At dusk, the water on Lake Portilli rippled, and the wind blew across the lake, bringing about circles of ripples from time to time. Refracting the glow of the setting sun, it left behind a string of bright sparkles like gemstones. On this beautiful and quiet lake, in the middle of the lake, there was a majestic and gorgeous castle that looked like a fairy tale. The castle was surrounded by a high defensive wall, and the buildings inside were towering circular towers, pointed sentry towers, Watchtowers, shooting bunkers, and so on. As for the main building, there were groups of buildings with vaults of various shapes, columns carved with complicated patterns, balconies that stretched in different directions, and domed pavilions covered with green vines, and so on.

Connecting the castle and the lake shore was a road that had been built. The road could accommodate three carriages side by side, and the road was spacious and clean. It led straight to the castle gate, and to a certain extent, it also served to limit the direction of the enemy's attack. Now, carriages were driving into the castle along the road on the lake, and after passing through layers of defensive buildings, they arrived at a fountain square paved with cobblestones.

The people who got off the carriage were all dressed in luxurious and decent clothes, and even the position of their heads had been carefully decorated. As for the emblems that marked their identities on their clothes, it meant that most of these people were barons.

It was definitely a rare scene to see five or six Sir gather together, especially when they were summoned to this castle. This kind of scene was even rarer. On the tallest bell tower of the castle, the flag that was fluttering in the wind quietly slid down the last ray of light of dusk, and the unicorn on the flag with endless majesty finally leaped into the night.

In an empty room in the castle, the walls were lit with dim yellow lights, but the brightness of the electric lights was not enough. Thus, in the middle of the dome of the hall, there was a candlestick, with candles as thick as a child's arm. The candlelight made up for the lack of light, illuminating the hall, especially the conference table below.

On both sides of the rectangular table, the copper velvet cushioned chairs were already filled with people. After the barons met, they exchanged greetings with each other, and everyone seemed to be very courteous. However, among these people, there were two whose faces were gloomy.

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

"Good evening, gentlemen." The man was wearing a white shirt and a lace scarf. He wore a pair of black riding boots over a pair of linen breeches. There were still some beads of sweat on his forehead. It seemed that he had 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 and took a clean towel to wipe himself before sitting in the middle of the table. He was almost middle-aged, but he looked very young. She had delicate features and a gentle temperament. His meticulously groomed beard added a bit of majesty to him, and his pair of spirited eyes made him stand out among the group of barons.

He was the owner of the castle, Viscount Daniel of Strength. Although he called these barons friends, in reality, these barons were all under Viscount Daniel\'s command. In the noble class of the empire, the title of strength was placed in front of the title. Usually, it meant that the Sir\'s comprehensive strength had already met the requirements for promotion, but due to a lack of military merits or other reasons, he was temporarily unable to be promoted. Thus, the word strength would be added to the title to show the difference. This special title was just like its literal meaning. Such a viscount was often very powerful and much stronger than his peers.

Just like Viscount Daniel, his Unicorn Legion had a conventional formation of more than three thousand men. If the cannon fodder, logistics, and other related personnel were included, the number of troops would be as many as five thousand. With such an army, Daniel naturally had the qualifications to add the word strength to his title. Moreover, his own Origin Energy wasn\'t bad, and his Level 24 strength was almost at the threshold of the Earl. Because of this, the barons around his territory all chose to submit to him.

Viscount Daniel sat down and swept his eyes across the Sir. He smiled and said, "It looks like everyone is in a low mood. Isn\'t it just a defeat? My unicorn also lost a Knight squadron, so I don\'t have to frown like everyone else. Where you lose, just win back. What do you think? "

A Sir with a bauhinia flower and snake embroidered on his clothes snorted, "Lord Daniel, it\'s not as simple as losing this time. Sir Bia and I received a letter from Storm City at the same time. In the letter, the lord in charge of Storm City asked us to pay a ransom before he would release our two commanders. And … "

"And what?" The viscount sat up slightly and asked.

"And he asked us to compensate for this matter. The war reparations he listed are simply astronomical!" The baron slammed the table and said, "This is simply outrageous. Isn\'t it just a victory? Isn\'t it too arrogant?"

Daniel revealed a surprised expression, then smiled and said, "Looks like there\'s an interesting guy at the border. What\'s his name again?"

"My name is Allen, my lord."

