Maned Wolf City, the Earl's Castle has a huge suite with a full living room, living room, study and bedroom, and even a sports hall and meditation room.

Everything here is custom-made according to the height of 10 meters, and the sports hall of several hundred square meters even has a super height of 30 meters.

The owner of this place, the Earl of the Northwest of the Dragon Kingdom, Kempins Maned Wolf, once built this lord-only room after breaking through to the Silver Knight, and at that time he was confident that he could continue to break through to the Sky Knight, using his fighting spirit to fly in the air.

At the moment, the 3-meter-tall Count was resting in the living room, emaciated, half-lying on a wicked chair that could be adjusted in angle and length, and was very sturdy, very popular with demon lovers.

The Earl's eyes were closed, reminiscing about the days of a dozen years ago, when he had just become a Silver Knight.

The most important thing for every nobleman is to let himself continue to break through, so that the family can obtain excellent bloodline inheritance, and let the territory continue to produce extraordinary output.

The Maned Earl was no exception, he was ambitious at the time, and in order for his family to take it to the next level, he had to constantly serve a large family.

Until that day, he took his wife into the trap of conspiracy...

"Sir? The eldest young master is already outside the door" The housekeeper didn't know when he was already standing behind him, and reported softly.

The Count opened his eyes, "Oh, here?" Let him in. ”

The 4-meter-high door was pulled open, and a handsome knight walked in quickly.

"Father, I just received it." The person who came was the Earl's eldest son, Fernando Maned Wolf, this young man was the most dazzling child in the entire Maned Wolf City since he was a child, he was already a junior knight at the age of 15, he broke through to the intermediate level at the age of 20, and he had broken through to the senior knight at the age of 25 two years ago.

The Earl took the note and sighed, "Roth can really make money, 10,000 gold coins in 7 years, aren't you afraid of choking yourself to death?" ”

"This insatiable guy is just a smuggler of salt and iron, and he dares to smuggle iron armor and war horses to the Frostwolf family," Fernando said through gritted teeth.

"The nobles' way of doing things, not only to give their subordinates space so that they can develop, but also not to be too indulgent, I have just focused on Dragon's Tooth City in the past few years, and neglected the management of these border nobles." The Count attaches great importance to the cultivation of his eldest son, hoping that he will be able to fulfill his wish to revitalize the family.

"You will face the same situation in the future, if you want to deal with it well, you must master the degree"

"How do you know that?"

"Assemble the Knights, but don't set off yet, I'm going to teach Roth a lesson"

"Yes, Father"

In the eyes of the Maned Wolf Count, the winter of 996 will be a little cooler on the border, but it will only be slightly colder than in previous years, and as long as his Maned Wolf Knights are in hand, there will be no accidents.

。。。。。。。。。

Roth Domain, Viscount Castle Study. Although Viscount Roth and Baron Galloping Horse belong to the same clan, the grandeur of Viscount Lot's castle is far from being comparable to Baron Galloping Horse.

The castle of the Viscount's family also has 3 floors, which is very similar in function to Hack's castle, but is 3 times larger than the Baron's castle in terms of area, and outside the main castle, there is a large secondary castle and warehouse.

The current Viscount of Roth, Bob Roth, was once the deputy head of the Maned Wolf Knights. Eight years ago, in 988, the barbarians invaded on a large scale, and the then Viscount Roth entrusted the people of the territory to Huck Galloping Horse, and led his knights to deal with the barbarians, but unfortunately died.

Bob inherited the Roth Domain, and since then the Roth Territory has grown rapidly. Bob has two ways of doing business, the Galloping Horse Plains Merchant and the Royal Capital Network.

He set up a ride with the Frostwolf family, a large trading house, in the royal capital of Dragon's Tooth City, and sold the specialties of the Galloping Horse Plain to the royal capital through the frost wolf, obtaining higher profits.

Now there are 60 households in the Viscount of Roth, with a population of more than 600, there are 5 knights in the Roth family, 12 knights in the castle, 4 fiefdom knights and 8 knights (including reserve knights), so the strength is accumulated through Bob's management on the basis of almost annihilation 8 years ago.

At this moment, the viscount was in his study, and he had just finished writing a list of supplies to be sent to the Grey Goose tribe.

