Chapter 145: Thoughts

The white wolf disappeared without a trace, and the day's search was fruitless, and when everyone returned to the town, Leon announced that he had stationed men in several important places, and the random search was meaningless and would cause panic. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The rush made him sore, and when he came out of the hot bath, he saw Riley, who was waiting downstairs.

"Your Highness, is this trip going well?" Riley saw that the prince's face was a little worse than usual, and he couldn't help but worry about whether there was an accident on the way.

"Let's go, go to the administrative hall and I'll tell you about it. As soon as Leon returned to the castle, he went out to look for the white wolf, and some of the things he encountered during his trip needed to be recorded, and this experience could also be used as a story to tell her, which could be regarded as an increase in her understanding of the surrounding environment.

Chris is still busy in the executive hall, because the prince is out, and he is in charge of everything in the town, and it is not over until it gets dark every day.

"When I was exploring the road, I encountered rumored bandits, and it seems that the situation is quite bad, and they must be dealt with first in the future to open up the land route. "Leon opened the parchment scroll, and there was no need to mention the process of distributing food, but mainly about the things related to the town.

"Robbers, Your Highness, are you not injured?" Riley saw the prince's expression, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled, the robbers are all fierce people, and this time they went to explore the road and there were not enough guards to protect them, although they were able to come back safely, they must have suffered a little.

"When you are exploring the path, you should prepare in advance, and you will become an ordinary townsman, but you will meet you on the way. "Lyon had nothing to lose, and the robbers tried to rob the horses, but they were disagreed with by several men.

The robbers are in a hurry, so the robbed ones are not so lucky.

"Your Highness, with our current strength, it is not realistic to attack the bandits. Chris said on the side, the town only had patrols and archers, and the total number was less than fifty, and it was a bit difficult to attack the robbers on horseback.

"When we expand our forces, I will consult with several lords around me and ask everyone to send troops together to exterminate the bandits. "Leon didn't think about doing it alone, the robbers mainly threatened the interests of the other lords, as long as Ravenwood played a central role in it, bringing everyone together, the bandits of just a hundred people would soon be exterminated.

"Why don't you go and talk to each other now? I heard that they wanted to unite to suppress the bandits many years ago, and then they disbanded for some reason, and now it will definitely take a lot of time and energy to bring them together again. Riley had a question, Ravenwood had not been threatened by bandits, but the news of the previous bandits had spread through the movement of the townsfolk between the two places.

"Because there is a war between Neighboring Water City and Nolan Town, and the lord's son wants to seize power, it is not the time to talk about it yet, and it will only be done after the lord has quelled the rebellion and the surrounding situation has stabilized. Leon had thought about it, the situation in the city was unstable, and the center of gravity was on the stability of power, and there was no time to pay attention to the problem of robbers.

"Rebellion, will the town suffer as well?" Riley's face changed, war was terrible, and from the old man's story, he knew that war would destroy all good things, and people would be homeless and homeless.

"I have confirmed this matter, they are just an internal rebellion, a war for the position of a lord, I believe that in about five days, this rebellion will be over. Leon got the news from the words of the two soldiers, so the townspeople of Ravenwood didn't need to worry about being affected by the fighting.

"Five days, so soon?" Riley glanced at the prince, for all the wars in history took months or even years to end.

"That's how it should be. "Lyon has a lot of confidence.

In the backward northwest region here, most of the towns do not even have city walls, and the number of troops defending them is even smaller.

According to estimates, the city near the water, where the lord is located, has a standing strength of about 300 people, and the militia formed temporarily does not exceed 400 people at most.

And the strength of Nolan Town itself is poor, even if the plan was implemented many years ago, in order to avoid the suspicion of the lord, Nolan's strength will not exceed two hundred, this is already a soldier put together by Donglaxi, among which there are two deserters like Guding Town, which is almost useless.

Under such a disparity in strength, it is almost impossible for the rebellion in Nolan Town to succeed, and the distance between the two places is only a day's journey, so everyone has no way to retreat but to fight to the death, so if you calculate it, five days is enough time for the lord to recover Nolan Town.

"That's fine, the sooner it ends, the less people will be affected. Riley nodded, hoping that what the prince said would come true soon, she knew that the war consumed not only soldiers, but also food and other materials would be looted from the townspeople, and now that the weather was bitterly cold, life was already sad, and it would not be good for everyone if the war continued.

"Your Highness, can we send troops to help the lord at this time, as long as we help him quell the rebellion, it may be easier to talk about suppressing bandits at that time. Chris put down the quill in his hand and said. Ravenwood's troops were insufficient, but the prince analyzed that this was a must-win war, and it was not difficult to send more than 20 men to help, which was a small favor that would be of great benefit to future anti-bandit operations.

"No, this is an internal rebellion, and we can't interfere without permission, otherwise it will be bad to cause a misunderstanding. Lyon did not agree to this, according to the long-standing rule, internal rebellions should be resolved internally, and outsiders could not interfere.

If outsiders can intervene, then both sides will look for helpers, and then a small war will cause a ripple effect, which was originally just a duel between two towns, and will eventually evolve into a city-to-city, or even a domestic chaos.

This time, the rebellion in Nolan Town will attract the attention of the Westside Guardian, as long as something out of the ordinary happens, the Westside Guardian will take action to solve it, and sending troops by himself will only cause unnecessary trouble.

"I see. Chris had never heard of such a rule, and it seemed that not everyone knew the rules and regulations between the nobles.

"So what can we do?" Riley remembered the innocent townspeople, who couldn't send troops to help them end the war quickly, but there was always something to be done.

"Strengthen your own strength, and there is no one who can really help them from now on. Leon straightened up, it was not his turn to take action in other people's territory, and he was not allowed to do it himself, and he wanted to help them unless he was strong.

"Strengthen yourself?" Riley wondered, did this have anything to do with helping others?

"Internal rebellions are caused by personal interests, and I can't avoid it, but we can go out to fight the bandits, both to help ourselves and to help others. Secondly, the economy is strong, and it will not be difficult to transport grain many times. "Lyon wants to be strong on two fronts. With strong strength, you can protect your own safety and have the spare strength to help others.
