"Ahem...... Amy didn't come back with you?"

Godric shoved the book in his hand into his arms, took Leon's shoulders and went out the door.

The lord looked at Godric's chest with some pain—the book had entered Godric's noble robes, and it seemed that he could not get it back......

"Amy is in the Gulf of Tonkin ...... So, Lord Godric, I'm going to make Amy a knight, just like the Countess Valera......

The two talked all the way to the lord's office room, where Godric and Leon used to handle official business.

But instead of sitting down on the lord's chair in front of the table, Godric pulled out the chair across from the table and sat down, a guest chair, for the guests who came to visit.

Leon watched Godric's movements, a little overwhelmed.

In any case, Godric is the real lord of White Hart Castle, and he sits in the guest seat, and if Leon sits on the main seat, it will be too ignorant.

"Leon, that's your place now...... I know Amy would love to be a knight, but she's not good enough to go into battle, so don't let anything happen to her, I only have one daughter......

Godric gestured to the main seat and motioned for Leon to sit down, he didn't seem to care about the position at all, but spoke directly about his daughter.

Li Ang hesitated, but instead of going to sit down, he opened the drawer and took out a blank paperwork.

"Amy now has two hundred elite female warriors to protect her...... Her troops are all skilled, stronger than most lords, so you don't have to worry. I'm going to make her Lord of Talon Castle, and whatever knight she wants to be, it's up to her."

Leon stamped three seals directly on the blank paper, one representing the Archon of Ayrshire, one for his own griffon, and one for the three lion seals of Godric, Lord of Whitesburg.

Obviously, this was intended to be Amy's own content.

"Lord of Talon Keep? Aren't you here to support Leofric?"

Godric was a little surprised: "What the hell did you do......

"Oh, I got two county ......."

Leon spread out the map and it took him half an hour to finish telling what had happened before.

"So, you've got Talon and Darkfalcon...... But it's all an enclave, and your troops are too small, so you have to divide your troops to garrison them......

Godric tapped a few times on the map, then shook his head and looked at Leon with some concern.

"Actually, I don't need to send troops to garrison anymore, the Gatu people in the southern part of the steppe have been crippled, and Talon Fort has no foreign enemies now. And the Dark Falcon Castle ...... Now all the forces around Dark Falcon Castle will win me over, and it's safer there."

Leon shook his head, not looking worried at all.

"But the king has given you the task of taking the town of Long River, either to help him recover his seal, or to quickly hand over the money owed to him...... How many dinars did he extort from you?"

Godric hesitated, but told Leon the king's explanation, but he apparently felt that Leon had better pay for it now.

"Oh? And this good thing? Can you pay with his seal?"

When Li Ang heard this, not only was he not worried, but he became excited: "This is good news! I was going to take the town of Changhe, it's the best of both worlds......

"Wait...... How is the good news? You've only got 200 men in your hands right now! King Ulrique is clearly trying to get you to fight Grandlon! I'm here to discuss with you...... We can't afford to consume the forces of Fort White Hart in a civil war!"

Godric's eyes widened as he looked at Leon, and he wondered if this kid was completely floating after a few victories? Dare to fight anywhere? Bailu Fort is related to the security of the border, and the garrison cannot be dispatched in a big way.

"Lord Godric, I didn't plan to bring the troops of Castle Whitedeau...... My countermeasure is to take the town of Changhe with my own troops alone, so that the king will have to give me the town of Changhe......

Leon is in

A few clicks on the map: "You should know that Long River has my Long River Express in Long River Town, and I need to connect both Talon and Darkfal Fort. As long as I can take control of the town and unleash the potential of the River Express, these enclaves will no longer be enclaves, and each place will become a real territory."

Godric looked at the map with a frown, and when he heard the Long River Express, he could now understand Leon's intentions.

Thousands of miles away, enclaves would definitely need a core hub if they wanted to connect with each other, but it stands to reason that no city in the Lion Realm could connect to a place as far as the Falcon Fortress.

