Ouban has less than 1,000 troops who really belong to him, and this army has always been captured by Ouban and refused to be dispatched. As for the other mercenary groups, they have been employed by Oban for many years, but they do not participate in the wars between the lords. Therefore, since Allen's invasion of the Jazz Territory, Oban has only mobilized his army to contain Daniel's army, but has not carried out real military operations.

But now that Allen's army had just defeated Daniel's garrison in the Blue Field, another army of about 800 people appeared here in Bauhinia, and Oulu naturally suspected that it was Oban's army. But when the army approached, the banner fluttering in the wind was Allen's wolf battle flag. Oulu was surprised, and thought to himself, Is Allen shoddy, and just recruited some recruits or slaves from somewhere, and formed an army to fight, and wanted to do that false plan?

"My lord, how are we going to act?" Osher's commander, Ish, asked.

"Hold your ground for the time being, and see what the situation is saying." Oulu will have to wait for Daniel's reaction before deciding what to do next.

When the army came to the city, it was not in a hurry to attack, but set up a makeshift camp and put on a posture that it would not leave lightly. Leading this army is Roy, and there is also a Willik. The army is the miscellaneous soldier in Allen's hand before, but after several battles, this miscellaneous soldier has some combat effectiveness, but it is still unsightly in Roy's eyes.

The strategy they had decided on was for Alan to lead the main force and quickly break down Daniel's garrison with absolute superiority. The first is to put pressure on Bauhinia, and the other is to take this opportunity to eat Daniel's elite forces and increase the bargaining chips for the subsequent negotiations with Oban. On the other hand, Roy and the miscellaneous soldiers bypassed the battlefield of the Blue Fields and went directly into the Bauhinia Collar, surrounding Oulu and his city, causing them mental stress.

While the army was encamped, Roy also ordered people to constantly shout and persuade him to surrender and put pressure on Oulu and his men.

Oulu made two tentative attacks, the first with a cavalry squad of about twenty men and the second with five hundred main infantry out of the city. In the first action, the cavalry squad bumped into Willik, and Willik smashed the squad with two fists, and smashed the squad to the point that the people were on their backs, their heads were bleeding, and they hit their noses and went back; The second time, Roy faced the battle in a serious manner, and before the battle, as Allen said, read out the head reward, so the miscellaneous soldiers rushed to the opposite infantry regiment with a scream as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

After a brief but fierce exchange, both sides were killed and wounded. Oulu retreated, and Roy didn't intend to push too hard, so the two sides retreated to their positions with restraint. However, the regular army of the other side could not get the slightest advantage under the other side's motley army, which made Oulu's face extremely rare.

In the midst of such a stalemate, at dusk, Oulu discovered another army. The army had come from the direction of the Blue Field, its appearance was solemn, and its battle formation moved neatly. Slowly pushing forward like a black cloud, looking at the army, Oulu felt a great pressure, and the air seemed to become solidified, a huge sense of oppression that was about to come made Oulu look solemn, and also made the soldiers on Bauhinia's side subconsciously clench their weapons, and everyone became nervous.

Eventually, Allen and his main forces converged with Roy. In this way, the army of more than 1,000 people has far surpassed the Bauhinia Collar, both in terms of number and plainness. At the sight of the sturdy warriors of the Mountain King and the inch-fire soldiers armed with rifles, Oulu's heart sank. The aura exuded by the soldiers of those two special forces was already comparable to the elite divisions of the Empire. Despite their limited numbers, a small redbud collar was no match for them.

Looking at the wolf flags fluttering in the camp opposite, Orupo felt that it was not a taste. Before, he also united with Lefus to force Storm City, but in less than half a year, the shape shì turned around and was surrounded by Allen.

Oulu can only hope for Daniel now, just as the viscount does not send troops to support, then he only has one way left. This is something he does not want to happen, but he has nothing to do.

Lake Porttilly glows as the sun leaps into the western horizon. It was as if a gem had been hidden in a box, and the thousands of colors of light disappeared. Daniel's mood was as deep as the night when the lake was gone, and when the report of battle from the Blue Field reached his ears, the Viscount wondered if he had misheard. In his plan, even if Tucker is defeated, he can rely on the advantage of troops, and it is always possible to delay it for three or two days.

