Chapter 352: The Gifted Attributes of the Nobles
The smooth trial production of the new weapons for the two infantry made Charles feel quite good, and he took Linar and Olive back to Sunset Castle happily, planning to discuss the new infantry tactics with Linaer, because the two girls have been exposed to the military knowledge of this world for a long time, especially the cousin of the spy leader Linar has a high military literacy, and in front of them, he is a traverser because his thinking is too advanced, and there is a more or less disconnect with the reality.
But as soon as Charles entered, Roy, the butler, brought a new piece of news that ruined Charles's good mood.
"The envoys of the Duchy of Luxon are on their way to Nancy? What's the matter with the patrol posts on our border? Who allowed them to let those Lucernes into Lorraine? Didn't I issue regulations for the entry of foreigners?"
"Sir, our border patrol posts in Lorraine only have checkpoints near the main roads, and many other places can only rely on patrols, so they can't completely stop those outsiders who sneak across the border from the mountains. ”
Seeing that Charles was a little unhappy, Roy explained in detail: "Those Lucernes should have entered Lorraine from the mountains in the northwest, and they were discovered by the local sheriff when they walked to the town of Merce, and the town of Merce did not have the military ability to stop the Lucernes, so they could only send out the Swift Eagle to send a message to us........"
"From the mountains of the West, is there any news from the sheriff of Merth?" said Charles, wondering if the matter of Castle Chlorsen had been discovered.
It's too fast, what Charles needs most now is time, as long as he is given five or six months, the 10,000 soldiers of the Lorraine Legion will form a preliminary combat effectiveness, and his waist will be much tougher.
"The sheriff of the town of Mossen has verified the identity of the Lucernes in accordance with the Regulations on the Administration of the Entry of Aliens that we have just issued, and found that among these Lucernes is a field count, and he claims to be an envoy of the Grand Duke of Lucerne, and according to the custom on the mainland, diplomatic envoys have immunity from passage between countries, and even ordinary nobles are rarely subject to restrictions on movement, and it is difficult for the sheriff of Merstown to restrict them from continuing to come to Nancy City......."
Charles frowned and asked, "Roy, you mean to say that the Regulations on the Entry of Aliens I issued will only restrict ordinary merchants and farmers, and will not work on the nobles at all, right?"
"Lord, it is difficult for commoners to hold their own position in the face of nobles, nobles have all kinds of privileges accumulated by their ancestors, unless both sides are also nobles, they will respect each other, which is why most of the generals on the border have noble status, only nobles can keep nobles out of the country. ”
Charles felt a deep sense of helplessness, and in a world of class repression, many of the management methods he was accustomed to could not be implemented smoothly.
For various purposes such as commerce, taxation, public security, and counter-espionage in the Lorraine region, the Charles wrote and issued this "Regulations on the Administration of the Entry of Foreign Persons", hoping to keep all undesirable people out of the border, just like the immigration department of the Great Celestial Empire in the previous life.
But now Roy told Charles that not only would the nobles on the mainland arrogantly despise this so-called "management regulations", but even his own people felt inferior when facing foreign nobles, and the "management methods" in their hands did not work on the nobles.
"There is still a long way to go!"
Charles finally understood that he was thinking simply, before the entire civilian class did not change the concept of fear of the aristocracy, the approach of the magistrate of Merce Town was already quite conscientious, you yourself have no confidence, how to manage others?
"Roy, give the sheriff of Mercetown a great reward, and spread the word of his deeds throughout Lorraine, and praise him for not being afraid of the identity of the other party, and for making complete inquiries and records of the identity and purpose of the other party's entry, and spreading this example to all border posts and local sheriffs......."
As long as the deep iron pestle is sharpened into a needle, Charles decided to slowly test the management method in his heart, and find out the most suitable for the world and the most beneficial way of government reform. 、
..........
..........
Earl McKinsey Greenfaith slowly reined in the reins of the horse, and the maroon north seahorse under his crotch snorted and stopped running, and the continuous running for a day did not make the horse tired, but made it run out of character, completely stimulating the most primitive natural talent in its body.
