Over the next week, more and more people fled from the west, bringing with them news that Brewster Fort had changed hands and the garrison was defeated.
What is strange is that most of the deserters or refugees are telling an uneasy story, that is, the Emerald Territory, the occupiers of Brewster Castle, did not launch any invasion of the castle, but instead came to help the soldiers and civilians resist the demons from the underworld.
After entering the castle, only a few people claimed that the Emerald Territory was an intruder and carried out a brutal massacre of the soldiers and civilians of Brewster Castle.
No matter what the rumors were, it has become an indisputable fact that a strange neighbor appeared in the west. Many people felt the suddenly heavy atmosphere. Some wealthy businessmen even began to transfer their property and family members further south to avoid being involved in the war.
In the days that followed, there was a shortage of food in Knockland. Food prices rose. Some of the grain merchants also chose to close their doors. Most people who could live in Knockland had some family wealth.
Even so, they can only face famine amid soaring food prices.
On the contrary, the Imperial Army once again openly expanded its recruitment under the call of Archduke Timothy. Although it did not pay military salaries, it was able to provide enough food and attract many desperate people to join.
At Timothy's call, Lord Jerry Ford, Lord Glinton, Lord Acheson and Lord Ingnati Woods sent magic envoys one after another, arrived at Knockland, and took their seats in the conference hall.
As the large magic crystal slowly lit up, four magic users cast spells at the same time, establishing a connection with the magic crystal.
Sitting on the main seat, Timothy stroked his opal ring and silently waited for the four magic envoys to successfully complete their consciousness possession.
When the eyes of the four magicians turned blue, the five southern lords sat together across a distance of thousands of miles.
"Old friend, it seems that you have encountered some minor troubles recently?"
Timothy looked at the first magician on the right. The speaker was controlled by the Lord Glinton, who controlled the ancient city of Valx, and was also his strong competitor.
It's a pity that he is in no mood to argue now.
"The empire is going to attack us. I don't know if it's just a small trouble. I only know that the 60,000 people stationed at Brewster Fort were reduced to only a few thousand broken troops in less than three days. In Brewster
On the outskirts of the castle, Lord Demon Face has dug several mass graves, and I am afraid they have not been completely filled.
Old man, I can't do it anymore. I don't know if the Tarknus Army that you are so proud of can kill 60,000 people in three days. Otherwise, I will give you Nokland and you can try it?
"
Timothy was choked and speechless, and Glinton was also a little shocked. He learned from Timothy's mouth and the secret agent's mouth that they were two different concepts, which could make the arrogant Timothy so afraid.
, is the Emerald Leader Corps that occupied Brewster Fort really that terrifying?
"Timothy, what happened at Brewsterburg?"
Jerry Ford's voice was particularly solemn. As a large lord near the coast, although his territory was far away from the inland, it happened to be on the route of the Emerald Territory's merchant ships. Over the years, he had learned a lot about the Emerald Territory through hearsay.

He has no intention of competing for power, nor does he want to go against the Emerald Territory, but the Emerald Territory has extended its hand to the south, and he cannot sit idly by.
Immediately, Timothy, with a heavy face, concisely told the four people present what happened at Brewster Fort.
"...In this way, the Demon-faced Lord led 12,000 people to use cunning tricks to open the gate of the castle, and then poisoned most of the soldiers and civilians. The incompetent Vlad lost Brewster Castle.
What's hateful is that Lord Demon Face still wants to get Nokland in the same way. Humph, he thinks I'm a fool.
I have put those traitors who spoke for the Emerald Territory into the dungeon. It seems that some kind of brainwashing spell was used. Those people have always firmly believed that those who attacked the castle were 'demons from the underworld', not from the Emerald Territory.
army,
This alone means we have to be careful. I am looking for more powerful mages and potion masters, and I believe I can pry them open."
After saying this, the four people present fell silent, secretly thinking about the stakes involved.
Strictly speaking, the five of them are grasshoppers on the same rope. Ever since they decided not to report their duties to the Supreme Command and sent the old, weak, sick and disabled to participate in the Demacian conquest, they have jointly controlled the southern border of the empire.
The five people have experienced prosperity and loss since decades ago.
