7 KINGDOMS: conquest
35.Astur city
Duke Aaron's territory was located north of the Rosvelt kingdom, taking at least a day to reach the city of Artus.
On the way, several low-level monsters attacked them.
Noran had the 20 armored warriors kill those monsters, he wanted to raise their levels even if only slightly.
Moreover, only low-level monsters appeared such as horned rabbits, goblins, wild boars and other low-level monsters.
Now, those 20 soldiers had levelled up, their current level was 70, increasing by 10 levels for a full day.
Finally they arrived at the city of Artus in the afternoon, they entered the city and immediately walked towards the residence of Duke Aaron.
A luxurious mansion stood at the end of the city, sitting atop a cliff making it visible from all over the city.
There was only one way to get out or into the Mansion, besides there was a fortress under the cliff and around the mansion, forming two layers of defense.
"Good mansion placement." murmured Noran.
They soon passed through the bustling city of Artus, the main gate of the city had been tightened twice as they had heard the news from the capital.
Duke Aaron's territory had only a population of 40,000, in contrast to the other dukes who had a population exceeding 100,000, even the first Duke of Rosvelt kingdom had a total of 500,000 inhabitants.
Huge taxes as well as a strong military, made him at the top of all the dukes.
About 3,000 soldiers were seen marching in front of the mansion, they were Duke Aaron's troops.
As Duke Aaron said, half of them are young, low-leveled warriors, this is very low.
"They only have level 12?" noran muttered.
He was surprised, this was just like the civilians taking up arms.
"I didn't expect it to be this bad." Noran murmured.
Duke Aaron immediately told his soldiers to take 1 sword each, there were a total of 730 swords there.
"Sin, buy as many iron ingots and steel ingots as possible, bring 1,000 gold coins" Noran said.
1,000 gold coins! Duke Aaron was surprised, the young man before him could take out 1,000 gold coins easily.
Perhaps, in the entire kingdom of Rosvelt himself was probably the richest young master.
This made one wonder, what was Noran's background like, which made him so rich.
Sin, Toun and the others nodded, they lowered all the swordswords and brought three horse carriages towards the city, buying as many iron and steel ingots as possible.
Noran then walked into the mansion with Duke Aaron to discuss their strategy.
In Duke Aaron's room...
A map of the northern Rosvelt region unfolds, showing some of the territory held by the nobles and the Emperor.
"Here is the location of my territory, this region has mountains that limit the northern and surrounding areas limited by the territory of several Barons and Counts" said Duke Aaron.
There were three Barons and Two Counts surrounding them, and there was still their territory bordering the free meadows.
"Does Duke Russell have any connection to this Count and Baron-Baron?" ask Noran.
Duke Russell was famous for his great manipulation, he might just have allies near Duke Aaron's territory.
"I don't know if there are any allies around my territory" Duke Aaron said.
"However, Baron Luksville is most likely to be an ally of Duke Russell. They often meet together to discuss business and other things" Duke Aaron said.
Noran was suspicious that Duke Russell could not have just one ally, noran felt that there would be 2 or 3 allies around the region.
"Do you have any allies?" ask Noran.
"Yes, but the distance is too far, he is in the eastern region of the kingdom" Duke Aaron said.
"Who?" ask Noran.
"Earl Luise." said Duke Aron.
"Earl Luise?" Noran was surprised to hear that.
Why does this feel like it is connected to him? That's what he's thinking right now.
"What about your special forces?" ask Noran.
"There are 200 people who are members of the special forces, Heavy armored infantry, each has level 80" said Duke Aaron.
Noran thought, from anywhere this is just a one-sided battle. Noran felt that Duke Aaron's chance of winning in this battle was very slim.
In fact, he felt that there was no chance of winning at all. A notification rang out in Noran's head.
[Mission level A
Help Duke Aaron take on Duke Russell's invading army and win the war.
Gift : +100 Duke Aaron favourites / +100 relationship points Mansion Rosvelt /my skill book / +150,000 exp. ]
Noran thought for a moment, this battle will be so difficult for Duke Aaron's side.
"It's gonna be hard... But that doesn't mean it's impossible." murmured Noran.
Noran then accepted the mission, looking at the map before him.
"Put your troops at these three points, this is the best defense. I also want to take command of half your army." Noran.
Duke Aaron nodded and let Noran lead the 1500 young soldiers. Leading 3,000 soldiers alone would be too difficult for him.
Sin and the others have returned, the chariots are now filled with iron ingots and steel ingots.
There were 4,420 iron ingots and 500 steel ingots, and Noran told them to bring the whole ingots into an empty room.
"Bring all these ingots into empty space" Noran said.
Sin and the others nodded, they were helped by some soldiers carrying ingots into the empty room.
After finishing, Noran entered the room and started making more swords for Duke Aaron's army.
730 Soldiers had received their swords, there were still 2,270 other warriors.
