"Damn it, where did these guys go?" Wook wanted to shout, but his heart suddenly skipped a beat and he looked towards the corridor.
There stood a tall young man.
"Mr. Captain, please come with me," Welik said in a deep voice.
"Where are my people?" Wook's expression darkened as he touched the sword at his waist.
"They're fine. They're just temporarily restricting their activities."
"In other words, you also want to restrict my activities. Do you know what that means? We are Earl Oban's direct Knight! "
"That's why I asked you to leave for a while. Otherwise, it won't be so cheap. " Welik raised his head and said, "Come with me, Mr. Captain. We don't want any unnecessary conflict."
Wook's hand on the sword repeatedly clenched and loosened. After a few times, he sighed and completely let go of his hand. He silently walked towards Welik.
In the room, Glar felt that Captain Knight had left for too long. Bursts of laughter rang out from outside. These laughter were like slaps on his face, causing him to feel his face burn. Glar couldn't help but push open the door and leave. There was no one in the corridor outside. The viscount cursed and swaggered out of the residence.
Outside the street, a group of soldiers lined up, leaving an open space. Allen and Tomen stood in front of him. Tomen's expression was serious, while Allen smiled faintly, making Glar feel a little guilty. The viscount took a deep breath and shouted, "Baron Allen, what do you mean? 'Are you insulting a viscount?' I want to protest to the count. You must pay the price for your actions! "
After a loud roar, Glar felt that he was much more confident. Yes, he was a viscount, a noble viscount. In the ranks of nobility, Allen could only look up to his light. When could he climb up to his head and flaunt his might?
Allen shook his head and laughed, "Glar, you don't understand the situation yet." Where is this? Let me tell you, this is not your viscount's territory. Your will and voice cannot pass through here. This is my city, the front line of the war zone. I call the shots here, so either you spit out what you took from me. Otherwise, I'll break your legs and throw you out! "
"You dare?" Glar screamed.
Allen gestured, and the two soldiers immediately stepped out and looked at Grar coldly.
Glar was shocked. He didn't expect Allen to actually make a move. At this time, he couldn't care less and quickly revealed his trump card. Glar took out a piece of paper from his bosom and raised it. "Who said Sunset City is your city? Now, this city is under my control! Here is Earl Oban's authorization. Take a good look yourself, Baron! "
Allen frowned and took the document from Glar. When he opened it, it was indeed a letter of authorization from Ark Harbor. It clearly stated that the management of Sunset City had been handed over to Grar. The inscription was Ou Ban\'s signature and seal. Grar didn\'t have the guts to forge it. In addition, that person was directly under Ou Ban\'s cavalry, so it was obvious that this document was real.
Tuomen glanced at it and his breathing became a little hurried. He wanted to say something, but Allen raised his hand and signaled him not to speak for the time being.
Looking at Glar again, the viscount became proud. "Well, I didn\'t lie to you, did I? This is the Count\'s handwritten document. Sir Allen, you don\'t want to disobey, do you? "
"This is different from the agreement between me and the count," Allen said. "We agreed that the territory I attacked would be managed by me."
"Indeed, but the Count believes that your potential is limitless. A mere Sunset City will not be your end. It is foreseeable that your territory will be even more. Your energy is limited, and you shouldn\'t be able to take care of so many territories, so I\'ll take care of Sunset City for you. Anyway, it\'s the Count\'s territory, so you won\'t lose anything. "
"Is that the count\'s original words?"
"More or less." Glar added, "As long as you sign it, the supplies that I have temporarily detained will naturally be given to you. The count still has high hopes for you."
His complacent appearance, as well as his obvious act of overthrowing Allen\'s power, made the surrounding soldiers angry. However, without Allen\'s orders, they didn\'t dare to act on their own. They could only stare at Grar with fierce gazes.
Allen nodded and said, "I want to read this document carefully. Well, I will give you an answer by tomorrow at the latest."
With a wave of his hand, Allen left with Tomen and the soldiers. After they left, Zork and the two cavalry regained their freedom and returned to Glar\'s side. Naturally, they couldn\'t help but be criticized.
