Naturally, Archduke Fernandez would not expose his flaws easily. In fact, he did not need too many manpower to attack the granary.

One or two thousand people are enough. They are all private soldiers of the nobles, and they are led by knights trusted by the Grand Duke.

With so many people rushing in lightly, they will be discovered by Mega Man sooner or later.

But before discovery, the mission objective had been accomplished.

Archduke Fernandez specially chose a moonlit night, and he was led by local nobles from the St. Miles Province.

Getting around Rockman's camp went really smoothly.

There was basically no protection behind Mega Man. This lightly-armed force of two thousand men surged forward without any hindrance.

Under the leadership of the former local snake, we reached our destination in one day.

This granary happened to be the food storage point responsible for the southern nobles.

Needless to say more about the transactions involved.

And you are blameless. The southern nobles suffered serious losses as well.

At least on paper, the loss is not small.

but……

When the Holy Cross Kingdom's army rushed into the granary, they saw old, weak, sick and crooked people.

The weapons and armor are fully equipped, and they don't look like a group of useless soldiers.

Even the soldiers of the Holy Cross Kingdom, who were prepared for a tough battle, were stunned.

The entire granary seemed to have decent defense, but was as fragile as a layer of paper that broke with a pop.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The officer leading the team was not in a daze, he drove the soldiers and rushed in.

Coincidentally, a batch of grease is also stored here.

He killed the guarding soldiers and started setting fire directly.

Everything went as smoothly as the script.

However, the nobles leading the team knew that the most difficult part of this trip was not to attack the granary.

The hardest part is the return journey.

No matter how slow Mega Man's reaction was, he has now come to his senses.

With the fighting power shown by the opponent, the way back is very difficult.

There was a lot of grain and grease stored in the granary, and the fire soared into the sky and dyed half the sky red.

However, neither the Holy Cross nor the Southerners below knew that on the nearby hilltop, Derek was watching the show with a monocular telescope.

This pair of monocular telescopes was the product of his occasional thought. If there was no glass, crystal could still be obtained.

The biggest expense is the craftsmanship of the craftsmen.

After spending countless crystals, I finally came up with this suitable pair.

Derek has tested it, and the multiple is about six times, which is a relatively practical multiple.

Therefore, what happened in the granary at this time could not be hidden from his eyes.

Carefully handing the monocular to the eager Verut, Derek sneered: "These guys really put their best efforts into doing this, and their acting is quite realistic."

Not only is it lifelike, no one can see the flaws afterwards.

The dead people are real, and the burned food is also real.

The losses to the southern nobility were enough to make an earl bankrupt instantly.

Only when you are willing to let go of your children can you trap the wolf. This time, you really have to throw away your own son.

Virut used the monocular telescope with great interest. This magical object was simply a miracle in his eyes.

Naturally, His Excellency the Viscount, who can possess miracles, is simply a saint walking in the world.

Then, he saw the shameless behavior of the southern nobles.

To be honest, this young aristocratic young man had seen this method for the first time.

It even opened a new door for him. Can he still play like this?

Seeing that the Holy Cross Kingdom's army began to retreat, Derek asked for the telescope back.

"Okay, don't think about it, hurry up and deal with these rats. If you perform well enough, I will give you one as a gift someday."

"really?"

Virut jumped up happily. This thing was more tempting to him than a knight's collar.

"Seriously! Go ahead and let me see your progress and see if you can graduate."

Virut hurriedly led the team away. He didn't have many people at his disposal.

Acting... naturally has to be a bit like it.

The southern nobles and Archduke Fernandez set up a stage and tried to put on a big show to fool themselves, so don't blame yourself for forcing yourself on the stage and putting on a big show of your own.

In fact, Derek didn't take these two thousand people seriously. They were not qualified as real prey. They were just desserts before the meal.

The real drama is yet to come.

When the remnant soldiers who had fled in embarrassment were defeated and returned to the camp, Fernandez laughed openly and heartily.

Two thousand elites are nothing, he can afford to pay ten times as much.

The important thing is that the other party's food is affected.

Maybe you won't be able to see it in the short term, but as time goes by, we'll see what the other party can do.

Moreover, military morale is fluctuating.

Knowing that the food is gone, can you really survive until the day when the food is gone?

Archduke Fernandez was so excited that he mobilized his troops to challenge for the first time.

Then...he was taught a lesson again.

But this time he was not unhappy at all, but rather excited.

"What's the use of brute force and courage? The reason why noble blood is noble is at this moment."

Archduke Fernandez was in high spirits. He had already seen his holy feather flag flying over the province of St. Maitreya.

The surname Fernandez will forever be associated with the people of this land.

The nobles who learned the latest news also had high morale. They did not expect that the Grand Duke would do such a big thing without saying a word.

"As expected, he is a noble bloodline of the Bruno family. He was able to achieve astonishing results when he led an army for the first time. I am afraid that great battles like this will be unavoidable in the history of war in the future."

"Archduke Fernandez will surely be able to revive the glory of the Holy Cross and take down the northern province of the Rockman in one fell swoop."

"Your Excellency the Archduke will live forever."

In the face of interests, the nobles all kinds of disgusting flattery came out.

As vassals who followed Archduke Fernandez eastward, if His Excellency the Archduke eats meat, everyone can also drink soup.

And many people really think that the Archduke's record is strong and can revive the glory of the Holy Cross Kingdom.

Under victory, there are no discordant voices.

The victor is not blamed.

Archduke Fernandez is also a little erratic, and no one can ignore the voices of the outside world.

However, he still has a trace of calmness, and still exhorts: "The dawn of victory has been seen, and now you must keep an eye on the prey in front of you. When my sharp arrow flies, it will be the death of Rockman."

Now, it's time to harvest.

For the next three days, Rockman was like crazy and provoked like crazy, and even attacked the camp several times at night.

The Holy Cross Kingdom army, which had more people, actually shrank its head tightly.

But this time, everyone knew that the enemy was about to run out of food, and this was the last madness, so morale was not only not affected, but even higher.

Until the fourth night, the familiar sound of war drums sounded from time to time.

But suddenly a scout found some traces of Rockman.

It seems...some Rockman have been running away recently?

The next day, Archduke Fernandez saw the sparse smoke from the Rockman camp and suddenly realized that something was wrong.

"The Rockman ran away?"

He had also heard about the incident in which Count Connor was discovered because of the stove, which was very similar to what happened now.

And the number of Rockman who came to provoke today was much less?

"Send someone to test and see if the Rockman is still there."
