Othello seemed to see through Mullen's thoughts, and said to Mullen: "Does Your Highness think it's a pity that these fertile fields are so barren?" ”

"Yes, I don't think the land here is barren, and if you look at the growth of these weeds, you can see how fertile the soil here is. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Othello said, "It's all caused by the robbers of the Plains of Lot. These robbers did not produce, but lived by plundering all day long, and there was not enough food for them in the plains of Lot, so they went south every year to plunder during the harvest season. In the past, it was also a densely populated place, but it was repeatedly plundered by robbers from the Lott Plains, and those who had a way left this place, and this place became deserted. ”

Othello, who was riding on the horse, straightened his body and continued: "Your Highness's trip can be described as difficult, now there are troops to escort Your Highness, and no robber dares to fight His Highness's idea, but these troops will go back after escorting His Highness, and His Highness's situation will be difficult at that time." According to my investigation, the successive county guards of Roland County were attacked by thieves outside Lotte in less than a month after ruling Roland County, so Roland County has become a place to talk about tiger changes, I don't know if His Royal Highness has any plans? ”

Mullen said: "I'm still confused about the situation of the Lotte Plains, and I don't know the basic situation of the Lotte Plains, so I really don't know if His Excellency Othello has any suggestions?" ”

Othello, who did not answer the question, suddenly said to Mullen: "Your Highness, do you know why I know why I know that you will continue to accept the task of protecting you after being sealed in the Roland Plains? ”

It is said that the amorous Othello used his handsome appearance and humorous language to seduce those aristocratic ladies, and was finally blocked in his daughter's bed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Marquis Lawrence Phillips.

Although Lawrence did not turn Othello into a eunuch on the spot under the pleading of the daughter of the Marquis of Lawrence Phillips, Othello did not dare to stay in the royal capital anymore, so he agreed to Drake's employment and became Mullen's bodyguard.

Looking at Mullen's meaningful gaze, Othello knew that Mullen wanted to be crooked, and without waiting for Mullen to speak, he said: "I knew from the beginning that you must have been sealed to the Lotte Plain, but I didn't think that our King Majesty would be even more shameless and even give you the entire Rowland Plain. ”

Looking at Mullen's disbelieving expression, Othello said slightly angrily: "Your Highness, don't disbelieve it, you listen to me give you an analysis." Your old man forced King Duran to divide your fiefdom, and King Duran must have a grudge. King Duran was originally a man with a small belly, as can be seen from his forced rebellion against the Archduke of Finland. The Grand Duke of Finland only confronted King Duran a few times in the court, and King Duran killed this veteran of the three dynasties on the charge of rebellion, which can be seen in his viciousness and narrow-mindedness. Your grandfather has repeatedly asked the court to give you your fief as soon as possible, which has angered King Duran, and he is bound to take revenge on your family, and the only way to justifiably retaliate against your family is to seal you to the Lotte Plain. ”

Still unconvinced, Maren asked, "Since you know that I will be sealed to the Lott Plains, then why do you still accept my family's offer." ”

Othello asked Mullen rhetorically, "You should know something about my past." ”

Mullen said, "Hear a little. ”

Othello said: "It was through that incident that I really discovered how wonderful the right is, it can decide your future, and even your life and death." I need power, and you are my chance, and my original intention was to make you my puppet, and I will rule the entire plain in your place. ”

Maren glanced at his mouth and said, "Your breath is too big, you are so confident that you can suppress the countless robbers on the Lotus Plains, you are so confident that you can kill others before they kill you?" ”

Othello said, "I can't, but I can try." If I fail and am killed, it means that I do not have the right to live; If I succeed by luck, I will be the true king of the land. ”

Mullen said, "You are really ambitious. ”

Othello said: "This is the way this world is, either you eat others, or others eat you. ”

Mullen asked, "Do you still want me to be your puppet now?" ”

Othello shook his head and said, "Since you are not only not a fool as often said, but a swordsman who can become a sword master, now that you seem to have become a druid again, you will have a bright future with you." I will assist you to be the one at the top of the power, and my power will take over you. ”

