Ante was holding a silver spoon and stirring the hot tea in the cup. Hearing Edward's words, the hand holding the silver spoon trembled, causing ripples to appear in the tea, as if Ante's completely messed up mood.
He raised his head and said bitterly, "You even know this?"
"It's not difficult." Edward said indifferently. In fact, after Rackett sent troops to invade the unicorn territory, he sent Dark Blade to Dornhill City, where Rackett was. Dark Blade would report back every once in a while with the Iron-winged Vulture about everything that had happened in Mountain City. Therefore, a few days ago, Edward received news that Rackett had secretly sent an army. Counting the time, they should have arrived by now.
Edward leaned forward and whispered in Ante's ear, "My lord, I don't know how Lance explained the purpose of this army to you. But in my opinion, an army of fifty Blood Wolf Knight and two hundred Blue Wolf Infantry can cause serious damage to a Sir's territory. If we don't do anything to them … "
Ante cried out, "Impossible. Lance said that this army will be mixed with our Unicorn Legion to strengthen our army. Their command is mine!"
"How likely do you think it is?" Edward continued to knock. He could already hear the youth's heart wavering. So he added to the fire, "If I were Lance, I could mix the army into the Unicorn Legion and replace it. When the territory army falls into the pocket, I think it probably doesn't matter who the owner of the territory is anymore. "
Ante's confidence finally collapsed. He forced himself to remain calm and raised his head to the butler. "Tell Daron that I want him to seal off the castle. No one is allowed to enter or leave until I have a new order!"
After a pause, he added, "Send two more men to serve Mr. Lance."
The butler read the meaning of his words and nodded.
Ante turned around and said, "The tea is cold. Sir Edward, why don't you practice swordsmanship with me again?"
Edward stood up gracefully. Ante didn't hand Lance over immediately because he was still watching. Edward knew this very well. If he didn't completely defeat Rackett's army, Ante would still be holding onto those illusory hopes.
So, let me be the bad guy. It's necessary to let this young man see the cruelty of reality. Edward thought, then picked up a long sword from the ground and made a starting gesture. "Please enlighten me."
A group of people advanced along the steep mountain path of Mount Lyon. On the left side of the path was a towering cliff, and on the other side was a cliff. From here, they could overlook the Red Sun Forest. The large expanse of Blood Crying Maple Trees covered the ground, and from afar, it looked like a sea of blood.
Glenn took a deep breath and retracted his gaze from the ominous crimson color of the Red Sun Forest and landed on the path of the passageway again. The narrow path between the Lyons Mountains, which could only accommodate two riders side by side, led directly to the border post of the Unicorn Territory. At this speed, they would be able to reach the post in about an hour. Glenn spat on his horse and said hatefully, "Why didn't you call Hilo over for this kind of job? You actually transferred me to such a rural place. What the hell?"
As the deputy commander of the Knight Legion, Glenn, who possessed a strength of Level 18, could be considered a top figure in Dornhill City. But this time, there was clearly a hint of political exile. According to Rackett, the army that Glenn had brought with him would be mixed into the Unicorn Legion, and Glenn would eventually replace the current Commander, Daron. At that time, Glenn would receive the treatment of the Guild Leader. However, the location of the post was not Dornhill City, but the Unicorn Territory, so the weight of this Guild Leader was very different.
Glenn had a bad temper and was not popular. Originally, there were others who could do such a mission, and no matter what, he still had a certain amount of weight in the Knight Guild with his Level 18 strength. However, Rackett was persuaded to send a dignified deputy commander of the Earl's territory to such a place. It was indeed a bit like exile.
"When I get back, I'll make those people look good." He thought hatefully.
In his terrible mood, the unicorn border sentry post was gradually in sight, and he could vaguely see the flags fluttering on the sentry post. Glenn snorted, his legs clamped on the horse's belly, and he quickened his pace. At this moment, in the wooden hut of the sentry post, several sentries of the Unicorn Legion were tied together. Their uniforms and armor were taken off, and they were only wearing thin clothes and trousers. Fortunately, the fireplace beside him was burning brightly, and the temperature in the room was not too low.
"You can't do this, I'm …" The current team tried their best to protest, but a towel was stuffed into his mouth, and his protest could only turn into a whimper.
Broyle frowned as he looked at his uniform, which was obviously too small, and his armor, which did not fit at all. He sighed as the soldier beside him laughed bitterly, "Isn't there any bigger clothes and armor?"
A soldier replied, "My lord, this is already the largest size. You can make do with it. "
Broy said hatefully, "It's all that Edward. He can just call Woody over. Why did he send me out? I want to change into the ridiculous clothes of these sentries … "
The captain beside him spat out the towel and shouted, "You are violating the laws of the unicorn territory. In the name of the respected Viscount Ante, I … ah."
Broy simply slapped him unconscious to save him from shouting. At this moment, a soldier pushed open the door and came in. "Sir, the enemy has been found. It's twenty minutes away from the sentry post. "
"Got it. Tell the others to get ready. Let's welcome these guests properly." Broy raised the Hammer of Forbidden Extinction and revealed a sinister smile. However, he was wearing short and narrow clothes now, so not only was this smile not frightening, it was instead making people laugh.
A few low laughs sounded from the wooden house at the sentry post.
Broy strode out of the wooden house with his warhammer in hand. A few soldiers in the room rubbed their heads and followed him out with bitter expressions. Broy shouted, "Don't stand there foolishly. Go and set up the barricade. Now that we are soldiers of the Unicorn Legion, we can't let others swagger into the territory. That, in the name of Viscount Ante. "
He seemed to be doing a decent job of it.
After receiving the information, Edward made a few arrangements. One of them was for Broy to bring an army to the sentry post to welcome Rackett's men. According to Edward's instructions, Broy and a dozen soldiers arrived at the sentry post ahead of time and replaced the original sentries. As for the other troops, they were lying in ambush elsewhere in the passageway. They had to make Rackett's army suffer heavy losses.
