275. Two choices
The climate of the Miracle Continent is somewhat different from that of the Earth.
At least it's very different from Sean's impression of the environment in which he lives.
In the Miracle Continent, winters in the south are particularly cold, especially at night. On the contrary, the north is quite warm as spring all year round, even if it is a big winter, it is as cool as autumn, and it does not make people feel cold.
At this moment, in a fort in Yederby, the old Baron Mornes was sitting in his study, sipping a cup of coffee with a pleasant face.
Half a month ago, he was still panicking about the upcoming attack on Sean, but now, that notice letter has long been treated as waste paper by him and he doesn't know where to throw it. He suddenly felt that perhaps because he was old, he had become timid, and even began to be cautious in his workβof course, he also knew that this was just an excuse for himself to comfort himself, and in the eyes of his son, he had become a little forward-looking.
A lord who has lost his aggressiveness and vigor is no longer very suitable for managing a territory.
"Bang bang."
Just as Moynes was still wandering into the world, there was a sudden knock on the door.
The voice was unhurried, revealing a steady flavor.
In the entire fortress, there was only one person who would have this distinctive characteristic knock on the door.
That was the eldest and only son of the old Baron Mornes, Rob.
"Come in." Moynes spoke.
"Father." Rob's face looked a little haggard, and it looked like he hadn't slept well in days.
As soon as he saw his son showing this look, as a father, Moens was of course a little distressed, he knew that since he heard the news that Pan Daling's side might be calling, his son had been thinking about countermeasures overnight, which was actually a big mental burden for him. He suddenly felt that it was time to hand over the territory to the next generation. After all, although he is the lord of the Yederbi Lord, the development of the territory in recent years has been handled by his son, and he also persuaded himself not to join the coalition battle against the Panda Lord, but it was his own obstinate behavior that led to the current result.
Thinking of this, Moens's face was a little guilty.
Rob was a smart man, and when he saw his father's face, he knew what he was thinking, and when he said, "Father, please don't worry about me, at least now our territory is kept." β
"Yes." Moynes nodded. There was a hint of heartfelt joy in his eyes, "I really understand the meaning of the word nobility now." If that lord does fight, we really can't resist, but luckily. The ancient laws of nobility protect us. β
Rob's brows tightened, and his face looked a little strange: "But according to what I know about that lord." He doesn't look like the kind of person who would compromise easily. β
"So what?" Mohns said in a deep voice. "He must compromise even if he doesn't compromise this time, if he really starts a war desperately, then even the Marquis of Tonis will definitely not be able to protect him, and the first thing he needs to face at that time is not us, but the people behind him."
Rob sighed softly: "But even so, once the war starts." We were the first to suffer. β
Moens was slightly stunned, and immediately understood the meaning of his son's words.
If the lord of Panda was really desperate to start a war, then although the Duchy of Lane would indeed abandon him without hesitation, even the Marquis of Tonis would not be able to protect him. He will definitely be in a situation of isolation and helplessness by then. But once the war broke out, then the brunt of it was his Yedebi Lord, even if the lord would die afterwards, but the Yedebi Ling would definitely be in ruins in this war.
The thought that his family had worked hard for four generations, and now that his son was about to be reduced to ashes after five generations, Moens's face was very ugly. It's just that soon, he breathed a sigh of relief again: "Fortunately, fortunately." β
Thankfully what?
There is no need to say it explicitly, everyone knows it.
Only Rob, his brow still furrowed, he always felt that things would not be so simple. At the very least, he knew very well that there was now a corps of more than 5,000 men stationed at the junction of the Yedbyling and the Dayi Territory, which, as far as he knew, was the famous steel wings of the Panda Leader, and it was said that it was this army that had traversed the battlefield of Dabion for thousands of miles; And near the junction of Panda and Yedby, there were also several legions that camped here some time ago, and it is said that here is the Thunder Lion commanded by Alfred, the Lion King, and even the commander of the coalition who defeated the coalition army easily, and now the commander of the entire Darby's expensive clan is feared. Yale has also gone to the front line.
Being able to put on such a gesture, Rob didn't believe that the other party was just scaring people.
But seeing his father's happy look, Rob couldn't say a lot of words.
However, he thought about it, even if Pan Daling really recklessly started a war, he was completely powerless to stop it. The reason is very simple, now the entire Yederby Commander's strength is only a hundred people, although the elite level has increased slightly, but what can the guards of a hundred or so people do?
Not even a city can be defended at all!
Although there is only a small city with a population of less than 30,000 in the Lords, since the army of the territory was defeated by the Pandans, the army of the city is no longer the responsibility of their Gardez family. At that time, because of the economic crisis of the territory, Rob leased the entire city to a chamber of commerce, in exchange for the normal development of the territory in the following period, and of course, the city's security problems were also taken care of by this chamber of commerce.
