Lord Pender - Chapter 191
Of course, Leo at this time was also having some vague expectations.
There is no doubt that the Dragon Valley connected by the time-space magic circle is a plane that does not belong to Pande.
He actually saw the different planes in his memory!
According to the memory left by the ancestors, the different planes meant a surge in wealth and strength. How could this not make Leo excited?
But all of this is based on the premise of finding the remaining keys, Leo took a deep breath to calm down the excitement in his heart, but there was a bit of awe in his eyes, “No one should mention all the things today. ”
Of course, Leo also knows that this order is very unrealistic, even if everyone really obeys, there will always be leaks intentionally or unintentionally, but this order will eventually make the information leak slower.
Furthermore, only he himself has seen the scene of the Dragon Valley. All his subordinates, including Captain Cary, have never seen the scene in it, so it is considered safe. Besides, this Viscount Leofric is. Nearby, it is also within the radiation range of his influence.
It now seems that it is time to strengthen the influence of the Leofric family. Previously, this step was put in the back of the comparison, but now it is ahead of schedule.
……
“Lord Marquis’s team has appeared again?” Viscount Leofric was also at a loss at this time. From the Tarek Mountains back to the town of Trubrun, there was a total road that could arrive early.
Why did the Marquis lead the team to disappear for so long, and then suddenly appeared again? What happened?
For a moment, Viscount Leofric was just at a loss and couldn’t make up his mind.
Fortunately, the Marquis is finally back, which is one of the few good news, and Leofric only felt relieved for a while.
……
At this time, the small town of Trubrun had already spread the news.
“Have you heard that those giants were finally defeated by the Marquis.” Some townspeople shouted excitedly.
“Really or not, so fast? That’s in the Tarek Mountains!” Many townspeople seemed a little unbelievable.
“That’s Lord Marquis, do you think he’s an ordinary noble? A well-known commander in our kingdom, his record was quite astonishing!” A businessman said with a bit of admiration.
“To celebrate the defeat of those damned giants, our ale is free today!” The tavern owner shouted excitedly, his son died in the battle of Trubrun not long ago.
This time, hearing the news that the giants were finally pale, the owner of the tavern was almost overwhelmed with excitement.
“There, here it is!” Some townspeople exclaimed.
In the distance, one by one tall and majestic giants, their majestic bodies slowly moved towards here.
It was these giants who attacked the town of Trubrun with great might not long ago, causing astonishing slaughter, but now they are all dejected, and they no longer have the slightest prestige!
“Look at those giants, they can’t get up now,” some townspeople seemed very excited.
“Lord Marquis, my father is not in good health and it is difficult for him to leave the castle, so I came to greet you in his place.” Unila walked out of the town and said excitedly.
“Well,” Leo nodded lightly, but he didn’t bother about Viscount Leofric, and turned to Captain Cary next to him and said, “You take them back to the Marquis first, and I will discuss with the Viscount. Recalling the old times, I should be able to catch up with you soon.”
Seeing Captain Kari leading a large number of giants to leave, Unila looked a little surprised. Naturally, he didn’t know that Leo was trying his best to avoid the contact between the soldiers and the viscount.
The Marquis is not far from the Viscount. Leo can’t guarantee 100% whether there will be people in the Viscount. At present, he just wants to ensure that the information will not leak out, and he is naturally unwilling. The soldiers under his command have contact with the viscount.
……
“Lord Marquis, you have swept away the giant clan in the Tariq Mountains on this trip, so that there will be no alien threat in the southeast border, and you have maintained the majesty of the kingdom. It can be said that you have made great contributions to the kingdom,” Viscount Leofric smiled. Come over, “Unfortunately, I am not in good health, and it is difficult to lead the soldiers of the viscount to defend the reputation of the kingdom with you.”
“This is just a momentary prestige. The long-term safety of the southeastern border of the kingdom still depends on you, Viscount,” Leo said politely, waving his hand, “It’s just that the Marquis and the Viscount were still a little estranged before.
