With the start of the attack, the Blue Tiger Coalition Army collapsed almost instantly.
A large number of disorganized soldiers scattered in all directions, abandoning their weapons and armor. Although Viscount Garcia was extremely angry, he still had to order his subordinates to coordinate the attack and eliminate all the scattered soldiers.
But after the order was given, his expression darkened, as if a storm was about to come.
Although they were both under the Red Lion Flag, he deeply felt the estrangement from the opposite side.
Garcia, who had become a Viscount after coming to the Wind Firefly Plains, was actually a branch of the Highland Majestic Family. His personal and family interests were slightly different.
For Viscount Garcia, he was not strong enough, so he naturally had to hold the Earl of Blue Mountain in his hands. On one hand, he could divide and rope in the Blue Blood Nobles, and on the other hand, borrow their strength to fight for the greatest power in the Wind Firefly Plains.
But the Highland Majestic Family did not need to do this!
It had enough knights, vassal nobles, and a large number of soldiers to rule the entire Wind Firefly Plains!
Thus, the Earl of Blue Mountain's role was immediately reduced.
There was only so much fertile land, and most of it was the fief of the Blue Blood Nobles. To make them spit it out, the only way was to eliminate them with iron and blood!
The Earl of Blue Mountain was just the beginning. What followed was definitely a massacre and conquest of the entire Wind Firefly Plains!
'The Wind Firefly Plains belongs to me! Mine!!! '
Garcia clenched his fists, his nails digging into his flesh, drawing blood.
Unfortunately, no matter how much he roared in his heart, he could not change this reality.
From the moment the family sent out their troops, the entire situation in the Wind Firefly Plains had already started to slip out of his control, sliding into an unknown abyss …
…
Giant Wood Town.
This was a small town located between the battlefield and Howling Castle. It was originally just a small village with a large river and dense forest beside it. It belonged to a baron.
This baron was a rare shrewd person. He opened up a few huge lumberyards around the village, cutting down the thick and heavy wood from deep in the mountains. After some simple processing, he used the river water to transport them to other places to sell, quickly earning a large amount of Gold Delong.
The number of lumberjacks increased, and they settled down in the village. The place also gradually expanded, becoming a town.
However, at this time, the doors and windows of every household in the small town were tightly shut. They looked at the army that had arrived with terrified eyes.
Although the other party was also carrying the banner of the Blue Tiger, their sharp swords, tall warhorses, and slightly dusty armor all made them feel great fear.
"Esteemed Masters! I'm Old Bill, the mayor of Jumbo Town! "
Inside the town hall, Wu Ming and a few other nobles occupied the best room. The attendants spread out the tablecloths and served roast chicken and wine.
A white-haired, well-dressed old man was brought over. He spoke in a humble and respectful tone as he saluted the old man.
"Giant Wood Town?!"
Baron Terry raised his head and elegantly held the glass, using the rich wine inside to numb himself. There was a slight blush on his face. "This is Baron Shortley's fief, right? I remember him, a very humorous and witty fellow! "
"That's right!"
Old Bill proudly raised his chest, but soon after, he heard a piece of news that caused him to be inconsolable.
"It's a pity … Shortley was still surrounded in the end, may the gods bless him!"
Sir Terry made a prayerful gesture with his hand.
"Surrounded? Don't tell me … they were defeated? "
Cold sweat flowed down Old Bill's forehead. He knew what his lord had gone out to do. He had also transferred many young and strong lads from the town. If they were all destroyed … how would he explain to the angry and sorrowful townspeople?
"Alright, as you can see, we will be resting in Jumbo Town for the night!"
At this time, a young noble sitting in the middle spoke.
His voice was gentle and he was handsome, but Old Bill could tell that he was the leader of this group of nobles.
"I need you to prepare food and clean water for us, and let the townspeople vacate their houses for the warriors to rest! Also, feed our warhorses good fodder, soybeans, and add eggs! "
Wu Ming said slowly. "Of course, we will pay for this!"
He casually threw out a bag. The heavy weight inside made Old Bill immediately know that it contained a lot of Gold Delong.
"Alright, Old Bill will prepare immediately!"
He agreed without hesitation.
After all, the other party was a thousand soldiers armed to the teeth!
Facing such a large army, even if the other party did not give them a single cent, they would still have to obediently submit and take whatever they wanted. In comparison, this group of nobles was still very reasonable.
After he left, Baron Wilford let out a long sigh.
He was a middle-aged man in his fifties, but now he looked like he had a head full of white hair. It was as if he had aged several times in an instant. "The Blue Tiger Coalition Army is finished!"
"What should we do? Return to the fief? "
Baron Terry held his head, but he knew that this was the worst thing to do.
