Chapter 880 Running away is not my style
The expulsion of these nobles from the Glory Continent immediately caused an uproar among the rest of the Glory Continent nobles.
Everyone had felt the contempt and oppression of them by the nobles of the Holy Continent.
Now even the wealth may be deprived, which made these nobles feel a sense of crisis, and then began to communicate frequently, discussing the future fate of themselves and others.
Although they did not belong to the Bach Empire, the empire they belonged to had no intention of expelling them.
But this also depends on the life of others, and they are really unstable.
And with the discussions of these nobles, after thinking about it, they finally found that they did not have a particularly good way to deal with it.
After all, the strength is there, and if you want to not be bullied, you are not strong enough.
Even if they are united, it is only equivalent to the strength of a small duchy on the Holy Continent.
Of course, it is not that they did not negotiate a compromise solution.
That is Narant.
Narant, though nominally a baron.
But now Narant’s strength is enough for them, the nobles who belong to the Glory Continent, to look up.
And Narant is now the existence of all the nobles of the Glory Continent who have the strength to confront certain forces in the Holy Continent.
In this way, some nobles came up with the idea of taking refuge in Narant.
With Narant’s strength and their solidarity, this power should no longer be underestimated by the people of the Holy Continent.
Of course, everyone didn’t know at the moment that Narant, whom they were counting on, was about to usher in the most crucial battle after he came to this sacred continent.
Why is it the most critical battle.
The reason is very simple. In the past, he fought two wars, and the enemies he dealt with were either orcs or goblins.
And even if these two enemies can really defeat him in the end, Narant can ‘strategically evacuate’.
As long as they retreated to the depths of the Holy Alliance, the orcs and goblins would have nothing to do with him.
In addition, even if the orcs and goblins conquered his territory, they would not be able to hold it for long.
Because this land belongs to the Holy Alliance, if the orcs and goblins want to occupy his territory for a long time, the Holy Alliance will be the first to refuse.
In this way, as long as the orcs or goblins withdraw, Narant can swagger back again.
But the enemy facing this time is the Bach Empire.
The Bach Empire was already one of the most powerful empires in the alliance.
It launched a war against Narant, and once Narant was defeated, it meant that there would be no place in the Holy Alliance.
At least his subordinates couldn’t follow to join other empires.
And the territory of his Storm Territory, although the Bach Empire will not occupy it and cultivate it on its own.
But as long as the Bach Empire is there, it means that Narant’s territory cannot be returned to him.
In this way, when the time comes, his lord will be dead in name only.
A lord without land and serfs is not a lord at all.
Therefore, Narant must resist the attack of the Bach Empire this time, so that he can continue to live peacefully in his own territory.
And on this day, Narant finally received a message from Duke Miller.
“Allied forces?”
When Narant read the letter sent by Duke Miller, his brows furrowed.
“Yes, Baron Narant, this matter has spread throughout the alliance, and the Bach Empire has contacted seven principalities that are allied with them.”
“Although these principalities are not as powerful as empires, each principality can dispatch thousands of extraordinary knights.”
“If they gather together, there will be at least 40,000 or 50,000 extraordinary knights!”
“In addition, before I set off, I heard that the Bach Empire was planning to dispatch their imperial guard knights, and there should be 50,000 extraordinary knights.”
“In this way, there are at least nearly 100,000 extraordinary knights!” In front of Narant, the messenger in charge of delivering the letter replied respectfully.
“This Bach Empire really looks down on me. The dignified empire was enough to deal with me. Now it has even pulled in the coalition. This is to kill the chickens and show the majesty of the Bach Empire!”
Hearing the words, Narant just pondered for a moment, and knew why the Bach Empire did this.
In this expedition to the Land of the Dead, the Bach Empire army had lost all face under Eric’s Sao operation.
This will greatly damage the prestige of the Bach Empire within the Holy Alliance.
And now, if the Bach Empire wants to re-establish its prestige, it must show its strength.
And he Narant just happened to be the target for the Bach Empire to show its prestige.
