Riding and Slashing

Exchange the dragon's fangs with the Sarleon flag gun, this is a temporary condition added by Amy, and it has not been discussed with Li Ang.

But Li Ang agrees with Amy's approach very much-this is an excellent additional condition for the covenant.

'Dragon's Fang' is a sword. This sword represents the loyalty of the Dragon Knights. It is the portable sword of the Ravencrow Kings and the symbol of the Ravencrow Kingdom.

This is indeed a very exquisite sword. It once beheaded countless powerful enemies in the hands of Earl Gregory.

But up to now, the symbolic meaning of this sword has been far greater than its actual function. Although Ravencrow Kings have always worn this sword with them, they rarely use it.

The 'Sarleon Banner Gun' is a battle flag spear, a special lance with the banner of the Sarleon Kingdom wrapped around it, and it was the weapon and flag used by Alfred, the first generation of Sarleon King, when he regained the Sarleon Land. .

Of course, the Sarleon Land Flag Gun has nothing to do with the Lion Knights, but it is indeed a symbol of the Sarleon Kingdom, equal to the Dragon's Fang.

Like the Dragon's Fang, this Banner Spear has not been on the battlefield for many years.

People with battle flags and spears usually need to charge at the forefront of the team, and the king really shouldn't do this kind of work himself.

But this kind of symbol cannot be handed over to the flag officer, lest it be damaged on the battlefield or be taken away by the enemy-so the kings of later generations simply didn't use it, and now this flag gun has been planted in the throne room.

The exchange of these two symbolic weapons along with the covenant is actually equivalent to adding pledges to the covenant, and it is also a token of the alliance, which is indeed a good guarantee for both parties.

However, Amy's seemingly fair move actually has a lot of mystery.

If Gregory IV sent the Dragon's Fang and the covenant to Sarleon City, it would mean that the Ravencrow Kingdom publicly recognized Amy's succession to the Sarleon Kingdom, and it meant that Gregory IV regarded Amy as a peer monarch!

Anyway, King Ulrik was already more than ten years older than Gregory IV, and he had already passed away, so it was reasonable to regard Gregory IV as Ulrik's junior.

The efficiency of Gastov's action was indeed astonishingly fast. Only three days later, he brought back the covenant signed by Gregory IV, and indeed brought the Dragon's Fang along with the covenant.

It is said that four horses ran to death along the way.

Then, he took away the Sarleon flag gun and the covenant signed by Amy and Leon.

Now Amy has become an outstanding graduate of the 'Leon Training Class', even if her workplace is changed to the Silver Throne, she still does a very good job.

In fact, there are only two students in Li Ang's training class, but as far as the current situation is concerned, both of them will definitely become big bosses...

Oh, and now, there's a third.

Alina came to Sarleon.

She came to offer condolences on behalf of Emperor Marius.

When the king of the Lion Kingdom passed away, Emperor Marius naturally wanted to express his condolences—this was also the only king who expressed condolences for Ulrik's death, because the kings of several other countries really did not feel this way...

Emperor Marius still respected his opponents very much.

Although Ulrik had caused a lot of trouble to the Bacchus Empire during his reign, this was a dispute between the two countries, and there was no personal enmity between them. Emperor Marius would still do his due courtesy.

"...On behalf of His Majesty Bacchus Emperor Gaius Mario, I would like to express my deep condolences to the late Sarleon King Ulrik, and extend my friendly greetings to His Royal Highness Amy..."

Alina recited the letter of credence very seriously—she was the representative of Emperor Marius, and she had to fulfill her responsibilities as the emperor's envoy first.

And Amy also received Alina very seriously, and she was also fulfilling her duties as the king's successor.

But just after the solemn condolence ended, Alina approached Li Ang directly, expressing that she would ask Li Ang to be her teacher, and said that it was the wish of Emperor Marius.

"Alina, are you sure this is what Emperor Marius meant? If you really want to be a teacher... His Majesty Marius is very talented, and Governor Justus is full of schemes. They are all more suitable than Li Ang?"

Amy refused with an unhappy face, and threatened Li Ang with squinting eyes.

After leaving the throne room, Amy will no longer have a sullen face. She will control her emotions when facing official duties, but she will not usually—she never brings her work status into her life, and her public and private are quite clear.

"My father has already taught me everything that should be taught, and His Majesty the Emperor also thinks that I should travel to other countries to learn and gain experience... So he asked me to come to study with Lord Li Ang, and even wrote a letter to Lord Li Ang."

Alina smiled slightly at Amy, then turned around and took out a letter and handed it to Li Ang.

