Chapter 65: War Begins, Maine Valley in Turmoil
Baron Valmy and Baron Graton sent out their troops in a mighty force, and together with the symbolic dispatch of personnel from the Baron Lawrence territory, the entire Maine Valley was completely shaken.
Each pioneer lord was a little uneasy.
As the strongest in the entire Maine Valley, the three noble lords are the true rulers of the Maine Valley. At this moment, they actually "united", which made other pioneer lords worried.
"Oh my God, what are they going to do."
"Goddess of Life Bless."
"Baron Valmy, Baron Graton, and, there are members of Lawrence territory."
"My Goddess of Life, who can tell me what happened?"
Voices were mixed, and the uneasy mood continued to spread.
It was not until a few days later that everyone realized that the knights of the three baron territories were not gathering towards them, but heading towards a new pioneer lord in the west.
This instantly made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
After the relief, these pioneer lords were full of curiosity.
They didn't know who it was, which lord could actually provoke the three baron lords of the entire Maine Valley.
They sent out knights one by one.
And this made the entire Maine Valley lively again.
Even some noble lords outside the Maine Valley couldn't help but cast their eyes over.
But whether it was them or most people outside the Maine Valley, they didn't know what was going on at the moment.
Although Baron Valmy and Baron Graton got the news, they naturally couldn't leak such news.
As for Opal Lawrence, it was even more impossible.
The so-called large iron ore was just an excuse he made up.
It was enough to fool the two baron territories.
Or to be more precise, it was enough to let Eagle Ridge know that he brought people and even lured other nobles to attack Eagle Ridge.
In Opal Lawrence's view, as long as the lord of Eagle Ridge knew this, his father and eldest brother would have no chance of survival.
In this way, he would not have any problems inheriting Lawrence's territory.
Of course, Opal Lawrence did not know at this moment that the lord of Eagle Ridge, Tordressrosa, did not care about these things at all. His behavior made Thor determined to make a choice.
The night gradually passed.
The atmosphere around the entire Maine Valley became more and more tense.
Five days later.
The soldiers led by Baron Valmy and Baron Graton were only thirty miles away from the mine.
They would arrive in another day.
At the same time, a large number of knights began to wander around.
It was obviously the scouts sent by the two barons.
But they were destined to be disappointed.
As before, Thor directly recalled all the knights and retreated to the mine.
There was no obstacle on the way.
Even though his strength at this moment was not much inferior to the combined strength of the two barons, he only lacked a great knight.
But he did the same.
Just kidding, every bit of strength is extremely precious to him at this moment, so it is naturally impossible to waste it in vain.
And the news that the knight has discovered.
Baron Valmy and Baron Graton could not help but hesitate.
"Are you sure there is no ambush of Eagle Ridge around there?"
Baron Valmy asked the knight he sent out with disbelief.
"Sure!"
"There is no ambush in the entire surrounding area!"
"I'm afraid they have retreated to the mine, or have given up!"
The knight spoke respectfully, with a relaxed look.
"Okay, I know!"
Baron Valmy nodded, frowned slightly, and a doubt flashed in his heart.
Baron Graton on the other side was almost the same after receiving the news.
In doubt, the two hesitated slightly and decided to meet.
Although they were tempted by the large iron ore, they were not fools. They dared not neglect Eagle Ridge and the heir of Dressrosa.
After all, the other party defeated Baron Pape.
Even though the other party's strength should have been greatly reduced due to a battle that just broke out.
But we should still be careful.
"Sir Baron Valmy, you should have received the news. There are no knights from Eagle Ridge ahead!"
"This seems a little abnormal!"
Baron Graton frowned and looked at Baron Valmy who came in, and spoke in a deep voice.
"Not necessarily!"
"Not long ago, Baron Pape attacked here, so Eagle Ridge may have suffered a lot of damage. Knowing that we are here, they may have chosen to evacuate on their own initiative."
Baron Valmy also frowned, but after hearing Baron Graton's words, he shook his head and spoke with a thoughtful tone.
"Baron Valmy, this is possible."
"However, I have to remind you that the one in Eagle Ridge is not a pioneer knight like us, but a descendant of the Dressrosa family. Those people are not weak. What if it is not the case?"
"Or, what if that one informed the Dressrosa family?"
Baron Graton's heart moved, as if thinking about something, but soon shook his head and spoke with a solemn tone.
"Yes, indeed, they are different from us!"
"But there are more than one heir of the Dressrosa family, and the support they can provide may not be certain. As for notifying the family, you should know that Marquis Lehman has banned the outflow of resources. Compared with that Marquis, the Dressrosa family is just an earl."
"That's unlikely!"
"But you are right, it's right for us to be careful. Let's do this, we can send two knight groups to try first."
Valmy shook his head, and then seemed to think of something, and added again.
"Not bad!"
"We can try!"
Baron Graton's eyes lit up.
Soon the two barons made a decision.
That is to test it first.
After all, no one knows how strong Eagle Ridge is.
In addition, Baron Pape was destroyed, so they had to be vigilant.
No one knows what they will encounter if they attack rashly.
If they can't compete, they don't want to end up like Baron Pape.
They were just wandering knights who were granted titles by pioneering lords. Once they died, their territory would be completely lost, and they would not have the opportunity to hire knights from the Habsburg Chamber of Commerce like the Lawrence family.
The two knight groups set off quickly.
Most of them were reserve knight groups.
The strongest ones only had two official knights and a dozen apprentice knights.