If he had these three or two days, he would be able to carry out certain activities, such as attacking the first and second cities of the county and forcing Oban to order Alan to withdraw his army. But Tucker lost so quickly that Daniel didn't have time to react. What made him even more heartbroken was that a cavalry unit he had carefully cultivated was buried in the Blue Field. In his description of the battlefield, Daniel sees the battlefield as if it had been bombarded with fireballs by hundreds of magicians, or shot at by formed artillery arrays, turning the grassland into hell.

Daniel couldn't imagine what it would take for Alan to have the destructive power described in the report. The kind of destructive power that can devour a cavalry team of five or six hundred people in a very short period of time, with the wealth of the Andre family, may not be able to make up such a configuration.

A wine glass shattered in Daniel's hand, the shards of glass did not scratch the Viscount's palm, but the crimson wine flowed from the cracks of his fingers, but it was no different from blood.

At that moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in." Daniel's voice was like that of an old man in the twilight, completely devoid of its previous flamboyance.

The old butler pushed the door in and said in a deep voice, "Lord Daniel, Head Barre has sent someone to report. He has just received a call for help from the Bauhinia Collar, they are already under siege, and the head of Barre is asking for your instructions. ”

"Oulu ......" Daniel took out a silk silk from his jacket pocket, wiped the wine from his hands, and said slowly, "Sue Sù Barre, just ignore it." The other side besieged but did not attack, obviously waiting for us to deliver it to the door ourselves. I've already lost a Tucker and don't want to lose him. ”

"Do you mean to give up Bauhinia?" After the housekeeper finished speaking, he felt that he was suspicious of gaffe.

Fortunately, Daniel didn't care, he said lightly: "Everything has gains and losses, whether it's that Allen or Oban." If they think they've won Bauhinia and they've won it, then I'm going to surprise them. Patience now is for an even more violent outbreak in the near future. Wait, my revenge will be fierce like a storm, I, Daniel, will not lose to a little baron! ”

With a wave of his hand, he motioned for the old butler to step aside. With Daniel alone in his study, he pulled out a post from a drawer. The post is solid black with a ring of gold trim around it, and the cover has a castle motif. The castle is not colored, only with dark stripes, but in some places it leaves silver patches. Looks like some kind of metal reflection, this is a castle made of iron.

In the post, there is a short text. Roughly speaking, they are willing to join Daniel's command, as long as the viscount gives them room to develop. At the bottom is a byline, and the name Hagers is deeply embedded in the post.

It was a wish from the Frontier Lands of Blackiron Castle, who had approached Daniel months earlier. As far as Daniel knew, this Hagus was not the lord of the Black Iron Castle, but a knight leader. Daniel simply ignored the post when he saw it, after all, a knight captain was not qualified to express his wishes to himself.

It wasn't until Eren launched an attack and his own territory was damaged one after another, that Daniel carefully considered whether he should accept new vassals so that he could use their power to drive out the foreign enemy. At this time, he revisited the post, and secretly sent someone to Black Iron Castle to get in touch with Hagus. Judging from the reports received, this Hagus is not lacking, he and the lord of the Black Iron Castle, Sharon, are very powerful, and the knight leader has at least four points.

The Hegerstowe's messenger conveyed a simple will, he was willing to do anything for Daniel if he helped him sit in the position of lord.

Just over a month ago, Hagers had been successfully promoted to the nineteenth level, and his strength was quite outstanding. If it is accompanied by something like the Boiling Blood Demon Crystal, then Hagers's combat power can reach level twenty or even more in a short period of time. Such a knight leader can indeed help Daniel do a lot of things.

With a depressed breath, Daniel took out a piece of letter paper from the drawer, dipped it in ink with a quill pen, and wrote a short letter under the letterhead. The content of the letter stated that Hagus could accept his request, but before that, Haegs was required to cut off a fierce rival for him as a sign of sincerity.

