But as a baron lord, the warriors he can recruit have reached the full value, and the laws of the kingdom should stipulate this, if he really expands the army of two thousand or three thousand, I am afraid that before the elves come, the king [***] will come to Xingshi first to ask for guilt.

And if it is a viscounty, Leon can justifiably expand the thunder beast camp to three thousand, and if it is a county, it is ten thousand private troops!

In fact, in the entire Beamon Kingdom, there are almost no counts who can support 10,000 private troops, but Leon has enough confidence, not to mention that he can cultivate beast soul warriors without going through the temple, and even has a sacred teleportation array.

"You want to fight back to the Whooring Forest!"

Hearing Leon's revealed ambition, High Priest Faens couldn't help but be moved.

If such words fall into the ears of others, the other party may laugh out of their big teeth, and it is completely beyond their means!, but the High Priest of Faens watched Leon and Salling grow rapidly, and the speed of progress and development far exceeded the normal range.

If he could be given enough opportunities and space, how far would he go?

In the beginning, he gave Leon help solely because Leon was a "Blessed Samurai" who caused miracles, and for the sake of the temple's interests, it was impossible for him to let a blessed samurai out of the temple's camp.

After arriving in Ugru from Tormund to Ugrous, the High Priest of Faens paid much less attention to Leon, although from time to time he received news from Tomund that it was enough to make sure that Leon did not turn away from the temple.

But the current high priest found that he paid too little attention to Leon, and before he knew it, Leon had grown to the point where he was now, and he was becoming more and more like a blessed warrior.

The future is limitless, and there is great ambition!, the High Priest vaguely saw a figure flash on Leon's body.

"If you don't go through the test of the battlefield, you can't train real warriors, and I also hope to temper my warriors through war!" Leon said in a deep voice: "I think barbarians are a good choice!"

"If the lords of the kingdom could be like you, we Beamon would not have been forced to this point by the elves and the human race!" said with emotion, "Leon, what kind of help do you want from me?"

It's not easy! Leon said for a long time, exactly what he wanted from the other party.

"Lord Faennes, please forgive me for being direct, I first want to be able to understand the situation in the north and the situation of the expeditionary force, I am leading people to fight, not to send them to death. ”

Knowing that he was invincible, although on the way to Ugru, Leon tried his best to inquire about the situation in the north, but even the Count of Octavia did not know the whole situation, and how much information could he get.

It would be irresponsible to himself to go into battle with a black eye, so Leon wanted to inquire about information from the temple, which was undoubtedly very important for the future actions of the Reading Brigade in the war.

Secondly, Leon hopes to be able to purchase a batch of healing and buff Divine Aura Talismans from the Temple.

Divine aura runes are the same as magic scrolls, because the materials are expensive and not easy to make, so good and high-grade runes are difficult to buy even if you have money, and they are basically controlled in the hands of the temple.

Although the temple had a supply for the army in this regard, it was almost impossible to distribute the precious talismans with the qualifications of the local army of the Reading Power Army, so Leon simply wanted to buy a batch at his own expense.

A Healing Aura Talisman can save a Warrior's life at a critical moment, and if each Warrior has several Talismans on their side, it will greatly increase their survival rate on the battlefield.

After listening to Leon's two requests, High Priest Faens pondered for a moment, and finally nodded and said, "I can agree to both of these requests, but there will be a place for the temple to use you in the future..."

Leon was immediately overjoyed: "As long as you speak, even if it is to break into the abyss to hunt the demon dragon, I will not refuse!"

"It's not that exaggerated..."High Priest Faense stood up with a smile, "Then you wait for news in the hotel!"

He said meaningfully: "Remember not to go to the Holy Mountain again, if your identity as a Divine Blessed Warrior is discovered by others, I am afraid it may not be a good thing!"

Isn't there anything bad about this identity?, Leon's heart moved, he didn't think that the High Priest of Faennes would intimidate him.

If you don't go, you won't go! Leon originally wanted to go to the temple to mix up some faith and divine power, maybe he could train a few samurai during this time.

Now it seems that this thought is still buried in my heart.

He always had the feeling that High Priest Faense seemed to see this secret of his own.

Leon and Rose stayed in Ugrudo for two days, and since the purpose of meeting the High Priest of Faense had been achieved, he completely put his mind at ease, and accompanied Rose around to get a glimpse of the royal capital.

But on the afternoon of the fourth day, Leon received an urgent order to leave for Lionheart at once.

