"This is the guy who invented soap and perfume?" a man in a fat head and big ear in a fancy costume stood outside the iron railing and looked at Zhang Li inside with great interest, but the more he looked at it, the more wrong he felt.

This man...... How to wilt your head and slump your head.

The knight beside him immediately replied, "Yes, Lord Marquis, we have checked the portrait, and he is the man. ”

"Oh, Duke Eberlock will give me this cash cow?" said the marquis, incredulous.

"He's been scrapped, we've examined, his tongue has been cut off, his tendons and hamstrings have been broken, and there are blood stains in his ears, and with a very unstable mental state, we suspect that he has been tortured inhumanely, and now we are afraid that we will not be able to get anything of value from him. ”

"Huh!?Isn't he a waster?And what did the Eberlocks hand him over for?"

"In order to show us their sincerity, they want to help us achieve victory under the slogan of Qingjun's side, and of course, there are conditions, that is, they hope that we can help them clear the threat from their territory after the victory. ”

"Eberlock's family is really shameless, hum, it seems that they don't care about the nobility now, anyway, the factory has been built, this guy is useless, in order to prevent him from divulging secrets and to monopolize the factory, it is better to find a reason to abolish him and hand him over as a favor, it is really a good idea. The marquis snorted unhappily: "Although we can win without their help, but forget it, it is also good for us to spread public opinion by being able to get the support of an old nobleman, let that army go to the battlefield, and let him talk to Anthony about what conditions are, I don't bother to care......"

The fat marquis then reluctantly looked at Zhang Li in the prison, and said to the knight: "Find a priest to treat him, and if it really doesn't work, escort him to Anthony, Anthony should hate this guy very much." ”

So saying, he turned and left.

Blackwell, a town named after its lord, is located southeast of Stormwind.

The local lord, the chubby marquis, is one of the five councilors of the Stormwind Kingdom, and this is the closest to Nighttown, and the first thing you will pass along the road from Nighttown is his town.

This marquis is also the third person in the councillors in addition to Boval and Anthony, and his status is in the middle of the five councilor families, because the other two councillor families, the Stonefield family and the Marcolan family are too close to Anthony's Spiegel Town and Boval's Shining Gold Town, especially Shining Gold Town, with this behemoth, they don't want to be the first choice for merchants, the economic conditions are backward, and the right to speak is not high, and the two of them can only rank last.

Although after colluding with the Black Dragon MM, these two families are very greedy for a lot of black money, plus they have accepted a large number of refugees from the western wilderness, and now they are shaking, there were only three thousand private soldiers before, and now I am afraid that there are no less than seven or eight thousand.

But although they trembled, this ranking still hasn't changed, after all, you will be greedy for me, and I am more powerful than you, so I am more greedy than you, so the Blackwell family is still ranked third, plus most of the refugees in the Twilight Forest have entered his territory, and the number of people under his command is only higher than those two.

In the past, he was able to put together 5,000 private soldiers under his hands, but now he can't stop 10,000, and if you count the logistics troops, the detailed number is about 12,000, which is more powerful than the Duke of Eberlock.

And this time, the coalition of the four councilors led by Anthony, he assigned 7,000 people to fight in Shining Gold Town, and the two last families each contributed 5,000, and finally Anthony and they sent more than 10,000, and nearly 30,000 people came together.

No one can really send out all their family resources, they still need people to maintain order in their territory, and they also need people to protect their territory.

However, the Marquis's desire to let the three thousand men of the Eberlock family go to war was doomed to failure, and the garrison of the three thousand night towns, after being recognized as friendly troops, set up camp directly next to their barracks, and then went in to eat every meal, for several days.

The army didn't bring much food at all, and their food was calculated to be enough to consume on the way to the town.

So after they came here, they ate and drank in the name of friendly troops, even if they ate or two, but they planned to do the same for all meals.

If you don't give them food and drink, then they will go out in the name of the alliance army to cheat and cheat (here the alliance refers to the alliance of parliamentarians), eat the overlord meal in the town, and in the face of a group of soldiers, those restaurant and tavern owners dare not urge to ask for money, so they can only find the local sheriff to report the situation, but the sheriff is not easy to manage.

You go and say two things to them, and they say that we are here to help you fight, that we are friendly forces, and that the war will kill people, so what's wrong with eating something from you compared to life?

Some people also began to ridicule the mode, sarcastically mocking the Blackwell family as a group of poor people who were reluctant to supply friendly troops with no food, which really broke the hearts of friendly soldiers, and really insulted the name of the nobles, disgraced the ancestors, etc., in short, all kinds of foul language.

Some generals really can't get used to them, and want to take coercive measures, this group of ruffians is not afraid, anyway, your main force is in Shanjin Town, and now there are only about 5,000 people here, and our 3,000 people are not necessarily opponents, if you want to do it, then good! Come on! Hurt each other!

As long as you dare to make the first move, then we dare to go outside and spread the word that the Blackwell family is destroying the alliance, and it will definitely not look good on your master's face.

So they could only bear it, the Marquis agreed to give them a batch of food, thinking of quickly bombing them away, and when they got to the town of Shining Gold to annoy Anthony, they received the food, but there was no action to leave, every time you went to urge them, they said that they were preparing for mobilization, and every time you went to urge them, they said that they would leave as soon as they were fast, but they didn't move.

"These bastards!" the fat marquis slapped the table angrily: "I can see it, they want to stay here all the time to work and not make efforts, and wait for the front to win before reaping the fruits of victory, Duke Eberlock is really a good calculation!"

"What shall we do, my lord?" said the knight beside him, with a look of righteous indignation.

"What should I do? I've already reported the news of the alliance with them, what else can I do?"

"Then we'll keep them!?"

"Is there any other way? If we drive them away, it will be true, and when the time comes, they will spread the word that we are destroying the alliance and expelling friendly forces, which will be a big stain on our family! The Eberlock family is now in this form of a single person, and we are no match for losing face, but ...... I didn't grow up at a loss......

As he spoke, the marquis began to write letters, still muttering them.

"Anthony and they have already guessed that Marcus and the others left Stormwind City in search of reinforcements, although the surrounding lords have no ability to change anything, but no one wants to see crazy words everywhere, no matter when we are famous, if we don't take advantage of morality, it will be too bad for our rule, especially Anthony, the main messenger, at this time Duke Eberlock is willing to stand up and support him, it is a great surprise, so even if he raises this group of people for nothing, he must be willing. ”

At this time, the knight beside him had already guessed that his master was going to count the maintenance expenses on Anthony's head, and he was very happy that his family would not have to suffer.

"Give him this letter, and if he won't pay, then we'll stop feeding our men, and let the seven thousand soldiers follow the example of this group of ruffians, and if that we're the case, we'll earn four thousand rations," smir......ked the chubby......
