Chapter 67： war begins

"I want to ask you a question. After entering the border of Arda, I feel that the atmosphere is inexplicably tense. I saw militiamen training in the villages along the way. Did the pirates attack again?" Hansel asked.

"Touch!" Paul pointed to the east with his right hand like a pistol, and said, "I was just about to tell you that Arda is about to go to war with its neighbors to the east!"

Hansel was taken aback: "Beilding? Isn't the lord there having a good relationship with the Greiman family?"

"Hehe! You know quite a lot."

"Uh...Didn't I tell you that before, I stayed in Butuya for a while and heard a lot about the Ganard family."

Paul stopped going around in circles: "You mentioned to me before that old Garnard's death was strange?"

Hansel nodded.

Paul continued: "It is now certain that he was killed by his vassals. His son, the new lord of Bairding, Melon Ganard, sent me a message for help. The traitors not only murdered his Father, you still have to attack him."

Hansel understood: "So you are going to help Earl Garnard?"

Paul said meaningfully: "On the one hand, Mellon is my blood-sworn brother, and I have to save him. On the other hand, there are coal mines and iron mines with high output in Bairding..." Then he stopped said.

Hansel nodded, thinking of the industrial planning that Paul told him before he returned to the capital, it is not difficult to imagine what the lord in front of him is thinking. "Fight against the vassals who betrayed the lord", this is really an excellent excuse for intervention.

"Then Lord Garnard..."

"McLong has stayed safely in Huxin Town, and now we can concentrate on dealing with those traitors."

Hansel was relieved. If Earl Garnard was still in the hands of his vassals, it would be difficult. The other party could argue that Paul was slandering them. As for whether he can win the battle, he is not too worried. Before he set off to return to the capital, he saw Arda's army marching in Huxin Town. He swore that even in the capital, he had never seen such a uniform and uniform pace. The spirit of the soldiers is comparable to the ceremonial soldiers in the palace, and there is a faint murderous look. No matter how ignorant Hansel was about military affairs, he knew that such an army could not be resisted by minor nobles like viscounts and barons. No wonder Earl Greiman was reluctant to send his soldiers to the south to counter the rebellion.

Paul looked at Hansel and said, "Could you do me a favor? I need a wonderful war declaration. I heard that your grades in Wang Li Jingyao College are very good. Writing an article should not be a problem for you." Bar?"

"I don't dare to be outstanding, but if your lord really thinks that I will be the writer, I will be extremely honored!" Hansel became humble, which made Paul feel a little uncomfortable.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you. I'll introduce you to Myron later, and we'll talk about Bairding."

…

Time passed day by day, during which Bairding sent envoys several times to invite Myron Garnard to go back, but Myron refused all of them. Paul convened some very experienced people to form an organization called the "Weather Bureau". Their daily task is to observe and record the weather, and to speculate on the weather changes in the next few days based on the summed up experience.

By September 1st, autumn is coming, and the Meteorological Bureau speculates that there should be a high probability that there will be no rain in the next few days. Paul also felt that his army was almost ready, and it was time for a showdown.

A circular was distributed to the northwestern territories including Bairding. In the circular, the four vassals of Bairding who had clearly participated in the conspiracy were first reprimanded in the name of Earl Meron Garnard, exposing them for murdering the lord. The fact that they made false claims and tried to kill the heirs of the lord, and then they quoted scriptures and severely punished their rebellious behavior. At the same time, this notice is also an ultimatum, requiring An Qiluo and others to tie themselves to Huxin Town to request within two days after receiving the notice, otherwise the lord of Arda, Earl Greyman, will swear to his blood brothers Deliver justice and lead the crusade.

After reading the notice, the four vassals of Bairdin confirmed that Mellon had known about their crimes and plots. Except for An Qiluo, the other four were in a panic and panic, worried that the surrounding lords would send troops to attack them. He jumped up again and accused An Qiluo.

"A bunch of idiots!" An Qiluo cursed inwardly. He looked confident, and said calmly: "Do you think that I am as unprepared as you are? I only worry about this and that when things come to an end. I might as well tell you and let you feel at ease. I have contacted Well, Lord Flower, the Duke of the Northwest, and the Earl of Kent of Emden, they have agreed not to interfere in this matter. Without these two strongest lords in the Northwest to take the lead, other people will be full and support us. thing?"

One of the barons was still worried: "Even if there is only one family left, Paul Greiman is an earl after all, and he can recruit a lot of troops in his territory. He even wiped out two pirate groups not long ago!"

Angelo looked disdainful: "I've already found out, the great pirate Edward led his heirs to disappear for several months, how much power can the remaining group of shrimp boys have. As we all know, although his family is an earl, UU reading was sent here by the royal family, let alone a vassal in the territory, not even a regular knight, just by summoning How capable is the farmer? When we gather all the knights and charge, they will be so scared that they will stick their butts on the ground and beg for their lives."

Only then did the other three calm down, and the two barons flattered Angelo one after another: "It's still the Master Chief who has the foresight!"

Angelo stroked his mustache proudly.

An annoying voice rang out: "Hehe! It takes a lot of money to bribe those two lords, right? Tell me, has the money bank in the lord's mansion been emptied by you, the chief executive?"

An Qiluo was furious in his heart: "At this time, is he still thinking about the money bank of the lord's mansion?"

But on the surface, he just snorted coldly, raised his head and said: "I am the upright Chief Seal Keeper of the Bairding Territory. During the period when the lord is 'hijacked', I have to manage the treasury in the lord's mansion. Until the lord come back or..."

Angelo stopped suddenly, glanced at the crowd and continued, "Maybe after the new Earl Berding is selected from the four of us."

Abbott said coldly: "Hmph! Just don't forget!"

…

A notice of tit-for-tat against Arda was also distributed by Bairding to the Northwest Territories. Angelo and others originally wanted to go to Arda to **** people in September, but Paul took the lead. The notice accused Paul Greyman of coveting the minerals of Berding, and in the name of a banquet, tricked his blood-sworn brother, Myron Garnard, into Lake Town and imprisoned them. Betrayed the lord and attempted to take the opportunity to send troops to Bairding to annex it directly. In order to maintain the dignity of the Garnard family and protect the safety of the territory, they could only stand up and defend themselves.

The war begins...
