Although the southern continent is more barren and cold than the northern continent because of the climate and environment, this is only relative to the air flow environment of the whole continent. In fact, in the southern continent itself, there are also places with their own characteristics, such as fertile water and soil, or beautiful scenery.

Like the hinterland of the Ryan Kingdom, that is, the clan territory of the Finlistin family, although it is a complex terrain with many mountains and forests, in fact, this territory can also be regarded as a territory rich in resources, especially mineral resources and prey resources. Of course, it is a pity that the mineral resources in the territory are not more precious, and they rely entirely on the large export volume to maintain the entire income.

In the Finlistin territory, there is a man-made lake with an extremely large area called Night View Lake.

This lake is a huge artificial lake that the Finlistine family spent hundreds of years digging and excavating, and in order to show the financial resources of the Finlistin family, the bottom of this artificial lake is covered with a precious stone called water moon stone. This kind of stone will emit a white glow similar to moonlight as long as it is in a dark place, and it looks like a cold and beautiful feeling, and with the clear water of the Night View Lake, this Night View Lake has become the most beautiful place in the Finlistin family's territory.

Located next to the Night View Lake, there is a castle with a luxurious shape.

This is the whole of Lane's famous Finlistine Castle.

The castle was not used for war, but was purely a high-spectacle castle similar to a holiday use. At the back of the castle, there is a dock that connects to the night lake. There are more than a dozen boats parked here that are mainly beautifully shaped, and at this time, several people walked down from the second floor of the castle. Then board the largest boat, the ferryman gently unleashes the ropes, then holds on to the pole and begins to rock the boat out.

The boats paddled across the water, creating ripples, and the ripples made the white glow reflected in the night lake even more charming.

This small boat, which can accommodate seven people in a small boat not counting the gondoliers, is only four at this time.

Every morning, we will cruise to the center of the lake at night for breakfast. It is the habit of the patriarch of the current generation of the Finlistine family. And the boatman who rocked the boat for him every time was a henchman who had followed him for many years, but it was a pity that this henchman would probably stop at the half-step Sanctuary in this life - the lack of personal high-end combat power has always been the biggest regret and helplessness of the Finlistin family.

Not counting the boatman and the patriarch of the Finlistine family. Brans. Finlistine, the other three who are eligible to board the ship, are the two Finlistin family staff members who have been hired by Brans with a lot of money, and a veteran of the battlefield who has been following Brans since he was young, Milane. Seriffins.

As one of Brans's two confidants. The veteran is now in his forties. Unlike the boatman, the number one thug, his greatest contribution is his ability to command on the battlefield. At that time, the Finlistine family had several foreign wars and conflicts and battles with the lords of the surrounding territories, all of which were won under his command, but with the increase of years in recent years, the energy was no longer at the peak of life as it had been for more than ten years, so he gradually retired from the first-line stage of the Finlistine family.

However, even if he retires from the front line, the value of his existence is still very significant. Because several young and outstanding generals who are now active in the front line of the military affairs of the Finlistin family are also his protégés.

As for the two staff members. One was an instructor of court literature in the former Kingdom of Hales. Although it is not the top five, it can be invited to teach at the court of Hales. It can be seen that his skills are also convincing enough, but he was persecuted because he offended a prince of Hales and finally had to flee the kingdom of Hales, and now he is in charge of etiquette, literature, and other lecturers in the Finlistin family to shape the outlook on life, values, and worldview.

The other is in charge of the government affairs related to the entire Fenlistine clan. It can be said that it only took twenty years for the Finlistin family to permanently occupy a place in the ranks of the upper nobles of Lane, and has the confidence and heritage to be comparable to the current seven dukes of the Lane Kingdom.

Without the advice of this staff member named Luo Du over the years, then no matter how powerful Milane is, he would not be able to create a legion like the Gray Wolf Blade, let alone allow the Finlistin family to have a strong force enough to overwhelm their opponents in many foreign wars. The combination of these two people is somewhat equivalent to the combination of William and Neil, but in terms of strength level, it is slightly inferior to those two void giants.

But in the foreseeable future, the Fenlistin family, which has these two people, even if it can't become a duke in Brans's generation, then his next generation can definitely become the eighth duke of Ryan.

"What do you think?" Brans handed a document to Rodo, who gave it a brief glance and handed it to his fellow staff member, before finally reaching Milane's hand.

In this extremely private meeting, the former Hales's court literature instructor, who was originally in charge of teaching the literature of the Finlistine family, was not qualified to attend, after all, it was not his area of expertise, but Brans invited the lecturer over to show his respect for him. Of course, the person who can become a court lecturer is naturally very smart, and he knows his identity very well, so he will only listen and watch today's meeting, but he will not speak.

