At dusk, the water on Lake Pottery is rippling, and the wind blows across the lake, bringing ripples from time to time. It refracts the glow of the setting sun, leaving a string of sparkles like gems. On this beautiful and quiet lake, a majestic and majestic castle is built in the middle of the lake. The outside of the castle is a circle of high defensive walls, and the buildings inside are tall round towers, spires, observation towers, shooting bunkers, and so on. As for the main building, there are groups of buildings with vaults of various shapes, columns carved with intricate patterns, terraces extending in different directions, and domed pavilions with green vines.

Connecting the castle to the lakeshore is a road that has been built. The road can accommodate three carriages running side by side, and the road is spacious and clean. It leads straight to the gate of the castle, and to a certain extent also plays a role in restricting the direction of the enemy's attack. Now, a carriage is driving along this lake road into the castle, and after passing through layers of defense buildings, it arrives on a cobblestone fountain square.

Everyone who got off the carriage wore luxurious and decent clothes, and even the position of each hair was carefully modified. As for the emblems on the clothing that marked the identity, it shows that most of these people are barons.

It is definitely a rare scene for five or six jazz to gather, especially when they are called into this castle. Such scenes are even rarer. On the tallest bell tower of the castle, on the flag that was constantly blowing in the wind, the last ray of light of the evening slipped quietly down the unicorn with endless majesty on the flag, and finally jumped into the night.

In an empty room of the castle, dim lights were lit up around the walls, but the brightness of the electric lights seemed insufficient. So a candlestick in the middle of the dome of the hall was lit with candles as thick as a child's arm. The candlelight made up for the lack of light and illuminated the hall, especially the discussion table below.

On both sides of the rectangular table, the copper velvet cushion chairs are already full of people. After the barons met, they greeted each other, and everyone seemed polite. But among these people, two of them looked gloomy.

At this moment, the door of the hall was pushed open, and someone strode in. When he came in, all the Jazz closed their mouths to show their respect.

"Good evening, gentlemen." The man was wearing a white shirt and a lace scarf. A pair of linen breeches were covered with black riding boots. Sweat stains still appeared on his forehead, and he seemed to have just returned from riding a horse.

A servant brought a copper basin filled with light water. The man washed his hands and face with water, took a clean towel and wiped it, then sat down in the middle of the table. He is almost middle-aged, but he looks very young. He looks pretty and has a very gentle temperament. The well-groomed beard adds a touch of majesty to him, coupled with a pair of brilliant eyes, makes him stand out among a group of barons.

He is the master of this castle, the powerful Viscount Daniel. Although they are commensurate with these barons as friends, in fact, these barons are attached to the command of Viscount Daniel. In the noble class of the empire, the name of strength before the title usually means that the comprehensive strength of the jazz has reached the requirements after promotion, but due to lack of military merit or other reasons, and temporarily unable to be promoted, he will be in front of the title. Add the word strength to show the difference. This special title is just like what it literally refers to. Such a nobleman is often strong, much more than the same rank.

Just like Viscount Daniel, his Unicorn Legion has a regular organization of more than 3,000 people. If the cannon fodder, logistics, and other related personnel are included, the number of the army will reach as many as 5,000. Sitting on such an army, Daniel is naturally qualified to add the word "strength" in front of his title. What's more, his own source power is not bad, the strength of level 24 has almost reached the threshold of the earl. Because of this, all the barons around his territory chose to surrender to him.

Viscount Daniel sat down, glanced over the jazz, smiled and said: "It seems that everyone is in a low mood, so you have lost the battle. My unicorn has also lost a squadron of Cavaliers, nor see You have to be as sad as you guys. Wherever you lose, you can win back. What do you think?"

A jazz with bauhinia and snakes embroidered on his clothes snorted: "Master Daniel, it’s not as simple as defeating this time. Sir Bia and I received a letter from Storm City at the same time. The letter is in charge. The lord of Storm City asked us to pay a ransom before he was willing to return the two commanders under our banner. And..."

"And what?" The Viscount sat up a little bit and asked.

"And asked us to pay compensation for this matter. The war indemnity he listed is simply an astronomical figure!" The baron slapped the table hard and said: "This is simply outrageous. If you won't win, you will be arrogant. It’s too arrogant."

Daniel showed an unexpected expression, and then smiled: "It seems that there is an interesting guy on the border. What is his name?"

