Chapter 217 - 209: Invasion of the Dillon Kingdom?
Chapter 217: Chapter 209: Invasion of the Dillon Kingdom?
Glancing at Rashid, who had nearly lost half of his life lying on one side, Lis hadn’t expected this fellow to be so brave.
He had only set up an Early Warning Spell before dealing with the Nether River Memory Stealer because he knew there were Protection Magic enchantments on the carriage.
It wasn’t that Lis’s considerations were insufficient, in his view, it was just an accident.
The kind of person who would make the convoy’s Manager Roque not dare to interfere must know the meaning of the emblem on the carriage.
If someone didn’t know what that emblem represented, Roque would definitely not allow them to get close to the carriage.
Who knew there would be a genius like Rashid!
...
But for Lis, it seemed to have no impact; after all, it looked like neither Cress nor Liz had been exposed.
Especially from the attitude of this man claiming to be the steward of Count Solo, Lis actually felt he seemed very afraid of him.
Am I now so impressive that I’m directly pressing a powerful Real Sealed Earl to bow his head and swallow the frustration of a missing daughter-in-law?
Lis stroked his chin, feeling somewhat amused.
Looking at Ignos, who was still bending over, Lis said indifferently,
“Since it’s a misunderstanding, then it’s all right.”
He then pointed to Rashid lying on the ground and added,
“Take this fellow away, he’s annoying to look at.”
“As for Count Solo, I shall visit when the opportunity arises. I’ve long heard of the formidable reputation of the Wild Boar Family.”
The Wild Boar Family is actually a nickname for Count Solo’s Family, not an insult to Count Solo.
The combat power of a wild boar is very strong, and it ranks just below lions, tigers, and bears among ordinary wild beasts.
The Solo family’s emblem is a wild boar, symbolizing strength, tenacity, and ferocity!
Hearing Lis’s words, Ignos silently breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed that Marquis Kane didn’t seem to want to hold him accountable, but his attitude towards Rashid was very harsh.
And the words just now?
This Marquis seemed to be extending a bit of goodwill towards Lord Count Solo, didn’t he?
“Thank you for your mercy and magnanimity!”
Ignos bowed again, then respectfully said,
“I won’t disturb you any longer, we will take our leave now.”
After that, Ignos led his people, carrying the unconscious Rashid, and hurriedly left the convoy.
Before leaving, Ignos pulled Roque aside to say a few words, then nodded his thanks before departing.
Watching these people hastily fleeing the scene, Lis shook his head.
What was all this about?
“Lord Lis!”
Roque came over and said in a low voice,
“Ignos asked me about the convoy’s direction for after they left.”
“Really?”
“The convoy will head to Count Kulo’s territory after passing the next small city, roughly in five days.”
“Alright, I got it.”
Lis nodded, indicating that he understood.
Seeing that Lis got his point, Roque didn’t say more and left to organize the convoy’s continued advancement.
The rest of the convoy stayed quite distant, unaware of what had happened, with only a few mercenaries looking rather troubled.
Lis paid no attention to the gazes of others but fell into thought for a moment.
What he said to Ignos was not false; he was indeed quite familiar with Count Solo.
Unlike with Viscount Kuka, it was not some special side quest.
It wasn’t just another plotline, but the main storyline “All-Out War” within Count Solo’s Territory was the Feis Kingdom’s Northern Kingdom’s front line against the invasion of the Dillon Kingdom.
Yes, all the lands to the north of Count Solo’s Territory had fallen during the first wave of the Dillon Kingdom’s invasion.
Just as Bodich did not anticipate that the Feis Kingdom would truly dare to invade, the nobles in the northern territory of the Feis Kingdom also lacked preparation to face the aggression of the Dillon Kingdom.
Even the territories of the largest nobles in the Northern Territory, Duke Mota and Duke Helta, didn’t hold out for long.
It was only when the armies of the Dillon Kingdom advanced into Count Solo’s Territory that they finally stopped in the face of Count Solo’s desperate resistance.
The armies of the Feis Kingdom finally arrived at Count Solo’s Territory at this time and both nations engaged in a protracted standoff and slaughter.
Feis Kingdom paid a considerable price to drive the army of the Dillon Kingdom out of the Northern Kingdom.
Lis had also arrived at Count Solo’s Territory during that time in his past life.
The main task of version 2.0 at that time was to choose to join any human kingdom on the Fanor Continent and participate in the warfare between kingdoms.
Back then, Lis’s choice was to come to the battlefield in the Northern Kingdom.
That being said, the Dillon Kingdom must be secretly preparing for an invasion war against the Feis Kingdom now as well.
The Dillon Kingdom, as one of the human kingdoms in the northernmost part of the Fanor Continent, was only connected to the Reid Kingdom to the west and the Feis Kingdom to the rest of their borders.
To the east and north of the Dillon Kingdom lay the vast snowy plains of the Northern Territory, a paradise for various magic beasts, not suitable for the average human survivor.
Even so, the living environment in the Dillon Kingdom can’t be said to be very good, as most of the year is harsh winter.
Because of the presence of the Luoxue Mountain Range, which blocks most of the severe cold, the environment of the Feis Kingdom is much more favorable.
This is also the reason the Dillon Kingdom chose to invade Feis Kingdom, for that land bathed in sunlight!
Lis took note of the Dillon Kingdom’s invasion and thought that it might be appropriate to make some preparations in advance.
As for the two dukes further north, better not bother with them.
Perhaps because of the presence of the Luoxue Mountain Range, they seem to have never worried about the invasion by the Dillon Kingdom; their territories lack fortified cities and strongholds.
That was the reason they quickly fell in his past life.
Even if Lis shared the intelligence of the Dillon Kingdom’s invasion now, it probably wouldn’t change anything.
Compared to that, Count Solo’s Territory is in a much more advantageous position, at the heart of the Northern Kingdom, where support from the kingdom can arrive more swiftly.
The strength of Count Solo’s Territory is also quite formidable.
Under the leadership of that Count Solo, the trained armies and solid walls became the shield against the invasion of the Dillon Kingdom.
It may be a good opportunity to convey the news of the Dillon Kingdom’s impending invasion to Count Solo and the few in Bright City.
If Lis remembered correctly, the Dillon Kingdom had a special intelligence outpost right within Count Solo’s Territory.
This could be a great opportunity!
One can’t always bring up the Prophet for everything; having solid evidence can also make the Feis Kingdom more convinced and prepared.
They’ll address it upon reaching Count Solo’s Territory.
Lis shook his head and then boarded his coach.
“It’s nothing.”
Lis glanced at Liz and Cress, who were wearing thin pajamas, shrugged, and said.
“I’ve caused you trouble, Lord Lis,” said Cress after a moment’s hesitation.
She had seen everything that happened under the coach, and now she realized she might have encountered a significant figure.
“Since I promised you, I will naturally keep my word,” Lis waved his hand and said.
“This should be the end of it; Count Kuka and Count Solo probably won’t pursue it any further.”
“When there’s nothing to do, the two of you could also get off the coach and look around.”
“Thank you,” Liz said softly, her pale pink eyes staring intensely at Lis, as if trying to etch his face into her memory.
