Chapter 246 The Marquis's Attitude

Rulans had been preparing to go to bed, but he didn't expect such a big thing to happen in the middle of the night.

He leaned against the bed, holding the letter for help sent by Corian in his hand, his expression calm, as if he was used to it.

The letter must be real. The Knight Commander would write several letters every year. Rulans had known the other party's handwriting for a long time, and the marks on the letter bird also proved that it was impossible to forge.

"Well."

He sighed and looked at Wiggins sitting in a chair next to him, "What are your plans?"

Wiggins said what he had just thought.

"I'm going to issue a war order to other nobles, gather troops to support Boulder City and retake Red Mountain Town."

Wiggins was ambitious: "If there is a chance, we can even retake Kasir Town, and even advance further south!"

"Oh, by the way, father."

He glanced at Ronin and said, "I can't go to the front line this time, so I plan to let Ronin represent our Wushan family and serve as the commander of this operation."

Rulans frowned slightly when he heard this, and then looked at Toru and Kabir in the room.

"What do you two think?"

The two looked at each other, and Kabir spoke first.

"My Lord, it is strange that the Polante Bandits attacked and defeated the Fifth Knights. I suggest writing to Corian immediately to let him explain the situation of the battle so that we can take appropriate countermeasures."

He paused and continued, "But no matter what, Wushan Territory must teach the enemy a profound lesson this time!"

Toru nodded and agreed, "My Lord, my opinion is the same as Kabir. If the Polante Bandits are not taught a lesson, they will continue to expand northward."

Lu Lans nodded slightly.

This war can only be avoided if Wushan Castle takes the initiative to sign a ceasefire agreement with the Polante Bandits and give up Chishan Town.

But if this is really done, how will the lords of all sizes view Wushan Castle?

It is too undignified to ask for peace without fighting, and the object of the peace is the bandits, which is a low-class thing.

This war is inevitable.

"Write a letter to Corian now, and let him explain the situation of the battle and whether the other party intends to continue to invade the Stone City."

Rulans gave an order: "For the rest, do as Wiggins wants."

He waved his hand and signaled everyone to leave, "Ronin, you stay."

Wiggins, Kabir and others got up and left the bedroom. Before leaving, they all looked at Ronin silently, wondering what the Marquis would talk to him about.

After leaving the bedroom, Wiggins began to make arrangements.

He first asked the liaison officer Carolina to write a letter to the Stone City overnight by letter bird, asking about the current specific situation there.

On the other hand, Toru was asked to draw some knight teams from the First Knights to prepare to support Corian first, in case half of the Knights could not withstand the pressure and suffered an accident.

In addition, since the decision to attack was made, the supplies previously supported Chishan Town must not be enough, and the political officer and the financial officer should coordinate manpower to prepare supplies as soon as possible.

Wiggins himself discussed the content of the war order with Kabir.

Over the years, in the face of the war launched by the Black Gold Brotherhood and the Polish Thieves, although Wiggins was not good at battlefield command, he did a remarkable job in the early mobilization.

Looking at the backs of everyone leaving in a hurry, Bretton clenched his fists. It was a pity that his strength was too weak, otherwise he could also go to the battlefield.

"Mother, will Brother Ronin agree to go to the battlefield?"

Dai Ni looked back at Lu Lans's house, "Maybe?"

She only knew that Lu Lans valued Ronin more. If he took the latter's safety into consideration, he might not agree to let Ronin go to the battlefield.

In the bedroom, only Lu Lans and Ronin were left.

"Wiggins said that you should represent the Wushan family as the commander of this war. What do you think?"

Ronin has been thinking about this question.

The war call issued by Wiggins, the nobles of Wushan Territory, big and small, basically responded without reasonable reasons. Even if they did not send knights and soldiers, they would also provide money, food and other supplies.

Ronin, as the Viscount of Wubei Territory, was also included.

"Although Wubei Territory is in a state of disrepair, as a member of the Wushan family, I will still try my best to contribute."

Ronin said: "But I have to think seriously about the commander's job. After all, I have never been on the battlefield and lack experience. If I command blindly, I am afraid it will bring disaster to the team."

Lu Lansi nodded.

Although there is no direct monetary reward for being the commander of the coalition, there are also many benefits.

If you win the battle you command, you will get a lot of reputation.

The larger the battle, the higher the reputation.

Reputation is a good thing, especially for emerging lords like Ronin whose territory is still in its infancy. A far-reaching reputation can attract more talents and increase cohesion.

"I am very pleased that you can recognize your own shortcomings and not be blinded by the desire for power."

The Marquis remembered that when he asked Wiggins to be the commander of the battle to eliminate the resistance forces in the territory, the equally inexperienced Wiggins was not polite.

As a result, there were many twists and turns in that battle, which gave the group of people the opportunity to escape into the woods in the north, which led to the later formation of the savage tribe.

"Actually, I don't want you to participate in this battle. In other words, even if you do, you can just serve as a material transportation officer in the rear."

Maybe it was because he was old, or maybe he subconsciously connected Luo Ning with his eldest son.

Grimes, whom he had high hopes for, died on the battlefield, and he didn't want Ronin to make the same mistake again.

Rulans said: "The battlefield is dangerous, and the components of the Polant Bandits are relatively complex, so we must be careful when dealing with them."

Luo Ning is very concerned about the words "complex ingredients".

In fact, he had doubts about the so-called thieves group and brotherhood very early. Why did the forces that were destroyed by Wushan Territory develop so fast?

"Grandpa, are you saying that there is someone behind the Bolt Bandits?"

Luo Ning simply asked his doubts: "Is he the Earl of Moonlight Valley?"

Lulans was a little surprised. He didn't expect Luo Ning to think of this, and he couldn't help but feel even more pleased.

"You are much more perceptive than your father. He has fought several times with the Boland Thieves, and he didn't expect this at all."

He changed the topic: "But I am just guessing. There is no conclusive evidence to prove this matter yet."

This kind of thing must be done secretly.

Openly supporting a band of thieves to invade the territory of other nobles is not allowed by the laws of the kingdom. Once caught by Wushan Castle and brought to the royal capital, Jesus must be prepared to be questioned even if he is His Majesty's younger brother. preparation for liability and sanctions.

"Then the Black Gold Brotherhood is supported by Vera?"

Lulans was silent for a while, and then slowly said, "Maybe."

From this point of view, Rulans still knows the details of these two forces, but he is too late and has no energy to deal with this matter.

Although the two borders are in a state of turmoil, most of the Wushan Territory is peaceful, which is acceptable to Rulans.

Just use the southeast and southwest directions as a testing ground and play with them.

I just don’t know, is this powerful attack by the Poland Thief Group just to occupy Chishan Town, or does it have a bigger plot?

Lulans put away his thoughts, "If you don't want to go to the battlefield, I will arrange for you to be in charge of logistics. If you want to go to the front line to bathe in the baptism of war, then you, representing the Wushan family, will naturally be the commander, but I will arrange for someone to come from I'll help you."

"There is still some time between mobilization and departure. You should go back and think about it carefully."

Although a qualified heir to a family needs to be baptized by war, Rulans is in no hurry.

For him, Chishan Town can be lost, and even the Boulder Territory can be abandoned, as long as most of the Wushan Territory is peaceful.

Now both Luo Ning and Brayton have extraordinary qualifications, especially Luo Ning, who is both thoughtful and powerful.

As long as the Wushan family is given some time, these lost territories will eventually be regained after they grow up.

However, Lulans still left the final choice in all of this to Luo Ning, letting the other party choose the path he wanted to take.

"I will seriously consider it."

Ronin said, stood up and left the bedroom. (End of chapter)