After writing the letter, he packed it into a delicate envelope and drizzled red wax over the seal. Finally, the seal of the unicorn pattern is taken out and reprinted on the wax clay. Daniel rang the silver bell, and a moment later the butler came in, and Daniel handed him the letter, saying, "Go and bring it to Luo Mingwei, and tell him, this is a letter to the Black Iron Castle, and he knows who he has to give it to." ”

"Yes, my lord, I'll do it."

After the old butler left, Daniel looked out the window at the big lake in the thick of the night, and the viscount sighed lowly. If it weren't for the fact that his own subordinates were not available, how could he make a deal with a knight captain in the Frontierlands.

Allen, it's that Allen, that he has to condescend to himself and put down his body to accept Hagus. This shame must be repaid with your blood! Before Daniel knew it, he shattered the quill in his hand.

As the sun rose, Oulu's mood hit rock bottom. It's been a day since Daniel's side, and no news has come back. Looking at it like this, the viscount is planning to give up Bauhinia. After breakfast in Oulu, someone came to report that Alan was in the city and asked to meet Oulu.

Oulu sighed and nodded.

Half an hour later, he met Alan outside the city. Alan stood alone outside the city, without any retinue by his side, and saw Oulu's heart go up and down, and finally gritted his teeth and pressed down on Alan's mind. Oru knew for himself that this would be the last time he would rebel against Alan.

Seeing that Oulu's eyes changed in an instant, and finally became calm and clear, he began to smile and said, "Sir Oulu has made the most correct choice, otherwise, even if you go all out." Plus those people behind you, even if you want to keep me, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it. ”

Oru smiled bitterly: "Sir Alan didn't come here today just to test my reaction, did he?" ”

"Of course not, I'd like to propose another one to you." Alan said indifferently.

Oulu nodded and said, "I know what you want to say, if you don't mind, please give me a little time." I need to hear from the people below. ”

"No problem, but I'll only give you a day." Alan paused, and then said, "Sir Oulu, I can accept you alone. If you want, even if there is opposition below, I will erase it for you. ”

This was undoubtedly a promise, meaning that Oulu would only submit to Alan if he wanted to. Regardless of whether or not there was opposition to him surrendering, Alan would accept him and erase the opposition. In this way, Oulu will still be able to retain his title and power. Oulu couldn't hear it, so he smiled bitterly and thanked him, and returned to the city.

To Allen's surprise, Oulu did not delay long, and at about one o'clock in the afternoon, the gates of the city were opened. Oulu was accompanied by Lobin, Shaon, and other important officials to meet with Allen, and presented Allen with a thin sword with a redbud carved on its scabbard. This is the symbol of Bauhinia Flower's power, and giving it to Alan represents the Bauhinia Leader's willingness to surrender. Alan gladly took it and returned it to Oulu, thus completing the entire ceremony.

Next, Alan sent the army to stay outside, and he took Roy, Regess, and others into the city with Ao, and met with the other officials. At this point, the passage to the hinterland of the viscount was completely opened by Allen. From Sunset City, there will be no more obstacles to the Bauhinia.

The news of Bauhinia's return quickly reached the ears of the remaining two jazzes, but these two jazzes were even worse than Sunset City, and Daniel naturally did not expect anything from them. The two knights met frequently in private, but they couldn't come up with an idea. They went to see Daniel together, but they were closed. Daniel casually made an excuse not to see them, which made the two knights even more bottomless.

Fortunately, Alan was not interested in them, and they were happy to live one day at a time and wait for things to develop.

After Allen took possession of the Bauhinia Collar, he did not continue his next move. He left the main force behind, and the motley army was sent back to Castle Dawn and left to Roy's care. Roy also naturally sits in the Castle of Dawn, with a strong man like him guarding it, even if Daniel wants to surprise the attack, it will be difficult to regain the lost ground.

According to the plan, Dawning Castle and Bauhinia, which have development potential, have been acquired by Allen. Now that the territory has been laid, the next step is to consolidate its position and power. As for how to deal with Daniel, Alan threw this problem directly to Oban, and he didn't overstep his responsibilities and made any decisions for Oban. R1058
