Farming with Entries: From Lord to Emperor-Chapter 640 - 309: Thunder and Frost Will Speak for Me
...
...
Early morning.
Eagle Castle.
"I won’t look!"
Looking at the letter Beo Ka was handing over, Lurice angrily pointed outside, shouting loudly,
"Even if all the knights of the Hawk Clan die in battle, I will never surrender to Luo De!"
"Burn it! Burn the letter!"
Lurice commanded loudly.
With the enemy at the gates, receiving a letter at this time,
"This..."
Beo Ka hesitantly wanted to speak, as he felt this was not the right choice for Eagle Town.
Beo Ka understood his lord’s anger.
Having just sent a large shipment to Baron Rod to mend relations, although there was no formal alliance, usually a year or two of peace could be expected among the nobility.
But now, only a few months later, Baron Rod had swept through Eagle Ridge with an army.
The key issue was that the Hawk Clan was like a sandcastle facing a giant wave, with absolutely no strength to fight back.
The Hawk Clan, with its hundreds of years of legacy, was on the verge of being devastated, and Lurice could do nothing but be furious.
"Are you sure?"
Beo Ka gathered his courage and suggested, "I think you should take a look; it might be of some value to the Hawk Clan."
"Burn it!" Lurice commanded loudly again.
"Alright, as you command."
Beo Ka walked to the fireplace holding the letter, turned back to look at Lurice, who was sitting at the table with her head down.
Seeing that his lord had not changed the order, Beo Ka sighed lightly and bent down to place the letter into the fireplace.
"Wait!"
Lurice shouted, reaching out to stop Beo Ka. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
She then took a deep breath and, somewhat reluctantly, ordered,
"Open it and see what Baron Rod wants."
"Honorable Lord, please say so earlier next time, I almost threw it in."
Beo Ka wiped the sweat from his forehead, tore open the wax seal on the envelope, and unfolded the letter,
"Baron Rod says..."
Beo Ka suddenly widened his eyes, his hands freezing in motion.
Lurice frowned and walked forward, asking, "What did he say?"
Beo Ka didn’t speak, his fingers trembled slightly as he turned over the letter.
Lurice leaned closer, immediately seeing the first line, her pupils gradually dilating,
"Lurice, do you wish to become the master of the Hawk Clan?"
...
...
While Lurice was still immersed in the shocking words, a sudden urgent bell rang from outside.
"It’s an enemy attack alert!"
Lurice disregarded the words on the letter and quickly rushed out of the council chamber!
As she dashed into the courtyard, Lurice happened to see the approaching high-ranking knight, Sharon!
"What’s going on?!" Lurice shouted at Sharon.
"You, you should look above the main tower of the castle!"
Sharon pointed at the sky behind Lurice, his voice trembling, "Baron Rod does have dragons, the rumors are true!"
Sharon’s face was full of shock, but he couldn’t help but secretly rejoice internally.
It proved that his choice back then was right.
At this moment, Lurice stood still without speaking, her gaze fixed on the two enormous creatures circling in the air, with two faint figures sitting atop them.
The soldiers of Eagle Castle also stared intently at the two dragons in the sky, their grip on their swords trembling slightly
——If dragons were truly as described in the ballads, would their swords still be of use?
But soon, the soldiers breathed a sigh of relief.
Because the two dragons made no aggressive moves and left after circling above the castle a few times.
Only the echo of the alarm bell remained.
The two dragons flapped their wings and descended into the Black Pine Ridge army’s camp under the watchful eyes of the Eagle Town soldiers.
"Are we just heading back like this?"
Vivian jumped down from Frost, curiously asking, "Why didn’t you say something, like a call for surrender?"
"No need."
Rod smiled, stroking Thunder’s head,
"My Thunder and Frost will speak for me."
Rod gestured slightly,
"Come, join me for breakfast."
"Alright."
Vivian responded, following in Rod’s footsteps into the tent.
And just as Rod finished breakfast, a guard came in to report,
"My Lord, the gate of Eagle Town has opened, and Baron Lurice has walked out with two people."
Only bringing two people?
Rod nodded with a smile, picking up a napkin to wipe his mouth,
"I told you, Thunder and Frost would speak for me."
...
...
Lurice walked straight towards the Black Pine Ridge army camp, disregarding the guards around her.
As if this was not an enemy camp.
"This woman seems to have some courage." Gang Le, sitting on a stone, couldn’t help but remark.
Rod looked at the approaching Lurice and waved to let the guards let her through.
"Baron Rod."
Lurice nodded and saluted when she saw Rod, "Thank you for still giving me a chance to speak."
Rod responded with a smile but said nothing more.
Rod was giving the soldiers of Eagle Town a chance.
His knowledge from a past life taught him that it’s best if you can subdue the enemy without a fight.
After all, these people are valuable resources.
"Come, let’s talk in the tent."
Rod gestured, leading Lurice into the tent.
The quickly set-up simple tent had no desks or furniture, only a warming fire with a kettle boiling tea, and stones covered with animal hides on either side of the fire.
"You should see, Baron Lurice, that I don’t intend to stay here long."
After sitting down, Rod casually fiddled with the fire, asking, "So what do you want to ask or say, hurry up."
Lurice was not reserved, sitting across from Rod,
"Then, Baron Rod, what is the cost?"
