"Damn, where did these guys go?" Wood was about to scream, but suddenly his heart moved, and he looked into the hallway.

There stood a tall young man.

Willik said in a deep voice, "Mr. Captain, please come with me." ”

"What about my people?" Wood's face darkened, and his hand touched the sword at his waist.

"They're fine, it's just a temporary restriction of their activities."

"That is, you also want to limit my activities. Any idea what that means? We're the direct knights of Count Obana! ”

"That's why I'm asking you to walk away for a moment. Otherwise, it's not that cheap. Willik raised his head: "Come with me, Mr. Captain, we don't want unnecessary conflicts. ”

Wood's hand on the sword kept repeating the clenching and loosening motions, and after doing so several times, he sighed, let go of his hand completely, and walked silently towards Willik.

In the room, Glaar felt that the Knight Captain had been gone for too long. Outside, there were bursts of laughter, which slapped him in the face like a slap, making him feel his face burn. Graal couldn't hold back any longer, and pushed the door open. There was no one in the corridor outside, and the Viscount cursed secretly and swaggered out of the residence.

Outside the street, a line of soldiers lined up, leaving an open space. Alan and Tomen stood in front, Tomen's face was stern, and Alan seemed to be smiling, and he could see that Glaal was a little weak. Lord Viscount took a breath and exclaimed, "Baron Allen, what do you mean by that!" Are you insulting a viscount? I want to protest to Lord Earl, you must pay for your actions! ”

After yelling, Glar felt that he had a lot of confidence. Yes, he was a viscount, a noble viscount. In the knighthood sequence, Alan can only look up to his light, when will he be able to climb to his head and show off his might?

Alan shook his head and smiled, "Grar, you haven't figured out the situation yet. Where is this? I have come to tell you that this is not your viscounty, and that your will and voice cannot pass here. This is my city, the front line of the war zone. I'm up to me here, so either you spit out what you've deducted. Or, let me break my legs and throw them out! ”

"You dare?" Graal screamed.

Alan gestured, and the two soldiers immediately stepped out of the ranks, looking at Glar with cold eyes.

Glaal was startled, not wanting Eren to move for real. At this time, he couldn't care much more, and hurriedly unveiled his trump card. Graal took out a piece of paper from his bosom and raised it, "Who said that Sunset City is your city, now, this city is under my control!" This is the Count of Auban's instrument of authorization, take a good look at it yourself, Lord Baron! ”

Alan frowned and took the paperwork from Grar's hand. When I opened it, it was indeed a power of attorney from Ark Harbor, which clearly stated that the management of Sunset City had been transferred to Glaar. The place where the payment was made was Oban's autograph and seal, and he didn't have the guts to forge it, plus the man was directly under Oban's cavalry team, so it was obvious that this document was genuine.

Tuomen glanced at it, and his breathing suddenly became a little short. He wanted to say something, but Alan raised his hand and motioned for him to stop talking for a while.

Looking at Glaar again, the viscount became smug: "Well, I didn't lie to you. This is the earl's handwriting, Sir Allen, you don't want to disobey, do you? ”

Alan said in a suffrage of words: "This is different from the agreement between me and the earl, we have already agreed that the territory that I have conquered will be managed by me. ”

"That's true, but the Earl thinks your potential is limitless. A single Sunset City will not be your destination, and predictably there will be more to come. Your Excellency has limited energy, and you should not be able to take care of so many territories, so I will take care of Sunset City for you. It's the earl's domain anyway, so you won't have anything to lose. ”

"This is the Earl's exact words?"

"Almost." Graal added: "As long as you sign on it, those materials that have been temporarily detained by me will naturally be sent to you, and the Earl still has high hopes for you." ”

His smug appearance, and his obvious attempt to override Allen's power, made the soldiers around him look angry. But Eren didn't give an order, and they didn't dare to act on their own, so they could only stare at Glaal with fierce eyes.

