120 hope
"Why did the Lord suddenly summon us?" Captain Cary said with some surprise.
"I heard that His Majesty the King's messenger is here, and I'm afraid there's going to be a war!" Rebelela knew better, so she spoke directly. Anyway, since they were all found, there was nothing she couldn't say.
"No way, we're going to fight again? There's nothing nearby that we can fight with, right?" Clark frowned slightly, looking a little puzzled.
"Just because there's nothing nearby, doesn't mean there's nothing far away," Leo's voice came in. Along with a figure in bright red noble uniform, everyone in the hall hurriedly stood up to greet him.
"Sir, just give me the order. I will definitely teach those enemies who dare to offend you a lesson for you!" Captain Cary said very proudly. Today's Captain Cary is not what he used to be.
Two months ago, Leo named Captain Cary and Karak a knight in the name of their meritorious service in suppressing rebellion, and asked the old Marquis Budden to use the connections of the Klein family to allow the Noble Court to pass quickly.
This application.
The status of a noble in the Lion Realm is extraordinary, but it also means that it is extremely difficult to obtain. Fortunately, it is only a virtual title rather than a real title. With the application of a real marquis like him, all decisions were made very quickly.
Of course, although the palace nobility is only a virtual title, it does not mean that there is a fiefdom, but it has been recognized by the will of the kingdom and can practice noble war duties. After spending more than a month, Captain Cary and Clark successfully
A seventh-level Fierce Lion Realm armed infantry changed his profession and became a seventh-level Fierce Lion Realm Grand Knight squire.
This job change can definitely be called a leap in strength, and Captain Cary is naturally eager to try it.
"It's not that you offended me," Leo smiled to appease Captain Cary. Although this fool was a bit straightforward, he was very trustworthy when using it. He would never hit the west when pointing east, "We are here
The first enemy was the Principality of Isha.”
"The Principality of Isha?" Freya was slightly surprised.
Many people have forgotten her past. Freya's status is quite embarrassing. She had a close relationship with Leo. Coupled with her daily performance, she would not be treated like a captive in the past. However, the other party has not planned to do so.
Leaving feels like settling down here.
Leo asked Uncle Wente about this matter more than once, but every time Uncle Wente smiled and said nothing. After all, the opponent's strength was extraordinary. Even Leo who had awakened his bloodline was not sure of subduing this Fu.
Rhea never showed any malice, and everyone almost ignored her.
Unexpectedly, this time, the other party would take the initiative to speak.
"How come I haven't heard of this so-called Principality of Isha?" Captain Kari said, rubbing his head and frowning.
"It is a principality in the great forest to the east of us. It is small in area and very weak in strength," Rebella said. After all, she came from a noble family. Although it has declined, she still has the necessary knowledge. With Captain Cary
There is a clear difference between this big guy.
"That's it," Captain Cary muttered, and said no more. He didn't understand the enemy at all, which made him very embarrassed and couldn't talk nonsense.
"How much do you know?" Leo heard what Rebella said, but he didn't know as much as he did. Fortunately, he looked at Freya on the other side.
"The Principality of Isha worships the legendary forest goddess Viviya, and is willing to learn the mainstream music culture of Pendor. There are not many people in the country. The country is called Kalfu, and its scale is much smaller than that of Lanxia City.
The mainstream combat class is the green forest guard. Well... to be honest, it is almost similar to the civilian combat class in the Lion Realm. However, it should be noted that their divine tree warriors are still quite powerful, but their number is particularly rare.
It is said that it has the attention of the Forest Goddess." Freya frowned and said, "I don't know whether this news is true or not, but the Principality of Isha has survived from the ancient Pende Kingdom to the present. Obviously, this cannot be ignored."
Freya seemed to have realized something, and tried her best to play her role, trying to integrate into this small group. After all, she and the Marquis were not completely hostile, and coupled with her relationship with Leo, it was difficult to integrate.
, much smaller than the average person.
"Forest goddess..." Captain Kari muttered softly, angrily and a bit dull. Originally, when he heard the first half of the sentence, they thought they were having a light battle, but the second half of it was shocking.
God!
Anything associated with this word is not a good thing for the gods. If it is really proved that the Isha Principality has the protection of gods behind it, doesn't it mean that it is impossible for them to do anything to each other?
Leo's color changed a little. After all, he had seen the projection of the legendary snake god in the capital before. Such momentum and power were really frightening!