But the town of Long River is an exception.

Because Li Ang had set up the Long River Express in the town early in the morning - if the convoy could pass through the Gatu steppe safely, then the Long River Express could connect him and cover any place.

For Leon, as long as he can control Changhe Town, there will be no enclave on this continent.

Godric was rescued by Eric before, and he already has a full understanding of the nature of the Long River Express, which is actually a rapid reaction force with extremely strong mobility capabilities, but the ruling power of Long River Town has always been in the hands of others before, and the development of the Long River Express will be somewhat limited.

If Changhe Town becomes Li Ang's territory, then Changhe Express will probably soon cover half of the continent like Maixiang International.

"You annihilated the Cato people in the southern part of the Cato steppe, and made the Raven King admit his mistake and make a truce, which is no less meritorious than the Earl of Auden back then—you will gain great prestige for it, and it will indeed be no problem for you to become the lord of Long River......

Godric understood that Leon was no longer short of prestige, and this kid had won several big victories in the northern and southern wars during this time, and had become a real kingdom general.

"And you came back to recruit soldiers? Do you need to send some men from my guard......

Godric knew that Leon had already decided, so he wouldn't persuade him, anyway, his daughter should be quite safe in Eagle Talon Castle. He planned to allocate some of his guards to Leon.

"No, my lord, I'm not just here to recruit soldiers, I'm mainly here to wait for the battle in Talon Castle to spread to the entire Lion Realm...... Actually, it doesn't take too many people to capture Changhe Town."

Li Ang smiled, he really wanted to wait for his fame to spread to the entire Lion Realm, that is, to wait for the Lion Knights and the Royal City Guards to return to their respective territories to recuperate.

"When your reputation spreads throughout the Lion Realm, the king will fear your ...... Even if you conquer Changhe Town, he probably won't seal it up for you."

Godric sighed, "He's not the same now as he was when he was younger......

Leon shook his head: "Since the king has given me such a task, it means that he has long been afraid of me—in fact, he is also afraid of you, otherwise he would have just sent a warrant, and there would be no need for you to send me a message...... But if nothing else, he'll seal the town of Changhe to me—or rather, to the two of us."

Godric was stunned: "What do you mean? The two of us?"

"As long as there is a conflict between us, he will definitely do it......" Leon raised an eyebrow, "Doesn't he like checks and balances?"

Godric nodded slowly, "You're really better suited to think about these things than I am...... When I get to Changhe Town, I plan to find a manor by the lake to retire and live a good life. I'll leave the rest to you and Amy......

Then, he got up and took out a flag from the cupboard: "Take this to Amy, she's a member of the royal family and should use this."

It was the fleur-de-lis that he had used, golden, representing the royal knights.

……

A few days later, the town of Long River.

Li Ang led the team to the outside of Changhe Town, and he only brought three hundred men, one hundred of whom were newly recruited recruits.

Godric actually came with the guards, but he didn't approach the town of Long River, but was a few miles away to meet him.

Since the dart masters of the Long River Express are still inside, and the Duke of Brennus has withdrawn his troops, even if it is just relying on his own manpower, Leon is indeed confident that he will take it

Changhe Town.

However, Godric is a cautious person after all, and although Leon said that it was okay, Godric still planned to cooperate in close quarters just in case.

Surprisingly, the town of Changhe did not close its gates.

Not only that, but there didn't seem to be any tension in Long River Town, and the caravans and pedestrians were still coming and going normally, and everything seemed to be normal.

But this kind of normality now seems very abnormal.

Grandlon's usurpation of the king's seal and illegal occupation of the king's direct domain are all unpardonable crimes of rebellion, but Grandon did not seal the city and prepare for war?

Moreover, when Li Ang's banner appeared outside Changhe Town, several cavalry actually came out from inside the city.

"Is it Baron Leon? Mistress Grandon is waiting for you, and he is at the gates."

The leading heavy cavalry was polite.

Leon didn't understand Grandlon's intentions a little, but since he didn't have to fight, he was of course willing to settle it peacefully.

