Chapter 461: Moving to the Hungry Wolf Territory

"Damn it, where did these guys go?" Wu Ke wanted to yell, but suddenly his heart moved, and he looked around the corridor.

There stood a tall young man.

Willick said in a deep voice, "Mr. Captain, please come with me."

"Where are my people?" Wu Ke's face darkened, and at the same time he touched the long sword on his waist.

"They're fine, it's just a temporary restriction of their movement."

"In other words, you also want to restrict my activities. Do you know what this means? We are the direct knights of Earl Aubain!"

"Because of this, I ask you to go away for a while. Otherwise, it will not be so cheap." Willick raised his head: "Come with me, Mr. Captain, we don't want unnecessary conflicts."

Wu Ke's hand on the sword kept repeating the movement of clenching and loosening. After doing this several times, he sighed secretly, let go of his hand completely, and walked towards Willick silently.

In the room, Graal felt that the knight captain had been away for too long. There were bursts of laughter from outside, and these laughter slapped his face like a slap, making his face feel hot. Graal couldn't bear it any longer, pushed the door and walked out. There was no one in the corridor outside, the Viscount cursed secretly, and swaggered out of the residence.

A line of soldiers lined up outside the street, leaving an open space. Alan and Tomen stood in front, and Tomen looked serious, while Alan smiled half-smile, making Graal a little guilty. The Viscount took a breath and shouted: "Baron Allen, what do you mean! Are you insulting a Viscount? I want to protest to the Earl, you must pay the price for your actions!"

After yelling, Graal felt that he had a lot of confidence. Yes, he was a viscount, a noble viscount. In the sequence of titles, Allen can only look up to his brilliance, when can he climb up to show off his might?

Allen shook his head and laughed: "Glar, you haven't figured out the situation. Where is this? Let me tell you, this is not your Viscounty, and your will and voice cannot pass here. This is my city, yes The front line of the war zone. I have the final say here, so, either you spit out the things you have seized. Or, let me break my legs and throw them out!"

"Dare you?" Graal screamed.

Allen made a gesture, and the two soldiers immediately stepped out, looking at Graal coldly.

Graal was taken aback, not wanting Allen to actually act. At this time, he didn't care much, and quickly revealed his trump card. Graal took out a piece of paper from his arms,

He raised his voice and said, "Who said that Sunset City is your city? Now, I will take over this city! Here is the authorization document from Earl Auban. Take a good look for yourself, Lord Baron!"

Allen frowned, and took the document from Graal. Spreading it out, it turned out to be a letter of authorization from Ark Port, which clearly stated that the management of Sunset City was transferred to Graal. The place where the signature was signed was Oban's autograph and seal, and Langlar didn't have the guts to forge it. In addition, that person was directly under Oban's cavalry team, so it was obvious that this document was genuine.

Tommen glanced at it, and his breathing became short of breath. What he wanted to say, Allen raised his hand, signaling him not to speak for now.

Looking at Graal again, the Viscount became proud: "Well, I didn't lie to you. This is the Earl's handwritten document, Sir Allen, you don't want to disobey orders, do you?"

Alan Jue said: "This is different from the agreement between me and the earl. We have already agreed that the territory captured by me will be managed by me."

"That's true, but the Earl thinks that you have unlimited potential. A mere Sunset City will not be your end, and it is foreseeable that you will have more territories. Your energy is limited, and you should not be able to take care of so many territories, so I will take care of Sunset City for you. Anyway, it is the earl's territory, so you won't have any loss."

"These are the count's words?"

"Almost." Graal said again: "As long as you sign on it, the supplies temporarily withheld by me will naturally be sent to you. The Earl still has high hopes for you."

His smug look and his obvious way of derailing Allen's power made the soldiers around him look angry. But Allen didn't order, and they didn't dare to act without authorization, they could only stare at Graal with fierce eyes.

Allen nodded and said, "I'm going to read this document carefully, so I'll give you an answer tomorrow at the latest."