Even if the five people compete for the power of the King of the South, they will stop at nothing, always maintain a bottom line that everyone can accept, and maintain an unbreakable alliance. In this case, even the supreme commander of the empire who controls elite soldiers and generals
There is nothing the Ministry can do against them,
Although it is inferior to the Imperial Legion in terms of weapon craftsmanship and legion types, the alliance of five can still pull out an army of 200,000 people, which can split the Noxus Empire at any time and drag the entire Valoran Plains into the flames of war.
It's just that the enemy now is not the Empire's Supreme Command, but the Emerald Territory, which has always been low-key. This is a bit of a headache. That is a monster that even the Empire headquarters finds troublesome.
"No matter what, we cannot allow outsiders to interfere in the southern territory of the empire, not even the Emerald Territory."
"Yes, we should unite to deal with the threat posed by the Emerald Tie."
"I have no opinion."
Seeing that the other three people agreed to fight against the Emerald Territory, Glinton could only nod.
Having already expected such a result, Timothy smiled calmly.
"It seems that everyone knows who our enemy is.
The top priority is to uncover the conspiracy of the Emerald Territory and expose the evil deeds of the Emerald Territory to the world. In this way, we will occupy the great righteousness.
After that, I will send troops to retake Brewster Fort. I hope that everyone can unite and form a coalition to put pressure on the Empire Headquarters. At least let the people of the Empire know what terrible evil things the Emerald Territory has done. If the Empire Headquarters can also put pressure on the Emerald Territory,
It would be better if we declare war."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "It's not impossible. Don't forget that the Emerald Territory is also the chief's innermost concern.
If we can get rid of the Demonic Lord with our help, our Lord Brown will probably be able to laugh out of his dreams. But at that time, he may have to face the military pressure of the Emerald Territory. I don’t believe that the Grand Commander will stop the Emerald Territory’s army for us.
…”
Glinton's analysis made everyone present feel stagnant. Not everyone can bear the military pressure of the Emerald Territory. Even someone as powerful as Demacia could only swallow and hand over top trophies like [General Thane].
Ever since the Emerald Territory became famous in the world, the history of Valoran seems to have seen few failures of the Emerald Territory. The only times it happened were by extraordinary beings such as 'gods' or 'ghost demons'.
Even Timothy was a little scared at the thought of an all-out war with the Emerald Territory.
At this moment, Lord Acheson whispered.
"You think, how about we convince Brown to join forces with us to fight against the Emerald Territory?
I believe he should be more interested in the wealth of Fidelite. It is not a place that we, the backwoods, can compare to. If the empire headquarters forms an alliance with us, it can bring in an army of 400,000 people.
If we include the army of servants who serve as cannon fodder, there will be even more by then. No matter how powerful the Emerald Territory is, it cannot be our opponent, right? When the time comes, we will defeat the Emerald Territory in one fell swoop, and we will be our King of the South. Brown continues
Isn't it better to be the leader of Darkwill than to be defeated one by one by the Emerald Lords?"
Lord Yingnati Woods nodded.
"I have no opinion."
Everyone's thoughts gradually merged and collided. After the brainstorming, Timothy gained a little more confidence in defeating the Emerald Territory.
"Acheson, you are right, and we should not be limited to the empire headquarters. Demacia should also be our potential ally. The Emerald Territory has been high-profile and domineering for too long. Although it is beautiful on the surface, there may be hidden secrets.
How many people want to see Jade Leader die?
A superpower like the Emerald Territory shouldn't exist in this world at all. Maybe as long as we operate, the Emerald Territory will become an enemy of the world...
Do you think the reason why the Emerald Territory is so powerful is because there are some ancient ruins in the Nokomochi Plain? It happened to be discovered by the Emerald Territory and it became its own."
"It is very possible that whether it is firearms or cold weapon forging technology, Jade Leader's products have always been at the forefront of the mainland, and many things cannot be imitated at all. No matter how you think about it, it is impossible for Jade Leader to develop it themselves. Damn it, no wonder
Lord Demon Face can rise so quickly, I'm afraid this is the truth."
Timothy took a deep breath. Although he could not see the facial expressions of several old friends from the bodies of several mages, he could hear the uncontrollable greed from the slightly rapid breathing.
Facing such a huge treasure house in the Emerald Territory, no one will be tempted.
