It feels so good to stick to Miss Witch

A knight from the Iron Mountain Territory came to visit and claimed to have brought the "Declaration of War" from the Lord of Iron Mountain, Lord Denham!

To be precise, the full name of the "Declaration of War" is "Declaration of Territory Merger Battle".

Hearing this word, Reid's pupils shrank, he waved the knight back, then quickly went to Roy's room and reported the matter to him.

Under Red's explanation, Roy also understood what the so-called "territory merger battle declaration" was.

In the imperial law, there are two ways to deal with the territory that loses the lord.One is that the empire directly reclaims it, and then grants it to a brand new nobleman.The other is that the lords of the territories near the territory can carry out the "territory merger" by paying a certain amount of "territory gold" to the empire, and with the guarantee of at least a big noble above the earl.

There are three processes for "territory merger":

[-]. The declared war territory issued a "territory merger battle declaration" to the knights of the declared war territory who lost their lord.

[-]. After the declaration is issued, the knights of the former lord's family in the declared war territory have three days to prepare, and then the declared war territory will launch a "merge battle".

[-]. If the knights in the declared war territory fail to resist, it means that the territory will belong to the declared war territory from now on and be merged into the territory of the declared war territory.

And if the knights of the declared war territory succeed in resisting, or even defeat the declared war territory, then the "territory merger" will fail, or even be "reversely merged".

But can a territory that has lost its lord really be able to resist a well-prepared and menacing territory that declares war?

The answer is obvious.

Chapter 25

The arrival of the "Declaration of Battle for Territory Merger" shows that the person behind the scenes—Lord of Iron Mountain, Lord Denham, no longer hides himself, and has come from the dark to the bright.

In fact, from the perspective of Lord Denham, there is really no need to continue to hide behind the scenes.

The former lord of the Blackstone Territory, Jess Turumbel, has been confirmed missing. The lord's son, Roy Turumbel, was taken away by the temple on suspicion of colluding with the wandering witch. In addition, the Shadow Witch's attack on the prison car of the temple further confirmed Roy's The fact that he colluded with the Wandering Witch.

You must know that the Shadow Witch is not a recorded serving witch, but a wandering witch.

Even if the Ice Witch that Roy colluded with was not the same one, as long as it was a Wandering Witch, it was enough to confirm the rumor that Roy, the son of Lord Blackstone, had colluded with the Wandering Witch.

In this way, even the empire will not grant the title of Lord Roy and the title of lord under such "conclusive evidence".

That is to say, under the condition that Lord Blackstone and Roy, the son of the lord who is legally qualified to inherit, do not "disappear", Blackstone Territory has no resistance to Iron Mountain Territory.

inside the room.

Roy pondered, his eyes sparkled slightly, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "The territory merged battle declaration, so is this your idea..."

After knowing the purpose of Lord Denham, Lord of Iron Mountain, Roy felt relieved.

The unknown is the most terrifying.

This kind of thing with a clear purpose and a clear enemy is not terrible.

Today, the positions of light and darkness between the enemy and ourselves are replaced. In this "territory merger battle", it is still a matter of debate who will win and who will lose.

The Lord of Iron Mountain, Lord Denham, is trying to annex the Blackstone Territory through the "Battle of Territory Merger", but why isn't he worrying about how to deal with the Iron Mountain Territory in a "reasonable and legal way"?

In Roy's view, the territorial merger battle was an excellent opportunity.

There was an unwritten rule in the battle of territorial annexation. In this battle, even if the knights of the annexed territory accidentally killed the enemy nobles during the resistance, the empire would not hold them accountable.

In the final analysis, the "territorial annexation war" is an unjust war of aggression. If the invaded party is even restricted from resisting, it would be unreasonable.

If he killed or captured Lord Denham, Lord of Iron Mountain, in the "Battle of Territory Merger" three days later, then not only would he not be able to find fault with the law, but morally, other nobles would also be unable to make irresponsible remarks.

The reason why he planned to capture Lord Denham was because Roy still had some doubts in his heart.

He always felt that Lord Denham's "Battle of Territory Annexation" launched against the Blackstone Territory by the Lord of Iron Mountain was by no means as simple as it appeared.

A series of thoughts flowed through his mind, and Roy looked up at Red:

"Uncle Reid, please go and deal with the Knight of Iron Mountain who came to the door, just 'normal reaction'."

"Afterwards, you will lead the knights to 'prepare', and I will make arrangements for the rest."

"Yes!" Red nodded heavily, then turned and left.

Roy touched his chin, walked to the desk in the room and sat down, and began to analyze the current combat effectiveness of the enemy and us.

Not counting the witch, there are two Bronze Knights in the Iron Mountain Territory, Lord Denham, the lord of the Iron Mountain with three stars in bronze, and his entourage knight, Jax, who is one star in bronze.

On the side of Blackstone Collar, there is only one Bronze Knight, and it is Red, who is a two-star bronze.

As for those below bronze, the number of knights in the two territories is about the same, more than 30. The difference is that the Iron Mountain Territory is backed by a large iron mine and has a prosperous foundry industry. The armor and weapons of its knights are relatively sophisticated, but the Blackstone Territory I also have iron mines and blacksmiths, so the gap is not too big.

As for the witches on the bright side, the serving witches in the two territories are now on the verge of losing control. If Lord Denham hadn't gone crazy, it would be impossible to send Vivienne, the Witch of Light, to fight.

After all, once the witch loses control and deforms into a monster, it will be harmful to Lord Denham.

Calculating purely based on the data on paper, the Blackstone Territory has almost no chance of winning this "territory merger battle".

