Chapter 479

Moens's face was full of helplessness. After a bitter smile, he put a letter on a mahogany table.

In fact, this is a circular letter.

An announcement letter from panda.

The content of the circular letter is not complicated, that is, panda leader wants yadebi leader to open the military right of way and allow panda leader's army to pass normally.

Aristocracy, there are aristocratic practices and bottom lines.

If you want to pass through a territory of other nobles, you can move in a small team without saying hello, but if it is a large-scale troop movement, you must obtain the military right of way opened by the Lord, otherwise it is tantamount to provoking the Lord of the territory, which is naturally an invasion. To the extent of noble face, it's strange that the other party doesn't fight with you - of course, this is based on the small power gap between each other.

Sean's approach, there is no fault, at least this way of greeting is indeed a decent aristocratic behavior.

And generally, along with the application for military right of way, there must be some relevant compensation, or friendly and mutually beneficial policies - you can't let others pay, but there's no benefit? In particular, the higher the title and status, the larger the compensation scheme, which is actually one of the ways to show the family's heritage and strength.

However, the circular letter from Pan Daling did not offer any compensation, but ended with a sentence.

"If you do not open the military right of way to us, we will regard this act as a provocation to us, and we will take military action if necessary."

To put it simply, it means "if you are smart, you will quickly provide us with the military right of way for free. Otherwise, as soon as my army leaves, I will fight with your territory."

Threats.

A naked threat.

But pan Daling has this strength. What can you do?

Under normal circumstances, Moens would open up directly without thinking. He is just a field baron. In the face of Sean, who can obtain the status of Earl of strength even in the kingdom of dabion, he simply has no power to fight back.

But this time, he was unable to promise.

More than a year ago, he was a member of Boulder's faction and took part in the military operation against panda with hundreds of private troops.

But what happened?

Before the war, the Lord of the chilav leader was captured alive, the private army of the territory was destroyed, and even the chilav leader was completely occupied. Later, when the war officially started, it was only a few hours. When the number was twice that of the other party, he was still defeated by the other party from the front. Then there was complete chaos and flight for a week. He finally formed a private army of more than 500 people, and finally came back alive with less than 100 people.

Then there is the compensation.

Although the boulder family also gave some compensation afterwards, it still hurt his vitality. In the next few years, he will barely maintain the balance of revenue and expenditure of the territory, not to mention army expansion and training. Even if he wants to live in luxury, it is impossible. Now, the private army in his territory has just gathered a hundred people, and can only barely maintain the public security of a small city. Even bandits began to appear in the surrounding areas of his territory, and he can't deal with the complete deterioration of public security.

In contrast, pan Daling has completely entered the stage of rapid development since the war.

Now he has 30000 troops. Although they are scattered in three territories, he knows that there are at least tens of thousands of troops in Panda collar. At the beginning, his troops were twice as strong as the other party, and he couldn't win. Now there are only a hundred troops in his territory, but the other party is ten thousand. There is a hundred times gap with the other party. How can we fight this war?

But if the military right of way is opened

Not to mention that Sean is from the Principality of Ryan and has a hostile relationship with dabion, but to say that this time Sean wants to open the military right of way or to fight tingqi in dabion, he will never meet Sean's requirements. What's more, the Hastings family who ruled tinchiin was still a member of the nugus family, and he also chose the nugus family after abandoning the boulder family. It can be said that he and the Hastings family are really in the same camp.

If he really opened the military right of way to Sean, the nugus family would have to operate on him before the kingdom of dabion imposed sanctions on him.

"Father..."

"This time, we may be doomed." Moones looked at his son and smiled bitterly, "whether we open the military right of way or not, we must offend one side."

"That's Sean. He's lying too much!"

Moens's son is a young man of about twenty-five or six. Although he has a certain foundation of martial arts, he is only the lower bronze level. His main energy is focused on territorial governance. Although the military aspect is also slightly involved, after all, he is only a human, not an elf, so of course he can't learn very well. But at least, because he is single-minded and focused, yadby collar has developed very well under his planning.

If there is no accident, in a few years, he will officially take over his father moons's ring and become the new Lord yadby.

"You have studied for so long, why haven't you understood this truth?" Moones looked at his son and sighed softly, "Whoever has great power in this world is qualified to speak. Our family has been handed over to me for the fourth generation, but I still can't let the family move forward. I had hoped it was on you, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen. This time... Our territory is probably really out of control. "

"That's not necessarily true!" After a little meditation, the young man flashed a cruel color on his face and said in a deep voice, "I still have a way!"

……

The same night.

Unlike Moens, who is over half a hundred years old, who has been indifferent to life, Domingo is almost crazy.

In Hastings manor, everything in his study was smashed away.

At the moment, Thain, Taylor and several others around him dare not show their atmosphere. One of them still has a scar on his face - it was scratched by a broken vase when Domingo smashed things in reckless rage just now. Just like this, he dare not stretch out his hand to wipe it.

"You go down and cure the wound first." Although still angry, Domingo glanced at the subordinate whose face was scratched by vase fragments and said.

