Watching Susie leave, Canine Ya walked up and said with some hesitation: "Sir, I think what she said makes sense. Our relationship with the Feilong family is just like that. Since the Feilong family really supports demons, then You can’t blame us for killing him.”
Lant patted Canine Ya on the shoulder. Apparently most of his confidants thought the same way. However, Lant understood that things were not that simple. The current Longya City is in a highly unstable state of equilibrium. Whoever destroys the balance will be destroyed. Pay a higher price.
"These are two different things. After we supported the Sea Beast Clan last time, the Sea Beast Clan's combat effectiveness has obviously increased. Why was Brejak attacked by dozens of high-level people?"
"Um..." Canine Ya wanted to say something, but didn't know how to say it.
"Because the two sides were originally evenly matched, they had certain expectations about the cost and outcome of the struggle. Once one side breaks the balance, the other side must exert more power to bring the situation back." Rant said, "But both sides have different expectations. As you increase your strength, you increase your losses.”
"As for the war between sea beasts and sea monsters, I am willing to strongly support the sea beasts, because whether it is the human empire, the dragon clan or the elves, almost all land forces maintain a hostile relationship with the ocean. No matter how much I support, they can occupy the moral high ground. ." Lant continued to explain,
"But in Dragon Tooth City, it is impossible for me to invest unlimited resources. Moreover, the relationship between big families is very complicated. The Feilong Family not only has a legendary national pillar, but also has the best mage school in the Dragon Kingdom. The school The magisters inside come from various major families, and I don’t have the energy or need to deal with such a network now.”
Rant is not afraid of getting rid of a demon mentor. What he doesn't want to see is the Feilong family targeting him because of this, especially in such a sensitive period. However, the appearance of Susie Lanyuan and Pax Feilong just now shows that What he worried about had happened.
"This..." Hunya felt dizzy when he heard this. He had never thought that killing a demon would be such a big deal. "Then why don't you communicate with Mr. Bennett?"
This is where Lant has a bigger headache. Among his core subordinates, they are either abandoned by big families or from small families. They have never encountered similar complicated situations.
Lant's worries soon came true. The next morning, Dugan Blue Dragon entered the lord's room in a panic, closed the door and reported quickly:
"The Hyena Gilty's gang was attacked last night. More than a dozen of them were dead and injured, and less than twenty of them left asked to go to Yeqi City to avoid the limelight," Dugan said. , glanced at Lant, waiting for his response.
"Agreed." Lant nodded.
"Didn't you say that you can abandon them at any time?"
Lant said helplessly: "Yes, but giving up itself also has a high cost. I can't give up a human resource for no reason, right?"
"Understood!" Dugan nodded.
After thinking for a while, Lant added: "Let them take the freight channel, don't stop at Yeqi City, and find a quiet inn to rest."
However, Dugan hadn't finished speaking yet: "In addition to them, Gatsby's black market also experienced theft, Emmanuel's mercenary station was set on fire, and someone tried to attack the Naga Drifter here, and was killed by Zhuos They ducked."
"Haha, this is what Lan Yuan wants to see the most," Lant murmured. The purpose of Susie's troubles yesterday was to make the Feilong family think that he was going to fully intervene in the area outside the royal capital and attract the Feilong family's private soldiers to fully engage with them. Lant's battle, so that the Lanyuan family and the Baixiao family can use official knights such as the Knights to attack the private soldiers of the Feilong family.
Dugan asked in a low voice: "How about the palace guards be deployed to the mercenary station?"
"No, the current escorts are all sent by various families. The personnel are too complicated." Lant shook his head. "Order all the palace guards to change their defenses. They go to Yeqi City and transfer the people from the Galloping Horse Knights."
"Yes!" Dugan immediately ran out to execute.
Lant sighed: "It seems that I really need to find some professional counterparts to ask."
…
In the afternoon, Linmao Clan Xingtian City, inside Rousseff's magic tower, was in the room belonging to the magister.
"So, you encountered a problem in the gang war in Dragon Tooth City?" Hornier sat on the chair that belonged to Rousseff, leaning back on the chair quite easily. That state was different from the cautious and harmonious attitude he had in Iowa. Beware is completely different.
"I thought you would ask this kind of question to Captain Yawenni. She is truly from a noble family."
"The problem is that she is from the royal family, and there are not so many troubles in the royal family," Lanter said with a smile, "Her father is the emperor's brother, and they are both the great-great-grandsons of the God-Emperor.
When he became the prince, the royal family's legends and high-ranking officials suffered heavy losses in the invasion of demons. They were in a state of complete waste and no one could compete with the royal family for resources. "
That's right, Lant, who really couldn't find anyone to discuss with, ran to Xingtian City and asked Honier and Jenny.
Hearing that Lant was actually being troubled by the Feilong family in Dragon Tooth City, Hornier asked: "Don't you have a knighthood of hundreds of people there? Do the Feilong family's private soldiers dare to threaten the knighthood?"
"That's not true, but I don't want to invest too much energy and resources in Dragon Tooth City."
Hornier said with a smile: "But Your Majesty the Duke, you have already invested a lot of manpower. If it is in a basin or plain, more than 100 people are already a very powerful knights. If such a knights do not fight If you back out, you won’t get any benefits from subsequent negotiations.”
"Sir, I agree with my cousin," Jenny also added, "For the nobles in the empire, gang fighting is quite close to war. There is not enough open space in the city for them to spread out to fight the knights. The fighting between gangs is enough to affect the distribution of benefits."
Lant nodded, "I understand. I think your struggle here is quite sufficient!"
There was a row of gallows erected at the gate of Xingtian City. When entering the city, there were more than a dozen humans and orcs hanging on them, which was an eye-opener for Lant.
"Hey, those people treat me as a fool and try to fool me with all kinds of things." Honier waved his hand, showing off the demeanor of a great nobleman, "A few people illegally resold magic plants to Dragon Tooth City, and there are a few others The orcs are carrying the Linmao family on their backs to welcome the royal court's loved ones into Xingtian City, and keeping such people here will only plunge the entire city into chaos."
"Your governance is really..." Lant thought for a while, and finally came to the words "simple and effective!"
"Now you know why there are always slaves sold by various families in White Tree City, right?" Jenny said with a smile, "Death in the empire will lead to litigation. The nobles are not good at killing people, so they sell people they can't stand. border."
