"Baron Leon..."Roddick sneered, "I'm just thinking about you, as a nobleman, how can you accept a traitor as a follower?"

Betrayal?Concordia's eyes jumped, and a fierce color flashed across his eyes.

One of his hands was clenched into a fist, and the joints rattled with the force.

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense!

The sneer on Roddick's lips grew stronger, and he had close ties to the Collingworth family, and he had a close relationship with Zagu, who had suffered a crushing defeat at Leon's hands.

After three days of waiting, he held back the fire in his belly, and now this fire is about to be vented: "Concordia, do you still want to challenge me? Don't talk about you now, even if you haven't been sealed before, I..."

The wolf knight's triumphant voice stopped abruptly, as if someone had slapped him in the face.

Concordia looked at him coldly, there was an extra layer of red soul armor outside his burly body, and the hideous wolf head on his chest was the violent beast soul in his heart, and the light transmitted was like a burning flame.

Soul Armor Warrior of the Second Rank!

Roddick's face was distorted, and he couldn't believe his eyes: "I, you... How is that possible!"

If a knight is sealed with a soul core, then it can only be lifted through the temple's soul casting ceremony, not to mention whether the temple sacrifice will favor a knight who has been expelled by the family, and the temple's summer sacrifice will take another month.

The question then arises, how did Concordia regain his strength? Could it be that the temple held a separate ceremony for him - this is simply impossible.

"Nothing is impossible..."Leon said lightly, "Concordia is a true knight, and the great beast god will not watch an upright knight suffer unjustified grievances, so he not only regained his strength, but also broke through the realm of strength." ”

Sooner or later, the news of Concordia's regaining power will be spread, and the reason for the unsealing will definitely attract attention, so Leon simply pushed it to the beast god.

As a loyal knight, it is normal to receive the favor of the beast god, and a small miracle is not without precedent, no one will dare to question the beast god, right?

This is undoubtedly a perfect explanation, and Leon can also hide the special abilities he possesses.

The mockery in Leon's words was like a slap in Roddick's face, and the Wolf Knight's face was blue and red, and it was hard to see the extreme.

Seeing the other party's expression like this, Concordia's heart was full of sullenness, and he smiled slightly and dispersed the soul armor that protected the body.

A dismissive gesture.

Roddick didn't spurt out a mouthful of old blood, which was really self-inflicted.

"Knight Roddick, let's get down to business with Lord Baron Leon, shall we?"

When the wolf knight was riding the tiger, Confunie, who was sitting on the side, smiled and said, "We have to hurry up and go back to our lives." ”

Roddick took a deep breath, regained his calm on the surface, he turned his gaze to Leon and said coldly: "Baron Leon, the Garrison Department of the Southwest Province is uniting all the fortresses and territories on the western border, preparing to launch an encirclement and suppression operation against the monsters and black elves active in the dark places..."

The existence of the Dark Lands of the Western Frontier has always been a serious threat to the Southwest Province.

Therefore, once it is found that the monsters and underground creatures in the dark places have signs of outbreak, the garrison will mobilize forces to encircle and suppress them, although they cannot fundamentally solve the problem, but they can also avoid an uncontrollable situation.

Territories like Salling, which are adjacent to the Dark Lands, are undoubtedly the beneficiaries of encirclement operations, so the garrison usually asks the territory for support before the operation.

Whoever benefits and who contributes is fair and reasonable, which is supported by the high ranks of the kingdom and the senate.

Of course, the local aristocratic territory can also be forcefully refused, but this is tantamount to standing on the opposite side of the garrison, and it is even more unpopular.

That's why Roddick and Convany came, so they would rather wait three days at the Lord's Mansion to see Leon himself.

Because it is not uncommon for a lord to avoid seeing and evading responsibility before, after all, the operation of the military headquarters cannot be terminated or delayed because of the non-cooperation of a local lord.

"I see," Leon nodded and asked, "What do you want us to come up with?"

"It's simple, the provincial garrison has asked Sal to provide five hundred warriors with weapons..."

Probably because of seeing that Leon was quite cooperative, Roddick's arrogance came back a little: "Or support the military expenses of 50,000 gold coins, there is no room for negotiation, and the military department does not need to bargain!"

Five hundred warriors, or fifty thousand gold coins!

Although Leon didn't know what the practice of other territories was, he believed that as a newly established territory that had been established for less than half a year, it would definitely not be normal to ask Sal to come up with so much.

