Of course, at this time, Leo also had some faint expectations.

There is no doubt that the Dragon Valley connected by the space-time array is a plane that does not belong to Pandor.

He actually saw those alien planes in his memory!

According to the memories left by our ancestors, alien planes mean a sudden increase 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 hint of solemnity in his eyes, "No one is allowed to mention anything 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. However, this order will eventually make the news leak slower.

Furthermore, only he himself has seen the scene of Dragon Nest. None of his subordinates, including Captain Cary, have seen the scene inside. It can be considered safe. Besides, the people of Viscount Leofric have never seen the scene.

Nearby, it can be considered within the radiation range of his influence.

Now it seems that it is necessary to strengthen the influence in the Leofric family. In the past, this step was put at a later stage, but now it is necessary to move forward.

…

"The Marquis' team has appeared again?" Viscount Leofric was also confused at this time. There was only one way to return to the town of Trubrun from the Tarik Mountains and he had arrived there early.

Why did the Marquis disappear with the team for so long and then suddenly reappear? What exactly happened?

For a moment, Viscount Leofric felt confused and couldn't figure things out.

But fortunately, the Marquis finally came back. This was one of the few pieces of good news, and Leofric felt relieved inside.

…

At this time, news had already spread in the town of Trubrun.

"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 Tarik Mountains!" Many townspeople looked a little unbelievable.

"That's the Marquis, do you think he's an ordinary noble? The well-known commander in our kingdom, his achievements back then were quite amazing!" A businessman said with a bit of admiration.

"To celebrate the defeat of those damn giants, our ale is free today!" the tavern owner shouted excitedly. His son died in the defense of Trubrun not long ago.

This time, upon hearing the news that the giants had finally turned pale, the tavern owner was so excited that he couldn't help himself.

"There it is, coming!" Some townspeople exclaimed.

In the distance, giants with majestic heights and majestic bodies are slowly moving towards here.

It was these giants who not long ago attacked the town of Trubrun with great force and caused astonishing killings, but now they are all dejected and no longer have any majesty!

"Look at those giants, they can't play harp now," one of the townspeople looked very excited.

"Your Majesty the Marquis, my father is in poor health and has difficulty walking out of the castle, so I came to greet your triumph on his behalf." Unilla said excitedly as she walked out of the town.

"Well," Leo nodded lightly, not bothering too much about Viscount Leofric. He turned to Captain Cary beside him and said, "You take them back to the Marquis Territory first, and I'll talk to the Viscount.

Reminiscing about old times, I should be able to catch up with you soon."

Seeing Captain Kari leading a large number of giants to leave, Unilla seemed a little surprised. Naturally, he didn't know that Leo was now trying to avoid contact between soldiers and the viscounty.

The Marquis Territory is not far away from the Viscount Territory. Leo cannot be 100% sure whether there will be people placed by the Viscount Territory in his team. At present, he just wants to ensure that the information will not leak out. Naturally, he is not willing to do so if it is an urgent matter.

The soldiers under his command had contact with the viscounty.

…

"My Lord Marquis, your trip has wiped out the giant clan in the Tarik Mountains, so that there will no longer be any alien threats on the southeastern border, and you have maintained the majesty of the kingdom. It can be said that you have done a great service to the kingdom," Viscount Leofric smiled.

He came over and said, "Unfortunately, I am in poor health and cannot lead the soldiers of the viscounty to defend the reputation of the kingdom with you."

"My prestige is only temporary. The long-term safety of the kingdom's southeastern border still depends on you, Viscount," Leo waved his hand politely and said, "It's just that there was still some unfamiliarity between the Marquis and the Viscount.

Just like this time, if I hadn't gotten the news in time, the town of Trubrun would have fallen.

I feel that in order to ensure peace on the borders of the Kingdom in the future, the Marquis and the Viscount should deepen their ties and promote each other, what do you think, Viscount?"

"This..." Viscount Leofric hesitated subconsciously, and was very anxious in his heart. He knew that this young marquis did not want the viscountdom to wander outside his sphere of influence.

Viscount Leofric has always known that the other party has great ambitions, but from Leo's previous attitude towards the viscounty, he mistakenly thought that the other party would have enough patience to slowly weaken the influence of the viscounty.

What threat will it pose to the Marquisate?

But why, this time when the other party came back, he seemed to be a little more aggressive?

Could it be that he was stimulated by something?

That's not right, the Viscount still knows the strength of the Marquis Territory. Although those giants have terrifying combat power, they are still insufficient when facing the elites of the kingdom - these soldiers of the Marquis Territory.

When Leo led the team here, Viscount Leofric was reassured. This time it was a natural result. The Marquis would not be irritated?

Could it be that something happened? Then what happened when the Marquis's team suddenly disappeared a while ago?

For a moment, Viscount Leofric only felt more and more confused, but soon he was just thinking too much.