"Baron Willis, can you be sure that the final direction of the clue is the city ahead?"
McKinsey raised his horsewhip and pointed at Nancy City, which was outlined on the distant horizon, and asked a knight behind him.
"Lord Earl, I can only be sure that we are in the right direction, but whether the clue will eventually extend to Nancy City will not be determined until my close companion returns. ”
"I really envy you hunters, no danger or clue can escape your eyes, if it weren't for you this time, I really didn't know that the murderers who burned Fort Greensen were Lorraine, they are really despicable, my heart is about to break when I think of my brave brother who ended up with a body that can't be found......."
"Well, it's despicable!"
Baron Carmon's legs moved, and the war horse under his crotch stepped back playfully, and Baron Carmon looked at Earl McKinsey's back, revealing a look of contempt.
Didn't you always resent your father for giving the title of marquis to your brother when you first met me a few days ago? Now that your own brother is dead, don't you just inherit his marquisate title?
And your heart is broken, is it true that a hunter's sense is only used to hunt animals? I saw you laugh at least three times on the way.
Besides, Castle Greensen burned to the ground, and Dietre Greenface was in a hurry to announce your death before the corpse was found?
A group of cavalry chased from a distance, and their horses were already baring their teeth and foaming at the mouth and nose, and their four legs were swaying from side to side as if they were about to fall down at any moment.
A man who looked like a knight captain came to the side of Earl McKinsey, first glared fiercely at the hunter Baron Carmon who led the way, and then said to Count McKinsey very distressedly: "Lord Earl, we must take a break immediately, many knights have changed their last spare horses, and if they die, Lucerne's knights will have to walk to Nancy City." ”
"Teague, I know you've had a hard time along the way, but it's worth it, we finally got here before the clues dissipated, and I'm sure we'll be able to find out my brother's killer soon......."
"I have to remind you, Your Excellency, that according to the information we found last night, the new Marquis of Lorraine is not a nobleman who likes to play by the rules, and he has only been in the marquis for a few months, and he has assembled an army of tens of thousands of people, so our pursuit this time is too reckless and dangerous. ”
Cavaliers captain Teague was very worried, and since the moment he entered Lorraine's territory, he had a sense of foreboding in his heart.
Dietre Filingus, the lord of Greensenburg, is a middle-level transcendent warrior, who has created a brilliant record in the battle against the Night Cultists, and his own strength can be ranked in the top five in the entire Duchy of Lucerne, but now he has disappeared for no apparent reason, you are only a seventh-rank count who came to find the Marquis of Lorraine, is it really a fool to be that marquis?
"Teague, how much prestige do you think a marquis who has earned a knighthood by selling his rights to his realm? The Lorraine Legion is not his Charles Chevalier, but the army of Prince Boyle Augustine and Queen Florens, who is just a puppet. ”
"We will never let our neighbor come to our house and bully our family at will because of his strength, we must let his crimes be made public, and all the nobles on the continent can see what kind of outliers in this aristocratic circle are. ”
Earl McKinsey's round face was full of righteous expressions, like a grieving and angry brother who avenged his brother, and like a righteous warrior who defended the privileges of the aristocratic class.
Teague retreated with a dark face, as the captain of the knights of Earl McKinsey, he could only do what his lord wanted, even though he knew it was very dangerous.
When Teague retreated, McKinsey quietly approached the hunter Carmon, "Baron Carmon, are you sure that the Prime Minister will not cause a big war?"
"No, Lord Earl, Florence will not fight another all-out war now, King Rotherf is not the dumbfounded marquis, and the Augustinian family can no longer and dare not risk defeat to challenge our tripartite alliance. ”
"Very well, I hope that you Englos will keep your promise, and if the Flens really go mad, you must send an elite army of no less than fifty thousand men into Lucerne to help us win this war. ”
"Don't worry, we will!"
Baron Carmon was very sure of Earl McKinsey's assurance, but he thought in his heart: "We can't find a reason to garrison here! ”
"Lord Earl, my companion is back, and I think soon we will know if the murderer has entered Nancy City. ”
In the distance, a white shadow quickly ran towards this direction, and Baron Carmon, a transcendent hunter with excellent eyesight, immediately saw that it was his pet.
