Before ascending to God, be a good lord

Chapter 11 9. Planning and Change

Maned Wolf City, there is a huge suite in the earl's castle, which has a complete living room, drawing room, study and bedroom, and even a sports hall and meditation room.

Everything here is customized according to the floor height of 10 meters, and the sports hall with a few hundred square meters even has a super high ceiling of 30 meters.

The owner here, the Northwest Earl of the Dragon Kingdom, Kebbins Maned Wolf, once built this lord-only room after he broke through to the Silver Knight. At that time, he firmly believed that he could continue to break through into the Sky Knight and use his fighting spirit to fly in the air.

At this moment, the 3-meter-tall earl was resting in the living room. His thin body was half lying on a magic rattan chair. This kind of chair can adjust the angle and length, and it is very sturdy, and it is very popular among magic possessors.

The count closed his eyes, recalling the days more than ten years ago, when he had just become the Silver Knight.

The most important goal of every nobleman is to allow himself to continue to break through, so that the family can obtain excellent blood inheritance, and let the territory continue to produce extraordinary output.

The Earl of the Maned Wolf was no exception. At that time, he was ambitious. In order to make his family take a step forward, he had to continue to serve a big family.

Until that day he took his wife into the trap of conspiracy. . .

"Master? The young master is already outside the door." The housekeeper did not know when he was standing behind him, and reported softly.

The count opened his eyes. "Oh, here? Let him in."

The 4-meter-high door was pulled open, and a handsome knight walked in quickly.

"Father, I just received it." The person who came was the Earl's eldest son, Fernando Maned Wolf. This young man has been the most dazzling child in Maned Wolf City since he was a child. At the age of 15 two years and 20 years ago, he had already broken through to the senior knight.

The earl took the note and sighed, "Rotter can really get it, 7 gold coins in 1 years, aren't you afraid of choking yourself to death?"

"This insatiable guy, who only smuggled salt and iron, dared to smuggle iron armor and war horses to the Frostwolf Clan," Fernando said through gritted teeth.

"The nobleman's way of doing things is to give space to his subordinates so that they can develop, but also not to be too indulgent. I have focused my attention on Dragon Tooth City in recent years and neglected the management of these border nobles." Earl He attaches great importance to the cultivation of the eldest son, hoping that he can realize his wish to revitalize the family.

"You will face the same situation in the future. If you want to handle it well, you must master it well."

"How should I grasp it?"

"Let the knights assemble, but don't start yet, I want to teach Rott a lesson"

"Yes, Father"

In the eyes of the Earl of the Maned Wolf, the winter of 996 will be a bit cooler on the border, but it is only slightly colder than in previous years. As long as his Maned Wolf Knights are in hand, there will be no accidents.

. . . . . . . . .

Roth Territory, Viscount's castle study.Although Viscount Roth and Baron Galloping Horse belong to the same clan, the grandeur of Viscount Rotter's castle is far beyond that of Baron Galloping Horse.

The viscount's castle also has 3 floors, which is very similar to Huck's castle in function, but it is three times larger than the baron's castle in terms of area, and there is a large auxiliary castle and warehouse outside the main castle.

Bob Rot, the current Viscount of Rot, was once the deputy head of the Maned Wolf Knights. Eight years ago, in 8, the barbarians invaded on a large scale. The then Viscount Rott entrusted the people of his territory to Huck Galloping Horse, and led his knights to deal with the barbarians, but died unfortunately.

Bob inherited the Rot Territory, and the Rot Territory has developed rapidly since then.Bob has two ways of doing business, businessmen in the Benma Plain and the relationship network in Wangdu.

He hooked up with the big business firm Frostwolf Clan in Dragon Tooth City, the royal capital, and sold the special products of the Benma Plain to the royal capital through the Frostwolf, earning higher profits.

Now Viscount Roth has 60 households with a population of more than 600. There are 5 knights in the Roth family, 12 family knights in the castle, and 4 knights (including reserve knights) in 8 feudal knights. Such strength lies in 8 On the basis of the near-destruction of the group a few years ago, it was accumulated through Bob's management.