Because the Marquis can be said to have become aggressive this time.

"Lord Marquis, this kind of thing is still too involved. After all, the Marquis Territory and the Viscounty Territory are independent territories. They work together for the Silver Throne and are responsible for the Kingdom of the Lion Realm. If you want to strengthen the connection between the two of us, I am happy to do so.

"I'm aware of this matter, but it's better to keep some distance," the Viscount said with narrowed eyes, as if he was preparing to welcome Leo's rage.

"But Marquis, my spies in the empire have already sent news that the empire is preparing to choose a new marshal. Emperor Marius is trying to use a victory over the kingdom to stabilize the empire's recent uneasy situation." Leo.

Viscount Leofric stared in front of him and said, "The empire's army may march across the Tarik Mountains at any time.

In this case, I cannot guarantee the safety of the viscounty, so I suggest that Viscount Leofric carefully consider my proposal. For example, this time, Viscount, you have neglected your duty and did not inform me about the giant at the first time.

A clan matter." Leo's expression became extremely serious.

this……

In an instant, the atmosphere here suddenly became tense and a bit stagnant. If anyone came here, they would probably be startled. This was a confrontation between two powerful nobles, and their energy was extremely terrifying.

"And I heard that the giants came to attack this time, but due to some things," Leo suddenly curled up his lips, "They have surrendered to me, and a few giants are talking crazy words.

It is said that the previous siege of the small town of Tribulun was caused by certain actions of your family, Viscount.

Of course, attacking the kingdom's border is an unpardonable crime, but if there are some causes and consequences, I feel that as a powerful marquis on the kingdom's border, I have an obligation to investigate all of this."

"But Lord Marquis," Leofric felt powerless for a moment, with a little helplessness in his heart. He knew that this was a handle. Regarding the matter of facing the giants, the original cause was indeed a certain member of his family.

Caused by some greed.

This was an unavoidable fact, and the Viscount couldn't help but frown.

"Viscount, I hope you can understand what is more important," Leo frowned, "I investigated this matter for the sake of peace on the kingdom's borders.

The reason why we want the connection between the viscounty and the marquisate to be closer is to ensure the peace of the kingdom’s borders.”

this……

The viscount suddenly smiled bitterly. Leo had made it very clear, without even covering it up at all. It was clear that as long as the connection between the marquis and the viscount was strengthened, there would be no further investigation.

"Then, Lord Marquis, how are you going to strengthen the connection between the two?" Viscount Leofric still planned to make some concessions. Indeed, the Leofric family cannot withstand investigation.

Once the matter is exposed, it will cause serious damage to the reputation of the Leofric family. Reputation is still extremely useful among the nobles of the kingdom.

That's all. What's more important is that he is very likely to be criticized by the kingdom's senior officials, especially if the young marquis in front of him deliberately makes things difficult for him.

"We can discuss this matter later. All in all, our Archimonde family strongly believes in Alfred's Code and will never allow violations of the Kingdom's Code to occur." Leo said righteously.

Kingdom code?

Viscount Leofric sneered. As we all know, law is the lowest requirement of human nature. According to the requirements of Alfred's Code, most of the actions of the Leofric family must be restricted by Leo!

This is absolutely unacceptable to the Viscount.

"Your Majesty the Marquis," the Viscount said with a smile, "I think it would be best for us to explain everything clearly."

Leo naturally wanted to slowly negotiate all the powers, but obviously, the Viscount saw Leo's thoughts and rejected everything, even ignoring Leo's threats.

In the end, both parties took a step back, and a small secret agreement was born in the Viscount's castle.

The moment he left the castle, there was an obvious expression of joy on Leo's face, but the Viscount's expression was quite gloomy and distressed. However, the moment Leo stepped out of the castle, he was a little more smiling.

, it seems to be more of some indescribable ease!

"Father, what did you promise to the Marquis?" Unilla looked at her father in front of her anxiously, feeling that something seemed a little abnormal. Her father's smile seemed a little weird, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

"You will know later," the Viscount said with a bit of sadness on his face. He glanced at the confused Unila in front of him and shook his head gently.

…

(Automatically updated after half an hour)

Surrender? What a ridiculous term. The Tower Shield Tribe is the first tribe of the giants. They have always been arrogant and would rather die in battle than surrender. This has always been their tradition. But at this moment, the tower shield tribe’s highly respected giants

Elder, you actually said you wanted to surrender?

Or should they surrender to these humans who have killed countless of their people?

For a moment, Sukete didn't know what to do. He knew the great elder's prestige, and even he himself was somewhat dependent on the great elder!

"Dear human lord, our Tower Shield tribe is willing to surrender to you. Please stop fearlessly killing our Tower Shield tribe. If you are willing to treat us well, from now on, the Tower Shield tribe can become your strongest

Warrior!" the great elder shouted in a deep voice, and his voice spread throughout the world.
