Chapter 268 Variables



Baron Corrien slept until he woke up naturally as usual, then hummed a little tune of unknown tune while enjoying a delicious breakfast served by his servants.

He was not indifferent to the war, but was very concerned about it.

After all, this is a big gamble for him.

Although Roning rejected his plan to attack immediately, it did not affect the overall situation.

In his opinion, it was just a matter of staying in the camp for a few more days. As the food ran out, they would eventually take action.

As long as the coalition of nobles goes to war with the Polante bandit group in Chishan Town, his knight squad in Boulder Castle will become a sharp dagger, completely piercing through the battle line and changing the situation.

"Master, the knight who stayed in the camp has returned, saying that he brought orders from the commander, Viscount Ronin."

The steward of Stone Castle reported respectfully.

After what happened before, Corian's impression of Ronin changed, but after a good night's sleep, that change seemed to be washed away, and he began to disdain Ronin again.

He wiped the grease off his hands and said, "Send that knight to see me."

Soon, in the small hall, he met the knight who delivered the message and learned that Ronin had informed him to go to the camp to discuss the battle plan.

"Haha, our commander really likes to find things to do. We just made the preliminary arrangements yesterday, and today we have to discuss a new battle plan."

"It's been less than a day. I want to see what new ideas he has."

Before the war officially started, Corian was a defeated general. Naturally, he would not do anything that obviously violated the commander's arrangements in these trivial matters, which would undoubtedly cause trouble for himself.

So after receiving the order, he immediately began to prepare to go to the Allied camp.

"Did anything special happen in the camp last night?" he asked casually.

"Last night, Ronin called Toru and others together to discuss something and came to look for you, but you were not there. It might have been late at night, so he didn't let us come to the Stone Castle to inform you."

Coreyen couldn't help but curl his lips, thinking to himself that it was a good thing that he went back to Stone Castle to rest, otherwise he would have to be dragged out to a meeting in the middle of the night.

Young commander, you really love to show off and make trouble.

"Go inform Brisso and ask him to bring a squad of knights with me to the coalition camp."

Briso is a new knight who has joined Stone Castle. He is very powerful and is undoubtedly the most trusted person by Baron Corrien.

If the Stonehenge has its own order of knights in the future, this Knight Brissot will definitely serve as the leader.

But these are the opinions of the Knights team members.

In fact, Brissot was not a follower of Corrine.

The other party came here purely to help him complete this gamble.

Soon, the knight squad of Stonehenge was assembled, Corian mounted his horse, and Briso also arrived.

"Let's go." Corrine said.

More than two teams of knights, totaling more than 200 people, began to march towards the camp of the noble coalition.

Just as Roning's plan of luring the snake out of its hole and catching the turtle in the jar was about to succeed, a figure ran out from the path on the west side of the castle and quickly came to the front of the team.

"My Lord Baron, my Lord Baron!"

Coreen pulled the reins and looked back. It was the bird keeper of Stone Castle.

"What's going on?" he asked in a deep voice.

"My Lord, there is an urgent letter for you!"

Corian frowned. What kind of urgent letter would come at this time? Could it be from Wushan Fort? He quickly took it and opened it, and his expression suddenly changed.

"What's wrong?" Brissot sensed something was wrong and asked curiously.

Coreyon looked at the other person with a complicated look, as if there was regret, anger, and a hint of madness.

"Stay where you are!"

He turned around and shouted to the knights: "Brissot, follow me!"

The two of them walked, one in front and one behind, to the side away from the team.

"What's wrong, Corrine? I see that you don't look right."

Corian handed the letter to the other party. "This is a letter from Amycus. They didn't find Warwick after a whole night of searching. They suspected that he met with an accident or was captured by the people of Wushan Fort!"

"this……"

"Is there anyone in Wushanbao who has the ability to sneak into Chishan Town and capture Warwick without making any noise?"

He said in disbelief, "That's unlikely. Although Warwick's strength is not that great, he is still a silver. If they want to capture him, it's impossible that there will be no movement at all."

“Someone can do it!”

Corian had no doubt about the possibility of this matter: "The leader of the Third Knights of Wushan Fort, Melonica Taylor, I have never been able to figure out his strength, but he is very strong! If it is him, he should be able to do it!"

“Didn’t this person say that he would stay at Wushan Fort to protect Lu Lans’ safety?”

"These are just superficial excuses. Melonica never showed up from beginning to end. Who knows where he is?"

Corian was now feeling like an ant on a hot pan, extremely anxious and panicked.

This was a big gamble, and he had a great chance of winning, but an unexpected accident happened.

If Melonica knew about his betrayal, then...

He immediately thought of Roning summoning him to the camp for a meeting, and at the same time thought of Roning summoning Toru, Marvin and others last night, and for a moment he felt a chill on his back.

"Melonika definitely learned about our plan from Warwick and told it to Ronin!"

Corian's mind was more brilliant than ever before. "We can't go to the coalition camp. Ronin must know about this. He asked me to go there because he definitely wants to capture me!"

Brissot also recovered from his shock, and he was also very scared when he thought about this situation.

Although he is the Golden Knight, if he and Corian are besieged by Toru and others, they will only be captured.

"You're right, if we go to the camp again we'll be seeking death!"

Brissot cursed: "This Melonica and this Ronin are so insidious!"

Coreyen didn't have time to curse, he was only thinking about the solution.

Fortunately, he had sent all his family members away in advance, so even if he lost the bet, the Hansen family would not die out.

He has successors.

What's more, he hasn't lost this battle yet.

As long as he kills everyone including Melonica and inflicts heavy damage on Wushan Castle, he can disappear for a while and come back when Barrington takes control of Wushan Territory in the future.

"Brissot, go and command all the knight squads of Giant Stone Castle. Have them close the castle gates immediately and set up defense facilities. Be prepared to defend the castle!"

"I immediately wrote to Amycus and asked him to mobilize manpower and prepare to launch an offensive against the noble coalition forces."

There was a mad look in Corian's eyes: "As long as we join forces, the noble coalition will still be attacked from both sides!"

"good!"

Brissot nodded solemnly, fully approving of this arrangement.

Their original plan was to turn against their own side when the battle started and catch the noble coalition forces off guard.

Now the chance to switch sides in the middle of a battle is gone, but the advantage of attacking from both sides is still there. After all, the camp of the noble coalition is right between Giant Stone Castle and Red Mountain Town.

The balance of victory still tilts towards them.

As for whether the Polante Bandits would send troops? If it was a normal alliance, Amycus might hesitate or even bargain.

But the alliance between Correan and the other party is not simple, and Jesus is behind the scenes to act as a matchmaker.

After receiving the letter, Amycus would not hesitate at all, but would probably take immediate action to prevent the plan from failing.

"Come on, let's have a head-on battle! Even if we suffer heavy losses, as long as we win in the end, everything will be worth it!"

Corian whipped his horse's butt and galloped towards the Bird House.

Brissot drove his horse to the front of the knights and began to command everyone to defend the castle.

The walls of the Stonehenge Castle are more than ten meters high and seven or eight meters thick, and cannot be easily destroyed by ordinary attacks.

At the same time, there were enough food and supplies stored in the castle, so there was no need to worry about food and drink.

Brisso believed that with the help of the Stone Castle, it would be no problem for them to hold out for a few days.

These few days are enough for Chishan Town to take action.