At the moment, the Viscount is in his study, and he has just finished writing a list of supplies to be sent to the Gray Goose Tribe.

Although Viscount Bob was born as the deputy head of the knight order, he once studied in Dragon Tooth City, and his business connections also came from his school days.

Looking at the list in his hand, Bob felt reluctant for a while. It was all accumulated by him in the past few years, and every copper coin should be used for more meaningful things.

In Bob's view, the moment of crisis has come, and it is a normal operation of the great nobles to throw out side branches as bargaining chips.

More than ten years ago, the Frostwolf family in the capital, because of the scandal of adultery with the barbarians, directly pushed the person in charge of the business at that time to talk back. It is said that the whereabouts of the brother and sister are unknown.

Now I just imitate the practice of the big family.

He didn't agree with his older brother's way of thinking that he rushed to the front and let the side branch take care of the people.

In his eyes, the Rot family, as the main branch, should be preserved.

But this side branch was too unconscious, and actually took all the people to flee when there was only one knight apprentice left, a knight apprentice.Even if you keep the people, you can't inherit the baron's territory. Why can't you contribute yourself to keep the entire Rott territory?

Every year when Bob went to the Galloping Horse Plains to do business, he brought Huck with him. These years, Huck and his sons were considered the best barons in the Northwest Earldom.

Why should I take you to get rich?Isn't it just to let you go at a critical moment?Why don't you show any gratitude at all, and now I need to pay so much money and food to feed those savages.

Viscount Rotor was very angry.

The study door was pushed open, and Bob's son Del Rott came in, "Father, is the list confirmed? That gray goose messenger can't wait."

"Then let him go!" Bob roared. Bob was very concerned about the identity and status of the nobleman, and he couldn't tolerate an ordinary barbarian demon possessor bossing around in front of him.

"Tell him, the Earl's Knights will be here tomorrow, and then his gray duck head will take them back to the plain like flying."

"Father, this is the second thing I want to say." Del took out a note, "This is sent by Colonel Crony Red Dragon"

"What?" He only sent someone to hand over this note?Crony Red Dragon is the nephew of Cabins Maned Wolf and once worked with Bob Root in the Maned Wolf Knights.

The two are not only classmates in the capital, colleagues in Earl City, but also partners on the commercial route from the Benma Plain to the capital.

Now that he was in a great crisis, after asking for help from Maned Wolf City, only one note came?
Bob finished the note, looked at it, rolled it up and threw it on the floor. "The jackal, the scavenging hound, the underfed fool!
What did you say that the knight order repairs cannot be mobilized for the time being?Don't you think that if you let me bleed, those savages will be able to leave when they smell the blood? "The above words are scolding the maned wolf family. In fact, Bob Rott has a good relationship with Fernando Maned Wolf.

Fernando Maned Wolf has become the first deputy head of the Maned Wolf Knights since he broke through as a senior knight 3 years ago.

The head of the regiment is Earl Maned Wolf, the first deputy head is Fernando Maned Wolf, the second deputy head is a senior knight in charge of training, and the third deputy head is Crony Red Dragon, Red Dragon The surname is the royal surname of the dragon kingdom.

Earl Maned Wolf intermarried with the Red Dragon family, and invited a nephew Red Dragon to the Knights to serve as the deputy head in charge of external liaison to show favor to the royal family.

Since Bob started smuggling on a large scale 7 years ago, he knows the danger of eating alone, so every time he goes to Maned Wolf City to do business, he will give Fernando Maned Wolf a share.

Fernando Maned Wolf naturally accepted all of Bob's overtures, so in Bob's view, Maned Wolf City acquiesced in his business.

Not only Fernando Maned Wolf, Crony, Earl Maned Wolf's butler, and the captain in charge of city defense all often received benefits from Bob.

"Did these bastards be blinded by the gold coins, thinking that I could just pull a horse on the plain and sell it in Maned Wolf City?"

"Father?"

"Every time I go out in a caravan, you have to share it. My iron armor can only be sold to you at a low price. You always want to keep the best of my black scale horse. I took the Frostwolf family into the plains. You are better than Frost It's hard for a wolf to come into your castle.