Just like this time, if I didn’t get the news in time, I’m afraid that the town of Trubrun would have fallen.
I think in the future, in order to ensure the tranquility of the borders of the kingdom, the marquis and the viscounts should have more connections and promote each other. What do you think, viscount? ”
“This…” Viscount Leofric hesitated for a while subconsciously, and was also very anxious. He knew that this young marquis, after all, did not want the viscount to be outside his sphere of influence.
Viscount Leofric has always known that the other party has great ambitions, but he mistakenly thought that the other party should have enough patience from Leo’s attitude towards the Viscounty, and slowly weaken the influence of the Viscounty. What threat would it pose to the marquis.
But why, this time, the other party seems to be a little more aggressive when he comes back?
Is it possible that you were stimulated by something?
That’s not right, the Viscount still has an understanding of the strength of the Marquis. Although those giants are terrifying in combat, they are still insufficient for the elites of the kingdom——the soldiers of the Marquis.
When Leo led the team, Viscount Leofric was relieved enough. This time, it was a natural result. Lord Marquis wouldn’t be stimulated by anything, right?
Could it be that something happened here? What happened to the sudden disappearance of the Marquis’s team a while ago?
For a while, Viscount Leofric only felt more and more confused, but immediately he was thinking too much.
Because the Marquis can be said to be aggressive this time.
“Lord Marquis, this kind of thing is still too involved. After all, the Marquis and the Viscounts are independent territories. They work together on the Silver Throne and are responsible for the Lion Kingdom. If you want to strengthen the relationship between us, I am happy I have heard about this matter, but it is better to keep some distance,” said the Viscount squinting, as if preparing to meet Leo’s fury.
“But Marquis, my spy in the empire has already heard the news that the empire is preparing to choose a new marshal. Emperor Mari is trying to use a victory over the kingdom to settle the recent uneasy situation in the empire.” Leo Staring at Viscount Leofric in front of him, he said, “The army of the Empire may march directly across the Tariq Mountains at any time.
In this case, I cannot guarantee the safety of the Viscounty, so I suggest that Viscount Leofric consider my proposal carefully. For example, this time, Viscount, you have neglected your duty and did not inform me about the giant in the first place. family thing. “Leo’s face became extremely serious.
this……
In an instant, the atmosphere here suddenly became tense and a little more stagnant. If someone came here, they would be startled. This was a confrontation between two powerful nobles, and the qi was extremely terrifying.
“And I heard that the giant clan came to attack this time, but due to certain things,” Leo suddenly curled up in the corner of his mouth, “They have surrendered to me, and there are a few giants who are talking crazy.
Said that the previous siege of Tribulun town was caused by certain actions of the Viscount and your family.
Of course, the crime of attacking the border of the kingdom is unforgivable, but if there are some reasons for this, I feel that as a powerful marquis on the border of the kingdom, I have an obligation to find out all of them. ”
“But Lord Marquis,” Leofric felt powerless for a moment, accompanied by a little helplessness in his heart. He knew that this was a handle. In the matter of facing the giants, the original cause was indeed a certain family member of his own. caused by greed.
This is an unavoidable fact, the Viscount could not help frowning.
“Viscount, I hope you can understand what is more important,” Leo frowned, “I’m investigating this matter for the sake of the peace of the kingdom’s borders.
I want to have a closer connection between the Viscounty and the Marquis, and also to ensure the peace of the kingdom’s borders. ”
this……
The Viscount smiled bitterly. Leo had already made it very clear, and he didn’t even cover it up at all. It was clearly to say that as long as the connection between the Marquis and the Viscounts was strengthened, there would be no further investigation.
“Then, Lord Marquis, how do you plan to strengthen the connection between the two?” Viscount Leofric still intends to make some concessions. Indeed, the Leofric family cannot withstand investigation.
Once the matter is exposed, it will lead to serious damage to the reputation of the Leofric family. The reputation, among the nobles of the kingdom, is still extremely useful.