Although Viscount Bob was born as the deputy head of the Knights, he had studied in Dragon's Tooth City, and his business connections also came from his school days.

Bob looked at the list in his hand, and felt reluctant for a while, this was all he had worked hard to accumulate in the past few years, and every copper coin should be used to do more meaningful things.

In Bob's opinion, when the critical moment comes, it is normal for the nobles to scatter the side branches as bargaining chips.

More than ten years ago, the frost wolf family in the royal capital, because of the scandal of fornicating with the barbarians, directly pushed the person in charge of the business at that time out to take the blame, and it is said that the whereabouts of the brother and sister were unknown later.

Now he is just copying the practice of the big family.

He didn't agree with his brother's idea of rushing to the front and letting the side branch take care of the people.

In his eyes, the Roth family, as the main branch, should be preserved.

But this side branch was too unconscious, and actually fled with all the people when there was only one member of the knight apprentice, a knight apprentice. Even if you keep the people, you can't inherit the barony's domain, so why can't you contribute yourself to keep the entire Roth territory?

Every year Bob went to the Plains of the Galloping Horse to do business, and he brought Huck with him, and Huck and his sons were the best barons in the entire Northwest Earlland.

Why should I make a fortune with you? Isn't it to get you on at a critical moment? Why don't you say anything about gratitude, and now you need me to pay so much money and food to feed those barbarians.

Viscount Rott was furious.

The study door was pushed open, and Bob's son, Del Roth, entered, "Father, is the list confirmed?" That grey goose messenger can't wait."

"Then let him fuck off!" Bob roared, Bob cared very much about the status and status of the noble, and he couldn't tolerate an ordinary barbarian demon supporter dictating in front of him.

"Tell him that tomorrow the Count's Knights will come, and that his grey duck will have to fly them back to the plains."

"Father, this is the second thing I want to say" Del took out a note, "This is sent by Captain Crony Red Dragon"

"What?" He only sent someone to hand over this note? Crony Reddragon is the nephew of Kempins Maned Wolf and once worked with Bob Roth in the Maned Wolf Knights.

The two were not only classmates in the capital and colleagues in the Earl City, but also partners on the commercial route from the Galloping Horse Plain to the royal capital.

Now that he is in a big disaster, after he has already asked Maned Wolf City for help, he only has a note?

Bob took the sliver, glanced at it, and then rolled it up and threw it on the ground. "This jackal, scavenging hound, unfed idiot!

What did you say that the Knights could not be mobilized for the time being? Do you think that if you bleed me, those barbarians will smell blood and leave? The above words are scolding the Maned Wolf family, but in fact, Bob Roth has a good relationship with Fernando Maned Wolf.

Fernando Maned Wolf has become the first deputy head of the Maned Wolf Knights since he broke through to the high-ranking knights 3 years ago.

The leader of the regiment is Count Maned Wolf, the first deputy leader is Fernando Maned Wolf, the second deputy leader is a high-ranking knight in charge of training, and the third deputy leader is Chromy Red Dragon, whose surname is the royal family name of the Dragon Kingdom.

The Maned Wolf Count intermarried with the Red Dragon family and invited a nephew of the Red Dragon to serve as the deputy head of the Knights' external liaison as a gesture of favor to the royal family.

Since Bob started large-scale smuggling 7 years ago, he is well aware of the dangers of eating alone, so every time he goes to Maned Wolf City, he will give Fernando Maned Wolf a share.

Fernando Maned Wolf naturally accepted Bob's overtures, so in Bob's opinion, Maned Wolf City acquiesced in his business.

Not only Fernando Maned Wolf, but also Cronie, Count Maned Wolf's butler, and the captain in charge of the city's defenses often receive Bob's favors.

"Are these bastards blinded by the gold coins, thinking that I can just go to the plains and lead a horse to Mane Wolf City and sell it?"

"Father?"

"Every time I go out of the caravan, you have to share, my iron armor can only be sold to you at a low price, my black-scaled horse you always want to keep the best, I take the frost wolf family into the plains, you are more uncomfortable than the frost wolf into your castle.

Now that I have money, I actually stood by and watched when the barbarians invaded, and the barbarians released my blood, and they wouldn't feed it to you! Bob was furious now.

