All Hands Prepare for Battle

The land shrouded in eternal night was divided and given to different 'old kings' according to their different ranks.

The land title deed serves as a symbolic proof of land ownership.

Of course, a "land deed" is not just a certificate symbolizing the right to use land; it also directly indicates that the area is under the Protection of the Old Kings ".

It is also a symbol of status; the owner or representative of the land deed will be called the "Lord".

It was precisely because of this that Han Dong, due to his status as a lord, received a warm invitation from Scarlet Count.

The "Red Banquet" is a banquet hosted by the Blood God, with the fundamental purpose of recruiting blood-compatible individuals from all over the world to join the Blood God's family and become one of the lords.

For this Red Banquet, Count Bach Dahlen, the Mad Laughter Count, was merely appointed as the banquet's organizer, tasked with inviting as many people as possible from all sides to Red Banquet.

Han Dong's participation as a unique lord would result in the Blood God giving the Earl an additional commission.

The more people invited, the more rewards the Earl will receive from the Blood God.

This is one of the reasons why Han Dong was certain that there was absolutely no danger during his stay at the Scarlet Villa... and he also received special hospitality from the Earl.

However...

In any case, Han Dong's goal was clear from the beginning.

If Blood Knight Lucius can win first place at the banquet, Han Dong will not hesitate to launch the Deed War —a targeted campaign recognized by all the old kings.

Han Dong knew everything about the "land deed," as well as the powers and privileges he could wield and enjoy, when he became the lord.

[Deed War]

This is a special power possessed by lords.

To initiate Deed War, one must meet all three of the following conditions.

1. The initiator must be a lord and carry a "land deed".

2. The initiator must be located in the target territory (the area covered by the target title deed).

3. The lord to whom the target land deed belongs must also be located within the area covered by the land deed.

current.

Han Dong holds the deed to the Stuart Manor and is located within the Scarlet Manor, where the owner of the deed, Count Bach Earl, is also present.

All conditions are met.

When Han Dong issued this call for battle, the target lord could not refuse and had to fight.

Such a war would be wagered on "land deeds".

The victor will acquire the loser's "land deed," and the defeated party will become the victor's slave.

After all, if a lord cannot even protect his own land deeds, he has lost the meaning and right to survive.

In fact, all the lords are well aware of the conditions of this war.

Generally, when interacting with other lords, one should try to avoid doing so... for example, choosing to meet and talk with other lords outside of one's own manor, rather than meeting them in one's own manor.

But Lord Han Dong was really not a good person.

No lord would consider him a dangerous person, much less someone who would Deed War.

In terms of skill, Han Dong is only a Knight-Errant.

In terms of estate classification, Han Dong Dong's "Stuart Manor" only corresponds to Minor Deed, which is one level lower than the Earl's "Scarlet Manor".

Moreover, the Earl had already sent his subordinate, Great Bat Baron, to scout out the basic situation at the Stuart Manor during the few days Han Dong stayed at the Scarlet Manor.

The Crowman Tribe resides there, and there are no Mature Body among them—the Otherworldly Demons.

Under such circumstances, Han Dong actually took the initiative to launch a war... In anyone's eyes, it was practically a free lunch.

When the words "Deed War" reached the Earl's ears, he thought he had misheard.

As he stared at the "land deed" held in Han Dong's hand, the Earl, who had been frustrated because his baron had failed to obtain the Royal Blood Brew, grinned with a mad smile.

"Are you... even crazier than me? Giving me a land deed is much more satisfying than having another viscount's servant! Ahahaha!"

The Earl's maniacal laughter echoed in the area.

Han Dong replied calmly, "Count Bach treated us to a lavish welcome and even gave my friend a bottle of ' Royal Blood Brew '... Giving a land deed is no big deal."

However, now that the war has begun, I request that you, Earl, produce the land deeds.

Let's use two land deeds to set up the battleground and quickly begin this fight..."

The Earl reached up and touched the Conical Goggles around his eyes, grinning as he said, "Speaking of which, Lord Nicholas, you don't really think that your little manor of crows can stand against my Scarlet Manor, do you?"

"Of course we can't beat them."

"The battle has begun, and we have One Hour to prepare... Since everyone just left the Scarlet Hall, it's necessary to rest for a bit. How about we all meet in the front yard in forty-five minutes?"

"OK."

That just so happens, Han Dong needed some time to communicate with his teammates.

Of course, when Han Dong shouted the words "Deed War," apart from Demps had anticipated and accepted this fact, everyone else thought Han Dong had gone mad.

"Abel, are you ready to deal with that beast?"

"... Ready, but..."

"There's no 'but,' you just need to deal with that beast... you don't need to worry about anything else."

Abel completely trusted Han Dong and nodded in agreement.

Just then.

Senior Sister Zhen returned, having already taken care of the secret matters... Upon hearing that Han Dong had launched a war, she immediately understood what was going on.

"You... if you want to die, don't drag us down with you."

Just as Han Dong was about to reply to Senior Sister Zhen.

A strong aura of Blood Qi emanated from the portal, Blood Knight, who had undergone a complete transformation, stepped out from within... The intensity of the aura he exuded was incomparable to what it had been before.

Han Dong quickly offered his congratulations. "Congratulations, Captain Lucius, on fully mastering ' Royal Blood Brew ' and being granted a noble title..."

"What's going on here?" Lucius asked, noticing the grim expressions on everyone's faces.

Upon learning that Han Dong, as a lord, had issued a "Deed War" to Scarlet Count, Lucius asked with a calm expression:

How confident are you?

"I'm only 20% sure, but... with Captain Lucius's help, it could be over 50%."

"Bringing us to the Scarlet Villa, getting me to sign the contract, arranging for me to obtain Blood Brew... No wonder you're a student of Mr. Black and White. I, Lucius Torsell, am willing to assist you."

Now that the captain has joined the battle.

Renze and Jane could not possibly abandon their captain and flee the Alagad Mountains alone.

"Thank you for your help, seniors... And you, Demps?"

Demps took a deep breath and slowly made the number '1' with his hand. "Phew... alright. But I have one condition: if we win the war, my name must be listed second on the land deed."

"Sure... but I have one condition."

"I need you Demps, to help me hold off the Blood God's surveillance agents here during this battle— the Head Butler of the Scarlet Villa."
