Chapter 306: Return to Lorraine

"Your Majesty, the Goblin Clan has not been attached for a long time, and if you rashly attack them, I am afraid that the Empire will be suspicious of intolerability. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Moreover, even if the elite of the Badwolf Legion comes out, it may not be able to completely wipe out the goblins, the environment of the Badlands Wasteland is extremely harsh, and there are few creatures that can survive there except for the goblins, and the goblins only need to retreat to the Badlands Wasteland to avoid the Arrows of the Wolves. As soon as our troops withdraw, they can continue to wreak havoc and harass the northern Xinjiang, which will bring disaster to the people of northern Xinjiang at that time. Duke Solo persuaded bitterly.

Even if he was extremely dissatisfied with Duke Solo, at least Gavin XIII understood these truths, since the founding of the Varu Empire, the Goblin Plague has been a difficult problem in the northern frontier, except for Leo, countless amazing people in the empire for hundreds of years have not been able to solve it. Now that the goblins have finally been annexed, the orc empire in the far north has no possibility of crossing the badlands and wastelands again, and the people of northern Xinjiang are finally living a stable life, and Gavin XIII also knows that there must be no more turmoil.

But just letting those goblins go like this, Gavin XIII was unwilling, especially when he preached Duke Solo, he felt as uncomfortable as eating flies. Gently patting the armrest on the throne, Gavin XIII muttered for a moment and said, "Since Duke Solo is so knowledgeable and attentive to the affairs of Northern Xinjiang, then please trouble Duke Solo to deal with the problems of Northern Xinjiang." Leo's remnants are cleared, the fief is recovered, and the Goblin Clan's movements need to be paid more attention to, if the Goblin Clan is really rebellious, be sure to mobilize the Blue Wolf Legion to completely exterminate it. ”

As soon as His Majesty the Emperor's words came out, the faces of the ministers in the main hall bloomed like a dye shop. The old courtiers of the former royalist party were all dusty, and they all knew that His Majesty the Emperor was taking the opportunity to kick Duke Solo out of the imperial capital. This means that His Majesty the Emperor has begun to gradually stop trusting and relying on the old courtiers, and I am afraid that he will gradually start to seize power in the future and clear out the old people of the previous emperor's generation.

The nobles, led by the Duke of Rawls, were the best at flattery, and were most trusted by Gavin XIII, and His Majesty the Emperor began to attack the old courtiers, which meant that there were many vacancies for the positions of high power, and these nobles were smiling and thinking about what they could get from it.

And the military people who have never participated in the discussion of politics are a sympathetic look of pity for the dead fox, and courtiers like Duke Solo who are loyal to the country have been suspicious, and the emperor in front of him is far less virtuous than imagined, but it is a pity that he is already the only heir of the Gavin family, unless it is a rebellion, there is nothing to do about Gavin XIII.

After hearing His Majesty's order, Duke Solo's thin and straight body suddenly loosened his waist, and he never imagined that His Majesty the Emperor was so suspicious of him, and even desperate to put himself out of the imperial capital. Losing the trust of His Majesty the Emperor, Duke Solo, who had been loyal to the Varu Empire for half his life and spent his youth and all his efforts in the empire, could hardly withstand such a blow.

When Duke Solo, who had always been in high spirits, raised his head to receive the order, the wrinkles on his face, his gray complexion, and his gloomy eyes suddenly made him almost seem to be a different person, as if the whole person revealed a faint death.

Gavin XIII saw Duke Solo like this, and felt a little unbearable, but this little bit of guilt could not bear to be thrown out of the clouds by him in an instant, without the constraints of Duke Solo, Gavin XIII was able to control the affairs of the empire more freely. Without those old ministers who relied on the old and sold the old, Varu really belonged to his own empire.

It wasn't until a few days later that the changes in the high-level of the Varu Empire reached the south, and Leo couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion when he heard the news. Once again, he had a new understanding of Gavin XIII's injustice, and even these old courtiers who supported him on the throne were willing to do it, and they were really ruthless. However, Leo didn't care about any of this, and with the arrival of the Goblin Legion led by Carasieu, he was fully prepared to head south.

