Chapter 382: Visitors to the Manor (20)
The officers' eyes looked to the other side, there were Yelena and Menshak and some mountain warriors, their skin was dark, and their faces and hair colors were slightly different from those of the Sver Kingdom, and when Leon said that he had subdued the mountain tribe of the Bronze Helmet Mountains, the officers of the garrison immediately reacted - these people should be mountain people, and the two people in front of them were obviously the leaders of the group.
The harassment of the mountain people has been going on for nearly a hundred years, and no one has been able to really wipe them out. On the one hand, because the Bronze Helmet Mountain Range is too big, especially the Wolf's Kiss Forest is still full of all kinds of unknown dangers, and I don't know how many mountain people live in the depths of the forest, so although there are many powerful lords in the several territories bordering it, they are not willing to go too deep.
On the other hand, the combat effectiveness of the mountain people is not low, and they are very grouped, especially in the mountains and forests, their whereabouts are very strange, and it is difficult to find out the law of their appearance, so every time they encounter mountain people on the plains, they are generally driven back, and the most else is prevention, and eradication cannot be done.
If it was a regular legion, there would be no problem in going deep into the forest to eliminate these mountain people, but the borders of the kingdom were not stable, the elite legions were all waiting near the northern and western borders, and the other legions also had their own priorities, so how could they waste time, energy, and money to deal with this "small matter"? In addition, in recent years, the harassment of the mountain people has become less and less, so the attention of the mountain people has decreased a little.
As officers of the border guard, these people have heard many times about what the mountain people have done, so after hearing Li Ang's words, they immediately felt a pang in their hearts, and they couldn't guess how much strength this young lord was hiding in the dark, and it was estimated that it was much more than these people who were exposed in front of them, otherwise it would be impossible to do these uncivilized barbarians in one fell swoop.
As for the repulsion of the southern frontier several times...... Of course, they knew better than the others, so it seemed that the information reported by Deputy Commander Luther was not a fabrication, nor did it add fuel to the fire, and it was strange that those rude and brainless natives could beat such a lord. And this matter is not known to the border guard, by now the news should have reached the royal capital, and has appeared on the desks of many important people in the royal capital, if the royal family is not bedridden because His Majesty is sick, it is very likely that they will be interested in the descendants of the Earl of Darren, and the situation of the border guard will be very unfavorable at that time.
Especially the affairs of Fort Edward, these officers are also well aware, if Li Ang really wants to find out about this matter, with the officers' understanding of Li Ang, he can't just publicize it so simply, nine times out of ten, he will add oil and vinegar, and the big people in the royal capital attach great importance to border security, otherwise it would be impossible to agree with His Majesty the King to canonize a paladin who is straightforward and offended many nobles as the lord of Campbell.
So, you can imagine how they will react when they hear the news.
Even the people in the border guard who wanted to deal with Leon were big men, and it was said that there were several more powerful nobles standing behind him, but once that kind of thing came to light...... It's hard to say what the impact will be and what will follow.
In addition to these, Leon's other sentence also inadvertently cut to a key point in the current political situation of the kingdom, that is, the serious illness of His Majesty the King.
When the king fell seriously ill, everyone from the powerful families to the ordinary citizens was extremely concerned about the king's illness, and the political situation of the whole kingdom fell into a certain stagnation, and some key figures were able to see the real situation of the kingdom on the surface - seemingly calm on the surface, but underneath the dark tide was turbulent.
The reason is that the princes and the princes and the grand dukes behind them have fought openly and secretly, and this kind of struggle has even spread all over the world and has become the topic of all kinds of people, and if these topics continue to ferment in the mouths of the people, it will have an impact on the stability of the entire kingdom.
In this form, some big shots need something to divert everyone's attention. As Leon said, the sudden rise of a "young and promising field aristocrat" is likely to become one of their choices, and if Leon really wants to fight the border guard to the end, it will be a "grand event" for the people who do good things and the upper-class nobles who have their own plans, which may be good for Leon's reputation, but it has dragged the border guard into a quagmire.
Therefore, the words that Leon whispered in their ears made the officer's heart sink downward.
"This kid is like a different person...... It's completely different from all the previous intelligence narratives!"
The officer was angry in his heart, but he refused to give up in his mouth, and said viciously: "Count Leon, facts are facts, no one can deny them, what will happen in the end, I believe that all wise people will make their choice!"
"Count Leon, it's useless to talk more, we'll meet again in the future!
With that last sentence, the officers strode out and got into their carriage and drove straight out of the manor, where they would then report the matter to the Border Guard Headquarters and what the Border Guard Headquarters would react to was unknown.
However, Li Ang doesn't care too much about this, what he did today will definitely be known by all kinds of people in the royal capital in a short period of time, since some people want to target him, then there must be other people who want to win him over, the garrison is not monolithic, and it is impossible for the powerful forces in the royal capital to twist into one, and the truth that the enemy of the enemy is a friend is estimated to be common in this world.
So Li Ang turned back refreshedly and said to the two nobles who were still looking at the scenery: "You two have been waiting for a long time, Jeff, you prepare, I will have a banquet for these guests at noon." ”
Campbell's manager was in high spirits, but his "kitchen" was close to the table, so Duncan finally knew that Jeff was the "chef" who cooked the delicious table.
Duncan's eyes lit up, and before he could speak, Leon's voice came again.
"Mr. Duncan, it's breakfast, and it's already cold, so you might as well wait a little longer, and soon there will be a richer luncheon for you to enjoy. ”
Duncan smiled, put the knife and fork on the table, and said with a rather expectant look: "It's good that I didn't eat much just now, otherwise I would have regretted dying!"
"If I had known that these delicacies were cooked by the Lord, whoever dared to bully you would have told me and watched me break his hand!"
This made everyone laugh and cry, and then Duncan leaned back in his chair and said lazily, "Lord Leon, if there is such a rich food every day, I would simply like to stay here...... The scenery is good again...... The food is good...... Simply ......"
Duncan's voice grew quieter and quieter, and before he could finish a sentence, it turned into a subtle snoring, and he fell asleep.
