Buori, Count's Palace of the Rose Knights.

Dambern was in his study checking the account books, their knight legion was a semi-mercenary team, and they would send knights to perform mercenary missions every year in order to receive a gratuity.

However, in recent years, the places have been relatively peaceful, so their collection of people is also decreasing, and they have to rely on the sponsorship of the largest merchant in the city, Wo Rui, otherwise their knights will not be able to support it until now.

Thinking of this, he also frowned deeply, now the situation of the knights is becoming more and more difficult, although it is possible to disband some people to reduce the pressure, but if they do, their family's influence in the city will drop a lot.

Just when he was upset, he suddenly smelled a fragrance, and then he saw Alice squatting with a plate walking in, and he also smiled and said, "Daughter, what are you doing here?"

"Father, I see that you have worked so hard, of course I am here to reward you!" Alice walked in and put the plate in front of Damberen.

"When did you become so well-behaved, there must be something!"

Dan Bron also knows his daughter very well, if it weren't for her own help, she wouldn't have brought food to herself in the middle of the night.

Seeing that her thoughts were seen through, Alice also smiled slightly, and then pointed to the food in front of her and said, "Father, can you taste it first?"

Dan Bron saw that there were also a few pieces of duck meat and a lobster on the plate, smelling a special fragrance, and at the same time there was a pair of knives and forks, he was not very hungry, but Quiet Alice looked at him expectantly, and he also stretched out his hand to get it.

After seeing this, Alice immediately stretched out her hand and shouted: "Father, you can't use your hands anymore, there are knives and forks next to you, you can use them!"

"You girl has gone out for dinner and has so many things!"

Immediately Dan Bron picked up the knife and fork, forked a piece of duck meat and put it in his mouth, and immediately he felt the juice in the meat flow out, and a smell of jujube fragrance went straight to his heart.

After a while, he ate all the pieces of duck meat, and put a piece of shrimp meat into his mouth, and instantly a spicy smell filled his mouth, and he kept nodding.

After eating it all, Dambern smiled and said, "Daughter, where did you find this? It's really good, why don't you invite that chef to cook!"

"Then you can't afford to ask for it!" said Alice, smiling as she waited for her father to take the bait.

"When did our family not even afford to have a cook?" said Dan Bleun at all.

Alice was waiting for this sentence, and hurriedly counterattacked: "Father, he is not a cook, he is the king of Logo." ”

Damblen was also stunned for a moment when he heard this, thinking about when Logo would have a king, but then he reacted, and the previous beggar duke seemed to be a fief in Logo.

Now seeing that her daughter took the initiative to act tonight, she must have something to do with him, so she asked directly: "Alice, just say what you want to do, I don't bother to guess." ”

Immediately, Alice told her what Surin had told her, mainly to open the gates and allow the people of the city to go to Loggo to do business.

After knowing that this was the purpose of dealing with it, Damberon also fell into deep thought, because Logo was a no-man's land, so there was no need to open the east city gate.

Alice saw that her father was stunned, and said again: "Father, you don't know how beautiful Loggo is, the blue sea, and many delicious foods"

Just as she was chattering, Danburen's voice suddenly rang out: "Go and call your brother, I have something to tell him." ”

"Oh, father, don't forget it. ”

After a while Berry walked in, looked at Damblen and said, "Father, you called me?"

Damblen stretched out his hand to sit him down and asked, "How do you feel about going to Loggo this time?"

"Very good, there is a lot of land that has been cultivated, and there are 3,000 troops. Bulden reported truthfully.

"It's only 3,000 soldiers, so few. Dan Bellen's eyes lit up when he heard this number, and his face was full of excitement.

Bowden knew what he was thinking when he saw his expression, so he quickly explained: "Although there are only 3,000 people, they are all very strong, and they have completely annihilated a half-orc tribe of 10,000 people, and there are thousands of young people in addition to them. ”

After hearing this, Dan Bolun also sighed, muttering in his mouth: It's a pity, it's a pity.

A week later, the Dambern class heads to the Doge's Palace, where a meeting is held at the end of each month to report on the harvest of the month and the arrangements for the next.

When he arrived, he saw that Ryan and Warray were already sitting together, chatting, and after greeting them, he sat down.