Without Viscount Colin Covenas, without the fief, Uncle Potter's betrayal, and with Winnie, all of this made Leo die for the Varu Empire, and there was nothing to worry about here......

On a breezy morning, after saying goodbye to William and others, Leo led his soldiers and rode Mongolian horses across the Senta checkpoint into Lorraine. King Pique, on the other hand, led all the gathered Lorraine people to delay their return journey one day, after all, the preparation of the people and mages was much more cumbersome and messy than that of the soldiers, and even with the help of Ney and the Praetorian Guard, it was quite a difficult task.

Everything was as Leo expected, after the loss of the three major knights, the military strength of the Paris Empire was already strong in the outside. The Senta Level, which is the throat of the border, is not guarded at all, and the dust on the ground has accumulated a thick layer, which means that the power of the Paris Empire cannot extend here at all.

After stepping through the Senta level, Leo ordered Olix to lead the Roman infantry to garrison the area, ready to meet the large army of the Lorraine royal family and its people. Now that Leo has gathered elites, the initial Roman infantry has gradually lost its lustre, and can only be used as auxiliary troops such as security and garrisoning.

Moreover, Leo also has a big killing weapon in his hand, that is, the complete formed legion rewarded by the Arena of the Gods after completing the mission. However, Leo does not plan to summon it immediately for the time being, he wants to leave it until after the establishment of his principality, and he will definitely leave a deep impression on everyone as a killer weapon to deter neighboring countries.

Since stepping into the border of Lorraine, all the way to the south, the villages and towns passed by are already deserted, the fields that were originally the harvest season are overgrown with weeds, the low-hanging golden ears of wheat are almost covered by weeds, there are almost no people on the road, I don't know whether to hide or withdraw with the royal family of Lorraine.

Leo didn't allow the goblin soldiers to eat those crops, anyway, there were plenty of jungles in the south, and there were all kinds of prey in them, enough to satisfy the appetites of those goblin soldiers. As for the crops, I will leave them to the people of Lorraine, perhaps this is the key to whether they can survive this winter.

It wasn't until we got closer to the city of Linz that the crowds began to thicken, the nearby villages began to smoke, and farmers could occasionally be seen harvesting crops in the fields. When they saw Leo's army, the farmers in the fields looked at them stupidly, and after a while they came to their senses, and as they ran into the village, they shouted in a crying voice: "It's back, it's back, it's back!"

Seeing the appearance of those farmers, the corners of Leo's mouth lifted slightly. Even if the royal family of Lorraine is in exile in another country, even if it is ruled by the enemy, these loyal and simple people still hope that the royal family of Lorraine will one day return to them. Now that the green-skinned goblin soldiers who had protected the royal family of Lorraine have returned, the farmers are overjoyed by this momentary surprise.

Whenever Leo's army passed through a village or town, almost all the villagers ran out to cheer for them, and many of them took out the few leftovers of their homes, eggs, and other items, and enthusiastically delivered them to Leo's soldiers. Wei soldiers, Mongolian cavalry, and other legionnaires naturally would not accept it, but the goblin soldiers of Karaxiu did not refuse, and they didn't even understand what was wrong with these humans, how could they take the initiative to stuff themselves with so much delicious food.

Almost every time they pass through a village or town, the goblin soldiers will have a lot of bits and pieces of food on their bodies, and the variety of human foods with different flavors makes these goblin soldiers fall in love with this place, and this is a paradise place. They are even more fond of the Goblin King Caraxiu and their master, Leo, and will enjoy delicious food that they never dreamed of.

Inevitably, there are some scum in these towns who have defected to the Paris Empire. After all, the Paris Empire used to be a super-large empire covering the entire human world, and the territory of Lorraine was once a province of the Paris Empire, and now the Paris Empire has risen strongly, and the magician group has been completely wiped out, and even the royal family of Lorraine has been forced into exile in Valu. Some people who are not so loyal to the royal family of Lorraine or some people who are more flexible are vying to throw themselves into the Paris Empire, wanting to take advantage of the lack of manpower in the Paris Empire in Lorraine, and strive to get a half-official position, maybe they can rise to the top.

