Chapter 242

Viscount Rudd has been having nightmares lately.

Since a month ago, he saw a red fire cloud burst out from the direction of the former shaov leader, he fell into a panic mood, which put too much pressure on him. Even if he didn't understand anything, he could feel the terrible power contained in the fire cloud. This power raised an unmatched illusion in his heart. At this moment, he regretted coming to the trouble of Lord panda.

Rudd mitchlin is an emerging aristocrat of the kingdom of dabion. After becoming an aristocrat, this family based on commercial development did not integrate into the aristocratic system of the kingdom of dabion soon, but was strongly excluded in the old aristocratic circle, and the emerging aristocratic circle is mainly dominated by the military reformers, As a businessman, the Michelin family is naturally difficult to integrate. Although Rudd was placed high hopes by his father when he was young, hoping to expand the influence of the family, whether it is to integrate into the old aristocratic circle or the emerging aristocratic circle, it is a good thing for the Michelin family.

That's why Rudd joined the union without hesitation after knowing the identity of lonnis. As long as he can catch up with the boulder family, the most influential aristocrat in the Dabian Kingdom, he will become the hottest person in the whole Dabian kingdom in a moment. At that time, let alone integrate into the old aristocratic circle or the new aristocratic circle, the people of these two aristocratic circles will even turn to win him over.

Out of this beautiful expectation, Rudd will put all his capital into this gamble.

He is still somewhat confident in his ability.

Perhaps he can't compare with Baron lonnis in military ability, but he also has the specialty that lonnis doesn't have - he is one of the few lords in the kingdom of dabion who can manage military affairs and government affairs at the same time. With his efforts, his territory has gradually become prosperous. Now he no longer needs to invest funds in trade and commerce, but can start to feed back funds to him, which also allows him to start to devote more attention and energy to the construction of the army.

Originally, his life should become more and more beautiful.

But I don't know why, once he thought of the fire cloud he saw a month ago, he would feel a burst of fear. It's the kind of fear from the bottom of his heart and uncontrollable shock. He hasn't slept safely for nearly a month. Even if there are two superior silver experts around him, I don't know why Rudd has no sense of security.

He always wondered if it would be too rash to agree to lannis's invitation to join the coalition plan?

Rudd got up from the bed and looked at the empty soft bed. He didn't know why there was a sudden loneliness.

His family is still too young. It began to develop from his great grandfather's generation. After three generations of efforts, his father finally became an aristocrat, but he just had an identity and title. After that, although he got married, he worked hard to become a local aristocrat for most of his life. In Rudd's impression, he and his father didn't meet several times a year until he was eight or nine years old. His father became a local aristocrat, but his mother died of illness.

Acacia becomes a disease.

He once hated his father, so when his father arranged to go to the Military Academy at the age of nine, he didn't refuse. He just wanted to be as far away from his father as possible. Then he stayed at the Military Academy for six years without ever returning home. After graduation at the age of 16, he served in the Royal Army of dabion as an officer, also in lonnis. After three years of training, he joined the Kingdom expeditionary army at the age of 19. After four years of war, he caught up with the invasion of the Principality of lane. That war was also the first time he led his troops back to his father's territory as an officer to participate in the defense war.

As a result, needless to say, the kingdom of dabion was completely defeated, and the territory his father worked hard for all his life became the booty of others.

Therefore, his father was seriously ill. When he was dying, Rudd seemed to have finally found his conscience and went to see his father for the last time. It was also that side that made him firm in the idea of making the Michelin family become a great nobleman in the kingdom of dabion. Therefore, he gave up the possible title of earl, inherited his father's title of viscount, became a local nobleman, and then continued to work hard for the development of the family and territory.

After nearly five years of development, his territory finally began to prosper.

But looking back, Rudd found that he seemed to have missed a lot of things. Somehow, he suddenly remembered the sweet smile in his memory, but the family power behind the smile also made Rudd understand that the girl was not able to climb up by herself. As the second daughter of Prince kazez hodgdie, her future had long been determined. Even if he wanted to marry her, her father would not agree.

That's a prince's daughter.

"If we can catch the boulder family line..." Rudd whispered.

The cruelty of reality has made him understand that even if he can develop the territory better and the army stronger, he is only a piece of fat in the eyes of others without allies. Wars often break out between nobles. As long as it is not the scale of national war, other surrounding lords are naturally unable to intervene. Instead, they are happy to see its success, and may even have the idea of sharing a share. Therefore, wars between nobles are usually a contest of strength and allies.

