Wizard Lords: Building an Empire starts from the panel

Chapter 151: Belonging to Eternal Night (Part 4) (Suddenly I don’t know how to unpack this k chapter)

"Captain Gordon, we meet again! This time you won a big victory and at least got a baron. I will have to call you Baron Gordon from now on!"

"Haha, Baron Monterey is joking. I just benefited from you this time. If you hadn't defeated the orcs, I wouldn't have had such a good chance.

Moreover, compared with you, who has repeatedly fought and won with the weak and defeated the strong, I am far behind. Please take care of me on the battlefield in the future! "

"No, no, I will have to rely on you more in the future!"

The two clinked their wine glasses, each took a sip, and then continued their business talk.

"Captain Gordon, I would like to ask you to do two favors today. One is purely a personal matter, and the other is related to official matters."

"Baron Monterey, you tell me, as long as I can help."

"Let's talk about business first. This time I am carrying out a mission under the military order of the Marquis. I need to second a full squadron from the second battalion of your Ice Blade Knights.

The only difference from the last time is that this mission may last for several months or even a year, so the secondment of a squadron will take a long time.

Then I originally brought nearly 800 cavalry. After the deaths in this battle outside Luke's Fortress and the nearly 200 injured and reduced numbers, I now only have about 600 cavalry left.

Although it is a bit presumptuous, I would like to ask if you can allocate more Ice Knights to me. "

Gordon held the wine glass, shook his head seriously, and refused directly.

"Baron Monterey, I have difficulty complying with your request. My second battalion itself is full of thousands of people. It will first respond to the frontline army, and then return to the army to fight the orcs in the field.

Now among my thousand men, there are 178 knights killed in battle, and there are more than 300 brothers who have been injured and reduced in number and cannot go into battle in a short time.

Now I only have more than 500 knights in relatively good condition in this battalion. According to the order of the Marquis, I will break your muscles and bones to give you a full squadron. It is impossible to give you more. "

Li Wei couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when he heard this. In fact, he could also try to send a message to Marquis Ashan through the griffon messenger. As long as Marquis Ashan agreed to this matter, Gordon would have no choice but to do it even if he had any objections. .

But this matter is too small. It is obviously very stupid to disturb Marquis Ashan for such a trivial matter. If Li Wei does this, his evaluation with Marquis Ashan will probably drop a few points.

"I was rude, please forgive me. Commander Gordon, I have a second favor to ask you for. This is a completely private matter.

I heard that the Sunshine Lion you killed performed the Beast God Sacrifice before he died. If you hadn't stepped forward at the critical moment and held off the Sunshine Lion on your own, I'm afraid more Ice Blade Knights would have been robbed. . "

"Haha, Lord Baron is ridiculous. The Sunshine Lion did use the Beast God Sacrifice, but I was not the only one who blocked the Sunshine Lion. My deputy battalion commander Dom and several other capable subordinates also made great efforts. of.

But why are you bringing this up? "

"Commander Gordon, the first time I participated in the siege of the Sunshine Orcs, I also encountered the enemy using the Beast God Sacrifice. If Master Yelena hadn't arrived in time, I might have been dragged into the water by the Sunshine Orcs.

The person who used the Beast God Sacrifice that time was a Sun Sun werewolf. When the opponent was about to be defeated, he took out a Beast God statue, burned it, dug out his own heart, and sacrificed it to the Beast God through the Beast God statue.

The combat power of the Sundial Werewolf surged in its return, and I and several fifth-level masters under Viscount Omei did not stop it. I was literally just a split second away from being killed by him.

After that battle, I picked up a statue of the Beast God from the corpse of the Sundial Werewolf. It was the Beast God statue that was used as a medium for the Beast God sacrifice.

This kind of statue happens to be related to one of my witchcraft research projects. I would like to ask if you have picked up the beast god statue on the lion man. I am willing to buy it from you for two thousand gold coins. "

Last time, Levi bought a statue of the beast god that could be used as an intermediate sacrifice at the Orne House in Green County for one thousand gold coins, as well as eight beast gods that cost two hundred gold coins each and could be used as primary sacrifices. statue.

The fat old man manager of Orne House in Green County said it himself that the price of beast god statues plummeted during the war, but the actual value was definitely higher than this price.

