Start as Inherited Baroness

More than ten minutes had passed since the first wave of attacks, and the second round followed.

Looking at the flag, the ones coming up this time are elites, probably the army of a certain noble.

Simon took a few glances and knew immediately that he was the Earl of Skinning Castle in the North Wind Land. He was quite powerful and had a territory of tens of thousands of square kilometers.

They pushed some siege equipment and launched a roaring charge. There was no new trick.

"Heh, what a fueling tactic?" Simon thought to himself.

At present, some flaming stones are thrown near the Gate Gate Fortress from time to time, and the enemy's catapults begin to operate against the attack.

The gryphon knights took turns to take off, but they could only bring twenty fire pots each time, so the firepower was a bit sparse.

The two sides launched a war of attrition.

In a flash, it was dusk, the sky was filled with sunset, and the setting sun was like blood.

The gated fortress remained motionless, as solid as a rock, and the smell of blood and burnt food lingered under the walls.

The North Wind army retreated again, leaving tens of thousands of corpses behind.

"Your Excellency, they have withdrawn." Urrit came to the watchtower and reported.

Simon asked calmly: "How many soldiers were lost?"

"More than two thousand people were killed. They rushed to the city twice, but we suppressed them both times."

Yurit's body is still clean. As the commander of the legion, he has not yet gone out to fight in person.

“Good, keep defending.

In the evening, soldiers from the central guard corps will be mobilized to guard, and tomorrow the vanguard corps will be on top... The four corps will take turns. "

Simon gave the order with a calm expression.

"Yes!" Yurit responded immediately, and then went to inform the arrangements.

The sun sets and night falls.

During the night, the North Wind Army did not launch an attack.

It wasn't until the early morning of the next day that ant-like soldiers rushed over again pushing siege equipment.

They killed tens of thousands of soldiers yesterday, but they still refused to give up and came back again.

Moreover, the troops participating in the siege today were obviously more elite, with a high armor rate, and no militiamen were recruited to supplement them.

Seeing this, Simon shook his head slightly. At this level, it would be impossible for the Beifeng army to conquer the pass.

After a day of fierce fighting, corpses lay in front of the city wall, blocking the passages.

The coalition of nobles in the North Wind region went into battle one after another, engaging in wheel battles, but in the end they were all defeated.

However, several of the noble armies were particularly ferocious and rushed to the top of the city. Ulrit used heavy armor to drive them off.

Today's battle losses were much higher than yesterday. More than 3,000 people were killed, close to 4,000.

The losses of the Beifeng Army were also greater, with more than 10,000 people killed in battle and mourning all over the land.

In the coalition tent, all the nobles took turns going into battle, but they all suffered considerable losses. Their faces were stiff and expressionless.

“Your Majesty the King, this Gate Fortress is extremely strong and the terrain is difficult to conquer.

Moreover, Archduke Simon had already received the news and came here to take charge, presumably with enough soldiers.

I am afraid that even if all the hundreds of thousands of people we lead are dead, we will not be able to capture the city. "

A burly earl with a vicissitudes of life stood up and loudly remonstrated.

"Can you find some paths to go around?" King Treya asked with a calm face and a very unwilling tone.

“Your Majesty the King, there are mountains everywhere in the Red Rock Mountains, and this valley is the easiest to pass.

Even if some trails could be explored, there would be no way for the army to pass through. Without supplies of food and supplies, it would be a dead end. "

Another count with a gloomy and thin face answered the call. This man was the current patriarch of Skinning Castle.

This family is powerful in the North Wind Land, second only to the Leodo family. It is known for being vicious and vicious, and is fond of skinning people.

A hundred years ago, these two families often fought for dominance in the North Wind Land.

However, after losing the battle in Skinning Fort and almost annihilating the clan, they became more honest and became quite powerful in these years.

"The Huolun family in West Sedi has become a climate, and I'm afraid it's no longer easy to attack at this time.

It's better to make good friends first and see what happens next.

The orcs in the northern wilderness are watching eagerly, and there will always be opportunities in the future. "A civil servant with white beard and hair also gave timely advice.

This person is Treya's confidant, his name is Sakya Kel, and he is named Hand of the King of the North Wind Kingdom.

"Well, I'm afraid Duke Simon won't give up now."

Treya immediately borrowed the donkey from the slope, and his eyes actually contained a trace of unknown joy.

Sakya said: "We can retreat to the Red Rock Fortress, I don't think he will lead his troops to pursue us.

If he really dared to attack, he would be able to consume the troops of West Sedi. "

The nobles discussed for a while and reached a unanimous decision to retreat. This time, the war to capture the West Side ended hastily.

The nobles of the North Wind lost nearly 30,000 people and gained nothing.

Simon also lost five or six thousand soldiers, but it acted as a deterrent, and it was considered the first battle to gain a foothold.

He stayed at Gate Gate Fortress for more than half a month and was relieved to see that the noble coalition in the North Wind region had disbanded.

After waiting for another half month, it was discovered that there were only more than 10,000 defenders in the Red Rock Fortress, and they began to think of seizing the barrier.

But after careful consideration, I gave up.

Once he captures the Red Rock Fortress, he can drive straight into the North Wind Land, and the nobles such as the Orledo family will never let him go.

That would surely spark a big fight, and both sides would have to do their best.

Despite his efforts, Simon still lacks foundation and needs some time to develop.

Although the Western Cedi is not as vast as the North Wind Land, the soil is more fertile and has greater potential.

Simon led the Valiant Guard Corps back to Valiant City, and the Central Guard Corps returned to Morningstar City to take charge.

The vanguard corps and rearguard corps chose two baronies to station their fields near the Gate Gate Fortress.

Since Simon became the Duke, the number of people in the team column has doubled, and now there are more than 60,000 people.

The experience gained by these people will be shared with him.

So Simon is gaining experience much faster now.

This defensive battle, coupled with the accumulation of the previous days, finally reached another level.

He did not hesitate to add it to the natural godhead. This skill reached level 14, and his divine power was even more powerful.

However, there was still no breakthrough, and this matter could not be rushed. Simon could only restrain his temper and accumulate experience.

He stayed with his wife and lovers for several days.

On this day, Simon was reading books in the study, and Gallente announced outside the door: "Your Excellency, Edora from the expedition team is here to pay my respects.

It is said that he explored a ruins and gained some treasures, which he wants to present to you. "

When Simon heard this, he was slightly startled, then smiled and said: "Bring him here."

"Yes! Sir!"

After a while, the dusty Edora was brought in.

"Greetings to the Duke!" This man bowed respectfully as he entered the room, his mage robes spotless.

"Sit down, I heard you found something good?"

Simon smiled slightly and looked him over.

“We explored several ruins, but most were of no value.

Only one found a lot of magic items.

You see, this green pendant is full of magic and should be a relic of some kind of forest elf. "

Edora said as he took out an emerald green necklace. The gems on it were shining with a faint light, which looked very extraordinary.
