The orcs' attack on Tire City has put the city in danger.
But at a critical moment.
The orcs of the Carlo family withdrew their troops.
And then, the Knights of the Silver Hand of the Alpha Kingdom appeared.
Entered the city of Tire.
This sudden incident also weakened the achievements of the swamp nobles.
At first, everyone thought it was the arrival of the Knights of the Silver Hand that caused the orcs to retreat.
But not long after, news came out that Lehman City had been breached.
It was the nobles of the swamp who broke the city.
When the news came out, it wasn't just the border nobles.
The entire Alpha Kingdom was stunned.
They initially thought it was fake news.
Later, spies were sent to find out that it was true.
That's when.
It was only then that the merits of the Marsh Nobles were recognized.
Before that.
Baron Sam went to Tire City and had not seen the governor yet.
He was sent to prison for deserting.
Letters depriving nobles of their fiefdoms have been sent to the royal capital.
Then he was taken out of the prison and met by the governor of Tire City.
After three hours of secret conversation.
Sam's title was raised to Viscount, and he also won three baronies for his three heirs.
The price was the raid on Lehman City, which was personally directed by His Excellency the Governor.
The Knights of the Silver Hand also joined the war.
The nobles of the swamp are still heroes and heroes.
But not the biggest one.
The fame of the Marshland nobles spread throughout the kingdom.
But he was also ranked behind the Governor of Tire City and the Commander of the Knights of the Silver Hand.
In bard poetry, they are just a bunch of lucky soldiers.
to this result.
The Marshland nobles were satisfied.
Compared with the false reputation that spreads, they are more willing to obtain affordable territory and treasure.
The governor of Tire City promised.
All Marshland nobles who participated in the Leman City War.
All titles are promoted to baron, and you can choose a barony in the Red River Valley and the Tire Plains.
If willing to leave the border.
The kingdom also promised to give a knight's territory and three thousand gold coins as compensation in the southeastern province.
This move successfully divided all the nobles in the swamp.
Basically 99% of the swamp nobles chose to go to the southeastern province.
Became a knight vassal of the kingdom.
Only a very small number of nobles chose to stay on the border.
This includes Fang Yuan and Sam.
This time in the enfeoffment of the new territory, the nobles they left had absolute priority.
You may not be able to pick the best site.
But you can choose the next level at will.
Even the royal family gave them several pieces of land outside Rainbow Valley to choose from.
I have to say that the nobles in this secret era treat those who are obedient.
Is really willing to give benefits.
This may be a rule unique to this era.
Fang Yuan heard Sam's inquiry.
His eyes fell on the swamp collar.
When Sam saw this, he suddenly became anxious.
"Efron."
"The swamp territory is remote and has no use value."
“It’s not worth going back.”
Fang Yuan smiled lightly after hearing this.
"Of course!"
"But Sam."
"You have decided to go to the Red River Valley."
"So, is your family's territory in the swamp territory going to be abandoned?"
Sam nodded.
"Other pioneering nobles may come in the future."
"But that's not our concern anymore."
Fang Yuan pondered a little.
"Give it to me."
"I want your territory in the swamp territory."
"The site I chose is right here."
See the place Fang Yuan chose.
Sam frowned.
Although not swampland.
But it was stuck at the entrance to the swamp collar.
There is a small plain here where food can be grown.
There are also a lot of forest resources and a small iron mine.
Before this achievement was made.
The biggest wish of the Sam family is to own this territory.
But now they no longer look down on this.
In the territory of the Red River Valley.
The Sam family not only has contiguous fertile farmland, but also rich coal and iron ore.
At the same time, we are still on the inevitable trade route.
Every month just for business tax, you can collect two thousand gold coins.
If it weren't for the miraculous achievements of the Sam family.
This kind of territory can only be owned by the earl family.
How could it be his turn?
Sam's original plan was to let Fang Yuan become his neighbor.
From now on, the two families will intermarry.
Merge two rich territories to build capital for future generations to advance to count.
But he didn't expect that Fang Yuan didn't follow his plan at all.
"Efron."
“We can have better choices.”
"Just leave these places to those who live in ruins."
Fang Yuan shook his head.
He naturally has his own reasons for choosing this way.
The legions around him have reached six thousand.
There are too many forces that cannot be exposed.
Swamp collar is the best place to cover yourself.
While it is located in a remote area, the territory it controls is also located on a major transportation thoroughfare.
You can go to the Rainbow Territory by going northwest, and you can enter the Tyre Plain by going northeast.
Turning to the north, you can enter the orc territory again.
