Lord: Taken away from inheritance at the beginning.

It is public knowledge that the King of Tamriel has died and His Royal Highness has assumed the throne.

Over the years, after the truce between Alduin and Tricia, they have also had business dealings.

So the news quickly spread to the Kingdom of Alduin, and the first person to know it was Garet of Red Pine Keep.

After all, the spies stationed there by the kingdom would always pass on first-hand information to him.

"This is an opportunity!"

Garrett's mood became very excited. He had made preliminary preparations in the past few days and was looking for a reason to take the initiative to start a war.

He didn't expect that the other party would give him a reason, and this reason was so reliable.

After all, when the previous king dies and the new king takes the throne, there is often a period of turmoil, and this is when the border is most likely to be the site of a war.

"Matt, go and make arrangements immediately. Have the leaders of Twin Peaks Canyon, West Wind Hill, Gray Valley, Black Jade Bay, and other locations come to Red Pine Castle immediately. Make sure they arrive tonight. I have important military operations planned!"

The key personnel at each point of the border defense line have flying mounts, so it is indeed convenient to summon them if there is an important combat operation.

Soon, a griffin rider landed on West Wind Hill, bringing Garet's call.

After sending the messenger away, Redal realized that the clarion call of war had already sounded.

He couldn't help but look at the Watchtower on the opposite bank. Placido had personnel transfers and training plans in the past two days, and it seemed that he was planning to defend the Watchtower to the death.

Although Redal admired their courage, without new assistance, defeat would still await Viscount Placido.

"grown ups!"

Odoro walked into the camp hall, "We caught a mysterious man in the West Mountain. He said he wanted to see the Marquis."

"who?"

Odoro said, "It was a woman with a black veil on her face. I didn't see her face."

Riedal was a little confused. There was no city nearby. Who would come here to look for the lord?

And the gender is female.

"Bring her here, and tell Tom to come and see me."

Because there were many things to deal with in Moonlight Valley and Ronin also had his own industrial plans to take care of, he did not stay in West Wind Hill all the time.

However, in order to facilitate communication, he asked his personal bodyguard Tom to stay in West Wind Hill.

With the griffins, it only takes an hour or two to get from West Wind Hill to Moonlight Valley.

"Commander, you're looking for me!"

Tom arrived quickly. Now he was not only Ronin's personal bodyguard, but also the captain of a team of knights. The immaturity on his face had long faded away, and with the help of potions, his strength was enhanced, and he became a high-level knight.

To be honest, with his salary, he naturally couldn't buy many potions used by intermediate knights.

However, Roning took special care of this group of old subordinates. He sold some of them at a special price and also introduced a "loan"-like form to give them the opportunity to buy more.

"Red Pine Castle has sent a call for war, which means war is coming. You must convey this news to the Marquis immediately."

Tom nodded solemnly, "I understand, let's go now."

At this moment, Odoro and several knights brought in the mysterious woman, who indeed had her face covered with a black veil.

Rydar waved his hand, "Except Tom, everyone else please leave."

Since the other party is unwilling to reveal his true face, he naturally doesn't want more people to see it.

The woman gave Tom a look that seemed to suggest that this man had better get out, too.

Rydar explained: "This is the Marquis' personal guard, Knight Tom, you can rest assured."

While speaking, he looked closely into the other person's eyes.

Although he had never seen these eyes before, he had some vague guesses about the other party's identity.

"Ok."

The masked woman pulled off the veil on her face, revealing a pretty but pale and tired face.

"Hello, Commander Redar. I am Melis Carmen, the younger sister of Viscount Placido of Netherfort. I came here to discuss something with the Marquis."

The corners of Redar's mouth curled up slightly. He was just thinking about the matters of Watchtower, but he didn't expect that the other party would come over.

"Please take a seat, Ms. Melissa!"

Ridar gestured, then said, "I'm sorry, the Marquis is not in the camp at the moment. If you want, you can wait here. He should be here tomorrow at the latest."

"Of course, if you are in a hurry, you can also tell us your ideas and we will convey them to you truthfully."

Melissa groaned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I forced myself to use the 'Earth Walk' spell scroll. It consumed a lot of energy, so I wanted to recover here for a while."

"So, I'll wait for Marquis Roning to come over."

Some things are better for her to say directly.

Rydar didn't ask any more questions. "Tom, you can leave now. Remember to tell the adults about this."

"it is good!"

Tom nodded and immediately set off for Moonlight Valley.

"Ms. Melis, I have other things to do here, so I will not accompany you for now."

Rydar stood up and said, "You can rest here. If you need anything, you can just call the guards outside for help."

