Warlords: Rise From the Land of Doom

"Your Excellency Narant, the Count said that he hoped that the sergeants who participated in the competition would prepare well, because this birthday celebration is very grand, and guests from other territories of the Principality will come to participate, including many descendants of the great nobles!"

Seeing that Narant read the invitation, Piri added a sentence in a timely manner.

Such a birthday party has not been held for several years.

Stella has been studying at the Royal Capital Academy for the past two years, so this time the count is going to hold a grand celebration.

The list of invitations includes all the nobles and nobles of the Principality. As long as the nobles have friendship with the Tulip family, they will receive invitations.

"Well, I see! You go down with the servant to rest for a while, it's been a long journey!" Narant nodded and took the information in his heart.

He understood what the count meant by this special explanation.

The competition of their second sons was considered a competition for sons-in-law. This time, they naturally had to try their best to show their performance at this banquet.

Otherwise, it would be embarrassing for the Tulip Family. After all, after the Tulip Family revealed the news some time ago, the entire Principality was in an uproar and there was a lot of discussion.

And it's not just the second sons of the vassals who are greedy for Stella, the descendants of the great nobles are even more greedy than them.

Because even if these vassals really become Stella's husbands, they will only get limited benefits, and the Tulip family is still surnamed Tulip.

But if the descendants of the great nobles get the tulip flower, they have the ability to slowly change the surname of the tulip, and then acquire all the wealth of the tulip family.

Of course, although Narant wants to fight on his own, he has to do all the superficial work. Otherwise, the counts have specially explained that you are not ready yet. Don't talk about the title, you are guaranteed to be wearing small shoes.

……

Time passed by day by day. Although he learned that Stella's birthday would be a month later, Narant had no time to think about it for the time being, because he needed to get over the immediate crisis first.

These days, Storm Collar seems calm on the surface, but Narant is also working hard to prepare.

For example, outside Maiye Village at this time, wooden arrow towers rose from the ground.

These arrow towers are not high, only seven or eight meters, but they are very reliable.

Each arrow tower is supported by three wooden stakes with a diameter of fifty centimeters, and a platform above can be used by two longbowmen at the same time.

"Tsk tsk! Narant, you are too wasteful! Such a strong arrow tower is built on the edge of this village, you might as well build it on the edge of the territory, and then you only need to insert a wooden wall around it, it can become a defense. It's a kind of camp!"

Seeing the seven towers in total, Boris couldn't help but tut. Although the construction of wooden towers doesn't cost much material resources, manpower is necessary.

After all, it takes at least dozens of people to move a tree stump that is more than ten meters long and fifty centimeters thick.

"Boris, you also know that my guards are only more than 20 people, so there is no plan to build a camp on the edge of the territory for the time being!"

Boris arrived yesterday evening, because the night of the meteors is tomorrow, so Narant claimed that in order to allow Boris's men to better participate in the exercise, they will temporarily rest and refresh themselves today.

Naturally, Boris has no objection to this. Narant provides food and drink anyway.

And taking advantage of today's time, Narant also took Boris to check the 'venue' he had prepared for the exercise.

The arrow tower in Maiye Village is one of the 'practice venues'.

In addition to the arrow tower, there are trenches more than two meters deep on the periphery, and only a wooden bridge can approach the arrow tower.

"Also, you forgot, I captured some barbarians last time, so it's very easy to let them do these rough jobs!"

"Almost forgot! Your Excellency Narant, what's going on with the barbarians, and how many are there! Last time I was about to set off with the team!" Boris' attention was immediately taken away when he heard the word barbarian. transfer.

"The number of barbarians is more than a hundred!" This matter could not be concealed, and Narant was not going to conceal it, so he said it immediately.

"What, more than a hundred barbarians, how did you defeat them, Narant!"

Boris's eyes widened. He thought that there were at most twenty or thirty barbarians. Even such a number would be a life-and-death crisis for the Storm Territory. Now he heard that there were more than a hundred people. He thought Narant was joking, but Narant was joking. Rand's expression was so serious.

"Actually, it's not my victory. You know that barbarian heads are not very easy to use, so I used a little trick." Narant smiled slightly, "My storm collar is connected to the sea, so the beach is There are a large number of murloc sea monsters, I will lead the barbarians there, and let the murloc sea monsters and barbarians fight..."

Narant deliberately concealed the matter of the slippery flying fish, which can sometimes be used as a secret weapon, so the fewer people who know about it, the better.

"This... Narant, you are so wise!"

Boris was even more shocked than before. He never thought that he could deal with savages like this.

Of course, although Narant said it was simple, he also knew that there must be a comprehensive plan, otherwise the barbarians would not be stupid, and they would definitely turn their heads and run away when they saw the fish-men and sea monsters!

So Boris really gave Narant a high look at this time.

In the past, Narant was a lucky and enviable neighbor in his heart, and now it seems that he has to add a bold motto.

"Boris~www.readwn.com~ Don't praise me! It's just good luck, otherwise I wouldn't have sent someone to ask you for help!" Narant said modestly, "Let's go! Boris, I'll take you to the field at the edge of the fire forest to check it out!"

Afterwards, Narant took Boris directly to the edge of the Fire Forest, where it borders Quint Territory.

At this time, the dense forest nearby had been emptied.

Originally, the place to stay here was only a few meters wide on a dirt road, but now it is the size of several football fields.

Moreover, these cleared forests are not only in Narant's territory, but even the buffer zone has been cleared up to the edge of the Quint Baron.

So, standing on Narant's territory now, you can directly see Quint's territory on the opposite side.

Of course, when he cleaned up the trees, Narant did it secretly. After all, he sent someone close to Quint's buffer zone operation, which was considered a violation of the unspoken rules.

When Quint found out the day before yesterday, Narant had already completed the cleaning, but only cut down some trees, so Quint has not negotiated with him for the time being.

"Boris, this is the second 'site' I have prepared for the exercise. For this reason, I cut down a lot of trees in the buffer zone. When we exercise, the people of Quint will be able to see it directly. "

Narant pointed to the open space in the buffer zone and explained to Boris.

"Well, Narant, you really thought it through!" Boris knew that Narant wanted to show Quint his muscles and his ally.

So there is no surprise to Narant's actions.

After all, showing strength always has to be seen by the other party. If there are trees in the middle blocking the line of sight, it is different from winking at the blind.
