115. The return of Luis Mensa

Luis Mensa led ten Constructed Knights returned to the Imperial Capital three days ago, most of the 5,000 Constructed Knights were recruited from the Province of Palestina, and now at the beginning of the war, these Constructed Knights returned to Palestina Province in the magic airship of the airport town, without the permission of His Majesty Charles, Luis Mensa's army could not be stationed near the Imperial Capital, so Louis wanted to place them in private territory in the Province of Palestina, but after arriving in Palestina Province, these Constructed Knights will be given half a month's vacationVictory and vacation are the best way for these Constructed Knights to adjust after the war.

Of course, among the ten Constructed Knights of Louis Mensa, there are also a small number of Constructed Knights recruited from the Imperial Capital, and the war in Angela is over, for these Constructed Knights, there are only two ways in front of them, one is to stay in the Constructed Knights that Louis Mensa has just formed, and follow the Knights to the private territory of Louis Mensa in the province of Palestina and become a follower of Luis. The second is to disband on the spot, continue to stay in the imperial capital as a mercenary, and if there is a war, temporarily join a certain Constructed Knights to make a fortune and leave.

In the first two days of returning to the imperial capital, Louis almost lived in the airport town, dealing with all kinds of trivial matters and distributing the spoils captured in this war, etc., and also deciding whether each of the Constructed Knights would go or stay.

Noah and I met Louis Mensah on his third day back to the imperial capital, in the roof garden of the Emerald Bay Trading House.

A row of maids stood aside, adding a variety of delicacies to our plates. I have to say that Louis still knows how to enjoy this aspect very well, many of the ingredients are cut from some low-level magical beasts, and after careful cooking, I can still feel the lingering magic elements from the texture of the meat.

As Louis ate, he told us about his experience on the battlefield:

β€œ...... On the third day of our journey to Angelado, we were attacked by a team of Nakma scouts on our way to Onjiva, the Nakma were extremely talented, with their strong four-legged and thick tails, which allowed them to climb over the steep mountains with ease, and our constructed knights could repel them, but they could not pursue them in the difficult terrain, so these Nakma trailed behind our legion to tactically harass us. ”

He placed a lobster shell next to a plate filled with soft white bread representing the Nakma and the plate representing the Knights of Constructed Arms under his command.

Perhaps because he had drunk a little wine, his eyes looked bright.

"It wasn't until the stronghold of Daon Ridge that this was reversed in the Legion. He cut a piece of meat from the 'roasted lizard' and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it vigorously and said.

Noah asked, "Luis, why don't you shoot these Nakma with your bed crossbow?"

Louis took a sip of golden cider, stared at Noah and said, "Of course I also thought that my knights also set some traps along the way, using bed crossbows to ambush, but those Nakma scouts are very smart, when they lose two of them, they are no longer fooled, they like to hide in the shadows, and these Nakma are not brainless war maniacs, they are ruthless and sharp, and their shots are often fatal blows." ”

Louis gestured with a knife.

He glanced at the handmaidens around him again, as if he didn't want his tall image to be any defect in their hearts, and then said: "His Highness Charles has assigned us the task of guarding the stronghold of Wengzhiwa and ensuring the safety of the second and third mining areas, so that part of the army of the Captain of the Aix Army can be drawn out and sent to the front. ”

Noah asked with envy on his face, "Luis, what does it feel like to go to war?"

Louis stared at Noah a little strangely and asked him, "Didn't you have any experience with the war on the Wasqui plane, why did you ask me how I felt on the battlefield?"

"How can that be the same!, you lead a group of Constructed Knights to fight on the Plane Battlefield, while Giga and I have only organized a group of bandits on the Vasqui Sea. Noah blinked and said enviously to Louis, "I also want to know how the Nakma differ from the Faceless. ”

The maid filled Louis's glass with wine.

Louis made a helpless gesture with his glass, and then said to Noah, "I'm sorry I don't know much about the Faceless, but as for the Nagrama, it will make me feel like I'm in extreme danger all the time, and for a long time, even when I slept, I was worried that the Nakma would come out of the shadows and cut off my head with an axe." ”

"Aren't you the Royal Gysian Knight, how can you be afraid of those Nagramans?" Noah frowned, a look of disbelief on his face.

"Who says the Royal Gripen Knight can't be fearful?" Louis asked rhetorically to Noah.

He touched his forehead, then raised his head and said to Noah: "When I was stationed in the stronghold of Wengzhiwa just now, there were soldiers assassinated by the Nakma almost every day, and the first thing I had to do when I woke up every day was to check the number of casualties of the army last night, and try to make up for the loopholes in the placement of the outposts. ”

At this time, I interjected: "Then you have been stationed in the Weng Zhiwa stronghold?"

Louis waved his hand and said, " How is it possible, when we gradually get used to the rhythm of the battle on the multi-faceted battlefield of Angela, I began to try to contact the fighters of the Nakma Forward Battalion, you must know that these Nakma warriors who can penetrate the forward defense line and infiltrate the field around the No. 2 and No. 3 mines are all elite combat squads, and they are very good at mountain warfare and small-scale field encounters, in one-on-one battles, my new army of knights in uniform can't defeat the Nakma warriors, even if it's two or one, it sometimes depends on luck, so it was very dangerous to clear the Nakma warriors lurking around the mining area at the beginning。 ”

When Noah heard Louis say this, he also said with trepidation: "No wonder Prince Charles led the elite Constructed Knights of the Royal Constructed Knights, plus the Strange Rock City Legion led by the Strange Rock City Legion of Ex, and the Constructed Knights under the Mo Family of the Mo Legion, the powerful combination of the three parties has not been able to take advantage of Angelado." ”

Hearing Noah say this, Louis said with deep understanding: "If it weren't for the meteor rain of Captain Aix, which burned the last confidence of the Nakma people, I'm afraid I would have to stay in Angela for many faces this winter." ”

It was supposed to be a happy celebration of Louis's victorious return, but the atmosphere suddenly became a little heavy, perhaps because the battle between Angela and many sides was too hard, which made Louis feel a strong sense of frustration, so I thought I should liven up the atmosphere here, so I stood with a glass of golden cider, and said to Noah and Louis with a glass of wine:

"I wish Luis a victorious victory and a triumphant return at Angela!"

