Chapter 236: Return to Defense, Messenger, Surprise

Rand led his troops back to defend.

During the decisive battle with Pero's army, reputation actually worked, and the effect was better than expected.

The only trouble was that the number of kills was not large, and since he had to return to defend, he did not have any extra troops to capture some prisoners.

This is undoubtedly a great pity. The defeated troops wandering in the mountains and fields will also affect the security of the territory.

Then it will be hard for Taran.

And he must rush back to Man Yue Ling immediately.

The bandits in the Burning Land have always been a rather troublesome force. Due to the influence of the geographical environment, there is an abundance of dragon blood stones here, resulting in a higher proportion of professionals here than in other areas.

As a result, this land has very little arable land for growing crops, making it difficult to feed a large population. The climate is also changeable and the harvest is unstable.

This has led to the people here being tough and daring, and they like to flee to other areas to become bandits.

The only good thing for Rand is that the internal struggle in the Burning Land is quite serious and the land is not very united.

Moreover, Rand has a way to solve the climate and arable land problems in the Burning Land, so he very much wants to capture it.

Unfortunately, my strength is not enough now.

It was already midnight when Rand returned to Full Moon Territory.

The sky is full of stars, dense and busy, they are silent, but it seems that the sky is bustling. The moon is like a girl who has not grown up, but she is no longer shy when she sees people. Her brightness and outline are fresh and clear, gradually setting off the night scene.

There was no problem. The imprisoned murloc and naga captives did not escape, there was no sign of destruction in the territory, and the main buildings were not occupied. Obviously, there was no invasion.

After Rand confirmed the situation, he led his men back to the town of Full Moon Territory.

There is an outsider waiting.

It is Sheran's messenger.

Seeing Rand, the messenger came over and saluted, then looked at Olenna who was blocking him with her sword.

Rand waved his hand, and Olenna retracted the silver-white blade.

"What's going on?" Rand asked.

"Lord Shelan has already understood the situation and reinforcements will arrive soon," the messenger explained.

What reinforcements?

Rand was stunned for a while before he realized that it was very likely that Shelan knew about Pero's abnormal military situation and planned to come to support him.

Rand had a very good impression of this young man who regarded him as an elder.

And this reaction speed can definitely be called fast.

Of the three pioneering nobles who came out this time, Rand himself did not mention them, but the remaining two, Pero and Shelan, can be said to be talented as well.

Shelan's abilities are good in all aspects, but Pero, just looking at this surprise attack, his decisiveness and rationality are something that ordinary people can't do.

"I have won." Rand explained with a smile, expressing his gratitude to Shelan for deciding to come and help immediately, "Thank you for the support, Viscount Shelan."

The messenger was stunned. When he was sent by Lord Shelan to deliver the letter, he could feel that Lord Shelan was very anxious.

Looking at Lord Shelan's appearance, he even suspected that Viscount Rand would not be able to hold out for long and would be defeated by Viscount Pero's army.

Now it seems that Viscount Perrault actually has a lot of troops.

How long has it been since they were defeated?

It was difficult to understand for a moment, but in this situation, it was obvious that Viscount Rand would not talk nonsense.

The messenger nodded in confusion and prepared to ride away on horseback.

The night was not suitable for marching, but as a messenger, he certainly did not suffer from night blindness. Raising the torch, the messenger sitting on a tall horse took a look at the town.

When he first came here, there were almost no people.

It was dark.

When Rand returned, many places were already illuminated by torches and ruins lights, dotted with stars in the dark night.

It seems that Rand's army did not suffer much damage.

But even if Viscount Perrault didn't get support from Count Feihu, his army should be stronger than Rand's, right? Not to mention that it was obvious that Viscount Perrault must have received military support.

Yet, under these circumstances, Rand still won in such a short time.

The messenger didn't look any further. He really couldn't figure it out, but he only needed to tell Shelan what he saw, and let Lord Shelan judge the rest.

Just as the messenger was about to ride away, he was stopped by Rand.

"I got some intelligence." Rand had considered it before he spoke, and he didn't hesitate when he spoke. "The nearby enemies who are hindering our development have formed an anti-development committee."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Shelan should know about this.

"They persuaded the bandits in the Burning Land to come and attack us together. I'm not sure where they will attack from, so please inform Viscount Shelan and let him be prepared."

After listening to it, the messenger said that he remembered it all, then nodded seriously and set off with a torch.

After watching the messenger leave, Rand began to prepare for defense.

I have to say, it is a very satisfying thing for the enemy to have a traitor loyal to you.

A lot of intelligence that would require spies to make great sacrifices was obtained in this way.

Unfortunately, this time, the baron of the Turan family didn't know where these bandits from the Burning Land were planning to attack.

That's why Rand reminded Shelan.

Although Rand felt that he had the highest probability of being attacked, it was just like before, when the murlocs and naga actually attacked Pero's territory first.

Rand felt that Shelan might also be attacked.

After all, with further support from the Earl of the Stag, Shelan's threat level to the Anti-Development Committee will be raised to a higher level.

Moreover, based on Rand's observations of the bandits from the Burning Lands in the territory, he always felt that these bandits from the Burning Lands would not necessarily listen to the opinions of the Anti-Development Committee.

…

On the other side, Shelan had made preparations. He planned to wait until dawn and then march out with his army to support Rand.

Shelan really respects Rand. After all, his father has always praised Rand's abilities.

When his father was facing accusations in the royal city, Rand, a mere viscount, knew that he would offend Earl Feihu, but he stood up without hesitation and personally escorted the evidence to the royal city, providing strong support for his father.

Moreover, Shelan admired Rand's military command ability and internal affairs ability very much.

Especially in terms of internal affairs, almost no domestic nobles knew that Rand's internal affairs ability was also excellent, but Shelan knew it.

If Rand was attacked, he must have intended to go and provide support.

Until his messenger came back day and night.

Shelan was stunned: "What? You said that Viscount Rand won the fight?"