It was night, in the meeting room of the City Lord\'s Mansion. Allen handed the authorization document to Tomen and William. Tomen chose to remain silent after reading it, while William angrily punched the table, "Young Master, it must be that Glar\'s doing. Let me break his dog legs and throw them outside to feed the wolves! "
Allen shook his head and said, "The documents are real, and so are the signatures and seals. In other words, all of this is Earl Oban\'s decision. "
Tuomen said in a low voice, "It seems that Earl Oban\'s trust in you is still somewhat reserved."
"After all, I\'m not his original team." Allen said calmly.
Tuomen looked at him and said, "Then what are you going to do, my lord?"
"If you don\'t sign, it would be equivalent to betraying the count. The army in the Emerald Mountain Range should have arrived at Sunset City. If you sign it, then this city will have to be handed over. No one will be willing to do so. "Allen crossed his arms and lowered his head to ponder. A moment later, he seemed to have made a decision, "Looks like I still have to sign this name."
Welik\'s chest rose and fell, "Could it be that we\'re just going to give Sunset City to that villain?"
Tuomen\'s eyes dimmed.
"Of course I can\'t let it go so easily." Allen smiled and looked at Tuomen. "Baron Tuomen, do you believe me?"
Tuomen\'s eyes moved slightly as he raised his head and said, "My lord, if you have something to say, just say it."
"I plan to leave Sunset City to Grar, but I want to take the army, supplies, and equipment with me. In short, it was to leave a mess for Grar. In doing so, I will drain the power of Sunset City. With all my strength, I will first take the Hungry Wolf Territory, and then take Dawn Castle. After these two territories fall into my pocket, half of Daniel\'s territory is in my pocket. At that time, I will take the opportunity to put pressure on the count to give Sunset City back to me. But before that, Sir Tuomen can only be wronged. "
Tuomen nodded heavily, "This is indeed a way. I was thinking that if my lord completely gave up on this city, then I might as well contact Viscount Daniel again. Even though he would be severely punished for this, it was still better than looking at the face of that despicable person. Since my lord has such a plan, then let me accompany him for a while. "
From losing the duel to repelling the Alliance Army, to now confiding in him. It was only at this moment that Allen used his series of actions to truly win Tuomen\'s loyalty.
After a period of secret discussion, Tuomen left and went to make preparations overnight. There were a lot of things to do. From the preparation of supplies to the mobilization of troops, it would take time, and the movements could not be too big. Everyone and everything had to be sent out of the city in batches to avoid arousing Grar\'s vigilance. Afterwards, he discovered that Sunset City was like this, and Grar had no proof, so he couldn\'t do anything to Allen and Tuomen. If he was discovered during this period, he would be able to make a big deal out of it. At the very least, he couldn\'t escape the charge of misappropriating public property.
In the next few days, Glar found that Allen\'s attitude had changed drastically. Every day, he treated him with good food and drink, which satisfied Glar\'s vanity. He thought that Baron Allen had finally understood. However, Allen had delayed signing the authorization letter. Every time he asked, he would always say, "No hurry." After four or five days, Glar began to panic. On this day, he asked Zork to bring ten Knight s to the City Lord\'s Mansion with great fanfare to force Allen to sign the authorization letter.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the study, Allen rushed to say, "Viscount Grayer, you came at the right time. I have signed this document. Please take a look. "
Such a huge contrast caused Grar to be unable to react for a moment. He was stunned for a moment before he knew how to take the document. Sure enough, there was Allen\'s signature and seal on it, and a large stone was finally put down. "Then, when does Sir Allen plan to go out and continue to seize more territory for the Count?" said Glar, trying to squeeze out a smile on his face.
"I\'ll leave immediately."
"Right away?" Glar thought that he had heard wrongly. When did that tough kid become so easy to talk to?
Patting Glar on the shoulder, Allen said, "Then I\'ll leave Sunset City to you. I believe that under the management of the Viscount, the city will be even more prosperous."
