"Yes, because of his strength, because Earl Hongfeng is strong enough.
Perhaps it is not very strong for the Marquis Morse family, but the current situation is different.
Now the Marquis of Morse has just split from the Northern Empire, and the situation is unstable, and may even be attacked by the Northern Empire at any time.
Under this situation, purging Earl Hongfeng will most likely cause damage to his own strength and lead to turmoil in the southern border of the entire kingdom."
Zou Peng also nodded, thought for a while and said.
"According to the investigation, it seems that the only marriage relationship between Marquis Morse and Earl Hongfeng is to marry one of their daughters to Earl Hongfeng's eldest son as his wife.
In addition, the two families have no direct relationship, so it is unlikely that the Marquis Morse family would voluntarily hand over the transportation fortress and economic city in the kingdom that is second only to the royal capital, and even vaguely surpasses the royal capital, to an outsider.
Unless absolutely necessary.
The reason why we did not take action against Earl Hongfeng is simply because we need stability, and the time is not right now."
Zou Peng also became much more relaxed.
"If that's the case, then the problem is simple.
As long as we are strong enough, Marquis Morse will definitely not mind us taking Earl Hongfeng's place.
Because he originally planned to stabilize the external situation first and then deal with us.
Therefore, this knighthood should have two tasks.
If we are weak, Marquis Morse will definitely not miss the opportunity and directly take over Red Maple City.
And if we are strong enough, we can recruit nobles, recognize our legal status, and let us take over Red Maple City.
Because we have just arrived, and our values are essentially in conflict with the local nobles, Marquis Morse will not worry about us occupying Red Maple City. In the end, we will be as powerful as the Earl of Red Maple. We will fight with the local nobles and continue to have internal conflicts.
Even if we kill all the local nobles, Red Maple City will fall into complete collapse, which will drag us down.
By the time the situation in Red Maple City is stabilized and development begins, Marquis Morse will probably have stabilized the external situation in the kingdom, marched to the city, and directly accepted a clean Red Maple City."
Mo Lan shrugged.
"So not only is Marquis Morse not angry about the death of Earl Hongfeng, he is actually very happy."
"Damn it, I even doubt that this knights are the envoys and they won't do anything at all.
I can directly pardon you and make you a noble. Well, it's a bit higher. It's better to go to the earl in one step and entrust the land of Red Maple City.
In this way, there is no need to secretly support others. Other nobles in Red Maple City will directly regard you as a thorn in their side.
They had completely swallowed up Earl Hong Maple's original property. They couldn't accept that a grassroots person suddenly had a higher status than them, and they couldn't accept that the Red Maple City that belonged to them was taken away by others.
If we are not strong enough, we will naturally be beaten to death by these nobles; if we are strong enough, we will fall into his plan."
A smile appeared on Zou Peng's face.
"This is a very perfect plan. If we are really locals, maybe we will go exactly according to his plan.
But we are players, and there is an information gap in the middle. The process is the same, but the results are not necessarily the same."
Zou Peng smiled.
"Is it difficult to govern a Red Maple City? It was indeed very difficult in the Middle Ages. Not many people could read or write, and almost all of them belonged to aristocratic families.
Without nobility, it would be impossible to maintain order and rule.
But for us, are a thousand college students enough?
If it’s not enough, then give me a thousand more.”
Mo Lan and Zou Peng looked at each other and smiled, but then Mo Lan's smile faded.
"These are all our guesses. Before that, I still have to verify the strength of this knighthood.
No matter what time it is, strength must always speak for itself.
If we are not strong enough, no matter how well we manage Red Maple City, we will only be someone else's bag."
"Um."
Zou Peng's smile also faded and he nodded.
"What are you going to do?"
"I'll go there myself to make sure."
"Then be careful and don't get into trouble."
"It's okay, I can fly."
Mo Lan didn't waste much time and went straight back to pack his things. A few minutes later, Mo Lan appeared at the top of the mage tower carrying a large package.
"Come on, come on, lift it up for me and load it up."
In Mo Lan's greeting, several people lifted a hang glider to the top of the mage tower and assembled it, and a behemoth appeared on the top of the mage tower.
The glider frame is made of dark wood, which is light and hard, and its surface is covered with a layer of Warcraft skin, which is very tough.
The entire gliding wing had a wingspan of eight meters, making Mo Lan look a bit small standing in front of him.
"What the hell, Mo Lan, what are you talking about?"
Zou Peng's eyes widened and he shouted.
"Glider."
"Where did you come from?"
"It was a gift from Eternal Blazing Sun. We were talking about a project before, and Eternal Blazing Sun gave me a hang glider as a token of friendship."
"I want to play too."
"Hahaha, this big toy will drop someone to death. I can fly and I'm not afraid of falling, but can you?"
Mo Lan's words made Zou Peng pause and silently squatted in the corner.
"Well, hahahaha!"
Mo Lan yelled, lying down on the sleeping bag under the hang glider, and put the package aside.
With the howling wind, the glider left the mage tower directly and swooped down.
But before the hang glider landed, a strong wind blew from bottom to top, blowing on the hang glider from front to back.
The huge wings of the hang glider face the wind, and a lift pushes the hang glider into the sky.
The wind technique!
The wind technique!
Time and time again, the right wind technique kept pushing the glider higher, gradually turning into a black dot in the field of vision, flying away at high speed.
The strong wind roared thousands of meters high in the sky, and Mo Lan used a water shield on his body to resist the strong wind.
The glider's speed was much faster than Mo Lan's own floating.
Driven by Mo Lan's magic, he also used the aerodynamic layout of the glider to convert altitude into speed.
In the blink of an eye, the speed of the hang glider was pushed to nearly one hundred kilometers per hour, tens of meters per second. This feeling of flying at such a high speed made Mo Lan extremely happy.
Floating by yourself requires the cooperation of Featherfall Technique, Mage's Hand, and Fire Ring Resistance. That is equivalent to the speed of an old lady walking and there is no comparison with this.
From the beginning to the end, Mo Lan's hang gliding only used a few powerful wind techniques, directly pushing the speed to more than 100 kilometers per hour.
Mo Lan roared happily, and the sound echoed in the high school several kilometers away. However, when flying at high speed, he did not forget to use the magic eagle eye to determine the position and correct the direction.
In the sky above Red Maple City, without anyone knowing, Mo Lan flew past at high speed, and the eagle eyes in the sky could clearly see Red Maple City.
Moving forward along the road, at a speed of more than 100 kilometers per hour, Mo Lan quickly saw the knights, his smile gradually faded, and his face became slightly cautious.
Turning around to open the package and looking at the entire package of spell scrolls inside, Mo Lan began to spin, lowering the height little by little.