“Baron Narant, the Duke said that at the meeting of the Union Parliament a few days ago, the representatives of our Nok Empire and the Blue Shield Empire opposed the Bach Empire’s accountability to you.”
“But after all, there is no way to stop the Bach Empire’s military action against you.”
“And, knowing that the Bach Empire wants to form a coalition to attack you this time, our noble representatives also stopped it.”
“It’s a pity that the Bach Empire has drilled a loophole in the alliance law, that is, the law stipulates that when the coalition civil war is faced with the principality and the empire, it needs the unanimous vote of the six empires.”
“But because you do not belong to any principality of the alliance, our empire cannot intervene in the formation of a coalition by the Bach Empire!”
“However, the Duke also said that if you are not sure of winning, it is best to make arrangements in advance.”
“If possible, leave with Xiaoxiao and go to our Nok Empire in the near future. The Duke can guarantee your safety at that time.” The messenger continued to speak.
“Well, although it failed to stop the military operations of the Bach Empire, I know that Duke Miller must have done his best, and I would like to thank Duke Miller for his help here!”
“However, regarding the early evacuation, go back and tell Duke Miller that I have invested too much effort in this Storm Territory, so I cannot escape.”
“So, I will wait for the arrival of the coalition forces of the Bach Empire.”
Although Narant did not have a detailed understanding of what happened at the parliamentary meeting, he was able to persuade the King of the Nok Empire to oppose the Bach Empire. Duke Miller was definitely doing his best to protect him.
This favor, he Narant must remember.
As for Duke Miller’s persuading him to flee immediately, Narant really didn’t plan to flee, at least fleeing before he tried to resist. This was not his style.
The messenger had a strange look when he heard the words. Before he came, he had heard how good Narant was and how heroic he was on the battlefield.
When we meet now, I really see a different side.
It was a coalition of eight countries, with at least 100,000 extraordinary knights invading.
And the population of Baron Narant’s territory will not exceed 40,000 people at most, and this includes the goblins.
How to fight the invasion of the coalition forces, if you want to change to other nobles, you have already chosen to flee.
As for whether such a reputation will be too unpleasant, in fact, the impact is not too great.
Because no principality in the entire alliance dares to pat its chest and promise that it dares to ignore the 100,000 coalition troops of the Bach Empire.
In this way, facing the attack of the coalition forces, even if they escaped, it would only be a very smart choice.
“Okay, Your Excellency Messenger, I know what you are worried about, I have made up my mind, just report it to Duke Miller truthfully.
Seeing the messenger’s expression, Narant simply waved his hand.
“Yes, Baron Narrant.”
In this way, the messenger didn’t say anything more, and was soon arranged by Narant to go to the guest room to rest, and let the messenger leave after breakfast tomorrow.
After the messenger left, Narant immediately convened a group of his subordinates to start an emergency meeting.
“My lord, this Bach Empire is too shameless. It is clearly their fault, and now they have assembled a coalition to attack our Storm Leader!”
“Yeah, that Prince Eric wanted to attack and kill the adults, and being executed by the adults deserved it. In fact, we should ask their Bach Empire for an explanation!”
When Narant informed his subordinates that the Bach Empire was about to invade.
The faces of the subordinates immediately showed angry expressions, and the indignation showed the shamelessness of the Bach Empire.
Especially a few women, because their adults were attacked last time, they already have a very deep prejudice against the Bach Empire.
Even Shirley’s little girl bit the jerky in her hand and chewed it secretly, as if the jerky was the Bach Empire.
“Well, there is no need to say more about the shamelessness of the Bach Empire. The adults are calling you here now to prepare for the arrival of the Bach Empire coalition!”
Seeing the angry expressions of the female shellfish clenching their teeth, Narant burst into laughter.
The Bach Empire is self-sufficient and powerful, so there is no need to reason.
It must have become more accustomed to this sacred continent in the past, so even if it is them who are wrong, they will use force to save the so-called face later.
“My lord, our Wild Wolf Knights swear allegiance to you to the death. As long as those hateful Bach Empires actually dare to step into the Storm Leader, their subordinates will let them go back and forth!” Raymond swore immediately after hearing this.