That’s all. More importantly, it is very likely that he will be scolded by the high-level officials of the kingdom, especially if the young marquis in front of him is deliberately embarrassed, I am afraid it will be even more difficult to pass the test easily.
“We can talk about this matter slowly in the future. All in all, our Archimonde family strongly believes in Alfred’s Code, and will never allow violations of the Kingdom’s Code.” Leo said righteously.
Kingdom Code?
Viscount Leofric sneered for a while. As we all know, the law is the lowest requirement of human nature. According to the requirements of the Alfred Code, most of the behavior of the Leofric family must be restricted by Leo!
This is absolutely unacceptable for the Viscount.
“Sir Marquis,” the Viscount said with a smile, “I think we’d better clarify everything.”
Leo naturally wanted to negotiate all power slowly, but obviously, Lord Viscount saw Leo’s idea and rejected all of this, even at the expense of Leo’s threat.
In the end, the two sides took a step back, and a small secret agreement was born in the Viscount’s castle.
The moment he left the castle, Leo had an obvious happy expression on his face, but the Viscount’s expression was rather gloomy and distressed, but the moment Leo stepped out of the castle, there was a little more smile. , seems to be more of some unspeakable ease!
“Father, what did you promise that marquis?” Unira looked at the father in front of her nervously, feeling a little abnormal. Her father’s smile seemed a little weird, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
“You’ll find out later,” said the Viscount with a bit of disappointment on his face. He glanced at Unila, who was dazed in front of him, and shook his head gently.
……
After staying for a few months, when he returned to Lanxia City again, Leo looked at the magnificent city in front of him, and still had an indescribable sense of accomplishment.
Who can believe that this is a giant city built in a short period of time? The majestic blue-black city wall seems to be built in one piece and is extremely majestic.
Of course, what makes people feel more secure is the uniformed city guards on the city wall, the fiery red standard armor, which is covered with faint black patterns, which is the unique logo of the soldiers of the Archimonde family.
All the soldiers’ spears were polished brightly, and one soldier after another was in high spirits, overlooking everything.
And the endless caravans below show the prosperity of this city.
It was only after Leo returned that he discovered that the wasteland in the south of the city had become more and more scattered, but within it, there was a slight dissonance.
It was some extremely harsh feeling, in stark contrast to the peacefulness of the whole city.
This feeling greatly destroyed the stability of the entire city, making Leo a little unhappy.
“What’s going on?” Leo asked, pointing to the land in the distance. He had already guessed. There were sluggish dwarves on the ground, as well as those overseers with whips, which made him think, It seems to be too wasteful for the dwarves.
The dwarves’ forging skills are still good, although as prisoners of war, they can’t fight for themselves, but it is too wasteful to simply treat them as hard labor.
Especially… now there are some new prisoners of war, those giants!
They are not as easy to rule as dwarves. Giants are born with natural fighting talent. If they do, they will probably arouse great anger. If they cause riots, they may not be beautiful.
Hmm… It is necessary to reform.
So ~www.mtlnovel.com~ the next day.
All the dwarves were gathered together. On the wasteland south of the city, the dense dwarves looked at everything in front of them curiously. Their eyes were a bit dark, but they were also mixed with a bit of strange vitality.
Their thoughts are not as Leo thought, not that everything is dark, but they have some vague expectations.
Although everything here is very tiring, after all, the living environment is a level higher than before. In the extreme east Gobi, everything is desolate, and even the water source is rare, but here, as long as you work hard, it seems that the water source is simply enough. .
The dwarves, who rely on their physical strength as their fighting method, have also increased their strength quite terribly during this period of time. Some of them even have some nostalgia for the life here, and regard it as a kind of penance, although some things that hit people are that these Penance may never be used.
They know how terrifying the enemy’s strength is, and no matter how diligent the strength is, it is difficult to change all this, but after all, it is a joy in pain, and it is not so disgusting.
Therefore, when they are gathered together at this time, there are still many people who are worried, will this kind of life end here? Their days of working hard and exercising in exchange for water will not end there.