After he sat down, a majestic voice rang out: "I received the latest news, Muga is now in chaos, and the eastern region has basically fallen into chaos, so we have to take this opportunity to make a profit." ”

Then Vorry spoke again: "Count Damberen, I need to cooperate with you and lead your men to sack the eastern region, and I have already mapped out the route. ”

"But it's not good if we let the Knights do this, after all, we also keep in touch with the royal family of Muga. Damberon's brow was also furrowed deeply at this time.

"You don't have to worry about that, you can dress up in disguise, and we'll send someone with you. Ryan echoed the voice.

Dan Bron has no chance to object to this at all, because he has the power of the army, so the two of them have always joined forces to deal with him, and this is not a matter of one or two days.

Seeing his solemn face, Vorry also suddenly laughed, and then said: "This is a good thing, when the time comes, the three of us will divide the looted property equally, and we will not treat you badly, I also know that your knights are now relatively tight on funds, so we decided to allocate 100,000 gold coins first." ”

After hearing this, Damberland's face softened a lot, although he also knew that they wanted to let themselves be the vanguard, and the casualties would be the greatest at that time, but he had to compromise.

Now they have 20,000 knights under their command, and 100,000 gold coins are only enough for the expenses of the knights for a month, and they also let themselves act within this month.

After taking a deep breath, Damberon also agreed to this request, and then said: "I received news that the king of Logo wants us to open the east gate and allow the people of the city to go there to do business, what do you think about this?"

"Logo has a king now, how did I not know about it?"

"Maybe it's the beggar king from before, that proves that Logo doesn't have any orcs now, let's just go and fight it down. ”

That's what Damberon thought before, and after defeating Loggo, he could also relieve the pressure on his knights, and after hearing what they said, he also said: "This doesn't seem to be possible, I heard that they have defeated an army of 10,000 orcs, and we don't seem to be able to defeat each other!"

He didn't say anything about the fact that Loggo now only had 3,000 soldiers, otherwise the two of them would have sent a large army over.

And when Ryan and Vorry heard this, they thought that the other party must have tens of thousands of soldiers, otherwise it would be impossible to defeat the half-orc army of 10,000 people.

After discussing for a while, the two of them agreed not to open the east city gate, let the people of the city come and go, from here to Logod for a month, the Gobi outside will meet orcs at any time, and the people of the city will not risk going to an abandoned place.

Seeing this, Dambern had no choice, after all, he only promised Alice to mention it, and whether it could be achieved was another matter.

But just as Damberland and Ryan got up to leave, Vorray suddenly stopped them: "Wait a minute, we can promise him this." ”

"What, you can promise him again, what do you think?" Layley knows the nature of Vorry, a greedy and cruel businessman who has always only recognized money.

"We can agree to the request to open the East Gate, but there is one demand, and that he must give us 100,000 gold coins every month. Vorry smiled and said his attention.

Ryan also laughed when he heard this, and then said: "Even if the East City Gate is opened, no one will dare to risk crossing the Gobi and going to Luogo, and then he will give us money for nothing, haha." ”

In this regard, Vorry shook his head and said: "Then you are too good to him, as long as we collect the money, even if he doesn't open the city gate, what can he do, and he still wants to attack us? ”

They then sent someone to Loggo to inform Surin that they had agreed to the plan.

At this time, Alice was sitting at the door of the house and waiting boredly, only watching the ants on the ground continue to be bored.

After a while, she heard the sound of horses' hooves from far and near, and when she looked up, she saw her father walking back accompanied by several knights, and she hurriedly knighted to meet her.

Seeing his daughter's appearance, Dan Bolun also laughed and teased: "It seems that our daughter is really interested in that man!"

"Of course, your daughter will be the queen in the future. Alice replied with a happy face.

"But now it looks like your king is in trouble. ”

Immediately, Dambern told Ryan and Huanwori about their plans for Surin.

Alice was also angry when she found out, and asked loudly: "Isn't it just to open a city gate? ”

"Daughter, the result of whether the East City Gate is open or not is the same, they are only trying to do this, and they don't have much hope, and no one will risk crossing the Gobi and encountering orcs to go to Luogo, let alone make money, maybe even their lives will be lost, and all the king's plans are probably going to fail. ”
