Giving help in times of need is often more grateful than adding icing on the cake.
As a noble territory located on the border, the relationship between Idar Territory and Mann Fortress has always been relatively good.
In other words, throughout the entire Norman Empire, the relationship between the noble lords and the local imperial garrison generals was generally not too bad.
After all...the nobles are not stupid either. Although they will side with the Regent Council most of the time, it does not mean that they must offend the imperial generals who take orders from the royal family.
Moreover, as the Stuart family has been operating in the eastern part of the empire for generations, the generals guarding Mann Fortress have long had many (secret) contacts (communications) with the Stuart family. On weekdays,
Of course, welcome and send-off are indispensable.
In fact, the royal family is naturally aware of this widespread phenomenon.
for example……
Even the previous emperor Raphael Alexander, who focused on suppressing the authority of the nobility, did not mobilize the imperial army originally stationed near the Sogné Plain when he eradicated the Cornelius family.
Instead, they waited until the elite army of the empire stationed in the southern part of the empire, led by the second prince Reitz, arrived before letting anyone carry out this order.
Therefore, when Bruno heard that Mann Fortress was short of food and grass, he was very active in sending a large amount of food and baggage to help the imperial soldiers tide over the difficulties.
At the same time, under Bruno's instruction, these grains and baggage were hung with the flags and emblems of the Stuart family, Earl of Idar, so that the imperial soldiers could understand that the materials and baggage they used during these days were
Who provides the food and grass?
However, the generals stationed at Mann Fortress pretended not to know anything about Bruno's actions.
After all... if we get to the bottom of it, Sarah Column, the garrison general at Mann Fortress, and Adam Stuart, Bruno's father, the former earl, are old comrades who participated in the Northern Xinjiang Campaign together!
Moreover, it is obviously different from those plots in online novels where the protagonist is surrounded by enemies, both front and back. Like Viscount Conte, Sara Coren has always taken good care of Bruno.
It is precisely because of this level of relationship that the soldiers of Mann Fortress have never made things difficult for the convoys of the Idar Chamber of Commerce, and will even provide certain help when necessary.
Otherwise, Bruno should have attracted the attention of Fortress Mann as early as when he transported truckloads of bagasse waste from the Kingdom of Basel to the Idar Territory.
The Stuart family will naturally reciprocate the favor and send a large sum of money to Sarah Coren every year. It can be said that... it is with the support of the Idar leader that Sarah Coren can stabilize the situation.
Steadyly occupy the important position of guarding general of Mann Fortress.
"The Idar Territory has changed a lot."
In the study room of the lord's castle, the imperial general Sara Coren praised unabashedly: "The last time I came, Idar City was almost the same as other nobles, but this time, it is completely different.
Already."
"If it weren't for Uncle Colum who led the imperial soldiers to guard the Mann Fortress, how could Idarland have such a stable life." Bruno smiled and slapped a rainbow fart.
Sarah Coren used a fork to pull out a large piece of meat tumbling in the boiling water from the hot pot in front of her, and without even blowing on it a few times, she immediately put it into her mouth, "Well, you're talking too much."
It’s fake…”
Similar to Bruno, Sarah Coren is a rather different kind of noble. Although he also holds the title of noble, he has never paid attention to the so-called noble dignity.
In addition, the relationship between the two has always been good, so they are quite candid and there are no twists and turns.
Drink heavily, eat large pieces of meat, and hang out with the soldiers in the military camp...
These are the happy days in Sarah Colen's eyes!
"The Idar Territory has not yet recovered from the pirate attack. I plan to deliver a letter to St. Lawrence, requesting the Emperor and the Regent Council to let the imperial soldiers from Mann Fortress assist me in relieving the victims and resisting the pirates."
Bruno wiped the corners of his shiny mouth and said suddenly.
Hearing this, Sarah Coren couldn't help but raise her head and took a deep look at Count Idar sitting in front of her.
The young face displayed in front of him was still so handsome and graceful.
It's just that... my ability to tell lies with open eyes has improved a lot.
Regarding the pirate invasion theory, Sarah Coren can be said to have a thousand or ten thousand disbeliefs.
Everyone in Idar City lives and works in peace and contentment, there is a constant flow of business and travel, the streets and alleys are clean and tidy, and there is not even a ragged homeless man in the huge city of Idar!
Such a peaceful and peaceful scene appeared in front of Sarah Column's eyes. Is there any hint of a pirate invasion?
"Where are the pirates?" Sarah Colen asked somewhat speechlessly.
"The heroic Idar people fought bloody and hard, and finally put all their strength into repelling the pirate attack, guarding the lives and property of the Idar people, and safeguarding the Idar territory..."
"Speak humanly."
"I have wiped out all the pirates." Bruno rolled his eyes and said calmly.
"..."
"Are you afraid that I will be transferred to the front line to kill the enemy and die on the battlefield?"
"No, I'm actually afraid that the newly appointed general will have too many problems and find fault with me all day long, which will definitely affect the speed at which I make money." Bruno replied with a smile.
"..."
"Actually... it is good for everyone to have you here. The Idar Territory needs to develop stably, and the situation in the empire is not clear yet. If you rush forward rashly, your death will be in vain. It is better to stay peacefully in the Idar Territory."
, and...according to the current situation, will there be less opportunities for you to fight?"
Sarah Coren thought for a moment, then lowered her head and continued to cook.
Bruno continued, "Besides...if you need to fight, you have to understand why you are fighting, right? Is it for Pitzman who has ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, or for the second prince Retz who is far away in Sognen Plain?"
"Although guarding Mann Fortress is an important position and has a lot of troops on hand, it is far away from the center of the empire. For these two forces today, no matter who you defect to, you will only be a cannon fodder."
"I understand all of this, but...you must have other ideas, right?" Sarah Coren raised her head and said with a half-smile.
Facing Sara Coren, Bruno didn't hide it at all, so...he nodded naturally.
Edward Conte, Viscount of Conte, and Sara Coren, the garrison general of the Mann Fortress, these two people are the two people Bruno trusts most besides many of his confidants, and they are also the closest people the Stuart family has always had.
partners.
"I will ask someone to write a report tomorrow..." Sarah Coren paused, then said: "...about the serious situation facing pirate harassment in the eastern territory of the Norman Empire."
Sarah Coren is a smart person. He does love military life and the life-and-death battles on the battlefield, but this does not mean that he will have a straightforward brain circuit like Pitzman Alexander.
After saying that, the two couldn't help but look at each other and smile.