People are always like this, they seem so justified when they sacrifice others, and they even feel that the person being sacrificed is not very sensible.

When you are sacrificed, you will feel that the whole world has betrayed you.

"Tell the barbarian downstairs that these things will be delivered to the galloping horse territory in 3 days" Bob handed the list to his son, "Let all the knights gather at the castle, these barbarians are not so easy to eat, we have to let them learn to keep their promises"

"Yes, Father"

。。。。。。。。

In a small inn in Maned Wolf City, two young men are drinking in a guest room.

"Everything is going according to the Chief's plan, the Barony of the Galloping Horse has been emptied, and the next step for the Grey Goose will definitely be to eat Rot. Maned wolves who watch their men be wiped out by the barbarians will be punished by the dragon and the Empire. These two territories will be the meat of the plate for the chief in the multi-party game"

"It's just two border territories, and every year they live on a little bit of smuggled salt and iron, and the real thing is to guard the Kornico Pass."

"Yes, the Chief took down Rot, and he closed the door to Kornico. At that time, you can send people to explore the Night Qi City, as long as you can restore the magic circle in the Night Qi City. ”

"Then the temple front division will become the master of the night qi and own the entire galloping horse plain!"

"At that time, Night Kirk City will become a stage for civilian mages and knights"

"Brother, just rely on you as a senior mage, you will definitely be able to get a bigger stage, and when the time comes, brother, you have to think about me."

"No, aren't you the chief's fellow disciple?"

"What a fellow disciple, when he was studying under Master Zhuoqin, I was still a child. By the time I joined Master Zhuoqin, the chief had already entered the front division of the palace. ”

"Eh, then you are also the same family, at least in the eyes of us outsiders, you are brothers."

"What, I'm just an intermediate mage, and I was only an apprentice among the master's mage disciples, and now I'm afraid I don't even have a chance to break through to the advanced level."

"How could it be, once the Imperial Front Division takes the Night Qi City, we, the mid-level mages, will have a chance to break through upwards"

"Come, let's do it for the sake of the night qi"

"Cheers"

"You're going to the Brown Bear tomorrow, and I'm going to the salt mine too, let's take care of it, and we'll see you in Night Qicheng in the future."

"Take care of yourself, too"

。。。。。。。。。。。。。

By the time the grey goose leader saw Viscount Lot's list of supplies, it was already hours later.

"Looks like the Terran kid said, the Maned Wolf won't save Rot," the Grey Goose leader smiled, which was very consistent with the information he had gotten earlier.

"I'm still worried, is your plan too risky? On Terran territory, their fighting spirit is stronger than our iron armor and war horses. "It was the priest of the Grey Goose tribe who spoke, and this sacrifice was similar to that of an intermediate priest

"Don't worry, before taking Rott Castle, Count Maned Wolf will not react, and even if we take it, he will only hide behind the stone castle in the east with a large group of knights and find a way to scare us"

"The old maned wolf used to be a silver knight"

"But he's not anymore, I received news that this old wolf was cursed by a strong man a few years ago when he was chasing fame and fortune, and he hasn't been good yet. As long as he dares to come out and fight me"

"We're going to stir up the curse on him? But then our horses will not be able to fly over the stone walls."

"Who said I was going to jump over the walls to fight them? There are so many noble lords under the maned wolf around him, so isn't it easy for me to go to these little nobles' homes as guests?"

"So you want to hold back the main force of the maned wolf and sweep through other noble territories?"

"Yes, Maned Wolf City should have some magical doorways, and we won't get a bargain if we go.

But as long as the main force of the maned wolf is contained in that Blue Magpie Castle, our cavalry can quickly harvest the territories of 3 or 4 nearby barons and viscounts, and these territories will provide us with at least a hundred slaves, which is what I really like. ”

"Then after we sweep, will the maned wolf directly fight us?"

"No, we don't need to take all the demon bearers and non-demon bearers, we only need to take half of each territory, so that the feudal nobles under the maned wolf will have to return to the territory. The maned wolf has not enough knights in his hands, and he doesn't come back to trouble us. ”

。。。。。。。。。。

In the face of the upcoming October of 996, everyone had their own plans, and they all had new plans because of Rand's actions.
