Chapter 159: Warning of Danger
The Tiger Lion Beast Ride is one of the three most famous beast rides in Bimeng, it is not a product of nature, but a steppe lion in the western Xinjiang province and the red-eyed snow tiger unique to the extreme north province through mating, and the animal trainer has been domesticated since childhood.
Compared with ordinary war horse mounts, the Tiger Lion Beast Rider has extremely strong weight and endurance capabilities, and can carry heavily armed heavily armored knights and weapons and equipment to gallop hundreds of miles in one go, and the ferocity is even more than that of the giant wolf mount.
The disadvantage of the tiger lion beast riding is that the charging speed is not fast enough, and it is said that the consumption of meat is very large, and the cost of raising a tiger lion beast riding is at least four or five times that of a wildebeest, and it is difficult to support it without sufficient financial resources.
But these two weaknesses are nothing compared to its strengths, and many of Beamon's knights want to have a mighty and brave tiger lion beast to ride.
However, the Tiger Lion Beast Ride is all produced in the Western Xinjiang Province, because it needs to be mated by the tiger and lion, and the tiger and lion beast itself does not have the ability to reproduce, so the number of domesticated and mature every year is not much, and most of them are bought by the Kingdom Garrison, and the quantity that flows to the market is very small.
Leon had seen the Tiger Lion Beast Rider in Tormond City, and he was very impressed by it, and he never expected that Lajali would actually bring back one hundred and fifty Tiger Lion Beast Riders from the Western Xinjiang Province!
With this group of beast horses, Leon can establish a heavy armored cavalry in the thunder beast camp, and with a larger number of light horses and rangers, he has a long-range mobile strike force.
Although the role of cavalry was greatly limited in the mountainous and densely forested territory of the Thrall, his eyes were not limited to this area.
In addition to the Tiger Lion Beast Ride, Rakali also brought back three animal trainers.
These three beast trainers belong to the same small family that takes animal taming as their business, and it was by chance that Lajili saved this small family from danger, so that he was able to get the one hundred and fifty tiger and lion beast riders and their effectiveness.
However, Lapinli also spent all the money, and even owed tens of thousands of gold coins.
The only problem is that his acquisition of the Tiger Lion Beast Rider was completely self-made, but he instinctively felt that he couldn't let go of this opportunity at that time, and now he doesn't know whether it is right or wrong after bringing it back.
So when facing Leon, La's heart was very panicked.
Only the bears and hammers who came back with them were all giggling, and the two hundred warriors had cleaned up all the tigers, lions and beasts when they were in the Western Xinjiang Province, which was not enough for them.
These guys sat on the beast ride triumphantly, and it also made the other warriors in the camp who did not participate in the eyes extremely red, compared to the tiger lion beast ride, the wildebeest is really weak, and only the bronze armored rhinoceros possessed by Leon and several other samurai can compare with it.
"Well done!" Leon slapped Lapinley on the shoulder: "From today onwards, you will officially become the chief steward and tax officer of our Sal Territory, and all the trade and funds in the territory will be fully managed by you. ”
"Your annual salary is tentatively set at 10,000 gold coins!"
There is no doubt that Lajli is definitely a qualified businessman, with an excellent sense of smell and decisiveness, his previous failures are just bad luck, and through this business development, Leon believes that he is absolutely not wrong.
Talents are rare, and Sal Ling needs talents from all aspects from scratch, from weak to strong.
Full authority for trade and capital! Lajli was so excited that he almost shed tears, and the position entrusted to him by Leon was undoubtedly the greatest affirmation and trust in his ability.
In comparison, the high salary of 10,000 gold coins is nothing.
After so many years of failures, setbacks and the cynicism of others, he deeply understands how rare and precious this trust is.
"I wish to die for my lord!" said Ranali, kneeling on the ground and choking up.
After arranging Latali and the returning warriors, Leon met with three animal trainers who had come all the way from the western provinces.
These three animal trainers are all of Mastiff descent, and Mastiff belongs to the servant clan, which is not large in number and only lives in the territory of the Western Xinjiang Province, and belongs to the minority ethnic group of Bimeng.
Mastiffs have lived by herding and domesticating wild animals for generations, and they can be said to be natural trainers, with a special talent for mastering the language of beasts.
If these one hundred and fifty tigers, lions and beasts were not accompanied by a beast tamer, it would be impossible for them to cross the mountains and mountains to reach Sal City smoothly, and they might not be able to raise them if they came.
The three animal trainers were all young men in their twenties, with dark blond curly hair, the same broad nose and big mouth, strong and stocky, and a simple and honest temperament of a countryman.
When facing Leon, they didn't dare to speak loudly.
