In the winter of 555 Bran Gregorian calendar, the tribes of the Northern Wilderness officially attacked the Bran border. Within two days, a gap was made from the Cangyan Legion's front and quickly occupied a mountain checkpoint. At this point, the flames of war spread to all sides......

This is almost a fixed routine for every large-scale attack of the Northern Wilderness tribe, and it has been tried and tested repeatedly. The reason for this is naturally that Bran's border is too long and too difficult to defend.

Of course, every fixed routine will have the same ending, that is, the Northern Barbarians will eventually be driven out of the Bran border, the difference is only the length of time.

Therefore, the people of Bran did not care much about the outcome of the war, and if the time ended quickly, the people of the south would not even know. It may only be the people in the north who suffer, and the war is fought not only by soldiers, but also by national strength. So during this period, they will have to pay more taxes. If you accidentally run into some barbarians who have wandered through the defense line, it will almost be an ironclad slaughter of the village.

These news, the gray-clothed army in the hinterland of the 100,000 mountains naturally did not know. So they were all surprised by the sudden turn in the form of the negotiation and celebrated the hard-won gains.

Although the legion camp was still there, the main generals and most of the soldiers in it had already set off for their respective legions. As for the lord soldiers in the valley in front, they have also returned to their respective lord fiefs. The negotiations were over, and they weren't worried that the Grey Army would do something backsliding, after all, it would serve no purpose other than to provoke the Empire and provoke a more ferocious blow.

For several days, piles of materials were piled up from the rear in an orderly manner. Grain, flour, quilts, armor, weapons, and even a few boxes of blasting crystals......

Finally, in the early morning of the fourth day after the end of the negotiations, Losha and the others set out with the glazed-eyed aristocratic youths to the intermediate junction between the garrison and the legion camp.

At this time, at the gate of the station, a small farewell was being staged.

"Haha, I'm so touched, everyone actually sent me en masse!"

"Ugh. It's training time, so ...... You know. ”

"Rub!"

“haha......”

It was none other than the members of the Grey Space and Philip who gathered here.

The negotiations have ended and the exchange has begun. When this is done, the Grey Army will set off again to find a new hidden station. Although Philip has lived here very steadily these days, he has also established friendships with Don and David. But after all, the identity is there, so it is naturally not suitable to move forward with everyone.

"Naw. Once we got acquainted, I helped you a lot, invited you to eat a lot of meat, and then ......" joked, and Philip suddenly began to talk about his contribution with his fingers in a serious way.

Everyone looked at each other, and Zuihou David said impatiently: "Stop, what do you want to say?"

Philip bowed solemnly: "So please be sure to help me watch Josia, if there is any kid who doesn't open his eyes, don't be polite to ......"

Everyone instantly blackened. Tang En said in a slightly surprised tone: "What's the use of helping you see it, we basically won't have an intersection in the future, right?"

This is the truth, Philip is also the name of the negotiation team, so after the side negotiations, he has to go back to the south to report. This is undoubtedly a far cry from the gray army that will be transferred later.

"I'm here for others to watch. Forget it, avoid the guards stealing yourself......" Philip glanced at and said unceremoniously.

Don touched his nose, and then Philip raised an eyebrow. showed a mysterious smile: "Who said that there is no intersection, maybe we will have more opportunities to meet in the future...... Ha, I'm leaving! If you go to Bran one day. Just report my name and make sure you go all the way, eating, drinking and having fun. ”

Leaving behind the rather intriguing words, Philip jumped into the carriage and left.

"Tsk, it seems that the nobles are not all annoying. David sighed.

"Go, hurry up, I'm going to be in time to say goodbye to Goddess Josia!" there was a faint call from the carriage.

“...... I'll take back that sentence!"

Tang En nodded expressionlessly, and then said, "Let's go, let's go and scout the surroundings." ”

Although the legionnaires have now withdrawn, the Grey Coats are not careless, and no one knows if this will be a ploy - for example, after they happily leave with their supplies, they will be surrounded halfway.

Therefore, the gray army sent all the scouts out and swept dozens of kilometers around. As for Donn's participation, it is purely to train the new players. At the same time, by the way, observe whether there is a suitable address around.

............

At 9 o'clock in the morning, after checking the types and quantities of items, and waiting for the scouts to report correctly. The Grey Army and the old nobles officially completed the transaction like a bandit, handing over goods with one hand and people with the other......

There were no surprises and the exchange was completed quickly.

Naturally, the two sides had nothing to say hello to, and after sending away Philip who had left Dead Skin and Josia, the Grey Army rushed back to the garrison in a carriage full of supplies.

Half an hour later, the Grey Army set off and evacuated the original site.

............

"Haha, so many things. Aunt Losha, this food alone is enough for us for a few months. Josia looked at the mountains behind him, and the soldiers had to push the carriages that could only move forward, and couldn't help but open his mouth without any image.

Losha nodded in joy and was about to say something, but was interrupted by a burst of heroic laughter.

