Anyway, for this meal in the evening, Taylor's second son personally ordered the food, and the delicacies of the mountains and seas were really luxurious, and the way of the banquet and the guests to be invited were determined by Hao, which made Taylor's jaw drop!

First of all, the banquet was not in the form of the popular drinking party and dance, nor did it use the long table of ten meters at home, but on the large terrace of the castle where Taylor had breakfast every day, well, in order not to bother, the whole small square table would be used.

Secondly, the object of this banquet was the nobles and celebrities in the city of Tobizia? Not one of them was invited! The dignitaries and officials in the governor's palace were also not invited! The bigwigs of the military region were still not invited! In the end, they all came to the table to find out who they had invited, and they actually invited the captain of the security named Paula...... Actually, Hao's mind is very simple, I accidentally killed your brother-in-law, please have a meal to express my guilt!

"Come, come, come, when you're all here, sit down and go!" Hao greeted Taylor, Bora and Bobby, and glanced at it, that Hulda was still hunched behind him, Hao Er's didn't say a word and dragged his chair to Hulda, but he himself found another chair.

"This ...... What kind of master-servant relationship is this?" Taylor thought angrily, "It seems that this man named Hao is really not a mortal!"

"Everyone, the words of thanks are in this glass of wine, I'll toast you first!" Hao said as he filled up half a glass of wine in front of everyone, and then just cocked his neck and snorted.

"I only eat, I don't drink!" Bobbi protested, and indeed, he had said that he had a similar alcohol allergy when he had gossiped on the road and talked about drinking, so he never drank at all.

"Okay! Good amount of wine!" In fact, this is the first time to come to the Duke's castle, and it is also the first time to participate in the "dinner party of such a high standard", and she was still a little nervous and restrained before, but seeing Hao's rough mode of drinking, she was immediately aroused with great pride, and followed Hao to make the first drink.

"Uh......" Taylor said with a dry smile that only felt his throat dry, "I actually have a limited amount of alcohol, this ...... Can you drink this in a few sips?"

"It's okay! we'll wait for you!" Hao and Bora happily tore a suckling pig from the middle, and each took half of it, and said in unison.

In fact, many years later, Taylor couldn't help but curse every time he recalled this night that he called "crazy", "What a liar! Big liar! I'm embarrassed to say that he has a treat, and he doesn't have 1,000 crystals in his pocket, and he drinks the hundreds of crystals of good wine from labor and management as if he were drinking water!

"Too ...... Taile ...... Second son...... Oh, I'll give you a glass on behalf of the three of us poor ghosts. Hao's stomach strengthened by dragon blood couldn't bear it at this time, and he began to speak with a big tongue, and he didn't know the edge, and the typical wine strength came up, "Just look up to me so much for you, in the future, but with your words, go to the soup and go to the fire, oh, go to the knife mountain and go down to the oil pot, it is incumbent!"

"Oh?!" Taylor, who was also drunk and unadult-looking, replied softly, and then he suddenly shook his head a few times, as if he wanted to shake the alcohol out of his head, and then saw him squint his eyes and say in a solemn tone, "I want to make a deal with you...... Would you like to?"

"Delivery...... Yi?" Hao thought to himself, sure enough, the dinner came! He simply put on a drunken appearance, and replied with a big tongue and a smile, "Yes, how can I not want to, I won't tell you, I've actually been a top order all along...... Oh...... Merchants!hahahaha......"

"Oh?" Taylor knew that Hao was telling the truth, Hao had been following the old blow to the merchant before! He glanced at the drunk and unconscious Bolla, and Bobby, who was disgusted with the smell of alcohol and ran away from it, and thought to himself, does this kid mean that as long as there is enough profit, he is willing to do anything, and he dares to do anything, right?

Thinking of this, Taylor seemed to have made some kind of determination, and asked Hao: "Alas, I don't know what you think of the current nobles in the country?"

"It's all good. Hao broke open something that looked like a big crab, scooped up a bowl full of yellow paste with a spoon, and replied vaguely while eating.

"Don't you think they have too many private armies?" Taylor continued to enlighten Hao, "It is said that there is a viscount in the north, and there are eight thousand private troops under his command!"

"Hmm......" Hao motioned for Taylor to continue.

"Alas, according to the constitution of the kingdom, the nobles have their own fiefdoms, and naturally they must also form a private army to defend the fiefdoms, but in order to prevent the nobles from supporting their own troops, there is naturally an upper limit to the number, two thousand dukes, one thousand marquises, five hundred earls, one hundred viscounts, and fifty barons! The viscount I just talked about is just a viscount, eight thousand private troops, a whole 80 times more!" Speaking of this, Taylor angrily slammed the wine glass in his hand on the table.

