The next day, Leo found that wherever he went, the nobles looked at him a little strangely, as if something was wrong, but since Leo was not familiar with them, it was not easy to ask rashly, so he could only bury this surprise in his heart. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Young Master, Archduke William's people seemed to be very active last night, constantly contacting those nobles' subordinates, probably spreading some rumors that are not favorable to us!" Sean whispered to Leo about the events of last night, and of course all the changes in the castle could not escape the eyes of this butler.

"I knew that this William would definitely not give up, maybe he was holding back something bad!" Leo was not surprised. "Looks like we're going to have to talk to him!"

The cocktail party is an indispensable activity in the life of the nobles, and it is also the best way for the nobles to spend time, hunt for beauty, and spread gossip news, so it is deeply loved by the nobles. As the owner of the castle, Leo also had to hold a drinking party to entertain the nobles who had traveled thousands of miles to support him, even if they were of little use.

The castle inherited from the old aristocratic Cullen family, naturally there is a banquet hall dedicated to this kind of aristocratic activities, the maids send all kinds of food and wine for the guests to enjoy, and the butler Sean constantly greets the nobles who come and go, and greets them very warmly, it seems that Sean, the butler, is far more popular than Leo the host.

Seeing these smiling and masked people getting together to compliment each other, Leo felt uncomfortable, and now that Sean had come forward for him, it would be the best. With no one paying attention, Leo quietly hid in a corner of the banquet hall and grabbed some pastries to enjoy them.

"It seems that our master is not so enthusiastic, and I don't know if I think Baron Leo doesn't welcome us!" At some point, Archduke William stood behind Leo with a wine glass.

"Uh~" Leo, who was frightened by Archduke William's sudden voice, quickly picked up the cup and poured two sips before rushing down the pastry choked in his throat, and after a long sigh of relief, Leo glanced at Archduke William with slanted eyes.

"It seems that the honorable Archduke William seems to pay special attention to me, a little baron, and it is a great honor!" Leo replied in a strange manner, and his words did not mean the slightest sense of honor.

"Of course, who can defeat my father, why don't I pay attention?" said Archduke William's face suddenly darkened.

Patting his hand stained with pastry crumbs, Leo picked up a handkerchief and wiped the corner of his mouth, seemingly unconcerned about Archduke William's threat.

Looking at Leo's indifferent attitude, Archduke William's face changed again, and the corners of his mouth barely pulled out a smile: "Being able to fight indomitable and heroic in the wolf cavalry army, and being able to completely annihilate the enemy army, such a record makes everyone curious about Baron Leo, if you have the opportunity, you have to ask Baron Leo for more advice!"

"There's nothing to say, it's all up to the desperate fighting of his soldiers, and I, the lord, were captured alive by the wolf cavalry in the end, if it weren't for Master Feng's desperate rescue, I'm afraid I, the baron, would have died a long time ago!" Leo replied very stiffly, obviously unwilling to continue the topic.

How could Archduke William let him go so easily: "Then I don't know how many soldiers there are under Baron Leo? To be able to defeat a wolf cavalry legion of such a scale, there must be a lot of people! And in such a situation of great disparity in the strength of the enemy and us, these soldiers must also be well-trained, I wonder what Baron Leo has the knack for training soldiers?"

Archduke William asked one question after another that Leo could not answer, and a lie that he had barely made up would be exposed immediately. Simply, Leo didn't speak, just stared coldly at Archduke William to see what he wanted to do.

Leo's attitude did not surprise Archduke William, and he whispered to Leo's side nearby: "My people have found a set of cavalry equipment near the castle, strong cavalry bows, delicate scimitars, and luxurious armor, these are probably not the equipment that a baron's soldiers should have?

As soon as Archduke William's words came out, Leo's mind flashed like a flash of lightning in the darkness, and he suddenly realized that he had thought about it, and Archduke William did not know about the existence of the Goblin Fortress, but only found some equipment for the Mongolian light cavalry.

That's right, the Mongolian light cavalry and Cossack cavalry were surrounded and annihilated by the wolf cavalry that day, and the corpses were devoured by wolves, and the equipment was scattered in the open space outside the castle, and it is not surprising that it was occasionally picked up.

"I don't know what Baron Leo thinks of the current situation of the Varu Empire? The battle for the throne between the empress and the crown prince has brought great harm to the entire empire, and those decadent and corrupt nobles probably won't pay attention to these at all! It seems that only Baron Leo can take precautions!" Seeing that Leo was speechless, Archduke William whispered again.

And Leo's thoughts flashed like lightning at this moment, it seems that this Archduke William thinks that I am planning to support the army and self-respect like him, and even raise troops to stand on my own, so he will put down all his hatred, and talk to himself in such a low posture, is he planning to pull an ally?

Regarding this idea of Archduke William, Leo said in his heart: Don't be naïve boy!

Leo himself deserves to be a good fief baron, why should he take a huge risk to rebel? Not to mention that Crown Prince Raymond is still his friend who shares life and death, where can he make his own people to rebel?

The most important thing is that Leo himself knows that his Arena of the Gods can only summon a small group of legionnaires at a time, and now he does not have the ability to fight a large army at all, and it is okay to fight the invading orcs, but it is still far from confronting an empire.

Even Archduke Wagner and Archduke Wilhelm dared to raise troops by virtue of the three richest provinces in the south, and it would be just a fool's dream if a small baron like Leo dared to use his arms as a chariot.

Leo was very self-aware, and naturally he would not be led away by Archduke William's words, so he immediately said to Archduke William with a full expression: "Your Excellency is really fond of joking, how can such a military matter be discussed by a small low-ranking nobleman like me?" )
