When Ronan led the troops to arrive, Meryses and Trezeguet had already taken the territory, and the surrounding lords also discovered the Ronan army who had sneaked in and made a surprise attack, and immediately moved to the west of Jianmen Fort. Leon, who lives in a marquis on the side, sent information.

With more and more soldiers delivering letters and more and more carrier pigeons, Merysses and Jackson finally couldn't stop them. Leon, who was resting, received a surprise attack from Ronan and had already broken through the one occupying the border. Territory.

At this time, Leon was drinking suffocating wine on the stone table in the center of his house and talking to his confidants.

As soon as they arrived in the east, the nobles who had been fighting with Leon wanted to retire and return to their hometowns immediately, but they were held back by Leon and Ronan might pursue him, but Ronan recharged his energy. These two months have made those eastern nobles a little relaxed, except for a few nobles in the border.

Those nobles who want to take their troops to Leon can't stop it, because there is a clear rule in Gaoling that the monarch is not allowed to recruit nobles to join the army during non-war periods, so they can't say too much if they want to evacuate Leon. After all, maintaining the troops requires A lot of money and energy, and the monarch will not pay for the nobles, so those nobles are naturally unwilling to continue to spend with Leon, after all, it is a lot of money and manpower, and most of those soldiers return to the territory Once the armor is taken off, it is a working peasant!

Nobles are also not allowed to train large-scale soldiers privately. They can only prepare city guards or patrols for bandit suppression according to the actual situation of their own territory. Only the places bordering the Eagle Kingdom have permanent soldiers to guard them.

Although these two regulations slowed down the speed and strength of the assembled troops, they effectively saved the consumption of training and maintaining professional soldiers, and prevented the local ambitious nobles from surpassing the royal family.

Therefore, at this time, Leon only has the remaining part of the troops belonging to the royal family that he brought with him when he supported the defense of Jianmen Fort. Leon has no income now. The cost of food and clothing is all made up by the eastern nobles, and if it takes a long time, I am afraid that Leon will not be able to maintain the training of those troops. It is bound to let them do some farm work and so on. Restricting the support of Leon, once he completely loses competitiveness, those nobles who are supporting him now must be the most ruthless ones who eat his flesh and blood.

"Report! Letter from the west!" Leon's messenger brought a stack of letters to Leon who was drinking. Leon didn't read the letter for the first time, but took another sip of wine. During this time, he It's a bit decadent, because he now thinks that he can't defeat Ronan anymore, and after the last defeat, the eastern nobles and Leon are now quite alike.

There are many nobles who no longer want to continue fighting with Ronan. First, Ronan is in full swing now, and Leon's chances of winning are very low. Second, it is already very cost-effective for them to spend their troops and money to fight. Being king, it would be meaningless if they lost too much. Ronan was very kind to the outside world, and he seldom killed prisoners. Many nobles who later defected to him were not treated differently.

Therefore, many people feel that it is better to surrender directly to Ronan. Not to mention promotion or something, it is very good to maintain the same status, and many of them have also planned to sell Leon to get it. Some nominations.

After taking a few more sips of wine, Leon opened the letter at Barbossa's urging and read it. Just after reading the letter, Leon's original three-point drunkenness disappeared.

"Rodrit has launched an attack, and his subordinates have captured a territory on the southwestern border, where are they now stationed!"

Leon said while handing the letter to Barbosa, and then he added:

"This is our last chance. There have been some discordant voices among the eastern nobles. I'm afraid they will betray us soon. We have no strength to drag on. This is our home court. We must Take advantage of the home field to deal with them, send the order, and transfer all the defenders of Jianmenbao, we must gather all the combat power we can use to deal with them!"

"But if Jianmen Fort is withdrawn, if they are discovered by the Eagles, they will not miss this opportunity!" said a knight.

"It doesn't matter, the Eagles won't find out in a short time, and it's already a last-ditch battle, Roderick's strength has strengthened again, and we are now weaker than ever before, and both external and internal problems will be solved. With all our strength, we may be directly swept away.

And if we fail, we will directly lure those eagle men to break the agreement and attack. Even if I die, I won't let that guy from Rodritt stay safe and secure! "

Leon said through gritted teeth.

"And that old fox Mayweather definitely can't watch us fail and be eliminated. He may want to hurt both of us, but he doesn't want us to defeat either of us. Otherwise, it is He is left to face the pressure himself, so he is bound to send troops, at least to maintain this three-legged state and make him the strongest before he can kill one of the two of us."

"Then I'm going to assemble the troops, and by the way, I'm drafting a call-up order to see how much support the nobles still have for us!"

Barbossa got up and walked out. Leon also waved his hand to signal the others to leave. He stood there with his arms and kept thinking about something.

In fact, they all know that since the day they were forced to return to the east, they have no chance, but they are not willing to admit it. After all, Leon is different from Ronan. Leon has no foundation. With the support of the nobles, he couldn't do anything at all, and after the defeat, the nobles no longer trusted him too much.

Ronan is different. The main force of Ronan's current rise is the system troops and heroic generals under his command. After all, the troops of the nobles and themselves are not trusted enough by Ronan. Ronan knows very well. The greed and repetition of the nobles, once they lose power, they are the snake that bites the farmer. Like businessmen, they only focus on profit.

Therefore, Ronan will only let them act as cannon fodder or do some other unimportant things. All other things that involve the core focus or need to overcome difficulties are completed by Ronan's own troops, and the central power will be firmly grasped. in their own hands.