"Of course … of course."
By the time Grar regained his senses, Allen had already left the study. A moment later, he saw him leave the city with an army. Judging from the lineup of the army, there were only about three hundred people. Seeing them leave, Grar heaved a sigh of relief. Even Captain Wook, who was behind him, had a much more relaxed expression. At least the transfer of power had gone smoothly and avoided the worst outcome.
However, Grar was not happy for long. The next day, when he ordered his men to open the warehouse and saw the few boxes, the viscount\'s expression changed. "What exactly is going on? Why is there only so little? "
Tuomen said with a bitter expression, "Viscount, not long ago, Lord Allen took out most of his supplies to encourage the soldiers in order to repel the enemy. If not for that, the battle wouldn\'t have gone so smoothly. But don\'t worry, with the output of our city, you will be able to see a warehouse full of things in less than three years. "
"Three years?" Grar simply wanted to faint. This time, he used all the Sir s to jointly propose to Ou Ban that he, the viscount, replace Allen in managing Sunset City. Firstly, it was to prevent Allen\'s power from expanding too quickly, which was also what Central Ou Ban wanted, so that Grar could smoothly obtain the authorization document. Secondly, Grar also wanted to take this opportunity to receive the wealth of Sunset City.
But now, even the most important warehouse of supplies had been emptied. It could be imagined that the wealth and power of this city had also been hollowed out. Grar wasn\'t stupid. Combined with Allen\'s attitude and actions a few days ago, he roughly guessed that this was all Allen\'s doing. However, he knew that he didn\'t have any substantial evidence, so he couldn\'t accuse Allen. Moreover, Tuomen had also said that they had invested a lot of resources to mobilize before the war. No one had counted the reserves before the war and estimated the wealth of Sunset City. After the war, who knew how much they had invested? Even if they went to Ou Ban, at most, Allen would only end up being accused of investing too much.
To a Sir who controlled an army and possessed powerful martial strength, this was simply a trivial crime.
Glar was so angry that his teeth itched. In his heart, Allen had risen from a barbarian to a shameless thief. Not only had Allen stolen his "wealth", he had also left him with a mess. At least until Sunset City\'s output filled the warehouse, Grar still had to fulfill the responsibility of a manager. This was different from what he had imagined when he came!
An army of 800 men was advancing through the forest, and Allen had plundered almost all of Sunset City\'s combat power. Including soldiers and slaves, as long as they had a little bit of combat power, he would take them away. Apart from that, there was also a large amount of food, equipment, and other supplies. These supplies were enough for an army of more than a thousand people to eat for more than a month.
The team advanced in the direction of the Hungry Wolf Leader. Duruf was a true expert. However, he was not a good lord, let alone a suitable manager. His territory was the smallest of all Daniel\'s subordinates, and it was also the poorest. Even Sunset City couldn\'t compare. Sir Hungry Wolf\'s territory didn\'t have any strategic resources. There weren\'t even many wild beasts in that thin land, so the people could only grow some crops and barely survive.
However, Duruf also imposed a series of exorbitant taxes and tried every means to extract wealth from the hands of the people. Sometimes, even Daniel didn\'t like it. So when the army entered the Hungry Wolf Territory, Allen had already seen two abandoned villages. That was because the citizens couldn\'t stand Duruf\'s oppressive rule and escaped from the territory. Today, there were only two large villages in this barren Sir territory and the city where Sir lived, Fenrir.
In the past two days, the guards of Fenrir City had discovered that people were constantly leaving their villages and fleeing to the city. From the people\'s mouths, Fenrir City learned that an army had entered this territory. Wherever they passed, they would sweep through the villages that still had people living in them, forcing the people to flee to Fenrir City in desperation to seek refuge. Although Fenrir City was the city where the baron lived, there were dilapidated houses, dirty canals, and damaged but unrepaired statues everywhere in the city. Only the City Lord\'s mansion seemed to be better. Duruf still cherished his face. At the very least, he had built a beautiful place to live, so that he could be worthy of his identity as a Sir.
