Many of the empty houses in the town were perfect for accommodation for the soldiers.

They didn't even need to transport food and fodder from the shore city; the food reserves in the town were enough to last them for a while.

Roning used the Wings of Wind to travel between the two towns to discuss and determine the time to attack Moonlight City.

Although they won a great victory in the battles of the two towns, the rapid march and fierce fighting caused enormous consumption. The army would need at least two to three days to recover before they could prepare for the more difficult battle of Moonlight City.

So the time they finally decided on was to gather their troops outside Moonlight City on August 24th.

Of course, this only assumes that the other party holds their ground.

If Jesus takes the initiative to lead the team out of the city to attack, then their strategy and attack time will have to change accordingly.

However, according to Roning's guess, Jesus is unlikely to leave the city. After all, they have a greater advantage relying on the city.

Golden Feather Palace, Hall of Alduin.

Mel, the kingdom's intelligence minister, is reporting to Bruno the news circulating in the streets of Golden Feather City over the past two days.

"In the first half of the year, the news that Earl Osen of Wushan Territory had become an alien race had spread to every corner of the kingdom. All the nobles knew about the evil and terror of the Wuhun Clan."

Mel bowed and reported: "Based on this understanding, the fact that Jesus is a member of the Wuhun tribe is simply a hot spot. Wandering swordsmen, wandering bards, and many mercenary groups have marked Moonlight Valley as dangerous. There are even voices asking the royal family to find out the truth."

Bruno frowned, and the faces of the high-ranking nobles in the hall at that time flashed through his mind. Who could have leaked this matter?

He rubbed his brows, feeling worried about his guess: "This news came from the mouths of the Wushan family, right?"

"Your Majesty is wise. He immediately guessed who spread the rumors."

"Among the nobles present that day, Wushanbao is the most likely to be the one."

Mel smiled and said, "To be precise, the Wushan family was not rigorous enough. I found the source without much investigation."

Bruno hesitated for a moment, wondering if the other party was being careless on purpose.

"What is their purpose in doing this?"

Just as he was thinking, a royal knight came in and saluted, saying, "Your Majesty, Albert, the political officer of Wushan Castle, is outside and wants to see you. He said he has a very important letter from the Marquis of Wushan."

Bruno had a bad feeling, "Go, bring him here to see me immediately!"

Step, step, step...

There was a sound of hurried footsteps, and it was another royal knight running over. "Your Majesty, the Intelligence Department has received a letter from Moonlight Valley, and the letter is of the highest level!"

Bruno couldn't help but feel a little panicked.

Mel quickly came to the knight and took the letter. He immediately opened it and read it, then his face changed drastically: "Your Majesty, Marquis Wushan led his troops to attack Moonlight Valley and has already captured Nazca Town and Pisa Town!"

"Lulansi..."

Bruno's brows were twisted into a "川" shape. He walked down from the throne and took the letter. The more he read it, the angrier he became.

"How dare you, Wushanling?"

In his expectation, Moonlight Valley, Howling Island and the Principality of Vera would definitely invade Wushan Territory in the form of pirates and bandit gangs, and the latter would send troops to suppress them as before.

Finally, with the joint efforts of Moonlight Valley and other three parties, even though Wushan Territory had a lot of high-level combat power, its mid- and low-level combat power was always in a state of loss.

Without a good foundation of mid- and low-level knights, the threat to the kingdom from just a few high-level extraordinary people is limited.

In this process, Moonlight Valley, Howling Island and the Principality of Vera must have also suffered losses.

The four parties were fighting, and the royal family was the final winner.

But Bruno never expected that Wushan Territory would take the initiative to attack and openly invade the noble territory.

"Go, tell Broll to come here immediately!" Bruno roared.

Mel looked at the knight who ran away and turned back to ask, "Your Majesty, are you going to send the Griffin Knights to help Moonlight Valley and attack Wushan Territory?"

Bruno did not reply, but turned around and sat quietly on the throne.

If this incident happened before the announcement of the marriage between the royal family and Wushanbao, he could consider sending troops to oppress Wushanbao by force, forcing it to withdraw its troops and pay the price for infringing on the royal nobles.

He could even order a trial for treason if Wushanbao did not listen to his negotiations.

But now, to be honest, his situation is a bit embarrassing.

Ronin and Blanche were going to get married in less than four months, and the Golden Feather Palace was preparing for it. Bruno turned around and announced that the Wushan family was traitors. Isn't this a joke? In that case, where would he put his face?