Now the orcs have spread the news that they will send 500,000 troops to start a war.
It is not easy to attract attention when you are in this place.
You can completely use this territory to profit from the war.
Fang Yuan has not forgotten.
What is the purpose of coming here?
It's not like playing house with the nobles in the secret realm.
But to kill the gods!
There's more than one.
Now the war will begin.
The heroes around me have said this more than once.
Take your chance this time.
If you can break into the grassland and find the temple.
Maybe he can kill the beast god.
Fang Yuan also had this idea.
Quick victory.
It is impossible for him to stay in this secret realm for ten years.
There were more important things to accomplish in the Old World.
Sam saw that Fang Yuan had no chance of letting go.
Suddenly he thought of the alchemist behind him.
"Is it because of him!"
It's not impossible to think about it.
Perhaps it was because the other party took a fancy to the Swamp Territory that they let Efron stay.
After realizing this, Sam stopped trying to persuade him.
Just said.
"Efron, even if we are separated, our friendship remains."
"You can't forget me."
Hearing Sam's disgusting words, Fang Yuan smiled.
Know what he wants to say.
"As long as there is a magic crystal."
"Everything is easy to discuss."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
The opportunity to pick a territory will come soon.
Fang Yuan successfully obtained the site of Moulin Rouge, which controlled the entrance to the swamp.
The lord who was originally here had his entire family destroyed during the orc invasion war.
Not one of them was left alive.
The origin of Moulin Rouge actually stems from this.
The nobles who settled here.
Often in the wars where the orcs invaded, they would be defeated and wiped out.
That's the price of being in traffic.
Fortunately, Fang Yuan has no family.
Don't be afraid of these.
From now on, the Moulin Rouge will grind the blood of the enemy.
After getting the territorial document conferring the seal.
Sam stopped Fang Yuan and took him to a side courtyard.
Here he met the governor of Tire.
"Your Excellency the Governor."
"Efron is too young, he still wants to protect the border for his country."
“That’s why I chose Moulin Rouge.”
"But we cannot chill the hearts of these loyal knights."
"Look, the swamp nobles have all left."
"How about giving the entire swamp to Efron and letting him manage it on his behalf."
The entire swamp is huge.
In the Alpha Kingdom, only the Duke can own such a large territory.
Even the governor of Tire City was shocked by Sam's words.
"Sam, do you know what you're talking about?"
"Even if I were willing, the kingdom would not agree."
Sam chuckled.
"This is ten thousand gold coins."
"I hope you can help us."
"The swamp is for those who live in ruins. Just don't let them in."
Seeing the golden ticket that is redeemable across the country in front of you.
The governor of Tire City swallowed.
He knew that the swamp nobles had made a fortune in Lehman City.
But I didn't expect to be so rich.
Ten thousand gold coins, just give it to me.
"What you said is not unreasonable."
"It's just~"
When he said this, Sam took back the golden ticket.
“Then it’s not difficult~”
The governor hurriedly stopped him.
Grab the golden ticket.
"How could it be difficult if it wasn't difficult?"
"Efron."
"In two days, you will receive the paperwork to take charge of the swamp."
"From now on you will be a veritable governor of the swamp."
hehe.
After the nobles left, only the frogmen were left in the swamp.
And there are no nobles who regularly exterminate frogmen.
The swamp land will be occupied by these creatures that reproduce extremely quickly.
The danger will then overflow.
The governor of Tire City has reason to regain management authority.
That's why he wanted to help.
It's equivalent to getting 10,000 gold coins for free.
Why not.
After finishing this matter.
Fang Yuan and Sam left Tell City.
This city guarding the plains is still crowded with people.
A large number of wandering knights came here, seeking a new territory.
Especially after traveling thousands of miles.
Many second sons of nobles in the Alpha Kingdom appeared here with their family's private soldiers.
They will form the kingdom's strongest shield at the border.
As for the invasion of half a million orcs.
This is nothing to the Alpha Kingdom.
It’s not like a million-dollar decisive battle has never happened before.
War is nothing more than normal for humans in this secret realm.
But they don't know.
Behind this war, there is also the promotion of this god.
After getting the land documents.
Fang Yuan said goodbye to Sam.
Returned to the swamp territory with Christian.
When entering the Moulin Rouge.
A troop of cavalry soon appeared at his side.
This is the Holy Light Knight who has just woken up.
The strongest knight force under Fang Yuan's command.
He is also a direct descendant of Christian.
The number of awakened people is not much, only 900.
But the strength of each one is that of a high-level professional.
It is also the strongest combat force under Fang Yuan now.
The castle of Moulin Rouge has been destroyed.
