Lord Saren: I have a proficiency panel

Chapter 37 Neighbors’ Interaction
  After a fierce battle and fire, Lan Yuexue Village was now in a state of chaos.

A strange smell floated in the air. It was the aroma of the burned snakes in the village, mixed with the smell of burnt wood and snake dung.

Burning snakes is a very stress-relieving thing. Once they are dried and burned by the fire, the fluid and fat in their bodies will explode, and then intensify their own burning.

This kind of explosion looked very heroic, and both the soldiers and the slaves looked at it with great joy. The fire is expected to take at least one to two days to burn out.

At this time, the Black Marsh Territory was close to the border of Talon Territory. Lord Black Marsh and Lord Lingfeng, with several apprentice knights, also watched the fire in Lanyue Snow Village from a distance.

Lord Black Marsh received the news from Petra through the maid, and hurried over with Lord Lingfeng. They all looked confused when they saw the scene in front of them.

"Didn't we agree that the snake tide would attack Talon's territory first and kill Lodi and his knights? Then we would enter Talon Woods in the name of exterminating the snake tide and ensure that they were completely dead. Why did the fire suddenly start now? What?" Lord Lingfeng said a little depressed: "What on earth is Petra doing?"

"I don't quite understand." The Lord of Black Marsh also looked confused: "The message left by Petra is that the snake tide suffered heavy casualties. But I don't believe that those in the Talon territory can kill the snake tide. Yuriu After Si died, only Caton still had some fighting power. The others were just rotten fish and shrimps. How could they fight against the tide of snakes? They would not even dare to set fire to them. When the tide of snakes encountered fire and fled in all directions, they would Crawling all over the territory. What’s more, those big snakes are not afraid of fire at all.”

"Then what do you mean, Petra set the fire?" When Lord Lingfeng said this, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said excitedly: "Could this be a signal for us to attack?"

Lord Black Marsh pondered for a while, shook his head and said: "There is no plan to burn down Blue Moon Snow Village. What if we rush in and face the knights in the territory? Is it possible to fight with them openly? The defendant When we get to the Seventh Army Corps, we can’t afford to walk around in circles.”

Lord Lingfeng encouraged: "What are you afraid of? Let's go over and take a look. If the situation is not right, can't we just come back? To be honest, I don't believe that under the attack of thousands of snakes, what kind of life can they have?" return."

The Lord of the Black Marsh was also itching and eager to go there to see what was going on. Hearing what Lord Lingfeng said, he was finally moved, nodded and said: "Okay, let's go and have a look!"

The two waved to the knights behind them, and the group immediately stepped into Talon's territory and ran towards Lan Yuexue Village.

However, as soon as they stepped into Talon's territory, before they had gone far, they saw that trenches and positions had been set up at the intersection leading to Lan Yuexue Village, and a troop was stationed there.

Upon noticing someone approaching, several archers on the position immediately set up their bows and shot arrows, assuming a fighting posture.

"Who dares to trespass into my Talon territory?" a squad leader on the battlefield shouted loudly.

Lord Black Marsh and Lord Lingfeng were startled and quickly called the knights to stop advancing. The two looked at each other and saw a trace of panic in each other's eyes.

They waved their hands and were about to retreat quickly when they heard someone shouting: "Two lords, what are you doing here?"

I saw two people walking out of the opponent's position, a middle-aged man and a young man, both wearing armor and riding war horses.

When he got closer, Lord Black Marsh discovered that this middle-aged man was Nurudin, the former adjutant of Captain Katon. He used to have a low-brow look, but now he looked high-spirited and completely arrogant.

The two people were immediately panicked. The Lord of Black Marsh saw the opportunity very quickly and said quickly: "We saw that there was a fire here. We thought we had encountered something, so we came over to see if we could help."

Lord Lingfeng followed up and said: "But now that there is nothing wrong with you, we are relieved. We are ready to go back."

After saying these scene words, the two people turned around and were about to leave when they heard the young man next to Nuruddin say: "Since you are here, why are you leaving in such a hurry?"