Grandon was waiting at the gates of Long River at the moment, and he was not wearing armor, and it seemed that he was not prepared for battle, and he did not even plan to start any conflict.

"Baron Leon, I am glad to be there...... I've heard about your achievements at Talon Castle, and you're so young!"

Seeing Leon coming, Grandon actually took the initiative to greet him, as if he was not a rebel leader at all, but just an ordinary noble lord.

"Lord Grandlon, have you been waiting for me? But I feel compelled to remind you that you are now a rebel of the Kingdom......

Leon felt that this guy probably didn't know his own identity.

"Am I a rebel? Says who? Did Baron Godric say that? That's just a misunderstanding......

Grandlon shook his head and smiled, and pointed to the inside of the city gate: "If you don't believe him, ask him to see who is the rebel......

In the city, several heavy cavalry of Shihu City escorted out a young man whose mouth was strangled with a strip of cloth and his face was covered in blood.

"Forsette?"

Of course Leon knew this man, and this was indeed Forsette.

Grandlon took out a handkerchief and wiped Forsette's bloody face: "Lord Leon...... Do you think that a nobleman like me, who captured the leader of the rebel army and recaptured the golden seal for the king, was a traitor? I have been waiting for His Majesty the King to send someone to take over the town of Changhe, but I am only temporarily stationed for the safety of the town."

"I'm afraid it's hard to win the trust of His Majesty the King......

Leon frowned, he understood what Grandon meant, this was to exchange Forsette for his own legal status, and explain everything that had happened before as a misunderstanding.

"It's not rhetoric, it's fact, Baron Leon. I didn't do anything treasonous, in fact I led my troops to fight the Ravens...... I just had a personal vendetta against Forsette—he killed my wife, and he killed all my father-in-law's children!"

Grandon looked sincere, as if he were really a loyal servant.

"Looks like you're fighting Lion Lake City's idea...... So let your troops disarm and leave the town of River, and then hand over the king's golden seal, and I will believe you."

Leon pursed his lips, he felt that Grandon was just trying to fool himself.

"Baron Leon, I just don't want to clash with you, you do have a great record, but that doesn't mean I'm afraid of you...... As I said, I'm waiting for His Majesty the King to send someone to take over the town of Changhe, but I don't think it's likely to be you, and I can only give the King's seal to the King himself."

Grandon raised his hand and pointed to the flag hanging in the town of Long River—still a golden lion on a red background.

"I'm sorry, but I'm really sent by the king...... Didn't you notice the color of my coat of arms, Grandlon?"

Leon shook his head and smiled, he understood what Grandon meant, Grandlong was planning to hold Changhe Town hostage to negotiate with the king.

As long as the king is willing to openly admit that he is not a rebel, he can hand over the town of Long River in its entirety and return to Lion Lake City.

If Grandlon is still a legitimate nobleman, he may well inherit Lake Lion from his deceased ex-wife, Nerda

, because Forsette had committed treason, and all of Alma's other children were dead, and the Horton family was also a rebellious traitor.

As long as Grandlon is not a rebel, he can become the rightful heir - after all, he did not admit to divorcing Nerda, and even gave his father-in-law a funeral. Coupled with the fact that he controls the Lion Lake City Flag Guard, the people of Lion Lake City will support him.

Therefore, he must show that he does not admit treason at all, and he has always committed no crime against Changhe Zhenqiu.

Forsette seemed to be unlucky, and after abandoning most of the infantry and running out of Eagle Talon Fort, he was blocked by the Lion Lake City Flag Guards......

It's right to think about it, Fawcett and Grandon are very familiar with the surroundings of Lion Lake City, and it is estimated that they went to the same "safe" place at the same time after leaving the battlefield, and then they ran into each other.

But Grandlon's plan will definitely fail, and the lord knows that since King Ulrik has arranged for himself to destroy Grandlon, he definitely does not intend to let Grandon go, and he has also dug a hole for himself - if he negotiates with Grandlon, then the authority of the rebel will inevitably be withdrawn.

