7. Uninvited guests
The change in Mordg's collar was completely unexpected by Sean.
Sean doesn't know what the history of the game was back then, but the only thing that is certain is that there were definitely no names like Elsie and Castelodi among the best people in the Boulder family at that time. Old Duke Hatch can be regarded as a powerful and stable NPC, and he has a place among the four new Marquis of the Boulder family after the Duchy of Ryan defeated the Kingdom of Dabiang.
Sean sighed helplessly, if he was still in the game at this time, it would be good, he could find someone to discuss many things, instead of thinking about it alone like now. In this world, Sean has always felt that his most advantageous ability is to be able to know the future changes in the situation, but most of these changes are changes in the overall situation, and the scale of a small fight like the current one is really a little powerless.
That night, after Sean asked the old dog to finish talking, he left with Alfred and Rena immediately.
This time, when he went out of the town gate of Blackstone Town, Sean and the others did not dismount, he just said a word to break the door, and Alfred directly smashed the high wall of the town gate with a halberd, and several soldiers who tried to stop Sean and others were cleaned up by Rena with a shot, and then the three of them left in the dust, domineering and a mess.
At nightfall, Sean did not continue to walk, but slept in a wooded area with Alfred and Rena.
In this forest, there used to be the Black Rock Land Walking Dragon, so when sleeping here, Sean and the others were still quite careful. He specifically instructed Rena not to make too much noise when she went to get food, and if there was really no game to catch, just pick some juicy fruits.
Time. The only ones left around the campfire were Sean and Alfred.
"If there's anything you want to say, just say it." Sean fiddled with the fire to keep it up, looked at Alfred, who wanted to stop talking, and said softly.
"Are you really going to war with the Mordg Lord?" Alfred asked in a low voice.
"You don't think it's good?" Sean laughed.
"The situation in our territory has just been calmed down, and if a war starts at this time, not to mention the problem of military rations, even the problem of military strength is also insufficient." Alfred is still the same thick appearance as before, and it has not been because of successive victories and increased prestige. It became arrogant or arrogant, "The steel wings have fought all the way, and the strength can be affirmed, but now even if it is fully staffed, it is only 3,000 people, and it is naturally impossible for the militia regiment to go to the battlefield." If ......"
"Are you worried about the other three territories that border the Panda Territory?" Sean added the second half of the sentence for Alfred.
"Yes." Alfred nodded, not denying his concern. "These three territories are all just viscounties. I was also disabled by Asuna before, but it has been nearly two years, and it is impossible that there is no development, and if we suddenly send troops to attack at this time, we are likely to lose more than we gain. …… Moreover, I have heard that this Boulder family is also a large family in the kingdom of Dabion. Even if Mordeg doesn't have any troops in the territory now, they won't be able to let our army occupy it. ”
"I know all of this." Sean said calmly, "But Elsie is my friend, and it's impossible for me to ignore it. ”
Alfred was slightly stunned. Then he smiled bitterly: "I thought you were just making excuses before." ”
Sean smiled, "Am I that unbearable?" ”
"I heard that your bet with Marquis Asuna is about two years." Alfred spoke.
Sean was slightly stunned, then smiled: "Yes, there is still a year and a half." …… The matter of the Mordeg Collar is not in my plan, but if I don't do it, I am indeed uneasy. So I just came up with a plan to get the best of both worlds. ”
"What's the strategy?"
"Borrowed soldiers." Sean said casually.
"You're going to borrow troops from Asuna?" Alfred looked surprised.
"The territory of the Mordeg Territory is just an enclave for the Boulder family, and it is extremely difficult for them to reinforce it, and in the eyes of the Boulder family, the only value of this territory is the stone factory, but the mining rights of the raw materials required are in the hands of Asuna, with the face and attitude of the Boulder family, of course, it is impossible to go to Asuna for mining rights in a low voice, so this territory is of almost no value to them."