With a wave of his hand, Allen left with Tormen and the soldiers. After they left, Zok and the two cavalrymen regained their freedom and returned to Graal's side. Naturally, they were condemned.

It's night, in the meeting room of the City Lord's Mansion. Allen handed the authorization document to Tomen and Willick for review. After reading it, Tomen chose to remain silent, while Willick slammed his fist on the table angrily: "Master, this must be the work of that Graal. Let I'll break his dog leg and throw it outside to feed the wolves!"

Allen shook his head and said, "The document is real, as are the signatures and seals. In other words, all of this is Count Aubain's decision."

Tommen said in a deep voice: "Count Aubain's trust in you seems to be reserved."

"After all, I'm not his original team." Allen said calmly.

Tomen looked at him and said, "Then what are you going to do?"

"If you don't sign it, you're betraying the Earl. The army in the Emerald Mountains should go to Sunset City. If you sign it, the city will be handed over, and no one will be reconciled to it." Allen folded his arms and lowered his head. thinking. After a while, a decision seemed to be made: "It seems that this name still needs to be signed."

Willick's chest rose and fell: "Is it just to give up Sunset City to that villain?"

Tom's eyes darkened.

"Of course we can't let it out so easily." Allen smiled slightly, looked at Tommen and said, "Baron Tormen, do you trust me?"

Tuomen's eyes moved slightly, and he raised his head and said, "Sir, if you have something to say, just speak it out."

"I plan to leave Sunset City to Graal, but I will take away the army, supplies, and equipment. In short, I want to leave a mess to Graal. By doing so, I will drain the power of Sunset City. And to concentrate all my strength, I will take the Hungry Wolf Territory first, and then the Dawn Castle. After these two territories fall into my pocket, it is equivalent to Daniel's small half of the territory in my pocket. At that time, I will take the opportunity to put pressure on the Earl , let him hand over Sunset City to me again. But before that, Sir Tormen can only be wronged."

Tormen nodded heavily: "This is indeed a solution. I was thinking before that if my lord completely abandons this city, then I simply contacted Viscount Daniel again. Although I will be punished heavily for this, it is better than watching that kind of small The face of a person. Since your lord has this plan, let me deal with him for a while."

From being defeated in a duel, to defeating the coalition forces, and now confiding in his heart. It wasn't until this moment that Alan used his series of actions to truly win Tormen's loyalty.

So after a secret discussion, Tomen left and went to make preparations overnight. There are many things to do, from the preparation of materials to the mobilization of troops, it will take time, and the action should not be too big. Everyone and things had to be sent out of the city in batches, so as not to arouse Graal's vigilance. It was discovered by him afterwards, and it can be deduced that this is the case in Sunshine City. Graal has no evidence, and he has nothing to do with Allen and Tormen. If discovered during this period, he can make a big fuss. At least, a charge of embezzlement of public property cannot be escaped.

Over the next few days, Graal noticed a drastic change in Allen's attitude. Treating him with delicious food and drink every day satisfies Graal's vanity, thinking that Baron Allen has finally enlightened. It's just that Allen was slow to sign the authorization letter, and every time he asked about it, he always said "no rush". After four or five days like this, Graal became anxious. On this day, he asked Zucker to bring ten knights and came to the Lord's Mansion with great fanfare, trying to force Allen to sign the authorization letter.

Not wanting to just come to the study, Allen rushed to say: "Viscount Graal, you came just in time. I have signed this document, please have a look."

Such a big contrast made Graal unable to react for a while. He froze for a while before he realized how to accept the paperwork. Sure enough, there was Alan's signature and seal on it, and a big stone was finally put down. Graal tried to force a smile on his face and said: "So, when will Sir Allen plan to set off and continue to seize more territory for the Earl?"

"Leave immediately."

"Immediately?" Graal thought he had misheard, when did that tough kid become so easy to talk.

