Before ascending to God, be a good lord

Chapter 529 526.Dedication

In the castle on the south slope of the Iowa Pass, Pete Maned Wolf has been counting the difficulty of managing more than 4000 troops, which is much more difficult than the galloping horse knights defeating the ratman army.

Laniya listened to her husband's words, although she frowned a little, but she didn't expose him. In her opinion, this was a problem she had been facing every day for these years, and she didn't know what to complain about.

Rand looked at Pete with a smile, and then at Laniya, probably knowing what was going on.

Although Pete Maned Wolf can call the wind and rain in the salt mine, but since the liberation of the salt mine, he has become Lania's bonus and bodyguard.

Now I am watching the old buddies in the salt mine, Alf Fate, Kenan Dawles and others become high-level knights one by one, and he himself indulges in drinking and sex every day, trying to improve the knight level, but he can't get it Go, want to change careers to become a consul, and can't even lead an immigration team. Naturally, it is full of bitterness.

"Peter, you are a knight who has been following me since the salt mine," Rand waved and interrupted the knight, "Many junior knights at that time had reached the intermediate level, and even Neil had reached the advanced level. You used to be a senior knight, why can't you recover?"

"My lord, I..." Pete scratched his head, embarrassed to continue. He was the knight with the most wives in the salt mine back then. The opportunity to run errands in Maned Wolf City has added several wives.

Now that he lives in groups of wives and concubines every day, he naturally has no motivation to practice.

Since last year, he has been hesitating whether to dedicate Lania beside him to Rand in exchange for glory and wealth, but Pete himself understands that according to Rand's personal style, if he really wants to take Lania away, he will have to do it a long time ago. Now, a high-level lord wants a non-magic woman, is it worth being polite to a middle-level knight?

But Pete didn't understand why Rand valued Laniya so much, why he kept her by his side?
Leniya looked at Pete's faltering, and said directly: "My lord, Pete is actually the most suitable for liaison work. He was the deputy head of the Knights before, and he understands the hearts of small and medium-sized nobles very well."

Laniya's words made Rand laugh even harder. In terms of titles, the Golden Knight Yavinne Jinyue and Pete Maned Wolf are both deputy captains, but there is a huge gap between the two in terms of ability and vision. It was heaven and earth.

If Yawenne understands the intrigue among the big nobles, Pete also understands the little thoughts of some small and medium nobles.

"You're right, I'll find a way to find a more suitable job for you," Rand gestured to let Pete leave the meditation room, but when he opened the door, Knight Danico was already standing outside.

"My lord, my deputy Jim has some ideas about the auxiliary army, and I hope he can report directly to you!" Danico said respectfully after entering the room, looking at Lant and Laniya in the room.

"Oh? I remember that he was the steward of the East 1 station, right?" Rand said with great interest, "Let him come in. Let's hear what suggestions we have as the manager of the auxiliary army. .”

……

On the evening of the 30th, in the living room of Padmira Palace in Yeqi City, Yavinne Jinyue stood next to Rand, and opposite him were Paladin Burt Kaul and Alexei Zhuoqin .

In the middle of the four people was a large magic box. After Lante opened it, he revealed the head of a white senior mouse.

"Knight Burt, this is my tribute to His Majesty. Please let him witness Yeqi City's first victory against the Orc King's Court!"

In Rand's hand, he took out the imperial flag and official document issued by the orc king's court to the Ratman tribe. "It has the seal of the Orc King's Court on it, which is enough to prove that this is the attack of the Beast King's Court on the Galloping Horse Plain."

"Of course," the paladin nodded with a smile, "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 His Majesty. Lord Lante is willing to give His Majesty such a tribute first, which is enough to show you It is a model of imperial nobility!"

Burt and Alexei were very satisfied with Rand's actions, and the magic crystal on the head of the huge high-level magic mouse was not removed, which undoubtedly represented respect for the emperor.

After the guests of the imperial capital left, outside the main entrance of the reception hall, a junior knight entered the room, and Peter Maned Wolf and Jim were also called in from the other door.

"Earl Lant, I salute you!" Kevin Elk entered with a smile. The eldest son of the Viscount Elk in the Northwest Earldom, he didn't understand why Earl Lant, who was also considered popular in the capital, invited him here.

"Kaiwen Knight, you are safe and sound, I hope you will not be delayed from attending the dance in the capital." Rand said with a smile.

Since Rand arranged a block for the nobles in the northwest, other families except the Baron of the Wild Bears have sent their heirs. It is far more convenient to go from Yeqi City to the king's capital and the imperial capital than the portal in Maned Wolf City. , and the management of Yeqi City is more regular than Earl Maned Wolf's. There is no entry fee here.

"Where is it, the Earl is willing to meet me in his busy schedule, and I am too happy!" Although Kevin is glib, he is the eldest son of the Viscount, and he is measured.

"Knight Kevin, I remember that your family still owes me some gold coins, which should have been repaid with old grain," Rand said very easily. That was the agreement he reached with Kevin in March, when the Elk Viscount family wanted to buy Black-scaled horses and iron armor, and paid with old grain.

However, in less than 5 months, all the old grains of the Marquis of the South and the Kingdom of the South were bought up by the nobles of the imperial capital, and the Elk family owed less than 200 gold coins to the grain that had not yet been delivered.

"My lord, the debt between our family and you is not much, and we can settle it directly in cash." Kevin didn't know why Rand called him back from the capital for this little money, so he could only express that he directly Pay back the money.

"Knight Cavaliers don't need to be so anxious. I heard that there are many free folk hiding in the Marquis of the South and the Lizard Forest to the south of us?"

"My lord, do you want to buy some non-magic slaves from the south?" Following Rand's question, a smile appeared on Kevin's face,

"Then you have found the right person. There are indeed large and small human, half-elf and half-orc settlements hidden in the lizard forest south of Elk City. The so-called free people in these settlements have thin blood, and there may not be any in the entire tribe. A bunch of demon possessors, they are completely like wild beasts, or a random monster can destroy the entire settlement."
