Chapter 481 Patience

Oban actually has less than a thousand soldiers in his own army, and this army has always been captured by Oban, and he refuses to move out easily. As for the other mercenary groups, they have been employed by Oban for many years, but they do not participate in the war between the lords. Therefore, since Allen invaded the jazz, Oban only mobilized the army to make a show, and restrained Daniel's army, but did not carry out real military operations.

But now that Allen's army just defeated Daniel's garrison in the blue field, another army of about 800 people appeared here in Bauhinia, and Oulu naturally suspected that it was Oban's army. But when the army approached, the flag fluttering in the wind was Alan's wolf pack flag. Oulu was surprised, wondering if Alan was shoddy, recruited some recruits or slaves from anywhere, and then formed an army to fight over, and wanted to do that trick?

"My lord, what should we do?" asked Ixiu, the commander of Oru.

"Hold on for now and see what's going on." Oulu had to wait for Daniel's reaction before deciding what to do next.

After the army came to the city, it was not in a hurry to attack. Instead, it set up a temporary camp and pretended that it would not leave easily. Leading this army is Roy, and there is also Willick. The army is the miscellaneous soldier that Alan had before, but after several battles, this miscellaneous soldier has some combat effectiveness, but it is still unsightly in Roy's eyes.

The strategy they decided before was to have Allen lead the main force to quickly defeat Daniel's garrison with an absolute victory. One is to put pressure on Bauhinia, and the other is to take advantage of this opportunity to eat up Daniel's elite force, and increase chips for Oban's subsequent negotiations. On the other hand, Roy led the miscellaneous soldier around the battlefield of the blue field, directly into the Bauhinia collar, and surrounded Oru and his city, causing them mental pressure.

While the army was camping, Roy also ordered people to continue to call out to persuade them to surrender, and put pressure on Oru and his men.

Oru carried out two tentative attacks. The first time was to send a cavalry squad of about 20 people to attack the camp, and the second time was to send 500 main infantry out of the city. In the first action, the cavalry team bumped into Willick, and Willick smashed the team on their backs with one double fist, their heads were bloodied, and their noses were ashes. And before the battle, according to what Allen said, the head reward was read out, so the miscellaneous soldiers rushed towards the opposing infantry regiment screaming like chicken blood.

After a brief but intense confrontation, both sides suffered casualties. Oulu took the initiative to retreat, and Roy did not intend to press too hard, so the two sides retreated to their respective positions with restraint. However, the regular army on the other side couldn't get any benefit from the opponent's miscellaneous corps, which made Oulu's expression extremely rare.

In the midst of this standoff, at nightfall, Oru found yet another army. The army came from the direction of the blue field, the army was well-organized, and the battle formation moved neatly. Slowly pushing forward like a black cloud, looking at the army, Oulu felt great pressure,

The air also seemed to be frozen. A sense of overwhelming oppression made Oulu look dignified, and also made the soldiers on the Bauhinia side subconsciously clenched their weapons, and everyone became nervous.

Eventually, Allen and his main force joined Roy. As a result, the army of more than a thousand people has far surpassed the Bauhinia collar in terms of quantity and quality. Oulu's heart sank after seeing the sturdy Mountain King warrior and the Inchfire soldiers holding fiery rifles. The aura exuded by the two soldiers of the special forces was already comparable to the elite troops of the empire. Although the quantity is limited, a small bauhinia collar is no match for them.

Looking at the flag of the pack of wolves fluttering in the opposite camp, Oulu felt quite uncomfortable. Before that, he joined forces with Raffles to force Storm City, but within half a year, the situation was reversed, and the city was surrounded by Allen.

Oru can only look to Daniel now, as if the Viscount does not send troops to support him, then he has only one way to surrender. This was something he didn't want to happen, but he couldn't do anything about it.

After the sun leaps into the western horizon, the lake is completely dimmed. As if gems were hidden in a box, thousands of lights disappeared and nothing remained. Daniel's mood at this moment was as deep as the night when the lake lost all light. When the battle report on the blue field reached his ears, the viscount wondered if he had heard it wrong. In his plan, even if Tucker is defeated, he can always delay it for three or two days by virtue of his strength.

