In the castle on the south slope of Iowa Pass, Pete Maned Wolf has been counting the difficulties of managing more than 4,000 teams. It is much more difficult to describe than the Galloping Horse Knights defeating the Skaven Legion.
Laniya frowned a little after listening to her husband's words, but she did not expose him. In her opinion, this was a problem she had been facing every day these years, and she didn't know what to complain about.
Rant looked at Peter with a smile and then at Lanya, probably knowing what was going on.
Although Peter Maned Wolf could call all the shots in the salt mine, since the liberation of the salt mine, he has become Laniya's gift and bodyguard.
Now he is watching his old friends from the salt mines, Alf Fatt, Kenan Doyles and others, become high-level knights one by one. However, he indulges in drinking and sex every day and wants to improve his knight level, but he can't do it. Go, I want to change my career to be a consul, but I can't even lead an immigration team, so I am naturally full of bitterness.
"Pete, you are a knight who has been following me since the salt mines," Lant waved, interrupting the knight, "Now many junior knights at that time have become intermediate, and Neil, for example, has reached senior level. Yes, you used to be a senior knight, why can't you recover?"
"Sir, I..." Peter scratched his head, embarrassed to continue. Back then, he was the knight with the most wives in the salt mine. Later, before occupying the iron mine, he relied on his status as an intermediate knight and the number of times he had been there to The opportunity to run errands in Maned Wolf City 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 hesitating whether to dedicate Lanya to Rand in exchange for glory and wealth. However, Peter himself also understands that according to Lant's personal style, he would have wanted to leave Lanya long ago. Well, if a high-ranking lord wants a non-demon woman, should he be polite to a mid-level knight?
But Peter didn't understand either. Why did Lant still keep her by his side when he valued Lanya so much?
Laniya on the side looked at Peter hesitating, and simply said directly: "Sir, Peter is actually best suited for liaison work. He has served as the deputy head of the Knights before, and he understands the hearts of small and medium-sized nobles very well."
Laniya's words made Lant laugh even harder. In terms of titles, the Golden Knights Yavini Jinyue and Peter Maned Wolf are both deputy captains, but there is a huge gap between them in terms of ability and vision. Simply heaven and earth.
If Yawenni understands the intrigues between the big nobles, Peter also understands the little thoughts of some small and medium-sized nobles.
"You are right, I will try to find a more suitable job for you," Lant gestured and asked Peter to leave the meditation room. However, when he opened the door, Knight Danico was already standing outside.
"Sir, my deputy Jim has some ideas about the auxiliary army and hopes to report to you directly!" After Danico entered the room, he looked at Lant and Laniya in the room and said respectfully.
"Oh? I remember that he was the steward of East 1 Station before, right?" Lant said with great interest, "Let him come in, and we will listen to what suggestions the managers of the auxiliary army will have. .”
…
On the evening of the 30th, in the reception room of Padmila Palace in Yeqi City, Yavini Jinyue stood next to Lant, and opposite him were the Paladins Bert Call and Alexei Zhuoqin. .
In the middle of the four people was a large magic-sealing box. After Rant opened it, a white high-grade rat head was revealed.
"Knight Bert, this is my tribute to His Majesty. Please ask Him to witness Yeqi City's first victory against the Orc Royal Court!"
In Lant's hand, he took out the royal flag and official document issued by the Orc Royal Court to the Rat Man Tribe. "It has the seal of the Orc Royal Court on it, which is enough to prove that this is the Orc Royal Court's attack on the Galloping Horse Plains."
"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 that I will personally present these two items to Your Majesty. Lord Lant is willing to give His Majesty such a tribute first, which shows that you A model of imperial nobility!”
Bert and Alexey were very satisfied with Lant's actions, and the magic crystal on the head of the huge high-level magic rat was not removed. This undoubtedly represented respect for the God Emperor.
After the guests of the imperial capital left, a junior knight entered the room outside the main entrance of the living room, and Peter Maned Wolf and Jim were also called in from behind another door.
"Earl Lant, salute you!" Kevin Elk entered with a smile. The eldest son of Viscount Elk of the Northwest Earldom did not understand why Earl Lant, who was also considered popular in the royal capital, invited him here.
"Knight Kevin, you are well. I hope it did not delay your participation in the dance in the royal capital." Lant said with a smile.
Since Lant arranged a block for the nobles in the northwest, other families except the Baron of the Wild Bear Territory have sent their heirs. It is far more convenient to go from Yeqi City to the Royal Capital and the Imperial Capital than the portal in Maned Wolf City. , and the management of Yeqi City is more disciplined than that of Earl Maned Wolf, and there is no entry fee here.
"No, no, the count is willing to meet me despite his busy schedule. I'm so happy that it's not too late!" Although Kevin is glib, 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. I should have paid them back with old grain," Lant said very easily. That was the agreement he and Kevin reached in March, when the Elk Viscount family wanted to buy Black-scaled horses and iron armor, and paid with old grain.
However, it had only been less than 5 months, and all the old grain in the Southern Marquis Territory and the Southern Kingdom had been bought up by the nobles of the imperial capital. The Elk family still owed less than 200 gold coins in grain that had not been shipped.
"Sir, the debt between our family and you is not much anymore. We can settle it directly with cash." Kevin didn't know why Lant called him back from the capital specifically for this little money, so he could only express that he would pay it directly. Pay back the money.
"Knight Kevin, don't be so anxious. I heard that there are many free people hiding in the Southern Marquis Territory and the Lizard Forest to our south?"
"Sir, do you want to buy some Demonless slaves from the south?" As Lant asked, Kevin's face showed a smile.
"Then you have found the right person. There are indeed large and small settlements of humans, half-elves and half-orcs hidden in the Lizard Forest south of Elk City. The so-called free people in these settlements have very thin blood, and there may not be any in the entire tribe. They are like beasts, and a random monster can destroy the entire settlement."
