Start as Inherited Baroness

Mers led his men to the mountain pass, and Simon and others rode out of the camp to greet them.

"Viscount Simon! Where is His Highness Feddy?" He asked with a friendly smile.

"Maybe he hasn't come yet." Simon smiled.

"Well? Today is the deadline he agreed on, right?" Merles was also an honest man, and asked in surprise.

"Who knows, just wait, anyway, we arrived on time." Simon shook his head and smiled.

These civilians were awarded titles based on their ancestors' military exploits, so they were inevitably cautious and obedient.

After a few more greetings, they entered the camp together.

"It just so happens that the guards hunted a few deer, and it's rare for us to get together, so let's have a drink.

I brought some malt liquor, so just make do with it!" Simon greeted.

"Okay! Thank you for your hospitality, Lord Viscount! We, the old brothers who survived, will have to rely on you in the future.

If you have anything to do, just tell me. I will do it without hesitation..." Morse's mouth seemed to be covered with honey, and he kept talking.

"Hey, I was just lucky. As for the reason, don't you know? Let's help each other in the future..." Simon smiled and responded.

Afterwards, several people sat down in the big tent and drank malt wine. After a while, the guards brought the roasted venison and they ate it with relish.

When it was getting dark, another team came. After contact, it was found that it was Baron Taffman, who was also promoted by Marquis Val.

Simon warmly welcomed him into the big tent. At this point, the only four new nobles promoted by Marquis Val were all present.

Except Simon, Taffman had the highest military strength. It was said that he was a mercenary leader before he was conferred.

...

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, except for some caravans and refugees, no other noble army arrived.

Simon sent people to do ideological work on the refugees who passed by and led them to Yongyi.

In addition to the tax exemption for the first year, they could also receive a starting ration and labor tools.

On the morning of the fourth day, a relatively large army finally came from the north, with a double-headed eagle-shaped flag flying, and His Highness Fedi finally arrived.

Simon received Mailan's report as soon as possible, and then informed the other barons, all of whom walked out of the camp and lined up to greet him.

Da Da Da...

Prince Fedi wore a heavy armor with gold patterns and galloped on horseback, followed by a large number of cavalrymen. When they were close, the sound of horse hooves reverberated together, like a muffled thunder.

More than 2,000 cavalrymen didn't sound like a lot, and Simon thought so before, but now he saw the real scene and realized that he was wrong.

They were like sand grains blown by the wind, densely gathered together, forming a black torrent.

If such a cavalry team rushed into the battle without considering the cost of casualties, I am afraid that not many teams could resist it.

Prince Feddy ran up, dismounted, and strode towards Simon and others, followed by many heavily armored soldiers carrying large shields.

"Greetings, His Highness Feddy!" Everyone saluted.

"No need to be polite, you came on time, but I was a little slow. It's not easy to mobilize a large army, and it took some time to collect food and grass."

He smiled calmly.

"Your Highness, we are close and have fewer soldiers, so it is naturally much easier to move." Simon smiled.

"Yes, yes, your Highness's army is endless, which is really shocking..."

Moers and others also agreed.

After a few greetings, they welcomed Prince Feddy into the camp and entertained him with good wine and food.

The Oak Shield Guards immediately took over the nearby defense and controlled some important intersections in the camp.

......

Half a month later.

The barons who were summoned finally arrived one by one, and the garrison at Sanshankou increased, probably more than 30,000.

Although they were scolded by Prince Fedi, they were not punished too severely.

It was lifted up high and put down gently.

Seeing this, Simon shook his head secretly in his heart. He didn't know whether Earl Changxian could still hold on. It had been almost three months.

Maybe Changxian Castle had already fallen.

However, the sky fell and there were tall people to support it. All Simon could do was go with the flow and take some judgments and actions that were beneficial to him.

On this day, Prince Fedi summoned all the lords to a big tent.

"I received intelligence a few days ago that Changxian Castle was almost out of soldiers and food.

For some reason, the army of the Green Forest Brotherhood suddenly learned to make siege equipment, and now they are attacking every day at all costs.

Once Changxian Castle fell, we would be passive, so I decided to send cavalry first.

How many qualified cavalry do you have now?" Prince Fedi said.

After this, the lords looked at each other, and no one dared to speak first.

Soon, Prince Fedi looked at Simon.

"Your Highness, I have 67 cavalrymen in my headquarters, and I haven't counted the barons under my command yet, so I can at least gather another 100 or 200 cavalrymen."

Simon, as the only viscount present, pondered for a moment and said calmly.

Prince Feddy nodded, then looked at the next baron lord with a dignified look.

"Your Highness! I have only 17 cavalrymen, and 36 scouts riding traveling horses."

"Reporting to Your Highness, I have 32 cavalrymen and 48 scouts."

......

Not long after, everyone reported the number, and they could gather about 500 cavalrymen.

"Okay! Take the cavalry and follow me!

The rest of the infantry will be dispatched by Ravens Rooney, the commander of the Sword Legion, and march towards the Long Narrow Fort."

Everyone remained calm after hearing this.

Simon was also slightly shocked and thought to himself, "Is he going to swallow up our troops?"

If the armies of dozens of families are scattered and mixed together, it will be difficult to separate them again.

"Don't worry, each of you will choose a commander under your command to help you manage the soldiers, and they will not be mixed together."

Prince Fedi obviously saw the concerns of the lords and added.

"Yes! I am willing to obey the transfer order." A baron with a background in the West Hills spoke first.

"I will also follow your Highness's arrangements." Simon said.

After that, everyone agreed in turn.

"Okay, now the military situation is urgent and there is no time to lose. We will set off in two hours!

Everyone should carry three days of food." Prince Fedi saw this and nodded with satisfaction and ordered.

"Yes!" Everyone responded, then saluted, left the tent, and prepared to go.

Simon returned to his camp and immediately summoned all 21 barons under his command.

"Long Narrow Castle is about to fall, and Prince Fedi decided to rush to the rescue with cavalry first.

Now we have to gather all the cavalry and follow the action.

Each of you has at least a dozen cavalrymen, take them all and follow His Highness with me to the battle." Simon announced.

"My Lord Viscount, there are many mountains and jungles in Long Narrow Territory, which is not conducive to cavalry combat." Trodo frowned and asked.

"Go and tell His Highness Fedi about this, and see if he will chop off your head!" Simon said sternly.

Trodo's neck shrank and he said no more.