If there are three or two days, he can carry out certain activities, such as attacking the first and second cities of the earldom, forcing Oban to order Allen to withdraw his troops. But Tucker lost too fast, so fast that Daniel didn't have time to react. What made him even more heartbroken was that a cavalry unit he had carefully cultivated was buried in the blue field. In the description of the battlefield, Daniel saw that the battlefield seemed to have been bombed by hundreds of magicians with fireballs, or was shot by an organized artillery array, turning this grassland into hell.

Daniel couldn't imagine how Allen would operate to have the destructive power described in the report. The kind of destructive power that can devour a cavalry team of five or six hundred men in a very short period of time, even with the wealth of the Andre family, may not be able to make up such a configuration.

A wine glass was smashed to pieces in Daniel's hands. The glass shards did not scratch the viscount's palm, but the bloody red wine flowed out from between his fingers, but it was no different from blood.

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in." Daniel's voice was like an old man's twilight years, completely lacking in his previous assertiveness.

The old butler pushed the door open and said in a deep voice, "Lord Daniel, Commander Barre sent someone to report. He just received a request from the Bauhinia leader for help. They have already been besieged. Commander Barre is asking for your instructions."

"Olu..." Daniel took out a silk handkerchief from his jacket pocket, wiped off the alcohol on his hands, and said slowly: "Tell Barre, just ignore it. The other party is besieging and not attacking, obviously waiting for us Send it to your door yourself. I have already lost a Tucker, and I don't want to lose him too."

"You mean, do you want to give up the Bauhinia flower?" After the butler finished speaking, he felt that he had made a mistake.

Fortunately, Daniel didn't care about it. He said lightly: "There are gains and losses in everything, whether it is that Alan or Orban. If they think they have won the Bauhinia, they think they have a sure chance of winning, then I will give it to you." They were a pleasant surprise. The current patience is for a more violent outburst in the near future. Just wait, my revenge will be as violent as a storm, I, Daniel, will never lose to a little baron!"

He waved his hand, motioning for the old butler to step down. After leaving Daniel alone in the study, he took out a post from the drawer. The post was plain black with a gold border around it, and there was a picture of a castle on the cover. The castle has no coloring, only strokes in dark lines, leaving silver patches in some places. It looked like a reflection of some kind of metal. It was an iron castle.

In the post, there is a short text. The general idea is that they are willing to join Daniel's command, as long as the viscount gives them room to develop. At the bottom is a signature, and the name Higgs is deeply engraved at the bottom of the post.

This is the wish from the border land of Black Iron Fort, and they had contacted Daniel a few months ago. As far as Daniel knew, this Higgs was not the lord of Black Iron Fortress, but just a knight leader. After seeing this post, Daniel ignored it at all. After all, a knight leader is not yet qualified to express his wishes to himself.

Until Allen launched an attack and his territory was damaged one after another, Daniel carefully considered whether to accept new vassals in order to use their power to drive out foreign enemies. At this time, he paid attention to this post again, and secretly sent someone to Black Iron Fort to get in touch with Higgs. Judging from the reports obtained, this Higgs is not a mediocre person. He and Sharon, the lord of the Black Iron Fort, seem to be at odds with each other. The Black Iron Fort is very powerful, and this knight captain controls at least four points.

The wish conveyed by the messenger of Hegestow is very simple, if Daniel helps him sit on the position of lord, he is willing to do anything for Daniel.

Just over a month ago, Higgs had successfully advanced to the nineteenth level, and his strength was quite outstanding. If it is accompanied by things like the Boiling Blood Magic Crystal, then Higgs' combat power can reach level 20 or even more in a short period of time. Such a knight leader can indeed help Daniel do a lot.

Daniel let out a sigh of relief, took out a piece of letter paper from the drawer, dipped the ink with a quill pen, and wrote a short letter under the letter paper. The content of the letter means that Higgs' request can be accepted, but before that, Higgs needs to cut off a strong enemy for himself to show his sincerity.

