A few days later.
Exciting news came from Vulpine Town - Lion Knight Order has withdrawn from Vulpine Town.
After Brennus's actions were reported to Vulpine Town, the offensive and defensive momentum immediately changed. Lion Knight Order's morale became extremely low, and there were even many deserters!
As the leader of Royal Knights, Brennus betrayed the king, which really made it difficult for a large number of Lion Knight to accept it.
Godric led Kloze to win the battle, and reunited with Sir Roland while cleaning up the heretic Fallen One. They are now safe.
But Godric still did not come to Lion City because he had not yet found his son Andrew, so he continued to lead his troops to pursue him near the distant countryside.
At the same time, Lion City ushered in two powerful lords.
Misty Marsh Fortress lord Herriwold, and Brave Shield Fortress lord Leofric.
They came to swear allegiance to Amy, and they were also the lords who were the quickest to receive the news.
And they, immediately after completing the allegiance ceremony, received enviable and surprising rewards.
It is enviable because they have both been promoted to knighthood and are now Earl.
It was surprising because they exchanged territories on the spot when they received the knighthood, and they did so voluntarily under the witness of Amy and Li Ang.
Today, Herriwold has become Brave Shield Fortress Earl, and Leofric has become Misty Marsh Fortress Earl.
At the same time, Amy also added jurisdiction to them.
The original territory of Herriwold, Misty Marsh Fortress, was transferred to Leofric, and Ibian and other surrounding villages and towns were also included in the Earl territory of Leofric.
Herriwold Earl will go to Brave Shield Fortress to take charge of the entire county. Fletcher Village and Ermined have also been included in Herriwold's Earl territory and become its subordinate territories.
This is of course the result of deliberate discussions.
Leofric has been seeking military exploits and opportunities. Now he has once again made the same decision as when he traded Kewen Village for Brave Shield Fortress - to trade Brave Shield Fortress for Misty Marsh Fortress to face the war.
Misty Marsh Fortress is about to become the main battlefield of the entire continent. This is obvious - Misty Marsh Fortress is the border fortress directly facing Fieltzwe and Raven Kingdom. It is also the closest castle to Cliff Bay. It can be said to be the most dangerous place at the moment.
Of course, it is also the place where you have the best chance to make achievements.
Whether it is to deal with Fieltzwe or Brennus, Misty Marsh Fortress is the frontline.
If Brennus is solved, Lion Knight Order is destroyed, and Cliff Bay is recovered, you can become the Duke of Cliff Bay - what Amy promised.
Risks and opportunities always coexist, and this is the decision of the brave.
Of course, although Leofric did not say it clearly, Li Ang knew why he did this - because Leofric made it clear that he was going to conquer Lion Knight Order, the newly minted rebel army.
The Griffin crest on Leofric is not a decoration. He still remembers his origin. It was Lion Knight Order that led to the destruction of Griffin Knights. He wants to wash away the shame of his ancestors!
This is indeed the reincarnation of heaven...
Now that Lion Knight Order has become a rebel, the descendants of Griffin Knights will naturally step on them, so that they can live up to the centuries-old grudge between the two knights.
So Li Ang asked Amy to directly add the town of Ibian to the jurisdiction of Misty Marsh Fortress.
This is not only encouragement and support for Leofric, but also adding name and legal principles to Leofric. It is also a test of Ryman.
Ibian town is a very prosperous town. It was originally subordinate to Cliff Bay and under the jurisdiction of Brennus.
This is the barony of the Ryman family - Ryman is the deputy leader of Lion Knight Order, and his father is a subordinate of Brennus. Such a camp has decided that Ryman cannot become one of its own, and Li Ang did not send any news to him first.
But Ryman's current attitude is not clear. He is at Seven Forks Fortress, very close to Lion City. If he is Brennus's hardcore subordinate, then he should take some action now.
But there was no movement from Seven Forks Fortress.
Perhaps this is because Ryman doesn't have many troops, because Lion Knight Order's main force went to Vulpine Town before, and Ryman's previous task was to repair Seven Forks Fortress, and he only had civilians in his hands.
Anyway, let's test it first before talking.
After all, Li Ang knows that Ryman is not a conspirator.
As for Herriwold, he went to Brave Shield Fortress mainly because he was older and the battle formation was no longer suitable for the elderly.
But Herriwold, who has matured with age, is the best person to handle rear affairs.
Therefore, the old man was promoted to Earl, went to Brave Shield Fortress as county governor, and included Ermined into Herriwold's Earl collar.
