As Jordak himself said, he was an ambitious man. At the sa ti, he also had vision. The grudge between Daniel and Ouban dates back more than ten years, and during these years, Ouban's Earl Colony continued to repeat the process of being taken over and redeed. Ou Ban had endured Daniel's nuisance because of the lack of experts and troops. If not for the Ridley family's huge savings, Oban would have told Daniel to eat it.
For Daniel, Ouban was like a convenient ATM. In order to preserve the Count's dignity and face, Ou Ban would always pay enough ransom to maintain the integrity of his territory.
It wasn't until Alan's sudden ergence that Daniel finally kicked the iron plate. Ever since Alan killed Duruf, Geordak had been paying attention to this baron from the border. That's right, Alan's current strength was still very weak. He needed to rely on Ou Ban to carry out so activities. But judging from Allen's movents, Daniel was keenly aware of Allen's ambitions.
If Mr Allen was rely subservient to Mr Ouban, he would have been more than qualified to win a seat under Mr Ouban's banner, and not too low. However, after he repelled Duruf, he quickly organized an attack on Sunset City. Now, he had even defeated Dawn Castle and repelled Bauhinia. His accomplishnts had already given the other knights in the viscount's territory a headache.
Before that, he had even rejected Daniel's invitation. If he accepted the invitation, it was conceivable that he would get more than Ou Ban could give him.
Together, all of this led Jordak to a conclusion. This Sir Allen was far more ambitious than anyone could have imagined. If it weren't for that grand sche, how could he reject the imdiate benefits?
That's why Jordak chose Ellen, not Ou Ban.
Alan looked up and down at the baron's son and said, "With all due respect, I am honored to be valued so highly by Mr. Geordak." But that's not enough. To be honest, I have already planned to enter Dawn Castle, and I will occupy Duruf's territory as well. "So you see, why should I go to so much trouble to support you in a territory that sooner or later belongs to ?"
Jordak knew that if he didn't reveal his trump card, he would definitely be kicked out of the house. He nodded and said, "If I were you, I would say the sa thing." Yes, Dawn Castle is very empty now. Outside, the army has been defeated by you, and we still have hundreds of surrendered troops in your hands. Inside, his father died in battle and his title was vacant. Not only are my brothers eyeing it, but even the other knights want to share the benefits. In this situation of internal and external troubles, Dawn Castle is simply unable to stop you from entering. "
"But I would like to remind Lord Allen that even so, Dawn Castle still has more than ten thousand people and more than a thousand slaves. If he was really forced to a dead end, even a dog would bite a person, let alone a human. Of course, this little bit of strength is not enough to stop Lord Allen, but at that ti, all you will get is a territory where the strength is hollowed out. If you support , then after I beco a baron, I will declare my allegiance to you. Then I can preserve the strength of the territory to the maximum extent possible. In comparison, I don't think Lord Allen will reject my proposal. "
Alan's eyes turned cold as he stabbed into Geordak's eyes like an arrow. The latter's smile stiffened. He wanted to avoid it, but he forced himself and Alan to look at each other. A mont later, Ellen's sharp gaze softened. "If your other brothers had the sa eloquence, I would probably be worried. Well, Mr. Geordak, let's continue talking about how to smoothly transition the power of Dawn Castle."
They talked for a long ti, and in the evening Geordak said goodbye and left. Leaving with him were Regis and the ten Mountain King Warriors. Jordak would create so opportunities for his brothers to assassinate him. However, this was a trap. At that ti, as long as the killer fell into his hands, his revenge against his brother would be legal in the na of righteousness.
With Regis' sharpest sword, unless the baron's sons hid in Daniel's Unicorn Castle, there was no one in the viscount's territory who could deal with him. After killing all the competitors, even if Daniel himself wasn't happy, he couldn't stop Jordak from becoming the new owner of Dawn Castle "legally".
To this end, Jordak already had a detailed and thorough plan, and the relevant personnel had already been arranged. Allen borrowed Regis and the Mountain King Warriors to help him accomplish the task. There were experts in town, and even if there were objections, Georg could erase them as quickly as possible.
The only problem was that Regis was unwilling to do this. Perhaps Belmond's arrival was more appropriate. However, that man had another mission, so he could only land on the youth's head.
The next day, a team arrived at Sunset City. They were escorted by Viscount Grayer, including food, equipnt, and a batch of slaves for Alan's use. This was a supply from Ou Ban, so Alan naturally went out of the city to welco him. '"Sir Allen, you've worked hard. Earl Oban asked to send you so supplies, so you'll have to let soone take it," he said arrogantly, not dismounting from his horse, as he sat arrogantly on it from afar.
