Back then, all the principalities on the continent belonged to the same empire. At that time, the empire had already driven the barbarians to the Fire Grassland. It only took another year or even a few months for the empire to wipe out the barbarians.
Unfortunately, the empire suddenly fell apart in the end, and the powerful empire was directly divided into dozens of principalities of different sizes.
Since then, the entire noble civilization has been plunged into civil war. As for why the empire suddenly collapsed, even the nobles have no way of knowing.
Because that period of history seems to have been deliberately concealed and destroyed, even the great nobles of the Agate Principality have no way of knowing.
However, the great nobles of the Northern Principality may know better, because when the empire collapsed, the royal capital was located in the Northern Principality.
The barbarians took this opportunity to recuperate on the Fire Grassland. In order to dispel the nobles' idea of invading the Fire Grassland as much as possible, the barbarians slaughtered all the wild horses, the most precious animals on the grassland.
All.
Without the temptation of war horses and the presence of powerful enemies in the north, the barbarians have been able to live peacefully in the Fire Grassland until now.
As the barbarians developed and grew over the years, they would occasionally plunder the noble borders when they encountered insufficient food.
This unstable factor prevented civilians from settling around the Fire Steppe. As a result, the territory on the southwest border gradually became deserted. In the end, the nobles simply exiled the relatives of the Daughter of Misfortune here.
…
"Ding! As a time traveler and the host of the system, you can be said to be God's favorite!"
"As the beloved of God - the son of destiny, your dignity cannot be slandered, and your greatness cannot be underestimated!"
"A group of nobles from Tulip are about to arrive at Lucky Castle. As the lord of the Storm Territory, this is also an excellent opportunity for you to show off the Storm Territory!"
"System side mission: Try every means to shock all the nobles in your Storm Territory five times. (Note: The shocking scene cannot be repeated!)"
"Mission reward: The first three shock rewards are one green elf bug each!"
"The fourth shock rewards a purple elf bug!"
"The fifth shock reward comes with the arrival of the fourth Daughter of Doom!"
"I'll go, I'll go! What's going on? Who? Who trampled on my dignity and slandered my greatness?"
In the castle bedroom, Nalant woke up from his sleep beautifully. Just when he was about to summon his personal maid Lilia to serve him and then go to the restaurant to enjoy the master's meal, he suddenly thought of it.
There was a loud ding-ding ding-ding sound coming from the system.
Immediately, Narant was shocked.
Not only was I shocked that the triggering of this mission was somewhat inexplicable, but I was also shocked by the weirdness of this mission and the richness of the rewards.
This time it turned out to be a series of tasks!
"How should I do it if I shock all the nobles five times?"
Narant was freed from the shock and couldn't help but think about how to get this reward.
Whether it's the Elf Bug or the Lady of Doom, these are the existences he covets.
I'm so greedy that my mouth is watering!
However, if he was only shocked once, twice or even two or three times, then Nalant felt that the current changes in his territory were just so-so.
But he was shocked five times in one breath, which shocked all the nobles. How could he have done so many things that shocked everyone.
"Forget it, let's shock those who can be shocked first! It seems that the Earl and a group of nobles will be here soon!" After thinking for a long time, Nalant had no good idea, so he could only do his best to reward possible shocks.
Get it.
At that moment, he pulled the string on the head of the bed and summoned his personal maid.
After getting dressed under Lilia's service, Nalant went directly to the restaurant.
"Sir, you are looking for me. I don't know what you have to say!" While Nalant was eating breakfast, Big Stone walked in!
"Big Shitou, go to Maiye Village quickly to retrieve Raymond and the others. Remember, you have to be fast and let them wear armor and be fully armed!"
"Yes, sir!"
Hearing this, Da Shitou thought something big had happened and immediately followed the order and left the castle.
"This must be a shock!"
Originally, Narant wanted to keep a low profile. He felt that he was already in the limelight last time in Tulip City.
Therefore, except for the personal guards this time, he wanted to hide the existence of Raymond and others.
Last night, he issued an order for Raymond and the other fifty ordinary barbarian guards to take off their armor and return home to be civilians for a few days.
In this way, even if a group of nobles knew that there were barbarians in his territory, they would definitely not care too much.
But now the system suddenly issued this shocking mission, directly breaking Nalant's low-key plan.
“What a weird system!”
"System, if you play like this, you will easily lose me as your master, do you know?"
With a groan in his mind, Nalant began to quickly eliminate the food.
I'm ready for the first shock, just waiting to see the next effect!
As for the subsequent shock, we still have to take one step at a time!
"Sir, Captain Quick just reported that the Earl's convoy has arrived three miles away from the castle!"
About half an hour later, while Nalant was sitting in the hall waiting, Thomas jogged to the hall and reported.
"It's finally here!" Nalant stood up from the sofa, "Thomas, start acting according to the prepared steps!"
"Yes, sir!"
After giving the instructions, Nalant walked out of the castle directly.
At this time, colorful flags were flying up and down the Lucky Castle, and the red carpet was laid down the gentle slope.
In addition, all the guards, fully armed and wearing smocks, were divided into two lines and stood on both sides of the red carpet.
The servants of the castle all followed Butler Thomas, carrying washbasins and towels as they headed down the gentle slope.
In order to be decent enough, even the little maid in the kitchen joined the team of servants.
…
"Look, there's a castle ahead! We're finally here!"
At the same time, a group of nobles three miles away from the castle also saw the towering Baron Treasure standing on the hill.
"Hey, this castle doesn't look so dilapidated!"
"Perhaps Narant, the second son, has specially repaired it for this harvest festival, and now you can't see anything from a distance. Only when you get inside the castle can you tell whether it is dilapidated or not!"
"Haha! That's true, but I'll get the answer soon!"
Although the scene of the castle in the distance is not as dilapidated as expected, the young heirs still feel that this is just an appearance.
As the team continued to move forward, they gradually approached the gentle slope of the castle.
"Look, what's going on ahead?"
“Ah! So many barbarian guards!
"Hiss, this... this is too much! There are at least fifty or sixty barbarian guards!"
"Andrew, you are so brave this time. Aren't you afraid that these barbarians will not obey orders?"
Although I had already seen the neatly arranged guards on the gentle slope and the red carpet extending from the castle.
But when everyone got closer and found that there were actually a large number of barbarian guards among the guards, they still took a breath of cold air.
I originally thought that Nalant had ten barbarian guards, which was special enough, but now I realized that they were only a small part of others.
Even the middle-aged lords in front could not help but be shocked by Nalant's boldness.
Isn't it the same as letting a pack of wild wolves come to defend your home by exposing yourself and your castle to so many barbarians?
They really didn't know if Naranter didn't know the heights of the world, or if he thought he could be the wolf king.