"Allen? If there\'s a chance, I really want to see him. "Daniel changed into a comfortable posture and said," Looks like you\'ve kicked an iron plate this time. The ransom of the two commanders still has to be paid. After all, soldiers can be recruited, but people who can lead troops to war are not easy to find. As for the war reparations, I will give him a formal written warning in my personal name. If he still wants reparations, then I will give him a war. "

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

Allen suddenly sneezed.

Father Miro looked at him strangely, "Do you have a cold?"

He shook his head and said, "Go on. Where were we just talking?"

"Everything is ready. The renovation of the temple has been completed. We have our own church. All that\'s missing now is to pick a time to officially raise the flag. Through this period of exhibition, we have already had our first believers, including some officials. When the church officially opens, I will be able to recruit believers. "Speaking of excitement, the priest almost danced with joy.

Looking at his faker appearance, Allen found it hard to imagine what Father Miro, the Pope, would look like if Christianity grew stronger on this planet. He held back his laughter and nodded, "I\'ve already made an appointment with Roger to come to Storm City. I\'m expected to go to the heart of the empire next month. So the church has to open before I leave. Let\'s pick next Monday. You have time to prepare. "

"That\'s settled." Father Miro agreed.

Then, looking at Allen, Miro tried to ask, "Do you want to talk about your father today?"

"Huh?" Allen raised his head, but to the priest\'s surprise, he shook his head and said, "No, there are still a lot of things to do. Let\'s talk about that man later. I\'m going back. I still have some documents to read. "

He stood up and took his leave.

Father Miro watched him disappear into the night. After a while, he said, "This little fellow seems to have grown up."

This weekend, an army visited Storm City. It was the army of the Black Iron Castle. Hagrid arrived at Storm City with ten Black Cloud Knight and a hundred infantry. The army was taken to the barracks by Legg to rest and recuperate. As for Hagrid himself, he was received by Allen.

"What a rare guest, Guild Leader Hagrid. The last time we parted, I thought it would be a long time before I saw you again. "

In the study of the City Lord\'s Mansion, Allen and Hagrid sat on the sand. Hagrid smiled and said, "Ever since my long talk with Lord Allen, I often want to see him again." Helplessly, he was entangled in official business. Only recently did he hear that Storm City was besieged. "Although I know that such a small matter won\'t be difficult for Lord Allen, I still can\'t help but rush over to see what I can do to help."

"Thank you for your concern. How\'s the Black Iron Castle recently? "

"It\'s still the same, but Sir Sharon is unwilling to be lonely. He will probably try to expand in the next year or two."

Allen nodded and said, "Sir Sharon is ambitious, so he naturally won\'t be willing to condescend to a small border."

"Yes, what about Lord Allen?" Hagrid said, "I saw your workshop when I entered the city just now. How long has it been? Lord Allen\'s efficiency is really indescribable." I\'m glad Sir Sharon listened to my advice and didn\'t make an enemy of you. Otherwise, we would probably have quite a headache. "

Allen smiled faintly and said, "The resources in the border area are limited. The two of us are fighting over it. In the end, in the eyes of the true nobles of the empire, it\'s just a piece of dog bone. I\'m also glad that Black Iron Castle is not an enemy. This way, we can save time for war and use it to develop our own business. "

"Looks like Lord Allen is also preparing to leave the border."

"I have this intention."

The two of them probed each other again. After obtaining the information they wanted, Allen asked someone to take Hagrid down to rest and invite him to attend the opening ceremony of the church tomorrow. Hagrid readily agreed and did not ask what a church was. In his opinion, it should be similar to the temple.

After Hagrid left, Belmore knocked on the door and handed Allen a note. The note was from the border station. The information on it showed that the people of Black Iron Castle had already arrived at the border five days ago, and the people who had come were definitely not the only ones brought by Hagrid. However, after hearing that Storm City\'s predicament had been resolved, the Black Iron Castle army withdrew from the border. In the end, only Hagrid brought a hundred people to visit.

Allen smiled and crushed the note into powder. Naturally, the Black Iron Castle would not be a loyal ally. If Storm City had fallen that day, Allen was sure that the Black Iron Castle would not have come to rescue them. They would only have taken the opportunity to take a share of the spoils. This was expected, but this information gave Allen an idea and he decided to slightly modify the procedure for the opening of the church tomorrow.
