After reaching an agreement with Ruud and Lonnis, Sean did as he promised, no longer restricting the scope of action of these two, and even released Northon and Kaz, two masters under Rudd.

In terms of treating prisoners of war, Sean's attitude is actually quite good, at least it doesn't embarrass these people too much. Like Northon and Kaz, Sean did not do any harm to them, except for restricting their freedom and arranging enough people to supervise them, unlike ordinary nobles who would kill them as soon as they found that there were masters and strong people who could not be used by them.

Of course, the only captive Sean has ever abused is Lonnis.

In terms of captives so far.

However, with the verbal conclusion of the secret agreement, Ruud, Northson, and Kaz were naturally able to return to their own territory, anyway, he already knew that the Boulder family had never cared about a little person like him at all. Therefore, he had to rush back to the territory to deal with some family affairs, as well as make some preparations for his upcoming treason, and of course, there must be a written agreement on the handover of the territory.

And Lonnis, because he is the one that the Boulder family wants to return, so it is of course impossible for Sean to let him go at present, otherwise he really can't negotiate with the upcoming envoys on the Boulder family's side.

When these things have settled in the dark, Sean's territory has finally begun to develop in a better way.

After the initial failure, the dwarven craftsman was finally able to smoothly load the small steam engine tossed by the goblins into the shield, but the defects and disadvantages of this power machine are still very obvious, and the biggest problem is that the service life is too short. According to the Dwarven Tinkerer and Goblin Tinkerer, this shock shield needs to be replaced with a power generator every three times, otherwise there is a high probability that it will explode when it is activated the fourth time.

And in addition to this drawback. The engine must also be kept in some state of operation at all times, allowing the steam inside to warm up, and only then can it be driven out as soon as the nail stakes of the shield need to be struck. As a result, the real problem is the load, which is about two gallons of water every five hours, and once the stakes are hit, the engine is in a resting state, requiring more than ten hours of cooling time and ten gallons of water before the next start.

These are all problems that cannot be improved with the technological power of the current era, so Sean does not have to ask for anything. After all, this is a product of the future, and now it has been made by him in advance.

Of course, after a lot of fumbling and a series of tests, at the current level, all the dwarves and goblins are all working together. It is still possible to create two impact shields every three days, which is calculated according to the amount of one hundred impact shields required by Sean. It will take about half a year. This made Sean a little helpless, so he could only settle for the next best thing and make forty faces out for emergencies first.

Compared to the production speed of the shock shield, the construction speed of Void City is relatively much faster. The main reason is because of the addition of this strange army left to him by Vivien - Neil has invested almost all the available armies in the entire territory into the construction of Void City, which is naturally much faster. However, according to the estimated plan, it will take at least more than three months for the entire Void City to be completed.

Of course, if it weren't for some of Neil's inspirations and some changes to the architectural drawings. I'm afraid the construction will be faster.

But despite this, Sean actually likes this feeling, because it makes him feel that his life is very fulfilling.

The city walls are increasing day by day, the various buildings in the city are also improving day by day, and even the farmland outside the city has not been abandoned because of this, coupled with the policy that Neil has formulated before, the people of Panda Territory should be able to live a rich winter this year. Of course, if it weren't for the fact that during this period, William found a small force of about 400 people intruding into his territory, Sean actually really wanted to use words like "national peace and security" and "wind and rain" to describe his life in the past half a month.

On this day, the sky was slightly bright.

Sean was woken up by a sharp knock on the door.

Because Bess has now officially lived in the military camp outside Void City, Sean and Cecilia and others have also moved to Void City to live, I have to say that with the existence of such a number one person as Bes, Sean really sleeps very soundly. Today's Black Swan Castle has completely become a status symbol, although the repair has not yet begun, but the cleaning work in the castle has not stopped, at least the interior of the Black Swan Castle is now really in line with the level of an ancient castle.

Sean could hear the knock on the door, so he hurried down and opened the door.

It was William who knocked on the door.

"What's wrong?" Sean could see that William did have an eager look on his face, and immediately realized the seriousness of the problem, he hadn't seen William show such a look for a long time, "What's going on in the territory?" ”

"Not territory." William shook his head.

"What's that?"

