Chapter 420. Panic in the East Counties
The Eastern Commander was trembling in fear.
On the rugged road, a new, unfamiliar face was advancing, unswervingly advancing in the direction of the Death Mountain, making the nobles, squires, and merchants along the way tremble with fear.
Such an elite unit, such a strong combat soldier, just by looking at it, you know that this is an elite!
Able to destroy the elite troops of the East County Lord!
Along the farms and villages along the way, the wealthy people who heard the news fled one after another.
Even ordinary civilians were shivering and hiding in their cellars, and most of the militia that had been trained and could be organized at all times were recruited to serve as the guards of the rich.
All that can be relocated is gone, after all, this army of more than 6,000 people, it is difficult to distinguish between good and evil.
No one knows if there will be a tragic war.
And right in the middle of the war.
Those villages and squires and landlords were undoubtedly also the ones who were devastated.
Even those caravans with high circulation, when they encountered this terrifying army marching, they all timidly threw down the caravan, regardless of the goods, and fled in a smoke, not daring to face it at all.
The entire Dongjun Territory was caught in a kind of wolf coming.
It's just that they quickly found out.
This force did not do too much.
Even resting next to the village only ordered the villagers to take care of their children and livestock, and not to get as close as they did to the camp, and even if some naughty and unafraid children got too close, the punishment was a reprimand, rather than the feared whips of the nobles, and on the whole it was particularly kind.
Even passing by the mining villages of some knight lords, it can be said that there is no offense, and along the way, although the reputation has become more and more famous, the prestige has also increased to a certain peak.
After all, the transit of an army of this magnitude is extraordinary.
Even if it's the local troops of the Lion Principality.
If you pass through certain villages, you have to extort a lot of silver coins, and as for stealing chickens and dogs, it is even more likely, and even after the army has become larger, it is possible to loot the entire village.
Not to mention the wealthy landlords and squires, as well as the merchants who had a lot of goods at all times.
But now.
The troops were amazed as they passed.
Not only the commoners, but also the landlords and merchants, as well as the nobles, were secretly amazed.
At the same time, I was even more curious about the belonging of this strange army, but soon news spread, after all, it was not a secret that the Dark Red Sect went to the west of the East County Territory to carry out military activities.
As for the attacker who was Kant, who had just left the eastern county not long ago, everyone already knew it in their hearts.
I understand better.
Why did this tough army go to the Death Penalty Mountain.
Because the current Dongjun Lord, as long as there is a little level, who doesn't know that the real person in power is no longer the Countess Agasha who is cowering in the Dongjun City, but the Viscount Gibran who is in charge of the Dark Red Sect.
It once caused a storm in the Lion Principality, and even the Silver Plate Kingdom, and the entire human kingdom.
A new sect formed by the remnants of the Demon Cult.
The Dark Red Sect.
Since Kant led this army to the Death Mountain, there is naturally no need to say much, if it is not to carry out a tragic attack, it is absolutely impossible, after all, the troops are crossing, there is absolutely no reason to return empty-handed.
Only military merit is everything, and the dark red sect of Death Mountain is in danger.
But more aristocrats were secretly frightened.
Frightened!
The origin of Kant's forces made them think about it.
From the banks of the Resniston River, the powerful troops that mysteriously appeared were more than half a month away from the Naren Desert, and since it could not be the troops of the Naren Desert, there might be only another explanation.
The original princess Sophia, the mother of Baron Kant, left behind!
Or rather.
It's the troops of the Silverpan Kingdom!
It is only this circumstance that can explain the current situation.
Otherwise, these nobles who are still in the dark have no way to explain where these troops who mysteriously appeared around Baron Kant come from, where they lurked, and suddenly appeared!
After all, in their impressions, they could not imagine that Kant would have countless worlds to support him!
These nobles did not dare to move at will.
Just call up the troops.
Urgently close all doors to the outside world.
Or they can group up with each other and organize a militia force that seems to be barely qualified to protect themselves, and at the same time contact the surrounding nobles to form an offensive and defensive alliance, and carefully arrange their own defenses first.
They are neutral and have no intention of supporting or offending anyone.
Leave Kant's forces to transit within their domains.
It's like you can't see it.
also allowed the Dark Red Sect to urgently mobilize the shadows it had arranged, and dispatched the developed believers to the Death Penalty Mountain to set up defenses.
The two sides have torn their faces, and the only reason why they did not go to war was that Kant had not yet reached their destination, and the crazy cultists on the Death Penalty Mountain had not yet issued their weapons, and they were all integrated and reorganized into combat effectiveness.
It is foreseeable that when Kant's forces reach the Death Penalty Mountain, everything will cease to exist.
The war will begin on the most famous mountain in the Eastern Counties.
It's just that.
The Scarlet Sect is confident in this.
The former famous general of the Eastern County, and now the head of the Dark Red Sect, Viscount Gibran is ready.
He used to be a serious military aristocrat, standing out from a series of blood and fire, even in the crazy and stubborn dark red sect, he was the only qualified and capable leader to serve as the leader of the sect and military leadership.
For Kant, the guy who inadvertently suffered a big loss and could only helplessly reveal his true identity.
There was a hint of anger in his heart.
It's crazy.
According to his plan, he still has at least 3 years to be exposed.
At that time, the nobles of the entire Eastern County Territory will be infiltrated by the Dark Red Sect, and he has already contacted some of the top nobles of the Southern County Territory, and then the Eastern County Territory will all be under his control.
Although I also have to share part of the benefits to those greedy guys in the southern county territory.
But Gibran didn't care.
The Great Being stands behind him.
It is a legendary supreme creature, an existence that can compete with the state religion of the Duchy of Lion, the god of war, Aemond!
When the time comes, let alone the Lion Principality, even if it is the Silver Plate Kingdom, he will be fearless, because after mastering most of the resources of the Eastern County Territory, that supreme existence will be able to resurrect the war and let him gain absolute power.
Feel the power of the knight who is now far greater, and think of the terrifying existence of the legend.
Gibran couldn't help but shudder.
It's exciting.
Craving.
Crazy want to have mentality.
As for Kant, this little guy, he is actually extremely disdainful, and even a little ridiculed, and when he reaches the Death Penalty Mountain, the battle group composed of those crazy disciples will be able to solve the problem.
