Chapter 857
"Master Yi?"
Captain Gong's eyes lit up slightly when he heard this.
If it was the powerful wizard who turned the tide at the banquet, he would definitely be a strong help this time.
If a mage is not careful, it is not impossible for him to be counterattacked by a physical profession of the same level, especially if he has some equipment specifically designed to deal with shields.
Although there are not many cases of assassins counterattacking and assassinating mages with magic-breaking equipment, they are not too rare.
But in terms of group destructive power alone, the mage still has a very obvious advantage.
Before he could speak, Wang Yi said with a smile
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it now that I'm here."
Wang Yidu still has to follow the caravan back to Dunno City, so he naturally won't let anything happen here.
However, he also felt that since the players were here, it would be okay to let them experience the "baptism of war".
A war between rural nobles in a rural principality seemed just right...
…
Barony of Zak.
As the initiator of the alliance and with his own strength, Baron Zach undoubtedly became the temporary leader of the alliance.
However, the actual power in the hands of an alliance leader of this nature is definitely limited, and the private soldiers of each noble still only listen to themselves. To some extent, this is more symbolic.
This time, the nearby lords who responded to Zak's request to participate in this action have set up temporary camps in twos and threes under Zak's territory.
At a rough glance, the total number of people, including auxiliary troops and militia, may have reached tens of thousands!
Even if every noble sent out a thousand people, it would still take the combined efforts of dozens of nobles.
Even though many of them are militia and auxiliary troops, it is enough to show the determination of this group of nobles this time.
Zack's appeal alone is definitely not enough. After all, he is just a high-level knight and a baron with a little blessing magic.
This is more driven by interests.
Zack himself knew that he couldn't take on such a huge profit, but his own territory was closest to the town of Danik, so he could relatively get a pretty good portion of it.
Now, looking at the many nobles in the banquet hall, his face was full of vigor and vitality.
"Everyone, I have invested a lot of money this time. At this moment, the Border Knights of the Principality of Nott are facing off against the city of Dunnor across the river. The Bloody Duke is in charge personally. That unruly guy Luke is too busy to do anything else. At most, he can only send a few reinforcements to support us. As long as he doesn't send out all his men, we are not afraid of the forces we have gathered now!"
Zack raised his glass high and took a shot of cardiac stimulant.
No matter what, Count Luke is a sharp sword hanging over everyone's head. Even if he stays in Dunno City and does not come out, they will still feel worried!
Being able to restrain Earl Luke and prevent him from leaving for a short period of time, that's why they dared to gather here this time.
Otherwise, with so many "rebels" gathered together, it might really cause Earl Luke to lead a team to wipe them out in one fell swoop.
Now the Bloody Duke of Nott is stationed on the other side with his border corps. Even if he does nothing, it is enough to keep Luke where he is.
The strength of the Scarlet Duke is not as good as that of Count Luke, but he is also a veteran knight. The reason why the previous Count Dunno died of illness was largely because he was seriously injured in the confrontation with the Scarlet Duke.
But now that the border has been peaceful for twenty years , new storms have emerged.
"Hmph, even if all the Royal Knights under Luke come out, they are not stronger than us. I don't believe he dares to leave Dunnor City empty. If there is a chance, the Bloody Duke, with his experience, may not mind taking Dunnor City directly."
In the hall, an aristocrat with a scar on his face and exuding a fierce aura, sneered a few times at this time.
He had participated in the battle twenty years ago and made his fortune from it, but his interests and stance naturally changed after becoming a noble.
He knew that the Bloody Duke was just putting on an act this time and there was no way he would really go to war with Count Luke. Even if Zack promised him great benefits, he would not have the face to do so.
But if Luke really comes out in full force without caring about Dunno's safety, then the other party will definitely not mind biting off this piece of fat meat. This is a clear sign.
"That's right. The number of cavalrymen we have gathered now has exceeded a thousand! The total force is tens of thousands. Even if Danik builds his territory as strong as Tietong, it will be meaningless."
Another noble stood up and sneered.
Zach continued to say with a smile on his face.
"And in order to reduce our losses, I have specially invited my daughter's teacher, Master Ma Fei, to come over this time. He is capable of blasting open Danic's turtle shell."
Zack then led out a middle-aged man in a black robe with a stern face, causing exclamations from the people below.
They knew that Zack's daughter had a certain talent for magic and was learning magic, but they had always heard that her enchantment ability seemed to be stronger. They didn't expect that she would become this person's disciple.
Ma Fei is not a mage, but he is an outstanding professional warlock with the title of "Fire Warlock".
Although the several spells enhanced by bloodline are not all linked to the Chosen Warlock, he is also good at fireball and fire ring, which have extremely strong destructive power on the wooden walls of the town of Danic.
"Haha, with a strong support like Master Ma Fei, it will be a piece of cake to defeat General Danik!"
"That's right. If that guy Danic had some sense, he would have surrendered. For his noble status, we will still give him a decent punishment."
"If he resists, it's not our fault."
"I remember Mrs. Danic, hehe..."
As the group of people chatted and laughed, it seemed that they had already decided Danik's life or death.
They now had nearly thirty nobles gathered together, with more than fifty , and the number of cavalry had exceeded a thousand.
You should know that the strongest Royal Knights of the Principality of Kerton has only 5,000 people in total, and Luke only has 1,000 of them. This is because Grand Duke Kerton values his younger brother and knows that he has not yet successfully formed his own knight order, so he sent them to help.
In terms of quality, these scattered cavalrymen would definitely not be able to defeat the one thousand royal knights in a head-on attack, but they were definitely not afraid of individual combat power or small-scale team battles.
While Count Luke was focusing his main attention on the other side of the Donno River, they could have achieved their strategic goal long ago and wiped out the town of Danik!
"It is easy to take it down with our strength, but the problem is how to protect the victory."
"That's right. Baron Zak's territory is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is also the only way for Dunno to go to Danic Territory. It can be a solid line of defense."
"It took so long to build the Danic Territory. After we capture it, the moat will still be usable. It will be enough for us to hold it for a short time with our strength. We don't have to worry about reinforcements from other parts of the Principality. The other two great knights also have important tasks to do. It's impossible for them to come so far to deal with us."
"Yes, and we can continue to contact the Principality of Nott and the Calais Federation. With these cards in our hands, they will definitely be willing to invest more. If we can get airship support from Calais, then this place will be stable!"
“…”
A group of people at the banquet had already imagined a bright future.
As for the savages?
They didn't worry too much.
It's not that we underestimate the strength of the savages, but it doesn't matter to them who they trade with. After they have demonstrated their strength, the other party should also understand who is the most appropriate person to trade with.
Interests are the key to a stable relationship!
