French knight lord: I have a skill panel

Chapter 96 The storm is coming and the situation is pressing (5k)

Job led Lomo to the living room, where his father, Viscount Sarri Alexis, was sitting on the chair, looking at Lomo with a smile.

Luo Mo hurried forward, bowed and saluted, "My lord, battalion officer."

As he said that, he took the gift from the attendant, and presented it to Viscount Alexis with both hands: "A small gift is not a respect. I would like to use this to say hello to the Viscount."

Viscount Alex motioned for Job to take the gift, then immediately stood up, held Romo's hands cordially, and led him to sit down at the table.

"Luomo, you don't need so many courtesies." Viscount Alexis said, "You wiped out four gnoll gangs in a row, and provided so many combat potions to other brother troops at a low price, which indirectly supported the plan to clear up the gnoll gangs. , I have made great contributions to my reserve battalion. I have signed several nobles and reported to the royal family, wanting to restore your status as the Lord of the Sardin family."

When Luo Mo heard this, he subconsciously wanted to ask the Lord what kind of preferential treatment he had.

Viscount Alexis seemed to understand Lomo very well, before he could ask, he explained: "After becoming a Lord, you can pay less or no taxes."

Luo Mo was suddenly overjoyed, the nobles are indeed the most popular group in the world.Even taxes are exempted.

But it is also understandable when you think about it. The laws of the kingdom were originally formulated by those nobles, and it is impossible for them to deceive anyone.

Speaking of which, Luomo has actually not paid much tax in the past two years.The reason is that he was once robbed by jackals, and according to the law, he can have a two-year tax holiday.

Now that two years have passed, Luomo has such a large area and so many people under him. If he really wants to start paying taxes, it will be considered a considerable expense.

If Viscount Alexis could really promote himself to Lord, even if he was a Baron, it would be of real help to him.

"So, thank you, Lord Viscount!" Luo Mo stood up and thanked him with a bow.

The boss didn't say anything, it was really interesting, and he really helped if something happened.

"It's still the same sentence, Luo Mo, you must not be polite. This is the reward you deserve. Just because of your alchemy talent, you are also worthy of being promoted to Lord." Viscount Alex praised.

The two flattered each other for a while, and Luo Mo finally got to the point: "My lord, I wonder how the situation in the northern border is going?"

Before he came, he was very curious about the outcome of the confrontation between the evil orcs and the northern army.

Since the Grizzly Bear Fortress was breached, the kingdom has established a checkpoint defense line in the north.The two sides focus on daily confrontations at certain strategic points.

This kind of confrontation is full of gunpowder, and if you are not careful, a big battle will break out.Then affect the pattern of the entire northern border.

Luo Mo is very concerned about this information, but unfortunately he has been staying in the countryside of the territory, and the information he has obtained is very limited.Now that I'm here with Viscount Alexis, I have to ask a question no matter what.

When Viscount Alex heard Romo's question, he sighed slightly and said softly: "I was about to say this. I just received a military report that the Battle of Lionheart Castle is over."

"Is the city broken?" George looked excited, seeming to be very concerned about the Battle of Lionheart Castle.

"No." Viscount Alexis said softly.

George immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but he was somewhat puzzled.Now that the city was saved, why did my father still look gloomy?

Seeing the puzzled expression on Lomo's face, George explained to Lomo: "That's it. The Battle of Lionheart Castle started more than a month ago and was an attack on Lionheart Castle by the First Legion of Evil Orcs. These From now on, all military affairs will revolve around this battle."

Luo Mo suddenly felt shocked. There were five legions of evil orcs.The First Legion of the Evil Orcs, also known as the Invincible Beast Legion, is the core and main force of the Evil Orcs.The Battle of Qiutang was exactly what they achieved as the main force.

Their record is extremely strong, and people in the northern border are all terrified when they hear about the Invincible Beast Squad.Such an army's comprehensive attack on Lionheart Fort can basically be regarded as a major battle that can be recorded in history.

I only heard Viscount Alexis say: "This battle started on the [-]th of last month, and it has been going on for more than a month now. The cabinet minister, Duke Granham, went to the front to supervise the battle. The evil orc army was led by their The Chief, Rendall, known as the Green Lord, leads himself."

Luo Mo listened silently. In the face of such a bloody army, Lionheart Castle can last for more than a month, and its tragedy can be imagined.

Thinking of this, Lomo suddenly became confused and asked: "Since Lionheart Castle has been besieged for more than a month, why didn't we in the Volo Valley get an order from the kingdom to go to support?"

