As Jordak himself said, he was an ambitious man. At the same time, he also had eyes. The grudge between Daniel and Ou Ban dated back more than a decade, and over the years, Ou Ban's Earl Territory had been repeatedly occupied and redeemed. Ou Ban had endured Daniel's harassment due to the lack of experts and troops. If it weren't for the fact that the Ridley family had a lot of savings, Ou Ban would have told Daniel to eat it long ago.
To Daniel, Ou Ban was like a convenient ATM. In order to maintain the Earl's face and dignity, Ou Ban would always pay enough ransom to maintain the integrity of his territory.
It wasn't until Allen's sudden emergence that Daniel finally kicked an iron plate. Ever since Allen killed Duruf, Jordak had begun to pay attention to the baron from the border. That's right, Allen's current strength was still very weak. He needed to rely on Ou Ban in order to carry out some activities. However, judging from Allen's actions, Daniel was keenly aware of Allen's ambition.
If Allen was only satisfied with Ou Ban, then he was fully qualified to win a seat under Ou Ban's banner after repelling Duruf, and his position would not be too low. However, after he repelled Duruf, he quickly organized an attack on Sunset City. Now, he had even defeated Dawn Castle and repelled the Bauhinia. His battle record had already given the other Sir in the viscount's territory a headache.
Before this, he had even rejected Daniel's invitation. If he accepted the invitation, he could imagine that he would get more than Ou Ban could give him.
Putting all of these things together, Jordak finally came to a conclusion. This Sir Allen was far more ambitious than anyone could imagine. If it weren't for that grand scheme, how could he refuse the benefits in front of him?
That was also the reason why Jordak chose Allen instead of Ou Ban.
Allen looked up and down at the baron's son and said, "With all due respect, I am honored to be valued so highly by Mr. Geordak." But that's not enough. To be honest, I'm already planning to march into Dawn Castle, and I'll occupy Duruf's territory as well. So you see, for a territory that will belong to me sooner or later, why should I go through all the trouble to support you? "
Jordak knew that if he didn't reveal his trump card, he would definitely be swept out of the door. He nodded and said, "If I were you, I would say the same thing. Yes, the Dawn Castle was empty now. Outside, the army has been routed by you, and we still have hundreds of surrendered soldiers in your hands. His father died in battle and his title became vacant. Not only are my brothers eyeing it covetously, even the other Sir wants to divide the profits. In such a situation where there are internal and external troubles, Dawn Castle cannot stop you at all. "
"But I want to remind Lord Allen that even so, Dawn Castle still has more than 10,000 citizens and more than 1,000 slaves. If they were really forced into a corner, even dogs would bite, let alone humans. Of course, this little bit of power isn't enough to stop Lord Allen, but when the time comes, all you'll get is a territory that has been emptied of power. If you support me, then after I become a baron and declare my loyalty to you, I can preserve the strength of the territory to the greatest extent. In comparison, I don't think Lord Allen will refuse my offer. "
Allen's eyes turned cold and pierced into Jordak's eyes like a sharp arrow. The latter's smile stiffened. He wanted to avoid it, but he forced himself to look at Allen. A moment later, Allen's sharp gaze turned gentle. "If your other brothers had the same eloquence, I would probably be worried. Well, Mr. Jordak, let's continue to talk about how to smoothly transition the power of Dawn Castle. "
They talked for a long time that day, and in the evening, Jordak said goodbye and left. Along with him were Regis and ten King Of Mountains warriors. Jordak would create some opportunities for his brothers to assassinate him. However, this was a trap. At that time, as long as the killer fell into his hands, it would be legal for him to take revenge on his brother in the name of righteousness.
With Regis as the sharpest sword, unless the baron's sons hid in Daniel's unicorn castle, there was no one else in the viscount's territory who could deal with Regis. After killing all the competitors, even if Daniel himself didn't want to, he couldn't stop Jordak from "legally" becoming the new owner of Dawn Castle.
For this reason, Jordak already had a detailed and thorough plan, and the relevant personnel had already been arranged properly. On Allen's side, he lent Regis and the King Of Mountains warriors to help him accomplish his mission. With an expert in charge, even if there were any objections, Jordak could wipe them out as quickly as possible.
The only problem was that Regis wasn't willing to carry out this kind of work. In contrast, perhaps Belmore was more suitable. However, the man had another mission, so it could only fall on the youth's head.
