Chapter 22: Ron

Lindong City is located in the east of the Kongdu Territory, established in the Helian Mountains, as the strongest line of defense to protect the base camp, the Seventh Legion of Lindong City has the top combat power and the most advanced armament, this steel giant city stands like an impregnable fortress in the sea breeze, in fact, it does play the role of a fortress, only to protect the city in the rear, the base camp of the Duke of Winton.

As a duke, it is obviously a bit overstepping to use the word Jun as the name of his city, but everyone knows that the Duke of Winton has no respect and loyalty to the king at all, and if it were not for the Holy See, the Duke of Winton would have gathered an army and removed the king from the throne who only knew how to drink and engage in prostitution.

Duke Winton belongs to the Tieliu Kingdom, the most divided kingdom among the five countries on the mainland, the king is incompetent, just a puppet supported by the Holy See, maybe he thinks that stupid people are easier to control, but he didn't expect it to be self-defeating, the princes and dukes who hold military power in various places have their own faction, defying the king's orders, encroaching on the surrounding land to expand their power, and Duke Winton is the most powerful of these warlords.

There are 17 regiments under his command, with more than 120,000 personnel who can participate in the battle, 30 percent of them are heavy cavalry, 67 percent are light cavalry, and some of them are special operations teams, and their main task is to carry out assassination, spread rumors, and so on, to put it bluntly, to engage in espionage work.

As a descendant of King Lionheart, Duke Winton is always thinking about re-ascending to the throne and changing the name of Duke Winton to Capet V, but there is more than one person who has the same idea as him, and the warlords in the kingdom are secretly observing and coveting that throne, and whoever dares to take the lead in the charge will inevitably suffer a joint attack from the rest of the warlords.

It is not for nothing that the gun shoots the first bird.

The Holy See will not watch the puppet he has raised single-handedly be ousted from the throne, Duke Winton is not a figure who can be controlled, if he ascends to the throne and reigns on the Iron Stream, he will never allow the Holy See's hand to reach his kingdom, then the Holy See will completely lose control of a country, and at the same time, it will also lose the resources of the Iron Flow Kingdom to pay tribute to the Holy See.

This is something that the Pope can't bear, so over the years, he has been carefully maintaining the balance of several major forces in the Tieliu Kingdom, neither letting them have large-scale wars, nor allowing them to develop comfortably, despite repeated suppression, the rise of the Duke of Winton is still like mushrooms after a rain, unstoppable.

Lindong City is built on the mountain and by the sea, in the early morning from the sea with a salty sea breeze, lifting the hair of a man on the city wall, because of the long stay here, his skin is not as delicate and white as other nobles, but looks a little rough and black, he did not wear the uniform of an officer, but wore a coat, the curly blonde hair was casually draped behind his back, he crouched on the city wall, his eyes looked into the distance.

Yazov looked at him, and sighed very emotionally, how could there be such an outstanding man as Lord Ron in this world, just standing there calmly, it made people feel an indescribable pressure, his appearance was not outstanding, and he was not even as handsome as Yazov, but he had an extraordinary temperament, which made people feel ashamed of themselves in front of him.

Unlike his two younger brothers, who are only a little smart, Lord Ron is a real hero who can get the world, he has a good family education and wisdom of the nobles, as well as the cruelty and cunning of the devil, he is an unpredictable person, even the always arrogant Yazov seems a little lacking in confidence in front of him.

When Lord Winton appointed Lord Ron to take over the Seventh Legion a few years ago, everyone thought that Lord Duke was crazy, how could a teenager manage a huge legion, and how could he intimidate those battle-hardened ruffians?

But Ron used his own means to silence all those who questioned him, since he took over the Seventh Legion, Lindong City has been more solid than any period, replacing all the weapons and equipment of the Seventh Legion with the latest style, and improving the soldiers' salaries more than a notch, this move has made his prestige in the army reach an unprecedented height.

In fact, since Ron came to Lindong City to take up his post, he has not asked the Duke of Winton for even a single silver coin, and these silver coins have been plundered by him and his army.

Ron established a harbor in Lindong City, bribed the pirates wandering in this sea with a large amount of silver coins, let them lead the way for his fleet, plunder all the areas and merchant ships that the fleet could reach, and after familiarizing himself with the terrain, Ron mercilessly executed the pirates who led the way for him, and hung their corpses on the sails, turning their faces several times faster than turning a book.

Relying on this income, Lindong City was able to quickly expand, and the Seventh Legion gradually became the strongest combat force under the command of Duke Winton, and Ron, as the leader of the Seventh Legion, his dominance could not be shaken.

"Don't let people find out what you're going to do, and they won't know what you're going to do next. Yazov often remembered what Lord Ron said to him, "Do whatever it takes to achieve your goals, this is the true nature of a hero.

After breaking through the city, slaughtering prisoners and civilians is just to improve his deterrent, Yazov doesn't think there is anything wrong with this, Lord Ron has always advocated the slaughter of the city, but Yazov knows that Ron just doesn't want to bear the infamy of slaughtering civilians, in this case, then it is up to me to bear the stigma of this bloody butcher.

"Yazov, how do you feel about going around the Kongdu Collar?" Ron's tone was also a little lazy, somewhat similar to Rand's, perhaps due to the Duke of Winton's bloodline, his three sons were all extremely close in tone and expression.

"Informed, my lord. Yazov took two steps forward and leaned against the wall side by side with Ron, "There's something that I think must be reported to you." ”

"What's the matter?" Ron turned around, folded his arms over his chest, and looked at his front, only to notice the difference between him and Rand, Ron's stature was even taller, he appeared extremely powerful, and his body proportions were close to perfect.

"There have been many rumors about your brother, but I can tell you now, Lord Ron, that most of those rumors are not true. "His personality is definitely not cowardly, but aggressive, he looks like a completely different person than it is rumored, and I have heard that he has recently been making a new weapon." ”
