Time passes, the year has come, Renard is twenty-four years old, sitting on thousands of miles of territory, with more than 10,000 soldiers under his command, he can really be called a young man.

However, at this moment, this young and promising guy is like a child who has done something wrong, and he is counted by the ladies of the lord's mansion and cannot find the north.

The reason is simple, Gina is pregnant.

Now the news is only broadcast on a small scale, lest this young and promising guy be deducted from a lustful hat again.

Jimmy was a little overwhelmed when he heard the news, and he unknowingly became the brother-in-law of His Excellency the Registrar, and he couldn't laugh or cry.

He was already a young man of seventeen, not the ignorant child he had been, and knew that if the matter was not handled well, he would be in great trouble, so he hurried to Baron Hammidon for help.

If anyone could speak in front of Count Heidi, there was really no one else but the cheap father-in-law of Hamilton.

After Baron Hammidon heard the news, he was simply a head and two big, what is this Nima called.

When the baron came to the Earl's Court with a dead face, the criticism meeting had come to an end.

After Lei Ye swore that the future heir of the territory would be Andrew, Heidi gradually dissipated her anger, or it was more appropriate to accept her fate.

The nobles are all this urine, what else can she do.

Thousands of precautions, it is difficult to prevent thieves, and you have to pay attention to it in the future.

Since then, the standard of hiring maids in the Earl's Court has dropped rapidly, and the newly recruited servants are all big and round-waisted, and those under the age of forty are not old, and their appearance is no more than eight points, of course, it is a hundred points.

After the meeting, Lei Ye took refuge in Fort Dunken under the pretext of visiting Duke Edmund.

The demons of the Barrens have been almost wiped out, and the occasional appearance of a few will not cause much damage.

Because it was winter, there were no people in the fields, and the whole barren land seemed extremely quiet.

Renard rode his griffon and arrived at Fort Duncan in less than two hours.

When Duke Edmund heard the news, he came out to greet him: "Renard, you are here at the right time, I happen to be holding a banquet. ”

Every time Renard sees this duke, he always has the feeling that this is a nobleman, and every movement and demeanor of the other party is very well controlled, which makes people feel both cordial and majestic.

He gave each other an intimate hug: "I can't say I want to disturb you for two days." ”

Duke Edmund was a little surprised when he heard this, but looking at the embarrassed expression on Lei Ye's face, he didn't ask much.

The two walked into the castle side by side, and at this time a banquet was being held in the hall, and the nobles were talking in groups.

When they saw the two of them come in, they all looked at them.

There was no need to introduce at all, the nobles put down the wine glasses and food in their hands one after another, and stepped forward to greet Lei Ye warmly.

Now Renard's prestige in Southern Wilderness County is very high, far surpassing that of Earl Shelley and Earl Ian, as if there is a trend of changing from a three-legged stand to a dominant family.

Duke Edmund knew that Lei Ye was not sociable, so he stopped him very intimately: "It's all my own family, you don't have to be so polite, let alone restrained." ”

The nobles dispersed with interest, and went on to talk about their own things.

The two sat on the sofa, sipping mellow red wine, and Duke Edmund suddenly asked, "Renard, I heard that you have taken in many refugees again?"

Renard didn't expect the other party to ask this, thought about it, and joked: "What, do you want to share some for me?"

Duke Edmund smiled awkwardly when he heard this, waved his hand and refused: "Forget it, I don't have much food left here." ”

Lei Ye pouted secretly, since the beginning of the purge movement, the other party has recovered most of the lost land, harvested this year's crops, and there is not much pressure on food, and he is purely afraid of trouble when he talks.

Before the Plague, the sudden influx of people and labor in the territory was a jealous act, but now the lords are afraid to avoid it.

With the sudden outbreak of the demonic plague, the already scarce grain reserves, coupled with the continuous attacks and destruction of demons, the land suitable for cultivation and the farmers who dare to cultivate have been drastically reduced.

The amount of food required to feed 30,000 people was simply astronomical, and it was not at all something that ordinary lords could bear, and even Duke Edmund did not dare to cause trouble.

Lei Ye is happy to see it, no one strives for better, and he can develop and grow silently, until one day it brings them a big surprise or fright.

Perhaps a little unwilling, Duke Edmund politely said: "Will there be any difficulties for you to take in 30,000 refugees, in terms of manpower or funds, I can help just ask." ”

Renard thought about it, and really had something to trouble the other party: "There is indeed something I want to ask you." ”

When Duke Edmund heard this, his heart suddenly tightened, and he immediately smiled and said, "If you need help, just say it, if you can, I'll try to help." ”

Renard pursed his lips secretly when he heard this, but his mouth was very grateful: "Then thank you in advance, you should know that I have placed all the refugees in the territory of Rafal, which is close to the control area of the Anti-Demon Alliance. ”

He pondered his rhetoric and said in as tactful tone as possible: "Compared with the territory of our two families, the Anti-Demon Alliance is a hard-hit area, with frequent demonic appearances, and I have just passed a great battle with demons, and the army has suffered heavy losses. ”

Duke Edmund immediately understood what Lei Ye wanted to express, patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, the security problem in the Rafal area will be handled by me, just to pull the newly recruited cubs to practice." ”

Renard showed a grateful expression: "You don't have to bother with military spending, I will order someone to handle it properly." ”

Duke Edmund showed a teachable expression, did not refuse, and directly agreed.

After this negotiation, the relationship between the two has become much closer, and if it was said that it was eyebrow to eyebrow in the past, then now there is a faint tendency to establish a strategic alliance.

Even the separate lord class wants to have friends who share weal and pain, but it is easy to get friends who drink and meat, but it is difficult to get real friends.

After several years of running-in, the two territories have a tendency to become allies, and they are still some distance away from becoming friends.

The next step is to have fun with the guests.

Renard stayed at Fort Duncan for two days and left in a hurry until news came from Rafal that he was in trouble.

Lei Ye waved his hand: "Lord Duke, you don't have to send it, I will send the batch of grain seeds you want within two days." ”

Duke Edmund did not refuse, and gladly accepted his gift.

Riding on the back of the griffin, Renard was secretly proud, this time it was not in vain, and the alliance between the two families was finally determined, and it was more stable than that bullshit anti-demon alliance.

Thinking of Earl Shelley's Anti-Demon Alliance, Lei Ye couldn't help frowning.

From the mouth of the intelligence organization that has just been established, it seems that the anti-demon alliance is showing signs of splitting, and I don't know if it is a good thing or a bad thing.
