Chapter 225: Rumors
Just as Leo was leading the Goblin Legion to conquer the Warcraft Jungle, at the request of the Emperor, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Count Justin Spencer, quietly left the imperial capital and went to the Kingdom of Lorraine to negotiate an alliance with King Fairman.

For his task this time, Justin's heart is very relaxed, and there is no difficulty for him at all. Justin's ascension to the position of Imperial Foreign Minister as a mere earl was his keen observation and foresight, which made him invincible in the struggles of all times, and often able to sit back and reap the odds.
This time the alliance mission to the Kingdom of Lorraine is the same, the Kingdom of Lorraine is facing the pressure of the Paris Empire's army, and it is in danger of capsizing at any time, at this time, the Varu Empire is willing to lend a hand regardless of the previous suspicions, which is a life-saving straw for the Kingdom of Lorraine, and there is no possibility of refusing at all.
The most critical and dangerous part of the plan proposed by Duke Solo is how Marquis Leo can pry the corners of the Lorraine Kingdom in the chaos of war to seek the best interests for the Valu Empire, if it is not handled properly, it may offend both the Lorraine Kingdom and the Paris Empire, and these are none of Earl Justin's business, he has already made up his mind to leave Lorraine immediately after signing the alliance agreement, so as not to involve himself as well.
On the way to the kingdom of Lorraine, the panicked farmers and villagers along the way were talking about the Goblins' annexation to the Empire and the huge Goblin Legion everywhere they went. When Justin checked into the hotel through Lyne City, he asked the innkeeper about it.
"Haha, this guest, you went out late and missed the wonderful scene!" When the innkeeper heard that he was asking about this, he laughed and said to Justin, "The guest must have heard about the Emperor himself last month to allow the Goblins in the Northern Frontier to join the Empire, right?"
"Yes, I know about this, and it has caused a very heated debate in the Imperial Capital, and many people, including the Imperial military, are against the admission of the Goblins. Justin nodded.
"After this, not long after, just a few days ago, you don't know!" The innkeeper may have been accustomed to telling stories to his guests, so he deliberately paused and sold a pass, and only continued under the urging of Justin's eager eyes: "I heard that a few days ago, the farmer who was working in the farm outside the city suddenly noticed a lot of green-skinned little monsters jumping out of the woods, and those little monsters were as short as half-grown children, and they were green all over their bodies, and there were not a few hairs on their heads. They lined up, covered in dried flesh and skin, and held a spear in their hands. That's all it takes, and it may not be able to scare those bold countrymen, but the rest is a big deal!"
"Hey, boss, why are you talking in half and half in part, hurry up, what's going on?" Justin hadn't urged yet, but the person listening to the innkeeper's story next to him was in a hurry.
"Okay, good!" The innkeeper raised his hand and pressed it lightly, signaling everyone to be calm: "Who knows, the number of those little monsters is terrifying, I heard that there are tens of thousands!"
When the innkeeper said this, some people didn't believe it: "Hey, boss, you are a liar, how can there be tens of thousands of goblins in an important town in the hinterland of the empire like Ryan City, could it be that those goblins have come to us from all the way from the north of Xinjiang when they have nothing to do?"
Seeing that someone actually refuted his words, as if his gossip authority had been challenged, the innkeeper didn't care about selling it, and hurriedly defended: "How is it impossible? Let me tell you, don't talk about our Rion City, even the Grizzly Legion of the three southern provinces have issued a notice of peace, saying that it is the Goblin Legion of the Marquis of Leo in the Northern Frontier, and it will transit from our Lion City to the south, so that the residents along the way do not have to panic when they see it, those goblin soldiers will abide by the imperial regulations and the military regulations of the Marquis of Leo, and will not harass the residents of the Empire. ”
"Hey! Even the Grizzly Legion has issued a notice to settle the people, so it seems that this matter is true!" Earl Justin secretly wondered in his heart, no wonder Marquis Leo swore in the main hall that he would boast that he didn't need to send a single soldier from the Imperial Military Department, it turned out that this was the idea, using the Goblin clan to go to the Kingdom of Lorraine, even if there was an accident on the trip to the Kingdom of Lorraine, there would be no loss of personnel for the Empire, it was really wonderful!
However, Justin was shocked to think in an instant, Marquis Leo led 10,000 goblin legion soldiers, and the marching speed would be faster than that of the lightly armed Jane Congde, which seemed to be worthy of his reputation, not to mention those outcasts and reckless men, even the goblins could be trained so orderly, and the ability to lead troops was really as clever as the legend.
Leo, who was already in the jungle of Warcraft, didn't expect that the rumors in the market had gained him another fan, and Foreign Minister Justin felt that he was really beginning to admire this self-made Marquis Leo who had climbed to a high position.
However, the Earl of Justin couldn't help but secretly worry for the Marquis of Leo while admiring him, his marching speed was too fast, and he couldn't reach the Kingdom of Lorraine before him. Once the Marquis of Leo entered the territory of the Kingdom of Lorraine before he signed the alliance agreement, it would be an act of aggression by the Kingdom of Lorraine, and at this critical juncture, the nerves of the Lorraine Kingdom must be tense.
Thinking of this, Earl Justin complained a little in his heart about the Marquis of Leo, why didn't he get in touch with him first and communicate before going? The rumored Marquis Leo was not such a reckless and impulsive person, could the rumors be wrong? Or did the Marquis of Leo have other plans? Justin, who had a lot of worries in his heart, found that the trip to the alliance that he thought was nine out of ten was actually made very passive by Leo.
Alas, Justin could only hurry up and rest, and left the hotel before dawn the next day, and hurried in the direction of the Kingdom of Lorraine, on the back of a bumpy horse, Justin kept praying to the goddess of harvest that he believed in that he would not let Leo enter the Kingdom of Lorraine in advance and spoil his own affairs.
Of course, our Marquis Leo is certainly not as stupid as Count Justin fears, and he is still in the Warcraft Jungle preparing to command the Goblin Legion to encircle and suppress the Wind Demon Wolves!