After writing the letter, he put it in a delicate envelope and dripped red wax on the seal. Finally, take out the seal with the unicorn pattern and reprint it on the clay. Daniel rang the silver bell, and the butler came in a moment later. Daniel handed the letter to him and said, "Go and get it to Luo Mingwei, and tell him that this is a letter addressed to Black Iron Castle. He knows who to hand it to."

"Yes, my lord, I will do it now."

After the old butler left, Daniel looked out the window at the dark lake, and the Viscount sighed. If it weren't for the lack of generals under his command, how could he make a deal with a knight leader from a border land.

Allen, it was Allen who had to condescend himself to accept Higgs. This shame will always be repaid with your blood! Daniel unconsciously crushed the quill in his hand.

As the sun rose, Oru's mood hit rock bottom. A day has passed by Daniel's side, but no news has come back. From the looks of it, the Viscount is planning to give up the Bauhinia flower. After Oru had breakfast, someone came to report that Allen asked to meet Oru in the city.

Oulu sighed, nodded and said to go.

Half an hour later, he saw Alan outside the city. Alan stood alone outside the city without any entourage, seeing Oulu's heart fluttering, and finally gritted his teeth and pressed his mind to capture Alan. Oulu himself knew that this was the last time he felt rebellious against Allen.

Seeing Auru's eyes change rapidly, and finally became calm and clear, he began to smile and said: "Sir Auru made the most correct choice, otherwise, even if you make a shot with all your strength. In addition to those people behind you, Even if you want to keep me, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it."

Oulu smiled bitterly: "Sir Allen came today, didn't he just want to test my reaction?"

"Of course not, I want to make another suggestion to you." Allen said indifferently.

Oulu nodded and said, "I know what you want to say. If you don't mind, please give me some time. I need to hear the opinions of the people below."

"No problem, but I can only give you one day." Allen paused, and then said: "Sir Oru, I can only accept your surrender. If you want, even if there are dissenting voices below, I will will erase it for you."

This is undoubtedly a promise, that is to say, as long as Oulu is willing to surrender to Allen. No matter whether anyone objects to him surrendering the city, Allen will accept him and erase the opposing voices. In this way, Oru can still retain his title and power. Oulu couldn't tell, thanked him with a wry smile, and went back to the city.

To Allen's surprise, Oru didn't delay for long, and at about 1:00 in the afternoon, the city gate opened wide. Accompanied by Robin, Shaw and other important officials, Oulu begged to see Alan, and presented Alan with a rapier with a scabbard engraved with a Bauhinia pattern. This is a symbol of the power of the Bauhinia flower, and handing it over to Allen means that the Bauhinia leader is willing to surrender. Allen readily took it, and returned it to Oru, and the whole ceremony was considered complete.

Next, Allen asked the army to stay outside, and he took Roy, Regis and others into the city with Aoao, and met with other officials. At this point, the passage to the hinterland of the Viscounty was completely opened by Allen. Starting from Sunset City, there will be no obstacles in the passage to Bauhinia.

The news of Bauhinia's surrender quickly spread to the ears of the remaining two knights, but the strength of these two knights was even worse than that of Sunset City, so Daniel naturally did not have expectations for them. The two lords met frequently in private, but they couldn't come up with an idea. They went to see Daniel hand in hand again, but were rejected. Daniel casually found an excuse not to see them, which made the two jazz feel even more hopeless.

Fortunately, Allen was not interested in them, so they were happy to live day by day, waiting for the development of the situation.

After Alan occupied the Bauhinia collar, he did not proceed to the next step. He left the main force behind, and the motley army was sent back to Dawn Castle and handed over to Roy to take care of it. Roy also sat in Dawn Castle as a matter of course. With him as a strong man guarding it, even if Daniel wanted to make a surprise attack, it would be difficult to regain the lost ground.

According to the plan, Dawn Castle and Bauhinia, which have development potential, have been acquired by Allen. Now that the territory has been established, the next step is to stabilize its position and influence. As for how to deal with Daniel, Allen directly threw this question to Oban, and he did not go overboard and make any decisions for Oban.