Li Wei believed that if he offered two thousand gold coins, the other party would have no reason to refuse.

Although Battalion Commander Gordon came from a humble background, as a mid-to-high-level officer with strong strength and real power, he knew more or less about things like the Beast God Statue.

Originally, he wanted to keep this statue of the Beast God and pass it on to future generations, so that his victory, which was enough to be knighted, would be passed down forever along with the statue of the Beast God.

But Battalion Commander Gordon himself is not rich, and his daily life is even a little shabby. The money he saved in the past has been used to support his training. And the price Li Wei gave was very kind, so he was moved.

"Baron Monterey, since you are so forthcoming and I am a little short of money, then our deal is settled! Happy cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation!"

Levi didn't expect that this matter would be settled so smoothly. Originally, he was prepared for the other party to raise the price and kill him with a knife.

Levi picked up the wine glass and clinked it with the other party again, "Battle Commander Gordon, I'm looking forward to the fact that after this war is completely over, we can go to the royal capital to be knighted side by side!"

"Thank you for your good words!

Baron Monterey, my second battalion suffered heavy losses this time, especially the fourth battalion. There are only ninety-four knights in good condition, which does not meet your requirement of 100 men.

If you don't mind, I'll let Siegfried take the remaining ninety knights to carry out the mission with you! "

When Levi proposed to buy the statue of the Beast God, Gordon did not sit back and raise the price, because he felt that making friends with the Baron of Monterey, who had unlimited potential, was definitely a good investment. So Gordon simply stayed the course and handed over the entire Fourth Brigade, which had suffered a large reduction in personnel, to Levi's dispatch.

The Fourth Brigade is the most elite brigade of the Second Battalion of the Ice Blade Knights. Gordon led the soldiers and the Fourth Brigade to intercept the two Sundial Orcs who were trying to escape, so the Fourth Brigade suffered the heaviest losses.

The 300-man Fourth Brigade had previously been reduced to less than 230 men due to fighting with the frontline troops. In last night's battle, more than 50 knights were killed again, and about 80 knights were injured. Attrition.

However, despite the fact that there are less than a hundred people left in the Fourth Brigade, the captain Siegfried is a genuine fifth-level senior knight. Only one of the other four fifth-level knights was injured and lost, and one unfortunately died in battle.

It can be said that the mid-to-high-level combat capabilities of these one hundred people are well preserved.

"Captain Gordon, thank you very much for your help! I owe you a big favor this time! If you have any use for me in the future, just ask!"

The favor may not be great, but Levi's words must be beautiful.

"Haha, Baron Monterey, I was just following the order. It was the Marquis who asked you to second a full squadron, but it just happened that there was only one squadron left in the Fourth Brigade. As for thanks, there is no need to mention it. Just treat me to a drink after your mission is over."

"Then let's make an agreement. When my mission is over, I'll treat you to a drink of Alsace! The hottest girl in the Forest Demon Lodge will also be arranged for you!"

"That's a good relationship. To tell you the truth, I lived a very tight life before. I used every gold coin to practice. I have never been to a high-end dance hall like the Senyao Cabin."

After the serious talk was over, the topic of the two naturally began to go astray.

Li Wei, a country baron, actually didn't know so many tricks in the city. He just chatted with an old man like Viscount Ome for a long time, and slowly learned some tidbits and the affairs of some big nobles.

"Baron Monterey, Commander Gordon, did you two enjoy your conversation?"

"Lord Viscount, you have troubled yourself with today's celebration banquet!" Battalion Commander Gordon quickly turned his head and bowed.

"Sir Viscount, you didn't inform us in advance when you came and eavesdropped on our talk about colors. This is very detrimental to your majesty, Mr. Viscount."

Compared to Gordon, Mr. Levi seemed much more casual and directly joked with Viscount Hells.

"Haha, you two just have fun tonight.

Baron Monterey, the old news you told is really boring. In other words, you are just bullying Battalion Commander Gordon who doesn’t know much and fooling others.

By the way, looking at you, you must be almost 20 years old. Have you not had a romantic relationship with a noble lady? Otherwise, why don’t you have any exclusive information?

Many mature ladies in their thirties like you, a young man who is half mature but still half green. As long as you think about it, there are plenty of opportunities. "

A certain Baron who was joking wittyly with Viscount Helles just now couldn't help but blush.

