Chapter 372 Three Not-so-Simple Neighbors
Several fast horses galloped on the spacious continent, and everything around them was very clear under the deep and bright moon of the night.
Little Will, Nat Wolf, Nicole, Baron Walter, and a senior warrior from Lord Corleone accompanied the group of five people on their way to Lord Declan's territory. It was Little Will's decision to set off overnight. However, they got the approval of the Lord of Corleone, who personally ordered people to let them go with his own warrant, otherwise they would not be able to leave the city.
"Nobby has a younger brother who just came off the battlefield three months ago. He is a newly promoted knight." Baron Walter suddenly said something incomprehensible.
Little Will glanced at him and briefly glanced at the senior soldier next to him. Baron Walter shook his head slightly and said: "Carlos is Nobby's confidant. He is usually only responsible for Nobby's protection, so he can be trusted absolutely. people.”
Little Will was silent and didn't say a word, but Baron Walter was not ready to give up just like that: "The Corleone family is a big family, and the person who combines the title of earl and the position of Lord of Mabst City can only be the Corleone clan leader. Nobby is a talented man, and he has done a good job as the eldest son, relying on his own efforts to hold up this position. "
"I know that this time it is very likely that there is a problem with the Corleone family. That woman is not that capable of doing all this. She can cover it up and prevent the news from reaching Nobby's ears, and even create trouble to confuse Nobby. It is not something that a woman who has never seen the world can do. "Baron Walter is a close friend of Lord Corleone, so he needs Little Will to stand on Lord Corleone's side.
"Once such a small trick is discovered in advance, there are many ways to solve it, right?" Little Will looked at Baron Walter with some confusion. This man with a rough appearance but a very delicate heart could not say this for no reason. He was sure There are other words in it.
"Mabst County built its city by force, but any of the nobles who can become the head of a family are simple?" Baron Walter couldn't help but shook his head slightly, "Between people, between families, and even between cities. The relationship between them cannot be simple and clear. There are generally three factions in Mabst County's relationship with Drake City."
Baron Walter glanced at Little Will and continued: "The alliance led by Nobby believes that it is necessary to make good friends with Drake City. On the one hand, they need the support of Drake City to continue to suppress the aliens in the jungle. On the other hand, they need the support of Drake City to continue to suppress the aliens in the jungle. On the other hand, we also want the two cities to cooperate and complement each other’s resources.”
"This was also his original intention to make a series of promises to guarantee the Drake City expeditionary force after destroying the devil's conspiracy in hell and wiping out the alien army invading the territory. Unfortunately, not everyone thinks so." Baron Walter's face showed a trace of With a wry smile: "They are like utilitarians. They will thank Drake City for its remote rescue, but they do not want to give Drake City preferential treatment."
"If you have breasts, you are a mother. If you don't have breasts, you will be thrown over the wall." Little Will's words made Baron Walter give a thumbs up.
"This type of people is not a minority, accounting for nearly a quarter of the nobles."
"Where's the last faction?" Since you've already joined in, it's better to learn more about the price comparison and prepare for your future position.
"The last faction is the indifferent faction, also called conservatives. They occupy nearly one-third of the seats. Many of them are ancient families with a long history. They insist on the original policy and believe that Mabuster County is Mabuse. Special County, just keep the old things, there is no need to change anything. They are not opposed to giving some benefits and promises to Drake City's reinforcements, but they don't like to be like Drake City in everything." Baron Walter's words made Little Will feel. One type of talent is normal.
"Which faction does Lord Corleone's brother belong to?" Little Will was very concerned about this issue, but he was not sure that this person must be the mastermind behind the scenes.
"Tenasi is a radical. After returning from the battlefield, he is more confident than before. Because he is relatively young, he is more inclined to use the power of Drake City to take the initiative to attack foreign races." Baron Walter's face showed a smile With a trace of agreement, he said: "Tenasi proposed the strategy of dividing, co-opting, and suppressing. He divided and co-opted aliens who were friendly and close to humans, and suppressed barbaric and uncivilized aliens. His attitude toward hell demons and their believers was to kill them all. amnesty."
"So what's his attitude towards the orcs?" At the level of a great knight, you can have access to a lot of information that you didn't know before.
Baron Walter glanced at Nicole, and then said softly: "Suppression, slavery."
Little Will nodded if he gained something. This attitude didn't seem to be difficult to understand, but it was slightly different from his previous policy against foreign races. It seemed that there might be some story in it.
"Hmph, the people of the Beast God will not surrender to any enemy." Nicole glared at Baron Walter with displeasure. The latter smiled helplessly and shook his head. There are thousands of people with different faces, and he cannot forcefully distort others. attitude, especially in big aspects. And as a senior knight who came back from the orc battlefield, Baron Walter also didn't have much favorable impressions of orcs, well, except for orc beauties.
"Please introduce me to the neighbors around Lord Declan's territory." Little Will changed the topic. He did not intend to interfere in the affairs of Lord Corleone for the time being. Unless the other party really came to his door and acted wild, he would still treat him as a Bystanders are better. Although the presence of Lord Corleone is good for him, it is not the reason why he intervened in this matter.
Sometimes, there are some things that others don't want outsiders to get too involved in. Little Will didn't want his kindness to be repaid. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at the senior soldier named Carlos. This is also a survivor who followed Knight Nobby Corleone through life and death on the orc battlefield. He is a typical high-level Mabst warrior, rugged and fierce!
"Lord Declan is a very small territory, with only a radius of twenty or thirty miles. It is at the bottom of the territory. Although it may be rude to say this, it is a fact." Baron Walter shrugged and continued. : "To be honest, many people in Mabst City do not recognize this weak territory. A lord territory without high-level professionals is not even comparable to some knight families without titles."
"To the east of Lord Declan's territory, close to Mabst City, is Lord Ebola's territory. The lord is an intermediate knight, and he also has one senior warrior, three intermediate warriors, and more than a dozen junior warriors. The heir is also a junior knight. "Baron Walter said softly: "Lord Ebola and Lord Declan have a pretty good relationship, maybe they share the same disease."
Little Will looked at him speechlessly. The last sentence was redundant. You don't need to repeatedly emphasize the weakness of Lord Declan.
"The neighbor to the southwest is Baron Harald. Baron Harald is a high-ranking knight with pretty good men. His territory is more than ten times that of Lord Declan. It borders directly on Mabst Jungle. , is a senior knight who has actually been on the battlefield.”
"To the northwest is the Baron of Zakxi. The Zakxi family has a long history. It is said that it has been passed down for three to five hundred years. It is the most powerful noble family in this area. They generally rarely participate in wars against orcs, but they often fight with Mabu The aliens in the Stern jungle fought fiercely. In the last alien invasion, they played a great role in resisting the alien harassment and killed at least three senior alien warriors. It was said that there were wizards in their family. "
In the last words, Baron Walter's voice was very low. Wizards were considered taboo in the land of gods. Although he knew that this was just an illusion, he had to be careful. Being cautious was a good habit.
"Ebola, Harald and Zaksi families?" Xiao Weier did not think this was an accident. Otherwise, his late uncle would not have prepared the suicide note in advance. It was most likely that he had contacted the neighboring nobles. There was some dispute over interests, and the dispute was so big that he had to prepare a way out in advance.