The other party's request is obviously with a strong target, and if the request is met, it is tantamount to treating himself as a piglet.

But if he refuses directly, the consequence will not only greatly offend the Southwest Provincial Garrison Army, but also give those who want to deal with Salling the best excuse.

"We, Salling, are willing to take on our own responsibilities..."Leon said slowly: "But our Salling has only just been established, the summer grain has not been harvested yet, and the commercial tax is not much, how can we get 50,000 gold coins?"

Of course, Leon took out 50,000 gold coins, but he is not a fool, this time he took it out to solve the problem, and next time he may ask for more ruthlessness.

"Then you can go out, your territory can't even afford five hundred soldiers, right?" Roddick sneered: "I saw on the street that your patrols are quite numerous, and the equipment is good. ”

"Baron Leon, don't you want to refuse the request of the military department?"

Leon ignored him, but turned to Confany and asked, "Knight Confunium, the garrison has asked us Sal to receive money or people, because we Sal have benefited from the military department's extermination operation, right?"

Leon's gaze is so old, the two knights who came, Roddick obviously played the role of a black face, although the tiger knight Confoni did not speak much, but the identity should be above Roddick.

In the face of Leon's inquiry, Confune smiled: "Yes, Baron Leon, I also understand that such a request may be a little difficult for Salling, but in the long run, the actions of the military headquarters can greatly solve the threat that Salling will face in the future. ”

"The Dark Lands are constantly expanding, and the activities of the Black Elves are becoming more and more rampant, and sooner or later they will launch an attack on Thrall. ”

Leon nodded secretly in his heart, this tiger girl looked very rough, and her mind was absolutely delicate.

It was obviously a rude request, but it seemed that it was all for Leon's sake when it came out of her mouth.

For this reason, Leon valued the female knight far more than Roddick.

"Makes sense!" Leon clapped his hands, a smile appeared on his face, but the words suddenly changed: "Knight Confune, considering the current situation of Salling, I have a suggestion. ”

"I want to hear it!" Confunie still smiled.

"Our Salling is willing to provide military support of 8,000 gold coins to the garrison headquarters, and at the same time send soldiers to clear the monsters in the territory, what do you think?"

I give money, but I can only give so much, I contribute, but I only care about my own territory! Leon's words obviously surprised Cornnie, and she suddenly froze.

After careful analysis, Leon's proposal was impeccable in both reasonableness and reason, and he did not refuse the request of the military department, and contributed money and efforts.

If this is not enough, even if the lawsuit is brought to the senators, the elders of the kingdom will not think that there is anything wrong with Salling, but will only think that the garrison of the southwest province is deliberately making things difficult.

"I remember that the area of the dark land of your Thrall Territory is not small, can you rely on your territorial guards?" Roddick jumped out again: "The final result depends on the victory, if you can't get a decent record at that time, we can only think that this is perfunctory and contempt for the garrison headquarters!"

"Did you get a record?" Leon laughed, "Concordia, you go and let people carry everything in!"

"Yes, my lord," Concordia replied with a salute, and swaggered out of the hall.

The two knights looked at each other, not understanding what Leon was trying to do.

Roddick looked at Leon, who was confident, and felt a bad feeling in his heart.

Soon, Concordia returned to the hall with several Thunderbeast guards, and the warriors brought two bloodstained sacks.

Leon commanded, "Open it and show it to the two knights!"

The tether of the sack was pulled open, and the contents were immediately presented to Confany and Roddick, and the air was immediately filled with a strong smell of blood and a disgusting stench!

Inside these two hemp bags, one contains the head of a black elf, and the other has countless severed goblin noses!

The weather was hot, and despite the antiseptic potions, the signs of decay were not avoided.

Roddick almost threw up on the spot, and the horror in his heart was indescribable.

"Five days ago, we led the Thunder Beast Camp into the Dark Lands and went deep underground to destroy a team of dark elves, including a dark elf wizard!" Leon said lightly, "Subsequently, we killed three hundred and eighty-six goblins and finally destroyed a goblin city!"

"This can't be!" the wolf knight let out a strange cry, and his voice changed.

Leon snorted disdainfully, "Idiot, is everything in front of you fake?"

Confunie's face changed, she raised her head again, and her eyes changed when she looked at Leon: "Baron Leon, this is a rare victory in the Southwest Province in ten years, and your bravery makes me admire!"

She actually stood up and respectfully gave a knightly salute to Leon.