The two people looked at this young man with a smile on his face, an elegant demeanor, and a natural sense of affinity and aristocratic temperament. They couldn't help but ask: "Who are you?"

"Let me introduce you. I am the deputy of Lord Barron, the new lord of Talon Territory, Lodi Saren." The young man introduced himself.

The two of them were secretly shocked. It turned out that this was the de facto leader of Talon Territory, a kid from the Saren family. No wonder his temperament looked extraordinary.

They trespassed into Talon's territory without permission and saw that the other party was well prepared, so they felt a little guilty. When they saw Luo Di trying to persuade them to stay, they were all very surprised and didn't know what the young lord wanted to do.

"Don't be nervous, you two." Luo Di smiled slightly and said: "There has been a snake incident in our territory recently, and we are carrying out a snake extermination operation. Since you two are here, bring back some snake meat. It can be regarded as a friendly exchange between our neighbors." , he waved his hand behind him, and several soldiers came over dragging two sacks. When they opened them, they found that they were full of dead snowstorm snakes.

Seeing that there were just a few bags of snake meat, the two lords breathed a sigh of relief and immediately became arrogant again.

Lord Lingfeng curled his lips and said with some dissatisfaction: "Brother Saren, the two of us are kind enough to come here to help you, but you just give us this little bit of snake meat? Are you treating us like beggars?"

Lord Black Marsh also said nonchalantly: "I don't want the snake meat. You can keep it for yourself. Although our territory is small, we can still afford these low-grade game foods."

The two people bluffed a bit and turned around to leave without even saying hello.

After the two left, Nuruddin cursed angrily: "It's obvious that he's here to add insult to injury. He's still dragging me like this. What the heck!"

In the past, Nuruddin did not dare to talk about these two lords even behind their backs. But now, for some reason, I feel confident.

I don’t know whether this confidence was given by Master Luo Di or the sense of accomplishment from killing the snake tide.

Looking at the retreating figures of this group of people, Lodi put away his smile, with a meaningful look on his face, and said to Nuruddin beside him: "Build a bunker and a secret sentry here to keep an eye on these two families. Our territory, We’re going to advance to the grassland.”

"Yes, sir!" Nurudin said immediately.

After Lord Black Marsh and Lord Lingfeng walked out of Talon's territory, they couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, you are smart." Lord Lingfeng praised: "I thought that Luo Di already knew our plan, but I didn't expect that you fooled me so casually."

"Really? I always feel that he is not simple." Lord Black Marsh said thoughtfully.

Lord Lingfeng was a little disapproving: "He is a young man, at least he has a higher martial arts value, so what? He seems to be a fool, and he still gives us snake meat. Little did we know that the reason why these snakes came uninvited is actually our plan .”

Lord Black Marsh shook his head slightly and said, "I don't think it's as simple as you think. Can a fool kill these snakes?"

"I can't say for sure if I have help from a noble person. My father also called me a fool back then. Why didn't I still get help from you and Julius and successfully kill him and inherit the territory?"

"It's just that I still can't figure out how they killed the snake tide, and where did Petra go?"

The two of them thought about it for a while, but still couldn't figure it out, so they simply stopped thinking about it.

Anyway, Lodi didn't seem suspicious of them, and that was enough.

"In any case, it seems that this matter has been overturned. I will never mention it again in the future." Lord Black Marsh said.

"Yes, I know. Just pretend that nothing happened." Lord Lingfeng nodded immediately.

"Yes, nothing happened. I have already made arrangements with the officers of the third battalion. They were very dissatisfied with Lodi for killing Julius. After a while, Baron Swift took the officers of the third battalion. When we come to inspect, we will unite and we will be able to completely drive the Salen family out of Istiat!"

At this point, Lord Black Marsh suddenly changed the subject and emphasized to Lord Lingfeng: "However, during this period, we must not have any conflict with Talon Territory. They are a team that can annihilate the snake tide. , let’s not provoke him easily.”

"Nonsense, of course I know this." Lord Lingfeng nodded immediately.

The two people recalled the well-disciplined and well-defended positions they had just seen, as well as the armor-clad and polite Lodi. I can’t say why, but I always feel a little nervous and uneasy.