The biggest gap comes from the serious shortage of high-level combat power.

Although the Bronze Knight is not worth mentioning in the eyes of the Witch, it is actually an extremely powerful existence, and it can easily win against an official knight.

Reid's fighting power is not weak, now that he has the secret breathing technique, his fighting power will definitely be improved after he masters it, but Iron Mountain has two bronze knights, and Lord Denham is even more immersed in the three-star bronze level. A seasoned knight of ten years.

One-on-one, it is difficult for Reid to be his opponent, let alone two-on-one.

This is also the confidence that Tieshan collar will take over Heishi collar.

If the old Lord Blackstone was still around, the mighty strength of the Silver Knight would frighten all directions, and no one would dare to reveal a trace of delusion, but now...

Roy tapped his fingers lightly on the desk, thinking silently.

Heishiling's biggest hole card now is him and several witches.

If the right time can be found, the Ice Witch Aisi will surely solve Lord Denham quickly, but such an opportunity is hard to find, and there is a great possibility of exposure, so it is not worth it.

Second, it is himself.

There are three days of preparation time after the territory merger battle declaration is issued. According to his current progress, as long as he maintains at least 11 hours of breathing practice a day, it is enough to advance to the bronze rank before the battle begins.

Of course, his "quick" Bronze Knight's real combat effectiveness is much worse than those of the Bronze Knights who have been trained hard. The gap in weapon skills alone cannot be made up in a short time.

But he is not a pure knight.

The talent [Infinite Desire] he possesses is currently very weak, and requires physical contact to activate it, and the upper limit of capacity is very low, only the amount of a battle qi.

But when he was promoted to the bronze rank, the situation would be very different.

At that time, [Infinite Desire] with stronger effect will have the possibility to be used in actual combat!

Of course, Roy's own action is the last resort. After all, if the talent of [Infinite Desire] can not be exposed to others, try not to expose it, otherwise it will be a troublesome thing to attract the temple to intervene.

Therefore, if you want to win this "territory merger battle", capture or kill Lord Denham, you must use other methods as much as possible.

As for this method, Roy has already started the layout.

In the room, a deep luster flashed in the depths of Roy's pupils.

……

Iron Mountain Territory, Iron Mountain Fortress.

In the study, Lord Denham listened to the news of "Iron Mountain Knight Captain Reid's strong attitude to expel him" reported by his subordinates who had sent the "Declaration of Territory Merger Battle", nodded expressionlessly, and then waved his hand to let him retreat. Down.

After the knight left the study, Lord Denham was about to do something when suddenly, his expression changed and he cast his eyes on the shadow in the corner of the room.

Chapter 26 The Eve of the Breakthrough

Under Lord Denham's gaze, the shadows rose up like a fluid, entangled and converged into a black-haired and black-eyed girl with a torn gap in her black tights.

——Shadow Witch Lilia.

"It seems you didn't succeed."

Lord Denham's tone was flat, neither enthusiastic nor indifferent, as if talking to a stranger.

At the same time, he took out the "Witch Controller" from his pocket without any hesitation. Once the Shadow Witch Lilia had any intention of doing anything to him, he would press the "Witch Controller" without hesitation. Device", detonating the control necklace on the neck of Vivienne, the Witch of Light.

Lord Denham's actions without concealing his intentions were naturally caught in Lilia's eyes, and she did not respond to this, because similar scenes would happen when she met Lord Denham during this period.

"'Golden Lion' Lamy's strength is stronger than the rumors, and he has an 'anti-hidden cross' on his body. I can't avoid him and sneak into the prison car."

Lilia clutched the wound on her ribs, and blood continued to seep from between her fingers, which made her already pale face even paler.

"Time is running out, and you have visited it before. Your sister, Vivienne, the Witch of Light, won't be able to last long. By then, she will really lose control. Don't blame me for handing her over to the temple."

Lord Denham said something indifferent.

"..." Lilia remained silent for a long time, and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "I'm going to see Vivian."

There was no reply, Lord Denham stood up directly and led the way ahead, while Lilia silently followed behind him.

All the way down, finally, the two came to the heavy metal door in the basement.

When the two guard knights saw Lord Denham, they saluted respectfully. As for the Shadow Witch Lilia who was following Lord Denham, they stared at Lilia as if they hadn't seen anything.

The heavy metal door opened slowly, and the huddled girl in the cage, who seemed to be trapped in a nightmare, was reflected in Lilia's dark pupils.

Lilia pursed her lips tightly and came to the edge of the cage, while Lord Denham stood at the entrance of the basement with a more cautious expression.

To him, witches are not to be trusted.

When she came to the cage and knelt down, Lilia saw her sister whose limbs were locked by thick chains in the cage, and also saw her frowning in pain.

Lilia could feel the stronger pollution aura on Vivian's body.

At the later stage of pollution, even if the witch no longer uses her natural ability, the pollution level will gradually deepen.

This feeling made the shadow witch Lilia feel more distressed, and at the same time, her hatred for Lord Denham grew deeper.

If Lord Denham hadn't held the "Witch Controller" and was bound to the "Witch Controller", once he died, the control necklace on Vivienne's neck would explode immediately, and she would have killed Denham long ago The lord rescued his sister.

As for the pursuit of the empire?

Haven't she experienced too many chases in these years?

I don't care anymore.

For her before, the only thing she cared about was her younger sister.

As for now...

The metal pillars of the cage with a cold luster reflected Lilia's dark pupils.

If someone looks at her closely and observes carefully, they will find that the swimming black lines in her pupils, which represent the degree of pollution, are insignificantly missing.
