Chapter 15 Behind the Knights of Hull
"Sir, the old village head of Lat Village has arrived first." The attendant of the castle said respectfully to Leo in front of him.
Under the candlelight, Leo's shadow was extremely long on the wall. He had a pair of beautiful blue eyes with a certain depth, and his handsome eyebrows were slightly frowned. After hearing what the attendant said, he smiled at the corner of his mouth and said, "Let him come in."
"
"Lord Baron, I am Cole, the mayor of Latte Village, and I am here to honor your summons." Old Village Chief Cole still had an exaggerated tone, and his wrinkled face seemed to show loyalty from the heart.
"Village Chief Cole, welcome to your arrival," Leo also had a smile on his face. This was the first of the five people who came after he issued the summons. Lat Village is not close, so the other party came.
So quickly, it was obvious that he had set off immediately upon being summoned.
From this point of view, the other party still deserves praise.
"Lord Baron, this is the current situation in Latte Village. There are eighty-two households in total. There is one blacksmith, one carpenter, one tailor, and the rest are farmers." Village Chief Cole presented a parchment scroll and said simply
Introducing everything about Lat Village.
"Very good, Village Chief Cole, I'm quite satisfied with your performance." Leo took out this small parchment, looked at the obviously hasty handwriting and the detailed descriptions, and looked in front of him.
Mayor Cole's eyes also became much gentler.
"Lord Baron, you are exaggerating. The Baron of Archimonde is your territory. It is Cole's blessing to serve you," Old Cole lowered his head and said with a smile.
"Very good, Chief Cole, you must be able to tell that Lat Village is too far away from Lanxia Village. I will build a big city on the original site of Lanxia Village. The current population is far from the standard of the city.
It's still too far, so I plan to let you move Lat Village here, what do you mean?" Leo narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Old Cole in front of him.
Gulu...
Old Cole said to himself, and sure enough, Simon's guess was right. Lat Village was too far away from Lanxia Village. This ambitious lord obviously planned to gather his strength, but unfortunately, he did not bargain at all.
possible.
"Of course," seeing Village Chief Cole about to speak, Leo smiled slightly again and said, "Village Chief Old Cole, talents like you are indispensable for the future of Lanxia City.
It’s just that being a village chief is too unqualified. After the village of Derate moves in, I will naturally have another appointment.”
What!
Hearing what Leo said, Village Chief Cole was naturally overjoyed. This was the appointment of an official and a wish. Village Chief Old Cole hurriedly replied loudly, "Thank you, Lord Baron, for the reward. These are what Old Cole should do.
Latte Village has always been your territory, it was before, it is now, and it will be in the future!"
…
In just two days, Leo had already met the remaining village chief of Black Rock Village and two knights, but the last one never returned to his position.
"That is to say, so far, only the Knight of Hel has not responded to my call, and has not left the knight's manor?" Leo looked at the clerk in front of him, who also had a look of anxiety on his face, fearing that he would be
The lord became angry.
"Master, Hull is clearly ignoring your authority. I beg you to send Brother Chat and me to teach that guy a lesson." Captain Cary said angrily. Since the news came out after transferring to Leo
With the blood lion's fighting spirit, Kari has clearly felt his terrifying increase in strength, and he is eager to try.
"Kali, please let someone investigate carefully. Hull's father once went to the battlefield and made great contributions. Hull also served in Changhe City a few years ago. He is not a idiot. He will not ignore the changes in Lanxia Village.
You know, to be so confident, I'm afraid there's something fishy going on." Leo frowned slightly and said.
"Master!" Captain Cary wanted to say more, but when he saw Leo's eyes, he suppressed the remaining half of his sentence.
"Lord Baron," Achile's shout came from outside the castle over there. Leo heard the words and looked around, but saw Achile saying with a bit of anxiety, "Lord Baron, I seem to
Now we know the support behind Hull."