"The division of the princes will inevitably lead to chaos in the world!" Hao thought about the "Spring and Autumn Warring States", "Three Kingdoms" and "Sixteen Kingdoms of the Eastern Jin Dynasty", and commented casually.

"Pig monkeys, you mean that those nobles who support their own troops and show off their power are pigs and monkeys, right? That's right, those stupid pigs with fat brains are sometimes as good as monkeys! If they continue like this, the world will indeed be in chaos!" Hao didn't know what he said casually, saying what many people in the entire Demacia Kingdom wanted to say but didn't dare to say, this was simply scolding the entire Demacia aristocracy, but fortunately, in front of him was Taylor, who didn't take the usual path, Taylor couldn't help but light up when he heard this, and his gaze towards Hao was a little more eager.

"Yes...... What does this have to do with our business? Could it be that you want me to buy weapons and armor?"

"......Huh," Taylor took a long breath and said worriedly, "The situation of my family is not a secret, my father is over 80 years old after all, and he has long stopped asking about the world, but my eldest brother's personality is too upright, he has never followed the trend to expand his own private army, not to mention, when the government issued a decree in Xiongdu last year requiring major families to reduce the private army, he actually set an example, and really cut his original 2,000 private army by 500." ”

"Your brother is a good duke!" Hao gave a heartfelt compliment, and then urged curiously, "Five hundred, and then?"

"No, then, if it is in peacetime, he is the first heir in line to the family, of course, it is up to him to cut or increase, but as you said, the world will be in chaos, how can we defend our family if we don't have enough strength in our hands?" I am now a local official of the kingdom, and according to the regulations, you are absolutely not allowed to have your own private arms, but fortunately, at this time, God sent you here, I can see that you need to be wise and wise, and you must be brave and brave, and all you lack is a platform!"

"You go to the east!" Taylor stared into Hao's eyes and continued word by word, "With the resources of my duke's family, plus your friend's status in the Demon Hunter Corps, you and I have joined forces, and we have been operating carefully for ten years, I don't believe that I can't put you in the position of commander, and when the time comes, Tobizia, my brother will be the duke in the west, and I will be the governor in the middle, and you will echo in the army in the east......"

"Oops!" At that moment, an exclamation came from a servant standing in the distance. "That'...... That guest fell!"

Naturally, it was Bobby, the confused yodeler was probably chasing the fireflies, and he jumped out of the castle terrace, you know, under the terrace was the rushing river!

The entire Duke's Castle, and even later alarmed the Demon Seeker Corps, the Public Security Bureau, and the City Defense Army, and the chickens and dogs jumped all night, and when it was dawn, everyone announced in frustration that His Excellency Bobby, the chief elder of the Demon Seeker Corps, had fallen into the water and disappeared, and his whereabouts were unknown......

In the spring of 574 in the Rowland calendar, the entire Valoran continent from south to north took off its white and gray bloated winter clothes and replaced them with green and smart spring clothes, and the corresponding people began to get busy, with more backs of farmers bending over in the fields, and more messengers galloping through the roads and bringing up the dust.

"Father, hasn't that damned messenger from Xiongdu arrived yet?" In the Legion Commander's study of the Black Sea Fortress, young Hofeli complained to his father, Simon, the commander of the Tenth Legion, who was currently guarding the fortress, as soon as he walked in.

Traditionally, the spring of each year is also the season of rotation and adjustment of the army, taking the Black Sea fortress in the easternmost province of Tobizia as an example, the fifth, tenth, and twelfth of the Central Army rotate in annual units, one is on duty at the fortress, one remains mobile, and the other is replenished and rested.

Last year, the fortress on duty was the 10th Corps, according to the custom, after the winter season, the military bosses of the Xiongduli military department will begin to issue various New Year's decrees, and those messengers will come with these military orders in the days of winter and spring, and then wait for a few days, dense flags and soldiers will appear on the horizon from the west, and when they enter the fortress, the soldiers of the 10th Corps can line up and return to the camp to rest, which also means accepting the reward or retiring from the army and returning to their hometown, no matter how bad they are, they can also take a half-month vacation to go to the city of Tobisia with a wine jug in their left hand and their right hand to pinch the N son of the J woman, and live this desirable life。

"Deputy Hoffelli, pay attention to your words, and how many times I have told you, there are only commanders and obedience in the army, and there is no such title as father!" Simon, whose hair was already more than half gray, snapped the pen he was writing in his hand in two, and the sonorous power of the voice did not at all sound like it should be made at his age.

"Yes, Legionnaire Commander!" Hofery saw his father frenzy, and immediately stood up straight, and after giving a standard military salute, he said in disappointment, "That...... That's fine...... I took people out on patrol......"

"I just wrote a letter to the family, your wedding with Penny will be postponed for another month, in fact, it is better to delay it, so that your mother is more prepared in Xiongdu. Simon rubbed his temples and waved his hand to signal that his lone son could go out.
