The vast fortress coalition slowly walked on the way to Bianfeng Town.

At the forefront is the Knights composed of the six masters of the fortress. From the armor and dress of the knights of each family, the differences in strength of their families can be seen. There is no doubt that the most eye-catching knights under Duke Ryan are all short-tailed horses from the royal capital. They are good at long-distance running and are larger than other horses. The knights sitting on the back of the horse look more majestic. Their armor is made by the blacksmith shop of the fortress "Hammer and Dragon Teeth". The thick silver-shirted chest is carved with a huge lion's head, and two wolf heads are on the shoulder armor, as if they are roaring. The cloak behind them is embroidered with exquisite patterns, and red ribbons are tied around their waists.

These knights are not good. Every year after the end of the Demon Month, they are responsible for leaving the city to clear out the remaining evil beasts and ensure the smooth flow of land. Everyone has accumulated a lot of combat experience. When it comes to fighting alone, they are not much worse than the King Capital Knights, but the number is slightly insufficient. Of course, it is already a very surprising amount to accumulate an elite knight army of 150 people with the power of the duke.

Duke Ryan looked at the sharp army with satisfaction, and there was no doubt that with their strength, no one in the Western Region could stop him.

Walking in the middle of the team were the mercenaries, and their equipment was much inferior in comparison. Most of them wore some old mail or armor, either lacking handguards or helmets. Some of them were only equipped with cheap leather armor, and their weapons were also of various types. They scattered along the road, tied together in groups of three or three, chatting and laughing loudly while walking. It seemed that this trip was not for fighting, but just a spring tour.

At the end of the line were the free people who were forced to be recruited by the lords. They dragged wheels carrying food and tents and followed the mercenaries slowly. The difference in speed of travel made this team of about 1,500 people very long. The front knight troops needed to stop from time to time and wait for the people behind to follow.

"Sir," Earl of Elk, Hiltai Med pulled the reins and let himself and the Duke go hand in hand. "We are still half a day away from Border Town. If it goes well, we should be able to arrive at the dog time (4 pm). At that time, will the troops rest overnight and wait for the next morning to move, or will they attack the Lord's Castle immediately?"

"Do you still want to have a sleep in the wild?" the Duke laughed. "I think we should lie on the big bed of the castle instead of the wet mud barley at night. Of course, the royal family still has to be taken into account. After arriving in the border town, I will send an envoy first to persuade him to surrender."

The Earl of Honeysuckle walked a little forward, and he turned around, "The Knights walked for a day, and the people and horses were exhausted. Would it be inappropriate to attack directly? After all, Roland Wimbledon spent the entire Month of Demon with his little miners. I think it's better to be cautious."

"Haha, it's fine if others don't know it, but you don't even know the background of the evil beasts? My old friend. They are indeed terrible when they are in the wild, they move quickly and have amazing strength. But if there is a wall, most evil beasts are just targets. They are just wild beasts after all." Elk shrugged, "I'm surprised that he could build a city wall so quickly, but with this alone, it's impossible to resist my knights, right? They are not brainless idiots."

"That's true. And I also received a message from the north," Duke Ryan said casually. "This year, Hermes was attacked by a large number of mixed evil beasts, and the New Holy City was almost in the fall. It is not clear why, but it seems that the evil beasts this year are all heading for the Holy City, and there are just a few fish that miss the net in the west."

As the master of the Western Region, his eyes were not only focused on this remote place, but also on all major towns and towns for many years, constantly conveying the latest information from various places to him. The fierce battle in the northern region was not the focus. A few days ago, he received a secret report from the cliff city. The new king Tifeko and the queen of Blushui Garcia broke out in the Eagle City in the southern region. According to previous news, Tifeko's team should have arrived at Eagle City in a month.

The letter did not mention the battle, but only recorded that when Tifeko returned from Cliff City, there was only a few troops left with thousands of people, and he was even unable to block the road as he did when he came. Some people also saw a huge fire in the Eagle City, and the black smoke columns that rose were almost flush with the clouds. The residents of the surrounding towns witnessed this wonder.

There is no doubt that whether Queen Bishui died at the hands of Tifeko, such a tragic loss would be a serious blow to the new king. This secret letter made Duke Ryan ready to move and sent several close friends to the royal capital and the East all night, hoping to find out the current situation of Tifeko. If this battle of the two kings had the opportunity to destroy the new king's unstable regime, he would never mind filling another torch on the fire.

If you want to become king independently, it is almost the best opportunity now. The soldiers in the north are buried at the foot of the holy city. The south has just experienced a big battle, so you obviously need to lie down and lick your wounds. The East and the King will not mention it. I am afraid that they will not be angry within a few years. As long as you pull a group of people to eat the north, you can tear the gray castle in half. By then, the territory and population he owns are comparable to the Yongdong Kingdom, the northernmost part of the continent, and its strength can be completely invincible with the southeast of the gray castle.

And he, Osmon Ryan, will be the first king of this land.

Thinking of this, the Duke smiled proudly. He hoped that after the farce ended today, he would immediately take the prince to his way home tomorrow. If he was lucky, he would welcome the good news from his confidants in the castle in three days.

As the sun gradually sets westward and is about to approach the top of the mountains, Ryan sees the looming outline of the castle in the border town... and a group of densely arranged figures outside the town.

"Father, Duke," Renne Mead, who was responsible for leading the way in front of the team, rushed back to report, "The people in front should be the guards of the Fourth Prince. They all possess weapons, and it seems that we are not welcome."

"It's good, at least we don't have to bother to invite him to the castle," Count Elk laughed, "Go and notify the knights and reduce the speed, and it's still far from the charge."

"Yes, father," Renn took the order and left.

Duke Ryan raised his viewing glass and watched the other party's formation. The team in the mirror seemed very strange. They held a strange weapon, and the people stood in two dense rows next to each other. If we were to say that the weapon was a long spear, the tip of the gun was not visible at all, and the handle was too short. Moreover, the array set by the other party was too unreasonable... Wouldn't such a thin line of defense be penetrated as soon as you rush?

This confused the Duke. Even if the prince has no common sense in the military formation, he still has knights and personal guards, so it is impossible for him to do whatever he wants. After thinking for a while, the Duke decided to let the mercenaries take the lead first, and the knights temporarily stopped in the charging acceleration area and stood by to see what the prince was thinking.

Of course, the messenger who persuaded surrender was still sent. Duke Ryan recruited a personal guard, "Go and tell the prince that I had no intention of hurting him, but the king Tifeco. Wimbledon's will has arrived, and I have to obey it. If you put down your weapons and surrender, he will not be harmed. I will escort him back to the capital as a prince."
