The Maine River Valley is almost the most fertile area around it. In addition to the Eagle Ridge chosen by Thor, there are also more than a dozen pioneer lords, large and small, surrounding the Maine River Valley. Among them, the one with the best construction Undoubtedly the Lawrence family, followed by the Valmy family and the Graton family.
Although the Valmy family and the Graton family are not as powerful as the Lawrence family, as beings who were canonized as barons ten years ago, their strength cannot be underestimated.
Accompanied by an invitation from the Lawrence family.
The lords of the Valmy family and the lords of the Graton family arrived at Lawrence's territory with their troops.
However, upon arrival, the two lords of the Valmy family and the Graton family could not help but raise their brows slightly.
Something happened to the entire Lawrence family.
The familiar knights in his memory seemed to have disappeared, replaced by a completely unfamiliar knight.
"Master Valmy, have you noticed that there seems to be something wrong here?"
Baron Valmy rode his horse and spoke softly to Baron Graton next to him.
"There is indeed something wrong. These people seem to be mercenary knights from the Habsburg Chamber of Commerce, not from the Lawrence family."
Baron Grattan nodded, his expression a little suspicious.
They naturally knew about the mercenary knights of the Habsburg Chamber of Commerce. Similarly, the mercenary knights of the Habsburg Chamber of Commerce also had exclusive armbands. They could tell at a glance that these were the mercenary knights of the Habsburg Chamber of Commerce.
Such a result made them full of doubts.
When did the Lawrence family hire the knights from the Habsburg Chamber of Commerce?
What is this going to do?
Hiring Habs Chamber of Commerce knights is not cheap.
Looking at the current scale, the number of employees is quite large, and it is impossible to do it without a few thousand gold coins.
Several thousand gold coins, both of them couldn't help but be stunned.
For them, who had been established by the pioneer lords, a few thousand gold coins was already an astronomical amount.
Doubts are spreading.
The two of them gradually arrived at Lawrence Castle.
But when they arrived at Lawrence Castle, both of them couldn't help but be stunned.
His brows raised slightly.
Because the person who appeared outside the castle at this moment was not Pape or Lawrence, but a mercenary knight who was also from the Habsburg Chamber of Commerce, and he was not an ordinary knight, but a great knight.
The two of them looked at each other, and their hearts trembled.
The annual employment fee for a high knight can be as high as one thousand gold coins. At this moment, the Lawrence family has hired so many formal knights, and even hired a high knight. This may be something big.
"Two lords, you have been waiting for a long time."
"Please come with me!~"
The great knight of the Habsburg Chamber of Commerce spoke softly.
Then he led the two of them to the castle.
The two suppressed the ups and downs in their hearts and followed the great knight slowly in.
The castle is very big and much more prosperous than their castles.
Under the guidance of the great knight of the Habsburg Chamber of Commerce, the two people quickly arrived at the hall.
But in the hall, there was also no Papy Lawrence, but a figure that made them frown slightly.
"Opper, where is your father? This is not the way to treat guests!"
Baron Grattan was the first to speak, and looked directly at Opal Lawrence.
Next to him, Baron Valmy did not speak, but carefully observed his surroundings.
"Uncle Valmy, Uncle Graton, I'm really sorry, I'm afraid my father won't be able to come to greet you."
Opal Lawrence spoke in a feigned melancholy.
Listening to his words, Valmy, Graton couldn't help but their brows twitched.
"Opper, what did you say?"
Valmy couldn't help but speak.
"Uncle Valmy, something happened to Uncle Graton."
"A few days ago, my father and elder brother unfortunately died in battle!"
Opal Lawrence spoke with a sigh.
"What?"
"What did you say?"
And listening to his words, Valmy, and Graton were completely unable to calm down at this moment.
He, they heard something.
Baron Pape actually died in battle.
This moment left them in disbelief.
But in this state of disbelief, the two of them suddenly remembered what they had seen along the way.
The disbelief gradually turned into suspicion.
And amid suspicion, these eyes began to twinkle.
The interests of a barony, and an established barony like Lawrence, were undoubtedly extremely huge.
Before, when Baron Pape was still here, they had no idea.
I don't dare to have any ideas.
Pape is stronger than them, and the strength of Lawrence's territory is also stronger than them.
But now looking at the situation, Baron Pape died in the battle, and the strength of the entire Lawrence territory was greatly damaged.
This is entirely their chance.
Thoughts flow.
"Yes, my father and my eldest brother have died in the battle."
"My father discovered a large iron mine in the lower reaches of the Maine River Valley, so he led a large number of knights to capture it. Unfortunately, he failed to do so. My father and my eldest brother have been killed by their lord, and I can only I can go to the Habsburg Chamber of Commerce to hire some knights to see if I can avenge my father and brother. In addition, I also want to ask my two uncles for help!"
Opal Lawrence pretended to be more sentimental.
Valmy, and Graton were originally thinking, but at this moment their eyes suddenly widened, and their figures suddenly stood up.
It's not that they are not calm.
But the impact of the information brought by Opal Lawrence was too huge.
Large iron ore.
That's a large iron mine.
Among them, there is a chance to produce mithril iron, and there is a continuous production of mithril iron.
Its value is unimaginable.
It can even be said that by owning a large iron mine, the family has the potential to be promoted to viscount.
At this moment, how could they not make both of them feel restless.
"Are you telling the truth?"
"There are really big iron mines there."
"Opper, who is the lord there? Aren't there no pioneer lords in the lower reaches of the Maine Valley?"
Valmy couldn't help but speak to Graton. At this moment, neither of them was in the mood to care about Pape's death in battle.
After all, the temptation of a large iron mine is greater than anything else.
In comparison, Lawrence's territorial interests are nothing, and Pape's death in battle is nothing.
"of course it's true!"
"Otherwise, my father would not have gone there with the elite forces of the territory."
"As for the territory there, it seems that it is a new pioneer lord that has just been established in less than half a year."
Opal Lawrence nodded and explained slowly.
"The new pioneer lord~!"
"Less than half a year!"
Valmy, and Graton's eyes couldn't help but light up at this moment.
