He didn't say anything, he just regarded Princess Lily as his friend.When her friends are in trouble, she will help them.

They are both helping, but the feeling is completely different.

Agnes knows a lot, but she doesn't understand the Oro people.

Chapter 081 Some people win and some lose.

The war against Earl Gruul started in early December and lasted for more than a month and ended.

On the third day after the New Year, Earl Gruul finally surrendered to Roland.

The reason for this war was dignity punishment, so no territorial changes occurred.

After all, we are all imperial ministers, so there is no need to fight to the death.

Gruul accepted all the conditions proposed by Roland, but also put forward additional clauses. Roland was not allowed to publicize any details of the war to the outside world.

The so-called war details are naturally the Cyclops.

In this era before cameras and video recording equipment, the only way to record video was to use an expensive magic crystal ball.

It was clear that neither Gruul nor Roland would pay the fee.

The legend of the Cyclops is ultimately just a legend.

Roland accepted the conditions generously.

He would not admit that it was Count Gruhl who had increased the amount of war reparations, but it was a fact.

A boring war, Roland made a lot of money.

He severely damaged Earl Gruul's base during the war. In the foreseeable future, this unfortunate Earl is unlikely to pose a threat to him.

Not only that, Roland also plans to make the Gruul family "withdraw from the stage of history" in the near future.

Gruul would rather spend an extra [-] gold coins in compensation to keep the Cyclops's secret, which is almost tantamount to self-exploding his identity.

He was helpless but had no choice.

This is war, the winner takes everything and the loser gets nothing.

These gains alone were enough for Roland to declare a great victory, but Roland gained even more outside the battlefield.

The elves and druids under his command drew detailed maps of the entire southern Gruul province and gained a comprehensive understanding of the mountains and landforms here.

They also planted special seeds in key areas.

When these seeds are activated, they turn into terrifying war machines.

These arrangements are all preparations for future tree preservation wars.

The fanatical goblin is not a loser like Gruul.

In addition, Roland is more confident about replacing the Gruul family.

Giants are distant relatives of the human race. Even if Gruul's giant lineage is revealed, the human race will not be wiped out, but the title of nobility will not be considered.

How could the noble title of the human race be conferred on a poor relative like a giant?

The title of Earl Gruul will definitely be vacant. As long as he earns enough reputation, he can obtain this title naturally.

The Earldom of Gruul belongs to him, and no one can take it away from him.

Roland believed that Münhausen could be restored to its former glory, but until then he needed hens that would lay golden eggs, and the city of Gruhl was a perfect fit.

In addition to these gains, there are also hidden clues that he values ​​​​more.

Oro Kingdom.

According to the conclusions he calculated from the bugs in the system, if the goblins made a desperate move, they could send out a combat power that was no less than that of the complete empire of the human race.

These are just the three major chaebols, Whitewater, Blackwater and Goldtooth. If they are willing to spend money and hire half-orcs and halflings who are not living a satisfactory life to join the war, the tree-preserving war will be even more difficult.

The World Tree is enough to change the world structure.

Some people want to profit from it, and some people want to destroy it all.

From the perspective of the human race, it is best not to have the World Tree appear. If it must appear, it must be controlled by oneself.

After the true face of the World Tree is revealed, Roland believes that there will be heroes who are knowledgeable about current affairs to cooperate with him, and there will also be desperate guys who will cooperate with the goblins.

What he has to do is to win as many people as possible to his side.

His loyal team is the Kingdom of Luojia, the idle elves and the Druid sect.

The Druid sect is the most powerful among these three forces, but there are factional disputes within the Druid sect and it has its own base, so it is impossible to devote all of it.

The Luojia Kingdom is also very powerful, but it also has its fundamentals to defend.

There are many idle elves, but they are very loose.

In this crusade, they played a role, but far less than the Lorgar elves and druids.

How to twist these idle elves into a rope, he has a headache.

The candidate in his mind was Melanies, but he was just worried that Melanies wouldn't be qualified.I can only think of ways to support her as much as possible.

Although these idle elves are down and out, they still have the same bad habits as when they were in their glory days.

Only General Yulin and Yuehua Sacrifice from the Feisi tribe are better. They are at least more down-to-earth.

After finishing his trip to Gruul, Roland withdrew from the forest surrounding the Earl's castle, led his army and set off proudly with the loot.

When his army left, many residents and businessmen were reluctant to see each other off on both sides of the road. There were even many smart businessmen who followed Roland with their caravans.

These businessmen saw clearly that Mr. Gruul had suffered a great injustice this time and lost a lot of money, and he would definitely want to get it back as soon as possible.

If you don’t run away now, why don’t you keep it as a leek?

A successful businessman has a very keen sense of smell and will not give the sickle a chance.

Only those guys who are lucky and clever will be punished.

When Gruul returned to the city hall with a gloomy face, he was shocked to find that everything had changed.

Gruul City is still the same Gruul City, but it is much deserted.

Looking at this mess, Mr. Gruul naturally wanted to vigorously rectify it.

His first order was to charge twice the toll from passing merchants within three months.

Counselor Woma quickly dissuaded him, hoping that he would not go too far.

