"This is the army of the empire's Baron?"

In the castle, in front of the arched window, Viscount Fragoso let the red wine flow down his arms, while the nobles beside him also looked at the battlefield below in silence.

"Baron Ryan is not an empire-like Baron. His territory is very powerful and his population is no less than that of a viscount."

Mihai behind her was also silent at this result, but as the only one present who had been to Frozen Earth Territory, she still spoke up.

"No matter how powerful he is, he is just Baron."

"According to your opinion, I admit that Ryan has great abilities and is a once-in-a-century outstanding noble in the empire, but he is just a Baron, still the Baron of Northern Lands."

"But I, Fragoso, have hundreds of years of experience, am I so bad?"

Taking a deep breath, Fragoso couldn't accept his own incompetence and the incompetence of his predecessors.

"Tell Digran, we must win this battle!"

He almost suppressed his anger and roared out. It would be fine if he was the only one, but don't forget that there are other nobles beside him. They stand on the Fragoso Family's side, and they also stand on Grand Duke McReynolds's side. Today's scene, if they lose completely, will shake their trust in Fragoso.

The situation in the kingdom is tense now, and he and the Grand Duke must unite a group of nobles around them to achieve great things.

In terms of military strength, it is the only reference value.

So, we must win today.

As he said that, the viscount glanced at his daughter. From all aspects, Mihai was more suitable to be his heir than Digran, but it might not make sense.

Mihai knew what Fragoso meant, turned around and left here, and soon appeared in the military camp below.

"Fragoso's elite are about to return to the castle. Mr. Harrington, please wait a moment while we conduct the drill again."

Taking this opportunity, Mihai came to Harrington.

She first praised the power of Frozen Earth Territory's army, and then tactfully said that there were some nobles watching in the castle, which meant that Fragoso would have a say in the future, which might affect the number of transactions with Frozen Earth Territory.

Harrington understands, Mihai wants him to let go, and the price is that Fragoso will buy more weapons from Frozen Earth Territory and sell them more food.

But he rejected Mihai without thinking.

"Sorry, Lordship the Lady, I am Baron Ryan's attendant. I have no right to let Baron Ryan's soldiers give up their victory."

"This represents the glory of the Ryan Family. The honor of the knights prevents us from returning to the territory as weaklings."

Harrington's voice is fair. The cavalry behind him is Frozen Earth Territory's most elite army. If he loses, it will be a huge blow to Frozen Earth Territory's reputation and Baron Ryan's prestige.

Baron Ryan has never failed on the battlefield, so they cannot lose to any army.

Not to mention the soldiers of Viscount Fragoso, even if the archduke sent Griffin Knights, they could not bow their heads.

After receiving such an answer, Mihai looked a little ugly, but she still nodded to show that she understood.

Not long after, a new group of soldiers appeared in Viscount's Territory, a total of three hundred people, but Harrington could see clearly that two hundred of them were the same soldiers from before.

"Charge!"

Holding long weapons for training, the earth trembled, and iron hoofs trampled on the land, stirring up the most primitive smell of the soil. The heavily armed armies of both sides collided together again like Lions.

Finally seeing blood, Fragoso issued an order. All the soldiers did not dare to be careless and no longer evaded. They must win.

But in the end, it was themselves who saw blood.

In the castle, Viscount Fragoso's eyes were gloomy and he turned around to stop looking at the outcome of this exercise.

The other nobles around also had inexplicable looks in their eyes, not knowing what they were thinking.

"That Frozen Earth Territory Baron's army is so powerful. It seems... it is necessary for us to get in touch with that Baron. It would be good to deepen our relationship."

"I heard that there is a caravan from Frozen Earth Territory purchasing grain? You can communicate with them."

On the second day of Dawn, these nobles returned to their territories in carriages. The distance between the territories of the nobles in the Andara Kingdom was much shorter than the distance between Imperial Noble. It took only two or three hours for them to return to their territories.

However, what these nobles didn't know was that there were so many people when they went there, but when they came back, there were a few more people.

Apia squatted in the shadow of the corner, looking at Baron Huffman in front of him, who was writing a letter in front of the desk. He walked over. This Baron was neither a knight nor Mages, and he couldn't realize that the most powerful Catfolk assassin was right next to him.

"His Highness Hernan, I saw something very interesting today. Viscount Fragoso, who was next to McReynolds, invited a caravan from the empire. It was a team of Baron, with..."

Baron Huffman wrote a lot of nonsense, and when he gradually reached the key points, he heard a knock on the door.

He looked at the door warily, then put the letter in his hand under the table.

"Come in."

The person who came in was Knight Roserett, the most powerful knight in the territory of Baron. Baron looked at the person in charge of power in the territory and asked with some dissatisfaction:

"What's the matter, Knight Roserett?"

The knight knew that Baron was concerned about someone disturbing him when he was in the study, but he still said:

"Mr. Baron, Miss Poppy guesses that a thief has entered the territory. I wonder if you have discovered anything."

"Is there anyone?"

Huffman had a ghost in his heart, so naturally he couldn't help but wonder if he had exposed something.

"You should lead some people to search the territory and arrest all the strangers."

He is cautious.

"Follow your will."

"Oh, by the way, did someone from Frozen Earth Territory come to our place?"

"Yes, they arrived yesterday afternoon. They were purchasing food from the territory."

"Don't worry about them. You can find a way to contact them and just say..."

Baron Huffman explained that after the knight left, Baron Huffman continued writing. Finally, Apia watched him open a hidden compartment behind a bookcase and put the letter in it.

Magic Mystic Runes covered it. After Baron Huffman left, Apia did not dare to take action. He was not familiar with magic methods, so it would be bad if he was alerted.

But from the few words he saw before, he could already understand something.

"His Highness Hernan... This should be the prince of the kingdom, right?"