"Actually, there is no need to worry too much about the forest goddess," a gentle voice sounded, breaking the original silence. Leo looked at the middle-aged man who spoke with a bit of joy, which was naturally Uncle Winter.
Uncle Wente has become less and less concerned about the affairs of the Marquis. If it was due to commitment or other reasons at first, he had to participate in some things that from his family's point of view seemed like playing house.
Now that Leo has initially established a certain foundation, Uncle Winter has become more and more casual. Anyway, such meetings are rarely attended, but everyone knows that, really speaking, this is the real person of the Marquis.
’s second-in-command.
"The Pandor gods have an agreement not to interfere in mundane affairs at will. They may use certain means to slowly guide the occurrence of some situations, but they are absolutely impossible to directly interfere with the direction of the war between the two countries.
This is a necessary agreement between the gods. If Viviya dares to take action against you, her fate will be quite tragic. Therefore, as long as you do not do anything blasphemous in the Principality of Isha, you do not need to worry too much about the forest goddess."
Uncle Winter said calmly, his knowledge was so profound that he even knew such secrets.
Of course, Leo would not let anyone commit such an act of blasphemy, giving the gods an excuse to take action.
"What about the projection of the snake god from before?" Leo seemed to have thought of something, and was even more puzzled.
"Believers draw the projection of gods to come through the power of faith. This is one of the few ways for gods to interfere with the world, but it comes at a huge cost. Only the snake god's divine power can have such power.
Viviya cannot do this even if she tries her best," Uncle Winter seemed to understand. "Even if you briefly destroy the Isha Principality, after they have been in exile for a period of time, a new generation will be born in the principality.
A powerful person favored by God, under the guidance of the Forest Goddess, returned to his country again.
Although the Forest Goddess cannot take action directly, she can convey information to her followers, so you cannot underestimate the other party simply because of their weakness."
Uncle Went ordered again.
"So scary," Captain Cary shrank his head, no longer as heroic as before.
"Clark, how many soldiers do we have now?" Leo straightened his face slightly and looked at Clark.
"Sir, currently Lanxia City is the main one. The soldiers of the entire Marquis Territory, excluding the city guards, are divided into seven brigades, with a total of 924 people," Clark replied skillfully without blinking.
.
"Then I will take five brigades with me this time," Leo said directly. "You pick the strongest one, and then the Lion Guard will go with me."
"I am willing to serve you, Lord Marquis!" Frank and Clark stood up and said. The Lion Guard was formed by merging the recruited lion knights and lion retinues, and then recruited several retinues of the kingdom's high knights with noble blood.
A team of nearly thirty people formed.
Of course, the combat effectiveness of this team can be regarded as the elite of the entire Marquis Territory!
"Also, after I leave, Rebella, you must remember to continue to recruit soldiers. The current population of the Marquis is more than 900, which is not too much." Leo said, although the huge standing army would bring him
There has been tremendous salary pressure, but now we are not short of money.
In particular, he plans to reopen the sale of two commodities, which will undoubtedly bring more wealth to the Marquis Territory, and accordingly, it will require stronger forces to protect it.
…
At this time, on the edge of the Dongling Forest, at the junction of the forest and the Jatu Grassland, there were a few scattered cities and small towns, where people living in costumes that were very different from those in most parts of Pendor lived.
At this time, in an extremely tall palace, the luxurious pearls reflected the entire palace extremely brightly.
"That damn old lion seems to be really targeting us!" A tall and majestic old man wore a crown of the king of the East. His royal robes were particularly majestic. His huge crutches were even more luxurious, and all kinds of jewelry were extremely carved.
Exquisite, but this old man who originally seemed very majestic now looked a little panicked.
"These big countries want to fight all day long, and they also want to involve us. Damn it, I just said that we shouldn't accept the support of the Crow Kingdom. This is great." There was another person wearing light green who didn't know what he was talking about.
The officer wearing plant armor said angrily.
"Hmph, you're talking lightly. It's not like you don't know how difficult the kingdom's finances have been in recent years. If you don't accept it, we will not only offend the Crow Kingdom, but also starve to death for a large number of people!" A man also said with a gloomy face.
, "This is our destiny anyway.
The old lion wants to start a war with the Kingdom of Crowland, but he also wants to get a start, so he wants to beat us."
"Damn it," the king heard this and clenched the crutch in his hand, with veins popping out on his hand. This was naturally a great irony for a king!
"I heard that the person who is coming to attack us this time is a young newly promoted noble in the Kingdom of the Lion Realm. His fiefdom is not far from the kingdom," another minister said, but his words made a big difference.
