Don't look at Count Kevin, whether he is an important minister of the kingdom or a general who commands the army, in fact, he has never been on the battlefield, and he has never even held a sword.

He was able to obtain today's status because he inherited the shadow of his ancestors.

If he is allowed to go to the court to come to the mouth cannon, he will be able to fight countless martial artists, but if he fights with real swords and guns, he will be brave if he is not scared.

Don't say it's him, even the officers and soldiers of the Kale County garrison are mostly uneducated.

After all, it is located in the center of the kingdom, and there has been no war for decades, and it is understandable that the armament is in disuse.

At this time, he heard that an army of 100,000 was about to come to the city, so how could he not be afraid.

Seeing his expression, Viscount Neil couldn't help but feel a little disdainful, it seems that these children of the gate valve family who have been inherited for dozens or hundreds of years are nothing more than that, and now things will be easy to do.

He said directly: "Don't hide it from my junior brother, I actually came here this time with a military order from Governor Renard. ”

Thinking that this Earl Kevin was not completely ignorant of military affairs, when he heard the word military order, his attitude immediately straightened up: "Senior, please speak." ”

Viscount Neil cleared his throat and said with a smile: "Governor Renard has led troops all the way from the Southern Wilderness County, and the consumption of materials and armaments is very large, and the roads of this Ten Thousand Beast Forest are rugged and dangerous, and the materials are inconvenient to transport......"

He didn't continue, but gave the other person a "you know" look.

Earl Kevin immediately understood, patted his chest and said: "Governor Renard is working for state affairs, and this time he is here to help my Kale County garrison pacify the demon plague, so we naturally need to supply the supplies." ”

The words were happy, but in fact, his heart had begun to drip blood.

Providing food and supplies to an army of 100,000, even if the other party only stays here for two or three months, is enough to ruin everything he eats.

However, he didn't dare to disobey Lei Ye's intentions, thinking in his heart that as long as he could keep peace in this game between the king and the two families, he would definitely be able to make up for the losses in the future.

Hearing this, Viscount Neil showed a teachable expression, but he was actually very excited in his heart.

Renard's purpose in letting him come here was simply to solicit, and he didn't want to take such a big advantage for nothing.

Viscount Neil has already begun to calculate how much benefit he can get from this matter.

Earl Kevin meets him

After a long pause, he couldn't help but ask, "Does Governor Renard have anything else to order?"

Viscount Neil recovered from his fugue, quickly retracted the smile on his face, and said, "Senior brother, I forgot that I forgot before I came, and the Governor also ordered a big matter before I came. ”

As he spoke, the expression on his face gradually became solemn, as if there was something really important.

Seeing this, Earl Kevin couldn't help but get nervous and asked, "What's the big deal?"

In fact, he vaguely guessed what the other party wanted to say, it was nothing more than wanting him to send troops to help quell the demon plague and bandits.

Earl Kevin made up his mind that he would not take sides in this game no matter what.

However, things often come unexpectedly, and Viscount Neil said: "Governor Renard has received definite news that a group of bandits disguised as outcasts have infiltrated the city of Quill with bad intentions, and he has asked the Earl to go and suppress the bandits." ”

The corners of Earl Kevin's eyes twitched slightly, and he instantly understood what Lei Ye meant.

Viscount Neil looked at the other party with a smile: "Not many people know about this matter, because you are my junior, and the Governor has given you this great credit for the sake of my face." ”

"If it weren't for our classmates, the Governor wouldn't have given up this credit to anything. ”

Without waiting for Earl Kevin to excuse himself, Viscount Neil added again: "Junior brother, don't be in a hurry to thank you, it's not too late for you and me to drink and talk after the matter is completed." ”

Hearing this, Earl Kevin looked at the other party's smiling expression, and wanted to take off his boots and throw them in the face.

Isn't it especially because I want Lao Tzu to completely break with the Creighton family!

Those who grew up in Kale County don't know that Güell is one of the important bases of the Creighton family, and most of the Creighton family's wealth over the years is hidden in this city.

Although the population of Güell was less than 20,000, two-thirds of them were private soldiers raised by the Creighton family.

These private soldiers were different from the garrison soldiers under his command, they were all brave and fearless, and many of them were robbers who used to rob their homes.

Of course, from this point of view, the information that Renard provided him was accurate.

Earl Kevin was silent for a long time, and finally stumbled and said, "Thank you Governor Renard and the senior for taking care of you, but this matter of suppressing bandits has always been the responsibility of the local garrison

, not something that our military can intervene in. ”

After he said this, he immediately admired his wit.

With a reason for refusal, Earl Kevin spoke a lot of neatly: "The duty of our garrison is to suppress rebellion and prevent foreign invasion, and this is not the duty to suppress bandits. ”

"If I bring troops to pay the fees without permission, and I still make a big move in the city, I am afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction among the local garrison and the local lords. ”

Viscount Neil had long expected that he would shirk it, waved his hand and smiled: "Junior brother, you can relax, this matter can be solved." ”

"Now the supreme commander of the garrison of Kale County is the Governor's own uncle, if he knew that this was the Governor's intention, he would definitely not blame it, even if he was to blame, as long as the Governor sent a letter, it would be resolved. ”

"As for the local lords, they are not satisfied......"

Viscount Neil thought for a while and said, "You just say that this is what Governor Renard meant, if you have any opinions, you can ask the Governor to mention, you can take the credit, and the Governor of the Black Cauldron will carry it for you." ”

He took a sip of tea and continued: "Now His Majesty attaches great importance to the problem of demonic disasters and bandits in Kale County, and even does not hesitate to take the royal conquest himself. ”

After speaking, he suddenly straightened his face, and instructed without smiling: "Brother Kaiwen, you must not live up to the expectations of the Governor and His Majesty the King." ”

His tone of laughter and negotiation just now has changed to a tone of command.

After the temptation, there is coercion, and the carrot and stick are the best way to deal with things.

Earl Kevin didn't expect the other party's tone to change so quickly, and he was cold for a while, and then he said, "That's natural, it's just ......"

He dragged out a long voice, and then said helplessly: "Don't hide it from Senior Neil, I don't want to make a big contribution, but I have a hard time." ”

Then, he told the story of the current slack of armament of the Kale County garrison.

Earl Kevin smiled wryly: "That's the fact, now the combat effectiveness of the Kale County garrison is less than 20% of what it used to be, if it really goes out to suppress the bandits, I'm afraid that the bandits won't be able to get rid of them, but they will be suppressed by the bandits." ”

Viscount Neil snapped his fingers after hearing this, and said with a smile: "This matter was expected by the Governor, and I specially selected more than 2,000 elite horsemen for use before I came. ”