Viscount Alex explained: "It was Duke Graham who stopped everyone's support. He judged that this was the encirclement and reinforcement plan formulated by the evil orc army, so he strictly ordered everyone to stick to the city and not act rashly. The evil orc army is so powerful that at present, We in the Clay Kingdom do not have any troops that can fight with them in the field. If we rush to support them and are intercepted by them, it will undoubtedly be a fueling tactic. Not only will we suffer heavy losses, but it will also have no effect."

Hearing this, Luomo immediately sighed in his heart. The Duke of Granham actually decided to use the isolated city to fight against the invincible beast group. He seemed to be a warrior.

As a cabinet minister, not only was he able to go to the front line in person, but he was also in a dangerous situation, and he was able to carefully judge the enemy's intentions and prevent friendly troops from coming to rescue him.

This kind of wisdom and courage has to be admired.

It seems that the Kingdom of Clay still has ministers who are both wise and brave.

Only Viscount Alexis continued: "Duke Granham's initial idea was that this group of evil orcs came from the extreme north and labored far away. Even if they robbed the Grizzly Bear Fortress of food, they might not be able to last long. But I didn't expect that they could attack for a month."

"The siege battle was very fierce. Both sides used all kinds of siege equipment, magic bombs, battle scrolls, and battle potions. The northern wall of Lion Heart Fort collapsed three times. It was forced to be rescued by the guards of Lion Heart Fort. come over."

As Viscount Alexis spoke, he introduced the magical weapons used by both parties.And the specific process of the two sides fighting back and forth.

Luo Mo listened, feeling very shocked.There were some high-end weapons that he had never even heard of.And the cost of these magic products completely exceeded his common sense.

War is indeed a game of fighting for supplies and resources.

More importantly, in addition to resources.As far as combatants are concerned, our own people are far behind.If you put your troops on that battlefield, they may not even be considered elites, but only ordinary fresh troops.

In the past, he actually had no idea about evil orcs.But today, after hearing Viscount Alex's description of the battlefield, he suddenly had a deep understanding of the evil orcs.

They are definitely not just a group of barbaric bandits, but a typical military group with clear organization, profound foundation and powerful strength.

Looting and massacre are just the hobbies and characteristics of this army.

"Later, the defenders of Guadalcanal Island on the west side of Lionheart Castle finally couldn't sit still. As the subordinates of the Duke of Granham, they couldn't bear to see him fight alone and go out of the island to rescue without authorization. But they were seized by the evil orc army. Counterattacked and entered the island, killed all the defenders and civilians inside, and then marched away with food and various supplies. More than 7000 people died on Gua Island alone.”

"According to the information in the military newspaper. In this battle, although the Duke of Granham barely managed to hold the castle, the loss was extremely heavy. The battle loss was as high as one to fifteen. The Duke was also shocked to find that the evil orc army not only had enough food and grass , there is even a magical weapon unique to the Kingdom of Clay."

Speaking of this, Viscount Alexis said in a deep voice: "Duke Granham judged from this that someone is supporting the enemy. From food to magic products, there are people who are secretly supplying the evil orcs. Moreover, the size is definitely not small."

Seeing his father's angry expression, Job relieved, "Father, this is also a reasonable thing. We have nothing else in the Clay Kingdom, and we have caught a lot of traitors and traitors. In the previous fall of the cities, there was never a traitor." "That's right." Viscount Alexis nodded and said, "The reason why Lionheart Castle was successfully defended this time is probably because the Duke of Granham did a good job of eradicating rape, so that the enemy had no chance to take advantage of it. "

"Father, now that the guard has been successful, I think you don't seem happy." Job asked softly.

Viscount Alex shook his head lightly, and said: "It's true that the city was defended, but the Duke of Granham was also seriously injured and was sent back to the royal city in an emergency. Although the evil orcs have temporarily retreated, we will wait until they make a comeback again." At that time, I am afraid it will be impossible to resist."

When the two of them heard this, they fell silent immediately.

To be honest, this is a siege battle, and the evil orc army is still fighting from a long distance.It was originally extremely beneficial to the defender.

But even though it occupies a favorable terrain, it still looks like this.

The first army of evil orcs really deserved the reputation of the invincible beast army.

"If we could find out who was feeding the enemy and cut off their food supply, wouldn't they have no choice but to return to Grizzly Bear Fortress Maodong? After all, it's freezing cold now, and Grizzly Bear Fortress doesn't produce much food." Qiao said Bu.