They signed a ten-year contract with Ranali, during which they were to serve Salling and Leon for the rest of the year, with an annual honorarium of only a hundred gold coins.
This is determined by the status of the servant, if it is changed to a lower or upper clan, the price is at least ten times more.
In order to make them work in peace, Leon raised their salary to three hundred gold coins on the spot, making the three animal trainers grateful.
For the next week, Leon was so busy with the affairs of his territory that he even delayed his cultivation.
......... In the dead of night, the Lord's Mansion of Sal City was quiet, except for loyal guards still patrolling around, vigilantly watching every move around them.
A few days ago, there was a news from the mercenary union that someone might want to be unfavorable to Leon, but the union did not provide a source of information, but only reminded Leon to pay attention to safety.
Leon was not careless, and the defense of the lord's mansion has been strengthened in the past few days.
In the study, Leon signed his name on a letter and carefully stamped his emblem at the place where he signed it.
He let out a long breath and leaned back in his chair and stretched, dealing with official documents was a very tedious matter, but these affairs involving all aspects of the territory had to be decided by him, and he really couldn't slack off for a moment.
A slender figure quietly appeared behind Leon, and the slender fingers silently pressed on his temples and gently massaged, the cold fingertips and just the right amount of strength made Leon suddenly vibrate.
He turned around, stretched out his arm and pulled the person behind him into his arms, and kneading the plump towering with his big hand familiarly into the skirt, and immediately heard the other man's greasy murmur.
"Why is it late, why haven't you rested yet?" asked Leon with a smile.
The black elf An Lan twisted in his arms, making himself more comfortable: "You're not around, I can't sleep..."
Leon smiled dumbly, the black elf is definitely a stunner on the bed, since the relationship between the two sides broke through the bottom line, there has been a lot more fun at night.
His heart couldn't help but feel hot, and he reached down to reach out.
Unexpectedly, An Lan held down his big hand, and said with a greasy smile: "Wait a minute, I still have something to tell you." ”
"What's the matter?" Leon asked vaguely, burying his head in her arms.
The black elf let him be light, and said with a slight frown: "Judging from the information obtained so far, there is nothing unusual about our neighbors, and the recent lockdown order has made a big impression on them, and the Collingworth family has been trying to find a way to restore their reputation. ”
"I don't think Viscount Mailer would be stupid enough to hire assassins at this time, and I think our danger may come from the Tormond side, and I don't even rule out that someone would want to frame the Collingworth family. ”
"After all, if something happens to you, the first suspicion is the Collingworth family!"
An Lan is not just a squire by Leon's side, as Leon's pillow person, she took over the collection, collation and analysis of intelligence information from Salling, and a lot of information transmitted from all sides was transmitted to Leon through her hands.
Leon took intelligence gathering very seriously, and after the establishment of Thrall, he set out to build his own intelligence network, using merchants, mercenaries, and spies to learn about the surrounding area and the movements within the kingdom.
Although the current intelligence network is still far from perfect, and there are only a handful of reliable personnel, it is gradually playing a role.
Listening to her analysis, the thoughts in Leon's heart dissipated a lot, and he thought for a while and said, "What you said makes sense, I have many enemies in Tormond. ”
For Leon's enemies, watching him grow stronger step by step is definitely an intolerable thing, and the means in the open and in the dark must be indispensable.
The Collingworth family incident that has just been settled not long ago is not just Viscount Mellor's revenge against him, Leon vaguely feels that there is a huge force behind the scenes, and the deepest reason may be the power conflict between the top of the kingdom and the major forces.
This is undoubtedly a huge whirlpool, and if you accidentally fall into it, it will definitely end up being shattered.
"You've escaped assassination a few times, and if the enemy had known about it, he wouldn't have sent another ordinary assassin to his death, and that's what I'm worried about. An Lan said softly: "After all, you can't have such good luck every time. ”
Leon can fully listen to this, if it is a third-level warrior to assassinate him, as long as he does not fight to the death with the other party, there is absolutely no problem in escaping.
But if it is a fourth-level soul blade warrior, then the situation is extremely dangerous, the soul power blade has super attack and long-range attack ability, and a single sword can destroy his body protection soul armor.
And if it's a fifth-level soul ring warrior, I'm afraid to add Aklan, Rock Hammer, and Elder Munstein... Wait, I'm afraid it's not an opponent either.
Leon escaped death several times, except for good luck, the opponent's strength was not completely overwhelming.
High-level Beast Soul Warriors rarely act as assassins, but that doesn't mean there aren't top powerhouses among assassins!
In the final analysis, it is still his own lack of strength!, Leon thought to himself.
Beep!~ Suddenly, a sharp whistle sounded in the lord's mansion.
Like a sharp blade that cut through the dark night in an instant!
