Lord: Taken away from inheritance at the beginning.

Moore City.

McKen led the Knights of Sanborn and cooperated with the troops of Misty City to capture this large enemy city near the border with almost zero casualties.

At this time, they had captured the lord's castle and stood on the highest tower of the castle, overlooking the entire outline of the city below the mountain.

The city is located on the main road from Dragon City to the border fog city.

Whether in wartime or peacetime, there is never a shortage of merchant teams passing through here to reach the Misty City, which has boosted the economy of the City of Moore and made this baronial city wealthy.

If nothing else, the urban population of over 100,000 proves everything.

"Although I heard that the economy of Moore City is not bad, this castle is still a little bit lacking. It is more than one level lower than the Misty Castle."

Ridal nodded with a smile. As a supporting role, he did not contribute much in this war, which gave McKen a chance.

"After all, the Misty City is the focus of contention between the two countries. It was a big city during the Imperial Era. Ural is also a border earl, so his castle is naturally more magnificent than this one."

As a surrenderer who was more familiar with the enemy situation, Sanborn also explained the reasons.

It turned out that the Baron of Moore City had been oppressed by Count Ural for a long time.

Although the city's economy was good, the agreement signed during its early development was very unfriendly to Baron Moore, which also resulted in a lot of money falling into Count Ural's pocket.

The few of them chatted about the situation in Moore City for a while, and Redal began to make arrangements for the next step.

"Placido, take your men to occupy the surrounding villages tomorrow. I see that the agricultural economy of Moor City is good, and there are many farmlands outside the city. All of these must be harvested intact.

This is your first time to act alone, remember to tell your soldiers not to harm the people, destroy their houses, or plunder their property. These are all matters of concern to the adults, so don't be confused! "

"I understand Commander!"

Placido said solemnly.

Ever since joining Ronin's army, Placido has been somewhat surprised as to how Ronin's army managed not to rob at will?

You know, in previous wars, whenever the noble army conquered a place, it would basically bring about chaos for a period of time.

Plundering property, robbing women, and killing people at will were common occurrences.

It was the first time he had seen an army as disciplined as Roning's. Not only did they not destroy things at will, they would even lend a helping hand when some civilians were injured.

At first Placido didn't understand: were they here to fight or to do good?

However, as he understood Roning's governance strategy in the territory, he roughly understood it.

It turned out that the Duke regarded all the conquered places as his own territory, and the people living there were all his subjects.

In order to restore order and production in the territory as soon as possible, we should do as little as possible of those things that are simply poison to quench thirst.

After all, the amount of money that an ordinary tenant farmer or even a civilian family could have was not as much as the reward Roning gave after the war.

"McKen, take your men to interrogate the surrendered nobles. Keep the useful ones and take the rest as captives. Also, arrange for someone to count the population of Moore City and maintain law and order here."

Mikan grinned, "Okay, leave it to me!"

Unfortunately, Tom's griffin appeared outside the castle. After seeing Ridal and others, he immediately landed.

"Commander, you guys are really fast. I didn't expect that in just over ten days, Moore City has already been captured!"

As Ronin's personal bodyguard, Tom's strength is not high, but his status is not low.

Riedal smiled and said, "Moore City doesn't have much defensive power, so it won't take much effort to take it down. You came here suddenly this time. Does the Duke have something to tell you?"

"Ok!"

He took out the letter that Carolina had sent to Wubei Territory from his bosom, "Commander-in-chief, the Duke asked McKen to return to Zilei Territory to cooperate with Petro and Melonica and others in Wushan Territory to launch an attack on the Principality of Vera."

McKen, who was about to go on a mission, suddenly had a look in his eyes and asked in surprise, "Are we going to go to war with the Principality of Vera?"

Tom nodded. "Yes, Duke Andrea betrayed the kingdom and conspired with Garrett to murder the Duke, his wife, and Elrond. He was eventually killed by the Duke."

Rydar raised his eyebrows. "Your Excellency dared to kill even the Duke. This shows that something very big has happened in the capital. Tom, tell us what news you have."

Placido was a little shocked. In his opinion, Ronin was really brave. He even killed people at the Duke's command.

But what Tom said next completely stunned him.

Not to mention Placido, even Redar and McKen were shocked. In just over ten days, so many earth-shaking events happened in the capital.

"Duke Ronin is actually a legend!"

It was not until this moment that Placido learned this information, and he felt a little excited.

He actually became a follower of a legendary powerful man. It was really wise for him to surrender at the beginning!

"Sir Tom, is the Duke now the King of the Kingdom of Alduin?" Placido asked quickly.

"That's not true."

Tom said respectfully, "Your Excellency has always kept his promises. Even though His Majesty Bruno is dead, Your Excellency still fulfills his duties as the Conqueror Duke. He will follow the agreement with His Majesty and establish his own country after conquering Dragon City!"

Tom's eyes were full of admiration as he spoke.

This is the throne. As long as the Duke wants, he can definitely sit on it.

But he gave up. What kind of courage does it take?

He was determined to be a man who kept his promises. No, he wanted to use the Duke's deeds to teach his children and let his descendants become such people as well.

"Your Excellency the Duke's courage makes me surrender!" Placido also praised.

Rydar and McKeon both nodded in unison.

"Since the Lord insists on fulfilling his promise, we as followers must also work hard to take down Dragon City as soon as possible!"

Rydar's words refreshed everyone.

"McKen, you've always said that you have a lot of energy but nowhere to use it. Now the Lord is transferring you back to Purple Thunder Territory. I guess you will be in charge of the battle line in the east from now on. Don't let the Lord down!"

Mikan nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, Commander. I won't let you down!"

He rubbed his hands and said, "I have been looking forward to going to war with the Principality of Vera for a long time. Finally, I can show my strength!"

Rydar also laughed. "I will advance steadily southward. Then we'll see whether I take down Dragon City first or you take down Duke Andrea's castle first."

After hearing this, McCann's motivation increased by another 30%.

We must capture a city and not lose a city.

The time spent on siege is far less than the time needed to deal with a series of subsequent affairs after conquering the city. After all, it also involves the rest of the soldiers, the selection of city government personnel, the arrangement of government affairs, the expansion of the army, public security management, and so on.

Riedal captured the city of Moore today. If he wants to continue advancing southward, it will probably take at least one or two months.