Thinking of the current rumors in Nokland, Timothy sneered.
"So, Lord Demon Face is just a lucky tomb robber. It is clear that the Emerald Territory has so many advanced technologies, but the Emerald Territory refuses to share them. I am afraid that it is because of wolfish ambitions, and you think that such a powerful person
I am afraid that the forces really have an ulterior motive. Is this time the Emerald Territory captured Brewster Castle because the Emerald Territory really had a deal with the devil?"
Hearing what Timothy said, several people couldn't help but be startled. Didn't you just swear that the fall of Brewster Castle was because the Emerald Leader poisoned and planned a sneak attack? Now it's become an alliance between the Emerald Leader and the Devil.
Do you want to show your face?
With this thought in their hearts, several people spoke up.
"It's extremely possible! Otherwise, how could all 60,000 people die in just three days? Even if we raise 60,000 stupid pigs, it would still take a month to kill them, right?"
Timothy lowered his head with an unsightly expression, wishing he could punch Glinton through the magic hub.
"I think the Emerald Territory has probably become a lair of demons. Think about it, the Demon-faced Lord of the Emerald Territory has been immortal for thousands of years. What is he if he's not a devil? He wears a mask just to hide his face from others. I'm afraid his face under the mask
He’s so ugly that he can’t be seen by anyone.”
"I heard that the Jade Territory, which bans the slave trade, often purchases slaves from other forces. I'm afraid those poor slaves have become the devil's delicacies. The Emerald Territory is really an evil place. It looks bright and beautiful, but secretly it doesn't know what's hidden.
How much filth is there."
"I originally thought that the rumors about Lord Demonface having sex with those beasts and Vastayan orcs were fabricated by third-rate writers. Now it seems that the Emerald Territory banned "A Day and a Thousand Nights, Ancestor of the Vastayan People. King Lister"
The forbidden book "Biographies" is intended to cover up the demonic nature of the demon-faced lord Lester. How many human women have been harmed by this man who would not even let go of stone beetles?
He has deceived so many beautiful girls and has so many beautiful harems. I am so envious... Hmm! Lester is simply the enemy of mankind!"
"I still have no objection." Taking advantage of the gap between the other four people's words, Lord Yingnati Woods promptly expressed his sense of existence that was about to disappear.
The five people discussed for a while, and the Emerald Territory seemed to have become a "human traitor who mastered ancient crafts and then made a deal with the devil", and everyone could punish him.
Seeing that the reality has matured, Timothy smiled slightly.
"In this case, we have enough reasons to convince Demacia and the empire headquarters. Demacia calls itself a civilized country and will definitely not tolerate the existence of the cancer of the Emerald Territory, and Brown will not let go of the Judgment Emerald.
If we have the opportunity to lead, we will let everyone in the entire continent know what kind of evil existence the Emerald Leader and the Demon Faced Lord are.
It would be fine if the Emerald Territory accepts our joint review. If you dare to refuse, the crime of the Emerald Territory will be confirmed. When the time comes, we can also win the support of most of the people of the empire by launching an extermination operation against the Emerald Territory."
The other four people did not object, so Timothy continued.
"Before this, Lord Demon Face of the Emerald Territory led an army of 10,000 people to occupy Brewster Castle. This is an excellent opportunity for us. As long as we can capture Lester, we can see through his true face.
Even if he is not a pawn of the devil, we can still use Lester to do many things, such as forcing him to reveal the secrets of the Emerald Territory, or forcing the Emerald Territory to submit. But I know that he has many beauties who are loyal to him.
By the time……"
Glinton suddenly interrupted Timothy's laughter.
"Lester must be controlled by a few of us, so I propose that before Lester leaves Brewster Fort, we form a coalition and use all our strength to capture Lester in one fell swoop. We must not give him a chance to escape."
"I agree."
"I agree with Glinton's suggestion. Leicester is of great importance and needs to be treated with caution."
"I really don't have any objections." Immediately after Lord Acheson expressed his position, Lord Yingnati Woods echoed.
Things had come to this point, and Timothy, who looked unhappy, could only nod in agreement, otherwise these people might not have killed Lester before dealing with him.
"Then everyone, let's work together for the glory of mankind! Evil forces like the Emerald Territory will eventually perish!"