Of course, Li Wei, a country baron, had never done such things. Li Wei's predecessor was a dead man who was addicted to witchcraft. The Li Wei who traveled through time was either at war or on the way to war, and he had no time to hook up with Mrs. So-and-so.

Of course, even if Mr. Li Wei has a lot of time now and in the future, he will not dare to seduce wild flowers outside. After all, a punch on the head can kill his future father-in-law, the Marquis of Ashan. For the sake of the harmonious life of the couple and personal safety, Li Wei The master can only control little Levi severely.

Viscount Hells couldn't help laughing when he saw the other party's embarrassment, then took out an envelope and handed it to Levi.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. I came to you because I just received a letter from the Griffin Knight. It was from Marquis Ashan to you. Take a good look at it yourself."

Levi hurriedly took the envelope, then apologized, found a hidden corner, and began to read the contents of the letter.

After a full five minutes, Levi read the letter from beginning to end three times.

The content of this letter is not much. The first thing is to ask Li Wei to set off early, arrive at the scheduled location in advance, and quietly lurk for two weeks to a month, allowing the orcs to completely build the food road before taking action.

In addition, the Marquis of Ashan told Li Wei that Li Wei's lone army would be the deepest to infiltrate. Other raiding forces would repeatedly jump between their own controlled areas and enemy-occupied areas, and supplies would also be provided by their own controlled areas.

Li Wei's lone army was completely hidden in the Evernight Forest, either being surrounded and annihilated by the orcs, or holding on until the kingdom pushed back the front line.

Of course, for Li Wei personally, the most serious consequence was probably that he was forced to abandon hundreds of middle and low-level soldiers, and then took a few major subordinates to escape in Fat Purple.

Finally, there is Marquis Ashan’s “Black Rose Project”

Levi read this "Black Rose Project" over and over again, and every time he was amazed by Marquis Ashan's unconstrained imagination.

An eighty-year-old Sanctuary, although he is still very young compared to the level of Sanctuary, but with the experience of being eighty-year-old, his thinking is not rigid, and every move he makes is completely unorganized.

"Marquis Ashan is indeed a ruthless man who can bring the Ashan family from count to marquis. I'm afraid the old Beast King won't be able to catch this move."

"Is this all done?"

Viscount Hells and Battalion Commander Gordon's faces were bright red, and they seemed to have had a great time chatting just now.

"Your Majesty, the Marquis, is urging me to leave as soon as possible. Mr. Viscount, could you please help transport the wounded soldiers under my command to the rear?"

"This letter was probably written before the Battle of Luke's Fortress, so the Marquis doesn't know the situation here. I think you can apply to the Marquis for a later departure."

"It probably won't work. I really have to leave quickly. I'm afraid the orcs will come and interfere with my mission."

"Well, since you are in a hurry to leave, just leave the transport of the wounded to me. This is one of the functions of Luke's Fortress."

"Thank you for your help."

"Hey, thank you. We don't have to be so polite with each other. By the way, don't forget Radisson when we set off. This useless son of mine is in your hands this time."

"I'll set off the day after tomorrow morning. Let Radisson report to my military camp first, just to get used to it in advance."

------------

Early on the third day, a somewhat mixed cavalry team set off from Luke's Fortress and headed towards the Evernight Forest.

"I don't know when Uncle Harland will be able to fully recover, and whether Angel can win Grandpa Pedro's eyes."

The day before leaving, Levi took Angel, who had previously been entrusted to the gatekeeper of Luke's Fortress, to the wounded camp and asked him to help take care of Harland, and at the same time, he was transferred to the rear to facilitate the transportation of the wounded.

As for Harland, he has been injured for a hundred days. Although he is already a fourth-level transcendent and his physical body has been greatly improved, the doctor estimates that it will take more than a month for Harland to fully recover. By then, Eternal Night Forest will be early Being completely enveloped by the orcs' forces, Harland was destined to be unable to participate in this operation.

"Lord Baron, we are almost at Hongye Town. This is already the outskirts of the Evernight Forest. In addition, Yaqis said before that if you want to find him, you can go to the Hunter Station in the Evernight Forest."

"Okay, I see."

Levi looked at the dark forest not far away and took a deep breath. In the next few months, the Evernight Forest will be his battlefield and refuge.
