Lord: Taken away from inheritance at the beginning.

Lu Lans' words surprised Luo Ning.

A seventh-level great magician, even Elrond has strong combat power. Under normal circumstances, who can pose a threat to such a person?

"What happened? Were you attacked by a monster while collecting herbs in the mountains?"

He didn't know that Miroslav and Rulans had discussed selling the magic potion that could alleviate the Soul Devouring Surge to Black Python City.

If he had this information, he would have guessed that it was related to the Hyde family.

"A while ago, on the morning of the 9th, Orson's castle came under heavy attack. Although there were no civilians around the castle, many people still heard a loud roar."

"Then all the knights of Black Python City were dispatched to search the entire city. Although no one knew who they were searching for, the incident became known to everyone. And from that day on, people were only allowed to enter Black Python City, but not leave."

The reason why Lu Lan Si knew this information was because he had spies in Black Python City.

However, his informants could only bring this much information, and no more detailed information was known.

"The old dean went to Black Python Castle?"

Lu Lan Si nodded, "Yes, he went to resell the magic potions that he had sold to me to Orson."

"I asked Melonica to find out. Miroslav did leave Wushan Town in early March. He was accompanied by his guards, including Blefu, and headed towards Black Python City. Calculating the time, they will arrive around the 9th."

Roning sat down. To be honest, he still found it hard to believe this was true.

"No matter how crazy Orson is, he wouldn't attack the old dean, right? Is this information true?"

Whether nobles or commoners, there is always a purpose for taking action against others.

What does Orson gain by attacking Miroslav?

Land, money?

Miroslav had no land, and as for money, he could not carry much on him. Moreover, the Hyde family was not poor, so they would not offend the old dean for a few tens of thousands of gold coins.

As for pure revenge, that seems even less likely.

"I can't understand it either."

In Lulans's opinion, it was very good news for Orson that Miroslav could sell the magic potion that could alleviate the Soul-Devouring Surge to the latter.

After all, although this medicine cannot completely cure the disease, it does relieve some of the symptoms.

Even if it is a bit expensive, Orson should be very happy. Why would he turn around and attack Miroslav?

Moreover, this action is clearly an excuse to hold Wushanbao accountable.

This behavior is so abnormal.

"Grandpa, what are you going to do?"

It was obvious that Lu Lans called him over not just to tell him this information, otherwise he would have just stated it directly in the letter.

"Melonika sent someone to deliver my letter to Black Python City. In name, she was concerned about the situation in Black Python Castle, but in fact, she was asking Barrington to come to Wushan Castle on behalf of Orson to explain the matter."

Luo Ning nodded slightly.

In theory, vassals need to come to Wushan Castle to "work" for a period of time every year. For example, some earls would work as grooms for their lords for a period of time every year.

This is not absolute. Some vassals do not have the time or do not want to work hard, and they can exchange them for gold coins or other valuable things instead of serving.

But when the lord specifically asks a vassal to come over, the other party must respond.

Barrington is not a vassal of Ruland, but he will inherit the title of Earl in the future. At the same time, Ruland came in the name of "replacing Orson", so the other party had no reason not to come.

"Barrington hasn't been to Wushan Castle in these years. I wonder how he will deal with it?" Roning was a little curious.

Lu Lansi said: "I have asked Melonica to gather the Third Knights, and Kabir's Second Knights are also ready."

Luo Ning was shocked. Are they going to attack Black Python City?

He looked at the map on the wall behind him. Wushan Town and Brilliant City were adjacent to each other, and either side could reach Black Python City by going east.

Lulans deployed the Second and Third Knights in this place, and arranged people he absolutely trusted. It seemed that the old man had already seen that Orson was someone who needed to be punished.

"Do you really want to do it?"

Roning asked, "If we take action, two knight groups may not be enough, right?"

"For now, we are just putting pressure on the other party. We have no intention of taking action immediately."

Lulans explained: "If Barrington doesn't come to Wushan Castle, and I find evidence that Miroslav was attacked in Black Python City, then it's time for me to take action."

There seemed to be a flash of thunder in his eyes, and he seemed to use this battle to announce to the outside world that the former Marquis of Thunder was back.

"There are two knight orders in Black Python City. If we add the vassals under Orson, we can probably put together another knight order, a total of three."

Lu Lansi smiled and said, "In addition to the five existing Wushan Forts, three new ones have been formed. Although the new ones do not have much combat power, they are enough to guard the territory."

Luo Ning understood the meaning of the other party's words.

"So if war really breaks out, you plan to mobilize all five old knight orders?"

"No, not only will your Fifth Knights not move, I will also have the newly formed Eighth Knights stationed in Shore City, which needs to be defended."

Roning nodded. This was preparation for the new generation of Polante thieves to start an uprising.

"Three against three, even if we win, there will be heavy casualties."

Luo Ning said, "Are you not going to issue a conscription order?"

In his opinion, if he was going to fight, he had to fight with surplus troops. Being evenly matched was not advisable. Moreover, the old dean's accident was not just his Wushanbao's business.

Lu Lans naturally thought of this.

He laughed and said, "Don't forget that this time we sent out troops mainly to help Miroslav. He is not only the dean of Wushan Supernatural College and my honorary earl, but also the honorary viscount of the kingdom and the spokesperson of the Silva Magic Energy Chamber of Commerce in Wushan Territory."

"If something really happens to him, whether the kingdom will send troops or not is another matter, but the Silva Magic Energy Chamber of Commerce will definitely not stand idly by."

The manager of a region was attacked. If the Silva Magic Chamber of Commerce does not stand up, its prestige will be severely suppressed, and such incidents may occur frequently in the future.

This is a serious negative impact on such a large magic energy chamber of commerce.

Lu Lans went on to say, "They have more than a dozen branches in our Wushan Territory. Each branch is managed by a great magician or even a chief magician. In addition, there is also a special knight team. When this group of people join the battle, their power is no less than that of the Knights."

Roning had some understanding of this.

The Silva Magic Chamber of Commerce in the Horse Herder City has been doing business with the Umberto Lords. Every time they send magic materials to Elrond, they are escorted by a team of knights.

At the beginning, the materials purchased were small and of low value, and the team was led by a high-level knight. Later, when the transaction amount increased, the Bronze Knight Robinson led the team.

The Silva Magic Chamber of Commerce has such a team at its branch in Muma City, and it is probably similar in other places.

If they were mobilized, they would indeed be a strong force as Lu Lans said.

"Then the mobilization time will be long enough." Luo Ning said.

“We are in no rush.”

Lu Lansi stroked his white beard, looking calm and composed.

"What I want is for the land in Black Python City to obey the orders of Wushanbao again. If Orson and his men do not want to go to war and destroy the Hyde family, they can use their lives or freedom in exchange for the continuation of the Hyde family."

If a real fight breaks out, no matter who wins or loses, there will be injuries.

If Orson and Barrington were willing to plead guilty and be punished, the marriage relationship between the Wushan family and the Hyde family could provide a way out for the descendants of the other family.

Of course, no matter what, the Hyde family will no longer be the masters of Black Python City.

Luo Ning approved of Lu Lans's approach.

To conquer the enemy without fighting, to take back Black Python City in a relatively peaceful manner and to abolish the earldom of Hyde family is a more appropriate choice from the perspective of Wushan Territory facing the surrounding powerful forces.

I just don’t know what choice Black Python City will make when Wushan Fort mobilizes?

Will Barrington come to Oshanburg?