Rebels cannot compromise with the rebels.

"Then there's not much to say, Baron Leon...... I know you're going to get the seal back for the King, and you have a lot of business in Rivertown yourself - if you don't want this place to be a sea of fire, and you don't want the King's Seal to disappear forever, you'd better go back and forth. I don't want to fight you, but if I have to die here, then Long River will cease to exist!"

Granlon, frowning, grabbed Forsette by the hair and retreated into the city.

But he didn't seem to be as calm as he said, and the strip of cloth that had been tied to Forsette's mouth from the back of his head was loosened by his grasp.

"Spit ...... Ahem...... He didn't dare! The Lion Lake City Flag Guards won't bury him...... Leon, charge! Catch him......"

Forsette was finally able to speak at this point, and as soon as he came, he made Leon charge.

Grandlon's face changed dramatically, and he gagged Forsette's mouth and began to retreat quickly.

"Trumpet! Charge the whole army!"

In fact, Leon also felt that Grandlon should not dare to set fire, and besides, Eric was still in the city with five hundred dart divisions.

As long as his trumpet sounds, Eric will definitely cooperate with the outside world, and Grandon may not be able to set fire to the city, and even if he sets it on fire, it can be extinguished in a short time - behind the town of Long River is a large lake, and there are rivers in the city, and the water is abundant.

And, now that Grandlon looks completely unprepared, he does have a good chance of catching him...... Even if you can't catch him, you can shoot him!

But Leon didn't plan to shoot Grandlon directly, after all, the king's seal had not been found, and it was estimated that only Grandon knew where the seal was hidden.

So, Leon intends to capture him.

But at the moment when Li Ang rushed into Changhe Town with his troops, the city gate fell.

The troops were cut off at the waist, and only Leon and his personal guards, the hundred hooded Noldor rangers, entered the city.

The mixed forces behind him didn't move so fast and were blocked from the city gates.

At this time, Leon saw the smiles on the faces of Forsette and Grandlon at the same time!

……

Today, only the palace guards and security forces are left in the Lion City, and the Qicha Fortress is even more empty, leaving only a hundred old, weak, sick and disabled people to guard it.

King Ulrik had sent out all his strong armies before, and the Lion Knights, the Royal City Guards, and the main garrison that had been garrisoning the capital were all gone.

However, neither Fieldsway nor the Bacchus Empire took the opportunity to attack the Lion Kingdom.

In fact, it is not called none, but "failed".

Fieldsway's King Vidis had originally laid down a heavy army in the High Cliff Fort, obviously planning to take advantage of the fire to loot, but a heretical army strangely appeared near the Fog Cage City, and as a result, Fields had to return to the army first to solve the internal problem.

That heretical army is the army of the Three Prophets.

They were released from the swamp near Misty Castle and within a few days they had raised a force of more than two thousand men in Fieldwie

of the army.

By the time Fields had finally dispersed the army of the Three Prophets, the news of Eagle Talon Fort in the northern part of the Lion Kingdom had spread.

Duke Brennus and Baron Leon joined forces to annihilate the 5,000 Cato army, the Raven Kingdom admitted that it had "accidentally crossed the border" and signed a truce, and the Lion Kingdom seemed to solve the crisis in the fastest way, so Fields Fields honestly continued to be an "ally" of the Lion Kingdom.

And the Bacchus Empire was too busy to take care of itself.

Rebels are raging within the Empire, and there are large-scale slave revolts within the Empire, as well as Serpent worshippers attacking towns and cities......

The entire hinterland of the Bacchus Empire was in full swing, and there were battles going on almost everywhere, even General Titus of Fort Sava and General Creon of Fort Cullen Deer were transferred to quell the rebellion - even the border defenders were withdrawn to quell the rebellion, and the situation was indeed extremely tense.

The origin of all this is that King Ulrik supplied a large amount of dinars to the rebel leader of the Bacchus Empire, "Sheila Yuzas".
