"The crisis of this border orc invasion."
"It's entirely the royal family's fault."
"If it weren't for the greed of the royal family, nothing would have happened to the governor of Tire City."
"The orcs will not invade at all."
Under the night, Fang Yuan was on the way with the swamp nobles.
Take advantage of the break.
Sir Sam said angrily.
"Oh, I haven't heard any relevant information."
Fang Yuan asked curiously.
"Of course, these can only be known after you get the title of baron."
"I am the only baron in the swamp."
"It was still a secret before, but now I'm afraid the city of Tire can't be saved."
"This news is no secret at all."
After a pause, Sir Sam continued.
"The Kingdom of Alpha is surrounded by many countries that believe in gods."
"Especially in the past ten years, the surrounding national temples have strong armed forces."
"Continuous invasion of the Alpha Kingdom."
"About half a year ago."
"The rising Harvest Church invaded the southeastern province."
"Several bishop-level powerful men united with three hundred direct knights to start an internal rebellion."
"Thousands of nobles, large and small, died in the southeastern province."
"Even the Duke died."
"The nobles of the southeastern provinces united to fight back, cooperated with the royal family's power, and strangled the invading Church of the Harvest."
Hearing this, Fang Yuan was also quite surprised.
Unexpectedly, the Harvest Church is the weakest in the Old World.
To be so strong in the secret realm.
"Apart from the Harvest Church, do evil gods from other countries also launch attacks like this?"
Sam shook his head.
"Not really."
"Basically once a year."
"But Harvest Church does it almost every month, or even once a day."
"Whether they are big or small, Harvest Church believers are extremely crazy in launching attacks."
"But this time in the Southeast Province, it is rumored that the Harvest Church took out a divine weapon, which caused such a big rebellion."
Fang Yuan frowned slightly.
"Artifact?"
"Who has seen it?"
Sam shrugged.
"Nobody."
"But none of that matters."
"Listen to me."
Sir Sam continued.
"The rebellion of the Harvest Church has certainly caused heavy damage to the Southeast Province."
"But the nobles who died in the battle also vacated a lot of territory."
"After the war, both the royal family and the nobles wanted to take these territories as their own."
"After all!"
"The territory of the Southeast Province is notoriously wealthy."
"Even if it is the worst barony, its commercial tax and food output can be several times that of the border territory."
"And it's safe. The southeastern province is located inland."
"If it weren't for the invasion of Harvest Church, there would be no danger at all."
"Of course it was also for this reason that they were lax in their armaments, so they were seized of the opportunity and killed them ruthlessly."
"But no matter what, the territory of the Southeast Province is a rare wealthy place in the Alpha Kingdom."
"After the war, for these unclaimed lands, various overt and covert struggles began between the local nobles in the southeastern provinces and the nobles directly under the royal family."
"At this time, local nobles tend to unite and resist outsiders."
"The royal family has entrusted a large number of honorary nobles, and they all exist dependent on the royal family."
"Once you get a fief, you will be die-hard loyal to the royal family."
"The royal family wants to give the territory to its honorary nobles, and members of its own royal family will occupy the majority."
"The local nobles want to digest the territory internally."
"After three full months of negotiations."
"It is always difficult for the royal family to gain the upper hand."
"Just when the two sides reached a stalemate."
"Suddenly, the royal family used a move."
"Leading the border nobles south."
"It is proposed to hand over part of the territory to the border nobles as a reward for their merits."
"As soon as the news came out, the entire border was boiling."
"And the nobles of the southeastern province did not expect that the royal family would make such a move."
"If the border nobles go south, they have no reason to refuse."
"Once you oppose it, you will be morally condemned."
"This is not in line with the virtues of aristocrats."
"But the southeastern nobles did not give up."
"They asked the border nobles to send the governor south to negotiate."
"Divide the territory."
"For this time."
"His Excellency the Governor of Tire City set out in person with a large number of nobles."
"But just as we were heading south."
"An accident happened after entering the royal family's territory."
"Assassinated."
"His Excellency the Governor is dead."
"Only one of the accompanying knights ran out."
"And this knight escaped back to Tire City and brought out the news that the royal family was responsible."
In an instant, the nobles of Tire City became angry.
A council of border nobles was then convened.
The governor's eldest son was elected to inherit the title and headed south with the border legions.
Ask the royal family for justice.
And it was at this time.
Orc invasion of Rayman City.
Surrounded the city of Tire.
otherwise!
With the defense of Tire City, there would not be such a disastrous defeat.
Just those castles built outside the city of Tire.
It was enough to cause heavy casualties to the orc army.
When it comes to this.
Sam sighed heavily.
"Do you believe the governor was killed by the royal family?"
Fang Yuan asked.
"Don't believe it."
"Absolutely unnecessary."
"Even at that time, the city of Tire suddenly gathered its legions and headed south, which I found very strange."
