Chapter 64: Jointly dispatching troops
“Thank you two uncles for your help. I, Opal Lawrence, am grateful!”
Opal Lawrence pretended to be extremely grateful and even delivered it outside the castle himself.
“Revenge for Baron Pape is what we should do!”
“Yes, don’t worry, we will definitely avenge Baron Pape.”
“That **** Lord of Eagle Ridge is going to be spurned by the goddess of life.”
Baron Valmy and Baron Graton spoke one after another, their words were firm, as if they really wanted to help Baron Pape take revenge.
“Thank you so much!”
Opal Lawrence also spoke.
In the midst of friendship between the two parties, they parted ways.
Just after Baron Valmy left, he and Baron Graton quickly sent knights to investigate the entire situation.
They are not fools. It is impossible for Opal Lawrence to take whatever he says.
Even if that piece of news is indeed tempting enough.
But there are some things that they will not feel at ease if they are not confirmed.
It seems to be cooperating with them to confirm.
A few days later.
The knights who were sent out got the news.
Hongying Ridge does have iron ore.
They found a large number of knights and traces of a large number of ore transportation dozens of miles away from Eagle Ridge.
This news instantly made both of them excited.
tens of miles.
Just kidding, if there were no large iron mines, how could a pioneer lord occupy territory dozens of miles away?
This undoubtedly proves the words of Opal Lawrence.
Baron Valmy and Baron Graton immediately began to prepare quickly.
Three days later.
Graton Territory.
castle.
"The situation has been determined. The pioneer lord is a descendant of the Dressrosa family."
“In addition, there are traces of mining within dozens of miles of its territory, which should be the large iron ore discovered by Baron Pape.”
Baron Grattan spoke in a low voice, his eyes flashing with excitement.
"That descendant of Dressrosa is not easy to deal with. I have already inquired about it. There are hundreds of trainee knights in its territory, at least more than twenty formal knights, and there is also a great knight. This strength is no less than the strength of our two territories combined.”
Baron Valmy frowned and spoke.
“Indeed, the Dressrosa family is worthy of being a count family, and the pioneering lords are not comparable to us.”
“However, we don’t need to fight him head-on. We just need to win that large iron mine.”
“Baron Gratton, we can do this!”
Two people were discussing in the castle.
In the two territories, a number of knights began to gather quickly.
Compared to the strength of the Lawrence family, they are indeed much weaker, but there are still five or six formal knights in each territory, as well as their own high knights, and dozens of trainee knights.
Including slaves, there can be more than 2,000 people.
The two gatherings amounted to more than 4,000 people.
At the same time, the two territories are gathering.
Thor also quickly got the news.
In fact, he deliberately leaked the traces of the mine’s location.
The purpose is to attract the main forces of the two territories to the location of the mine.
At this moment, almost 90% of his strength is gathered in the mine.
Five magic crystal cannons, plus nearly thirty formal knights, hundreds of trainee knights, hundreds of reserve knights, and thousands of slaves are enough to ensure nothing goes wrong.
In comparison, the entire Xiongying Ridge is almost an empty shell.
There is very little strength left.
Moreover, the construction of Xiongying Ridge has just begun, and he does not want the war to destroy it.
Even though he had Neal Morton's back, he had already negotiated with Neal Morton. Thor had no intention of letting this person take action unless it was absolutely necessary.
After all, if you use this thing once, it will undoubtedly be lost once.
Sky knights like Neal Morton can be used in many places in the future.
The location of the mine.
Three days ago.
Thor returned again with his men.
These days, he has been arranging deployment.
And preparations for war.
In three days, everything was almost ready.
Just need to wait for the other party to arrive next.
“How is the situation?”
In a room, Thor couldn't help but look at Steve who had just walked in.
“Sir, the preparations are complete, and the remaining two magic crystal cannons have also been placed!”
Steve nodded and spoke seriously.
"good!"
“If we can win it in one fell swoop this time, everyone will get twice the merit.”
Thor laughed and nodded, with a hint of expectation in his expression.
If the first battle is his battle to gain a foothold, then this battle is undoubtedly his battle to rise.
If he can directly capture the two remaining nobles in one fell swoop, his presence in the entire Maine Valley will no longer be shaken. At the same time, he will also gain a large amount of resources to contribute to the subsequent development of the territory.
It can be said to be extremely important.
“Thank you, sir!”
Steve nodded excitedly.
And in preparation.
The two sides also began to become tense.
The atmosphere in the entire Maine Valley suddenly became tense.
Even other pioneer lords vaguely felt this tension.
In the midst of this tension.
Time is passing quickly.
Five days passed in a blink of an eye.
When the sixth day comes.
In the Valmy Territory and the Graton Territory, groups of people began to move towards the mine.
At the same time in Lawrence territory, Opal Lawrence also set out with a large number of troops.
As a revenge for his father, he naturally sent people.
Compared to others, he only sent serfs.
And he followed everyone at the back.
The purpose is self-evident.
Revenge, of course, it is impossible to take revenge.
All he wanted was to let his father die together with his eldest brother.
The two lords Graton and Valmy did not pay too much attention to his actions.
The Lawrence family, which has lost the power of its great knights and can only rely on mercenary knights, has no threat to them. As long as they wait a few years, the Lawrence family will inevitably decline and even disappear. .
Just kidding, it’s not that easy to spend thousands of gold coins a year.
Without spending, the Lawrence family basically has no gold coins to cultivate their own knight force.
This will inevitably form a vicious cycle.
And more importantly, the mercenary knights are not family knights and do not have contracts.
In this case, no one can be sure what will happen.
At this moment, the Lawrence family is not a greater threat than they are to each other.
