Count Brugan was stunned for a moment before he somewhat understood what the Earl Of Avon meant.
When he came back to his senses, he said in disbelief, "You mean, we don't have to care about the main force of the Blood Cavalry? Even if they can break through White Dew City? "
The Earl Of Avon smiled and pressed his hand down, indicating that Count Brugan didn't need to be so agitated. Then he patiently explained, "It's not that we don't care at all. We can send a letter to White Dew City to remind father to be careful of the Blood Cavalry that may arrive.
Although the Blood Cavalry is invincible in the field, they won't be able to easily take down White Dew City if we are prepared.
That's why I said that we don't have to worry about the main force of the Blood Cavalry.
Our real target should actually be Colin Angelo in Linshui City!
He used himself as bait to deceive our attention, but what if we can swallow this bait in one bite! "
After hearing the Earl Of Avon's words, Count Brugan also became excited and excitedly paced back and forth in the study.
He also realized that this was indeed an excellent opportunity.
Count Brugan certainly understood how important Colin Angelo was to the Northern Frontier.
The husband of the Duke Of St. Hilde, the guardian of the Northern Frontier, the commander of the Blood Cavalry. It could even be said that the order of the Northern Frontier was almost entirely maintained by Colin Angelo alone.
And the Half-Elven Kingdom, which was also Colin Angelo's back garden.
Once this person became a captive of the Eastern Region, the crisis facing the Eastern Region would immediately be resolved.
Count Brugan stopped and seemed to have made up his mind. He looked back at the Earl Of Avon with bright eyes and asked,
"What's your plan?"
The Earl Of Avon smiled confidently and said, "Since the main force of the Blood Cavalry has gone to attack White Dew City, Colin Angelo definitely won't have many Blood Cavalry around him.
However, he must be prepared to escape immediately if the situation is not right. The cavalry comes and goes like the wind. If he really wants to leave, it will be difficult to stop him.
Therefore, if we want to catch this person, the most important thing is not to act rashly and alert the enemy. We must block all his escape routes and then launch a fatal blow to keep him in the Eastern Region! "
Count Brugen came to the map again and looked at the position facing Waterside City. He frowned and said, "But Waterside City's position isn't deep enough. It's only two or three days away from Alfalfa City. It'll be difficult for the Fire Velvet Army to cut off their retreat …"
"No! The Fire Velvet Army must not be moved easily! " The Earl Of Avon immediately stopped him. "Father-in-law, the Fire Velvet Army is famous, the people of the Northern Frontier will definitely pay attention to it. As long as we show signs of leaving Fire Velvet City, Colin Angele will definitely know that his plan has been seen through. If he retreats immediately, we won't be able to catch up with him even if we want to."
"What do you think we should do then?"
"We need to gather all the lords around Linshui City and discuss a time to send troops together. Only by doing so can we form an airtight encirclement around Linshui City and trap Colin Angele within!"
Count Brugen's frown deepened. "It's not easy to get the surrounding lords to send troops together. They're not my vassals …"
"I'll personally write a letter to persuade them one by one!" The Earl Of Avon immediately said, his tone full of determination and confidence.
Count Brugen took a deep look at the Earl Of Avon and nodded. "Alright, then I'll wait for your good news."
The Earl Of Avon nodded and left the room swiftly without delay.
Count Brugen watched his back disappear outside the door and fell into deep thought.
"Father, do you think the Earl Of Avon will succeed?"
Suddenly, a cold and delicate female voice sounded in the study.
Immediately after, a young woman came out from behind the bookshelf with a book in her hands.
She was wearing a light green corset dress and her lustrous black hair was casually draped over her shoulders. She had a petite and exquisite figure, but her curves were graceful and well-coordinated. Her facial features were delicate but slightly tender. Coupled with her fair and moist skin, she was clearly a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl.
She was young and immature, but already had a budding feeling.
Count Brugen wasn't surprised by the appearance of the young lady. He only said in a helpless and doting tone,
"Grace, why are you reading in there without making a sound?"
Grace giggled and stretched her back. Her face was full of mischief. "I saw that Father and Evan were so engrossed in their conversation, so I didn't want to disturb you."
Count Brugen smiled mischievously and said, "Is that so? I thought you couldn't help but want to secretly observe your fiancé? "
A blush rose on Grace's fair and pretty face. She avoided her father's burning gaze and trotted to the chair behind the desk to sit down. She picked up the wax seal and played with it as she changed the topic.
"Father, you still haven't answered my question just now!"
"What question?"
Grace rolled her eyes adorably and had no choice but to repeat herself. "I asked you just now, do you think it's possible for the Earl Of Avon to persuade the surrounding feudal lords to send troops to besiege Colin Angele?"
Count Brugen smiled and said, "That would depend on what promises the Earl Of Avon can give them."
Grace's bright eyes turned and asked again, "What about you, Father? If the Earl Of Avon persuaded the surrounding feudal lords, would you mobilize the Flaming Velvet Army to help him besiege Colin Angele? "
This time, Count Brugen didn't answer immediately. Instead, he sat down opposite his daughter and asked with a smile, "If it were you, would you help him?"
"Of course I would!" The young girl pursed her lips and answered without hesitation. "You've already married your daughter to him. The Brugen Family can only live or die together with the Earl Of Avon."
Count Brugen laughed and said, "Why do I hear so much resentment in your words?"
Grace puffed up her cheeks and said angrily, "When the Duke of Saint Prospero sent a letter asking for a marriage alliance with us, I reminded you not to be in a hurry to take a side, but you didn't listen. Great, now there's no turning back!"
Count Brugen's face turned serious and he said seriously, "Grace, you don't understand. Sometimes, if you don't choose a side, it may seem like you can advance or retreat, but in fact, you won't be pleasing either side.
The Brugen Family controls the Flaming Velvet Army and the House of Saint Prospero won't allow us to have an ambiguous attitude. "
Grace was still unconvinced and pouted. "Anyway, I think you've made a bad move!"
Count Brugen was a little helpless. "You don't like Evan, do you?"
Grace nodded. "I originally thought he was a straightforward and interesting noble young master, but now it seems that he's just a cold-blooded politician who only thinks about benefits!"
"Why do you say that?"
Grace snorted and said, "Isn't it obvious? He knows that the target of the Northern Frontier is White Dew City, but he doesn't want to go back to rescue them. Instead, he's racking his brains to come up with a plan to encircle and annihilate Colin Angelo in Linshui City.
His reason is so dignified, but in fact, he just wants to use capturing Colin to wash away the shame of his defeat in Alfalfa City.
As for the safety of White Dew City, it's not even in his consideration!
Do you really want to entrust your daughter to such a cold-blooded and heartless person? "
Count Brugen sighed and said, "Evan has no choice but to do this. If he doesn't seize this opportunity to prove himself again, not only will his inheritance be in jeopardy, but even the Eastern Region will fall into chaos once again.
Our Brugen Family has already entered the game, we can only follow him down this path to the end!
Daughter, can you understand your father's painstaking efforts? "
Grace didn't answer this question. She just hugged the sheepskin book and silently left the study.