This order was sent directly to the hotel by the Kingdom Garrison, not specifically to Leon, but to all officers of the expeditionary force who were on leave in the city to return immediately, but did not specify the reason.

With a mountain of military orders, Leon returned to the camp of the Third War Regiment with doubts, and only after meeting Count Octavia did he know the reason for the incident.

The war on the northern front is tight, the city of Valen has fallen in the surprise attack of the barbarians, and the kingdom's defense line is facing the possibility of being breached!

In view of the urgency of the war, the kingdom decided to mobilize a legion to urgently go north for reinforcements, and the third war group was included in the reinforcement corps and set off for the northland early tomorrow morning.

"At present, on the northern defense line, there are 150,000 garrisons of our kingdom, holding two fortresses and five cities..."

In the barracks of the wargroup headquarters, the senior commander of the third wargroup gathered around the round table, and the solemn-looking Count Octavia pointed to the military map spread out on the table and said in a deep voice: "I also just got some information about the north, and the situation is very bad. ”

Due to the cold weather and the lack of troops, the Kingdom Garrison maintained a strong position against the barbarians on the northern defensive line, waiting for the arrival of the Southern Expeditionary Force and preparing to launch a counterattack offensive in the spring.

However, the Barbarian coalition had suddenly attacked Valen City in a snowstorm two days earlier, thus tearing a gap in the eastern side of the northern defensive line.

The fall of Valen undoubtedly put the Kingdom garrison in danger of being exposed to the enemy, as it was likely that the barbarian coalition would move south, bypassing the fortress defenses from the flank, and directly threatening Icepeak, the capital of the Far North Province.

"I remember Valen was a quasi-fortress, right? How did the barbarians take it?" asked one of the commanders, puzzled.

The barbarians are nomadic people, with a strong physique and a strong surname, and can be called natural warriors, but they cannot master such things as fighting spirit and magic magic, but the natural power of rage is more amazing.

From a civilizational point of view, the barbarians are still in a primitive state of slash-and-burn farming, and they are very capable of field warfare, and they are good at charging into battle with beast horses, but attacking fortified cities is another matter entirely.

Located in the northeastern part of the Far North Province, Valen is the first line of defense against the barbarians, and although it is not the strongest fortress, its defensive capabilities far exceed that of the average medium-sized city, so its sudden fall is incredible.

"Judging from the news that came to the city, it was the commander of Valen who was careless...", said Count Octavia with some sighs, "He thought that in the blizzard weather, the barbarians would not do anything, but the enemy chose the most unlikely time to attack. ”

"If you only rely on the barbarians themselves, even if Valen City is defenseless, it is impossible for them to take it, but among the enemies there are a large number of Terran knights and magicians, they first sent thieves and assassins to infiltrate Valen City to create chaos, so that the city's defense circle could not be opened in time, and the Terran magicians destroyed the Fata, and then the knights rushed up the city wall to open the city gate..."

The following scenario, without Count Octavia, can be imagined, the loss of the two most important lines of defense, what the garrison of Valen City relied on to resist the wolf-like barbarian army.

The atmosphere in the barracks became extremely solemn, and a trace of sadness appeared in everyone's hearts.

"Our warriors resisted until the last moment, and only a few knights and priests managed to break through, and the news is still blocked from the general population for now, so don't spread the word outside. ”

"Get ready! We will set out early tomorrow morning and rush to the northern front as fast as possible to drive the enemy out of our homeland!" Count Octavia punched the map: "Beamon will win!"

"Beamon will win!" shouted everyone in unison.

Count Octavia nodded in satisfaction, his lion eyes swept over everyone's faces, and finally landed on Leon: "All disbanded, Leon, you stay for a while." ”

After everyone had left, Count Octavia said slowly, "Leon, it is very likely that our third wargroup will be responsible for retaking Valen City, and the Reading Brigade will definitely participate in the battle, so I allow you to rebuild the self-made battle flag." ”

"This war is going to be very brutal, you have to be prepared!"

Leon nodded, without the slightest fear in his heart, he led the soldiers on a long journey, wasn't it just to fight the enemy?

The current Reading Brigade is a temporary formation, and the rebuilding of the number means that the Count of Octavia has officially incorporated Leon's power into the system of the Third Warband, and there is no difference between lineage and sideline.

This is trust and valuation, which makes Leon have a little more admiration for Count Octavia in his heart.

After the emergency meeting of the warband's top management, Leon wasted no time and immediately returned to his reading brigade to begin preparations before the battle.
