He looked at the Hengfors army that had arrived in front of the castle and couldn't help but frown.
He was also unsure of the other party's intention.
Fortunately, the other party stopped far away from the castle.
Not long after, another knight galloped out of the army and came to the city.
City of Shabard's lord cleared his throat and shouted to the knights below the city.
"There has never been any enmity between our country and the Henfors Alliance. What are your troops from the Henfors Alliance doing in Chabad City?"
The knight responded equally loudly.
"Mrs. Beniga is a cursed child of disaster. Since she took office, she has persecuted the noble people and engaged in terrorism. She is not worthy of ruling Targo. In response to the pleading of your nobles, my lord, King Niedamir, sent troops to Targo to seek justice for those who died."
"My Lord has made a promise. If Kaicheng surrenders, City of Shabard will not be violated. But if we persist, City of Shabard will be turned into ruins."
"You have an hour to think about it."
An hour flies by in a blink of an eye.
Seeing that there was no movement at City of Shabard's city gate and no sign of opening, Niedamir, who personally led the troops and was in charge of the central army, did not seem to be surprised.
He just waved his hand and gave the order.
"Siege the city."
Outside Talgar City, in the witcher's camp.
A messenger walked into the camp and was brought to Lynn.
"Sir, Master Istredd urgently invites you to come to the city to discuss matters."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
With doubts, Lynn came to the lord hall of Talgar City.
What he didn't expect was that this time it was no longer his private meeting with Istredd.
All the nobles in the Restoration Army are here.
When they saw the cat pupils in Lynn's eyes, although they all looked shocked, they didn't say much.
Obviously, they all knew that there was a demon hunter fighting alongside them this time.
There is no plot in the online article that Lynn read in his previous life, "There is a nobleman who considers himself to be from a noble family and has a noble bloodline, but he disdains the company of the protagonist, and specially goes up to the pole to mock the protagonist, and then is slapped in the face by the protagonist in a pretentious manner, and finally is shocked on the spot."
Soon, Istredd arrived.
But his face was solemn.
Obviously he didn't call everyone here because something good was going to happen.
Sure enough...
After a few simple greetings, Istredd got to the point and stated the purpose of calling everyone here:
"Hengfors League is calling."
This short sentence made the nobles present stunned.
It took quite a while to react.
Mainly it was too shocking and beyond everyone's expectations.
Principality of Talgar and Hengfors League have never had territorial disputes. Lady Benigna and King Niedamir have never even met, let alone enmity.
Why did Hengfors League suddenly march towards Principality of Talgar?
And it's still at this time?
Among the nobles present, there was no noble named Talgar, so Istredd opened the skylight and spoke frankly.
"The King Niedamir of Caingorn, in the past few years, either through marriage or military conquest, has gathered the scattered small city-states that were independent from Kovir and formed Hengfors League."
"And Lady Benigna had been tortured and hurt because of Curse of the Black Sun, so after taking power, she hung all those who had hurt her on the gallows."
"But some people escaped Talgar."
"Now, King Niedamir wants to demand justice from Lady Benigna in the name of those remnants of the party."
A nobleman sneered, "What do you mean by asking for justice? I'm afraid you don't want to embezzle Principality of Talgar."
Everyone present is not a child. Who can talk about justice and righteousness except the knight errant of Toussaint?
King Niedamir has risen rapidly in recent years. In just a few years, he has built a country with a land area larger than Principality of Talgar.
If he is allowed to annex Talgar again, the area of the country he rules will be equivalent to Kovir and Poviss.
And this may be the true intention of the king.
King Niedamir is still very young, he is even younger than King Foltest of Temeria. If he can really merge Principality of Talgar into Hengfors League, it is hard to say how far he can take the country in the future.
Another noble asked, "Sir, you summoned us here because of Lady Benigna?"
Istredd nodded.
"Principality of Talgar City of Shabard on the eastern border fell yesterday. In order to scare the monkeys, the Niedamir country has executed all the nobles in the city, but it has done nothing to harm the common people."
"Now the alliance Allies is besieging Panhu City. If Panhu City is captured by the alliance Allies again, this Talgar City will face the enemy's army."
Principality of Talgar is originally just a small country, and its land area is slightly larger than the Velen province of Temeria, but its size is also limited.
Therefore, after the Hengfors League Army captured City of Shabard on the eastern border of Talgar, it marched all the way in. It was no longer possible for the entire eastern border to resist the invasion of the United Allies.
Until he rushed all the way to Panhu City.
When everyone heard this, they all took a deep breath.
A nobleman spoke out the thoughts of everyone present.
"King Niedamir actually executed only the nobles when they fell into the city. What a vicious conspiracy."
City of Shabard Resistance Alliance Allies If the city is massacred after it is defeated, it will only arouse fierce resistance from the entire Principality of Talgar.
But now, Lian Allies only executed nobles and did not infringe upon the common people at all.
This will be crucial for the subsequent siege of the city.
King Niedamir's approach is equivalent to separating Principality of Talgar's nobles from soldiers and civilians.
It abruptly turned an "anti-invasion war" into "an internal fight between nobles. It doesn't matter who becomes a noble anyway. Why should we, the common people, bleed and sacrifice for the nobles?"
It may even have further influence within Principality of Talgar - "If the Hengfors people really rule Principality of Talgar, this new land will still need nobles to manage it, so who will be the new nobles? Why can't it be me?"
"Lady Benigna was kind to me. When Lady Benigna needed help the most, I couldn't abandon her. Therefore, I decided to help Lady Benigna repel the invading Hengfors League first, and then regain the motherland."
None of the nobles had any objections to Istredd's decision.
Lady Benigna not only took in Thyssen family when Thyssen family was exiled to Principality of Talgar, but also devoted all his efforts to Istredd's war of restoration.
No matter which angle you look at, it is impossible to abandon Lady Benigna at this time.