As Shaun said this, he drew a circle on the ground with the branch in his hand, then split the circle in half with a stroke, and then drew a prominent triangle on this horizontal line, and said, "But if this territory falls into the hands of the Duchy of Lane, then the situation will be completely different. …… For Asuna, this is not an enclave, but a strategic territory that can be used as a base for advancement, and with this territory as the foundation, all the territories around the kingdom of Dabion will have trouble sleeping, because no one knows if Asuna will suddenly raise troops to attack them. ”
Staring at the circular drawing on the ground, Alfred's brow furrowed slightly. After all, he has also been a regiment commander, and he has several personal command and combat experience, so even if he is not as strong as William in terms of strategic vision and tactical ability, but after being analyzed by Sean like this, he can still understand the strategic significance it represents: "No wonder you dare to say such a thing as stepping on the Mordeg Collar." ”
"Asuna's strategy may be lower than William's, but in terms of dealing with people, William is definitely not comparable." Sean said in a deep voice, not denying his true intentions, "So if it is to take the Mordeg Territory, Asuna will definitely do her best to support, I guess this time she will be Elizabeth or Simi if she is not personally leading the troops, and it is likely to pull the Thundering Edge into battle." ”
Speaking of this, Sean showed a sneer: "I don't believe that the Boulder family would dare to send reinforcements after seeing such a lineup." ”
"If we really planned to go to war, then we wouldn't have dared to let that old man live before." Alfred frowned slightly.
"Do you think I want him alive? I can't kill it. Sean smiled helplessly.
If he was really able to kill a high-ranking silver, when did Sean relent? In the Tony Fortress, in the face of two lower silver, he said kill and kill, even if the commander of the Seventh Legion came forward in person, Sean had no intention of showing mercy. In the face of the master of the upper silver, if he was really prepared, Rena and Alfred could only fight a draw if they joined forces, although if the three of them joined forces, they could also kill each other, but this was based on the situation that Sean played all the hole cards, otherwise with the adrenal stimulation that he could only support for three minutes, how could it be possible to fight a protracted battle with the old man.
And if the old man really wanted to run, except for Sean, Rena and Alfred couldn't catch up - a straight line was no problem, and the upper silver would run faster than the average war horse, but if they didn't take the usual path, Rena and Alfred would really be powerless.
Hearing Sean's wry laughter, Alfred thought about it for a while, and then understood that the upper silver was indeed not as simple as they could kill if they wanted to. He has always felt that Sean is a little omnipotent, so he ignores that Sean is only the strength of the upper bronze now, but this person who obviously does not even have the strength of the lower silver can give countless people a headache, which is really a very incredible thing for Alfred.
I don't know if he can become a high-ranking silver in the future, will he be able to feel a headache even if he is a high-ranking gold?
Alfred thought with some wickedness.
This is also his rare bad heart.
After a while, there was the sound of footsteps in the forest, and Rena's armor was covered with all kinds of leaves and broken branches, and she looked unusually embarrassed. But in her hand, she dragged an unusually strong wild wolf out. This wild wolf doesn't look like a lone wolf, Sean estimates that it should be the head wolf of a wolf pack, but such a wild wolf is just a beast after all, as long as it is not a monster, it is useless to face a master like Reina.
But seeing Rena's embarrassed appearance, it must not be an easy job to capture this wild wolf just now.
The next work such as peeling, racking, and cleaning the internal organs was naturally handled by the two old mercenaries, Rena and Alfred, and Sean had never been very good at cooking, so he also worked on the side. For a lord, this kind of thing is naturally quite cheap, but Sean is very happy to do it, but I don't know if it is because of system limitations or other reasons, in short, Sean even if he follows those chefs to cook step by step, the things cooked are just as difficult to swallow.
So in Sean's territory, a while ago there was a very popular punishment game, whoever loses goes to Sean to ask for some food he cooks with his own hands. It is said that the militia of White Pigeon Town was forced to try the food cooked by Sean after losing to the Red Leaf Town militia last time, and the next day these guys began to practice desperately like crazy. It's just that Sean doesn't know these ways, and he thinks that his cooking skills are so good that he is very happy.
When the aroma of barbecue slowly spread in the woods, Sean was the one who couldn't wait, and immediately pulled a big leg of meat down and began to eat it.
Seeing that Sean was so unruly, how could Rena and Alfred tell him what rules, so the three of them began to fight for the wolf. Fortunately, Sean and Alfred also knew about Rena's hard work, so in general, the two of them were fighting each other, but they kept most of the meat for Rena.
The scramble is not over, but the most unpopular uninvited guest has come suddenly. (To be continued.) )
PS: I'm really tired today, I'm very tired, and I insist on coming up with a chapter. …… I have something to do tomorrow, so I'll go and rest first.