"It's called Ellen, my lord."

"Alan? If I have a chance, I really want to see him." Daniel changed a comfortable position and said: "It seems that you have kicked the iron this time, so let's do it. The two commanders still have to pay the ransom. After all, soldiers can be recruited, but those who can lead the war are not there. As for war compensation, I will give him a formal written warning in my own name. If he still wants compensation, then I will. Give him a war."

"A real war!" Daniel said with a smile.

Allen sneezed suddenly.

Father Miró looked at him strangely: "You have a cold?"

He shook his head and said: "Go ahead, where did we talk about it?"

"Everything has been prepared, the renovation of the temple has been completed, and we have a church of our own. Now the one who is missing is to pick a time to officially start the flag. Through the development of this period of time, we have already had the first batch of church members. , Including some officials. Just wait for the church to officially open, and I will be able to recruit believers.” When it comes to excitement, the priest almost danced.

Looking at the appearance of his divine stick, Alan could hardly imagine what the first pope would look like if Christianity grows on this planet. He refrained from laughing and nodded: "I have asked Roger to come to Storm City. It is expected that next month, I will go to the hinterland of the empire. So the church must be open before I leave. Just pick it on next Monday. Time is ready to prepare."

"That's it." Father Miró agreed.

Then looked at Alan, Milo tried to ask: "So today, do you want to talk about your father?"

"Hey?" Allen raised his head, but unexpectedly shook his head and said, "No, there are a lot of things to be busy next. I'll talk about that man later, I'm going back, there are some more The file depends on it."

He stood up and left.

Father Miró looked at his disappearing figure in the night, and after a while he said: "This little guy, it seems to have grown."

This weekend, an army visited Storm City. That was the army of Dark Iron Fortress, and Higgs arrived at Storm City with ten Dark Cloud Knights and a hundred infantry. The army was received by Wrigg from the barracks for rest and repair, while Higgs himself was hosted by Allen.

"What a rare visitor, Captain Higgs. Last time I said goodbye, I thought it would take a long time to see you again."

In the study of the City Lord’s Mansion, Alan and Higgs sat on the sofa. Higgs smiled and said: "Since the last time I had a long conversation with Lord Allen, I have often wanted to see the adults again. I was helpless with official duties. Until recently, I heard that Storm City was under siege. Although I know this little thing is hard to come by. Allen-sama, but still can’t help but rush to see where I can help."

"I have to worry about. How is the Black Iron Fort?"

"It's still the same, but Sir Sharon is unwilling to be lonely. In the next year or two, he will try to develop inland."

Allen nodded and said, "Sir Sharon is ambitious, so naturally he would not be willing to condescend to a small border."

"Yeah, what about Lord Ellen?" Higgs said with feelings: "I saw your studio just now when I entered the city. How long has passed since then, Lord Ellen's efficiency really doesn't have to be said. . I’m very thankful that Sir Sharon has followed my advice and is not an enemy of you. Otherwise, we will probably have a lot of headaches."

Allen smiled faintly: "The resources in the border land are limited. The two of us are fighting each other. In the end, in the eyes of the real nobles of the empire, it is just a dog bone. I am also very happy that the Black Iron Fort is not an enemy. , So that we can save time in the war and use it to develop our own business."

"It seems that Lord Allen is also preparing to leave the border land."

"I have this plan."

The two experimented with each other again. After getting the information he wanted, Allen sent Haggs down to rest and invited him to attend the church opening ceremony tomorrow. Higgs readily agreed, and did not ask what a church was. When he wanted to come, it should be almost the same thing as the temple.

After Higgs left, Belmode knocked on the door and came in and handed Alan a note. The note was sent by the frontier military station. The information above showed that the people from the Black Iron Fort had arrived at the border five days ago, and the people who came were by no means the only ones brought by Higgs. However, after hearing that the predicament of Storm City had been resolved, Black Iron Fort's troops withdrew from the border, and in the end only Higgs came to visit with a hundred people.

Alan smiled and rubbed the note into powder. Naturally, the Black Iron Fort would not be the kind of loyal ally with two ribs. If Storm City fell that day, Allen could be sure that the Black Iron Fort would never come to rescue, and would only take the opportunity to share a piece of the pie. This was expected, but this information made Allen temporarily surprised and decided to slightly modify the procedures for opening the church tomorrow. r1058
