The soldier froze, took a breath, and then walked in front of Jiajing, and made a military salute with a neat movement, and his voice was loud: "Dear Viscount Athena, it is the rule of our empire to leave the door and get out of the car, please forgive us for our rudeness." I don't know why the honorable Viscount Athena came to the Punksa City Lord's Mansion?"

The aristocratic rune worn on Jiajing's chest has already clarified his empire, title, and family name.

Jiajing smiled silently, and Lao Ke stepped forward at the right time and handed over the post: "Viscount Yanjing Liu Fu Jiajing, the patriarch of the Athena Yanjing family, came to visit Lord Roland and Master Pauli Zongsi, and I hope the captain will report on my behalf!"

After speaking, Lao Ke secretly stuffed ten gold coins into the captain, and said with a smile: "This is our lord who invited a few brothers to drink." ”

In fact, Jiajing's cash is running out, and the damn fake scepter actually costs 2,000 gold, and the magic crystal is still from Jiajing himself. Although Jiajing also thinks that this scepter made in the aesthetic style of the elves is very exquisite, but he always feels that it is not worth the money at all, but in order to be able to meet the magician, Jiajing is still stingy, no matter how rich you appear, if you don't give those soldiers a little practical benefit, it will be in vain.

Lao Ke knew this very well, how elaborate and ornate a prayer sticker was, if the content inside was not interesting, it would only be a waste of the money they spent to decorate the worship sticker.

The captain really showed a happy face, and hurriedly handed over the worship to the soldier beside him, and ordered him to pass it on to the city lord immediately, and then said politely to Jiajing: "Please wait here for a while, and there will be news soon." ”

Jiajing nodded, still not speaking. As the patriarch of the Yanjing family, this bit of shelf still needs to be had.

Roland was discussing strategies with Master Pauly Zongs on how to deal with the Swamp Clan, when he heard a report from his subordinates that Viscount Athena had come to visit him and Master Pauli Zongs.

Roland's face changed slightly, and he motioned for the messenger to put down the sticker in his hand, and said to Master Pauli Zongsi in a deep voice: "Master, Athena's people are suddenly visiting, could it be that they already know about it......"

Although he is the lord of a city and has the title of marquis, his status is still not as high as that of Master Poly Zongsi.

Master Pauly Zongsi was indifferent: "Except for Your Majesty, me, and you, only General Dopptonle knows about this plan, how can it leak out." Maybe they found out some kind of gossip, so they came to test it. Now that the Empire is preparing to use troops against the Swamp Clan, we have to pay more attention to the relationship with Athena, let people call them in, and we don't have to guess their intentions. ”

It turned out that the real intention of Paulizons to come to Punksa City was to find out the reality of the Swamp Clan and the deployment of troops.

The current monarch of the Elite Empire, Payne, is a wise monarch with great ambitions, who is not satisfied with the status quo and wants to annex the adjacent Athena Empire because of his national strength.

The two superpowers are not always able to sleep soundly next to each other, and Payne has been planning to achieve this goal for more than five years. There are as many as seven or eight countries bordering the Elite, but if the Essence wants to send troops against Athena, the only ones who can really harass the Perfection are the Swamp Clan of the Sunset Swamp, the Treant Clan of the Ethiopian Forest, and a few large elven clans, as well as the Sea Clan beyond the Great Coast.

In contrast, the peace-loving Treants have always been people who don't offend me, and I don't offend people. As long as the Essence never invades the Great Forest of Ethiopia, the Treants and Elves will definitely not take the opportunity to sneak attack the Essence.

As for the sea tribe in the vast sea, they can't leave the sea for long, even if they have the heart to go to the mainland to catch a handful, they will not shake the foundation of the empire.

After thinking about it, Payne thought about it, and the most worrying thing was the Swamp Clan, who had scarce farmland and had long been eyeing the resource-rich Elite Empire, and if the Elite suddenly sent troops to attack Athena, the Swamp Clan would definitely give it a blow in the back.

Although Athena showed signs of gradual decline, the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and it was impossible for the elite to conquer Athena quickly. After all, in this way, if the swamp clan takes the opportunity to attack, the essence will have to fight on both sides, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

So Payne intends to adopt a gradual annexation strategy, using five to seven years to drag down Athena.

Therefore, Master Pauli Zongsi came to the Swamp Clan to find out the truth of the other party, which was also part of Monarch Payne's plan to annex Athena.

Payne didn't want to annihilate the Swamp Clan, which is not very realistic, after all, the Sunset Swamp itself is a huge quagmire, and no matter how many troops and material resources you throw away, you can't fill it. All he wanted to do was to seize the Ten Thousand Beasts Castle at the exit of the swamp and force the swamp clan back into the depths of the swamp.

The geographical location of the Castle of Ten Thousand Beasts is particularly important, it is surrounded by a very secret swamp quagmire, even the swamp people dare not easily set foot in it, only a large road leads to the grassland outside, which can be said to be the throat of the sunset swamp.

Of course, the swamp clan is very aware of the strategic role of the Ten Thousand Beast Castle, so they have sent heavy troops to guard it, and the werewolves and lizardmen alone will definitely not be less than 30,000, and there are almost 8,000 beast trainers.

If the Castle of Ten Thousand Beasts is destroyed and guarded by the Elite with heavy human troops, it will be even more difficult for the Swamp Clan to retake it.

However, conquering the Castle of Ten Thousand Beasts was not an easy task, otherwise Payne would not have tolerated it until today.

If he hadn't planned to send an army to Athena to relieve his worries, he wouldn't have chosen to provoke the swamp clan and attack the castle of all beasts, which was starved of supplies.

However, at this critical juncture, Athena's Viscount suddenly visited, and it is no wonder that Roland and Paulizons were suspicious.

After Roland instructed the guards to invite Jiajing and the others in, Pauli Zongsi closed his eyes and kept tapping his index finger on a sticker he had just put down, and said to himself: "Yanjing family? interesting, Yanjing Liu Fu Jiajing, Jiajing family...... Why don't you seem to have heard of the Athena Empire having the name of this family?"

The rise of a noble family is not a simple matter, first of all, it must be canonized by the empire, and secondly, it must be recognized by the old nobles. Canonization is easy, but it is much harder to be recognized by other nobles. Almost every nobleman had his own circle of influence, which was difficult for outsiders to enter, especially since they would deliberately squeeze the new nobles in order to maintain and strengthen their position from being violated.

All the ancient aristocratic families of the empire today were formed through several generations, even more than a dozen generations, and hundreds of years of hard work.

Pauli Zongsi has an understanding of Athena's famous aristocratic family, and in his opinion, this Yanjing family may just be some very old aristocratic family that is in decline in Athena.
