Shock

Viscount Ferry left the room, where several fully armed warriors stood outside, wearing half-body armor purchased from the Golden Sunflower Territory.

Viscount Ferry was walking down the corridor, preparing to leave the castle, when one of the warriors quickly followed him. "Viscount, what's next?"

Viscount Ferry recognized him but didn't turn around. "Xibro, tell the brothers to get ready and proceed as planned!"

Xibro was the grumbling sentry officer. After hearing Viscount Ferry's words, he immediately tapped his chest with his arm guard in delight.

"Great, we've finally waited for this! I've been wanting to let those spineless cowards taste our power for a long time."

He turned to the group behind him and said, "Hurry up and get back to your groups. We're about to set off!"

The soldiers all responded in hushed tones with delight.

Viscount Ferry smiled as he heard their cheerful voices.

He recalled the scene when he left Ironwire City.

Cornwall County, Ironvine Territory, Ironwire City.

Count Lloyd, dressed in military attire, stood with his back to the window of the castle, while Viscount Ferry three companions stood opposite him.

Count Lloyd spoke up, "The army is ready, and the weapons and armor have been distributed!"

We are fully prepared for this operation, and I trust you will not let me down.

Baroness Kailan: "My lady, the men of the Chicory family will never back down!"

Baron Eamon: "The Dill family's army is impatient and eager to slay the enemy for you!"

Baron Nio: "The minions of the Glimmer Orchid are eager to drink the blood of their enemies."

Viscount Ferry: "My lord, all the warriors of Salt-leaf Tree have taken their designated positions and will begin fighting the moment the signal is given."

Count Lloyd nodded. "We have waited too long for this moment. The shame of the Iron Vine Family can finally be wiped away today."

My brothers and sisters, now is the time to raise our swords and show them our strength, to let them know that the Iron Vine Family will not be bullied.

Subsequently, under the command of Count Lloyd, the Ironvine Territory army and the armies of the four vassal states launched a full-scale attack in three separate columns.

The left wing, led by Viscount Ferry and Baron Nio, numbered 7,000 men and attacked Raspberry Territory and Arrow Bamboo Territory, using these territories as a springboard to attack the loyalist independent nobles in western Cornwall County.

The right wing, led by Baron Eamon and Baroness Kailan, numbered 6,000 men and attacked Tinder Grass Territory and Clear Camellia Territory, using these two territories as a springboard to attack the loyalist independent nobles in eastern Cornwall County.

The central army, commanded by Count Lloyd, advanced directly east of the Ironvine Territory to attack Tyre, the county Tyre City of Cornwall County, with the aim of capturing and killing the Governor of Cornwall County appointed by Mora. However, Viscount Saul Cassava completely disrupted Cornwall County.

Viscount Ferry finished reminiscing and walked out of the castle.

He found a high point on the city wall, raised his sword and shouted to the army below, "Soldiers, we have completed the punishment of the traitor. Sebas, the traitor of the Red Raspberry Family, has now been executed."

But our hatred has not been abated, our resentment has not been eliminated, and our murderous intent has not subsided. Can we stop here?

"No!" "No!"

The soldiers were filled with fervor. In recent years, Ironvine Territory and its four vassal territories had been blockaded by the nobles of Cornwall County, and the once rich territories had been declining day by day. These soldiers, who were of Freemen origin, felt this particularly deeply.

They were eager to defeat their enemies, vent their anger, and plunder wealth and resources.

Viscount Ferry nodded in satisfaction. The soldiers' fighting spirit was so fervent that they would surely make those who had defected to Silver Maple City pay the price.

"Then let's set off, let's go slaughter and ravage them!"

As he finished speaking, the army below the city cheered in unison.

Several Battalion Commander, including Xibro, began to lead their troops on a march eastward from the city walls.

Viscount Ferry also left the castle, riding his horse and leading the Cavalry to the front of the column.

Cohen stood on the city wall watching the departing army, and said to a knight beside him, "Sir Koli, do you think I did the right thing? I betrayed my own uncle."

Can Count Lloyd and his men achieve victory?

The knight reached out and patted Cohen on the shoulder. "Young Master Cohen, I don't know if Count Lloyd can stand against the Duchy, but I do know that if you hadn't betrayed Lord Sebas, Red Raspberry Castle would already be in ruins."

He pointed to the large convoy at the very back of Viscount Ferry's army.

Cohen looked closely and saw that the caravan contained a number of Bed Crossbow and Catapult, which were different from the ones he had seen before. However, he had a strange feeling that they were extremely powerful. Just the number of those Catapult alone could definitely break through the defenses of Red Raspberry Castle.

Thinking about this, Cohen's inner turmoil lessened considerably.

The other routes went smoothly, and the territories of the other three traitorous families have been captured.

The two armies on the left and right officially began their attack on the loyalist independent nobles of Cornwall County. No one was able to react in time. Even if small private armies gathered, they were quickly defeated by the well-equipped and highly motivated left and right armies.

Meanwhile, Count Lloyd led his army into the Cassava Territory. The only Cavalry force of the Iron Vine Family advanced along the road, quickly capturing all the outposts and passes along the way.

Meanwhile, in the Governor's Mansion in Tyre City, Governor Dansol had just received news of the fall of Raspberry Territory.

"That Sebas is a complete waste. Even if we had warned him in advance about the unusual activity in the Ironvine Territory, he would have been dealt with so quickly."

The tall Viscount Dansoer slammed his fist on the table in front of him; the fall of the Raspberry Territory had put him in a very passive position.

He has not yet issued a conscription order, and with his army alone, he cannot reclaim the occupied Raspberry Territory.

He must issue a summons as soon as possible, calling upon all the independent nobles of Cornwall County to lead their armies to join him and combine them to attack the Ironvine army.

"Quickly send the letter to all the noble lords in the county, telling them that the military situation is urgent and that if there is any delay, they should go to Silver Maple City to explain to His Majesty the Grand Duke themselves."

Viscount Dansoer told his messengers that he wanted them to deliver the urgent summons to the independent nobles throughout the county.

Just after seeing the communications officer off, Viscount Dansoer drank a cup of coffee at his seat.

Just as he finished his coffee and was about to take a tour of the military camp, a messenger rushed in.

Viscount Dansoer was furious and was about to whip the soldier.

But the soldier suddenly said, "Sir, a large army has appeared outside the city and has surrounded the Tyre City."

Viscount Dansoer was startled by what he heard. He hurriedly went to the city wall and looked at the army outside the city, and was somewhat confused for a moment.

Where did this large and well-equipped force come from? Just then, he noticed the force's flag.

"The Iron Vine Family Flag, and Lloyd's Commander's Flag."

"How could this be? How did they get here? Why didn't my outpost report this?"

But Thor suddenly went a little crazy.

Three days later, news reached Silver Maple City, shaking the entire city: Lloyd Ironvine had rebelled, the county seat of Cornwall County had fallen, the current governor, Dansall Cassava, had been killed in battle, and many parts of Cornwall had been attacked, plunging the city into chaos.
