Chapter 62 Before the Storm
Oper began to act. Everything was very beautiful in his imagination. However, he did not know that such an approach was simply stupid. The Habsburg Chamber of Commerce could indeed hire a great knight for protection, but that was only protection and only hiring. This was not a great knight that they owned.
There was a big difference in essence.
Once the Lawrence territory lost the great knight, the consequences were almost doomed.
This was different from the pioneer lord.
As long as the pioneer lord did not have a lot of wealth and resources, there would be no big problems. However, the baronial territory had a lot of territory and resources. Without the great knight and a lot of knight power, these resources and territories could not be defended even with the hired great knight.
Of course, Oper did not know these for the time being.
He was completely immersed in the excitement of taking over the territory.
This was the territory.
It belonged to him.
He had almost given up hope.
But he did not expect that he would be favored by the goddess of life at this time.
An unexpected pioneering war, his father and elder brother could not return.
And he had a chance.
Facing this opportunity, he could hardly hold back his excitement, and even wanted to send some gold coins to the Eagle Territory Lord.
Of course, this was just an idea.
On the surface, he pretended to be angry and sad.
He quickly began to take control of the entire Lawrence territory.
Fortunately, his father took away a large number of knights, so it was not difficult for him to take control.
After taking control of the territory, he immediately took several knights and a large amount of gold coins to head towards Loren City.
Although he was a little stupid, he also knew that the territory was extremely weak now. Once the news leaked, the entire territory would inevitably be destroyed.
After taking control of the territory, he naturally needed to gain a lot of power in a short period of time.
As for his method, as he said before, he went to Lawrence to hire at the Habsburg Chamber of Commerce.
Three days later.
His figure quickly arrived in Loren City.
Without any hesitation, Opper spent two thousand gold coins to hire a great knight and ten formal knights from the Habsburg Chamber of Commerce.
Seven days later, Opper returned to the territory with his men.
With a great knight and ten official knights, Opper was undoubtedly confident.
He directly began to notify the other two baron lords in the name of his father Pape Lawrence.
At the same time, a knight was also sent to the Eagle Territory.
As for the purpose, of course it was not to give ransom.
But to leak information.
Two days later.
Thor met the knight sent by the idiot in the Eagle Territory.
"It seems that your second son is not as smart as you!"
"Baron Pape!"
Thor chuckled and handed the letter to Baron Pape next to him.
At this moment, Baron Pape's body has recovered, but his life force has been suppressed.
This is what Thor asked Neil Morton to do.
Neil Morton did not refuse this kind of trivial matter.
So at this moment, facing the knight messenger sent by Opper, Thor also brought this one over directly.
Facing Thor's words, Pape Lawrence's heart couldn't help but tremble. He was very clear about what his second son was like, so he quickly took the letter.
After reading the contents of the letter.
"Bang!"
"Asshole!"
"Simply stupid."
Even Baron Pape's character couldn't help but show a hint of anger at this moment.
Then it turned into a sad look.
The anger was that he didn't expect it.
He didn't expect that his little son would do this.
This was simply to let him and his eldest son die.
Damn it, Lawrence, that was the future of their family, and there was even hope that he would break through to the existence of the Earth Knight in the future.
The sadness was that his second son could be so stupid.
Without him, how could the territory of Lawrence be defended?
In the Northern Province, all lords are hungry wolves.
Without the power to protect the territory, they are just a group of lambs.
If he were smart, he probably wouldn't do this. He would have to redeem him anyway. Only in this way could the territory be truly preserved.
"Sir Thor, this is a misunderstanding. That guy is simply stupid. This does not represent the decision of our Lawrence territory. If you are willing, you can release Lawrence first. I believe that Lawrence will give you a satisfactory compensation after he returns."
Anger and sadness are spreading.
But soon Baron Pape quickly suppressed it. He was not concerned about this at the moment.
And he needs to consider that Thor will not chop them all directly in anger. At that time, everything will be over.
"Baron Pape, you know, this is impossible!"
"But I won't do anything to you for a fool. During this period of time, Baron Pape should live well in the Eagle Territory."
Thor chuckled and shook his head.
Letting Lawrence go is a joke. He is not a fool.
As for killing Baron Pape for this reason, he and Lawrence did not have that idea.
First, there is no need for that.
Second, these two people will be more useful if they stay.
Listening to Thor's words, Pape looked bitter.
He could already foresee what his territory would look like next, and he was powerless to do anything about it.
Pape looked at Thor deeply, and then stopped talking.
Thor fell into deep thought.
The situation was the same as the scene in the daily intelligence.
That Opal Lawrence really wanted to kill his father and elder brother.
And in this way, the daily intelligence would likely unite with other pioneering lords and nobles to attack his territory.
Then the storm of war has actually arrived.
Next, it will be the most difficult moment for the entire Eagle Territory.
He needs to face the combined forces of other noble lords.
Even if the strength is much worse than that of Lawrence's territory, this strength cannot be underestimated when combined.
Of course, once it is passed.
Even if the coalition of noble lords can be defeated this time, the harvest will be unprecedentedly huge.
He will become the true uncrowned king of the Maine Valley.
No one will dare to challenge his authority anymore.
If he can manage it well, his sphere of influence can even spread to the entire Maine Valley.
The construction of the entire territory will directly reach a new level.
His eyes flickered, and his thoughts kept flowing.
He was thinking about what to do next.
And time passed quietly in this situation.
The knights that Opper sent to the other two noble lords in the name of his father, Baron Pape Lawrence, also arrived one after another.
Just receiving this letter, the other two noble lords were a little stunned.