"You're such a fickle gambler," Mullen said. ”

Othello said: "The difference between humans and animals is thinking, and I just change my approach according to the actual situation." ”

Mullen said: "Since you have calculated that I will be sealed to the Lotte Plain, then you should have some understanding of the situation on the Lotte Plain." ”

Othello said: "In the few days you have been waiting for the reward, I have searched through the information about the Lott Plain, and also asked some merchants who traveled between the royal capital and the Lott Plain, and I have a general understanding of the situation in the Lott Plain. The largest city in the Lott Plains today is not Lott City, but Chesterton City, located east of Lott City. Carlyle Chesterton, the lord of Chesterton, was the largest bandit leader on the Lott Plains, with about 10,000 well-armed cavalry and 20,000 foot soldiers at his command. Coupled with the reliance on his big and small city lords, town lords, and grass kings on various hills, he could dispatch up to seventy or eighty thousand troops at one time. The second largest city in Rowland was Las Rice, southeast of Lot, where the lord Philip Las Rice had 5,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry, as well as about 40,000 or 50,000 other troops in the vicinity. The third largest city is Lot, but the most powerful person is not the Duke of your kingdom, but Bob Weir, the tax collector of Lot. Bob Weir was the kingdom's appointed tax collector of Rowland, with 5,000 cavalry and 15,000 infantry, and 40,000 or 50,000 troops attached to Lot. If you want to truly rule Rowland, these three people are your worst enemies."

Maren nodded knowingly and asked, "After entering Roland County, what do you think I should do with these three land snakes?" ”

Othello asked, "What does Your Highness think should be done with them?" ”

Knowing that Othello was testing whether he had the potential to assist, Mullen replied: "I'm still weak and I'm sure they won't take me seriously." After all, I am the new Grand Duke of the kingdom, and unlike the previous county guards, I must think about the kingdom's reaction before they deal with me and deal with me. As long as I'm in Lot, but if I ask them about it, they won't treat me the same way they did with the previous county guards. After so many years of getting along, there must have been deep contradictions between these landlords, and they were only able to unite when the king interfered with their rule. What I have to do now is to deepen the contradictions between them and make them kill each other, and I only need to slowly develop my strength, and I will definitely pacify these landlords. ”

Othello said: "Your Highness's idea is good, but it is difficult to implement. ”

Mullen said: "As the so-called wealth is in danger, since God has given me this opportunity, I will definitely seize it." ”

Othello said: "Since Your Highness has this ambition, I will definitely assist Your Highness in creating a new Lott Plain." ”

Neither of them spoke anymore, silently looking ahead, their eyes full of tenacity.

Two days later, Mullen finally set foot on the land of the Lott Plains.

There is an essential difference between the land of the Lott Plains and the land of Bohemia, the land of Bohemia is fertile black soil, and the land of Lott Plains is black with a little red, like rust scattered on the ground, more like blood spilled on this land.

After entering Rowland, the population became significantly larger, and although it could not be compared with the southern part of Bohemia, it was still much denser than the northernmost part of Bohemia.

Othello saw Mullen's confusion and said to Mullen: "The population of the Lotte Plain has not been large due to the land, so the leaders of various forces have stipulated that the civilians should not be affected in the process of snatching the chassis, and as long as the civilians pay taxes on time, their living environment must be guaranteed, so although the Lott Plain is still barren and the taxes are still heavy, the population has not changed much. Bohemia County, which is adjacent to the Lott Plains, was not so lucky, and the bandits of the Lott Plains began to invade Bohemia sporadically every harvest season, plundering the grain of Bohemia and making the northern part of Bohemia desolate. ”

After listening to Othello's explanation, Mullen was a little thundered, it turns out that these bandits also understand the truth of sustainable development!

After three more days of walking, Mullen finally came to the outside of Lot, and the defenders in Lott had already been informed by the scouts scattered around Lot, and knew that a group of men and horses were approaching Lot, and the gates of Lott City had long been closed, and the defenders were watching the army under the city in a tight manner.