Holing up in his own castle would naturally be safe for a while, but when the red flames burned the entire Wind Firefly Plains, where would he be able to retreat?
"Sir Baron William, what do you think?"
Tana stretched her body. She was the most relaxed one among all of them.
After all, no fief, no family business, it meant that she could leave at any time. Although it was a pity that she was a lord, but compared to her life, this woman always knew how to choose.
Not leaving now was only because she saw a bigger opportunity.
"I think we can rest here for a while, and ask for news about the Count!"
Wu Ming put his hands on the table, fingers crossed, and said slowly.
At the mention of this, the nobles present looked a little unnatural. Although the situation was urgent, leaving their lord and running away alone was still something the nobles despised.
But at this time, the nobles who were still loyal to the Count of Blue Mountain were probably all wiped out, and not many of them would say anything.
"Sir!"
At this moment, the door opened, and Knight Jack walked in, bowing to Wu Ming. "Our rangers found another group of people, and their leader calls himself Viscount Barr!"
"Oh?"
Wu Ming stood up. "Everyone … let's go welcome them together!"
At the entrance of the town, they immediately saw Viscount Barr.
Regarding this resolute middle-aged man, Wu Ming's impression stopped at the warning he gave last night.
At this moment, the other party looked a little disheveled, with hundreds of people scattered behind him. Obviously, they had suffered a lot in the breakout.
"Baron Terry, Baron Wilford … and Baron William!"
Viscount Barr's eyes looked around. "It's great to see you all here. I have bad news!"
He said in a heavy tone, "The Count of Blue Mountain … has died in battle!"
"What?"
Terry and Wilford blurted out in shock.
Viscount Barr looked sorrowful and nodded. "My rangers saw it very clearly. He said that the Highland Knights did not give the Count any chance, and carried out a shameless siege. Our Count fought bravely until the last moment, until his head was chopped off!"
The sorrow on his face was not fake, and there was an obvious sense of panic.
Wu Ming knew what he was afraid of.
For the Highland Knights, to obtain the entire Wind Firefly Plains, they had to take the land from the hands of the Blue Bloods.
As the resistance camp, the Count of Blue Mountain and Viscount Barr undoubtedly occupied the largest share of the land. Under the premise that they had already accepted a Viscount, the possibility of accepting another Viscount was very small. After all, this represented a division of the original interests! The knights and nobles below them would not agree either.
On the contrary, Knights and Lords like Wu Ming and Tana might have a chance to be recruited if they sincerely pledged their allegiance to them.
In ancient times, there was an allusion that all officials could surrender, but not the monarch. It was the same in the other world.
"Blood brothers …"
Viscount Barr's eyes turned to Baron Terry and Baron Wilford, and then immediately looked at Wu Ming. "The glory of the Blue Bloods has reached the most dangerous moment! If we can't drive these greedy lions out of the plains, our fiefs will be taken, our wealth will be plundered, and our lives, wives, and daughters will be taken away! Don't have any illusions about the enemy, this is a battle of life and death! "
He took a deep breath. "I want to return to my fief immediately and gather all the troops! And all the Blue Bloods, we must unite and do our best! "
As one of the three core members of the Blue Bloods, with the Viscount of Eagle Castle betraying and the Count of Blue Mountain dead, Viscount Barr would undoubtedly be the candidate for the leader of the alliance.
"But … Lord Viscount, we don't have time …"
Baron Terry murmured, "The enemy has five thousand people, maybe more, and there are endless reinforcements from the Highlands and Eagle Castle! They have also occupied Howl Castle … "
His mouth was full of bitterness. "But most of our elites have been defeated, and only a few are left!"
"What else can we do? Surrender? "
Viscount Barr's face flashed with anger. "Let them give you what happened to the Count of Blue Mountain, or put you under house arrest for life?"
Baron Terry shuddered at the thought of this horrible ending.
"Baron Terry is right about one thing!"
Baron Wilford muttered. "We don't have much time left, we must take back Howl Castle as soon as possible!"
Viscount Barr frowned, feeling very troubled.
These small nobles had obviously formed a group of interests, and they had hundreds of cavalry and nearly a thousand soldiers. They were the last elites of the Blue Bloods.
If he couldn't convince them, his plan would definitely be difficult to carry out.
He fixed his eyes on Wu Ming, keenly sensing the true leader of this group.
Woo woo!
At this moment, a loud and clear horn sound came from outside, causing the whole town to be in an uproar.
"An army is coming! There are thousands of them! "
Viscount Barr's cavalry hurriedly reported. "They are flying the banner of Lord Carlos!"
Hearing this, the originally panicked nobles looked at Wu Ming with bewildered eyes, their faces full of horror.
