Hearing the duke say this, Lu Jingzhi immediately understood why there could be no human soldiers. Although in the world of the undead, humans are only a slave-like subordinate class, in the human world, humans are the mortal enemies of the undead. For historical reasons, the undead would never allow a single human slave to possess force.

"I have a compromise. "Since His Majesty the Emperor can't accept the promotion of human slaves to soldiers, and we can't lack the combat power of light infantry, then when we report our identity, we still report them as human slaves accompanying the army, but when we get to the battlefield, let them become combat members like light infantry." In this way, there is a soldier's reality, but there is no soldier's name, even if His Majesty is still not satisfied, it will be after the battle. ”

Duke Wensha shook his head and said, "Gaso, you are old and confused. If it will displease His Majesty, then what are you going to do on the expedition? Anyway, you will be punished, so it is better to avoid it and not fight. ”

Gaso looked at Lu Jingzhi and saw that he looked like he had a realized face, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the Duke was very different from the magician in terms of mind. He only mentioned it slightly, and the magician thought of the key, but the duke was still unaware, if he was not by his side, he was afraid that the magician would eat him to the point that there were no bones left.

Lu Jingzhi saw that Gasuo didn't say anything, so he asked: "Lord Gasu, if the emperor punishes the duke for this matter, wouldn't it be self-defeating?"

Gasso replied: "The magician probably doesn't know something, Your Majesty is now old, and most of the battles are in charge of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and His Highness pays a lot of attention to military exploits, and does not pay much attention to the details. As long as we can win on the battlefield, Your Highness will be happy, and as long as we don't say it, who knows that the soldiers behind the shields are human?"

Light infantry is a cannon fodder-like unit, less mobile than cavalry, less defensive than heavy infantry, and inferior to archers in long-range strikes. The biggest advantage of this class is that the cost is extremely low, the cost of a knight's full set of equipment can arm two heavy infantry, or five archers, but the light infantry without protection can buy about ten sets.

The duke listened to Gazo's words, and nodded constantly, but still asked: "If there is an old grudge family who secretly makes a stumbling block for us, report it to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and we must not guard against it." ”

Gasso replied, "Yes, my lord, I have my own way to make this matter undocumented." ”

Lu Jingzhi originally listened to it, even if humans can't become infantry on the battlefield, it won't have much impact on his plans, and he just wants humans to improve their status by participating in battles. At this time, when I heard Gasuo say that this matter was undocumented, I was shocked and hurriedly asked, "Lord Gazo, what do you mean by 'undocumented'?"

Gasso smiled gloomily and said, "Your Excellency the Magician should not ask, so as not to make your heart unhappy." ”

Lu Jingzhi was even more convinced of his thoughts, and asked, "Is it to kill them all after the war?"

Gasso and the Duke looked at each other and smiled, and said, "In the past, my lord said that magic has already made Your Excellency have the heart of the undead, but I still don't believe it, but when I see it today, I really have regarded those slaves as mustard." As he spoke, he turned to Duke Wensha and said, "My lord, congratulations, your heir is indeed a great father. ”

Lu Jingzhi's hands trembled, for fear of being discovered by them, so he hurriedly hugged his hands to his chest and said with a forced smile: "Lord Gasu, what is this called a fatherly style." As he spoke, his feet unconsciously twisted together with the legs of the chair.

The duke laughed and said: "My child, you have not been an undead for a few years, and you have never heard of your father's prestige, when your father first took over this territory, there were also villages that dared to resist taxes and not pay, and secretly developed the population. "It's refreshing and proud.

Lu Jingzhi's eyes closed, his heart was miserable, and then he thought that this was another temptation by Gasu. As long as you are the slightest careless, you will be killed. After thinking for a moment, he opened his eyes and smiled at the duke: "It's a pity that there is no wine here, otherwise I must give my father a glass to wish my father eternal prestige." At this time, I called the word father again, and there was no truth in my heart, so naturally I didn't hesitate at all. It's just that his heart fluctuates greatly, and his voice can't help but tremble a little.

Gasso threw a bombshell on the side again, blowing Lu Jingzhi to the outside and tender inside. I only heard him say to the duke: "And that little girl named Tangtang, if her identity as a human knight is revealed, I am afraid that it will be inconvenient for her to be in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." ”

The Duke nodded and said, "This matter cannot be ignored. If anyone knows that there is a human in our army who has become a knight, I am afraid that they will sue me. After another thought, Xiang Gaso said angrily: "Didn't you come up with this idea at the beginning?!" It was because I wanted Lu Jingzhi to have a little more scruples that I gave the human girl the knight status, so that he could control Tangtang more easily through direct orders. Gasso's repeated assurances that nothing would go wrong before the Duke of Windsor agreed to do what he had planned. Now that Gasso has brought up this difficult problem again, isn't this uncomfortable for himself?

