"Do you know what you are talking about?" Vian said angrily, "It's enough for people outside to spread the word, but you actually came to tell me!"
"What kind of bullshit Portland City has been their Griffin Territory land since ancient times? Can you even believe this nonsense?"
"This is obviously an excuse for him to attack our Count Vian leader!" Vian roared while angrily smashing objects in the mansion everywhere, and the sawdust flew out.
Countess Sophia, who was sitting next to Count Vian, was shocked. She originally heard this after going out today and wanted to ask about the situation, but she didn't expect her husband to be so angry.
When Vian was not so excited, she dared to say, "Then what should we do?"
"Fight! Fight him!" Vian roared loudly with his face turning red.
"Have we not fought before? We are not their opponents. If we fight again, it will be difficult to win, right?" Vian's wife was a little worried.
"We have to fight even if we can't beat him! Could it be that we have to give Portland City to him! To that despicable villain!" Vian said angrily. He naturally knew that he was no match for Claire.
Last time so many people joined forces, it was not enough for Claire to fight alone. Now he is the only one, and he has also seen how well Nafu City is developing now. He has recruited new knights and many more High Mage. If they meet this time, he will probably lose even more miserably.
But he just couldn't give it in. Why would he hand over Portland City to the other party like this? So even if he couldn't beat him, he would bite out a piece of flesh from the other party to let Claire know that he is not easy to mess with! Even if he loses in the end, he will destroy Portland City and cannot hand it over to the opponent. Anyway, his main city is not here. After losing, he will retreat to the main city in the north. That place was granted to his family by the first King. It can't be the territory of Griffin Territory since ancient times, right?
"Okay, then you go and fight. I'll go back to the main city first." Vian's wife stood up and walked towards the door.
Vian looked at this wife who was unwilling to share the joys and sorrows with him and sighed, but he didn't say anything sarcastic towards her. Her wife's natal family is a big family in the capital, and their status is actually about the same. On weekdays, he uses the strength of his wife's family to do a lot of things for himself.
"Then go and take the children back." Vian shouted at his wife's back.
Because Portland City's economy is more developed, Vian and the others will live here longer. On the contrary, they don't live that much time in the main city, so the whole family lives here. In the future, they may have to change some of their lifestyles/
Vian's wife was almost out of sight when she sent back a message, "I know!"
Vian only then put down his snack slightly and began to think about how to deal with Claire and bite out a piece of meat from his body, otherwise he would not be willing to die!
Not long after his wife went out, Vian was in the room studying the terrain of the two territories and how to deal with the airship in the sky, when a panicked figure rushed into the room.
Vian frowned and looked over, but the person who came was his wife who had just gone out.
"Didn't I ask you to take the children back to the main city? Why are you back again?" Vian asked in confusion, and he also saw a trace of panic on his wife's face.
Vian's wife gasped for air and kept patting her chest to make herself less panicked.
"Well... I just took the children out of Portland City, and I saw Griffin Territory's army in the distance outside the city!"
"Hmm!!!" Vian stood up from his seat in fright, his voice trembling a little, "They have invaded?!"
"It's impossible. I didn't receive a declaration of war from Griffin Territory. How dare they attack directly?!" Vian shook his head with disbelief on his face.
These lords in a kingdom and loyal to the same King must declare war before going to war. At best, this is a dispute between territories, and it has not reached the point of life and death. Some superficial rules still need to be discussed.
Not to mention them, wars between countries also need to be formally declared. As long as they don't break up, some rules still have to be said. Otherwise, it would be unethical. They are not the only two countries in the world. They would be condemned by other countries and give other countries an excuse to join the war. Of course, if you are an empire with extraordinary strength, even if you do not declare war, other countries will not dare to say anything.
"They did not attack directly..."
"Then what are they gathering the troops to do there? Camping!" Vian said angrily.
"I sent the knights to ask, and they said they were conducting military exercises." Vian's wife paused and continued, "They also said that their exercises are not targeting nearby lords. Let us not worry."
Vian: "..." Does anyone believe such nonsense?
"Are they conducting drills there? I want to go over and have a look."
"On the plain a few kilometers north of Portland City."
"That's my territory! Why are they here for exercises!" Vian was very angry, but after finishing speaking, he realized that he had said nonsense. People naturally knew it and came here on purpose. Maybe in their eyes, these territories already belong to them Griffin Territory.
"Forget it, don't tell me, I'll go there myself!"
Vian After finishing speaking, he put on his coat, walked out, summoned his knights and rushed towards the direction his wife said.
An hour later, Vian returned to his mansion in Portland City in despair.
The sitting wife immediately got up and walked over when she saw Vian coming back, and asked worriedly, "How is it? Have they retreated?"
Hearing this, Vian seemed to have the scene he just saw flashing before his eyes, the release of more than thirty High Mage, a torrent of spells that flattened a hill, and the knights who rode Gale Wolf to raid on the plains, roaring loudly and exuding endless killing intent, Griffin Territory.
Vian Just watching from a distance, he was frightened by the fighting power displayed by those troops. Not only him, but also few of the knights who followed him moved forward. They only dared to watch from a distance a few hundred meters away, Regan having no intention of fighting these people at all.
They are not on the same level as Renren at all. The knights of Griffin Territory give him an unstoppable momentum. If he meets them, he will definitely be defeated in one blow. By then, even Vian at the rear will not be as safe as before.
"Vian!" Seeing that Vian didn't respond, his wife had to raise her voice, "What's going on? Can the children and I leave Portland City?"
Hearing the shouting from his ears, Vian finally came back to his senses.
"It's okay, I will send someone to talk to Count Griffin."
"Talking to peace?"
Vian took a deep breath and nodded, "Well, I will let him compensate us with some money. Portland City can give it to him."
"Then he thinks that Portland City is his territory since ancient times, so he doesn't want to pay?"
"Then..." Vian was stuck on his words. After holding it in for a long time, he said loudly and forcefully, "Then I don't want it anymore!"
