Lord of the North

Baria Pass is a gateway between Baijian Province and Zhelun Province. Usually only two thousand troops are stationed, but now this pass is full of soldiers.

Even the original barracks could no longer hold so many people, which caused them to set up simple tents in the open space one after another.

The walls of the pass are full of soldiers with solemn expressions. Although they are all veterans of the White Sword Province, there are really not many real battlefields.

Even most of them only participated in some bandit operations, but today or tomorrow, they will soon be on the battlefield.

Looking to the south from the wall of the pass, you can vaguely see the outline of a large military camp, which is their compatriot, soldiers from the Jelun province.

Now they are about to become their enemy on the battlefield, which makes this group of soldiers nervous.

Because many people don't know what happened, the soldiers of the upper echelons of the kingdom have basically no access to them. Even if there is anecdotal news, they are mostly speculations.

They are just ordinary soldiers who came after receiving the order.

"Atum, my child, are you really determined to follow that adult?"

On the tower at the top of the pass, a guard followed by two strong guards watched and walked slowly to Atum’s side. He looked deeply at the faint outline of the military camp in the distance, voice No mood swings can be heard.

His name is Leah Yuri, the patriarch of the Yuri family, the previous king of Lopez, the earl personally canonized by Jason's grandfather, a real power lord, and the strength of the territory can be ranked first in the entire north of Lopez. Ten nobles.

At the same time, he was also Atum's father-in-law, and he played an indispensable role in Atum's mastery of the entire White Sword Province.

The most important thing is that Earl Yuri has only one daughter, which means that sooner or later his title will fall to Atum's son.

"Ah, it's confirmed." Atum nodded gently with his arms, and answered in a very relaxed tone, but did not turn around to look at his father-in-law.

There was a moment of silence, the old earl's expression did not seem to have changed, he was still so calm.

"My child, then what are you going to do?"

After a while, the old earl broke the silence. He turned his head slightly and looked at the son-in-law who was very satisfied with him and also very beloved.

Because the Yuri family is thin, he is the only one in his generation, and his next generation has only one daughter, so he has always regarded Atum as his son.

Moreover, Atum’s current residence is also owned by the Yuri family. Although he planned to buy a house by himself and live in it, he was stopped because the old count told him that after his death, all of this belonged to him.

He just wants someone to be by his side now.

"I just need to follow the adult's arrangements. We don't need to worry about other things, otherwise it will easily disrupt the adult's plan."

Atum turned to look at the old count with a smile, and said softly: "Go back and rest. This front line is really not suitable for you."

"Okay, pay attention to your safety."

The old count gave him a deep look, then nodded, turned and left with his guard.

"Success or failure in one fell swoop."

After watching the old earl leave, Atum turned around again, looking solemnly at the army in the distance, they had built simple fortifications.

And slowly gathering the army, as if planning to fight with the army of Baijian Province, if it were not the opponent, then withdraw to the back of the fortifications of the barracks.

"Let the soldiers assemble as soon as they have eaten, and we're going out of the city after getting ready."

Atum took a deep breath, his eyes gradually becoming firm, and finally a trace of cruelty flashed, and without looking back, he ordered a commander on the side.

"Yes, my lord!"

The commander bowed his head and agreed, then turned and left. At an angle that Atum couldn't see, the corner of the commander's mouth pulled up in an arc of excitement, as if he was excited for the next battle.

On the other side, Jason personally brought 16,000 troops to the junction of Lucca and Jelun provinces, along with Lancelot, Hassan, and Gareth.

It's just that Roland and Ronnet are not in the team, they may have been dispatched to other places, because there are still 6,000 troops in the province of Yello going against the current, and it may be a bit difficult to manage by Lan Mallok alone.

Because the province of El Hierro has just gone through battles and purges, many middle-level and high-level generals have been dismissed. The newly appointed generals are not yet familiar with their own positions, and there are even a number of positions vacant. The enforcement of military orders is really insufficient.

Jason’s army passed through a hilly area and the march was difficult, so Jason directly ordered a temporary camp here~www.readwn.com~ and waited for the next step.

During the rest, Viscount Lyon came to Jason with a bit of entanglement, and said hesitantly: "His Royal Highness, have you just handed it over to Atum that guy at Baria Pass?"

In fact, he is a representative elected by the nobles who first supported Jason, after all, his daughter and Gareth are a little closer.

Although Gareth has not said so far, but in their opinion this is a matter of time.

"He has been put under our command now, he can be regarded as your colleague, how can you have so little confidence in him?"

After hearing his words, Jason immediately understood these people's considerations, and suddenly he was a little bit dumbfounded.

They clearly expressed their thoughts, and they said to Jason that they were a little worried that Atum would take his army to fight back.

"We don’t mean anything else. We just think that you have given him a little bit more power. We have a battle line alone. If he turns back, our Lucca province will be exposed to their fangs without protection. ."

Viscount Lyon sighed, and didn't intend to slap on the sidelines. He directly expressed his thoughts. Now they have been labeled as Jason, and they are both prosperous and ruined.

"Relax. We have to believe in Atum's character. You all know that he is a unique warrior. How can he do such a thing?" Jason waved his hand, seeming to trust Atum's quality.

"What's more, Zola's father is his lifesaver." He slowly raised his head and said with a weird look in his eyes.

"Yes...Is it?"

After seeing Jason's eyes, Viscount Lyon suddenly felt panic, and he was a little uncomfortable to speak.
