After bidding farewell to Master Margarita, Christine arrived at the destination of her trip, Venia County, Habsburg Kingdom, after half a month's journey. The family to which Master Gottfried belongs, the barony of Keller, is located in this county.

The ancestor of the Keller family was the mage who took the lead in excavating the ruins. Later, when everyone had money and the mage level increased, they began to isolate themselves from the original organization.

After all, it doesn't matter if you excavate the ruins, but if you want to keep many of the prohibited items unearthed, the risk is great.

You Yanzu will be surprised, why do you want to stay?

The top contraband items are items from the Magic Empire of ancient Netheril. Generally, those found are sold to the Church of the Goddess of Magic and the Mages Guild and cannot be kept privately.

But the problem is how is it possible for a mage not to study things from the ancient Netheril Magic Empire? All mages are involved in it more or less, but everyone understands it tacitly.

However, necessary precautions must still be taken.

This organization has developed to the present. It is three mages with hidden identities headed by Master Gottfried who control the vestry organization of the Priory of Sion. Then the vestry organization's branches in various countries have established local branches such as the XX Brothers. It is the second-level vest organization of the society, and has cultivated many pirates, mercenaries and other thug organizations.

After the purge of the Church of the God of Order, the Priory of Sion's influence in the Kingdom of France, the Kingdom of Rhine, the Principality of Bihe, and the Principality of Alpine was uprooted, so the three of them changed their branches in other countries and hid them.

It's a pity that Master Gottfried is dead, so Christine doesn't know all the inside information.

The Keller family is also a mage family with a long tradition. Relying on its own abilities, it was no problem to obtain half a barony and a hereditary baron title in the Habsburg Kingdom. Later, it established an intermediate mage belonging to the family. tower.

Various advantages made the Keller family finally become famous as master-level mage in Gottfried's generation. Master Gottfried trained several middle- and high-level mage, making the family's status extremely stable and their income steadily rising.

But a few months ago, the news came back that Master Gottfried and several mages had died in Stewart Territory, making everyone in the Keller family feel that the sky was falling. They really couldn't imagine what kind of power could kill a master mage.

Although the details of how Master Gottfried was defeated are unknown, it is not difficult to know the general process of that battle. After figuring out what happened, Master Gottfried's son, the current Baron Keller, felt that the family had a mage tower, and the Earl of Stewart should know that it was useless to send people to retaliate.

However, nothing is guaranteed, and plans must be made in advance.

.

It was impossible for Christine to hide such a conspicuous team, and she had no intention of hiding her identity, so as soon as she entered the city of Ljubljana in Vinja County, Baron Keller received the news from the magical transmission.

In the study room of the manor, Baron Keller was surprised when he looked at the magic letter in his hand. He confirmed again: "Is there anything wrong in the letter? Is this Earl Stewart here in person?"

"That's right, there is her count's flag in the team." Family mage Jos replied.

Whichever noble a team belongs to will fly a flag embroidered with the family emblem. Some famous organizations and chambers of commerce on the mainland also have their own flags. If a lord is in the team, a flag representing the lord will be added. If there are other nobles and knights accompanying him, they will also display their own flags. It is very simple and will never be mistaken.

Of course Baron Keller knew, he just couldn't believe it.

The letter stated that the other party had brought five knights, seven fourth-level professionals, and fifty elite cavalry. It was unclear who else was in the carriage. But the problem is that even if there are two masters in the opponent's carriage, they can't knock down the mage tower. In this case, what would a Count Christian do to come so far in person?

But if you don’t understand it, you don’t understand it, but you must make the preparations you need to make.

"Butler, please make arrangements to send all the valuable belongings of the family to the Mage Tower warehouse, and prepare all daily necessities."

"As ordered."

"Joss, please assist the housekeeper in his work." Baron Keller said to the family's fifth-level mage.

"Ok."

"Knight Genie, gather the soldiers and distribute weapons." Baron Keller said to his knights.

"As ordered."

Baron Keller then discussed the details with everyone, and then asked them to hurry up and get things done.

Since the Stuart Earldom has the strength to kill master level mages, leading people to intercept them is tantamount to committing suicide, so they can only stick to this path.

The mage tower is built in the family castle. Baron Keller's plan is to rely on the castle to resist. With the mage tower as a fort support, it can be said to be impregnable.

The magic attack distance of the mage tower is ten times that of the mage, which means that the enemy will be attacked by the mage tower within a thousand meters. The only way is to build a trebuchet and hit it with stones from a distance. The mage tower must use spells to intercept the flying stones, which naturally consumes energy.

But trebuchets also have a service life, so they must reach a certain scale. To put it bluntly, the purpose is to use up the energy of the mage tower. If there are not enough trebuchets, we can only use soldiers to pile them up.

The offensive side needs to deploy enough mid- to high-level professionals, even master-level professionals, to prevent the opponent from counterattacking. Otherwise, if several knights rush out from the castle where the mage tower is located, leading soldiers or golems to kill the soldiers, it will not be able to consume the energy of the mage tower.

In Baron Keller's view, if Earl Stewart cannot knock down the castle and the mage tower, it will be useless even if he captures all the villages and towns, because he can send troops to occupy them at any time.

In the final analysis, the Earl of Stewart is too far away from here, and the opponent cannot continue to waste time with us. Sooner or later, he will have to retreat.

Because he was well prepared, Baron Keller trained 100 formal soldiers and 300 militiamen, all equipped with very sophisticated equipment. Plus four knights and more than a dozen knight attendants, it can be said that defensive strength is not a problem. . The castle has prepared enough supplies for everyone to live for a year and a large number of spare weapons and armor.

As for Christine, after arriving in the city of Ljubljana, she first paid a courtesy visit to the Count of Ljubljana, and then went to the Temple of the God of Order and the Mages Guild the next day to submit documents and apply for them to send someone. Follow yourself to the Barony of Keller.

As a local, whether he is a priest or a mage, he knows everything about the situation of the Keller family. They have not seen any masters accompanying them, so no one thinks that Christine can defeat the mage with this person. Tower defense castle.

However, since Earl Stewart submitted the legal documents, the Church of the God of Order sent two fifth-level priests, and the Mages Guild also sent two fifth-level mages. But in fact, most of them were just watching the excitement.
