Chapter 43: The Duke Who Wants to Rob and the Baron Alliance

On the training grounds, Sou Nan raised his eyebrows.

Other things might not matter, but if it affects his acquisition of ancient books, then those Bulgar nomads are just asking for trouble.

Whoever interferes with his exploration of magic will be unlucky.

The old butler Warwick even took out a letter from his pocket, which had the seal of the Salonica Latin Duke's family on it. "Young master, this is the second letter the Duke has sent you."

"He's writing to you at this time; I don't think it's a good thing."

Sou Nan had received the Duke's first letter before, but it was basically just basic greetings, trying to get close.

The Salonica Latin Duke was so arrogant that he didn't even explain his relationship with Gus Pasha.

In the letter, he only tried to talk to Sou Nan as a senior and a Duke.

However, Sou Nan didn't care much about this, so he didn't even reply to the letter.

He regarded the Duke as an ignorant person. People who walk different paths cannot make plans together. Anyway, they usually don't see each other, so Sou Nan directly ignored him.

Who knew that the Salonica Latin Duke would send a second letter at this time.

"Clean up the Bulgars nearby these few days. Just right, I need to test the actual combat data of several magic potions." Sou Nan looked at the letter in his hand, and after only reading a few lines, he became impatient.

In the letter, the Salonica Latin Duke actually tried to fool him, asking him to exploit Maple Leaf Town and provide him with 20,000 gold coins.

That way, he could avoid Bulgar attacks.

Because the Salonica Latin Duke could use his army, his Storm Knights, and his own strength as a Great Knight to ensure that the Bulgar tribes would not attack Maple Leaf Town.

The last sentence of the letter read: 'Dear Sou Nan, as one of your father's former friends and superiors, I want to remind you. Getting Maple Leaf Town may not be a good thing for you. Its wealth will attract the covetousness of the Bulgars, and you need a strong protector.'

Sou Nan threw the letter away on the spot, discarding it like trash.

Good heavens, when you encountered the Bulgars and their Grass King Kaloyan, you immediately became a turtle, not daring to leave the castle and fight others head-on.

Now, you still have the nerve to say in the letter that your strength can protect other territories…

Old butler Warwick asked Sou Nan. "Young master, how is it?"

"Did the Duke say anything to you in the letter?"

Sou Nan shook his head. "Nothing, just wasting my time."

"It's all useless nonsense."

The old butler smiled and didn't continue on this topic. "The Salonica Latin Duke is always greedy and wants more than he can chew."

"He always wastes his time on things he has no ability to obtain."

"But young master, the Bulgars come and go without a trace. They all ride horses from a young age. How can we find them?"

Sou Nan nodded. "I have a way. Bloom, you are responsible for this battle. I want to observe the actual combat power of the werewolf warriors."

Bloom immediately said: "Yes, Master."

At the same time, he was both excited and worried, worried that his performance would not be good enough and would disappoint Lord Sou Nan.

After learning about the Bulgar invasion, Sou Nan went to Maple Leaf Town the next day and, as the lord, forcibly opened the town council, and then let the town council quickly pass a decree.

That is, all friendly merchants and partners of Maple Leaf Town must hang the emblem representing the Peter family—a single-headed golden eagle—when they enter and leave Maple Leaf Town with their goods.

If anyone dares to attack a convoy with this emblem, it is equivalent to declaring war on the Peter Barony.

Although the town council of Maple Leaf Town felt that this decree might not be able to deal with the Bulgars, it was still Sou Nan's protection for them, so they were all very grateful.

Only Chairman Gus and others were not optimistic about this.

If it were other lords of the Storm Kingdom, they might still fall for this.

But those Bulgar nomads who believe in the Beast God don't care about legal matters.

At the same time, during this period, the lords of the two baronies surrounding the Peter Barony, the Simon Barony and the Frank Barony, had personally arrived at the Peter Barony, wanting to find Sou Nan to discuss how to deal with the Bulgars.

These two lords were really scared.

The Bulgars robbed wherever they went.

However, the Duke and the King of the Storm Kingdom are not in charge of things now.

The nobles with real power in the Storm Kingdom, those lords who are not on the Bulgar's route of advance, are all indifferent and stand idly by.

No one stood up to assemble a team to resist the invasion.

The entire Storm Kingdom was like a plate of loose sand, allowing Kaloyan the Grass King and his tribesmen to invade the Storm Kingdom.

It's just that Simon Baron and Frank Baron were always told that Sou Nan was doing experiments every time they came to find him.

For Sou Nan, dealing with the Bulgars was just a matter of convenience, so he didn't take it too seriously. Therefore, he refused to meet with them every time.

In the evening, Simon Baron and Frank Baron were rejected by Sou Nan for the third time. They could only angrily ride their warhorses and leave the Peter Barony together.

On the road, Frank Baron was extremely angry. He rode on the back of his horse and said to Simon Baron: "Maple Leaf Town is richer than all the villages and manors in my territory."

"Damn it, we're all anxious, but he's not anxious at all. I originally thought that he could get rid of Gus Pasha and was a promising young lord. But now it seems…"

"He wouldn't think that he could independently resist the Bulgar invasion with just one person and one territory, would he!"

Simon Baron comforted him: "Calm down, calm down. It's their own loss that the Peter Barony doesn't plan to join our alliance."

"At least now the surrounding baronies have basically united."

"The armies of our two baronies, plus the Doron territory, the combined armies of our three territories, should be enough to protect ourselves."

Simon Baron comforted him: "Although Frank Territory is on the front line even more than Peter Territory, don't worry. We won't let you be attacked by the Bulgars."

Frank Baron snorted coldly. He was so anxious because if the Bulgars attacked, the first to be attacked would definitely be Frank Territory.

Because Peter Barony is behind Frank Territory.

Therefore, under his leadership, he came to the Peter family's castle several times, wanting to pull Sou Nan into the alliance together.

After all, in his opinion, Sou Nan was able to suddenly get rid of Gus Pasha half a year ago, so the military power he has in his hands should not be small.

Frank Baron said: "If the Bulgars bypass my territory and attack Maple Leaf Town and Peter Territory, I don't care."

Simon Baron smiled and said: "Since Sou Nan is so short-sighted and unwilling to ally with us, then of course we won't go to rescue his territory."
