Chapter 150: Helpless

On Leon's desk was a small strip of cloth with an important piece of information on it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The rebellion in Nolan Town ended, but the final result was unexpected, the lord was defeated, and Fury succeeded as the new lord.

"Looks like I'm underestimating this Fury. Leon put away the strip of cloth, which he had sent to inquire about the news, but the news was too shocking.

I thought that according to the military strength of the neighboring water city, it would be right to win a big victory this time, but I didn't want to be defeated by the small town of Nolan.

"Your Highness, it may be that the previous intelligence was wrong, Fury also cultivated other military forces in secret, otherwise how could he win this time?" Chris had his own opinion, and there was only one sentence on the cloth that Fury won, and the rest of the details were not explained.

According to the previous speculation, Fury could not win, and now that the situation is reversed, he must still have retained a hand.

"That's how it should be. "Leon can't think of any other possibility, no matter what, as long as the rebellion is over, and when the situation calms down, it is time to talk about the suppression of bandits.

Leon wants to unite to suppress the bandits, first of all, he has to show the corresponding strength to speak, their previous joint failure, is because of the uneven distribution of interests, everyone can't talk, now Leon comes forward, money is easy to discuss, sitting on a mine is not a joke.

"Your Highness, it is still a question of how many people Lord York can bring back this time, if the number is too small, is it a bit of a waste to be completely arranged in the army?" Chris did not know what the prince had in mind, but according to the actual situation, it would take a lot of time to place the new poor people in the army, and then train them to be able to go to war. If they are placed in a mine, etc., it will bring considerable benefits.

It's a hard question to decide.

The expansion of military power is for long-term interests, and it must be satisfied, but on the other hand, the prince intends to unite to suppress the bandits, and first of all, he must come up with a sum of money to win the hearts of the people, and at present, the castle cannot be taken out, and the income brought by ores and so on is almost spent on large and small projects, and if he wants to increase the income, he can only increase the number of people who mine and smelt.

"We need to take a long-term view, as long as the bandits are eliminated, the land construction will bring more benefits after completion. "Leon thinks about it, it takes time to build up military power, and even after them a group of poor people arrive, military power is still being built.

In addition to the time it takes to train soldiers, it also takes time and money to buy and build weapons and equipment.

What's more, the town is currently too monolithic, with only patrols and ranged archers with long swords. The patrols could barely be used as melee sword and shield soldiers, but the cavalry did not have a single one, which was a great disadvantage on the battlefield.

Horses are needed to build cavalry, which is also a scarce species in Ravenwood, and this time York is out and buying horses is also one of the tasks, and it is unknown how it will be completed.

"Since that's the case, we have to find a way to make some money from somewhere else. Chris saw the situation in the town and couldn't think of it for a while.

Usually when the lord is preparing to go to war, the lack of funds in his hand will make the nobles in the realm donate a part, which does not work in the town at all, and there is no second nobleman except the prince.

"Don't rush at this moment, Fury's foundation is still unstable now, and it will take some time for him to fully control the entire territory, and then he will negotiate a joint crackdown on bandits, as long as he gets the money before he suppresses the bandits. "Leon thinks that it doesn't matter if he can't come up with the money now, as long as the mines in the town are still there, are the lords afraid that they don't have money?

"Well, I'll figure it out slowly. "Chris has this as his biggest goal and must be a priority.

"Your Highness, new news. At this time, the guard walked in with a small cloth towel and said goodbye.

"It seems that the details of this rebellion have been investigated. Leon took it, and before he could open it, he guessed what it was about, but what would it be written?

Chris was about to take care of his business when he was startled when he heard the prince slam the table angrily.

"Your Highness, what's wrong?" Chris picked up the dropped quill, and found that the prince's face was not very good, could it be that something happened?

"Fury's victory this time does have a secret force, but I didn't expect it to be a collusion with robbers. Leon suddenly remembered one thing, that day when he was exploring the road, he encountered a group of robbers, he thought they were going to rob the passing merchants, but now he realized that they were rushing to Nolan Town to help, and by the way to check the terrain of the ambush.

"Collusion with robbers? As the lord of a land, if it spreads, his reputation will not be saved. The first thing Chris felt was a sigh, the robbers were criminals, and the lord did not exterminate them, but colluded with them to seize the position, this kind of thing is extremely rare, everything is involved, and in the end it will not end well.

"He's got power, and a bad reputation is nothing. Leon saw through Fury's thoughts, the Northwest is not the center of power, nor is it an important strategic place, and no one in the kingdom will pay attention to it.

Fury relied on collusion with robbers to gain status, this kind of thing will only spread in the neighborhood, and it will not reach the ears of the king at all, without concerns, Fury will naturally not give up this helper.

"What about the guardian of the Western Realm, won't he care?" Chris was very worried, if this was the case, then the Northwest Region would probably become more and more chaotic in the future. Those people do everything for the sake of power.

"According to the information I received, the lord only had one son of Fury before, and the other daughter was married, and now that Fury is in power, the baby should not live, so the lord is only left with Fury's heir, and the guardian of the western realm will definitely suppress this matter in order to avoid trouble. Leon slowly explained that Fury had become the new lord.

"Why would the Westward Guardian do this?" Chris couldn't figure out, as the guardian of one side, he had to not only protect the safety of the other, but also maintain the enforcement of the law. Shouldn't Fury's actions be punished?

"If the lord has other heirs, the guardian of the western realm may intervene, but not now, the reasons are complicated, and it is normal for you not to understand. Leon patiently explained that it was all the truth.

Fury's territory is inconspicuous, and what happens on weekdays will not let the Western Guardian pay attention, this time Fury's sudden action has allowed him to maintain an absolute advantage, and the Western Guardian has no other way than to scold the last two sentences.

Once Fury is disposed of, then there will be no lord in the territory, and it will be reported to the king to re-plan this place, and before that, the task of governance will be handed over to the guardian of the western realm, which of the high nobles is willing to take care of this place.

Chris was discouraged, and the princes said so, and that's how it was.