"Expected." Milane said lightly, now over forty years old, he is no longer as strong and energetic as ten years ago, and his temples have even begun to turn white, but at this time, sitting in a small boat gives people the feeling that it is still as sharp as a sheathed sword, "I didn't expect to be able to successfully take down Sean and them with only three gray wolf rangers, if it was really so easy to take it, then it would have been time to end the battle as early as Hakons, and there would be no need for me to make a move." ”

"The losses of the three Gray Wolf Rangers are not to be mentioned for the time being, but they directly buried ten Shadow Wolves and an entire Gray Wolf Blade formation. Doesn't that feel like a big loss? Luo Du's brows furrowed slightly, obviously this loss made him feel a little painful, "Although every battle over the years when the Gray Wolf Blade was dispatched was almost to the point of almost withdrawing. But this time we were dealing with only a few people, and it was completely different from the previous battles, and this loss was ......."

"Expected." Milain took Rhodo's words, and then continued, "Through the loss of ten shadow wolves and a gray wolf blade formation, as well as the report of the beast afterwards, I have roughly understood the strength of that thunder Valkyrie. The next shot, even if it can't kill her, is enough to hit her hard. …… Fight against the strong, trust me. I'm far more experienced than you. ”

"I still think it's too much of a loss." Luo Du shook his head, "The strong people we have cultivated with great difficulty over the years are not used for this kind of internal friction. And when the time comes, as long as the royal family asks us to stop this kind of internal friction, then we will steal chickens instead of a handful of rice. Only with the current losses. We need to recuperate for almost five years before we recover. ”

"You're miscalculated." Mirien glanced at his old partner, who had always worked well with him. Then he spoke, "The Gray Wolf Blade will soon no longer belong to us, and the royal family's requisition order will be issued soon, so all the losses of the Gray Wolf Blade this time have nothing to do with us, we are just squeezing the last remaining value of this army, so even if the Gray Wolf Blade is once again consumed to the extent of revoking the number, we don't need to pay for it." ”

"Even so, the loss of the strong ......"

"It's really a problem." Listening to the argument between the two, the patriarch of the Fenlistine family who had not spoken. Brans. Finlistine finally spoke at this time. "The sacrifices of Donkey Kong and Penrose were not also expected by you?"

"It's not." Milane shook his head, "I sent out as bait, only ten shadow wolves and that formation. The beasts' unauthorized attack actually disrupted my plan a bit, but according to the report afterwards, it was a bit of a benefit, at least for the one named Rena and the two elves to have a more accurate assessment of the battle. …… So the sacrifice of the two of them is not worthless. ”

"If we continue to fight with them, how many Golden Realm powerhouses will we lose, can we make a detailed assessment?"

"Five at least." Milain thought for a moment before he said, "I mean I'm chasing the three of the Thunder Valkyries, not the lord. …… However, this point does not need to be borne by our Fenlistin family, but will be divided equally by other families, so that each family will lose one stronger person on average. ”

"Where's the harvest?" Brans continued.

Almost without thinking about it, Milane spoke in a deep voice: "The best result is to capture all three strong men under the command of Duke Sean, and whether they are willing to surrender is another matter." And the worst result is that these three people are unwilling to surrender and blindly fight to the death, then we can only kill the three of them on the spot, otherwise the losses will only further expand. ”

"Will you get the results in two days?"

"With the authority I have now, it's hard." Milane said honestly.

"You only have two days at most, and then our transfer of the Gray Wolf Blade will be exposed, and no matter what attitude the royal family has, we will not be allowed to continue to use the Gray Wolf Blade. Moreover, if the attitude of the royal family is biased in favor of the Void Duke, then we will be in even greater trouble, so give me a result in two days, can you do it? Brans looked serious and asked in a deep voice, "Until then, no matter what resources you need, Rodu and Ferns will give you all the support." ”

"If Lord Ferns can help, then I'll be much more sure." Milane said with a smile, and when he heard his name appear in this conversation, the boatman couldn't help but glance over here, only to see Blans nod heavily, "But I still have a question." ”

"What's the problem?"

"The Thunder Lion has taken a stronghold under Nodarab and has begun a formal invasion of our territory, annihilating both local garrisons along the way."

Hearing this, Brans's face changed suddenly, and he looked extremely incredulous: "This is...... When was this? Why haven't there been any reports before? ”

"What happened last night." Brans's face was no longer as relaxed as before, "It's not clear how the enemy infiltrated and entered. But what is known so far is that this time the Void Leader is not only dispatched by the Thunder Lion, but even the Scarlet Knights are dispatched together. ”

The three main forces under Sean are the Thunder Lion commanded by Alfred. The Iron Wings commanded by Anno and the Cecilia Guards commanded by Clov. These three legions, which were extremely active in the Southern Theater of War against Dabiang at the beginning, have naturally become a powerful army that is familiar to the entire Ryan and even the surrounding neighboring countries, and their popularity is not even below Asuna's Thundering Edge, the Iron Guards of the Sabo family, and the Holy Wall Legion of the Evans family.