Herriwold has huge appeal in Horn Summon Ranger Corps, and his presence in Brave Shield Fortress is almost like Count Oden back then. Whether it is Gatu people or people with ulterior motives lurking in the eastern region, it is no longer a problem.
Ermined Village was originally the territory of Long River Town, but now it is the fiefdom of Forster.
Herriwold's mission is to ensure the safety of the eastern part of the kingdom. Not only must we keep an eye on Gatu people, but we must also keep an eye on Forster, the old man who is now the county governor and Forster's immediate boss.
The two newly promoted Earl each went to their new territories after swearing allegiance.
And Amy also officially issued a credential declaring war to Fieltzwe on this day.
In fact, everyone already knows what will happen to the Lionheart Kingdom in the future...
Amy's coronation as Queen is irreversible.
The future first duke of the kingdom will definitely be Grand Duke of Long River Town Li Ang. Of course, he may also become a regent or even a king...
Godric will settle in Lion City as a prince and become King's Hand.
No matter what Brennus does, it can no longer change the situation of the Lionheart Kingdom. He may defect to Fieltzwe or Raven Kingdom, or he may establish himself as king in Cliff Bay - but no matter what, he can only be rebellious.
There is no longer a duke in Lion Territory, and the two new Earl also regard Li Ang as their coach...
Now Li Ang has an overwhelming advantage over others, both in terms of status and strength, and he also has the authority of rebel personally granted by Ulrich.
If you don't want to be regarded as a traitor by Li Ang, you can only swear allegiance to Amy and try to compete for the two vacant duke positions.
And it's also important to do it as early as possible. The two newly promoted Earl, Herriwold and Leofric, can already illustrate the problem - those who pledge their allegiance early can be promoted to the rank of nobility.
Now, there is only one problem left before Li Ang and Amy.
Lionheart Kingdom How to fight when faced with a multi-front battle?
The war with Fieltzwe must be fought;
At the same time, Brennus and the remnants of Lion Knight Order who still follow him must also be wiped out;
After the news of the king's death spreads, Bax, Raven Crow, and Desha will most likely take advantage of the situation to rob him.
But for Li Ang, at this time, of course, all countries have to compete together!
Therefore, before these three countries received the exact news, different problems basically occurred within them at the same time - in order to avoid being taken advantage of, Li Ang acted preemptively.
Just like Ulrich once did... Of course, it will definitely be more thorough than Ulrich.
When Lion City was first blocked, Li Ang was already sending messages everywhere.
After all, these three countries have all been beaten by Li Ang, and there are acquaintances in all three countries...
The last day of June.
It's midsummer.
People in the Pande Continent regard midsummer as the day of peace. Under normal circumstances, they will not use swords or guns on this day.
Because the midsummer day more than 150 years ago was the day when Pande Continent countries declared an armistice.
But now, the midsummer day of Pendor Calendar 356 has become the 'day of chaos' when all countries in the Pande Continent unanimously declared war - Pande Continent All countries once again fell into war at the same time.
Maybe Lion City is indeed the center of the entire continent. Anyway, basically every country got the news of Lion King Ulrich's death on the same day.
--Li Ang has been controlling Lion City these days, and all the news comes from his people. If Raven City hadn't been a little far away, he could even control the time to the hour...
Usually, when the king of a country dies, other countries will try to send troops to take advantage after getting the news.
But this time, the reactions of various countries were a bit strange.
Lionheart Kingdom declares war on Fieltzwe. This is a war of revenge, which is normal. Fieltzwe also accepts the challenge.
But Bacchus Empire suddenly declared war on Dexia, and directly sent out land and water armies, seemingly turning a blind eye to what happened to the Lionheart Kingdom...
And Raven Kingdom, the day after declaring war on the Lionheart Kingdom, actually sent an envoy again to try to negotiate peace with the Lionheart Kingdom...
Facing Lionheart Kingdom's declaration of war, although Fieltzwe had no choice but to passively respond, they could indeed understand it because their people had 'assassinated Lion King'...
Of course this kind of war is inevitable, King Vidis didn't even try to explain - he asked 'Calamity Seeker' Gondor, and Gondor said that his godson Inna had indeed gone to Lion Territory.
In fact, Gondor even felt a little proud - he felt that Inna had done something great!
I traveled to Lion Territory alone and was able to kill the king!
This is definitely the next generation King of Pirates. The entire Fieltzwe plus Vanskery will be in awe of Inna!
Of course the pirates will worship this legendary regicide, but only King Vidis and some Fieltzwe lords find it a headache - this is purely provoking trouble.
And this kind of excuse to start a war, Lionheart Kingdom is afraid it will last a lifetime!
