Master Overlord - Chapter 383

When Arthur’s reply was delivered to windbreak castle, another two days passed.

“Damn boy, he’s trying to cut himself off in the North!”

In the study, after reading the reply, the Duke patted the letter paper directly on the table and said angrily to the bachelor: “three conditions, the damn boy didn’t agree to any of them! And the campes family also found an excuse to refuse to send troops! Do these bastards want to rebel out of the North? After cleaning up the wild people, they should clean up these traitors together!”

In recent days, there were an endless stream of letter birds over Fengxi castle. Almost all the people and horses in the north were mobilized, but only four places refused to send troops.

Among them, the letters sent to the green and Davidson families directly sank into the sea, and there was no news. One of the tustra and campes families did not mention sending troops, and the other refused to send troops because their territory was seriously damaged and could only provide 5000 gold coins as support.

The Duke had expected the reaction of green and the Davidson family, and milt campes didn’t care much. Only Lingfeng castle, Arthur tustra reluctantly agreed to only one of the three conditions he clearly put forward, and agreed to take 50000 feather arrows on credit to the kewilt family!

“Sir, now we are short of arrows. It’s good that Lingfeng castle can provide 50000 feather arrows.” the bachelor persuaded, “and if they are allowed to participate in the war, it’s estimated that they will cause a lot of trouble, especially the Marquis Barrett.”

“Hum! It doesn’t matter if milt doesn’t come. The men and horses in his hands are dispensable, but Arthur tustra not only refuses to lead the troops south, but also refuses to lend weapons. Can he really be a river leader and be independent of the north?”

With that, the Duke glanced at pace and Eugenie, who were reading letters. He also knew that it was not time to clean up shangheling and the other two families, so he looked at the bachelor and continued to ask, “what about the west? How can we return their news?”

The troops in the West were the most important, but it was the fifth day. He sent the news to the farit family, but he had not received a reply.

With Jenny casting a hesitant look from one side, the bachelor explained: “Sir, there is really no… Maybe they are discussing the specific matters of sending troops. After all, this is not a small matter.”

“They are so slow!” the Duke frowned and complained.

Up to now, the only messages he sent that did not receive a reply were the court, the west, the green and the Davidson family. According to the news from the front, the wild people should enter the territory of the Davidson family in five or six days at most.

“There must be news from the West soon,” said the bachelor.

“I hope they can get as fast as possible. Anyway, 10000 knights should be able to come up with it. After all, the wild people are going for them!”

In his letter to the farit family, Duke kewilt asked the west to gather at least 30000 soldiers, of which the number of knights should not be less than half, but he knew very well that it was impossible for the west to send so many troops to fight.

Although the western border is rich, its geographical area and population are far less than the other three borders of the kingdom. Moreover, in order to cope with the possible war launched by the Gaoting Kingdom, they still have to leave enough people for defense.

But the negotiation was like this. He left enough time for the west to make the other party agree to his later requirements. Such as exempting the northern nobles from their debts, being responsible for all war expenses, and returning all war profits to the Northern Territory.

Chaos means opportunity, and Duke kewilt believes it!

He not only wanted to defeat the wild people, but also used the war to clean up all kinds of accumulated disadvantages in the north, such as the relationship with the court, the debts of the feudal ministers, the two traitors in the East, and so on.

While the Duke was talking with the bachelor and the bodyguard, pace suddenly exclaimed after reading the reply, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the room.

“Worthy of Lord Arthur!”

Hearing pace’s exclamation, the Duke wrinkled and said, “I said, don’t call that boy your excellency. You are my son and should be proud of the kewilt family! The boy has refused to send troops and won’t lend even a few bows and arrows. You should understand that his closeness to you is not out of friendship!”

The Duke had also expected Arthur’s refusal, and the letter, which was written in a serious and commanding tone, was intentional.

He expected that Arthur tustra could not fully agree with his request. Therefore, his previous anger was partly due to his dissatisfaction with Arthur’s failure to follow a command, and partly to educate pace.

No matter how Lingfeng Castle replied to him, he would use this reply to cut off pace’s almost worship for Arthur tustra!

But the Duke’s little trick is obviously going to miscalculate.

After a little calmness, pace immediately got up from his chair, stepped forward quickly, and put the letter paper in his hand in front of the Duke.

“Father, look at this!” pace said excitedly. “This is Lord Arthur’s reply to me. We must change the battle plan, or we will have big trouble! This reply alone is worth 10000…”

“Bang!”

Before pace could finish, the angry Duke of kewilt clapped his hand on the oak desk, and the thunderous noise made everyone tremble.

“Damn it, have you been kicked in the head by a horse!” the Duke stood up angrily and shouted at pace in front of him. “Or are you deaf and didn’t hear what I just said! I said, don’t call the boy adult. He completely chose to stand by and watch the war related to the North! Look, look!”

Then the Duke grabbed Arthur’s reply and threw it in pace’s face.

“I tell you, no matter what reason he has, unless Shanghe collar disappears from the north, his current behavior is a betrayal of the whole North!”

“Father, why don’t you take a look first…”

“Shut up!” the Duke interrupted pace, who was trying to speak, and continued to scold, “what did you just say, changing the battle plan? Are you crazy! With that boy’s letter paper, you are going to change the plan related to the whole North! Pace, you disappoint me!”

The Duke’s words deeply touched pace, especially his disappointed and angry eyes, which could not help but remind him of all kinds of painful memories in the past.

When pace was silent, Eugenie hurried up from behind him and pushed the angry Duke back to his chair. Jenny followed and came forward to hold her husband’s palm.

“Father, what time is it? You are still angry with your brother,” Eugenie said coyly, glancing at the letter paper on the table.

“Master Beaumont, could you please read this reply for all of us? Just because this reply has destroyed my father’s mood, it is not a small matter, especially at this moment. If it is full of nonsense, we have reason to doubt whether the count tustra has made any deal with the wild people!”

“OK.”

The bachelor readily agreed to Eugenie’s request, immediately picked up the letter paper on the desk and read it in front of the people.
