The bearded man quickly read the letter, but there was some confusion on his face.

"Your Excellency Leon, I understand the Earl's explanation. But does that have anything to do with the Gato raiders? ”

The bearded officer, presumably of civilian origin, still seems unaware of the current situation.

"There's a gang of so-called bandits in Fletcher Village, you should know, right?"

The bearded man nodded stunnedly: "That's Duke Alma's nephew." But they hadn't done anything bad before, but it was like they were expanding their territory - so the people of the county, although they didn't get along with them, they wouldn't take the initiative to provoke them, so as not to cause more conflict. ”

Leon nodded: "If you haven't received the information that Fletcher Village was looted by the Gatus, and you haven't received the news that the Yongdun Fort was captured, then it means that the so-called bandits near the Fletcher Village colluded with the Gatu people and deliberately let the Gatu people into the hinterland of Changhe Town......"

In fact, Leon is just guessing, but this kind of speculation is not far from ten.

Since the Shield Fortress was safe and sound, and there was not even a special beacon warning, the Gatu cavalry was able to penetrate deep into the heart of the kingdom, most likely with the help of some inner demons.

Count Auden's rise was based on the corpse of the Catu, who was a mortal enemy of the Catu, and it is unlikely that he had been put in by the defenders of Fort Brave.

Considering the territorial conflict between the Duke of Alma and the Count of Oden, it is not too difficult to come to this conclusion.

- Count Auden deliberately asked Leon to deal with the 'bandits' in the village of Fletcher, presumably considering the possibility of such a situation.

However, Auden didn't say that the so-called bandit was Alma's nephew!

This old fox is in the shade of me...... It doesn't seem to be a good bird on either side......

Leon thought.

And when the bearded man heard Li Ang's speculation, his lips began to tremble, and he muttered, "How dare they do this...... How dare you ......"

Leon sighed, his expression was sincere: "Of course they dare - you should know what hundreds of Cato cavalry have entered the hinterland of the kingdom, what does this mean to Count Auden and yourself......"

There were hundreds of Cato cavalry in the hinterland of Changhe Town, and the Yongdun Fort and the garrison of Changhe Town, which were border fortresses, were to blame, at least they were 'incompetent dereliction of duty'.

Moreover, the Gatu people still came from the territory of Count Auden's 'Fletcher Village', and they are even suspected of collaborating with the enemy!

This situation is difficult to deal with, and even if the Gatu cavalry were eliminated immediately, it would be difficult to reverse the fact that they had already plundered the inland villages.

Duke Alma will inevitably attack Count Auden with this, not to mention whether it will rise to the level of 'collaborator', but at least Auden's subordinates have failed to ensure the safety of Changhe Town, and the evaluation of 'not suitable for managing the garrison of Changhe Town' is definitely indispensable.

Then, even the best outcome will lead to the revocation of Oden's management authority for Long River Town and the withdrawal from the battle for Long River Town.

The group of 'bandits' entrenched in Fletcher Village had never done anything bad before, so the real purpose was probably this.

The bearded officer probably figured it out and panicked: "Your Excellency Li Ang, do you have any good ideas?" ”

"Send a large army to exterminate the Cato and try to capture them alive as much as possible. If that is not possible, bring back the horses and all the equipment of the Catotes. ”

Leon didn't hesitate to start arranging, as if he was the chief here.

The bearded man nodded: "Of course. But I'm afraid it won't solve the Earl's troubles......"

What he cares about is 'malfeasance' that has become a fait accompli.

"Of course not, but if you're fast enough and bring back all their horses and equipment, I have a way to solve the problem completely......"

Leon's face was full of confidence: "I will quickly deal with the so-called bandits in Fletcher Village during the time you go to hunt down Gatu—I know that it is inconvenient for the people of the county to make a move." But I need some help......"

Seeing that Leon did seem to have a solution, the bearded Ralph looked very happy: "What do you need?" I try to assist you as much as I can. ”

Leon looked at the map and began to make a request directly: "I need a detailed map, the more detailed the better." In addition, I need supplies, including bows and arrows, as well as some carpenters and building materials, the exact quantities of which I will write to you in a moment. ”

The bearded man also looked at the map, and his face was a little puzzled: "I can understand the map and the bow and crossbow...... But does the carpenter have anything to do with the expulsion of bandits? ”

Li Ang replied with a natural face: "You also know that the so-called bandits are not bandits, but a nobleman...... To deal with this kind of unconventional trouble, it is natural to have an unconventional approach. ”

The bearded man was even more puzzled: "Can you be more specific?" If necessary, I can also send some fresh faces into battle. ”

"Of course...... The problem with the Count and you is that if the Gato raid the town of the Long River have entered and plundered, you will definitely be held responsible, or at least considered dereliction of duty or incompetence......"

Leon gestured across the map and began to describe his plan to the bearded veteran.

The problems faced by Count Auden were troublesome, but not without solutions.

Leon's treatment method is to return a tooth for a tooth.

To the north of the village of Fletcher, near the territory where Duke Alma's nephew was exploring, build a nomadic camp for the Catus.

Then let Ralph send someone to pretend to be a Gatu, and run from the north to the territory of Lion Lake City, that is, the territory of the Duke of Alma, to wander around, and even rob it.

Just as the Gato people usually do, rob and then run away. Count Auden's men should be happy to do the job......

In this way, the entry of the Cato cavalry can be understood as "Cato attacked and plundered everywhere" - there were Cato raiders on everyone's territory, and it was impossible to talk about whose responsibility it was.

Moreover, in the territory of the nephew of the Duke of Alma, there was a tent of the Cato people, which was much more serious than the appearance of a cavalry of Catu......

Count Auden might be able to fight back because of this.

After talking about the plan, Leon asked Sarah to help write down the list of materials he requested, and then patted Ralph on the shoulder: "Ralph, you'd better write a letter to Lord Earl first to inform him of the situation, this is no longer just a simple fight." ”

Hearing the phrase 'write to the Earl to inform him of the situation', the bearded Ralph no longer doubted, but respectfully saluted and received the order: "Although I still don't understand your plan very well, since the Count has told me to cooperate with you as much as possible, I will obey the order." What time do you leave for Fletcher? ”

Leon looked at the sky: "I'll probably leave the day after tomorrow." I'll recruit some more people at the Adventurer's Tavern, and you'll be sent to the Tavern when you're ready. ”

"Yes, Your Excellency."

Sarah hadn't spoken since she was there, but she couldn't help but smile as she left the station.

Only she saw Leon's true intentions.

"You've gone to great lengths to trick those carpenters and building materials...... Lord Leon. ”

Li Ang raised his eyebrows with a righteous face: "What is a lie?" I'm trying to solve the problem for them......"

"But the list of materials you wrote to Ralph was twenty craftsmen and twenty carts of lumber, and enough tents to house hundreds of people...... The so-called nomadic camp probably doesn't use up a tenth, right? ”

"Aha, Sarah, don't worry about the minutiae...... Besides, do you know how expensive those carpenters and building materials are......"