As the Minister of State of Wushan Territory, Albert had seen a lot of things, but this was the first time he entered the palace to pay a visit to the king.

However, although he was nervous, he did not lose his manners.

"Albert, the Minister of State Affairs of Wushan Territory, pays his respects to His Majesty the King!"

Bruno had a cold face and a cold voice: "Get up."

Albert smiled slightly. He knew that his entry into the palace this time was dangerous. He had even written a suicide note and made all the arrangements before leaving Wushan City.

He took out the letter from his bosom and said, "Your Majesty, this is a letter from my master, Marquis Wushanling, to you."

Mel took the letter, but since it was not sent by the intelligence agency, he did not open it, but directly handed it over to the kingdom.

When Bruno was opening the envelope, Albert said, "The Marquis told me that Count Jesus has become a minion of the Wuhun Clan and is endangering the nobles around Moonlight Valley. Viscount Milk Lucio of Longtao Castle was persecuted by Jesus, and that is why Jesus owns the port of Longtao Castle."

"But at the founding ceremony, he continued to pretend to be your Majesty's brother, deceiving you and many nobles."

Albert said solemnly: "For the honor of His Majesty the King, for the safety of Wushan Territory, and for the safety of all nobles and civilians in the Kingdom of Alduin, the Marquis has decided to lead the team to attack Moonlight Valley. Even if we have to use all our strength, we must kill the aliens and capture Count Jesus and hand him over to Your Majesty for trial!"

Bruno read the letter and listened to Albert's story, with a visibly solemn expression on his face.

Mel stroked the ring on his finger and thought to himself, "No wonder Lu Lan Si wanted to spread the news that Jesus was from the Wuhun tribe. It turned out to be for this matter."

Such propaganda will only allow Wushanling to stand on the moral high ground. Even if His Majesty the King wants to object, he cannot avoid the issue of clarifying Jesus' identity.

So, is Jesus an alien or a normal person?

I'm afraid that by then, Dean Fasley of the Royal Academy of Magic will not have the final say, and it will probably take the Grand Mage Bellora Silva to come forward to confirm it before it will be convincing.

Bellola is not loyal in the traditional sense, and he seems to have a good relationship with Ronin, so he might speak fairly when the time comes.

Bruno's expression changed again and again, and finally he slowly put away the letter. When he raised his head again, his previous indifference had been restrained a lot.

"In the letter, Lu Lan Si detailed the evidence that Jesus was from the Wuhun tribe and listed the crimes Jesus had committed. It is unbelievable that my own brother has become an evil alien!"

He looked at Albert and regained some of his smile. "I am moved by Marquis Thunder's loyalty to the royal family and his determination to uphold the royal honor!"

Jesus is a foreigner, and he knows this.

When he decided to cooperate with Jesus, he was a little worried. After all, if you try to get the skin of a tiger, there is a risk of being hurt by it.

Judging from Moonlight Valley’s recent actions against the surrounding nobles, this tiger is indeed restless.

Foreigners cannot be restrained by purely aristocratic etiquette and laws.

Bruno saw that the Kingdom of Trissia was in chaos. He had the potential to become a great emperor, and he did not want to do anything that would damage his prestige, such as the king colluding with foreigners.

So, it's time to give up Jesus.

Now that Lu Lans had made the matter clear and given him a step, he could just go down the step.

Moreover, if Wushan Territory alone were to take over Moonlight City, it would surely cost a huge price.

This is consistent with Bruno's goal of weakening the strength of Wushan Territory.

"It will be very difficult for Wushan Territory to clear Moonlight Valley alone. I am ready to send Vice Captain Broll of the Griffin Knights to provide support."

Bruno said, "Albert, you must be tired after coming all the way here, go down and rest."

Albert was a little surprised.

He could sense that the King was unhappy before, so why was he so kind all of a sudden? This kind of thing was not something he could ask about. Anyway, for him, this hurdle had been overcome.

After returning, his status as honorary baron was finally secured.

"Your Majesty, do you want to support Wushan Fort?"

He had just thought that the Griffin Knights were going to be sent to support Moonlight Valley.

Bruno nodded.

Support is definitely needed, but it is uncertain when it will arrive.

The battle between Wushan Territory and Moonlight Valley has to be fought by themselves. (End of this chapter)