So now Inna also has a nickname-'Chaos'.
Although no one knows where Inna is at this time, the name of "provoking" Inna has been widely spread on the West Coast.
It matches his godfather's name 'Calamity Seeker' very well.
Bacchus Empire will declare war on Dexia, nominally because Aishikeman has been attacked by Dexian people - this is indeed true. Since Bacchus Empire took control of Aishikeman, Dexian people has been carrying out small-scale attacks almost every day. This is also the daily state of newly occupied areas.
But in fact, Emperor Marius did not take advantage of the Lionheart Kingdom at this time, but turned to Dexia. The main reason is that Li Ang spent money...
Things like krypton gold are useful at any time.
Li Ang wrote a letter to Emperor Marius, and the news of Ulrich's death spread along with it.
The letter was given to Marius by Alina, and the content was. "Which should we choose, to let the people in the eastern part of the continent cultivate their land with peace of mind, or to let them all go to the battlefield? - This question is worth half a million dinars."
Then, Bacchus Empire declared war on Dexia...
Of course Emperor Marius understands that the debt of half a million dinars he owed Li Ang has been written off.
His Majesty the Emperor does not intend to default on his debt, and he indeed hopes that the eastern region can farm with peace of mind.
Marius is probably the one who knows Li Ang best among all kings. He will never doubt Li Ang's ability and determination-if Bacchus Empire is in Li Ang When launched a war of revenge for Ulrich, then Li Ang must have the ability to plunge the entire Bax into the flames of war.
As for Dexia, Li Ang also solved the problem with only one letter, which was addressed to Ramon.
Ramon is no longer a slave trader. During the period when Dexia was in civil strife, Ramon lived a very prosperous life in Xingar - he has now become an arms dealer selling arms on both ends, and is the new 'Lord of War' of the Pande Continent.
That is, two equipment suppliers of 'Bahad Khan'.
Kadan and his younger brother Emil Xixis have been fighting a tug-of-war, but Li Ang created an evenly matched situation for them before, and it was not easy to decide the winner.
In addition, Ramon has fully understood the principle of 'let them see the benefits first' mentioned by Li Ang, and provide equipment and manpower to whoever falls at a disadvantage.
If there is a truce between the two sides, he will send assassins from time to time to stimulate it, but the war will not end anyway.
As a result, brothers Kadan and Emil have been fighting until now. I don't know how many people have died on both sides, but no one has gained any benefits.
Except for Ramon, who sells arms at very high profits, Ramon has made a fortune now.
After Desha was successful in his work, Ramon naturally planned to expand his business scope a little more...
However, Ramon really has no interest in the throne. His ideal and goal is to become the world's number one wealthy businessman. Anyway, he is different from other businessmen - he has Scorpion Assassins. If any lord dares to regard him as a fat sheep, I am afraid that he will eventually become his fat sheep...
Now, Li Ang very considerately gave his good brother an opportunity to expand his business - he asked Ramon to take the arms business to Fieltzwe.
For Ramon, there are some customers in Fieltzwe that are really easy to negotiate with, such as Dawn Knight Order and the Holy Inquisitor Rasmu Defatika.
Since these religious forces want to spread their 'just' beliefs, then give them some convenience. Anyway, they think all Dexia are heretics.
In addition, a few months ago, Sarah performed a stage play in Gazi Mountain, causing God Vata to be beaten by Goddess of Order. God Vata's influence was not as good as before. This was a good opportunity for religious forces to invade.
As a result, Dawn Knight Order received a large amount of 'sponsorship' in just a few days, and some Xingar who 'abandoned the dark and turned to the light' led them the way, advancing their 'mission' of purifying everything with fire to the hinterland of Dexia.
Dawn Knight Order invaded Dexia on a large scale, and the one who was most panicked was of course Dusk Knight Order. At this time of life and death, Xingar's Twilight Knight Of course we have to rise up to resist - Dusk Knight Order is stationed at Xingar, and their Grand Commander lost contact some time ago, so it is very convenient for Ramon to start things.
Malbert has been sent to Siyuan City prison by Alina for having "illegal intentions". Brutus also cut his crotch with a knife. He is currently in a state of serious injury... Even his gender is not clear, so he has naturally lost contact.
So under the guidance of Li Ang, Dusk Knight Order also gained Ramon's 'friendship' at the same time. Groups of temporarily armed Dexia herdsmen became dusk slaves, and a battle between dawn and dusk began from Nudaburg to Xingar.
This is also one of the reasons why Emperor Marius declared war on Dexia. If you really want to take advantage of the situation, it is indeed easier to rob Dexia, without any worries...
