"What do you think, Rand?"

Rand glanced at the map and said, "Green's request is not excessive, this circle of land is only twice the area of Green's existing territory, not much, not as good as an earl's territory." ”

"But what can he offer? only a dozen knights!"

"It's not. Rand shook his head and said, "It's not a dozen knights, Green doesn't agree to send his knights to the front, he should provide other help." ”

"Even the knight refuses to provide it, can he just say a few words of help?" Ciro's emotions exploded a little, it was really the current situation in the Andre Kingdom that made him anxious.

Rand's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said, "In this way, I'll go to see Grimm, and my army will be under your command for the time being." ”

Ciro instinctively felt that something was wrong, but the temptation of Rand to hand over the command of the army to him was too great, even if it was only temporary, it was enough to make Ciro let go of other doubts.

Once there is enough time for Ciro to keep both armies firmly in his hands, then at that time, Rand will completely lose the opportunity to compete with Andrew's kingdom.

Once the orc army was repelled and Norton's rebellion was put down, the kingdom of André would be left to him.

Rand rode on his horse, thinking about some of the news that the chamber of commerce steward had passed on to him, this time, Rand found that he seemed to have neglected Green too much before, and this brother of his was far from being as simple as it was circulating in the royal city.

How can a man with little skill easily gain a foothold in the kingdom's frontier and build such a perfect city?

There are also things like Green Hot Sauce, umami, and canned fish, which are not something that ordinary people can make.

Rand thought carefully about everything before, and suddenly remembered one thing, a secret that many people knew in the palace, this sentence sounded contradictory, but it was not contradictory at all.

Green's mother was a wizard, and many people knew about it, but they never dared to mention it, because King André did not allow people to mention it, even if he accidentally said it, he would also ask for sin.

Over time, people gradually forgot about this, including Rand.

"In this way, it seems that my brother is also a wizard, but I don't know if he has been promoted to a full-fledged wizard. ”

But what Rand didn't know was that the truth was very different from what he imagined, and Green was not only an official wizard, but also a fairly powerful kind among official wizards.

But it makes sense that Rand would think so, after all, Green's age is there.

"If the news from the steward is true, then Green probably won't do anything that he is not sure of, and he will not say that he is not sure, since he said that he can help, it must be useful help. ”

With a little anticipation, and at the same time a little uneasy, Rand came to the city of Orleans.

Hansen personally received and brought Rand into the ducal castle.

"Green, long time no see. Rand greeted with a smile.

Green nodded and said, "Long time no see." ”

After a pause, Green said again: "How have you considered my conditions?"

For many reasons, Green intends to keep the kingdom of Andre alive, and will provide help to expel the orc army and quell the Duke of Norton's rebellion, but Green does not intend to help a person who does not know gratitude.

In the worst-case scenario that Green envisioned, that is, neither Rand nor Ciro was sincere enough, Green would watch Duke Norton and the orc army destroy Andrew's kingdom first, and then Green would make a move.

Choose one of the remaining princes, support them on the throne, and give them enough help to complete the revival of Andrew's kingdom and completely destroy the orc army and the Duke of Norton.

This is very simple for Green, after all, even the Soma tribe was defeated by Green, let alone the two orcs and Norton who are not as good as the Soma tribe combined.

It was the first time for Rand to come to Orleans, but before that, Rand had carefully read all the news passed to him by the chamber of commerce's steward, in fact, he had seen it before, but he didn't pay enough attention to it.

Rand knew two points before, the first point, Green Hot Sauce, which is a condiment that Rand also likes, which is in line with Rand's taste, and the chamber of commerce steward will auction at least one bottle for Rand every auction.

Another point was Green's need for fantasy creatures, and at that time Rand didn't think anything was wrong, he just thought that Grimm was interested in these strange things.

In fact, the message that the chamber of commerce steward passed to Rand was much more than that, but Rand didn't pay too much attention to Green, as one of the main heirs to the throne, Rand put most of his energy on cultivating power.

Because of this, Rand, a prince with an ordinary mother's background, was able to become one of the final three candidates.

This situation continued until yesterday, because Rand wanted to come to see Green, he took out the information from the chamber of commerce steward and carefully read it again, and at this time, Rand learned a lot of things he didn't know before.

For example, the construction and planning of Orleans, for example, the factories for canning fish, for example, the Meyer, for example, New Zealand, for example, for the wizarding thing.

And when Rand arrived in Orleans, he was even more surprised.

When Rand passed by New Zealand, Rand was relatively normal, thinking that New Zealand was also a relatively orderly civilian gathering place, nothing special, as long as the managers were serious and responsible, they could do this.

But the moment he arrived in Orleans, Rand was immediately shocked by the city.

The tall city walls, the wide central square, the orderly convoy of vehicles, and the endless flow of people in the business district, I thought that what surprised Rand the most was the happy expression that appeared on the faces of the citizens of Orleans.

Although the city of Orleans may not be as large as the Intramuros, it is stronger than the Intramunes in almost all respects except for this aspect, and it is a prosperous but peaceful city.

Rand thought about it for a moment, if he was a commoner, he would choose between the royal city and Orleans, and he was afraid that he would be more inclined to live in Orleans.

The city has an intangible charm.

And when Rand entered the Duke's Castle and saw the gorgeous and indescribable castle, Rand was even more amazed, such a beautiful and gorgeous castle, even the entire André Kingdom could not find a second one.

At the same time, Rand clearly knew that this castle did not originally exist in Grimm's fiefdom, there was a castle here before, but it only belonged to a viscount, and it was dilapidated.

This means that the castle belonged to Greene who later built it himself.

In just over a year, not only Orleans and New Zealand were built, but also such a gorgeous castle was built, which the vast majority of people in this world could not do.
