Ron's allied forces continued their assault on cities and territories.

They also drove back the reinforcements that came to Hermann's aid.

The lords who had been hesitant at first made their move after conquering two baronies under the Earl's control.

They were also blinded by the rich spoils.

Robbery is still the fastest way.

The income from conquering a castle is equivalent to several years' worth of their farming income.

What if it's an earl's castle...?

Now Ron didn't need to tell them anything; they rushed forward on their own as soon as they saw the potential profit.

They did something even more ruthless than Ron.

They simply packed up all the serfs in Earl Greystone's territory and took them away.

After several days of dragging on, the allied forces finally arrived at Graystone Castle.

They joined forces with the lords on the eastern front.

Their situation was similar to Ron's; the minor lords weren't very determined. The viscount understood this quite well.

If we can take this opportunity to defeat Earl Greystone, or at least weaken his strength by half, that would be great.

After that, they had a lot more say in the Graystone Wasteland.

So, with the instigation of these viscounts, the route on the eastern front was also unified.

Now everyone can focus all their efforts on attacking Count Anthony.

Anthony has been holed up in the castle for the past two days, gathering all the troops in his territory.

Even knowing that those guys outside were plundering his territory, he refrained from sending troops out.

This time, he admitted defeat.

Surprisingly, this bunch of scoundrels actually teamed up and even brought in outside help.

His expansion plans were completely shattered.

Count Anthony is already doing well just to keep his family afloat; he's confident he can manage that.

With his castle, which he built at great expense, there was enough food to last a year.

He'll just stay and watch over it.

The internal strife in the principality can't last a year, can it? Let's wait until the internal strife ends.

Naturally, a powerful nobleman would intervene to mediate.

Anthony's idea is good and feasible.

After he gathered the troops in his territory, including those in his subordinate territories, he had a force of two thousand men.

With two thousand men defending a city, he didn't think he could possibly lose.

After the allied forces joined forces, nearly twenty lords gathered together for a meeting.

Ron also met the other two viscounts.

They settled the final payment for their employee Ron immediately.

Ron was very satisfied with this.

Only with this attitude can we continue to discuss cooperation.

Their subsequent treatment of Ron was also exceptionally polite, showing no arrogance due to his title.

Just kidding, he's a full-fledged knight, and he has more soldiers under his command than you.

It's obvious that once the internal strife in the duchy ends, whoever becomes the Grand Duke will have to try to win over Ron.

It's not impossible to give him a count's title.

By then, their rank will be higher than yours.

Therefore, Ron's position in the Allied Forces was second to none, and basically, the decisions on how to fight were made by the four of them.

The group only released the action plan for everyone to see after the small meeting.

Who is responsible for which part, how the rotation will be arranged, etc.

The most important thing is the division of spoils.

Ron naturally wanted the fattest piece.

He made it clear to these people that if they breached the city, he would only take the Great Elf and wouldn't touch anything else.

Of course, the others wouldn't agree.

That's a powerful potion spirit; one of them is worth all the others combined.

Even if you're the strongest and do the hardest work, you still get so much.

We're not happy either.

If I'm unhappy, then I'll hold you back.

The barons were making a ruckus, and the three viscounts were also unwilling to give up; the great elves wanted it too.

Ron cursed inwardly as he looked at this group of mediocre but greedy men:

"What a bunch of fucking bastards."

"We haven't even captured the city yet, and our own men are already fighting over the spoils."

Faced with these people's criticisms, Ron had no choice but to speak again:

"Gentlemen, think about it from a different perspective. What is the most precious thing in the Earl's territory? It's not the Great Elves, but this very land."

"I'm not involved in dividing this territory, is it too much to ask for just a Great Elf?"

"The Great Elf won't let me take it, so who else is suitable to take it?"

Upon hearing Ron's words, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment and fell silent.

Finally, Viscount Mango spoke up: "Baron Ron is the strongest, and we need him to deal with Anthony. I think Baron Ron is very suitable to take on the Great Elf."

"Yes, yes. I agree."

"Me too..." the lords below echoed.

If this guy doesn't come to steal their territory, they can get a bigger share. Anyway, no matter how the great elf divides it, it won't reach them.

It's better to quit while you're ahead.

Next, these people argued about the division of the territory for a while, but Ron didn't care much.

I just thought to myself, what a bunch of useless idiots.

No wonder he was beaten to such a sorry state by Earl Greystone.

Ron only realized how rotten the nobles were after he left his own territory.

Looking at it this way, the No. 95 pioneer site really is a gathering of heroes!

After the lords' meeting, the nobles attacked the city according to the agreed plan.

However, after a few days, the situation is not optimistic.

Count Anthony had made preparations for the defense of the city long ago, and it was fully equipped with various defensive devices.

The defending forces are numerous, and it's not something that can be taken down in a short time.

There was also a magic tower inside, which, along with several mages, made Ron and his group look very bad in the early stages.

Fortunately, this magic tower wasn't very good, and the magic power stored inside wasn't too much.

After enduring the first few days, the coalition's numerical superiority became apparent.