Even many Ryan nobles and famous generals of Ryan were privately discussing that if Sean didn't have these three powerful legions, the Southern Theater would not have been able to calm him down at all. Of course, if any nobleman had these three legions, they would also be able to pacify the entire southern theater of operations. Even its achievements are better than Sean. Connery, the Duke of the Void, is higher.

Therefore, when he heard the dispatch of the Thunder Lion, even Brans's face inevitably changed drastically.

As for the Crimson Knights. This unit was the Order of Knights that was reported by Sean to the Lane Military Department for filing after the end of the war. The nobles of Ryan knew very little about this order, but they knew one thing very well, since it could be called the army of the order. Then the combat effectiveness naturally has to have a certain guarantee. Moreover, it is said that the people of the Lane Military Department immediately recognized the identity of this knight order after conducting an assessment, which shows that this is definitely a genuine knight order.

Today, Ryan has two knightly orders, namely the Scarlet Knights and the Holy Roman Knights.

Of course, the command is not in the hands of the Ryan military department and the royal family, but even so, the existence of these two knights is already a powerful existence that cannot be ignored. There are even rumors that the royal family is also preparing to form a knightly order, after all, after the current Ryan annexed Dabiang. It already has the size of a second-class kingdom, so if it doesn't match it in terms of national strength. Then the kingdom of Lane will be reduced to fat in the eyes of others.

The use of the Scarlet Knights and the Thunder Lion, two famous legion units of the Void Leader, shows that Sean was not completely defenseless from the beginning.

As a result, everyone couldn't help but start thinking about a question: how did these two legions hide the entire Ryan from infiltrating without knowing it? And at this time, it was not long before the end of the war, and the Thunder Lion was said to have suffered heavy losses in the war in the Southern Theater of Operations, and now how did it regain its full strength? Where did their soldiers come from?

These are the secrets that many nobles of Ryan are eager to know.

"What's going on now?" Brans asked eagerly.

"According to the urgent military report I just received, Beiluo Town and the surrounding areas have completely fallen at dawn this morning, and the three hundred patrol troops stationed in the vicinity of Beiluo Town have all been wiped out, and the Thunder Lion Legion of the Void Leader has established a defensive base in the area of Beiluo Town, echoing the Gray Town of Viscount Nodara, and has opened a perfect logistics supply route, and the specific strength is unknown for the time being." Millaine handed a military intelligence report to Brans, who looked at the report, and his face gradually became more difficult to look at, "As for the Crimson Knights, they are only staying in the town of North Luo, as of the time I receive this military report, this Knights have gone north again, I guess their destination should be the White Dream Forest, and they will arrive tonight at the latest." ”

"Can you stop the advance of this order?"

"With the current situation in our territory, I'm afraid not." Milane shook his head regretfully, "If we insist on blocking the progress of this knight order, then we will be hindered in the operation against Duke Sean, and the final result is likely to lead to a smooth convergence of Duke Sean and the enemy army, and all the sacrifices and efforts we made last night will be completely wasted." ”

"Is it hard to ride a tiger...... Brans smiled bitterly, "Looks like whose plan do you think it will be?" ”

"I haven't fought head-to-head, so it's hard to speculate." Mirien shook his head, "But it is certain that the other party's layout ability is above mine, because from the current situation, it is obvious that the other party has already begun to lay out from the time Duke Sean went to the royal capital this time, otherwise it would be impossible for us to just make a move, and the Thunder Lion and the Scarlet Knights will appear immediately." ”

"Are you sure you can deal with them?"

"War has never been based on who laid out first, and in many cases, it also depends on the command ability and level of the actual combat generals." Milane sneered, and there was a look of arrogance in his words, but as a veteran of the Finlistin family, he did have this kind of arrogance, "The Scarlet Knights will definitely not choose to fight, but will rush to the aid of their lord as quickly as possible, which is an opportunity we can take advantage of." …… It's just that your losses may be greater than we estimated before, and how much more will depend on the speed of reinforcements from the Silent Mountains and the level of the commander. ”

"What if I could fight for command of the Silent Mountains for you?"

"Reckless?"

"No matter what it takes!"

"As long as the command of the Gray Wolf Blade is still in my hands, and with the Silent Mountains, I am sure that I can completely eat the entire Scarlet Knights or more than half of the Thunder Lion."

"Tomorrow, the Silent Mountains will arrive, and I will go and fight for the command of the Silent Mountains now!" (To be continued......)