Captain Reid walked to the front of the team and said to the defenders at the city gate: "Listen to the defenders of the city, I am the captain of the royal city guard, and I am ordered by His Majesty the King to escort His Royal Highness the Grand Duke of Roland to take office, and you should quickly open the door to welcome His Royal Highness the Grand Duke of Roland." ”

Bob Weir, the tax collector of Lot, had been informed of the arrival of the army as the army approached Lot, and was now watching the army below with the Royalty Praetorian Guard emblem below.

After hearing Reed's shout, Bob Weir stretched out his head to Reed under the city and said, "I am Bob Weir, the tax collector of Rolandshire, in order to prevent thieves from pretending to be His Majesty's messenger, I ask General Reed to shoot His Majesty's appointment letter on the city wall, so that the lower officials can identify the authenticity." ”

Reed said, "No problem, it's as it should be. ”

After saying that, he asked someone to shoot Duran's past appointment letter and Malen's Grand Duke token on the city wall with magic arrows, Bob Weir took the appointment letter and token picked up by the soldiers, examined them carefully, and said to the soldiers at the city gate: "Open the door quickly." ”

Then he walked quickly down the wall.

Once the gates were fully opened, Bob Weir went out to greet Mullen's convoy.

Bob Weir walked up to Mullen's carriage and bowed to Mullen in the carriage, "Bob Will, the most faithful tax collector in Rowland, has seen His Royal Highness the Grand Duke of Rowland. ”

Mullen stepped down from the carriage, picked up Bob Weir with both hands, and said, "Your Excellency Will, please get up, you are the mainstay of Rowland County, Rowland County has been able to prosper so much under your leadership for many years, and I should salute you on behalf of Rowland County." ”

Bob Weir said: "His Royal Highness the Grand Duke has won the award, but I am just doing my duty to live up to the trust placed in me by His Majesty the King." ”

The two sides said some more nonsense that did not feed and complimented each other before entering the city of Lott together.

Although the city of Lot has been captured by thieves several times in ten years, and even the county guards of Roland County have died, the city of Lot is still very prosperous.

The prosperity of Lott City is not as good as the royal capital, and even Bohemian City, but in this wild place, Lott City is like a pearl.

Bob Weir hosted a banquet at his mansion to entertain Mullen, accompanied by Mullen's bodyguard Othello, and Captain Reed was also invited, but Reed turned down Bob Will's invitation under the pretext of taking care of the army.

At the banquet, Mullen and Bob Weir touted each other, but they were actually testing each other's bottom line.

Bob Weir understands that this time he can't treat Mullen like he did with the former county guards of Roland County, the former county guards of Roland County were just out-of-gas little nobles, and when he went to Roland County to serve as a county guard, he was assigned, and no one cared about him even if he died.

But Mullen is different, he is not only the new Grand Duke of Roland, but the most important thing is that his grandfather is the kingdom's Minister of Etiquette, a high and powerful position, and Bob Weir will not dare to touch this mold.

King Durán underestimated his deterrent power on the Lott Plains, believing that the county warden he had appointed would be bullied like the previous county guards, and even his life would not be guaranteed.

Although the Lotus Plains were located in the wilderness, the three city lords of the Lott Plains had already learned from the merchants that there was an Archduke of Roland who was coming, and they also knew that this Archduke of Roland was also the grandson of the Minister of Etiquette.

Ordinary businessmen certainly did not understand the filthy intercourse between the upper nobility, and a hereditary title of Grand Duke was enough for them to regard the new Grand Duke of Roland as a rookie in their careers.

The arrival of Mullen made the three land snakes on the Lotus Plain think that they had gone too far before, and the kingdom was ready to clean them up, and they all became frightened birds.

The three local snakes put aside their grievances and sat down to discuss the way, and finally decided to buy this Grand Duke of Roland first, if this Grand Duke of Roland accepted his own benefits, it means that there is still a situation of recovery, if not, kill this Grand Duke first, and prepare to resist the kingdom's army together.