Alan nodded and said, "I'm going to read this document carefully, so I'll give you an answer by tomorrow at the latest." ”

With a wave of his hand, Eren left with Tormen and the soldiers. After they left, Zok and the two cavalrymen regained their freedom and returned to Glaar, where they were naturally condemned.

It was night, in the chamber of the city lord's mansion. Alan handed the authorization document to Tomon and Willik to look at, Tomon chose to be silent after reading it, and Willik angrily slammed his fist on the table: "Young master, this must be the ghost of that Gral." Let me break his dog's leg and throw it out to feed the wolf!" ”

Alan shook his head and said, "The paperwork is real, and so are the signatures and seals. In other words, this qiē was the decision of Count Oban. ”

Tomen said in a deep voice: "It seems that Count Oban still has reservations about his trust in you. ”

"After all, I'm not his original team." Alan said calmly.

Tomen looked at him and said, "So what are you going to do?" ”

"If you don't sign it, you will betray the Earl, and the army in the Emerald Mountains should be driven under Sunset City. If it is signed, then the city will have to give it up, and no one will be willing to change it. Alan clasped his hands to his chest and looked down in thought. After a while, it seemed that a decision had been made: "It seems that this name still has to be signed." ”

Willik's chest heaved: "Did you just give Sunset City to that villain?" ”

Tomen's eyes darkened.

"Of course you can't let it out so lightly." Alan smiled slightly, looked at Tomen and said, "Baron Tomen, do you believe me?" ”

Tuomen's eyes moved slightly, and he raised his head and said, "If you have something to say, you can't say it." ”

"I'm going to leave Sunset City to Glar, but I'm going to take the army, supplies, and equipment with me. In short, leave a mess for Glaar. In doing so, I'll drain Sunset City's power. And with all my strength, I will take the Hungry Wolf Territory first, and then take the Castle of Dawn. After these two territories fell into my pocket, the equivalent of Daniel's small half of the territory was in my pocket. When the time comes, I'll take the opportunity to put pressure on the Count to hand Sunset City back to me. But before that, I can only grieve Sir Tormen. ”

Tomen nodded heavily: "This is indeed a solution. I was thinking that if the Lord gave up on the city completely, I would simply re-contact Viscount Daniel. Although he will be heavily punished for this, it is better than looking at the face of that villain. Since the adult has this plan, then let me accompany him for a while. ”

From losing the duel, to repelling the coalition forces, to now putting your heart in your mind. It was only at this moment that Alan used his series of actions to truly win Tomen's loyalty.

So after a secret discussion, Tomen left and went to get ready overnight. There is a lot to do, from the preparation of materials to the mobilization of troops, it takes time, and the action must not be too big. All people and things were sent out of the city in batches, so as not to alarm Gral. Later, he found out that he could still deduce that Sunset City was like this, and Glaar had no proof, and he didn't have a problem with Alan and Tormen. If he is discovered during this period, he can make a big fuss. At the very least, a charge of embezzlement of public property will not run away.

Over the next few days, Glaar noticed that Allen's attitude had changed dramatically. Treat him with delicious food and drink every day, so that Glaar's vanity is satisfied, and he thinks that the baron Allen has finally enlightened. It's just that Alan has been signing the power of attorney for a long time, and every time he asks, he always says "not in a hurry". After four or five days of this, Glaal became anxious, and on this day he asked Zoke to bring ten knights to the City Lord's Mansion with great fanfare, and wanted to force Alan to sign the authorization book.

didn't want to just come to the study, Alan rushed to say, "Viscount Grar, you came just in time." I have signed this document, please take a look at it. ”

Such a big contrast made Glaar not react for a while. He was stunned for a while before he knew how to take the paperwork. Sure enough, there was Allen's signature and seal on it, and a big stone was finally put down. Gral struggled to squeeze a smile out of his face and said, "So, when does Sir Alan plan to set off and continue to seize more territory for the Earl?" ”

"I'll leave right away."

"Immediately?" Glar thought he had misheard, when did that tough boy become so good at talking.