But as the white shadow got closer, Baron Carmon, the transcendent hunter, sensed something was wrong.
He jerked his whip and urged the horse under his crotch to meet him.
"Whoa"
A snow-white fox fled in panic across the wilderness, and when it saw its master approaching, it let out a miserable chirp.
From a distance, Camon could see that his mutated spiritual power pet was injured, and one of his front legs was completely lame, and he could only use three legs to escape.
"Shebelle...... What's going on?"
Baron Carmon has established a spiritual connection with his pet fox, and knows the strength and temperament of his companion very thoroughly, intelligent and cunning, and will slip backwards when the wind is not right, and will never take the slightest risk.
But how did such a cowardly pet get hurt?
Baron Carmon wondered as he urged his horse to gallop, and suddenly an agile figure appeared in his sight, letting him know how his pet had been injured.
The little tiger cat didn't know when he had taken advantage of the undulating terrain to stealthily go around in front of the snow-white fox, jumped up at the most opportune time, and successfully threw "Snow Belle", which was twice its size, to the ground.
"Whew!"
Three cute and domineering "dragon roars" sounded, and the little tiger cat boots opened their big mouths and bit the neck of the snow-white fox in one bite, and the four tiger teeth were deeply embedded in Xue Belle's neck.
"Whoa..... Click"
The snow-white fox let out a series of changeable calls, which had previously been a camouflage ability, but now sounded like a plea for mercy.
"Bastard, look for death!"
Every psychic pet is very precious to the hunter, and the pain and pleas for mercy of the snow-white fox irritate Baron Carmon's emotions, and he takes off his longbow and shoots arrows, completely forgetting his original intention of being cautious.
"Whoosh!"
The feather arrow came out of the string and slashed through the sky extremely quickly towards the little tiger cat's boots, and the straight and accurate arrow path showed his strength as a spirit mark hunter.
Only hunters who can accurately perceive the traces of spiritual power will use the fluctuating trajectory of spiritual power to find this kind of arrow path that can exert the maximum range and power.
Baron Carmon was very confident that he would hit the agile cat, but just as the feather arrow was in the final stage of flight, the little tiger cat suddenly came and lifted the snow-white fox's entire body into the air, just blocking the path of the feather arrow.
"Poof!"
"Woo woo woo...... Woohoo oh"
The snow-white fox "Snow Belle" was pierced by the feather arrow, and kept kicking her legs on the ground, and her miserable wail did not know whether she was complaining about Baron Carmon's desperation, or crying about her own life.
"Bastard, you're looking for ...... death"
Seeing that his pet was accidentally injured by himself, Baron Carmon's heart was in sharp pain, and his eyes were broken, and he was about to shoot the little tiger cat to death with one bow and three arrows.
Baron Carmon's eyes suddenly narrowed unconsciously, as if his eyes were shining with the sun, and the sharp pain in his heart suddenly turned into intense fear.
"Poof!"
Baron Carmon clearly felt the war horse under his crotch tremble, and then fell to the ground with a bang, and was silent in an instant.
"Moon Shadow Bow ......."
Baron Camon is also an extraordinary hunter, and he came prepared, Baron Camon knew that the Shevalier family's extraordinary weapon with a strong sound and light effect, and the story of Charles shooting the giant wolf at 800 meters in Sbaya has begun to spread on the mainland, which also made Camondo have the idea of wanting to see the Bow of the Moon Shadow, but what he didn't expect was that when the Bow of the Moon Shadow really appeared, he had no power to resist.
An unusually tall black horse galloped from a distance, and four large hooves stepped on the field and smashed a heavy hoof sound of "dong dong", showing the heavy weight of the horse and the rider on the horse.
Dressed in a flamboyant ceremonial armor and carrying a blood-red cloak two or three meters long behind his back, Charles appeared in a common style of aristocrats.
"Whose pet did it kill me just now?"
"Who shot an arrow at my pet just now?"
"Is that you? Hunter?"
Charles took the lead and completely lit up the "unreasonable" talent attribute of the nobles.
