Hearthstone Farm Lord

Chapter 573 Countess Allegiance

That night, Anduin wrote a "sincerely affectionate" letter to the Marquis of the River.

The letter stated that he was very honored to accept the surrender of the Marquis of the River on behalf of the town of River Beach.In order to show his sincerity, he will take his direct subordinates and head to Jorn City in person four days later.

Between the lines of the letter, Anduin also intentionally or unintentionally revealed that he welcomes the River Family and is willing to absorb them to achieve the effect of expanding its wings.Hope they can pick up this signal.

The next day, the morning of August 8th.

Anduin handed the letter to the messenger himself, and found him a good horse, so that he could send the letter to the city of Jorn as quickly as possible.

The envoy did not dare to neglect, so he mounted his fast horse and returned along the original route.

That afternoon, he returned to the city of Jorn, and handed Anduin's handwritten letter to the Lord River Marquis.

In the study room of the Golden Wolf King Castle, the Marquis of the River looked at the handwritten letter in his hand, and the smile on the corner of his mouth continued to widen.

Jessica, who was sitting opposite, saw her father's expression and immediately asked: "Father, does it mean that Anduin agreed?"

"Of course." The Marquis of the River nodded with a smile: "Anduin promised us that he will come to Yon City in person to accept our surrender in four days. Our plan is half successful! Jessica, we are preparing well these days Get ready for Anduin’s arrival!”

"Okay, Father." Jessica's frown relaxed.

In this way, she would no longer have to take the path of "killing her father".
.
Anduin spent a day deciding on the candidates for the team heading to Yonn City.

On the morning of August 8, Anduin and his team set off for Yohn City.

This team is dominated by Anduin, Olivia the orange cat, and Khadgar lurking in the dark, and the others are just foils.

There are two sky ranks, enough to ensure the safety of the entire team.
.
That afternoon, Sean also returned to River Beach Town through the [Portal], preparing to go to Yorn City to meet Anduin.

After taking Jon City, they will be able to take Jon City as a starting point and take the entire Yon region into their pockets.

By then, Sean will own the three areas of Eoun City, Port Kapoor, and Rhodes Island, and the lesser half of the Principality will be under Sean's control!
.
Before setting off for Jorn City, Sean also met with the Countess of Steam——Angelina Steam.

The Countess of Steam was the original lord of Academy Town, and she has been recuperating in River Beach Town since she escaped from the clutches of the Marquis of the River last time.

Of course, Sean couldn't let her recuperate forever. Now that it was time to use her, she had to make a statement.

Sean met the Countess of Steam in the study room of the castle in River Beach Town.

The Countess of Steam is almost recovered from her injuries, but she is well aware of the current situation in the entire Yorn area, with worry mixed between her brows.

After seeing the countess, Sean cut straight to the point: "Angelina, how did you think about the conditions I proposed to you last time?"

At the same time, Sean took a sip of the tea brought by the waiter, and sighed, "Angelina, this is a special product of the Pandaren Empire. It is a rare treasure. You can try it."

Countess Steam had no intention of drinking tea. After hesitating for a while, she knelt down on one knee towards Sean:

"His Royal Highness Sean, I am willing to pledge allegiance to you on behalf of my family, join your command, and become a part of your power."

"Very good!" Xiao En stood up from his seat with a smile: "Well, let's go to Yon City and meet Anduin together, and after taking Yon City, I will let you go back to Academy Town. "

"Taking Jorn City? However...everything is under your command, Your Highness Sean." The Countess of Steam replied.
.
The reason why Sean wanted to recruit the Countess of Steam was mainly to expand the army in his hands.

His current army only has a hundred troops from Hetan Town. The number is too small and is not enough to occupy such a large territory in the Yohn area.

Even if the army is expanded, only a batch of good and bad new troops can be harvested in a short period of time. It will not significantly improve the military strength of the entire territory, but will be a drag.

In order to expand the army, the best way is to recruit all the captured elite water nobles into their ranks.

But these elite troops obviously won't listen to Xiao En, they all have a strong sense of "loyalty".

For example, the elite troops of the River Family will only be loyal to the core members of the River Family.

Even if they are forcibly incorporated, there is a high probability that they will be "in Cao Ying and in Han", and they will not achieve the effect at all.

So Sean is going to get the allegiance of the Countess of Steam.

After the countess is loyal, he can use the countess to temporarily control the elite troops of the water-type nobles (except for the troops of the direct line of the river family).

After taking Yorn City in the future, Vivienne can control the army directly under the River Family.

This is tantamount to saying that Sean indirectly controlled all the elite troops of the water system nobles.

Later, it will be slowly converted and absorbed into the actual power of the territory.

Here Sean has gained the allegiance of the Countess, and over there, Anduin is still on his way.

Three days later, July 8.

On this day, Anduin led the troops and finally arrived at the city of Yorn.There are only a few short kilometers left to the east gate of Jorn City.

"Hey! It's finally here!" Anduin couldn't help sighing as he looked at the towering walls of Jorn City in the distance.

They have been walking all the way these days, passing through several villages and towns in the Yorn region, such as the now dilapidated Lookout Town.

In order to show his sincerity, the Marquis of the River spread the news of "surrender to Anduin" to all the surrounding villages and towns, so Anduin can basically judge that the Marquis of the River surrendered to him sincerely, not some deliberate trap .

So what Anduin thought more about along the way was not "how to take Yohn City", but "what to do after taking Yohn City".

But at this moment, the orange cat Olivia suddenly raised her head from his embrace and looked towards the southern sky.

But she just took a look, and then buried her head in Anduin's arms again.

Seeing Olivia's actions, Anduin probably understood that Khadgar should be back.

Sure enough, ten seconds later, a dark blue raven passed through the jungle and landed on Anduin's shoulder: "Anduin, I'm back!"

"Khadgar, how is your lord doing?"

"I saw their itinerary, and they will probably arrive in Yorn City this afternoon." Khadgar replied.

Anduin's eyes narrowed slightly: "That means we're going to take down Jon City this morning, right?"

"That's what it means." Khadgar flapped his wings: "Don't worry, one morning is enough. There is no Sky Staircase in Jorn City."

"I think it's about the same." Anduin smiled.