Patting Glaal on the shoulder, Alan said, "Then Sunset City will be handed over to you, I believe that under the management of Lord Viscount, this city will be more prosperous." ”

"Of course...... Of course. ”

By the time Glaar came to his senses, Alan had already left the study. A moment later, he was seen leaving the city with an army, which, judging by the lineup of the army, was only about three hundred men. Seeing them leave, Glar breathed a sigh of relief, and even the captain behind him, Wood, looked a lot more relaxed, at least this time the transfer of power went smoothly and avoided the worst ending.

But it didn't take long for Glaal to be happy, and the next day, when he ordered someone to open the material warehouse, when he saw the few boxes, the viscount's face changed: "What the hell is going on?" Why is there only such a small thing? ”

Tomen said with a bitter face beside him: "Lord Viscount, not long ago, in order to repel the enemy army, Lord Allen took out most of the supplies to motivate the soldiers. If it weren't for that, the fight wouldn't have been so smooth. But rest assured, with the efficiency of our city's output, within three years, you will be able to see a warehouse full of things. ”

"Three years?" Glar almost wanted to faint, and this time he used all the jazz to join forces to Obandi yì, and he, the viscount, would manage Sunset City instead of Alan. First, it was to prevent Allen's strength from expanding too quickly, which was also in the heart of the European class, so that Glaal Shun Lì got the authorization document; Second, Glaal also wants to take this opportunity to receive the wealth of Sunset City.

But now, even the most important material warehouses have been emptied. As you can imagine, the city's wealth and power have been hollowed out. Graal is not stupid, combined with Allen's attitude and behavior a few days ago, he roughly guessed that these were all Allen's ghosts. But he knows that he has no substantive evidence, but he can't blame Allen. What's more, Tomen also said that they invested a lot of materials in mobilization before the war. No one had counted the pre-war reserves and estimated the wealth of Sunset City. Now after the war, who knows how much they have invested, even if it goes to Oban, at most Allen will be blamed for investing too much.

This is a simple crime for a knight who controls the army and has a strong force.

Glaal was so angry that in his heart, Alan had risen from a barbarian to the level of a shameless thief. Not only did Alan steal his "wealth", but he also left him with a mess. At least until Sunset City's output fills the warehouse, Gral will have to fulfill the responsibilities of a steward, which is not what he imagined when he arrived!

An army of 800 men was advancing through the mountains and forests, and Eren had looted almost all of Sunset City's combat power. Including soldiers and slaves, as long as there is a little combat power, all of them are taken away by him, in addition, there are a lot of food and equipment and other materials. These supplies are enough for an army of more than 1,000 people to feed for more than a month.

The team is advancing in the direction of the hungry wolf leader, and Truf is an out-and-out powerhouse. But he is not a good lord, let alone a suitable manager. His realm was the smallest of all Daniel's vassals, and the poorest. Even Sunset City can't compare, Sir Hungry Wolf's territory doesn't have any strategic resources, and there aren't even many beasts in those thin lands, so they can only let the lords grow some crops and barely survive the sun.

But Truf also imposed a series of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and used every means to extract wealth from the people, sometimes even Daniel could not look down on him. So when the army entered the Hungry Wolf Territory, Eren had already seen two deserted villages. It was the people who couldn't stand Duruff's oppressive rule and fled from the territory. Today, there are only two large villages in this poor knight's territory, and the city where the knight is located, Fenrir.

In the last two days, the guards of Fenrir have noticed that the people of Fenrir are constantly fleeing from their villages to the city. From the mouths of the people, the city of Fenrir learns that an army has entered the territory. Beyond their passes, they swept away the villages that still lived there, forcing the people to flee to Fenrir for refuge. Although Fenrir is the city of the Baron, it is full of dilapidated houses, filthy aqueducts, and damaged statues that have not been repaired. Only the city lord's mansion looks better, and Duruff still cherishes face, at least the place where he lives is more beautiful, and it is worthy of his status as a knight. R1058
