Chapter 246 The Marquis’ Attitude

Lulans was already preparing to go to bed, but he didn't expect that such a major thing would happen in the middle of the night.

He was leaning on the bedside, holding the letter for help sent from Corian in his hand, with an expression as usual as usual.

The letter must be authentic. The knight leader writes several letters every year. Rulans has long known the other party's handwriting, and the marks on the letter bird also prove that it is impossible to forge.

"Um."

He sighed and looked at Wiggins sitting on the chair nearby, "What are your plans?"

Wiggins said what he just thought.

"I am going to issue a war order to other nobles, gather people to support Boulder City, and take back Chishan Town."

Wiggins is ambitious: "If there is a chance, we can even retake Cassirer Town and even push further south!"

"Oh yes, Father."

He glanced at Luo Ning and said, "I can't go to the front line for this campaign, so I'm going to let Luo Ning represent our Wushan family as the commander of this operation."

Rulans frowned slightly when he heard this sentence, and then looked at Toru and Kabir in the room.

"What do you two think?"

The two looked at each other and Kabir spoke first.

"My lord, the Marquis, it's a little strange that the Polite Thieves suddenly attacked and defeated the Fifth Knights. I suggest you write a letter immediately and ask Corian to explain the situation of the battle clearly, so that we can take appropriate countermeasures."

He paused and continued: "But no matter what, Wushan Leader will definitely teach the enemy a profound lesson this time!"

Toru nodded in agreement: "Sir, my opinion is the same as Kabir's. If the Bolant Thieves Group is not taught a lesson, they will continue to expand northward."

Lulans nodded slightly.

This war can only be avoided unless Wushanbao takes the initiative to sign an armistice agreement with the Polish bandits and abandons Chishan Town.

But if we really do this, what will the lords below think of Wushan Castle?

They didn't even fight, they directly sued for peace, and the people they sued for peace with were low-class people like the band of thieves. That was too undignified.

This war is inevitable.

"Write a letter to Corian now and ask him to explain clearly the status of the battle and whether the other party has the intention to continue to invade Boulder City."

Rulans gave the order: "For the rest, just follow Wiggins' wishes."

He said, waving his hand to signal everyone to leave, "Luo Ning, you stay."

Wiggins, Kabir and others got up and left the bedroom. Before leaving, they all looked at Ronin silently, wondering what the Marquis would talk to him.

After leaving the bedroom, Wiggins began to make arrangements.

He first asked Liaison Officer Carolina to write a letter and send it to Boulder City overnight by letter bird, asking about the specific situation there.

On the other side, Tolu was asked to mobilize some knight squads from the First Knight Order to prepare to support Corian in advance, in case half of the knight group over there could not withstand the pressure and suffered an accident.

In addition, since the attack has been decided, the supplies previously provided to support Chishan Town are definitely not enough. The administrative officer and financial officer must coordinate manpower to prepare supplies as soon as possible.

Wiggins himself discussed the contents of the war order with Kabir.

In the past few years, in the face of the war launched by the Black Gold Brotherhood and the Polish Thieves, although Wiggins was not good at battlefield command, he still did a remarkable job in early mobilization.

Looking at the backs of everyone leaving in a hurry, Brayton clenched his fists. Unfortunately, he was too weak, otherwise he would have been able to go to the battlefield.

"Mother, will brother Luo Ning agree to go to the battlefield?"

Diane looked back at Rulans' house, "Maybe?"

She only knew that Lulans valued Luo Ning, and if he took the latter's safety into consideration, he would not necessarily agree to let Luo Ning go to the battlefield.

Lu Lansi and Luo Ning were the only two people left in the bedroom.

"Wiggins asked you to serve as the commander of this war on behalf of the Oshan family. What did you think?"

Luo Ning has been thinking about this issue.

The nobles of all sizes in the Wushan Territory would basically respond to the call for war issued by Wiggins without any reasonable reason. Even if they did not send knights and soldiers, they would still provide money, food and other supplies.