Sighing softly, Rob glanced at the table and began to brew a new cup of coffee when he saw that it had been cold.
He knew that his father liked to drink a cup of coffee when he was in a good mood.
But at this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Old Moyns's brows furrowed, and he looked very dissatisfied with the disturbance at this time, but he still spoke: "What's the matter?" β
"Sir! Something is wrong! β
Listening to this voice, it is obvious that he is the steward of the fortress.
Just when he heard something big say, Moyns's expression became a little strange: "Come in!" β
The door was quickly slammed open, apparently because the butler had used too much force. For a family that has been inherited for almost five generations, it can no longer be regarded as a new aristocracy, and such aristocrats pay special attention to etiquette. So seeing this butler actually lose his temper like this, Moyns's face became extremely dissatisfied, if it weren't for the fact that this butler had followed him for many years, such a move tonight alone would be enough to be expelled from the family.
Fortunately, Rob didn't particularly care about this, and after seeing the old butler come in with a panicked face, he immediately asked, "What's wrong?" β
"Less...... Master! "When the old butler saw that Rob was also there, he also knew that the actual manager of the current territory was actually Rob a long time ago, and it was only a matter of time before he inherited the title, so he immediately turned his head to Rob and said." Army! Panda's army! They're calling! β
"What!" Moyns stood up with a "pop", his face turned unusually pale, "They...... How dare they! β¦β¦ Army! How dare you! β¦β¦β
It's clear that Moyns has become a bit incoherent.
And Rob, his face is also not good. It's just that although the face is a little unsightly. But at least he didn't mess up, when he had been putting on an aggressive posture of an aggressor since half a month ago. He knew that this matter could not be over so quickly. Even when there was a tendency throughout the south of Dabion that the lord to be a fool who could only speak big words, Rob did not let up in the slightest.
Those who haven't really fought with Panda Leader will not know the strength of Panda Leader.
So from the very beginning, Rob had already thought about how to deal with Pandaling's attack this time.
It is true that he is a nobleman, but he is still a lord on the premise of nobility, and it is the family that he puts before the lord.
At this moment. Rob didn't even understand himself, why did he even feel relieved when he heard the butler say that Panda Ling had launched an invasion. It was only soon that Rob realized a much more serious problem. That is, he did not set up camp and set up sentry at the border of the territory, because there were not enough troops in his territory to do this, so at this moment, since it was the old butler who came to inform him that the army led by Panda had attacked, then there was only one possibility!
The next moment, the roaring thunder sounded loudly.
And the alarm bell of the fortress was also sounded at this moment. Immediately afterward, there was a burst of footsteps throughout the fortress, the sound of the hundred guards who had been dispatched to guard the castle, mixed with the chaotic footsteps of some maids and other employees of the fortress making emergency evacuations.
Listening to the thunderous sound getting stronger, Rob quickly walked to the window.
What catches your eye is a red river rolling in and out.
But Rob knew that it was because there were countless people carrying torches to advance, and looking at the rush of the red river, it was obvious that these people were cavalry.
The 1st Cavalry Regiment of the Panda Command!
Rob's face changed suddenly.
As a neighbor of Pandaling, Rob has of course collected some intelligence information about Pandaling, so he knows very well that Pandaling has a cavalry unit, which is called the First Cavalry Regiment. The number of this army is not very large, only a thousand people, but this number is small compared to others, and for Yedbyling, this number is still very large.
But what really made Rob's face change was that he knew that the commander of this army was a man named Rena.
She is the strongest person under Sean's command, and she is already a gold-level powerhouse!
Rob never imagined that the vanguard unit in charge of the invasion led by Panda this time would actually be the First Cavalry Regiment led by Rena, a gold-level powerhouse.
Not to mention that there were only a hundred guards in the fortress, even if it was the same number of people, he would not feel that he was an opponent of the enemy army.
Seeing that the goal of the 1st Cavalry Regiment was the Yedeby fortress where he was, Rob only felt bitter.
He knew that the war between the Panda Territory of the Principality of Lane and the Tinchiin Territory of the Kingdom of Dabiang had finally begun.
Moreover, Yedebiling will also be the first victim of this war - no matter what the final outcome of this war is, Yedebiling has no way to get out of it, and he only has two options left.
Fight to the death.
Either...... Surrender. (To be continued......)
PS: When I ate supper last night, I was suddenly stuck in my throat by a fishbone, and then I went to the hospital to deal with it, and I tossed it for most of the night, so I only made up for it yesterday The day before yesterday was gone, and I am sorry for this kind of accident. β¦β¦ Although the fish bone was taken out at the last time, the skin in the throat was still scratched, and now it hurts when I swallow something, which is really uncomfortable.
