Chapter 481: Targeting from Garrett

Thirty-four years ago, the Kingdom of Alduin and the Kingdom of Tricia claimed legitimacy and tried to destroy each other. The two sides launched a war in the Mist City that lasted for several years.

The process of the battle was very tortuous, and the final result was that the Kingdom of Alduin lost the Mist City and retreated hundreds of miles north to establish its current defense line.

This line of defense starts from the misty mountains that traverse the north and south on the west side, and stretches for hundreds of miles to the east.

Over the years, nobles have sent knight squads or knights to the defense line to perform defensive tasks. Among them, the big nobles have their designated areas of responsibility.

For example, Count Ibn Torrance's Twin Peaks Canyon, Duke Andrea's Scarlet Front, Moonlight Valley's West Wind Hills, etc.

But there are also special ones, such as Wushanbao.

In the battle more than thirty years ago, the Oshan family suffered heavy losses. At that time, His Majesty Alduin IV Klinsmann did not know whether he was sympathetic to the Oshan family or felt guilty, so he did not assign responsibility to Rulans. area, but allows Wushanbao to transport a certain amount of food and materials to the front line every year to replace military operations.

The Red Pine Fort, located in a red pine forest, is not only the middle zone of the defense line, but also the command post of the entire defense line.

This place is garrisoned by the royal family's knights all year round. Since Crown Prince Garrett came to the front line, Earl Ibn has concentrated on the defense of the Twin Peaks Canyon, and Red Pine Castle was handed over to Garrett.

Nominally, Garrett is already the commander of the entire defense line.

At this time, in Red Pine Castle, Garrett was listening to his intelligence officer Matt Romero's intelligence about the mobilization of the noble army.

"In other words, Luo Ning's knights will be able to reach West Wind Hill in ten days at the latest?"

Garrett was a little surprised. According to his expectations, Ronin would probably not come until the end of this year, but he didn't expect that he would come in August.

"How many people came?"

Matt replied: "There is no detailed data, but judging from the intelligence coming from the nobles passing by, there should be two knights in Luo Ning's army."

"Two Knights?"

Garrett frowned, then shook his head disdainfully.

"I admit that Luo Ning's personal strength is good, but the two knights he improvised are probably just filling up. In terms of combat effectiveness..."

His words revealed dissatisfaction and contempt, as if he was completely unconvinced by Luo Ning's military ability.

"Your Highness, although the combat power of his team is not very good, Luo Ning himself and his dragon are very terrifying. If there really is a fight, Viscount Placido, the enemy of West Wind Hill, may not be able to cope with it."

At the mention of the dragon, Garret's expression became serious.

Ever since he last saw Carlos in the royal capital, this behemoth had left an indelible image in his heart, so much so that in the past six months, he often dreamed of Ronin's dragon breathing fire and burning him.

It's a nightmare.

"Plácido is just a meteor knight. Although he has been on the battlefield for a long time and has a magician to help him, he still can't stand up to Ronin and his dragon."

Garrett stood up slowly, walked around the room, and finally stopped at the window, looking into the distance.

Once the battle begins, if nothing else goes wrong, West Wind Hill should win.

Thinking of this, Garrett felt a little unhappy. He always felt that Ronin's journey was too smooth.

If this continues, it will probably take a few wars. In order to consolidate the relationship between Alduin and Oshan, his father will promote Ronin to Duke.

He tapped on the window sill, thinking about how to suppress Luo Ning's development.

With Luo Ning's strength, any action against him would definitely be ineffective. Even if he really wanted to assassinate him, he would not be able to find a suitable killer.

Therefore, if you want to suppress Luo Ning's development, you can only consider it from the perspective of weakening his subordinates.

It was difficult to do things in the territory, but now on the battlefield, there are suitable conditions and environment.

Garret turned around and waved for Matt to come over. He whispered: "Didn't you place manpower at Placido? Try to find a way to reveal Ronin's information to him and let him know his opponent." The details.”

Matt was stunned for a moment, "Your Highness, is this...appropriate?"

Garrett snorted coldly, "Matt, pay attention to your attitude and never question my decision!"

Matt immediately lowered his head, caressed his chest and whispered: "It's my fault, I shouldn't question your decision!"

Garrett patted the other party's shoulder and said slowly: "A person who is too powerful is dangerous to the kingdom. You should be able to understand this."

Matt raised his head and nodded slowly, as if he realized the key.

Garrett waved his hand, "Go ahead."

"Oh, by the way, when Luo Ning arrives at West Wind Hill, let him come to Red Pine Castle to meet me."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

After watching Matt leave, Garrett suddenly felt a little relaxed.

He didn't know if Placido had any information about Luo Ning, but with advance notice, the other party should be prepared.

Apart from anything else, there will always be more mana cannons and mana arrows, right?

Even if they can't deal with Luo Ning and his dragon, they can at least eliminate a group of knights, leaving Luo Ning to spend a lot of money to regroup.

He suddenly understood something his father said -

A Knight of the Sun may be able to conquer a territory by force, but to rule it well, he needs a group of qualified subordinates.

If Luo Ning's subordinates are dispersed and weakened, it will also be of great help to the stability of the royal family's power.

"Father still doesn't believe me enough!"

Garett's tone was somewhat complaining.

A while ago, the Kingdom of Tricia was in civil strife. He had requested to take the initiative to attack many times, but was suppressed by Bruno. As a result, the enemy country seemed to have stabilized and missed the opportunity to attack.

"This time Ronin has arrived at the front line. I should be able to ask for permission to go to the front again. There should be no problem, right?"

He quickly returned to his chair and sat down. He took out a pen and paper and began to write a new letter of request for battle. He once again wrote in detail the favorable conditions and emphasized Ronin's role. He hoped to take the initiative to cancel the peace agreement signed with the Kingdom of Tricia and advance in an all-round way.

Garrett folded and sealed the written letter and held it in his hand with a look of contemplation.

"Father, if you agree this time, it will be just as I guessed. You have not taken action and are waiting for Ronin."

He put the letter on the table and began to feel unhappy again.

He had always been trusted and relied on, but he didn't expect that an outsider would steal the limelight.

"Mika." He called out.

The herald pushed the door open and entered, "Your Highness, what do you want?"

"Take this letter to the capital and give it to my father."

Garrett earnestly instructed: "Return as quickly as possible. I hope you can bring me satisfactory news this time."

Mika has delivered letters many times before, and he roughly guessed the content of the letter without reading it.

He quickly put the letter in his arms, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will be back in five days at the latest. I hope Your Majesty can respond to your determination to strengthen the kingdom this time!" (End of this chapter)