"That's right." Viscount Alexis nodded and said, "So, the kingdom has sent another cabinet minister here this time. Picketing out traitors this time is very important."

When Luo Mo heard this, he pursed his lips and said, "I have some information about the traitor."

This time he spoke without any hesitation.To be honest, he is not a troublemaker.

But this grain trade is of great relevance.If it is true that the evil orc army is slowed down by these profiteers, then the northern border will really fall into catastrophe.

Whether it is public or private, Luo Mo must announce this matter.

When Viscount Alex heard what Luo Mo said, he was stunned and said, "Luo Mo, what information can you provide."

Luo Mo took a deep breath, took out the Northern Territory transaction list from his arms, put it in front of the two, and then told them everything he knew.

Including what was learned through torture in the eastern enchanted jungle, and the information Vader provided to Lomo.

However, he did not reveal Vader's identity to Viscount Alex.It is only said that they were discovered by a ranger who had known his father since he was a child, and found out by accident when passing through the Voro Valley.

And these information points to two people, one is Earl Brad, who has a deep foundation in the Volo River Valley, and the other is the respected mayor, Malcolm.

When Job heard these two names, he immediately stood up.He gasped, a shocked look appeared on his face.

Although Viscount Alex was very calm, he frowned deeply at this time and silently looked at the trade list given by Luo Mo.

"I knew that Earl Brad was not a good person, but I didn't expect the mayor to be such a person. Father, what should we do?" Job asked.

Viscount Alexis pondered, and said: "In the Volo River Valley, although I have always wanted to make some real political achievements, I have always avoided making enemies with others. However, the current situation cannot prevent us from being with the light."

"Father, even if you have this idea, we are not their opponents." Job had a worried look on his face: "Besides, it's just some information, not even a decent evidence."

One is the earl and the other is the mayor.Whether it is from the title or the position, it is the existence that crushes Viscount Alexis.

"So, we need foreign aid to find evidence." Viscount Alex said solemnly: "I decided to visit Marquis Arnold."

Luomo and Job were taken aback when they heard this.

Marquis Arnold, the head of the five lords, the most powerful man in the Volo Valley, and the owner of Black Rock City, the most prosperous place in the Volo Valley.

Although he does not serve in the city hall, he has his confidants in the first and second battalions of the Knights.And the strength of the Arnold Legion he owns is much stronger than the Knights of the City Hall.

Such a person is indeed qualified to investigate Earl Brad and Mayor McCann.

But will he accept Viscount Alex's request to investigate?
Or, is he himself one of the beneficiaries of the northern trade?

None of this has been confirmed, and if Viscount Alexis rushed to visit, he might put himself in a dangerous situation.

Luo Mo pondered and began to persuade: "Lord Viscount Alex, although I have provided information, I never hope that this information will bring any negative consequences to you personally."

Viscount Alexis waved his hand and interrupted Luomo, with an appreciative expression on his face, he said: "Luomo, I am very grateful for you to tell me the information. But don't worry, I will not do things that I am not sure about. It will not easily put us in danger. I have been in the Volo Valley for many years, and I can still see some things clearly."

After he said this, Luo Mo couldn't persuade him any more.

Job looked uneasy and felt deeply worried.

Romo chose to tell the matter, and Viscount Alex chose to investigate.To put it bluntly, it is all because of the sense of responsibility of the two people.Job had no reason to stop.

Viscount Alex put his hand into his pocket, took out a letter, handed it to Luo Mo, and said, "This is a letter from Mr. Martin. This old man has been thinking about you."

As he said that, Viscount Alexis laughed, as if thinking of those years with his teacher.

Luo Mo took the envelope, with a joyful expression on his face, he smiled and said, "I just asked him a few questions. I didn't expect to get his reply. Thank you, sir."

Seeing that Viscount Alexis used this letter to change the subject, Lomo knew that he didn't want him to intervene in the investigation.So he said: "My lord, if you need me in the future, you can just open your mouth. Now the situation is getting more and more turbulent, and there are really very few people who can rely on each other. You must take care of yourself."

"Luomo, my subordinate, you have to take care too."

Viscount Alex looked a little moved, and gently patted Romo's shoulder like a kind elder.

On the way back, Romo kept analyzing the situation in the north, recalling Viscount Alex's description of the attack on Lionheart Castle in his ears.

He was fully aware that a storm was coming, but his own strength was actually much weaker.

Some time ago, there was still some slack and complacency.

But from now on, we must train harder.

Starting from tomorrow, stop drinking and sex!Return to the state when you first became a Dharma Knight!