"Huh? How do you know?" Leo frowned slightly. Achile was the leader of the caravan. Although the caravan was well-informed, Hull Manor was a bit remote after all, and the other party had never been there.
"I got the news that it's from the Mutt Chamber of Commerce and a famous big businessman in Changhe City, called Gatsby. Gatsby accounts for almost 60% of the lumber business and textile business in Changhe City, and he is very influential.
"Power." Achile said with a solemn face, "Some people saw their people visiting the Knights of Hel, and in the end many people stayed there."
"Two businessmen?" Leo also frowned, "With only two businessmen, does Hull have the courage to become my enemy?" Leo was indeed surprised. On the continent of Pandor, the bloodline
The noble class is strict, and this is especially brought to the extreme in the Kingdom of the Lion Realm.
The power and status of nobles are far beyond what commoners can match. How could two mere businessmen, no matter how rich they were, instigate their vassal, the Knight of Hull, to join them? Unless?
"There is someone behind them," Captain Kari said as if he finally understood. "They must be nobles from Changhe City!"
"Yes, Lord Baron, when I went to Changhe City to sell refined salt, they must have noticed it.
It seems that a caravan came before to buy refined salt, but you rejected it. Perhaps this was their counterattack." Achile said again, "As far as I know, Mutt, the president of the Mutt Chamber of Commerce,
His brother-in-law is Baron Kevin, and Baron Kevin is one of the best even in the huge Changhe City."
"That's what happened, but what about Baron Kevin?" Leo frowned slightly and said with some confusion, "I don't have much impression of Baron Kevin, but he is just a baron, no matter how strong he is, he will not be able to fight in the world.
Isn’t it right that a huge city like Changhe City is full of fish and dragons?"
"Yes, he is just a palace baron, so naturally there is nothing worthy of attention." Achile nodded, "The scary thing is Kevin's surname. His full name is Kevin Alama, and he is the famous Duke of Alama.
's son."
"Duke Alama!" Suddenly there were waves of exclamations in the audience. Even Leo's expression changed a little, and Uncle Winter, who had always been indifferent, frowned.
Who is the Duke of Alama? He is the Lord of the River City, one of the most powerful nobles in the entire Lion Realm Kingdom. His strength is extremely terrifying. He is a well-known presence even in the entire Pandor Continent. He has countless powerful soldiers and even has a horn behind his back.
The support from the summoned knights can be said to be powerful.
A nobleman behind the chamber of commerce would actually be related to such a giant. No wonder Achile had a bitter look on his face.
"Then shall we fight?" At this time, Captain Kari was also very scared. Obviously, the legendary Duke of Alama still gave him a great shock.
"Of course," Leo said in a deep voice, "Two mere businessmen dared to incite my vassals to provoke my rule in the Barony of Archimonde. I, Leo, took charge of this matter wherever it went.
The power of the nobility is protected by law, and even the Duke of Alama will not openly violate it.
Besides, I don’t think Baron Kevin will get much attention from the Duke of Alama, otherwise he would be a mere palace baron.”
Obviously, Leo's consideration was quite reasonable. The identity of a noble was far better than that of a commoner, so what if he was a businessman?
Moreover, the president of the Namute Chamber of Commerce will not personally come to seduce Baron Nahel. If he fails, it will be the crime of beheading. At most, he can find a scapegoat. If he wins, it will be easy to say. If he loses,
Then just act like nothing happened.
"Then I'll go get ready." Captain Kari bowed and bowed out respectfully. On this day, the entire Lanxia Village seemed to be on a high-intensity clockwork, and the whole village revealed a little chill.
Color, many soldiers were urgently gathered.
Seeing this scene, many villagers also knew that the lord was afraid that there was going to be a war.
Everyone knows that Baron Leo has great ambitions, has gathered countless refugees, prospered the village, and diligently cultivated military forces. His strength is absolutely terrifying, and it is definitely not strange to start a war.