However, Mr. Gruul could not listen to any objections now. He roared loudly at Woma:

"I don't charge heavy taxes. Who will make up for my losses? How can I use the money to expand the armament? How can I use it to appease the remaining people... In short, this tax must be collected!"

"This kid Roland hasn't collected much tax in the past month or so, so I happened to collect it for him!"

Woma looked at Gruul in astonishment, suddenly feeling that the young master was very strange.

He was silent for a long time, forced a smile and said slowly: "I am very happy that the young master has matured. Don't worry, I will take the caravan out as soon as possible to help you solve the financial problem."

Seeing Woma supporting him, Gruul smiled happily.

He patted Woma's shoulder hard, smiled and said:

"Mr. Woma, you were there to assist my father when he was alive. I have inherited the title for five years, but you have been doing business outside and refused to assist me."

"Why don't you leave this time. Stay, I'm short of people here."

Woma looked at Gruul's honest smile, and the words of promise stopped abruptly when he reached his lips.

Because he saw that there was no smile in Gruul's vertical pupils, only the cold murderous intent surging.

Not only does the young master not have his father's brains, he also doesn't have his father's magnanimity.

He did not dare to refuse face to face, so he smiled and said: "Okay, I will rescue the young master and work for you after I make up for the shortfall in funds!"

Seeing Woma turning away, Gruul's smile disappeared instantly, and his expression became particularly ferocious.

He wants revenge, he must take revenge!

Roland not only insulted him, but also killed several tribesmen. This revenge must be avenged!

Chapter 082 Cruelty and Greediness

Roland didn't know that Gruul was cursing him in a distant place.

Even if you know, you won't care.

Gruul's curse is nothing more than the impotent rage of the weak.

Count Gruul is indeed no ordinary count, but Roland's strength is no ordinary viscount either.

Not to mention viscounts, most dukes couldn't touch porcelain.

This does not include the comparison of Luojia Kingdom.

If the Luojia Kingdom is included, there are only a few emperors and leaders of super organizations who are stronger than him.

On the way back to the city, everyone was in high spirits, and Roland could not hide his joy.

Although the situation of protecting the tree is still serious, it is much better than the situation a few months ago when there was no chance of winning.

As long as he has no problems with his thinking, unites his existing forces, and finds ways to attract new sponsors, there is great hope.

As he rode his white horse forward with the troops, a fiery red-maned lion roared and charged from a distance.

The moon blade beasts were a little nervous when they saw the flaming lion, and they all went into alert mode.

The moon blade beast and the long-maned lion are both domesticated monsters, but the blood level of the moon blade beast is obviously lower than that of the long-maned lion.

Although the beasts are numerous and powerful, they do not dare to take the initiative to provoke.

Seeing the knight on the lion's back, the elf knights gave way one after another, not daring to stop him.

Riding on the lion was Granny, who was as tall and majestic as a Valkyrie.

All the soldiers under Roland's command knew Granny.She has a free and easy personality, and is popular with people. Although she has a bad temper, she is deeply trusted by Roland, and he can only consider himself unlucky if he is frightened by her.

The elven knights all gave way to the way and secretly laughed at the barbarians for their rudeness.

This long-maned fiery lion was Roland's trophy at the Battle of Gruul.

Although he hides in the human race in the form of a human giant, Count Gruul's figure is definitely tall and mighty among the human race.

With a height of more than two meters and a weight of nearly three hundred kilograms, it is a nightmare for a war horse.

As an earl, he refused to stoop to fighting on foot, so he spent a lot of money to buy the lion.

Unfortunately, he was not very lucky. When the castle was surrounded, the lion happened to be kept in the earl's mansion behind the city hall, and then it naturally became Roland's trophy.

Roland didn't need this grumpy mount, so he gave it to Granny.

The long-maned red-haired lion has a violent personality and a simple mind. It is difficult to accept other owners after recognizing its owner.

Roland was a little curious about how Granny subdued this beast.

Granny did not disappoint him. She directly wore leather armor and challenged the long-maned lion to a duel.

Although the lion was extremely powerful, he was still a stupid monster with no intelligence. He was completely crushed by Granny in terms of strength, skill and intelligence, and was beaten brutally.

In the next few days, Granny beat the long-maned lion three times a day, and then was locked up and fed only vegetarian food, while she set up a barbecue next to her and feasted.

Under the double blow of Granny's cruel methods and the delicious smell of barbecue, the long-maned lion made a decision that went against his ancestors and turned from darkness to light.

If it could speak, it would definitely defend itself.

It's not that the bones are soft, but the flavor of the barbecue is so fragrant.

The long-maned lion thus became Granny's mount.

After creating a set of exclusive mount armor, it became Granny's right-hand assistant.

This lion has great fighting ability, and its speed, endurance, and strength are excellent. The only drawback is that it eats dozens of kilograms of meat every day, which is more than Granny can eat.

After ordering Granny, he was still craving for the smell of barbecue.

Fortunately, there is only one such lion, and Roland can afford it.

It would prevent Granny from walking to the battlefield every day, and it would be no problem even if she could eat ten times more.

Granny didn't want the lion to frighten Roland's mount, so she turned over and dismounted from the lion dozens of meters away, patted the lion's back to make it lie down, and quickly came to Roland.