Leo's legionnaires weren't very numerous, and the Belters didn't think they could make a splash, but the Legion of the Goblins, which followed, made the Beltmen look horrified.

There is a saying in ancient China that people are all over the mountains and wilderness, and people are boundless and boundless. Tens of thousands of goblin soldiers, the green skin almost completely covered the earth, and the overwhelming momentum made the feet of those with weak hearts tremble, not to mention what resistance the guards did to the village, they were bold enough to pull out their legs and turn around and escape.

But they couldn't escape at all, and the royal griffons in the sky pinned them all to the ground with a few dives. After all, they are residents of the Magic Kingdom, even if they have no magical talent, but they still have some understanding of the physiognomy of various magical beasts, and seeing the appearance of the griffin, those leading the way party have basically lost hope of escaping, and they are honestly lying on the ground motionless, for fear of attracting the attention of the griffin and feeding themselves.

Several of the leading party who had defected to Paris were escorted to Leo, and before Leo could interrogate them, several of them scrambled to confess everything they knew.

"Your Excellency, the garrison of Linz City is only three hundred ordinary Paris soldiers, and they don't have enough people to defend Linz City, so they won't disperse and manage the surrounding towns, so they recruited us people to help them take care of the town. With the strength of your command, those Parisians are no match for you at all. With a flattering voice and a courteous smile, a man as fat as a pig rubbed his hands together and explained to Leo.

"Do you want to explain so happily! You guys are like this, I don't have a sense of accomplishment!" Leo, who originally wanted to force a confession, was directly depressed, these guys are so shameless, and the rhythm of selling wherever he is going to make him extremely uncomfortable.

"Of course, we have to make it clear, in fact, we have always been interested in Lorraine. It's just that if those Parisians can't collect supplies from the towns, they may be ruthless against the civilians, so we sacrifice ourselves to protect our people. Your Excellency must be aware of it!"

Leo rolled his eyes, half-believing these people's words, and always felt a little unsure about the information that came by too easily. However, Leo himself also knew that although Linz City was regarded as an important northern town in the Kingdom of Lorraine, with the current strength of the Parisians, I am afraid that there may not be many people stationed there, and it should not be difficult to attack the city.

To be on the safe side, Leo stepped on the royal griffin and went to reconnoiter over Linz in person, accompanied by Feng Xifan.

Just as Leo entered the territory of Lorraine, in Paris City, the capital of the Paris Empire, the Emperor of the Imperial Emperor was standing in front of a huge topographic map of mountains and rivers for a long time, and asked leisurely after a long time: "Captain Karl, how is the reorganization of your Thunder Legion?"

Karl, the former legion leader of the Wind Knights, replied respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty, the Thunder Legion has been reorganized, and although the training is still a little lacking, it should be fine. ”

"Okay! That's good, whether you can dispel the return attempt of the Lorraine royal family this time, and whether you can avert the shame of the three major knights, it's all up to you. Although he said words of encouragement, Emperor Paris did not look back, and did not even look at Karl.

Legion Leader Karl didn't dare to have any dissatisfaction at all, he straightened his chest and said: "I must live up to Your Majesty's trust, this time I will completely defeat that Marquis of Leo, and let the entire continent know the prestige of the Thunder Knights!"

"Hmm...... Not only that, but you have an important mission to go to Lorraine this time, in addition to defeating Leo. The emperor's words made Carl stunned, isn't it even an important task to defeat Leo?

As if knowing Karl's doubts, Emperor Paris then said, "You have another task...... Look for Sidney's trail and confirm her death!"

"What if...... What if Captain Sidney hadn't died? After all, she should have been captured. Karl asked, confused.

"I've got it!'s death is confirmed!" Emperor Paris's tone suddenly became stern, and the imperial majesty revealed by his tall figure made Karl feel incomprehensible. The Emperor's meaning is already obvious, he has announced Sidney's death, then Sidney must die.
