"Lant Galloping Horse! Don't forget that it was me who promised to let your caravan come to Kirislav to do business, and it was my knights who protected them in the forest. If you think these are unnecessary, then let's leave. Let’s see!”
In the communication room, Lant looked at Larzan, who was both strong on the outside and hard on the other. He wanted to laugh but did not dare to laugh, "Your Majesty, please allow me to give you three reasons. If after what I have said, you still feel that the wolf is a threat to you, then I'll make sure she doesn't appear in the forest."
Larzan gasped and held it in for a long time before saying, "Speak!"
"First of all, to the west of your territory is the Frostwolf Forest, and to the west of the Frostwolf Forest is the Galloping Horse Plains. Now the Galloping Horse Plains are already part of the Human Empire. If the entire forest is now included in Kirislav's territory, then you Earl of Border Development, where is the so-called border?
The white owl leader of the giant dragon heading south? Galloping horse territory to the west? Or the polar regions in the north? Without developing aristocratic status, your army will have to be cut by at least 1/3, and taxes will increase by 40%. Are you ready? "
Lant's first reason directly hit the part that Larzan was most concerned about.
"Second, if your Majesty made a wish to hand over the entire Frostwolf Forest to you, of course I think this is very possible, but why did he send his sixth son to the westernmost barony? Why did he just start the attack? At that time, all those dispatched were the Kingdom Knights?"
Larzan stopped talking and blinked to signal Lant to continue.
"So, it is in your best interest to keep the Frostwolf Forest in an open status. After all, the west side of the Galloping Horse Plains is the orc basin and the central forest, which can always be opened up. I don't need to be close to the border on both sides.
So in this case, I need a stable east, that is, there needs to be a leader who can control the overall situation in the Frostwolf Forest. This is the reason why I support the Frostwolf.
She is the favored one of the Ancient God of Life and the leader of the Wolf Barbarian tribe, but more importantly, she can compromise with the human race. For example, last night, if it were other monsters, you might still be healing. Of course, and more importantly, she never intends to live in your castle or become a human lord. "
Although she may live in my palace now, Lant added in his heart.
"It sounds good, but I suffered a huge failure in front of the Sixth Prince. What do you think my Majesty will think of me when he finds out?" Larzan didn't know why the kingdom stopped developing the Frostwolf Forest in the previous stage. The nominal reason for the kingdom is that a large number of monsters have appeared in the northern part of the country, and troops from the west are needed to return to the country.
"So, Count, how do you need me to cooperate?"
"I need that wolf to come again with her frost wolf in front of the Sixth Prince and be repelled by me." Although the earl's anger had subsided, his voice was still very loud.
"Yes, but Earl, I want to remind you that she is a dependent of the Ancient God of Life. If you kill her in the forest, you may not end well."
About 10 minutes later, Larzan in the magic mirror closed the screen with satisfaction. Lant agreed to let Tottapala accompany him in acting, while Larzan agreed to maintain a private deal with Lant and did not officially recognize Tottapala. Pa's forest co-ownership.
"Sir, it's really... hard work." The little red bird in the ruins of Yeqi City acted as a signal relay and listened to the entire meeting.
"Don't you think it's strange? Why do I still give in even though Tutthapala has won?" Lant said expressionlessly, "Because creating a stable external environment is more valuable than defeating neighbors all at once. I don’t have more energy to focus on the East now. If I want to ensure stability, not only should I slap Larzan loudly, but the candy I give him must also be sweet enough.”
…
"In order to completely eliminate the bandits on the eastern border of the kingdom and ensure the safety of the Six Princes in their exploration, on the morning of July 19th, the Earl of the western part of the kingdom, the commander-in-chief of the Frostwolf Forest Development, and the Golden Knight Larzan Cattrall personally led the western border army to attack across the board to clear the area. The monsters and barbarians in the eastern part of the Frostwolf Forest, the magisters Belikov, Sornov and Katatova of the western earldom respectively attacked. The western nobles all mobilized to send troops, and Prince Durosun also participated in the battle.
On the battlefield, Count Larzan took the lead and set an example. Together with many magisters, he fought back a pack of frost wolves that had been ravaging the forest for several months and harassing the border many times. He captured many monsters and greatly maintained the stability of the border. .
Various nobles in the west led their troops to encircle and suppress many orc gangs, laying a further foundation for the continued development of the kingdom. Durosong led his soldiers across the entire Frostwolf Forest, delivering the kingdom's supplies and care to the westernmost barony.
It is reported that this war is a key battle for the Western Earldom to expand westward this year. A total of more than 300 knights and more than 50 mages were dispatched across the border, and 5 development strongholds were established. This battle established the prestige of the kingdom and the reputation of the Knights. Determination has created stability and prosperity in the West. "
On the afternoon of the 19th, in the Earl's Palace in Blivinoyansk, the capital of the western count of Kirislav, family scholars read aloud a briefing letter to the royal capital.
"Sir, what do you think of this edition?" the scholar who had finished reading the manuscript asked Larzan.
"That's it, just send it to the royal capital and that's it." The earl still stroked his beard, and the ring on his hand made a crisp sound.
In the morning, as agreed, he led his troops out in full force. On the one hand, he wanted to build momentum, and on the other hand, he also wanted to see if he could take advantage.
However, when the forest was surrounded by more than a dozen intermediate frost wolves and more than 50 junior wind wolves, all the high-level people found that they could not mobilize the magic power in the magic network. They could only make literal gestures with the wolves, and then looked at the wolves. The group fled in a whimpering manner, leaving behind the corpses of the monsters on the ground, which was regarded as the result of their victory.
"Sir, we didn't get any advantage this time," the scholar sighed. "The strength of that galloping horse has expanded too fast. He was just a barbarian leader half a year ago, but now he can compete with you."
"Don't underestimate the barbarians, especially the barbarians with the fairy queen." There was a rumor in Kirislav recently that a powerful fairy queen had just arrived in the royal capital of Nikolagrad to have a fight with the fairy queen of the royal capital. Secret talks, and the new queen comes from Yeqi City.
"You mean, that Earl of Lant... really exists?" Before the scholar could finish speaking, the messenger ran in from the porch.
"Earl, the Royal Capital wants to inquire about your plan to expand westward," the messenger said anxiously, "The Royal Capital says that Queen Onayeva Momai wants you to report in person!"
"It seems that the rumors are true. Do you want to use this manuscript?" The scholar looked at the count who was walking outside and asked.
"No, I have to tell the truth to the queen. We will not get involved in the Frostwolf Forest. Let the Sixth Prince worry about the future development." The Earl walked toward the porch anxiously.
