Chapter 122 Where Did the Duke of Cowenshire Go?
After Leo explained the character of the girl in front of him a little, Isenus had to treat the girl named Lizanka with caution.
is the same type as Leo, which means that her seemingly sharp and arrogant images are actually disguises.
Or just a small display of personality types.
Lizzana's true character still needs a lot to be discovered.
To that end, Isenas took a little control of the agenda for the upcoming meeting.
"Well, let's share the information we've gathered first, and then we'll talk about Rizanka joining the team. Isenas nodded to little Paul. "It starts with you. ā
Seeing little Paul pull out a piece of paper in a mocking manner, Lizanka leaned in and looked at it for a while, then turned her head with a look of confusion on her face.
"What is this little kid here for? Honestly, I can smell the grass from him. How can there be such a guy in the famous dragon adventure group?"
Hearing Lizanka's criticism of his own team members, Leo spoke with a little seriousness on his face: "That's because you're blind, he's our reliable partner, an indispensable member of the team." ā
"With his twelfth-level fighting spirit, I should probably pray that he doesn't hold you back... Oh, it's level thirteen now. ā
With the help of those dragon blood alchemy nutrients obtained from the craftsman town, little Paul's height and fighting spirit have risen rapidly, and he is already approaching the thirteenth level level in one winter.
But at this level, although with the auxiliary equipment and epic dragon bow made by Master Samiha, little Paul's combat power can play a role in most situations, but in the face of the legendary catastrophe-level ability, he still seems weak, and this sense of powerlessness is also the driving force for him to spur his cultivation.
And Lizanka's words just now obviously offended little Paul's fragile and sensitive self-esteem, and even made his restless magic on the edge of promotion soar to the sky, breaking through the thirteenth level barrier.
Watching the chaotic scene that began because of Paul Jr.'s sudden promotion, Isenas began to have a headache again.
"Wait, then, little Paul, and hold your spirit, Omony, you come. After stabilizing Paul's situation, Esenas rubbed his temples and pointed to Ormoni, who seemed to be the smartest on the team.
However, before Omoni could stand up and say a word, Rizanka looked at Leo with a suspicious gaze.
"An old man? Can he pick up a plate? I'm starting to wonder if your team is worth joining, old man, kid, what's more?
Omoni cleared his throat a little unhappily: "Actually, I am a wizard and do not rely on strength to eat. ā
"Mage?"
"It's a wizard. Omoni emphasized.
"It's the caster, anyway. Lizanka waved her hand absently. "What direction of spells are you good at?Attack?Guard?Support?What energy attribute spells are you good at?How many levels of specialized spells can you cast?What about forbidden spells?Does the caster's half-plane have a clue?"
Lizanka asked quickly and urgently, revealing an extremely in-depth knowledge of the caster's profession.
Omoni breathed.
"Good at, guardian spells, arcane specialization can be cast to level 7..."
Hearing this, Lizanka interrupted Omoni's words very rudely: "So, there are a total of 9 levels of spells under the forbidden spell, right? Level 8 corresponds to the Sanctuary, and level 9 corresponds to the Legendary Gate. ā
Lizanka glanced at Omoni disdainfully, and softly hummed a phrase out of her nostrils. "Level 7. ā
"Iā" Omoni raised his hand softly in the skeptical gazes of his companions, wanting to explain.
"Also the wizard. ā
Lizanka's light and cold snort completely detonated Omoni.
His role in the team has always been underestimated by his peers, and Lizzana's behavior of staring at Omoni's pain points can be regarded as a serious provocation.
"Little girl, I'll let you see how a level 7 wizard cleans up people!"
"Come on, old man, I'm going to use your broken wand as a fork today!
The pain in Isenas's head was sharp again, more painful than the stone tearing through his consciousness and forcibly pouring the message into it.
While rubbing his temples that were getting bulging more and more, he activated his Sanctuary ability and unexpectedly tied up this little girl who liked to cause trouble.
In the strong resistance of "hmm", Isenas looked at Leo who was paralyzed by salted fish, little Paul, who was steady, Ormoni, who was also tied to his side, and Nana, who was at a loss.
He fully understood Leo's mood when he said that this was his grandfather.
It's simply a big scourge spirit.
With a wry smile, he pointed at Ent.
"Ent, you speak first, be calm. ā
Ente nodded.
"I'm going to the territory of the four dukes. I think compared to the other counts and marquises, the information about the armies of the four dukes and themselves is the most important. ā
"Because the Duke of Sand Fox is close to Far East City, he is stationed here all the year round, and the army under his command is also a division of a hundred battles, if you want to choose the main force of attack, his army is definitely the best breakthrough. ā
"Duke Clover occasionally comes here to make rounds, but unfortunately his military strength is not known for his frontal bravery, but is very good at intriguing and tricking. ā
"And Archduke Frederick. Entre glanced at Leo. "Leo's father, who was here for the first time yesterday and gave a speech in front of the Baron's Viscount's Combined Army. The soldiers under his command are the well-known elites of the two kingdoms, and they are well-deserved main attackers. ā
Leo straightened his seat slightly, and nodded his head in understanding.
If possible, he did not want to come into direct contact with the Grand Duke at all now.
"As for the Duke of Cowinshire. Ente frowned and said, "She hasn't been seen until now." ā
"She?" Isenas subconsciously repeated the words Ent's words.
"Yes, a duchess. Ente deliberately took out a piece of paper and handed it to Esenus. "This is the information I bought, and this duchess is remarkable. ā
Everyone pricked up their ears, even Rizanka.