Now that I have money, I actually stood by and stood by when the barbarians invaded. The barbarians drained my blood and wouldn't feed it to you! ' Bob was furious now.

People are always like this, when they sacrifice others, they seem so righteous, and even feel that the sacrificed person is not sensible.

When you are sacrificed, you will feel that the whole world has betrayed you.

"Tell the barbarian downstairs that these things will be sent to the running horse territory in three days." Bob handed the list to his son, "Let all the knights gather at the castle. These barbarians are not so easy to eat. We have to Let them learn to keep their promises"

"Yes, Father"

. . . . . . . .

In a small hotel in Maned Wolf City, two young men were drinking in a room.

"Everything is going according to the chief's plan. The galloping horse baron has been emptied, and Gray Goose's next step must be to eat Rot. The maned wolf who sits and watches his subordinates be wiped out by the barbarians will be punished by the dragon and the empire. The two territories will become the chief meat in the multi-party game"

"Those are just two border territories. They live on private salt and iron camps every year. The real important thing is to guard the Cornico Pass."

"That's right, the chief took down Rot, which means closing the door of Korniko. At that time, we can send troops to explore Yeqi City, as long as the magic circle in Yeqi City can be restored."

"Then Dianqiansi will become Yeqi's master and own the entire Benma Plain!"

"At that time, Yeqi City will become a stage for common mages and knights"

"Brother, just because you are a high-level mage, you will definitely be able to get a bigger stage, brother, you have to think about me when the time comes"

"No way, aren't you a colleague of the chief?"

"What's the same door? When the chief was studying under Master Zhuoqin, I was still a child. When I joined Master Zhuoqin's school, the chief had already entered the front division of the palace."

"Hey, then you are also from the same school, at least in the eyes of us outsiders, you are brothers."

"What, I'm just an intermediate mage, and I was only an apprentice among the master's magister disciples back then. Now I'm afraid I don't even have the chance to break through to the advanced level."

"How could it be? Once the Dianqian Division takes down Yeqi City, we middle-level mages will have a chance to break through."

"Come on, let's do it for Yeqi"

"cheers"

"You're going to Brown Bear tomorrow, and I'm going to the Salt Mine too, let's take care, see you in Yeqi City in the future"

"Take care too"

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

When the gray goose leader saw Viscount Rotor's list of supplies, it was already a few hours later.

"It seems that the maned wolf won't rescue Rot, just as the human kid said." The gray goose leader smiled, which was very consistent with the information he had received before.

"I'm still worried, isn't your plan too risky? On the territory of the human race, their fighting spirit is stronger than our iron armor and war horses." The person who spoke was the priest of the Gray Goose Tribe. This priest's level is similar to that of an intermediate priest.
"Don't worry, the Earl of Maned Wolf won't react until we take down Rotor Castle. Even if we take it down, he will just take a large group of knights and hide behind the stone castle in the east, trying to scare us."

"Old Maned Wolf used to be the Silver Knight"

"But he's not anymore. I received news that this old wolf was cursed by a strong man when he was chasing fame and fortune a few years ago, and he hasn't done well until now. As long as he dares to come out and fight me."

"We will activate the curse on him? But then our horses will not be able to fly over the stone wall"

"Who said I'm going to jump over the city wall to beat them? There are so many nobles and lords around Maned Wolf, so it's easy for me to go to the homes of these little nobles, isn't it?"

"So you want to hold back the main force of the maned wolf and sweep other noble territories?"

"Yes, Maned Wolf City should have some magical ways, and we won't get any cheap if we go there.

But as long as the main force of the maned wolf is contained in the blue magpie castle, our cavalry can quickly harvest the territories of 3 or 4 barons and viscounts nearby, and these territories will provide us with at least a hundred slaves. Really fancy. "

"Then after we sweep, will the maned wolves directly fight us?"

"No, we don't need to take away all the demon possessors and non-monsters. We only need to take half of each territory, so that the enfeoffed nobles under the maned wolf will have to return to the territory. The maned wolf doesn't have enough knights, and it can't Don't come back and trouble us."

. . . . . . . . . .

Facing the upcoming October of 996, everyone had their own plans, and they all had new plans because of Rand's actions.