This subordinate is not famous for his combat effectiveness. He doesn't even have the lower bronze, but he is responsible for some financial management in lomine. Although his working ability is not as good as Qazi, he is also one of the best important figures in lomine. Of course, he was able to enter the study not because of his strong working ability, but because his surname was hastin and his lineage was Domingo.

Hearing Domingo's words, the subordinate immediately nodded and stepped down.

When he was expelled from panda, Domingo did not stay for a moment and went to tinguin all night. With their strength, of course, they can shorten the rest time to the greatest extent, and they also borrowed several war horses when passing through jedubi, so it took only about eight days to rush back to hasting manor, nearly half faster than soma. Of course, as soon as he returned to the manor, Domingo continued to send all the information to Gerson immediately. In this way, nugus knew that in more than half a month, panda would send troops to tingqi.

Even if Gerson is now identified as the next successor to the nugus family, he can't make an immediate decision on this issue - if his power is not completely abolished in the wilderness, maybe he can make an immediate decision.

But at least for now, he needs a family meeting.

But at the moment, the reason why Domingo is angry is not that the nugus family has no response at the moment, but two news just came from jedobi.

First, of course, it was Sean's military right of way notice to yadby collar.

This has now spread to the nugus family. I believe that the whole southern aristocratic circle of dabion will soon know about it.

As for the second, AVI's body was found.

Not only avi, but also the bodies of the other two family Knights of the Hastings family who are the next golden strong, but also the elite of the second cavalry regiment he sent out at the beginning, but only the bodies of soma and Biqi are missing.

There is no doubt that this team was the one Domingo asked them to come immediately because of the territorial contract documents led by panda. However, when he was expelled from pandaling, he immediately tried to contact the team to let them return to the territory, but unexpectedly, he was intercepted and killed halfway. How can Domingo not be angry? You know, one of the dead is his eldest son!

Even avi still has a big gap with Thain in all aspects, but it is also Domingo's biological son!

That's why Domingo is really angry!

"Have you found out who did it?" Domingo said angrily with red eyes.

"According to Baron yadby's investigation, we can only judge that the attack at that time should be relatively abrupt and rapid, and there were absolutely a lot of people on the side of the attack, because the scene was very chaotic." Taylor spoke in a very steady voice, but Thain, who was familiar with Taylor, could hear it. Taylor was trying to suppress his anger. "I suspect it was the leader of panda. After all, the location where young master avi was killed was only two or three days away from the void city. In such a short time, he would be attacked by a force, No one can do it except the raid launched by the army mobilized by panda. "

"Not necessarily." Thain shook his head. "Think about it, the heroic sword can disperse the whole mercenary into the void City, so it's not very difficult to hide an elite small-scale army around. This proves that the other side should have a relatively strong military force, but it is relatively weak in high-end combat power. At least with the strength currently shown by the Lord, he probably doesn't need to send another force to do this, because if the scale of the force is too large, it is easy to expose its whereabouts, but if the scale is small, That's the team that can't help Uncle soma. "

When I heard Thain's words, I thought it over, and it was true.

"We were overcast." Domingo's face showed a look of resentment, "the other party first sent someone to intercept avi, and then arranged a shadow assassin to assassinate Sean, obviously in order to provoke a fight between us, or even..."

At this point, Domingo's face showed a trace of horror, and Thain was only one step slower than his father, and he was also immediately aware of the danger.

If those shadow assassins succeed in their assassination and then deliberately leave a clue to the embassy, they will be directly killed in the void city by the excited void city guard army. On the other side, because avi, soma and Qazi, the real elite core executives of tingqi Yinling, were also killed, the whole tingqi Yinling was completely in a headless situation.

In this case, tinkie's collar is just a piece of fat that anyone can bite.

Of course, if Domingo's idea was known to Sean, he would scoff. Because from the beginning, he didn't want tingqi to be annexed by other nobles around him. He can only say that it was a great coincidence that the Creed Assassin went to assassinate Sean that night, which was tantamount to giving Sean a more reasonable excuse to declare war. However, Sean and the Creed Assassin could be regarded as mutually beneficial, Maybe we can reduce some conflicts in the future.

"Now no matter who the guy who wants to frame us first, we have to work together to deal with the current difficulties Immediately transfer all the soldiers under his command back and arrange them along the border. Try to choose a relatively broad flat terrain where it is more suitable for cavalry charging. "

Soon, Domingo immediately turned the pain of losing his son into a driving force and began a series of military mobilization plans for the upcoming war.

On the contrary, there was no movement at all in the publicity and other tricks on tingqi's side. It seemed that panda didn't care about the war at all. Only the two private soldiers in Dayi's lead were urgently transferred back, and the steel wings were pulled out to the border line adjacent to tingqi's lead. At the same time, some relevant fortifications and facilities were taken at the border, After all, William has made it clear that tingqi has more than 30000 private soldiers, which is by no means affordable to the average count.

Even Athena was a little hard to raise; And Sean, if it were not for the war and the continuous supply of logistics, Sean could only embark on the helpless move of disarmament.

Fortunately, it's not needed now.

As long as he takes tinkie in, Sean will no longer be unable to make ends meet.

Almost at this moment, a simple carriage, escorted by seven guards, drove into the void City, and then stopped at the door of the Lord's house under William's personal guidance.
