Lord of the North

By this time, if Bron hasn't realized that he was tricked by Chris, then he is not stupid.

"When was the last time he was seen?"

After a short period of despair, he raised his head and stared at the guard with bloodshot eyes and asked, he was not reconciled, even if he died, he would drag the culprit to die with him.

"Yesterday, at noon yesterday, Mr. Chris hasn't appeared since he left you and returned home at noon yesterday."

The guard's eyes rolled sharply, and he hurriedly answered, for fear that if Bron was dissatisfied, he would kill himself. It's not like he didn't do such a thing as killing someone if he didn't agree with him.

"Send everyone out immediately, and follow the roads near the city of Yero to find him for me!"

Bron's eyes darkened when he heard this.

He is now convinced that all of this is Chris' conspiracy. If that guy escaped yesterday, the chances of him catching him back are really pitiful.

"Chris! I will definitely kill you!"

But the more important thing now is not where Chris went, but whether the six thousand soldiers he sent out have encountered accidents.

Although he really wanted to convince himself that 6,000 vs. 4,000 was better for his side, his reason told him that it would be very difficult for his army to defeat the army of Iron Fangling.

And this time he didn't think that the two armies would fight at all, so he didn't take the war equipment with him. Coupled with his mental calculations, Braum didn't dare to continue thinking about it.

"Quick! Send out cavalry and immediately chase back the army led by Morin!"

But he still wants to try to redeem it, what if a miracle happens? For example, something happened to Morin on the way of marching, which caused the army's marching speed to be delayed.

"Also, close the city gate immediately, no one is allowed to open the city gate without my order."

"Pass my order, the residents of the city are strictly forbidden to move around, if anyone violates the order, kill!"

"Send a messenger to contact the nobles near the city of Yero, and say that I need their help. I will be very grateful after I get through this difficulty."

Bron tried his best to calm himself down, and the orders were conveyed from his mouth. No matter how irritable and regretful he was at this time, it was useless.

What he can do now is to contact more forces to help him overcome this difficulty, otherwise it is impossible to hold the city with the remaining 2,000 troops in his city.

At the same time, the commander of the Atum Legion who was far away in Baijian City was not in a better mood.

For now there were three letters on his desk, from Zora, Bron, and Prince Phil.

Zola hoped that he would send troops to deter another province in the north, Jalan Province, so that Jason's plan would not be hindered there. Bron hoped that he could help him attack Lucca Province, and the benefits they would get would be shared equally between them. Phil even directly ordered him to unite with the northern garrison to launch a fatal blow to Jason's Iron Fang collar.

So now there are three ways before him, one way is to continue to support Jason according to the previous plan, and the second way is to attack Jason according to Bron and Phil's intentions.

The third way is for him to pretend to be stupid, to act as if nothing had happened, and not to get involved in this battle for the throne of the royal family.

He had already given up on this third way immediately, because he was very disturbed by Jason's frequent focus on the White Sword Province.

So in order to stabilize Jason, he later contacted Zola, and recognized Zola's true identity, and met Lancelot who he thought was the number one warrior under Jason's command.

It's just that he didn't foolishly publicize Zola's identity, not only is it useless, but it will also cause trouble for himself.

According to the current situation, it seems that this second path is the best choice for his interests, because Jason's current strength is still far behind that of all the nobles in the north combined.

But if what Zola said in the letter is true, then his rash actions may bring huge losses.

This made Atum very tangled in his heart.

In Zola's letter to him, he mentioned cryptically that no matter what decision White Sword City wants to make, Jason has the ability to destroy White Sword City before his army reaches Lucca Province.

This can be regarded as a kind of intimidation, and of course it may be Zola’s suspicion, but Atum, who is suspicious by nature, dare not take a gamble, because if he loses the bet, he will have to lose everything.

These people like to play mysteries, and they only say half of what they say. They are really tired. Atum pinched his eyebrows.

Although the possibility of Phil taking that position is very high, because he is now in Wangcheng, Jason's potential is even greater.

There are so many strong men under his command, and each of them has such a strong commanding ability, it is not certain whether the two sides will really fight each other.

If I replaced Phil with myself, I would definitely get rid of Jason, a confidant, as soon as possible, instead of watching him grow up little by little.

In the end, it became an existence that made everyone feel troublesome.

"Come on."

After thinking for a long time, Atum's eyes gradually became serious, as if he had made some decision in his heart.

"grown ups."

As soon as he finished speaking, two guards came to the door.

"Assemble the army and contact Earl Yuri, we are going to the Barea Pass."

Earl Yuri is Atum's father-in-law. He married Earl Yuri's only daughter. Today, he can sit in this position steadily, thanks to the Yuri family.

The Baria Pass is an important pass between the White Sword Province and the Jalan Province. Through this pass, his army can reach the city of Jalun within three days.

"Yes, my lord."

The guard looked up at Atum in astonishment, then lowered his head and responded in a deep voice.

"When did I become so crazy? I hope he won't blame me for dragging Yuri's family into this quagmire."

After the guards left, Atum stared blankly at the three letters on the table for a while, picked up the letters from Prince Phil and Braum and burned them, then shook his head with a wry smile and said to himself.

He also meant to protect Yuri's family, because once Jason took over the White Sword Province, the first thing to do was to clean up those big nobles who threatened him.

So he is helping Yuri's family to cast a certificate.

A few days later, the high walls of Hierro City were full of soldiers. They had been in a state of mental tension a few days ago. Hierro City was built after Lopez occupied the north. The walls were more than ten meters high. Enough to withstand the impact of most enemies.

"They're coming..."

Braum standing on the city wall suddenly muttered to himself, smoke and dust gradually rose on the horizon in the distance in his sight, Gareth's army was coming soon. ()