"But as a baron, I am not qualified to speak at all."
"I guess there is either a problem within the royal family or a problem within the city of Tire."
"Either there is something wrong with both."
He said and shrugged again.
"But that has nothing to do with us."
"The orcs have made it clear that they want to eat the city of Tire."
"When support cannot arrive in time."
"The city of Tire will be destroyed in five or six days at most."
"The orcs will then take over the Red River Valley and the Swamp."
"The last siege of the Rainbow Land."
"Clear all the border territories opened by the Alpha Kingdom."
"And we!"
Sam turned and looked behind him.
"We had a lucky escape, but we have to get out of the border."
"Return to the Alpha Kingdom and continue to be a merchant, wandering knight, and mercenary!"
"Haha."
"Nobility, territory."
"Decades of struggle are all in vain in the end!"
After speaking, Sam patted Fang Yuan on the shoulder.
"After returning this time, you will follow my family."
"Let's retreat south together."
"I will marry my daughter to you."
"If there is a chance to return to the border in the future."
"My family will fully support you with all its wealth."
After seeing the alchemy equipment, Sam confirmed that Fang Yuan failed this time.
It will definitely come back in the future.
Win over this potential stock.
There may be hope for their Sam family.
And after Fang Yuan heard the promise from the fat man in front of him.
The corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
After pondering for a moment, he raised his head and said.
"If, I say if there is a chance."
"It can turn the city of Tire from defeat into victory."
"Will you do it!"
After listening to Fang Yuan's words, he looked at his extremely serious expression.
Sam asked in disbelief.
"You have?"
Fang Yuan did not answer, just waiting for the other party to give an answer.
Sam pondered a little and raised his head.
"My great-grandfather was once a businessman in the Southeast Province."
"Having been in business for decades, I accumulated a lot of wealth, but in one night."
"The nobles rushed in with soldiers and took away all the wealth."
"He told my grandpa."
"No matter what, become a noble."
"My grandfather has been a knight's squire since he was young."
"It took forty years to become a knight who awakened the magic crystal."
"When I was fifty years old, I took my family, a total of thirty people, to the border to develop territory."
"In my memory, we dug dirt in fetid swamps to build our territory."
"For food, we plant carefully, and we have to stand by the farmland every night to guard against attacks by fishmen."
"My grandfather died under the poisonous arrows of a fishman in the third year after he came to the border territory."
"My uncle and uncle were hanged in the jungle for resisting the fish-men."
"I waited until my father, defeated the fishmen, and welcomed the frogmen."
"During a frogman invasion, he was poisoned by the frogman's venom."
"The face was completely corroded, and he wailed for three days and three nights before he died."
"When Sam passed the news to me, I already lost three brothers and six cousins."
"Three generations of hard work and two full generations of people died in battle have led to the current Sam Territory."
When he said this, Sam's voice began to tremble.
He looked into Fang Yuan's eyes.
"Do you know the Greatsword Infantry?"
"They are none other than my tribe."
"From its establishment to the present, the number of people killed by the Great Sword Infantry has reached one thousand."
"These are a thousand of my blood relatives."
"Their sacrifices have allowed the Sam Territory to exist to this day."
"Anyway. But there is a chance."
"There is absolutely no way I will give up the Sam Territory!!!"
After saying that, he suddenly knelt down in front of Fang Yuan.
"Efron, I checked your origins."
"It's mysterious."
"I don't know what kind of power you have."
"I don't care about the purpose of the forces behind you."
"But if you can keep the Sam leader alive."
"I'm Sam!"
"No, the entire Sam family is willing to become your vassal!"
"Fighting for you, for the Efron family!"
"This is a blood oath!"
Sam said the last words.
Christian next to him was a little moved.
It is different from the blood oaths of later generations.
In an era of chaotic rules, the promises originating from blood are recognized by the law.
The blood oath of this era represented the promise of nobility.
Once issued, it will be protected by rules.
If the blood oath is broken in the future.
The whole family will suffer a huge disaster.
In later generations, it was reshaped by the power of law.
The so-called blood oath no longer has any binding force.
Basically just post it casually.
Fang Yuan noticed Christian's expression next to him.
A thought came to my mind.
You have already guessed how solemn the words Sam just said were.
"It seems I can trust you."
Fang Yuan said calmly.
Sam's face lit up.
"So Efron."
"What's your plan?"
At this time, Fang Yuan could no longer hide it.
Going further, you can see the orcs who were massacred by Aria.
When these swamp nobles see it, they will naturally become suspicious.
It's better to win Sam over now.
With his help, the Marsh Nobles will be firmly bound to their chariots.
"Sam."
"I know a way."
"Able to reach Lehman City directly!"
Heard the news about Fang Yuan.
Sam was stunned for a moment, then looked disappointed.
"Efron."
"The road to Lehman City is no secret."