This is indeed a personal letter written by Emperor Marius to Li Ang.

And the wording is very unusual - the title of the letter turned out to be 'my friend Li Ang'.

Li Ang read the letter and thought for a long time in silence.

When he raised his head again, his mood became a little depressed: "Alina, you are my student now. Let your entourage go back to the country immediately, and help me send a letter to Emperor Marius by the way."

Alina also nodded silently: "Okay."

"What's going on? Li Ang? What was written in the letter?"

Amy frowned and looked at the two of them.

She could tell that both Li Ang and Alina seemed a little sad?

"Emperor Marius...is seriously ill, and his energy is not as good as usual. He is worried that someone will make trouble while he is sick. Arina has made enemies with many nobles before...In order to protect Arina, Emperor Marius That's why she was sent to me."

Li Ang didn't play sloppy this time, but explained to Amy very seriously.

"...What disease? Can it be cured..."

Amy's attitude also became serious.

Since Emperor Mario made a special trip to send Alina here, of course Amy could realize that the emperor probably felt that his time was running out?

"It should be lead poisoning..."

Li Ang sighed: "This alcoholic guy still didn't listen to my advice after all..."

Arina's entourage left that day, and Li Ang asked them to bring a letter to Emperor Marius.

……

Siyuan City.

"No alcohol!...Freshwater fish, eggs, lean meat...No alcohol! Oranges, lemons, pomegranates, apples, coconuts...No alcohol! Vegetables, milk...No alcohol! Your Majesty, what does His Excellency Li Ang's letter mean? "

The first person to receive Li Ang's letter was General Sulla - now everything that Emperor Marius wants to touch must pass his inspection.

Because the doctors of the Radiant Knights said that His Majesty the Emperor was poisoned.

Although Emperor Marius knew that this might be the lead poisoning that Li Ang had warned him about, and said that there was no need to be so nervous, General Sulla insisted on ensuring the safety of Emperor Marius. This was a good intention, and Emperor Marius did not insist.

After all, Marius also knew that there were indeed many nobles who wanted to kill him—especially those old nobles who disappeared miraculously during the war, reappeared after the war, and pointed fingers everywhere.

However, General Sura didn't understand Li Ang's letter at all—the letter was full of terms for various foods, and he wrote a lot, and at the end of each line was written 'no alcohol'.

"He told me to eat more of these things... and told me not to drink. He knew what was wrong with me."

Emperor Marius leaned back in his chair, his eye sockets sunken and his cheekbones protruding. He probably hasn't gained any flesh since he lost weight due to fatigue during the Bacchus civil strife.

"Alina actually told Li Ang about your physical condition? But... does Li Ang know medical skills?"

General Sura frowned, still not understanding.

"Alina doesn't need to tell him... Li Ang is the one who told me that the lead jug can cause poisoning. Besides, when it comes to medical skills..."

Emperor Marius stood up with the back of his chair: "Isn't the Red Death the control method he found?"

"He provided countries with the method of using horses to make vaccines for free, and did not ask for anything in return. This is quite a noble quality. I always feel that he is not the same person as the cunning lord that General Agathon said..."

General Sulla nodded and handed the letter to Emperor Marius.

"Cunning and kindness can coexist, isn't it the same for Kryon?"

Emperor Marius took the letter: "Has Cleon arrived at Turda Fortress?"

Then he looked at the letter, coughing and laughing - it was headed 'My Friend Gaius'.

Gaius was the name of Emperor Marius himself, and Marius was his family name.

In most cases, only relatives and friends can call their real names, and outsiders will call their clan names.

When facing friends, Li Ang is certainly not that cunning lord.

"General Kryon attacked Gavan Khan pretending to be a Filzwe, and then he 'saved' Gavan Khan's life... Now Turda Fortress is equivalent to the territory of the empire..."

General Sura reported the situation in D'Shar: "And Gavan Khan went to seek revenge from the Fierzwe people—he still thought it was the 'Red Axe' Higru of Nudabao who attacked him. "

"Haha... Look, Kryon, who has always been gentle and kind to civilians, immediately becomes a cunning general on the battlefield... Cough cough..."

Emperor Marius laughed loudly, but after laughing twice, he covered his chest and coughed lightly. It seemed that his health was already quite bad.

"It's true... drink a glass of water, Your Majesty, your body..."

General Sura nodded, and brought a glass of water.

"...I would like to have a glass of wine..."

Emperor Marius clicked his mouth: "I don't have any taste in my mouth, it's really uncomfortable..."

