Fort Spear.
With the arrival of a new day, Marquis Reeve began his dull life.
He is Endor who followed the previous Duke.
Speaking carefully, the Duke is not simple.
Not to mention his strong soldiers and horses, he won the trust of the king. He was the same as the 'Lion Duke' Varian de Storm, the 'Duke of the Sun' Dulu Leopold, and the 'Invincible Golden Bear' Bol II. The most powerful battlefield hero has attracted countless admirers.
It can be said that as long as they show their names, people will come to join them. Countless knights are willing to charge on the battlefield for them, and countless businessmen are willing to donate food and money to them.
However, Duke Yaori was the heir to the East Gorge, and of course he had to inherit his title. The same was true for the Northern Lion. He only had a loyal master and no large territory, so he was canonized as Duke of Endor by the king, which was considered to be airborne.
The Marquis of Reeve followed the Duke to Endor and wanted to do something big. The barbarians of Endor were in disarray. Even though they did not recognize the identity of the Duke, because the tribesmen fought on their own, the strong Duke was victorious against the tribesmen. They even robbed several mines.
It's a pity that the battle not only benefited one's own side, but also accelerated the development and integration of the tribe's natives. Powerful tribes began to appear one after another, until in the end the Duke was decapitated.
And because he was more cautious in doing things, Marquis Reeve actually lived a stable life, but he never took the initiative to ask for help from the king. As for the reason... the mine was not finished yet, he had to make money.
The mithril mine that was mined some time ago was finally finished, and the output was actually not very large. In addition, the grassland natives circled around the Spear Castle every day, which made him panic, so he asked the king for help. Who could have imagined that so many things would happen in the end? .
The central part was made a mess by Earl White Dragon. As a "pro-king faction", Marquis Reeve certainly did not dare to stay, so he could only return to Spear Castle in despair.
To say that he had a hard time would not be wrong.
Because the tribe natives are not a monolith, on the contrary, they often fight and compete. If one tribe catches another tribe, they will either take them all into their own tribe to increase their strength.
The tribal natives who had great hatred only wanted the women to be used as reproductive tools, and all the men were sold as slaves, or simply killed as sacrifices to avoid wasting food.
Therefore, Marquis Reeve can spend money to do business with the indigenous people, win over some, divide others, and maintain a balance amidst the pulling and pushing. Although the mine is gone, life is not too difficult.
Speaking of a boring life, Marquis Reeve loved nothing else but other people's wives.
Like a noble lady at a ball, he doesn't like the slutty kind.
It was even more boring to have beautiful girls who were not picked up flocking in. He didn't like the young ones.
I just like vegans, the fc2 kind.
As a marquis, as long as the money is available, few people will refuse a good opportunity to entrust their wife and children. They will even help guard the door, not to mention giving a push from behind, but they will happily say thank you for teaching me skills.
Yes, as a nobleman, he is good at everything except that he likes to teach others.
Marquis Reeve looked at the people sitting reservedly aside and was about to start speaking when he heard a knock on the door.
"What's wrong?" I couldn't hold back my anger.
Evil fire mixed with anger is meant to be slapped.
When the door opened, he was about to give him a slap when he heard the footman nervously say: "My lord, Lord Lenan de is here."
"Leinan De?" As one of his trusted knights, Lenan De comes often, but this is the first time he comes in a hurry so early in the morning.
"What happened?"
"He said..." the manservant whispered, "said...that he killed someone."
"kill?"
What a big deal, he actually interrupted his class. Marquis Reeve became even more angry, and he was ready to burn this fire directly on Lenan De.
It's nothing for nobles to kill people. Some time ago, there was a noble who heard about a method of making bracelets made of human skulls, so he selected dozens of people according to their head shapes, chopped off their heads, removed the flesh and bones, and took out their thumbs. Large and small pieces of bone are polished and made into bracelets.
There are countless cruel things than this.
Human life?Oh, what a fart.
A gold day cannot buy a noble smile, but it can buy dozens of human lives. Where human lives are not as good as dogs, it can buy hundreds, or even more.
"He's from Zharti."
Geek!
A basin of cold water was poured on his head, extinguishing the fire in Marquis Reeve's heart.
His throat was dry and he squeezed several times before he could barely force out his voice: "Who?! Who are you talking about?"
"Zarti" the manservant repeated again.
The Zharti family is a combination of local tribes and foreign nobles. Of course, it was a hundred years ago, so they retain the fierceness of the tribe, and at the same time, they also have some aristocratic rules that have been assimilated to the point where they are almost superficial, such as the "Zarti" after assimilation. "Erti" surname, family crest, and some unusual etiquette.
His style of doing things is not similar to that of the nobles. He believes in retribution and does not follow the unspoken rules among nobles at all.
Although it is not a top-notch large tribe in the Golden Grassland, and cannot compare with the 5 elite cavalry of the Barbarian Mane Tribe, it still has several thousand cavalry under its command, and the trade routes are very open, and it is not as stupid as other tribes.
If you have money, soldiers, and swords, you won't be provoked if you can.
"Then send Lenan to Twin Eagle City!" He threw his most trusted subordinate out without thinking. He had already ruined it, and his subordinates were still causing trouble for him.
I can't solve trouble, but I can solve people who cause trouble.
The manservant continued in a low voice: "It was not Lord Lenan De who took action, it was Porcupine's caravan."
"Who?!" The voice was louder this time.
If the Zharti family is difficult to deal with, then Porcupine must not be messed with. He has seen with his own eyes how arrogant the other party is.
"Why is he here? How did that bastard Lenan get involved with him?"
At best, the Zharti family doesn't abide by the rules of the nobility. Does that mean Porcupine doesn't abide by the rules? That means destroying your whole family as long as you have a grudge, just like a mad pig. Didn't you see that Monkey Island has been incorporated? Just because the Tuna family didn't have the foresight to attack his island, the problem has not been successful.
Marquis Reeve walked quickly to the castle hall and saw Lenan De with a calm face.
"Good day, my lord!"
"Well," Marquis Reeve tried to keep his mind calm and asked, "What, what's going on? I heard that you had a conflict with the Zharti family?"
Lenan De nodded and gritted his teeth and said: "Those barbarians knew that Lord Porcupine's caravan passed by my hunter leader to stay overnight, and they actually had evil thoughts on them. Originally, I planned to give some money to settle the matter, but they wanted to They captured all the people and even insulted Lord Li Qi. The caravan soldiers couldn’t bear it, so they rushed up and killed those bastards.”
Marquis Reeve only half-believed what Lenan said, staying the night? Passing by? Do you believe it yourself?
But no matter what kind of dirty deal there is, Marquis Reeve can only pretend not to know about this. He doesn't want to understand. He can't afford to offend the porcupine. How can he only dare to be incompetent and furious when he doesn't see the king? Oh, by the way, the king is now even incompetent and furious. I didn't dare to say anything, for fear that Porcupine would send troops directly to Feixiang Valley.