"I also know that if you go northeast from here, you only need to pass through six pioneer territories."
"You can get to Lehman City."
"I have followed the Frontier Corps and launched attacks from this direction more than once."
"But every time it was in vain."
"To protect the safety of Lehman City."
"The number of permanent legions in these pioneering territories is no less than a thousand."
"Once attacked, support will be available from all sides."
"In less than half a day, tens of thousands of troops and six fortresses that are difficult to conquer will appear in front of us."
"And we are just a few people!"
"I want to break through these layers of defense."
"Do you think it's possible?"
Sam grew more and more disappointed as he spoke.
He didn't expect that this was the news Efron actually told.
I shouldn't believe him at all.
And just when Sam was upset.
Fang Yuan's voice sounded again.
"What if all the defenders in these pioneer territories are dead?"
These words made Sam's face freeze.
Then he looked at Fang Yuan in disbelief.
"Death?"
Fang Yuan nodded.
"You~"
He wanted to ask, but quickly chose to shut up.
"Really all dead?"
Sam asked again.
"Dead."
Got an accurate answer.
Sam stood up abruptly.
"Efron."
"You can't lie to me!"
"Of course not."
Immediately, Baron Sam was pacing in the same spot, mumbling.
"If dead."
"Then the road to Lehman City will be completely opened."
"Now the Carlo family must have gathered all their strength to attack Tell City."
"If this happens, I can have a siege army of three thousand."
"Then take Lehman City!"
"Maybe it's possible."
"Even if you can't take it."
"It can also force the Carlo family to return for help."
"As long as we succeed, the city of Tire will be saved, and the territory of the Sam family will also be saved."
"No, it's not that there is salvation, but that the Sam family will become a wealthy family on the border."
"Even the king wants to receive me."
Think of a bright future.
Sam suddenly stopped and his expression suddenly changed.
Showing pain.
"But Efron."
"We don't have three thousand soldiers, only a few thousand peasant soldiers."
"There must be defenders in Lehman City."
"Even if Lehman City's army leaves, our strength will not be enough to attack Lehman City."
A once in a million opportunity is right in front of us, but we can't seize it because of the few soldiers.
Sam was in endless pain.
And just when Fang Yuan was about to speak.
Sam turned sharply again.
"Wait, we can ask Rainbow Valley for help."
"Efron, although this will give some merit."
"But~"
Fang Yuan raised his hand to stop the other party from continuing.
"The legion in Rainbow Valley should have been ambushed by the orcs."
"We took advantage of the chaos and escaped."
"But they can't escape."
"If you go back now, you will die."
Sam was once again in agony.
"No!"
"Ancestor, why do you punish me like this?"
But soon, Fang Yuan's words quickly surprised him.
"Sam."
"The six pioneer territories are gone."
"Do you think Lehman City's guards are okay?"
At this time, he suddenly woke up from a dream.
"Yes, yes."
"Efron, you're right."
Immediately he rolled his eyes.
"Such a generous offer."
"So Efron."
"What do the forces behind you want?"
Fang Yuan smiled faintly.
"Magic Crystal."
"All the magic crystals."
"There are still supplies!"
"I account for 70% of the looted materials."
"You share the remaining 30% with other nobles."
"But there is one condition."
"After entering Lehman City."
"Not a single person left alive!"
Sam grinned at this.
"Of course!"
"Don't worry."
"I know what to do."
When he heard that all the magic crystals were required, Sam guessed that the alchemist was behind to assist.
However, ordinary alchemists cannot participate in mortal wars.
Once discovered, they will be hunted down.
But many times, wild alchemists don't care about this.
Sam deduced that this should be what the wild alchemist behind Efron asked for.
If it weren't for the orc invasion war, Sam would never have participated.
But for the sake of the family territory, he had no choice but to take risks.
Fang Yuan quickly reached an agreement with Sam.
It's up to Sam to convince the swamp nobles.
Those who can come to the border to open up are adventurers and desperadoes.
I have already put my head on my waist.
I heard there is such a good opportunity.
None of the remaining swamp nobles objected.
After everyone reached a consensus.
The team's speed suddenly became faster.
Open up the territory through the slaughtered orcs.
While all the swamp nobles were frightened, most of them were eager and greedy.
Eagerness to capture Lehman City.
Greed for plundering Lehman City.
That's it!
A centuries-old legacy of the Carlo family.
And just as the swamp nobles rushed towards Lehman City.
now.
Outside Lehman City.
Aria looked at the gate of Lehman City.
There.
The violent tiger warriors led by Brainy are capturing the city gate.
After a while.
A flag was erected at the city gate.
It was a winning message from Blaney.
Aria whipped out the sword from her waist.
"Knights!"
"Here!"
Behind him, the guardian knights and the dwarf chariot army lined up.
"Capture the city!!!" "Kill!!!" (End of this chapter)