Patting Graal on the shoulder, Allen said: "Then Sunset City will be handed over to you. I believe that under the management of Lord Viscount, this city will be more prosperous."

"Of course...Of course."

By the time Graal came back to his senses, Allen had already left the study. After a while, he was seen leaving the city with an army. Judging from the lineup of the army, there were only about three hundred people. Seeing them leave, Graal was relieved, and even the captain Wu Ke behind him relaxed a lot. At least this time, the power transfer was smooth and the worst ending was avoided.

But Graal was not happy for a long time. The next day, when he ordered someone to open the material warehouse and saw the few boxes, the Viscount's expression changed: "What's going on? Why is there only such a little thing? ?”

Tormen said with a bitter face beside him: "Master Viscount, in order to repel the enemy not long ago, Lord Alan took out most of the supplies to motivate the soldiers. If it weren't for this, the battle would not be so smooth. But don't worry, With the output efficiency of our city, within three years, you will be able to see a warehouse full of things."

"Three years?" Graal almost fainted. This time, he mobilized all the jazz to jointly propose to Orban that he, the viscount, manage Sunset City instead of Allen. Firstly, it was to prevent Alan's power from expanding too quickly, which was also in the hands of Zhong Ouban, so that Graal successfully obtained the authorization document; secondly, Graal also wanted to take this opportunity to receive the wealth of Sunset City.

But now, even the most important material warehouse has been evacuated. As you can imagine, the wealth and power of the city has also been emptied. Graal is not stupid. Combined with Alan's attitude and actions a few days ago, he roughly guessed that it was all Alan's fault. But if you know it, you know that he has no real evidence, but he can't accuse Alan. What's more, Tomen also said that they invested a lot of materials for mobilization before the war. No one has counted the material reserves before the war, or estimated the wealth of Sunset City. Now after the war, who knows how much they have invested, even if it goes to Oban, at most Allen will be accused of investing too much.

For a knight who controls the army and possesses powerful force, this is simply a trivial charge.

Graal was itchy with anger. In his heart, Allen had risen from a barbarian to a shameless thief. Allen not only stole his "wealth", but also left him a mess. At least until the output of Sunset City fills the warehouse, Graal still has to fulfill the responsibility of a manager, which is different from what he imagined when he came here!

An army of 800 people was advancing in the mountains and forests, and Allen almost took away all the combat power in Sunset City. Including soldiers and slaves, as long as they have a little combat effectiveness, he took away all of them. In addition, there are a lot of food and equipment and other materials. These supplies are enough to feed an army of more than a thousand people for more than a month.

The team moved towards the direction of the hungry wolf leader. Dulufu was an out-and-out strongman. But he is not a good lord, let alone a suitable manager. His domain was the smallest of all Daniel's vassals, and it was also the poorest. Even Sunset City couldn't compare. Sir Hungry Wolf's territory didn't have any strategic resources, and there weren't many wild animals in that thin land, so the citizens could only plant some crops to barely survive the day.

But Truff also implemented a series of exorbitant taxes and tried every means to extract wealth from the people. Sometimes even Daniel didn't look down on him. So when the army entered the hungry wolf territory, Allen had already seen two deserted villages. That's because the people in the territory couldn't stand Dulufu's high-handed rule and escaped from the territory. Today, in this poor jazz territory, there are only two larger villages, and the city where the jazz is located, Fenrir.

In the past two days, the guards of Fenrir City have noticed that the leaders have left their villages and fled to the city. From people's mouths, Fenrir City learned that an army had entered this territory. They wiped out all the villages that were still inhabited, forcing the people to flee to the city of Fenrir to seek asylum. Although Fenrir City is the city where the Baron lives, there are dilapidated houses, dirty canals, and damaged statues that have not been repaired everywhere. Only the city lord's mansion looks better. Truff still saves his face, at least he repairs the place he lives in to be more beautiful, so that he can be worthy of his status as a knight. r1058