"Haha, our little Losha, this is not just food, with these equipment, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers will also be raised to a higher level. The old general said with a smile on his face.

The Grey Soldiers were limited in knowledge, and it was undoubtedly difficult for them to improve tactically. But now with these armor cloaks, at least in terms of force, it is not as bad as before.

"Ah--old General Ormon, you laugh at me again. Josia cried out, then bit her lip.

It was only after the negotiations in the past few days that she found out about the news circulating in the station. When Josia first found out, she was apprehensive except for the joy of being affirmed. She admires Losha and Don the most, and now she is undoubtedly ashamed to get the title of Little Losha.

The old general shook his head, and said, "Haha, how can this be ridiculed? This is a very high compliment! Besides, this is the collective name of the gray-clothed army, and you deserve it!"

If it were an ordinary leader, he would probably be wary of something at this time, but Luo Sha pursed his lips and smiled on the side.

Rumors suddenly appeared in the station. There is also a shadow of her. After talking to Don en that time, Losha was ready to help Josia as the hero of the Gray Army, and letting her join the negotiation team was the first step, and the follow-up publicity was naturally rolled out.

Now it seems that the results are surprisingly good. Josia's performance for several months has been seen by everyone. That aristocracy, which was supposed to be an obstacle, has now become an uncompromising driving force. Plus that noble and mysterious mage profession. It adds convincing strength. Therefore, after this opportunity, the reputation will naturally rise infinitely.

Josia was teased by the old general Oumeng and became more and more embarrassed, and immediately changed the topic: "Aunt Losha, when Philip left, Weishenme told me that there were still many opportunities to meet with the Gray Army?"

Luo Sha raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "What, now I think of that guy?" Well, although he is a nobleman, he is indeed quite handsome. What's more, he boldly showed his love!"

"......" Josia opened her mouth, speechless. She suddenly realized that her ability to change the subject did not seem to be good.

Philip ...... Maybe we'll see each other more often in the future. Luo Sha accepted it when he saw it, and his tone suddenly became a little more excited.

Josia secretly breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly asked, "Weishenme?"

"Well, do you know the group of new nobles?"

"Ugh. Know. Josia was stunned for a moment, then nodded in response.

Most of the nobles of the kingdom of Bran were heroes who had been instrumental in the development of the kingdom with Emperor Bran I, either for their military achievements or for their financial help. So after the empire was really built. Each received the reward they deserved.

These families have developed for many years, and the shili are intricate and terrifying, and now those powerful ministers in the royal court. Basically, they all come from these families.

After that, many new nobles were knighted for various merits. But when they tried to climb the pyramid of power, they found that it had already been scraped clean and there was no place to stand. This will undoubtedly make them very dissatisfied, and so the conflict arises.

This contradiction was almost irreconcilable, and for this reason the two sides engaged in a fierce struggle. The old aristocrats called these new aristocrats nouveau riche, and similarly, the new aristocrats called each other old moths. He only knows how to grab everything, but does not contribute to the development of the empire.

The battle between the two can be said to have a long history, and in general, the old nobles are in the upper hand, after all, they occupy the upper echelons of the empire, and the background is also deeper.

"Could it be that Philip is ......," Josia said hesitantly.

It's no wonder that he reacted like this, but Philip didn't have a straight shape all day, and it looked really unreliable.

"That's good!" Losha nodded, "Philip is the representative of the new aristocracy, and he should still be of a high status." He talked to me the other day about the concept of the new nobles, well, there are some things in common with our Grey Army......"

"Aunt Narosa promised to join the new nobles?" asked Josia urgently.

"How could it be. Luo Sha shook his head and smiled dumbly, "This is just a preliminary contact, and he is just laying a foreshadowing." Unless the strength of our gray army has made great progress and has a certain right to speak. And at that time, we will not join, but cooperate! ”

It's realistic, but it's true. Because the new nobles do not have an advantage in overall strength, they will naturally seek allies in all aspects, but allies must also have weight, and it is natural not to hold back.

If the Grey Army has a certain strength, then the new nobleman Shili doesn't mind pulling it in. That's right, the idea of the Grey Army is to raise the status of commoners and conflict with the nobility. But all they need is for the Greys to enter politics and give them support on the parliamentary ballot. So at least in the beginning, they have a common interest. That's it, that's enough!

"Why? you don't seem to like the new nobles?" asked Losha with a smile.

Josia hesitated, and finally said, "I think the nobility is unreliable......"

"You nobleman...... But in this respect, the nobles are really unpopular, and we have a lot to do, haha!" Luo Sha laughed, and then said solemnly, "It's not reliable, it doesn't matter much, if we cooperate, then we just take what we need." ”

Just as the new nobles need allies, the Grey Army also needs help, and if this group of new nobles is in a critical situation, their chances of success will undoubtedly be higher.

"Well, I see!" Josia nodded, though she was still a little worried, but Losha undoubtedly knew more than she did. Besides, that was a long time later, and it's just a matter of thinking about it now.
