intense dizziness. The moment the heir lost consciousness, the Sword King picked him up and put him on his shoulders, preparing to turn the horse's head. leave.

"No, Brother Gray Eagle, your cautiousness makes me want to laugh..." Before Tipeon could finish his words, a sinister aura swept through his mind, and a long sword engraved with a gryphon pattern was pressed against his neck, sharp. The tip of the sword pierced the skin, slowly leaving a line of blood.

He could only raise his hands to show that he was just speaking without restraint.

Jiang Yuan put away his sword. Neither of these two brothers were good people. Mizel's original intention was to have a conflict between himself and the Gray Eagle Sword King, thereby further tying this king-level combat power to the carriage. After all, there were nobles not far away. , taking action is tantamount to truly expressing his stance. As long as the Gray Eagle Sword King is truly standing in the Mizer camp in the eyes of outsiders, this guy can borrow the other party's influence. More importantly, the Sword King and the Marquis are close friends who can share women. This Even adventurers know this.

As for Mizel's brother, Jiang Yuan glanced at him and said coldly: "Next time, we will meet on the battlefield."

It is normal for someone to die in chaos, and it is difficult to hide it in public, no matter whether the person who dies is the marquis heir or not.

"It was me who lost my temper, and I will offer my apology later." Tipeon seemed to be truly sorry, but this was naturally a disguise that the two of them knew well. There was no friendship between the two parties, they were just simply using each other. Sariel's infantry and knights are needed, and the other party needs his connections to participate in the feast. Compared with the numerous heirs gathered around him, the reward he gives will undoubtedly be more grand.

On this basis, the two moved on as if nothing had happened.

Mizell's coma attracted obvious attention, but not much. In essence, he and the nobles were all vassals of the marquis. Being too close would only make the lord wary. The grasp of the scale was important to the participants. It's a basic quality, and it's the chief knight who does it.

The long table in front of the castle is covered with a golden tablecloth. Young maids come and go to ensure that the food is always warm. The door at the back remains open. If anyone wants, they can lead the maid they like to the guest room for games. It doesn't matter. Is it daytime?

A huge map was spread out on the ground, and the person responsible for assigning combat tasks was Mizel's uncle, the current Marquise's brother, Earl Tusco.

Many nobles sat on exquisite wooden chairs. The four earls of Kohler, Leiden, Prest, and Brand sat in the front seats. These were all great lords in the central and southern part of the Norvos Plain. The remaining viscounts More than ten.

Jiang Yuan nodded in response to everyone's gestures and sat down at the first place on the right to participate in the meeting. “…I don’t think your actual total strength exceeds 50,000.”

"Don't be so pessimistic. I alone brought 30,000 people with me."

"My family's wealth is no less than that of the Kohler family."

"This number is too small. Without an army of 100,000, how can it match the nobility of the Marquis."

"There must be tens of thousands of knights alone."

Earl Tusco's first words aroused everyone's dissatisfaction. He looked at the previous princes, hoping that the young people would be more shameless than these guys.

"I only brought 50,000 yuan, which is not as good as the seniors." Jiang Yuan said calmly.

Tipeon leaned back slightly. He felt that his 30,000-strong army was exaggerated enough, especially since the other party was on the same level as him not long ago.

Appreciative glances came one after another, and with just one sentence, the four Earls accepted this new member of the senior leadership.

It is indeed the blood of a king.

Tasige was silent for a long time, and he was like the same guy.

"Everyone, this duel is not for you to fight against the autumn wind. It is the duty of a minister to be loyal to the lord."

"As long as my knights can be fed, there is no problem in being loyal to them even to the death." Count Kohler said. His appearance is quite rugged, tall and muscular, like a hill.

The other three people also echoed their words. Although they are the marquis's ministers, it does not mean that Tusco can ride on their heads. Assigning combat tasks is a great power, and the other party must not be allowed the opportunity to act recklessly.

Tipeon watched this scene with great interest, and the expression on his face was that he wanted to get involved immediately. Unfortunately, he was a direct descendant of the Castaro family after all, and he could not openly stab the family in the back.

"I will send a special person to check the size of your army." Tusco gritted his teeth and said, "In terms of the resulting number, I will double the number and allocate food, grass and weapons to you. You can sell it or not as you wish."

"A vassal has no right to promise the lord's assets." Tipeon finally seized the opportunity and spoke. At this moment, the other party was on the opposite side of the family.

"I will bear the burden myself." Tusco looked at his nominal nephew, his eyes as cold as sharp knives.

"I suggest that combat missions should wait until you have verified them before releasing them, otherwise errors may easily occur." Jiang Yuan said that the market price of slaves has far exceeded that of the same period, but from this point of view, it is estimated that it will still rise significantly, the more people there are, , the more food, grass and weapons you get.

The Tuskar in front of him may be just a chess piece. The real master of Blood Lion City is catalyzing the prosperity of interests through him. The major local chambers of commerce in the city have prepared sufficient slave reserves in advance. It is impossible to say that there are no problems behind the scenes. .

"What Your Highness said is exactly what I want."

"Yes, combat should naturally be precise."

"I hope it won't take too long."

After a period of meaningless discussion, the war meeting was forced to end. Count Kohler casually grabbed a young maid and walked towards the castle guest room. The other nobles also left their seats.

Jiang Yuan got up and prepared to find a room to continue practicing his fighting spirit. After more than half a year of hard work, he had completed two-fifths of the gasification liquid. This is a difficult accumulation process. Once successful, he can use the iconic fighting spirit of the Sword Master. cut.

Saint Din quietly came to his side to perform his guard duties. The ten alchemist soldiers who served as guards spurred their horses and began to hunt wild beasts on the flowers and meadows for dinner.

 I have been on duty for the past few days, and there is still another chapter after I wake up.
