Being a knight is not easy

Chapter 268 Anti

In this game of wits with the Central Plains, every piece has its unique role.

Although Rek is an inside man, if he is arrested now, the people in the Middle Kingdom will definitely be alerted and may change their plans.

By keeping Rake around, they could cleverly spread false intelligence and mislead Middle-earth's decision-making.

Robin began to secretly arrange for people to closely monitor Rick's every move, ensuring that his actions were under control.

At the same time, he deliberately allowed Lake to obtain some seemingly important but actually carefully crafted intelligence.

Rick was completely unaware that Robin was watching him, and thought that his actions were completely undetected.

He continued to gather intelligence in Wilke territory, following the instructions of the Middle-earth, and occasionally secretly passed some intelligence out.

Although Viscount Wilke felt disgusted by Rick's existence, he still followed Robin's advice.

He watched as Robin methodically arranged everything, and his admiration for Robin's strategy grew even stronger.

As time went on, Middle-earth began to adjust their strategic deployment based on the intelligence relayed by Rek.

What they didn't know was that all of this was part of Robin's plan.

Bob deliberately committed all his main forces to launch a major attack on Wilke's territory.

His vast army surged toward the border of Wilke Territory like a black torrent, raising dust wherever it went, as if it would swallow everything in the tide of war.

Robin then brought over the entire army of his territory.

The soldiers of Wilke were all in high spirits, standing in neat rows, their eyes filled with determination and fearlessness.

Led by Robin, they stood like a solid wall across the border, blocking the advance of the Middle-earth army.

The two sides were locked in a direct standoff on the border. The battlefield was deathly silent, with only the military flags fluttering in the wind.

The soldiers on both sides gripped their weapons tightly, their eyes fixed on each other, the tense atmosphere seeming ready to explode at any moment.

Marquis Sonata stood with Robin, looking at Bob's seemingly invincible army across from them, and said with a look of disdain, "This Bob is still so arrogant?"

In his view, Bob's large-scale attack, though seemingly aggressive, was actually full of flaws.

Robin smiled without saying a word. He had already seen through all of Bob's schemes and tricks.

This standoff is just the beginning of a grand drama; much more exciting things are yet to come.

Marquis Sonata, still unconvinced, asked again, "The power fruit you promised me can really help me break through to the legendary level?"

His eyes were fixed on Robin, his gaze filled with eagerness and anticipation.

For him, breaking through to the legendary level has been his dream for many years. If Robin's Power Fruit really has such magical effects, it will be the key to changing his destiny.

As long as he can break through to the legendary level, he can stabilize his territory, even if he is powerless to resist Viscount Wilke's army.

After all, legendary powerhouses are like solid fortresses in this world, and are an important guarantee for the safety of territories.

Once he becomes a legend, he can establish absolute prestige within his territory, deterring those with ill intentions from easily offending him.

With his prestige and power in the West, he could also join forces with the Wilker Territory to rule the West. Marquis Sonata knew that in the current complex situation, it would be difficult to survive in the West alone.

The rise of Wilk Territory is an unstoppable trend. If he can break through to the Legendary level with the help of the Power Fruit, then cooperating with Wilk Territory will be a win-win situation.

He can consolidate his position by leveraging the power of Wilke's territory, while Wilke's territory can also better manage other territories in the West through his prestige.

In this way, the western borders could form a relatively unified force to jointly deal with the threats from the central lands and other possible crises.

Looking at Marquis Sonata's eager and expectant eyes, Robin slowly said, "Your Excellency, you don't need to worry too much. I don't need to elaborate on the effects of this power. As long as you use it correctly, breaking through to the legendary level is not difficult. However, before that, we still need to deal with the war at hand."

Marquis Sonata took a deep breath, nodded, and turned his gaze back to the two opposing sides on the battlefield.

At this moment, Bob seemed to be getting impatient, and his troops began to make some subtle movements, as if testing the reaction of Wilke's territory.

Marquis Sonata revealed a sinister smile: "It's time to let Bob know how powerful we Westerners are."

His eyes revealed a vengeful thrill, as if he could already see Bob's miserable state after his defeat.

Bob couldn't help but smile as he watched the main force rush towards Wilke's territory.

In his view, no matter how powerful Wilke Territory was, it would be difficult to withstand his massive army that had come out in full force.

He could almost see the Wilke territory fall and his prestige in Middle-earth soar to new heights.

Earl Levan spoke up at the opportune moment: "As long as we fight here, Your Excellency the Marquis can flank us from behind, and Wilke Territory will surely be defeated."

His words were full of confidence, as if victory was already in his grasp.

Bob burst into laughter. His laughter echoed through the army, filling the soldiers with a strange excitement, as if victory were just around the corner.

He never imagined that his initiative to ally with the Marquis of Sonata would ultimately result in the Marquis of Sonata and Viscount Wilke joining forces to attack him.

The Marquis of Sonata had already reached a secret agreement with Viscount Wilke. They were well aware of Bob's ambitions and decided to play along.

While Bob's army was locked in a stalemate with the army of Wilke, the Marquis of Sonata's army was quietly flanking from the flank, preparing to launch a fatal pincer attack on Bob's army.

Viscount Wilke wasn't idle either; Robin had already devised a detailed battle plan.

They deliberately presented themselves as fully prepared, enticing Bob to continuously commit more and more troops.

At the same time, they also set up some clever traps on the battlefield, waiting for Bob's army to step into them.

When Bob's army began their attack, they quickly realized something was wrong.

Wilke Territory's defenses were far stronger than they had imagined, and each attack seemed to hit a brick wall, achieving no real effect.

Just as they were feeling confused, Marquis Sonata's army suddenly attacked from behind, and Bob's army was thrown into chaos.

Bob's face turned deathly pale instantly; he realized he had been tricked.

But it was too late; his soldiers, caught in a pincer movement, began to scatter and flee.

The battlefield was filled with deafening battle cries. The allied forces of Wilke and the Marquis of Sonata, like tigers among sheep, launched a fierce massacre against Bob's army.