"You'd better come with me yourself, and don't let Cecilia come with you." William entered the room, looked around and didn't see Cecilia, and then lowered his voice and said, "It has something to do with the Duchy of Rembell." ”

Sean's face froze: "You wait for me." ”

Then he turned and went up to the second floor, and after a hurried wash, he immediately left the house with William.

"What the hell is going on?" Walking on the road, Sean hurriedly asked, "How is it related to the Duchy of Rumbell?" ”

"Remember a week ago when I received information that an army of more than four hundred men had entered the territory?"

Sean nodded, "Yes." …… Didn't you lead the army that Vivien left behind to fight? ”

"They're a group of mercenaries with white wings." William spoke.

Sean was stunned for a moment, and then a ruthless look appeared on his face: "You actually chased here?" Are you all wiped out? ”

"No, you're mistaken." William shook his head, "They were the White Wing Mercenary Regiment before, but their route was the same as Alfred'...... back then" Speaking of this, William glanced sideways at Sean and found that his face was really stunned, so he continued: "So you should know that they were fiercely pursued by the coalition of nobles of the Kingdom of Dabion, and suffered heavy casualties. ”

"And then?" Sean continued.

"Then I don't know exactly what happened, but the head of the White Wing Mercenary Regiment, the former general of the Duchy of Rembell, was killed in battle, and then Clov ...... He was also one of the generals of the Duchy of Rembell, and was a member of the earliest inner circle of the White Wing Mercenary Regiment. William was afraid that Sean didn't understand the situation, so he explained by the way, "Anyway, he killed the only remaining general, which should probably be regarded as a kind of internal rebellion, no matter what the process is, Clov succeeded, and then led the remaining four hundred people to join us." ”

"Defect to us?" Sean was really dumbfounded at this point.

"Defection to Cecilia, to be exact." William said with a serious face, "This guy Clov is the real diehard party of the Duchy of Rembell. …… He is not loyal to a king, a prince, or someone in the royal family, but to the kingdom of Lombel. In other words, the fluctuations emitted by Cecilia's bloodline awakening were too strong, and Clov felt that the revival of the Lombel Kingdom was promising, so for the sake of his own faith, he eliminated all the enemies that threatened Cecilia and personally led the rest of the troops to rush over. ”

"Is this man crazy?"

"I guess so." William said with deep sympathy, "He now calls his unit the Lombel Guards. …… This is the number of a unit that is only recorded in the history of the Lombel Kingdom. Since the defeat of the Lumber Kingdom and the vassal state of the Maggie Empire, the name of the Rumber Guards has been completely revoked, and since then the highest unit of the Principality of Rumber has been called the Royal Guard, and it is not allowed to bear the name of the country. ”

As the two of them said this, they were already in the barracks.

Surprisingly, however, Sean did not see Bess sitting in the coffin outside the main tent, and he glanced at William with an inquiring look, who pointed to the main tent. So Sean walked into the main tent first, and sure enough, he saw that Beth was still sitting on the coffin with Enkos in it, looking indifferently at a middle-aged man wearing heavy armor and holding a heavy knife standing in the main tent.

It seemed that he heard the sound of footsteps, so the middle-aged man also turned his head, just in time to see Sean coming from the tent, and immediately said, "You are Sean. Connelly? Lord of Panda? ”

"Yes." Sean nodded, he could see that the middle-aged man seemed to have injuries on his body, but his momentum was very strong, and it could even be said that it was almost condensed into a real substance, which was the embodiment of the peak of the silver rank.

"I'm the commander of the Rembell Guards, Croft. Chirders, I'm here to see His Highness Cecilia. The middle-aged man named Clov said in a deep voice, "I am grateful for your care of His Highness Cecilia over the years, but now, it is time to return His Highness Cecilia to me." ”

"Cecilia is no longer the Duchy of Rumbell......"

"It's the Kingdom of Rumbel!" Clov interrupted Sean in a deep voice.

"I don't care if you're a principality or a kingdom, but you have made it clear to me that Cecilia is no longer His Royal Highness of Rembell, and her current identity is Cecilia. Connery, my sister. Sean said unceremoniously, "If you're here just to push Cecilia to the fore and be your reason to raise your flag, then I can guarantee you won't see the sun the next day." ”

As Sean's words fell, Alfred and Rena stood up left and right, and surrounded Clov in the middle with Sean in a triangle.

In an instant, Clov's body continued to exude the momentum of climbing, and it was completely condensed. (To be continued.) )