General Su La turned his head and expressed his disapproval: "Your Majesty... the doctor told you not to drink alcohol, and Your Excellency Li Ang wrote 'no alcohol' a full twelve times!"

"Okay... get some milk... In fact, Li Ang also wrote about dozens of fruits, but most of them are special products of Fieldsway..."

Emperor Marius sighed, and read Li Ang's letter again.

"That's okay, just buy whatever fruit you want to eat, I can take the fleet to buy more..."

General Sulla really cared about the body of Emperor Marius.

"No, he didn't mean to let me buy... the various forces of Desha and Fieldsway are now at war, right?"

Emperor Marius turned around and looked at the map thoughtfully.

"Yes, the Knights of the Dawn and the Knights of the Twilight are fighting; the Inquisition is also fighting Cardan; Emile Xerxes is dealing with the Filzwe who entered the D'Shar from the High Pass..."

Apparently General Sulla is now Mario's intelligence officer. He stood by the map and explained the situation: "General Kryon basically didn't encounter any strong enemies in the eastern part of D'Shar. I think that if the shadow wolves sneak into Xin Gal, if you work with General Kryon, you should be able to defeat Singal in one fell swoop!"

"Singal? Taking that place is asking for trouble..."

Emperor Marius shook his head: "Sura, you don't know much about Singal, and that place can even be said to have little to do with Desha..."

Sura showed a questioning look.

He came from the continent of Amala, and he was always with Emperor Marius, so he really didn't know much about Singal.

"Don't provoke Singal, and Kryon won't go either. I let him occupy Turda Fortress, just to prevent the D'Shar from jumping over the wall and attacking Bacchus out of desperation."

Emperor Marius pointed to the map and drew a big arc: "Don't worry about how the D'Shars and Filtsweans fight. What you have to do is to let the shadow wolves go around to the west coast, from Fengyu Harbor or Guangyu Xiaowan can get more benefits—Dexia is very poor now, but Fieldsway is quite rich, and the richest places in Fieldsway are these two big ports."

"Leon will let the Sarleon Kingdom fight Fieldsway in a big battle, and there must be nothing behind Fieldsway."

"This is what Leon wants to say. Filtzway not only has all the fruits I need, but also the reconstruction funds needed by the Bacchus Empire and the Ashborn Empire... It's just that he can't expressly ask me to attack the West Coast, because the messenger may not Reliable, maybe it will leak."

"Take the fleet to the west coast, Sulla, but don't fly the imperial flag, and don't wear the imperial uniform. I hope you can return with a full load...cough cough..."

Emperor Marius explained the task, and then began to cough again.

"I understand. We are creating chaos behind Fieldsway, so that His Excellency Leon will definitely be able to defeat Fieldsway on the frontal battlefield-this is the revenge of the Sarleon Kingdom, and he must win. In this way, he can get his Wanted victory, and we get the savings of the people of Fieldsway..."

General Su La nodded to express his understanding. He thought it was a good situation, and it was indeed a win-win situation.

"He didn't want to win, he could have won... This is the tuition he charged!"

Emperor Marius curled his lips: "Maybe it was a mistake to send Alina to study with him... the tuition is really expensive!"

…………

"...This tuition is really expensive!"

Arina, who was in Sarleon City, also said the same words as Emperor Marius.

"It's reasonable, the Bacchus Empire has made a lot of money... Alina, do you know how prosperous Fengyu Harbor and Guangxiao Bay are? They are so rich!"

Li Ang shrugged: "This is a good thing for everyone, but you think it's too expensive?"

"I'm not talking about your strategy, teacher..."

Alina shook her head: "I mean the money you received! What kind of book fee, meal fee, accommodation fee, clothing fee, attendant fee...there is even protection fee?! You are blackmailing!"

"Going to school is inherently expensive... Alina, this is a necessary investment in education-to be honest, this cost may not be worth the money you used to buy candles."

Li Ang shook the parchment in his hand, and then handed it to Amy: "Go and give it to Governor Justus, and let him pay the bill..."

Amy looked at the total amount of '[-] dinars' at the end, and walked away with Alina's 'tuition fee list' with a smile on her face.

Now Amy has no objection to Alina asking Li Ang to be her teacher...

She even hoped that more such wealthy people would come to Li Ang's side to 'study'.

Because this tuition fee is not a one-time payment, it is paid every six months - Li Ang calls the harvest season every six months a 'semester'.

Eight thousand dinars per person per semester...

Amy felt that if there were more girls like Alina, the tuition alone would be worth several counties!

The way she looks at Li Ang now is like looking at a golden mountain...