Melissa is indeed quite tired now, and as Placido's sister, she has come to the camp, so Nethergarde should not have any intention of taking the initiative to attack.

That's why Riedal left the camp with peace of mind.

"As you please."

Melissa didn't ask any more questions. She just said something politely, then sat there quietly and began to meditate and recover.

After giving some instructions, Redal rode on the griffin to Red Pine Castle.

Although his last experience at Red Pine Castle was somewhat unpleasant, he was not worried at all that he would be harassed again this time.

Because before leaving, he first went to Grey Valley, which was the camp under the charge of Wushan Lord.

This place got its name from the fact that it is home to broad-leaved trees with gray bark.

Melonica is now in charge of the Grey Valley camp.

After several joint combat experiences, the two became quite familiar with each other.

Sure enough, Melonica also received the message.

The two were not in a hurry. They talked for a while. Melonica also asked a few questions about cultivation before they set off.

By the time the two arrived at Red Pine Castle, many nobles had already gathered there.

Apart from the two Silver Moon-class warriors, Gushan and Yug, whom Redal met last time, the most eye-catching one was the hook-nosed, somewhat feminine-looking man, Ibn Tolansi.

As the leader of the Royal Griffin Knights, the Earl of Shuangfengling, this young man had already approached the Prideful Sun level many years ago.

In addition to him, there are also old Viscount Willis who controls the black jade ore that can be used to make extraordinary weapons, the commander of the Duke of Vargis's Knights, and Mogaro of the Screaming Island and many other Meteor Knights.

"Since everyone is here, I won't delay any longer."

Garrett strode into the fortress hall, glanced around, and frowned slightly, "Marquis Ronin is not here again?"

Rydar stood up and said, "The Marquis has returned to Moonlight Valley. He is not directly involved in the current war."

Other nobles don’t have to come to the front line, and Ronin can do the same.

Everyone couldn't help but look at Ridar, they all knew that this young man was also a Knight of the Prideful Sun.

Although he is not of noble status, he is very important.

This time, Garrett did not show any anger. He just nodded calmly and said, "Since he is not here, you can tell him."

As he spoke, he took out the letter and handed it to Gu Shan beside him.

"According to the latest information, King Tamriel of the Kingdom of Tricia has passed away, and his son Tyro has inherited the throne. This country has just experienced a rebellion in the principality, and now the king has passed away for unknown reasons. It will definitely experience a period of turmoil."

Garrett shouted: "Now is the best time for us to send troops!"

As he spoke, he looked at Gu Shan who was reading the letter, and then continued:

"My father, King Alduin V, has appointed me as the commander-in-chief of the front line, Gushan as the deputy commander, and Marquis Ronin as the military advisor. This is his letter."

Although Gu Shan found it a little strange, the handwriting was indeed that of His Majesty Bruno, and it also had the private seal of the kingdom and the king.

"Your Highness is right. That is indeed the case."

He handed the letter to Ibn beside him, and passed it to Redar and Melonica one by one.

Not only did it mention the appointment, it also allowed Garrett to take the initiative at the right time, and specifically asked him to put aside his pride and listen to the opinions and suggestions of Gushan, Roning, Iben and others.

Iben said, "It is now the beginning of September. In three months, the winter snow will cover the Misty City. So if we want to take the initiative to attack, it is best to do so before December."

Garrett looked at his brother-in-law, "So, you agree with my decision?"

"Of course!"

Ibn smiled and said, "We have been preparing for nearly a year and can start the war at any time."

Viscount Willis of Heiyuwan stroked his beard and said, "This is indeed a good opportunity. I have no objection."

The territories of these two people are both on the border, and they have the need and motivation to expand outward. After preparing for a long time, they naturally hope to start the war as soon as possible.

"What does Earl George think?"

Garrett turned his gaze to Duke Varghese's commander.

George hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "I agree."

"Where is Viscount Mogaro?"

Garrett asked the heads of these major families one by one.

Without exception, they all agreed.

"Rydar, although Ronin is not here, since he has given you full authority to represent him, you can concurrently serve as the military advisor before he comes."

Garrett's voice lost its arrogance, as if he had changed his attitude. "So, what do you think?"

Rydar hesitated for a moment.

This war was planned, so there is nothing strange about launching it.

Now it is indeed as Count Iben said, if we don’t fight in the next three months, we will have to wait until next year.

From Ronin's perspective, he also needed to take advantage of the war to recruit the talents in Watchtower.

Rydar nodded: "I agree."

Garrett's mouth curled up. Although he forged the letter, as he expected, it did not arouse anyone's suspicion because it had been arranged this way all these years.

Moreover, the feeling of no one opposing him was intoxicating to him.
