Chapter 247: Luo Yaling's Temptation
Just four days after Ron left Bol City, Meria in Bol City received a letter from Roya.
The meaning of the letter is not clear, on the one hand, it congratulates the city of Bol on the success of repelling the army of Beru, and on the other hand, it euphemistically expresses the desire to "help".
"What do they mean, sir?"
The letter was brought back by Galen, and the previous few purchases to Royaling were quite smooth, although due to the increase in the number of purchases, the merchants who sold saltpeter and sulfur in Royaling gradually increased the price, but Royaling did not set up any obstacles, but this time, the high-ranking officers of Royaling politely refused Galen's purchase in Royaling, and asked him to bring back the letter.
"This Luo Ya Ling, maybe he got some news, he wants to come over and take over our defense in Hamp City, the letter said that they will send someone to Bol City to discuss this matter, as well as the future trade between our two places. ”
"This Luo Yaling, he didn't do anything, he just wanted to take Hamp City?" Galen snorted coldly: "Hamp City was attacked, when we were attacked, why didn't we get their help?"
"In the Deathfjord, do you still want to be reasonable? Who will do it without a cheap deal?" Meria said coldly: "But they also think too simply, they may have an advantage in terms of military manpower, but don't forget, what can really make a city develop is the residents of the city, our tax rate is the most attractive, as long as the people spread our tax rate policy, more and more people will rush back." ”
"My lord, the messenger of the Roa Leader has arrived. ”
At this moment, the voice of the herald came from outside the lord's mansion.
"It seems that the people of this Luo Ya Ling are really in a hurry, you come back, and their messenger also comes. Merial laughed suddenly.
"What then, do you want to see them?"
"Why don't you see it? Lord Loya is also a lord, and we are also a lord of Bol Leader, if we don't see it, it's like we're scared of them, Galen, you go and call Finch, I need him to play a play with me." ”
......
Meria walked to the steps outside the vestibule and saw that two officers had already come over, both empty-handed, and there were no bodyguards by their side, both of them looked very thin, their faces were not good, and their eyes were obviously bloodshot, probably because they had not slept well. This is understandable, apparently they received an urgent task and rushed over on horseback overnight.
"Hello Lord Castle. The two officers from Luo Yaling gave her a knightly salute, "It is said that the lord of Boer City is a beautiful woman, and today I saw that it was true." ”
Meria's eyebrows lifted slightly, after recovering the lost territory, she had begun to call herself the lord in her correspondence with Luo Yaling, but the two officers called him the city lord as soon as they came, and it seemed that they came with a mission.
"I should have gone to place Lord Loya first, for some time, the trade between our two places has been going smoothly, and I thank Luo Ya for their support to our Boer Lord. Meria smiled and said, "The two of you don't seem to have a good rest, do you want to go to the lord's mansion to rest first, and then we can talk about things?"
"No need, we are also knights who cultivate fighting spirit, and staying up all night is nothing. My name is Maosa, he's Portland, and the Lord of the City just calls us by name. ”
Maosa was a strong knight with a thick beard, and his beard was even thicker than the thinning hair on his head, while Portland was a middle-aged man with a long face but a short neck, and both messengers were quite recognizable.
"Let's talk while we walk, the Lord's Mansion has just been built, and the furniture inside has not been installed. Meria said as she led Galen in the direction of the schoolyard.
Maosa and Portland looked at each other and followed.
"I saw the letter from Lord Loya to me, we are indeed understaffed now, and from the perspective of protecting the national city, it is not impossible to let Roa take over the defense of Yod Town and Hamp City. Meria suddenly pitched up: "But we also suffered a lot of losses in the war, not only consuming a lot of money, food and materials, but also sacrificing a lot of excellent soldiers. ”
"Your Excellency, what you said is not right, we are all soldiers of the Principality of Hamp, and we are all officers and lords under the Grand Duke, so there is no problem of territorial disputes, and our lord also said that he will report the battle deeds of Lord Boer to the Grand Duke as soon as possible, and then commend the glorious military exploits of Lord Boer in the entire Duchy!"
Galen, who was walking behind Meria, couldn't help coughing, although this officer of the Roa Collar said a lot of words that sounded extremely good, but in fact they were all empty words with no reality, in the war years, no matter how good the verbal praise was, it was not as practical as the army and equipment, not to mention that now the entire Principality of Hamp almost existed in name only, and he didn't even know where he went to work, and the gains and losses of a city were very important to a lord.
Seeing that Meria did not respond, Maosa continued to smile and said, "Of course, the two of us can be regarded as neighbors with each other, and the transaction between us can continue. ”
At this time, they had already arrived outside the school grounds, and Maosa and Portland had followed Meria to the outside of the school grounds.
"Ho!"
Suddenly, a broken cry came, and it was the officer in charge of training in the school field shouting slogans. From a distance, the two officers could still see what was going on in the school yard.
The soldiers in the school field are all holding standard scimitars, lined up in a neat formation, soldier training has become a compulsory course for the defenders of Boer City, even if Kiru is not there, there is a special squad leader to direct the training.
But seeing an order, all the soldiers viciously smashed their scimitars into the ground, and immediately splashed countless sparks, and then the blade was raised upward, bringing a whirring wind.
Maosa and Portland glanced at each other, this Bol lord, it seemed that they had given them another dismount.
They still know the combat effectiveness of the Second Legion of Beru, when the original lord was still there, after the fall of Hamp City, he immediately began to reorganize his armaments, but he was strictly ordered not to leave the station, and this small Boer city was able to defeat the enemy. The combat effectiveness of their army has always been a mystery, which cannot but be said to be a deterrent to the surrounding cities. You have to find the latest chapters by yourself to read books?
