Alfalfa City's North District, City Lord's Mansion.
The candlelight on the table was swaying in the night wind, just like City Lord Ron Lute's restless mood.
The commotion on the other side had already woken Ron up, but he didn't know what was going on over there and didn't dare to make any moves for fear of attracting trouble.
* Thump Thump Thump *
Amid the sound of footsteps, Jason Lu Te ran in while panting. He couldn't suppress the joy on his face as he shouted, "You're right.
"Father! The Pegasus Navy is fighting among themselves! "
Ron stared at him and asked anxiously: "What do you mean by fighting among themselves?"
"Anyway, their warships are fighting among themselves. A large number of warships have been burned to ashes by those terrible green flames!
Moreover, the people I sent to the other side reported that the Alfalfa Brotherhood is also looting a burning house. It's already a mess over there! "
Looking at his son who was gloating, Ron calmed down and asked doubtfully: "How could this be? Why did the Pegasus Navy have internal strife? Why did the Alfalfa Brotherhood betray the Eastern Region? "
Jason scratched his head and said hesitantly: "Could this be Earl Angele's plan?"
Ron frowned even more: "Then why didn't we get any information?"
Jason didn't speak.
This was an awkward topic.
If it was really Earl Angele's plan, then the Lute Family, who was nearby and also the City Lord of Alfalfa City, didn't get any information. This was really embarrassing.
The room was silent for a long time. Jason couldn't help but break the silence and suggested: "Father, why don't we also send people to the other side? Maybe we can even get a share of the credit … "
Ron rolled his eyes and interrupted angrily, "Who should we send? You? "
Jason shrunk his head and didn't dare to speak.
Ron glared at his son in disappointment, but he didn't make things difficult for him.
He knew very well that with the Lute Family's current strength, if he really sent his son to the other side, it would be sending him to his death.
But if he really didn't do anything and let this wonderful opportunity to make the Lute Family rise again slip away, he was very unwilling.
Looking at the opposite shore where the flames soared into the sky, Ron hesitated for a long time before finally making up his mind. He turned around and asked, "How many warships can we take out now?"
"Five." Thinking about the configuration of the Pegasus Navy, Jason said guiltily, "Also, they are all small boats with a displacement of less than a hundred tons …"
Ron paced back and forth in the hall anxiously. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "It's fine! The Pegasus Navy is too busy to take care of themselves right now, so they might not guard against us. "
Jason said hesitantly, "Father, but with our family's private army, even if we cross the Nushui River, we won't be able to gain a foothold on the other side …"
"No! Of course, we don't want to occupy the opposite shore. "
"Then what is our goal?"
"Earl Of Avon!" Ron said in a deep voice. "I know that the Earl Of Avon is on the other side of the river. As long as we catch him in the chaos, there will be hope for the revival of the Lute family!"
Jason's eyes also lit up. He seemed to think that this proposal was quite feasible. But just as he was about to agree, he suddenly felt an earthquake-like tremor.
At first, he didn't care about it. He thought it was an explosion on the other side of the river. But this tremor was not explosive. It was continuous and getting stronger and stronger, as if thousands of wild beasts were rushing into Alfalfa City.
"Father … Father …" Jason was obviously frightened.
Ron didn't panic. Instead, he was somewhat relieved. But there was some regret. He said, "It's the cavalry. It should be the Blood Cavalry entering the city. "
"Blood Cavalry? Count Angele? "Jason finally realized what was going on.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the butler hurriedly running into the room and reporting, "Master, the Blood Cavalry is entering the city!"
"Quick! Line up and greet them! "
As he said, Ron rushed out.
Jason also hurriedly followed.
When the father and son walked out of the mansion, they saw a long fire dragon appearing at the end of the street.
Soon, a group of cavalrymen holding torches approached the City Lord's Mansion.
Ron straightened his collar and wanted to ask, but he found that the other party didn't mean to slow down at all. They still flew past the mansion like lightning.
The wind and waves brought by the wind blew Ron's well-groomed hair.
Just when he was embarrassed, a Blood Cavalry officer finally stopped in front of the mayor's mansion and asked, "Are you Lord Ron?"
"Yes, General!" Ron hurriedly responded, "Where is the Earl?"
The officer didn't answer Ron's question. Instead, he said lightly, "The Blood Cavalry is going to cross the river in Alfalfa City. I'm here to inform you."
Ron saw that the other party was unwilling to reveal the whereabouts of Earl Angele. He was annoyed, but he didn't dare to show it. He could only keep nodding and said, "Okay, okay! Is there anything I can do to help? "
The officer glanced at Ron expressionlessly and said, "Just gather as many ships as possible."
"Okay!"

On the Nu Shui River.
Earl Hall stared at the fire that was gradually extinguishing not far away. His face was solemn and dignified.
The heavy battleships of the House of Saint Prospero had all turned to ashes in the terrible [Wildfire], and the rest of the light battleships were mostly buried under the water. Although the remaining battleships were still wandering around like flies, they could no longer change the situation of the battle.
In this battle, the Hall family had won a decisive victory!
From today on, the Hall family had the final say on the Nu Shui River.
But even so, Earl Hall didn't have much joy of victory in his heart.
The footsteps behind him interrupted Earl Hall's contemplation. He thought it was Marquis Vincent, so he quickly turned around and was about to greet him. But after seeing the face of the person, he suddenly froze on the spot.
"Earl … Earl Angele?"
"Earl Hall, your fleet has truly broadened my horizons!"
Looking at the smiling Colin, Earl Hall snapped back to his senses and hurriedly bowed. "Your Lordship, you flatter me!"
Although he was somewhat puzzled as to how Colin had boarded the ship, Earl Hall didn't ask this question.
He secretly guessed that this young Earl of the Northern Frontier had probably been on the ship last night, hiding in the shadows to monitor his every word and action.
If he showed the slightest hesitation or weakness, the other party would probably join forces with Marquis Vincent to overpower him and personally command the Hall family's fleet.
Colin looked at Earl Hall, who had a complicated expression, and thought that he was worried about the family members left behind in White Dew City, so he comforted him.
"Don't worry. As long as your fleet sends the Blood Cavalry across the Nu Shui River, I guarantee that your family won't suffer any harm!"
Earl Hall immediately thought of the condition that Marquis Vincent had told him about in the Northern Frontier — a change of duke in the Eastern Region.
For a moment, the old earl's emotions were extremely complicated.
But he also understood that it was impossible for him to retreat.
"Yes, Your Lordship! The Hall family's fleet is very happy to serve you! "
