By the time Nadarz saw Leicester again, it was already the next day.
Appearing in the conference hall with Lester was the bright and beautiful Ms. Rose.
Just two people appearing at the same time, Nadarz saw a lot of things,
Now that Lester has the support of the Black Rose, he is no longer a little person who can be manipulated by himself when he had no foundation before, not to mention that the other party has just made great achievements.
And judging from that hug alone, this man couldn't be wrong.
"Haha, I have already heard from Ultraman about the tactics used to deal with the Beheaded Bandit Group and the Mostak Ubol barbarians. The Lester brothers are worthy of being remnants of ancient times. They have the warfare techniques of laying traps, running through the night, and assassinating. The mastery of using it is really impressive. I was right to hand over the Noxian levy army to you. We can learn to use such tactics in the future."
Nadarzi, who had completely given up his thoughts on Rose, was also open-minded. Faced with a talent like Lester, the head of the Roxy clan decided to use gentle methods to win over him.
With a Noxian military salute, Lester avoided the topic of the ancient remnants.
"Sir Nadarz, the key is the command of Ultraman Centurion. I just made a small suggestion. The victory belongs to all the soldiers of the Noxus levy army, not to me alone."
"Don't be modest. Noxus has only been a country for a year. Everything is being explored slowly. Noxus still has many challenges to accept.
Of course I won’t bury your great achievements. Tell me what you think. My suggestion is that you can join the Noxus Legion and start as a centurion. When you make great contributions again, you can naturally be promoted. Being a captain of thousands is a bit underwhelming given your ability. I believe you will soon become a great general of Noxus. "
Hearing the enthusiastic Nadarz say this, Rose's eyes became a little more smiley.
How could the man he had chosen to be his subordinate choose to be Nadarz's subordinate.
"Lord Nadarz, if possible, I would like to be a pioneer lord of Noxus and establish my own territory on the western border."
There was nothing to hide. After discussing it with Rose, Lester told the truth directly.
After a pause, Nadarz took a deep look at Lester and Rose. His tone was no longer as eager as before and became a little salty.
"Oh? Brother Lester, you want to say, raise a team from Noxus and then go out independently?"
"It's not about going out independently. My territory is naturally the territory of Noxus. My territory will exist as a vassal of Noxus.
The most important thing is that the location I chose to open up is not within the territory of Noxus. "
Hearing what Lester said, Nadarz became somewhat interested.
If it is not to 'open up' from the existing territory of Noxus, then it would not be a bad idea to let the Black Rose support the other party in developing an independent territory for Noxus that is nominally Noxus.
The territory of Noxus is too large, but the population is too small. Even the tribes and legions cannot gather a thousand people. There is no harm in having an independent territory belonging to Noxus.
No matter what, I won't suffer any loss.
"Tell me, where do you want to develop?"
Lester came directly to the simplified map of Valoran hanging on the wall and pointed to the west of the Noxus Immortal Fortress, a plain guarded by mountains.
"The Knockmooch Plain is my goal. I will establish a territory there as a border to defend Demacia."
"Between the Shining Silver Mountains and the Urus Mountains? That place is indeed not the territory of Noxus. It has been occupied by the Mombia tribe. It is said that they are preparing to build a place called 'Nokmoch' City-states, recently building walls.”
After pondering for a moment, Nadarz touched his beard and weighed the gains and losses.
Seeing that Nadarz still refused to agree, Rose said with a smile.
"Lester discussed this matter with me yesterday. After defeating the Mombia tribe, he established a territory in the Nokmochi Plains. In the future, he will only expand to the west. The Roxi tribe will still be in the east of the Valoran Plains. territory,
Not only will Leicester not hinder the development of Noxus, he will also send reinforcements or support materials when Noxus needs it, and carry out trade with Noxus. His territory can also serve as a basis for Noxus to conquer in the future. Demacia's springboard allowed the Noxian army to approach Demacia's city.
For you, Mr. Nadarz, except for allowing Lester to recruit troops and prepare materials for development in the Immortal Fortress in the early stage, this is a cost-effective business.
One more independent kingdom of Noxus is much more cost-effective than one more Nocmoch who builds high walls every day to defend against Noxus, isn't it? I think the wise and powerful Lord Nadarz will definitely understand this. "
Although he was a little moved by the future prospects described by Rose, Nadarz understood that this matter was of great significance and that he could not make a decision at will, so he spoke.
"Ms. Rose is indeed right. The Mombia tribe has been hostile to Noxus for more than a day or two. They should let them know how powerful Noxus is...but this matter is of great importance. We need to discuss with the elders and Lord Standal before we can make a decision..."
The outer city barracks of the Immortal Fortress.
The Noxian Expeditionary Force was disbanded, and the veterans listlessly obeyed the arrangements and returned to their patrol posts in the Immortal Bastion.
Most of the Noxians who had originally raised the army chose to disband and go home. No matter how fierce Leicester fought, it was not as tempting as the relatives waiting for him at home.
A small number of Noxians who have no family or are unwilling to go home because of their keen sense of smell. Those Noxians who want to follow Lester and make great achievements are found in various parts of the military camp with the Noxian Black Iron Guard and the paralyzed people from North Noel Village. Staying temporarily, waiting for arrangements from Leicester.
Except for a few Black Iron Guard soldiers, most of the soldiers are 'orphans' or 'pseudo-orphans' carefully selected by Leicester, and naturally they will not have family ties.
The person in charge of splitting up the expeditionary force was none other than Centurion Ultraman. He was unwilling to sour the relationship with his comrades who had just fought side by side, so he had no choice but to let these "fanatics" who listened to the tune but not the propaganda and only obeyed Lester. Or "depressed and paralyzed" and "illegal gatherings" on the training ground every day.
If it weren't for his duties as a Centurion, even Ultraman would have wanted to quit the Noxian Army and follow Lester, so naturally he would not embarrass these outstanding soldiers who were attracted by Lester.
"Aha!!"
A sword hit the hard wooden figure and made a small dent. The sweat on Margaret's forehead fell down. The blond girl with a single ponytail had a determined look and raised her already aching arms. Raise the long sword and slash with all your strength.
"ha!!"
This time, the cutting position returned to the wooden man's thick neck. Ever since she followed Lester and defeated the Beheaded Bandits, the girl liked to chop at this position more and more.
"Sister Margaret?"
Hearing the soft voice coming from behind her, the girl wiped her sweat and turned around to look at the two hesitant barbarian sisters.
"Is Lord Leicester really not going to abandon us?"
Sheathing the sword, the blonde girl's voice was as firm as her will to follow Lester.
"Will not."
