Valance continent, Linyan Town, Marquis Gilly Palmsey's castle.
The two men on horseback quickly passed the suspension bridge, and the guards did not stop them because they saw the sword held high by the leader.
The wide sword grid makes this sword not only easy to recognize, but also unique and special.
After passing the suspension bridge, the two dismounted, and an attendant came to lead the horse away. The two quickly walked to the second suspension bridge.
Marquis Gilly Palmsey was in the hall, chatting with a group of soldiers, his face as dark as water.
When he saw the person coming, he grinned and opened his arms cheerfully.
"Red-haired Yumis! I knew Farbuin had a way to convince you!"
Youmis looked around the hall on the first floor of the castle with a look of envy.
"I'll go...you kid has made a fortune, you..."
Farbuin took off his hood and patted the two people hugging each other.
"Geely, let me take a step to speak."
The Marquis was stunned and quickly led the two of them to the study on the second floor.
"It's great...it's not like that damn place like mine, where you can't even survive without burning firewood or riding horses."
Youmis sat down on the sofa, took off his gloves, and scratched his fiery beard.
"You two... you two, don't be too busy reminiscing about old times."
Geely, who was about to speak, suppressed his words. He smiled at Yumis and greeted his old friend in a simple way.
"My spies in the royal city have received news that the army has set off."
"Oh!? Have you taken action? Where is the first stop?"
“It’s Lihua Town.
The mayor of the town, Count Enzos, has been detained in the royal city, and the soldiers in Lihua Town will be taken away by the king's division. "
"Besides Count N'Zos, who else is being detained in the royal city?"
"Except for you, all the nobles with heavy troops have been detained."
Gilly knocked on the table with an "I knew it" look on his face.
"Fortunately, I listened to your advice and pretended to be sick for a month, otherwise I might have been detained in the royal city this time."
Farbuin took out a piece of parchment from his arms and unfolded it. It was a map of Valance.
"The Crusaders of Primus Divine Cult have also begun to gather, here... Maple Leaf Town."
Gilly frowned, this was bad news for him.
"The reason why they are gathering here is because Archbishop Mordisi is in Maple Leaf Town. The crusaders' gathering must be based on protecting the Holy See."
"It's too close to us..."
"Yes, so I decided to abandon Linyan Town and develop in Huaiye City to the east."
Geely was stunned. This decision meant giving up everything he had gained in half his life.
"Let me not talk about the bottles and jars I saved, so you won't call me stingy. Just eating these two thousand soldiers is a big expense!
After leaving the fiefdom, what should I do to support them? "
Fabuin said two words calmly: "I will provide the food and grass. You just have to ensure their daily training. Your soldiers are still your soldiers. I will not ask for your military power."
"No, I didn't mean that."
Ji Li muttered and scratched his ears: "I said, just having soldiers is not enough. After all, I have such a big castle here in Linyan Town. It is not a problem to guard anything for a year or a year and a half.
When we get to Huaiye City, even if we take the city, the city defense is not as good as the castle...
Ah, no, the lord's castle of Huaiye City is in the city? Isn't that worse? "
"This is not difficult to deal with. I will just buy the castle and Huaiye City together."
Geely was stunned, and Youmis didn't dare to take a breath.
"Don't be so surprised... The lord of Huaiye City, Marquis Amanda, has been deprived of his title. This incident happened suddenly.
He has no son yet, and even if he had a son, he would not be able to inherit the title he was deprived of. "
"Being deprived of your title? What happened?"
“He contradicted Lynn XI on the spot in the palace and is now in jail.
We have to seize this opportunity now and quickly let the soldiers in civilian clothes disperse to the east and assemble in Huaiye City.
Huaiye City is now a hot potato in the hands of Amanda's wife. It would be her wisest choice to cash in and throw it away. I will take the first step to convince her that you and the army will set off together. "
"No, wait a minute, shouldn't we wait for you to convince Mrs. Amanda before setting off?"
"I'm sure I can convince her. Besides, you don't have time anymore, Geely!"
"Why don't I have time?"
Fabien took a sip of water and stared at Geely with serious eyes.
"You, with a heavy army in your hands, haven't taken sides yet. Let me ask you, do you plan to take sides?"
"Didn't I stand? I stand on your side."
“Yes, but I am in the dark, and neither Linn XI nor the Primus Cult know my actions.
You don't support either side.
You have refused the summons of Lin En XI. Although you are claiming to be ill, it is impossible for him not to doubt you.
Now the Crusaders from Premus are gathering in Maple Leaf Town south of you. Let me tell you, within three days, there will be people from Premus coming to demand your attitude.
Let me ask you, do you want to side with the Primus Cult? "
Geely shook his head firmly: "Absolutely impossible, they killed my wife!"
"So, do you plan to be the first victim of this crusade?"
Geely understood that dissidents not only refer to those who oppose him, but also those who disagree with him are also dissidents, and they need to be eradicated.
"Then we have to leave quickly. It's best to leave tomorrow."
Geely frowned and said that what he was planning now was how to break up the army and advance eastward without attracting attention.
"I won't give random orders. You are good at using tactics. It's your business how to get the soldiers to Huaiye City without attracting attention.
But I only have one thing to say, don’t take anything you don’t need to take with you. We are not short of money this time.
I will let the caravan arrive at Huaiye City as soon as possible with standard weapons and armor, and it will not be too long behind you. "
"what about me?"
Youmis's tone was urgent, and he was gearing up like a warrior eager to go to the battlefield.
"You are an invincible presence in front of the two armies. When there is a fight with you...
Oh, by the way, my caravan has probably arrived at Lin Xuecheng at this time. Those horses and other things should have been delivered. You can find someone to send a message and let your elite soldiers go directly to Huaiye City. "
"okay."
After a brief silence, Geely let out a breath. He stretched out his thick fingers and crushed an ant on the table. The ant kept struggling, but it was useless.
"This is a big gamble...Fabuin, it's the same as ten years ago."
Fabuin smiled lightly and said: "It's different, Geely, it's completely different.
Lynn's reign is coming to an end, and he's dead even if we don't do this.
But Lynn's dynasty will not die all at once, he will struggle, and when the prey is struggling, it will often explode with all its potential.
The ones who endured Linn's wild dog's crazy counterattack were the members of the Primus Cult.
Therefore, there is no element of gambling at all, good luck, these are bound to happen, we are just trying to find a foothold for ourselves in this chaotic world. "