Luo Ning, as the Viscount of Wubei Territory, is also on this list.

"Although the Wubei Territory is in a state of complete waste, as a member of the Wushan family, I will still try my best to contribute."

Luo Ning said: "But the commander's job needs to be seriously considered. After all, I have never been on the battlefield and lack experience. If I command blindly, I am afraid it will bring disaster to the team."

Rulans nodded.

Although there is no direct financial reward for being a commander of the coalition forces, there are still many benefits.

Not to mention anything else, as long as the battle you command is successful, you will gain a lot of fame.

The larger the battle, the higher the reputation.

Fame is a good thing, especially for an emerging lord like Luo Ning whose territory is still in its infancy. Being famous can attract more talents and increase cohesion.

"I'm glad you recognize your shortcomings and don't get carried away by the desire for power."

The Marquis recalled that when Wiggins was asked to be the commander of the battle to wipe out the resistance forces in the territory, Wiggins, who was also inexperienced, was not polite.

So much so that there were many twists and turns in that battle, which gave the group of people a chance to escape into the northern woodland, and then there was the savage tribe behind them.

"Actually, I don't want you to participate in this battle. In other words, even if you do, you can just serve as a material transportation officer in the rear."

Maybe it was because he was old, or maybe he subconsciously connected Luo Ning with his eldest son.

Grimes, whom he had high hopes for, died on the battlefield, and he didn't want Ronin to make the same mistake again.

Rulans said: "The battlefield is dangerous, and the composition of the Polante Thieves Group is relatively complex, so we must deal with it more carefully."

Luo Ning is very concerned about the words "complex ingredients".

In fact, he had doubts about the so-called thieves group and brotherhood very early. Why did the forces that were wiped out by the Wushan Territory develop so fast?

"Grandpa, are you saying that there is someone behind the Bolt Thieves Group?"

Luo Ning simply asked his doubts: "Is he the Earl of Moonlight Valley?"

Lulans was a little surprised. He didn't expect Luo Ning to think of this, and he couldn't help but feel even more pleased.

"You are much more perceptive than your father. He has fought several times with the Boland Thieves, and he didn't expect this at all."

He changed the topic: "But I am just guessing. There is no conclusive evidence to prove this matter yet."

This kind of thing must be done secretly.

Openly supporting a group of thieves to invade the territory of other nobles is not allowed by the laws of the kingdom. Once caught by Wushan Castle and brought to the royal capital, Jesus must be prepared to be questioned even if he is His Majesty's younger brother. Preparation for liability and sanctions.

"Then the Black Gold Brotherhood is supported by Vera's work?"

Lulans was silent for a while, and then slowly said, "Maybe."

From this point of view, Rulans still knows the details of these two forces, but he is too late and has no energy to deal with this matter.

Although the two borders are in a state of turmoil, most of the Wushan Territory is peaceful, which is acceptable to Rulans.

Just use the southeast and southwest directions as a testing ground and play with them.

I just don’t know, is this powerful attack by the Poland Thief Group just to occupy Chishan Town, or does it have a bigger plot?

Lulans put away his thoughts, "If you don't want to go to the battlefield, I will arrange for you to be in charge of logistics. If you want to go to the front line to bathe in the baptism of war, then you, representing the Wushan family, will naturally be the commander, but I will arrange for someone to come from I’ll help you.”

"There is still some time between mobilization and departure. You should go back and think about it carefully."

Although a qualified heir to a family needs to be baptized by war, Rulans is in no hurry.

For him, Chishan Town can be lost, and even the Boulder Territory can be abandoned, as long as most of the Wushan Territory is peaceful.

Now both Luo Ning and Brayton have extraordinary qualifications, especially Luo Ning, who is both thoughtful and powerful.

As long as the Wushan family is given some time, these lost territories will eventually be regained after they grow up.

However, Lulans still left the final choice in all of this to Luo Ning, letting the other party choose the path he wanted to take.

"I will seriously consider it."

Ronin said, stood up and left the bedroom. (End of chapter)