Isenas quickly swept the information, his pupils shrank, and he slowly said, "Old Duke Covenshire, died three years ago in the development of foreign affairs. Because of the extremely sudden death of the duke, who was in the prime of life, all the successors did not develop enough ability to succeed, which led to an extremely chaotic inheritance. Coupled with the chaotic private life of the Duke of Cowinshire, in addition to the three children who had formal inheritance, there were a large number of illegitimate children who, with the support of their maternal line, greedily fought for the succession of the duke. ā
This battle for the throne finally came to an end a year ago, and the duke's eldest daughter, Catherine, who was only twenty years old, ended this bloody war that lasted for two years and lasted like a joke with a ferocious means and a tough attitude. During this period, a total of six bastards and their mothers were wiped out by Catherine, who gained more than one and a half counties in the civil war. ā
"This woman is so cruel!" said Lizanka, tearing the strip from her mouth and criticizing the duchess.
At the same time, her gaze stole at everyone in the room.
"I can't say it's ruthless. Leo touched his smooth chin and spoke his opinion to the young duchess. "I think her decision is quite decisive, and to these nobles, bastards are like enemies. Most illegitimate children will expressly declare that they have the same inheritance rights as their formal children, and even if they are unable to inherit, they should be entitled to varying degrees of maintenance, which, depending on the status of the mother of the illegitimate child, is often equal to the net tax of one or a half viscounts for one year. In other words, even if Catherine peacefully took over the title of duke, she would still have to face the constant harassment of these so-called branch families, and in the case of rushing to take over the duke's title, this is not a good internal situation. Therefore, taking advantage of the civil strife to kill a clean one, on the one hand, he can show his prestige and convince other vassals in the family, and on the other hand, he can save a lot of money. ā
Leo said the first word, causing Rizanka's eyes to keep rolling on him.
"So, little handsome man, what do you think of this new duke?"
"Very powerful, very decisive. Leo thought for a moment and added, "A little better than me." ā
Lizanka was very satisfied, shook the rotten wood on her body, walked up to Leo, and patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction: "Very discerning, young man." ā
Leo slapped her hand away and said in disgust: "Don't touch it, I'm a family man." ā
Ignoring the commotion below, Isenas asked, "What about the strength of this duchess, the army?"
"Strength is determined to be legendary. As for the army, the polarization was very serious, and the wave of troops that followed her to quell the civil strife was not large in number, but it was boundless, and it could be said that it was invincible, a little more powerful than the core army of Archduke Frederick, and the newly recruited troops were very ordinary, the level of a second-rate army. In other words, there is a high probability that they will appear as surprise soldiers. ā
"I see. Isenas made a few notes in his notebook, looked up and asked, "That's pretty much the case with the duke, what about the marquises, counts, and viscounts, barons, and the combined army?"
After the team was formed, Isenas no longer assigned tasks as before, but left them to do whatever they wanted.
Omoni raised his hand.
"I think I can provide some information about the Marquis and the Earl. ā
"The autonomy of these marquis and earls is relatively high, and most of them are leased by a small number of elites with most of the regular army, that is, substitutes after the cannon fodder is consumed, which is used to buffer the battle line and provide opportunities for the main force to play. ā
Isenas likewise wrote it down on paper: "That is, they are not critical. ā
"What about the Combine Army?"
"Cannon fodder. Little Paul shrugged. "They themselves know that they are cannon fodder. But the speech of Archduke Frederick seemed to be quite effective, and the soldiers of the Northern, Central and Southern Fronts were enthusiastic. ā
"The nobles of all evil. Isenus muttered quietly, looking up at Leo. "What about you? You seem to have gone deep into the enemy camp, do you have any information?"
Leo pointed at Lizanka and said, "Ask her, she knows a lot more than I do." ā
Lizanka, who was named, kicked the wood fragments on the ground and said stiffly, "I won't say it." ā
It was clear that Isenas had just him off a bit by his rude moves.
"A steak of your choice, as many as you want. Esenas said dryly.
Lizanka was shocked: "How do you know I like steak?"
Isenus pointed to the corner of her mouth.
Lizanka hurriedly touched it, and the juice of a piece of steak stuck to her hand.
She ignited her vindictive spirit and burned the brown liquid with a blank face.
"Good, two meals. ā
"No problem. ā
The image and face of a lady are worth exactly three steaks.
However, it was too easy, and there was not even a bargaining process, but Lizanka was a little unaccustomed to it, or rather, did not let her lose her temper.
She snorted, jumped on the back of her chair, changed into an extremely arrogant looking sitting position, and criticized loudly: "These idiot dukes, they think they are fast enough, but the power of the church is obviously greater. According to what I heard this morning, the Church had given a sudden order to attack last night, and all the troops were ready this morning, and the dukes were still arguing over a position to attack. ā
"The forces of the Victory Church and the Sky Church are all feints, and only the Moon Goddess has a surprise attack force, and that is their main force!" Rizanka said firmly.
Leo asked, "In other words, no matter how many resources are invested behind this war, as long as this army is eliminated, this seemingly huge war will be over?"
"Of course!" said Lizanka, of course. "These dukes and churches are not fools. All wars have a purpose, and if there is no purpose, there is no war. ā
"Okay. Leo nodded. "Then who knows, what the goal of this raiding force is?"
In silence, Isenus slowly lifted the stone.
"I figured I could fix that. ā