Gaso smiled: "Don't worry about it, I naturally have been prepared for this." ”

Lu Jingzhi was shocked and hurriedly asked, "Lord Gasuo, what are your preparations?"

Gasso took out a shiny, round, and cold thing from his arms, handed it to Lu Jingzhi, and said, "As long as the magic envoy eats this for the little girl, everything will naturally be solved." ”

Lu Jingzhi recognized this thing, it was the ice pill he swallowed in one bite, and when he heard the duke say that he ate this thing, he was recognized as a member of the undead. At this time, when I saw it, my heart instantly became bright, all of this was Gasso approaching himself to have a showdown with the duke, either to betray all the human beings, and even his sister Rong'er, or to directly turn against the duke. It is definitely not possible to turn your face directly, not to mention that you don't know magic at all, even if you really know magic, how can you win a favor under the hands of two big undead with one against two?

"Father, I'm afraid this is not good......" Lu Jingyi replied as his mind raced, thinking of all kinds of excuses.

"How is it bad?" said the duke, happily, "it is like killing two birds with one stone. What's wrong with being able to shut up those old old-fashioned people, and to get that little girl out of her inferior human identity?"

Gasso said in a gloomy voice, "Could it be that the magician still thinks that humans are better than the undead, and still considers himself human?"

"This ......" Lu Jing was speechless, suddenly thought of something, and said busily: "Father, she is still young and short in stature, whether it is archery or close combat, she suffers more. It's better to wait for her for a few years, and when she grows up, it's not too late to take this ice pill. ”

The duke sighed and said, "If you don't mention this, I will forget that she is a good hand with a bow, and if she loses her strength in the future because of her impatience, it will be too undeserved." After that, he glared at Gasso, and said, "What kind of idea did you come up with! Are you still ready to destroy one of my generals?"

When Gasuo heard Lu Jingzhi say this, he knew that it was bad, how could he ignore this. I had no choice but to argue: "If you just give her an ice pill and don't urge it for the time being, just like a magician, she still retains her human body, and it won't affect her growing taller." ”

Lu Jingzhi was furious in his heart, and secretly said in his heart: "I don't use the duke to clean you up, you keep using the duke to block me, if I don't fight back, I, Lu Jingzhi, will be in vain." If you hadn't said these strange things in front of your own lord, how would we have fought with Ados, and how would we have damaged His Excellency Afaryn? If it weren't for the open and secret fight between you and Ice Sword Sauer in front of his father, where would Sauer rebel out of the city? If you are here to provoke my relationship with my father, do you have to let my father kill me, and you will be satisfied?" Father, now Gasso regards his son as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, as long as he kills him quickly, the son does not want to die in his hands, please father give me a happy one. "This sword was given to Lu Jingzhi by the Duke of Windsand at that time, and now Lu Jingzhi took it out and handed it to the duke, which seemed to be a kind of irony.

The Duke was also annoyed at this time, obviously he had four great undead under his command, and his strength had increased greatly, but he had lost two in the first battle, and now the remaining two were making trouble again, which was really a headache - if his head could still hurt. According to the usual temperament, it is natural to be inseparable, don't look at Lu Jingzhi is nominally an only son, but he is far less intimate than Gasso, after all, Gasso has been with him for so many years. But if he really favors Gazo at this time, kills Lu Jingzhi, or directly activates the corpse worm in the ice pill, turning Lu Jingzhi into an undead, it will inevitably cause him a lot of mental damage. Then who will bring troops for himself? Now the only one who can deter the knights is himself, and only this magic envoy Lu Jingzhi.

The duke took the sword and put it aside, stepped forward again, helped Lu Jingzhi up, and said, "My child, of course I believe in you as a father." After that, he glared angrily at Gasu: "I said that you are old and confused, but you don't recognize it, and now my son is also annoyed by your nonsense, you still haven't come to apologize, and the magic envoy ice to release the suspicion." He said this, but his face was full of eyes, and he asked Gasso to listen to him.

When Gasuo saw the duke like this, he had no choice but to sigh again in his heart - as long as the duke kept a straight face, didn't make a move, and didn't let go, would Lu Jingzhi dare to turn his face with the duke? He could only obediently give the ice pill to his sister to eat, which was tantamount to a double insurance, and it wasn't to take him to death? But when he met this kind of self-proclaimed smart lord, it was useless to insist on it, and if the duke couldn't get off the stage at this time, I was afraid that Lu Jingzhi would be able to easily take advantage of the duke's bad feelings towards him, and let himself die without a place to be buried. Thinking of this, Gasso bowed down his already stiff body and said, "Magic makes Your Excellency forgive your sins, and I didn't think about it for a while, so I let magic embarrass Your Excellency and the Duke." In this way, according to the magic envoy, this ice pill will not be eaten by the sugar knight first. ”

Lu Jingzhi's heart was relieved, and Tangtang was finally out of danger.

Did Gazor just give up, and how did the Duke face the problem of sending troops?

If you want to know what happens next, let's see the next breakdown.
