"Leo, I knew you would come to the South!" said Archduke Wilhelm, laughing and greeting Leo as he came to the South, and hugging him warmly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"No way, I don't have anywhere to go if I don't come to the South. I can only come to the south first and see if you can take me in. Leo shrugged his shoulders and said self-deprecatingly.

Archduke William waved his hand disdainfully to the north: "That stupid Gavin XIII really has no vision to do such a disgusting thing. Don't worry, no matter how long his hand is, it won't reach out to us in the south, so you can stay here with confidence. ”

With that, Archduke William pulled Leo to the group of people he had brought. The attendants were obviously surrounded by an old man with a bright expression, and as soon as Leo saw this old man, he bowed down and greeted him with some prestige on his face, and said, "Again...... See you again, honorable Grand Duke Wagner, Leo salutes you!"

This old man was obviously the Archduke Wagner, who had been captured by Leo with a sea of people, and was imprisoned by Gavin XII for nearly a year, until Gavin XII died, William surrendered to Leo, and Gavin XIII pardoned him in order to stabilize the throne and win people's hearts, and Wagner was able to return to the south.

"Hmph, boy, now that you are a traitor yourself, I will ask you for advice on your strength when I have time. Grand Duke Wagner replied stiffly, while his gaze looked past Leo to Feng Xifan behind him.

There is no need to look back, Leo also knows that Feng Xifan behind him is already full of fighting spirit. In the previous battles, Feng Xifan had been suppressed by the Grand Duke of Wagner, and with the cooperation of the soldiers of the beggar army regardless of life and death, he captured the Grand Duke of Wagner, which made Feng Xifan always linger. Now that the two met again, they were both dissatisfied with the results of the previous battle, so for a while, both of them couldn't control their fighting spirit.

Leo was sandwiched between the two, and could only cough awkwardly twice, deliberately interrupting the competition between the two, and still thinking in his heart: These two old men are more than 100 years old, why are they still so stubborn, and they are about to touch like a cannonball.

Leo's coughing sound immediately alerted Grand Duke Wagner, and he also cleared his throat as if he had to hide it, and said, "Marquis Leo, you must have had a hard journey. William, arrange a place to stay first, ask the Marquis of Leo to rest, and prepare a welcome banquet for the Marquis of Leo at the Grand Duke's Mansion in the evening. ”

Grand Duke Wagner's gaze glanced behind Leo and continued, "Please go with the Marquis Leo's right-hand men, and take this opportunity to experience the hospitality of our southerners." ”

Hearing something in the words of Grand Duke Wagner, obviously wanting to take advantage of the banquet in the evening to compete with Feng Xifan, Leo couldn't help but smile bitterly on his face, this Grand Duke of Wagner really holds a grudge.

William naturally heard the meaning of his father's words, and wanted to stop it, but his father's order made him unable to disobey it, so he had to take Leo to the guest room to rest in embarrassment, and at the same time ordered someone to arrange the food, clothing, and accommodation of Leo's subordinates.

The welcome banquet held for Leo in the evening was actually just a family banquet, after all, Leo was now a wanted person by the Empire, and if Leo was introduced to Leo by holding a banquet in a grand manner, it would be tantamount to openly slapping Gavin XIII in the face, and there would be a lot of trouble at that time.

After a dinner, the martial and unwilling Grand Duke Wagner found an excuse to take Feng Xifan out to compete, leaving William to look at the left and right mysteriously, and said to Leo: "Leo, do you have any plans for the future?"

Leo raised his eyebrows: "Listen to this...... Do you have any good suggestions?"

William deliberately lost Leo's appetite and smiled, "I heard that King Fairman's body is getting weaker and weaker, and according to the doctor, he may not survive for a few days." ”

Hearing this news, Leo's eyes couldn't help but turn a few times, but he didn't expect to hear a piece of news that was quite favorable to him as soon as he came to the south.

"Alas, poor King Fairman. What do you mean, ......?" asked Leo, pretending not to understand.

William cautiously looked around for another before whispering to Leo, "This was my father's idea. What you need most now is a foothold, and the most suitable for you is the Kingdom of Lorraine. Don't look at the Paris Empire occupying such a large piece of kingdom land, but the three major knights were disabled by you, they simply have no spare ability to hold such a large piece of land, plus King Fairman died, you only need to stand up and declare that you will lead those Lorraine people back to their homeland, and you will definitely gain the hearts of those people. ”

"But...... Don't forget, even if King Fairman dies, he still has two twin princes as heirs!" Leo didn't expect Archduke Wagner's thoughts to coincide with Ney's. Ney is the marshal of the French Empire, and it is not surprising that Rong Ma has experienced a hundred battles in his life, so it is not surprising that he has such a vision, but the Grand Duke of Wagner seems to be a military idiot, and he can't imagine that his strategic vision is not low.

"Those two princes are not simple, they only need to ......" William lowered his voice again, "Any accident can kill two unsuspecting mages......"

With a twinkle in his eyes, William's words surprised Leo a little. His previous plan was to use his own strength to overthrow the Lorraine royal family, push the Lorraine royal family to the front as a puppet, and hide behind him to substantially control the Lorraine Kingdom, but he didn't expect William to be even more ruthless and directly cut off the bloodline of the Lorraine royal family.

This is also the difference in philosophy caused by the different education of the two people. Leo was born and grew up in New China under the red flag since he was a child, and received the education of the rabbit family, and usually took the gentleman's gentleness as the standard of jade. And William has accepted the concept of the Wagner family since he was a child, in this Alpha continent where the law of the jungle eats the strong, pure kindness will not live long, and he must learn to fight for himself, even if the means are slightly unsightly, for himself and his family.

In William's triumphant eyes, Leo crossed his hands and stirred, his heart was also at war over these two ideas and results. In his mind, he recalled the trusting and adoring eyes of Pique and Nick, and the two figures firmly under the Senta level, Leo couldn't bear to hurt them.

"Don't you forget, Leo, that's how you brought Raymond to the South more than a year ago, and what happened? Raymond ascended to the throne, and you had to flee. There is already a lesson from the past, and there is a limit to your kindness!" William seemed to be well aware of the entanglement in Leo's heart, and slowly reminded Leo word by word.
