In the castle on the southern slope of the Iowa Pass, Pete Maned Wolf has been counting the difficulties of managing more than 4,000 teams, which is much more difficult than the Knights of the Galloping Horse defeating the Ratmen Legion.

Lanya listened to her husband's words, although she frowned a little, but she did not expose him, in her opinion, this is already a problem she has been facing every day all these years, and she doesn't know what to complain about.

Rand looked at Pete with a smile, and then at Lanya, probably knowing what was going on.

Although Pete Maned Wolf can call the wind and rain in the salt mines, since the liberation of the salt mines, he has become Lanya's gift and bodyguard.

Now he is even more seeing that the old buddies in the salt mine in the past, Alf Fat, Kenan Doyles and others have become high-level knights one by one, and he himself is addicted to wine every day, wanting to improve the knight level, but he can't go up, and wants to change his career to become an archon, and he can't even bring an immigration team, so he is naturally full of bitter water.

"Pete, you've been following me since the salt mines," Rand waved and interrupted the knight, "Now a lot of junior knights have become intermediate, like Neil is about to reach the advanced level, you used to be a senior knight, why can't you recover?" ”

"My lord, I'm ......" Pete scratched his head, embarrassed to continue, he was the knight with the most wives in the salt mine back then, and before he occupied the iron mine, he relied on his status as an intermediate knight and the opportunity to go to Mane Wolf City a few times to run errands, and added several more wives.

Now that he lives a life of wives and concubines every day, he naturally has no motivation to practice.

Since last year, he has been hesitant to offer Lania to Lante in exchange for glory and wealth, but Pete himself understands that according to Lante's personal style, if he really wants Lanya to leave, he has long wanted to be a high-ranking leader and a demonless woman, can he be polite to him as a middle-level knight?

But Pete also doesn't understand why Lante keeps her by his side when he values Lannia so much?

Lanya on the side looked at Pete hesitantly, and simply spoke directly: "My lord, Pete is actually the most suitable for liaison work, he used to be the deputy head of the Knights, and he knows very well the hearts of small and medium-sized nobles. ”

Lanya's words made Rand laugh even harder, in terms of title, the Golden Knight Yavini Golden Moon and Pete Maned Wolf are both deputy captains, but the gap between the two is heaven and earth in terms of ability and vision.

If Avenny understands the intrigue between the big nobles, Pete also understands the careful thinking of some small and medium-sized nobles.

"You're right, I'll find a better job for you," Rantt gestured and let Pete out of the meditation room, but when he opened the door, Knight Danico was already standing outside the door.

"My lord, my deputy Jim has some ideas for the auxiliaries, and I hope to report back to you directly!" After Dannico entered the house, he looked at Rand and Lenya in the house, and said respectfully.

"Oh? I remember he used to be the housekeeper of the East 1 Station, right? Rand said with great interest, "Let him in, and we'll hear what advice the administrator of the auxiliary army will have." ”

……

On the evening of the 30th, in the palace of Padmila in the night unicorn city, in the meeting room, Rand stood beside Yavini Jinyue, and opposite him were paladins Bert Kaul and Alexei Drochen.

In the middle of the four people, there was a large sealed magic box, and when Rand opened it, it revealed a white high-grade mouse head.

"Knight Bert, this is my tribute to Your Majesty, please witness the first victory of Night Qi City against the Orc Royal Court!"

Rand took out the imperial flag and official documents issued by the orc royal court to the rat tribe in his hand. "There is the seal of the Orc Royal Court on it, which is enough to prove that this is the attack of the Orc Royal Court on the Galloping Horse Plain."

"Of course," the paladin smiled and nodded, "this is definitely a blatant declaration of war by the orcs against the human race, please rest assured, I will personally present these two things to Your Majesty, Lord Lant is willing to give Your Majesty such a tribute first, which shows that you are a model of the nobility of the Empire!" ”

Bert and Alexei were very satisfied with Rant's actions, and the magic crystal on the head of the huge high-level demon rat was not removed, which undoubtedly represented respect for the God Emperor.

When the guests of the imperial capital left, outside the main entrance of the parlor, a junior knight entered the room, and behind another door, Pete Maned Wolf and Jim were also called in.

"Count Lanter, salute you!" Kevin Elk entered with a smile, the eldest son of the Viscount Elk of the Northwest Earl, who did not understand why Earl Lante, who was also a hot spot in the royal capital, wanted to invite him here.

"Knight Kevin, don't come unharmed, I hope it didn't delay you to attend the ball in the royal capital." Rand said with a smile.

Since Rand arranged a block for the nobles in the northwest, all other families except Baron Wild Bear have sent their heirs, and it is far more convenient to go from Night Qicheng to the royal capital and the imperial capital than the portal in Maned Wolf City, and the management of Night Qicheng is more regular than that of Count Maned Wolf, and there is no entry fee here.

"Where, where, the Earl is willing to see me in his busy schedule, and I am too late to be happy!" Although Kevin is flamboyant, he is the eldest son of the viscount, and he is also measured.

"Knight Kevin, I remember that your family still owes me some gold coins, which should have been returned with old grain," Rand said very easily, it was still the agreement he reached with Kevin in March, when the Elk Viscount's family wanted to buy the black-scaled horse and iron armor, and pay for it with old grain.

However, it has only been less than 5 months, and the old grain of the Southern Marquis and the Southern Kingdom has been bought out by the nobles of the imperial capital, and the Elk family owes Rand less than 200 gold coins of grain that has not been delivered.

"My lord, there is not much left between our family and you, and we can settle it directly in cash." Kevin didn't know why Rand called him back from the royal capital for this money, so he could only say that he would pay back the money directly.

"Knight Kevin doesn't need to be in such a hurry, I heard that there are a lot of freedmen hidden in the Southern Marquisate and the Lizard Forest to the south of us?"

"Your Excellency, you're looking to buy some Demonless slaves from the South, aren't you?" As Rand asked, a smile appeared on Kevin's face,

"Then you have found the right person, the lizard forest south of Elk City does hide large and small human, half-elf and half-orc settlements, the so-called free people in these settlements are thin-blooded, and there is not necessarily a demon supporter in the entire tribe, they are completely like beasts, or any demonic beast can destroy the entire settlement."