This stone castle looks solid, but it was built in the wrong location.
Has fatal flaws.
After Fang Yuan decided to treat this place as a temporary territory.
He sent Aria to re-select the location of the city.
When he returned to his territory.
Aria found Fang Yuan.
"Your Excellency."
"I recommend this as the location for building the city."
Fang Yuan took a look.
"On a traffic artery?"
Aria nodded.
"Yes, after building a castle here."
"Go to the back and build a new one in the original place."
"Go to the middle of the two castles and build a bridge across the river."
"In this way, if the enemy wants to attack, he must withstand the counterattack of the defensive forces of the two castles."
“Good advice.”
"Take the Mori Giant and do it."
"Yes!"
After handling the matter, Fang Yuan summoned Brainy.
"What happened to the infiltration plan?"
In the subsequent awakening of the soldiers.
Fang Yuan chose to revive many orc legions.
There are fox wizards, bunny archers, tauren warriors and so on.
Then he had an idea.
Use these orcs to infiltrate the orc kingdom.
Find the location of the Beast God's temple.
Brainy had successfully infiltrated Lehman City with three hundred Khajiit Berserkers.
Fang Yuan gave this task to him.
"Your Excellency."
"The news coming back so far."
"Some fox people have successfully broken into a caravan in the royal capital."
"The rest of the orcs have not made further progress yet."
"And according to the news sent back by the fox people."
"The Beastman King has not discovered the temple of the Beast God."
"They discovered that no one in the royal capital of the orc kingdom believed in God."
"They only believe in their ancestors."
"After many inquiries, the orcs' belief in gods is mainly found in poor nomadic areas."
"Now I have sent the tauren warriors to join the mercenary group and go there to investigate."
"I believe there will be new news soon."
"In addition, there is a piece of information that may be of interest to the Lord."
Fang Yuan asked immediately after hearing it.
"Is it related to the invasion of the south by the orcs?"
Brainy nodded.
"This time half a million troops are still gathering."
"But there are rumors that the grassland will send a legion of 80,000 to join."
"But the command is independent and does not need to obey the king."
After hearing this news.
Fang Yuan was keenly aware.
This is probably what the beast god noticed.
“My sense of smell is really keen.”
"The Beast God's side must be suspicious of Lehman City's actions this time."
Brainy nodded.
"I guess so."
"How can the swamp nobles be so powerful as to take over Lehman City?"
"But they probably haven't obtained substantive evidence yet."
"Therefore, the purpose of this war will not be combat."
"But look for traces of your lord."
Fang Yuan stood up, walked for a while and said.
"If we want to hide it, can we hide it?"
Brainy replied decisively.
"I can definitely do it."
"Just put the main force in the swamp and hire some ordinary legions."
"But your lord."
"We already have more than six thousand troops."
"And these heroes who have awakened."
"I think we should take action when it's time to take action."
"Kill the beast god and weaken the enemy."
"Thus strengthening itself."
"Furthermore, the border nobles of the Alpha Kingdom are also a huge force."
"Perhaps we can still use them to complete it during the war."
“It just takes planning.”
After hearing this, Fang Yuan pondered slightly and nodded.
Then he raised his head and looked at Brainy.
"You said the Alpha Border nobles could be our help."
"So!"
"Is it possible that the nobles of the Orc Kingdom can also help us?"
Fang Yuan's words made Brainy very confused.
"Your Excellency, how should we do this?"
Fang Yuan's mind was spinning very fast and he said quickly.
"In the orc kingdom, the struggle for royal power and divine power is fierce."
"Based on the intelligence you detected previously."
"The nobles of the Orc Kingdom invaded the grassland more than once, but were defeated later."
"What if!"
"We won this border conflict."
"And severely damaged the orc nobles."
"And the power of the Beast God is intact."
"Do you think the nobles of the Beastman Kingdom will be frightened by the Alpha Kingdom, or should they be afraid of the Beast God on the grassland first?"
Brainy's eyes suddenly lit up after hearing this.
"Your Excellency, are you trying to kill someone with a borrowed knife?"
Fang Yuan nodded.
"This matter also requires your cooperation in entering the territory of the Orc Kingdom."
"You lurk first, and then send Qingfeng to inform you if you have specific plans later."
"Yes, Your Excellency."
Shortly after Blaney left.
A griffin knight fell from the sky.
Then he hurriedly walked to Fang Yuan.
"Report."
"Your Excellency, the latest news."
"All the frogmen in the swamp have been wiped out."
"And just now!" "We found an alchemy hut in the swamp!" (End of Chapter)
