Chapter 469
On this day, after Zhang Qiang finished dealing with the affairs of Earl Siwa's territory, he returned from the castle hall to the lord's hall of Earl Siwa. He saw a middle-aged man with a beard who was about 30 years old sitting on the seat of Earl Siwa.

He and Earl Siwa were talking happily.

Zhang Qiang checked carefully and found that he was one of the men chatting around Delina that day.

"Viscount Zhang Qiang, come, let me introduce you. This is the lord of Kumbaboye in Djerpo Village. He was also at the coronation ceremony of the Marquis of Rodrabeye that day. You met." Siva said. said the count happily.

"Oh, it turned out to be Kumbababoye. I wonder what you want to talk to us about in Lunvadia Castle today?" Zhang Qiang walked towards the middle-aged man pretending to be enthusiastic.

He really has nothing to be happy about now. The Kujit are already aggressive. They have sent rangers to invade Zhang Qiang’s territory several times. The militiamen in the army have long been in disarray. In this way, the Kujit people who are good at sneak attacks still caused some losses to Zhang Qiang. After all, fighting will kill people.

He is now focused on developing the economy of the territory, and economic development requires a stable environment. The harassment of the Kugits has caused many businessmen, especially those from the mountain pass of the Kingdom of Salander, and the businessmen from the Kingdom of Swadia, They didn't dare to approach Zhang Qiang's territory, which caused Zhang Qiang's income to decrease sharply during this period, and Zhang Qiang was very angry.

As for Earl Siwa, his army was stationed inside the castle, and the patrols only patrolled around the castle. With Zhang Qiang's territory surrounding his territory, it was impossible for his soldiers to encounter Kujit.If the Kugits were allowed to break through to Earl Siwa's castle, then Zhang Qiang's territory would have been ravaged by the Kugit cavalry long ago.

This was absolutely not allowed by Zhang Qiang. He resolutely kept the Kujit harassing troops at the periphery and prevented them from breaking through to the core area at all.

So Earl Siwa didn’t have much loss at all, he collected his taxes as usual, a lot of money, and as his chief minister, Zhang Qiang’s share of offerings could not be exempted. His tax was originally only a symbolic one-tenth, but now it is one-fifth, which is much higher than that of the general lords on the mainland to the superior lords. The general lords only pay one-sixth to their own lords. That's all.

This made Zhang Qiang very depressed, wondering why Earl Siwa did this?

But he never had time to sit down with Count Siwa.

Kumbaboye smiled and said, "I heard that Viscount Zhang Qiang is very powerful. It just so happened that the Nords' attacks have not been so fierce these days. We just recaptured Fort Jerber. The Nords were unable to attack again. So I came here to do a task assigned by Miss Delina."

Zhang Qiang frowned, squinting at him.

"Miss Delina's mission?"

Earl Siwa smiled and said: "Yes, this little girl just wants to see the men she likes become stronger one by one, so she thinks that if her suitors can have a duel, she will prefer the one who is willing to fight for her. A man who fights, he feels that such a man is indomitable and admirable."

Zhang Qiang held his forehead, these little girls just know how to make trouble.

If it was an ordinary girl, Zhang Qiang would have flung his sleeves and left. He would never be a foolish and impulsive young man, wasting his life in absolutes. Rod Laboye publicly announced the news of his daughter's marriage to him, and asked him to prepare a bride price, waiting for him to choose a good time to hold a wedding for the two of them. If he offended Delina at this time, their relationship would decline, It's his career that's been affected.

"Viscount Zhang Qiang, do you accept my challenge?" Kumbaboye stood up and said seriously.

"What if I don't accept your challenge?" Zhang Qiang asked.

"Then please give me Miss Delina, your reputation will be damaged, your reputation will be reduced, maybe—Rod Laboye will seriously consider your relationship with the Marquis of Vikia. "Kumbaboye said arrogantly.

"Then, let the horse come over." Zhang Qiang said weakly.

"Very well, see you on the battlefield!" Kumbabpoye's chin almost reached his forehead.

Zhang Qiang glanced at Earl Siwa, who smoothed things over with a smile, "Young man, a duel for your beloved woman will make your beloved woman admire you more and win her favor, go, get ready, Go to the castle arena, you can choose the weapon or fighting style you are good at, and the first to stun the opponent is the winner."

Watching Kumbah go down to prepare, Zhang Qiang said to Earl Siwa: "Lord Earl, we are about to start a war with the Kujit Kingdom. At this time, you arrange for me to fight him. If I can't beat him, you will lose." A general? This will be a great loss to our strength."

Earl Siwa smiled and said: "It's just a duel, nothing more, go ahead and prepare, I will let him show mercy."

Zhang Qiang shook his head. He had never been in contact with Kumbaboye, so he didn't know the details of this person, what his lord skills were, and what kind of battle he was good at. This hasty challenge was likely to fall into the opponent's conspiracy. "

He hated such a one-on-one duel.

This is also the reason why he never went to the arena to gain prestige when he entered the game. He didn't want others to watch him like a monkey.

After Zhang Qiang went out, Earl Siwa was the only one left in the lord's hall. A person walked out from behind and said to Earl Siwa: "This arrangement is not bad. First, hurt him so that he cannot command his own army. If he fails Now, his prestige will be damaged, his strength will be reduced, and the resistance of the Kujit will be reduced."

Earl Siwa's face turned cold, "I've had enough of peaceful days, but he lives a very nourishing life and enjoys it very much. I am very eager to fight."

Feng Qingyang smiled and said: "When you fight, the Kujit army will gather in Lana City in a few days. If you can declare your submission to the Kujit Kingdom at that time, then you will have your current The three castles, and the three village territories under his command, that is to say, this place is all yours.

You will become another Khan of the Kujit Kingdom, just like the former Khan of Nayan Asugan, whose status is not lower than that of the Marquis of Vikia. If you insist on becoming the Marshal of the Kingdom of Swadia, then, Your territory will be swept by the Kujit army like a storm, everything here will be turned into ashes, ruins, and it is still the territory of the Kujit Kingdom.

And you..."

He turned his head and looked at Earl Siwa, "Just wait in prison and wait for the war to be redeemed by your king. At that time, you will have no army, no territory, and you will become a wandering earl. Imagine those The misery of the wandering count."

Earl Shiva shivered, and stammered: "Needless to say, I have felt the misery of the wandering earl since Salander betrayed Sultan Hakim, so I have always been trembling , working hard to become a powerful lord, so many years of hard work have finally paid off."