“My lord, our Storm Knights can fight at any time. If the enemy wants to invade our territory, then we will fight to the end, and use the blood of the enemy to dye their path red!”
Quick also expressed the will to fight.
“Well, I know you are all brave enough, but this time the number of enemies is too many and the strength is too strong, we can’t fight them head-to-head.”
“After all, the extraordinary knights of the coalition are not orcs or dark creatures. Human knights also have enough wisdom to deal with them differently from the previous wars.”
Narant waved his hand, there is no doubt about the courage of his subordinates, but unfortunately the number is too small, so this time it is still impossible to face it head-on.
“My lord, how should we fight, should we immediately start fortifying the castle, and then build fortifications on the perimeter.”
“This time the enemy is too strong. If we directly stationed the territory, it would definitely be unstoppable.”
“Also, if the battle were to take place on our Stormland, it would likely destroy our hard-earned territory.”
“So, the location of this battle, we must choose outside the Storm Territory.”
“So, this time I’m going to take the initiative!”
“Take the initiative?” Quick was taken aback when he heard the words.
In the face of a large number of enemies, in his opinion, relying on the city wall to garrison, that is the real once and for all.
For example, the Viscount Castle, my lord, is a very good defensive fortress.
And now that you know that the enemy is about to attack, as long as you set up a line of defense around the castle in advance, there is a high probability of resisting the enemy.
“That’s right, it’s taking the initiative to attack. They certainly won’t think that since we still have the courage to take the initiative to meet the enemy, and we don’t rely on high walls to fight them.”
“So, when the time comes, you should be able to give them a head-on blow to their morale.”
“Of course, there are still too many enemies, so we will definitely need to make other arrangements in the future.”
“In this way, you go back now and tell everyone that you are equipped with weapons and equipment and enough supplies, and we are ready to go at any time.”
“As for how to fight, we will discuss in detail after your notification is issued!”
A complete battle plan is naturally not something that can be come up in an instant.
Narant now asks his subordinates to start preparing, and then think about countermeasures.
After all, according to what the messenger said, the Bach Empire coalition had at least ten days to go to reach him.
“Yes, my lord!”
Quick and others immediately took the order, and then left the conference hall as instructed by Narant, preparing to order the news.
In this way, I got the exact news of the imminent invasion of the Bach Empire~www.readmtl.com~ Narant’s entire Storm Territory began to enter a state of preparation.
Of course, in order to avoid panic among the territorial people, this news was only revealed to Narant’s subordinates for the time being.
However, as time passed, the news of the imminent invasion of the Bach Empire gradually spread.
And the reason this news spread was because of those caravans.
These caravans all have backgrounds in various principalities, so they were quickly notified by messengers sent by their respective principalities.
When they learned that Stormwind Territory was about to become a battlefield, these caravans naturally couldn’t wait any longer and began to leave Stormwind Territory one after another.
In this way, with the departure of the caravan, the storm collar became quiet, and the scene of the crowd was no longer visible in the town.
Seeing this, Narant felt that the time was almost up, so he instructed Mario to start an orderly evacuation with the people.
Although he expected to fight outside the Storm Territory, he still needed to be just in case.
Therefore, he will arrange to hide in the jungle near the border of the Orc Empire.
In this way, even if the Bach Empire was given the courage, they would not dare to go deep.
When the serfs of the Storm Collar were also evacuated, Narant’s Storm Collar was completely neutral.
At this time, he also began to assemble the team, preparing to rush to the road ahead of the Bach Empire coalition.
“Narant, the thousand inscription pickaxes you asked for are finally finished!”
On this day, Heita wiped his sweat and pulled a carriage with several dwarves to the castle.
“It’s really great!” Narant was overjoyed when he heard the words. After waiting for so many days, he finally waited for the completion of the mining pick.
Of course, this was also due to the fact that after Heita returned to the dwarven tribe this time, three dwarf blacksmiths were kidnapped.
In this way, it is possible to complete the forging of a thousand inscription weapons in a short period of time.