Noah also raised his glass with me and said:

"I wish us a reunion in the Imperial Capital!"

Louis stood up with us, raised his glass and said:

"I wish the Grimm Empire victory in the plane war!"

"Cheers ......"

Everyone drank all the wine in the glasses together.

The maids brought new dishes and put them on our plates, and Louis put down the wine glasses in his hand, looked at Noah and me with emotion, and said to us in a very sincere tone: "Speaking of which, I would like to thank Giga and Noah this time...... With the strong support of the two of you, if we didn't have the single-attribute giant crossbow arrows, we wouldn't be able to easily defend the stronghold of Wengzhiwa, and thank you Noah for your funding, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to piece together ten Constructed Knights at once. ”

Noah sat down across from Louis, laughed with great joy and said:

"Haha, Luis, do you think that if you say something that touches me, you won't have to pay back the money, and when I go to Galapagos City, I will need your support too!"

Hearing Noah say this, Louis nodded in relief, indicating that he would do his best when the time came.

Then Louis asked me, "What about Giga, what are your plans for me to support you too?"

I sat quietly at the table and said to Louis, "I heard that the Babington family will give a part of the benefits for Angela many noodles this time. ”

Louis sat up straight and said to the two of us: "Babington not only controls the property of the Rune Board of the Grimm Empire, but at the same time, the five major Mithril mines continue to import a large number of Mithril ingots to the Grimm Empire, which in the eyes of the noble lords, belong to the two pieces of fat belonging to the Babington family. But Prince Charlie, Captain Eric, and Mo Xiang entered the war in order to relieve Angela's many wars and disputes, and Billy of course had to take out a part of the industry to satisfy the appetite of the three giants. But we're not, we're supporting Angela many people mainly so that Charlie can get out of there early......"

He looked at me and said, "Tomorrow we will discuss the distribution of benefits after the victory in the war on Angela's many fronts over there in the council chamber." Although I was also invited to participate, I can only be regarded as Prince Charlie's family, and in fact, there will not be much benefit that can be shared, how do you think of asking this? The five Mithril mines are the foundation of the Babington family, I think this part of Billy Babington wants to keep as much as possible anyway, as for the rune board industrial system in San Carlos City, Billy can't let go easily, what do you want me to help you get something?"

Louis's eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something, and he said to me, "I know that Billy Babington is going to enter the primary rune board market, is this the case? I can try to get him to quit unconditionally." ”

I shook my head and said to him, "No, if you don't plan to open up a new territory on the Angela Face, I want your part of the development rights on the Angela Face. ”

I said it very bluntly, I don't think Luis will go to Angela to do any development.

Sure enough, Louis stared at me in surprise, and then exchanged a look with Noah before saying: "If you want a territory, you can go to the Vaskie plane, those ownerless islands can be whatever you like, now we have a good relationship with the Cana Sea Clan of the Vaskie plane, so you don't have to worry about the safety of the island, if necessary, I can transfer two large galleons from the Ignaz military port to you." ”

Noah doesn't know how many times I've nagged in my ear about territory.

"I just want to disgust Billy Babington. I said to Louis.

"Well, there is almost nothing in that mountain range except for the veins, and you have to guard against the resurgence of the Nakma people, don't talk about me, even Prince Charles has no intention of establishing a territory in Angelado......," Louis babbled to me about the bad things about Angelado, but then he saw me looking at him with a determined gaze, and asked me with a straight face, "You have decided?"

I nodded.

Louis stared at me earnestly for a few seconds, and when he saw that my gaze was still firm, he did not say anything more to persuade me.

He first said to me earnestly: "Okay, this Angela multi-faceted development right is a gimmick, if you want it, I'll give it to you, but please remember my advice and don't take risks to do things that you are not sure of." ”

Louis asked me again, "Then tomorrow you are going to go with me to the Imperial Capital Council Chamber?"

I nodded again and said with a smile, "Of course I have to go, otherwise how would Billy Babington know that the person who can freely develop his territory in Angela is actually me!"

There was a commotion from downstairs at the Emerald Bay Trading House, and the guards ran up to report to Louis, and the loot brought back from the airport town began to be moved into the warehouse one after another, Louis stood up and walked to the fence on the roof, looked down, and then nodded.

"Would you like to come with me to the warehouse and see what I've gained?" Louis asked Noah and me, looking very happy with his loot, and even showing off some of it.

Noah shook his head repeatedly, and he said to Louis disdainfully, "Forget it, the loot you have harvested is nothing more than the Black Magic Crystal and the Black Iron Armor of the Nakma people, and we are not interested." ”

Actually, I still have some needs for some Nagraman armor on the upper body, but I didn't say it to Luis. Louis didn't say exactly how much loot he had gotten, and there should have been some good stuff from the fact that the men had taken a lot of supplies down from the wagons in a row.

"You'll see what you want, don't regret it!" Louis said to Noah with a smile.