The next day, a team arrived at Sunset City. It was a team escorted by Viscount Grayer, which included food, equipment, and other supplies, as well as a group of slaves for Allen's use. This was the supplies sent by Ou Ban, and Allen naturally went out of the city to welcome him. From afar, he saw Glar sitting arrogantly on his horse. He did not dismount when he saw Allen. He only said arrogantly, "Sir Allen, you've worked hard. Earl Oban asked me to send you a batch of supplies. Can you have someone receive them? "
Grar's attitude was very unpleasant. William, who was following behind Allen, darkened his expression and snorted. Even the other soldiers had expressions of disgust on their faces. Allen's previous achievements had already won the respect of the soldiers. Now that he saw someone being so disrespectful to Allen, he naturally wouldn't have a good expression on his face.
The atmosphere in the hall became somewhat heavy.
Allen didn't say anything and just looked at Glar calmly. There were no ripples in those bright red pupils, like the calm surface of a lake, reflecting Glar's figure. Since Allen didn't say anything, naturally no one would accept this batch of supplies, so beads of sweat began to appear on Glar's forehead. In the end, his voice trembled as he said, "Sir Allen, what do you mean? Are you going to refuse the Count's kindness? "
"Don't use Earl Oban to suppress me. This is a battlefield. Anything can happen. I really admire you, Sir Glar. Here, the guys who dared to speak to me in such a condescending manner have now disappeared from this world. As a fellow robe, I will respect you, but that is only on the premise of equality. If you're going to play your territory tricks on me, you're probably in the wrong place. " Allen laughed, "I'll give you three seconds. If you don't get off the horse, I'll have to invite you down. Of course, you won't like that method. "
Hearing this, Glar's face turned pale. He looked at a Knight behind him, but the Knight had already dismounted. He was the captain of the cavalry. Since the captain had already dismounted, the cavalry would naturally not stay on the horse. After a while, all the cavalry dismounted, leaving only Grar still sitting on the horse. It was as dazzling as it was two eyes.
Glar didn't dare to be arrogant anymore. He hurriedly got down and pointed at Allen, "I will report this matter truthfully to Earl Oban."
"Whatever you want." Allen shrugged and gestured. Welik took the list of supplies from Captain Knight and ordered the soldiers to receive the team. Then Allen said, "Come with me, Sir Glar. You probably won't like this place, but since I'm here, I naturally have to do my best as a host. "
After arranging a place for Grar to rest, Allen returned to the City Lord's Mansion. Tuomen came to Allen with a list of supplies. "My lord, something's wrong."
"What's wrong?"
Tuomen waved the list in his hand and said, "I've already counted the goods and slaves. The number of goods is at least half less than what is marked on this list!"
Allen raised his head in surprise and said, "This Viscount has quite a big appetite. Even this little supply has to be deducted for me. I see, I'll take care of this matter. You can go ahead and busy yourself. "
In the residence that Allen had arranged, Glar was drinking a mouthful of red wine. Then he spat it out and shouted, "What is this? Low-quality alcohol? These are really country bumpkins."
Beside him, Captain Knight said, "Viscount, aren't we a little worried that we're clearly deducting half of the supplies and slaves?"
"What kind of method is this?"
"The Count has never given such an order."
"Hey, Captain Wook, you didn't object before. Why, now you're going back on your word. When you accepted my gift, you patted your chest and promised to support me. "Glar sneered.
Captain Knight smiled bitterly, thinking to himself, I didn't know what kind of person Sir Allen was before. Indeed, in the eyes of Captain Knight, those Sir were nothing more than rich masters like Grar. At the very least, they were all like this among Ou Ban's subordinates. However, when he saw Allen just now, Captain Knight knew that he was wrong. Allen was completely different from a Sir like Grar. When he remained silent just now, the terrifying pressure almost caused him to pull out his sword.
To make an abacus on such a character, the Knight Captain remembered what Allen had said before: You're really brave.
Glar withheld supplies to fill his pockets and to make things difficult for Allen. If it was any other Sir, Captain Knight would not have frowned. But now, he really regretted it.
At this moment, Allen's voice suddenly sounded from outside the residence, "Grar, get out of here. If you don't spit out the supplies the count gave me, I'll break your legs first and ask the count for an explanation."
Glar's face immediately flushed red. He didn't expect Allen to come so quickly and shout in the street, not giving him any face at all. He was so angry that he trembled. "This country bumpkin! This barbarian! "
Captain Knight sighed and knew that trouble was coming. He walked out of the door and wanted someone to bring the cavalry over. Out of consideration for the friendship between the two families, Earl Oban lent the cavalry to protect Grar. Now, it was time for them to fulfill their responsibilities.
However, when he walked out of the door, the captain discovered that the two cavalry that had been arranged here were nowhere to be seen!