"As long as I can get into Prince kazez's sight, maybe I will really have a chance." Rudd clenched his hands, and his inner fear began to gradually calm down. "Even if I didn't connect with the boulder family, the future of lonnis is also unlimited. As long as I continue to maintain friendly relations with him, I can succeed! I have nothing to lose in this big bet. Anyway, I will win anyway! "

Like hypnosis, Rudd kept cheering himself up, and his eyes gradually became quiet.

There was a rapid knock on the door.

"Come in." Said Rudd in a deep voice.

The door was pushed open and a middle-aged man in plain clothes stepped in.

The two superior silver masters under Rudd's command were all those who followed his father and were cultivated by his father after exhausting his efforts. However, the strength of these two people does not seem to be very good. They are over 40 and are still in the stage of superior silver. If there is no big opportunity, these two people will probably stop at this level in their life. Fortunately, however, the two family knights were loyal to the Michelin family. At least they never wanted to leave. They also survived with Rudd in the most painful and difficult days. Now they both have their own manor.

"Uncle Northen, what's the matter?" Seeing the face of the middle-aged man, Rudd quickly asked.

"Young master, Baron lonnis has lost."

"Failed?" Rudd was slightly stunned and then said, "what's going on?"

"The Lord is more cunning and aggressive than we thought." Northen said in a deep voice, "a few days ago, he secretly entered Baron lonnis's territory and launched a raid. We don't know the specific process of the battle, but according to the information received, the Lord named Sean started with a raid, created a great chaos in Baron lonnis's camp, and then seemed to control the stables area, The heavy cavalry that forced Baron lonnis could not start the formation, and then the fighting situation was not clear. "

"At present, we only know that Baron lonnis should fall into Sean's hands, and now the Lord is leading the troops back in a swagger. According to the feedback of the Rangers, the scale is about 400 people."

"Lonnie lost?" Rudd frowned. "Is there any way to find out how many people the Lord took when the war broke out?"

"No way." Northen shook his head regretfully. "The situation is very complicated now. The other two barons are going to withdraw, young master. I think we should also withdraw now? "

Instead of answering Northen's question, Rudd frowned and asked, "do you say the Lord is making a swaggering return now?"

Although I don't know why Rudd asked, Northen said, "yes."

"The Lord has great ambition." Rudd's eyebrows wrinkled deeper. Naturally, the person who can develop the territory's government and military affairs will never be a straw bag, "what he wants is a war. you 're right! This leader's main task is a war! Modge and Elsie, even us, are just excuses and pretexts. There must be some unknown secret in modge's collar! Uncle Northen, get the map. "

Although Northen didn't understand, he immediately took the map as Rudd told him.

In fact, this map is not much different from the map that yasina gave Sean, but the names of some places on the map are different, but the fineness is obviously better. It can be comparable with the fineness of the map remade by William. Therefore, it can be seen that Rudd does not pay more attention to the map than William.

But Rudd didn't see anything wonderful on this map. His first reaction was that the Principality of lane had some secret information they didn't know. It was possible that there was a treasure buried in modge's territory. But he soon overturned this idea, because if it was just like this, they could organize a small team to enter, which would not attract attention.

After a few seconds of meditation, Rudd drew the general situation of the map on a piece of white paper, marked the enemy and us with red and blue, and then painted the area representing modge's collar red.

When Rudd finished this action, the whole person was stunned in an instant, and his face was like a ghost, terrified: "strategic forward base!"

Even though Northen knew nothing about military issues, he also knew that the six words "strategic forward base" meant that he looked up and looked at Rudd in disbelief: "does the Marquis of tonis want to start another war?"

"Even if not, as long as this territory is taken by her, all the surrounding areas will be clamped down by her. At that time, they will really be completely in the shadow of her threat." Rudd's face turned a little white. His already quiet and peaceful heart panicked again. He uneasily thought of the fire cloud he saw a month ago. "Immediately find a way to inform the boulder family. I'll lead the troops to set out now. In any case, I must save Baron lonnis!"

"But..."

"Nothing but, uncle Northen!" Rudd said in a deep voice, "we have nothing to lose, so this time we are the winner anyway. But if the kingdom of dabion doesn't exist, no matter how much we win, we are also losers Marquis tonis would never have come up with such a strategy. Lord Sean Connery is completely crazy!