Grar's attitude was very unpleasant, and William, who was following behind Alan, snorted with a sullen expression. Even the other soldiers had expressions of disgust on their faces. Allen's previous accomplishnts had already won the respect of the soldiers. Now that he saw soone being so disrespectful to Alan, he naturally wouldn't have a good expression on his face.
The atmosphere beca sowhat heavy.
Ellen didn't say anything and just looked at Gral calmly. His bright red pupils couldn't ripple, like the calm surface of a lake, reflecting Glar's silhouette. Alan didn't say anything, so naturally no one would accept this batch of supplies. As a result, beads of sweat began to form on Gral's forehead. At last his voice trembled, and he said, "Sir Allen, what do you an? Are you going to reject the count's kindness?"
"Don't use Earl Oban to suppress , this is a battlefield, anything can happen. I really admire you, Sir Glar. Those who dared to speak to in such a condescending manner had already disappeared from this world. As a fellow robe, I will respect you, but that is also on the premise of equality. "If you want to do that to , you're probably in the wrong place," Allen laughed. "I'll give you three seconds. If you don't get off the horse again, I'll have to invite you down. Of course, you won't like that thod. "
Hearing this, Glar's face turned pale. He looked at the knight behind him, but the knight had already dismounted. He was the captain of the cavalry. Since the captain had already dismounted, the cavalry naturally wouldn't stay on the horse. After a loud noise, all the cavalry dismounted, leaving only Galal sitting on the horse. It was more eye-catching.
Glar did not dare to be arrogant any longer. He hurriedly ca down and pointed at Allen. "I will tell Earl Oban the truth about this matter."
"Whatever you want." Ellen shrugged his shoulders and gestured. Wilick took the list of supplies from the cavalry captain and ordered the soldiers to take over the troop. 'Follow , Sir Grayle,' said Allen. 'You probably won't like this place, but since I've co, I'll have to do my best to be a landlord.'
After arranging a place for Grar to rest, Alan returned to the City Lord's Mansion. Ton, however, ca to Ellen with a list of supplies, "My lord, sothing's wrong."
"What's the matter?"
"I have counted the goods and the slaves and found that the quantity is at least half less than what is indicated in this list," Thorman said as he waved the list in his hand.
Alan raised his head in surprise, and then said, "Viscount, your appetite is not small. Even this little bit of supplies will have to be deducted from . I understand. I'll handle this matter. You go ahead."
In Allen's room, Grail was drinking a mouthful of red wine, and then he spat out, "What the hell is this, shoddy alcohol? This place is really full of hillbillies."
Beside him, the captain of the cavalry said, "Viscount, aren't we a little worried about seizing half of our supplies and slaves?"
"What kind of carelessness thod?"
"Your Excellency has never given such an order."
"Hey, Captain Wook, you didn't object before. What, you're going back on your word now? When you accepted my gift, you patted your chest and promised to support ." Glar sneered.
The Cavaliers captain smiled bitterly, thinking I didn't know who Sir Allen was before. Indeed, in the eyes of the Cavaliers Captain, the knights were nothing more than rich lords like Glar. At the very least, he was one of Ouban's subordinates. But when he saw Ellen just now, the Cavaliers Captain knew that he had guessed wrongly. Ellen was completely different from a knight like Grar. When he was silent just now, that terrible pressure almost made him pull out his sword.
The Cavalry Captain recalled what Allen had said before: How audacious of you to make an abacus on such a person.
Grar had seized the supplies, first to make ends et, and secondly, to make things difficult for Alan. If it were any other knights, the Cavaliers Captain would not frown. But now, he did regret it.
At this mont, Alan's voice suddenly sounded from outside the house, "Grail, get out of here. If you don't spit out the supplies that the count has given , I'll break your legs first, and then ask the count for an explanation."
Glar's face imdiately turned scarlet red. He had not expected Alan to co so quickly, and he shouted in the street, not giving him any face at all. "This country bumpkin! This barbarian!"
The cavalry captain sighed and knew that trouble was coming. He walked out the door, wanting soone to bring the cavalry over. For the sake of the friendship between the two families, Earl Orban lent the cavalry to protect Grar. Now, it was ti for them to fulfil their responsibilities.
However, when they walked out of the door, the captain discovered that the two cavalry that had been arranged here were nowhere to be seen!
