Chapter 28 Visiting the Door (Part 1)
"Three elders, I think everyone has seen some good things in our territory. Uncle
Harland, Uncle Bellam, and the equipment of our Monterey family's private army are as good as the kingdom's standing elite. You two know the configuration of the legion. These equipments are all produced by our own company at Fort Monterey.
Grandpa Pedro, the output of the ironworks workshops in the Greystone Territory is constantly rising, and you know this best. In the past ,
the iron mine was just enough to support a barony. Now, in just one or two months, the output has doubled, and it is far from the limit. If it continues to develop, I am afraid that it will not even be the pillar industry of the average viscount family. So.
I also want to continue to immerse ourselves in development, but we have no room to move. If we continue to develop, we will become lambs on the tables of the nobles.
Although the Norton family is very good to us now, they are also interests Creatures. When our Monterey family lost its value, they left us behind. If we become a piece of pure fat, they may attack us."
After hearing this, the three people's expressions couldn't help but become solemn, and they also Acquiesced to Levi's point of view.
"Not only that, we also need a higher title and wider connections, otherwise many things will not be able to obtain the benefits they deserve.
Just like the counterweighted trebuchet we presented this time, at least we still have a channel Dedicate it to Earl Norton, otherwise this thing will be dead in your hands.
Let's change our thinking again. If our Monterey family and the Marquis of Ashan have an old relationship, then the benefits brought by the counterweight trebuchet are more than this?
Earl Norton Frankly speaking, he is very grateful to me. This time his family has obtained a viscounty and a barony in the hinterland county, so this time the Norton family is willing to provide us with convenience.
So three seniors, I must seize this opportunity. , Grandpa has been wasting more than ten years without encountering a suitable opportunity, how can I give up casually!"
"Lord Baron", at this moment, the already old Pedro looked even more depressed, "I support your idea , just let me stay behind for you." After all, old Pedro chose to support Levi.
Cavalry Captain Harland and Guard Captain Beram looked at each other, and then said in unison: "Lord Baron, we support you!" Levi
did not feel relieved at this moment, but the pressure on him was even greater.
"Okay, then let's get ready. This time I will take 50 third-level regular soldiers and 150 second-level senior auxiliary soldiers. Uncle Harland and Uncle Beram will accompany me.
Grandpa Pedro, Monterey The fort is left to you! If the enemy is too strong to resist, you don't have to defend it. If you save people and lose the land, you will save both people and land; if you save the land and lose people, you will lose both people and land." "
Don't worry, I will definitely defend Monte for you. Fort Lee!"
Two days later, a group of more than 200 people set off from Fort Monterey in a mighty manner.
Fifty elite third-level regular soldiers are equipped with two horses each, and the remaining 150 second-level senior auxiliary soldiers are also equipped with one ordinary combat horse and one draft horse. Levi's idea is that since his own strength is limited, he should take the elite route.
Not only are the third-level regular soldiers armed to the teeth, but other soldiers are also equipped with war horses to maintain their high mobility. If you can win, fight; if you can't, run away.
After three days of normal marching, Levi and his private troops finally arrived at Mantra City, the capital of Greene County and the headquarters of the Norton family.
After setting up camp at the location designated by the Norton family outside the city, Levi called on Beram and Harland.
"Uncles, I'm going to visit Earl Norton. You two, please come with me."
The two of them promised. Fifteen minutes later, Levi arrived outside the Earl's Mansion accompanied by the two of them.
After reporting his identity, handing over his name card and five extraordinary pieces of equipment as house gifts, the steward of Earl Norton's family respectfully welcomed Levi into the living room.
"Lord Baron, my Earl has already given instructions. You are a distinguished guest of our Norton family and you cannot be neglected. Please wait a moment. Your Earl is still handling official business. He will be here soon." In less than five
minutes, along with There was a burst of hearty laughter outside the door, and a middle-aged man with extraordinary bearing walked into the living room.
I saw that the other party was tall and tall. When he entered the house, he walked like a lion patrolling his territory. Although his temples are slightly freckles, his face is as strong as iron, his eyes are as sharp as a sword, and there is not a trace of twilight in his body.
"Hahaha, you are the boy from the Monterey family. Speaking of which, your grandfather and I have known each other for almost 30 years. You and he are exactly the same.
This time, our Norton family took a big advantage of you. I'm so embarrassed."
"Your Majesty, Earl, you are serious. Our Monterey family was able to barely get started thanks to the support of the Norton family. Originally, the Norton family was indebted to our Monterey family.
As for this matter, it was you. I am willing, a win-win cooperation for both parties. The counterweight trebuchet can only shine in the hands of the Norton family. If it were left to others, the Marquis of Ashan would not pay so much attention to it. So
it is not that the Norton family has taken advantage of me, but Only the Norton family can bring out the value of the counterweight trebuchet.
More importantly, thanks to your support during this period, our Black Mountain Territory can develop without distraction. You have supported so much food, materials, craftsmen, young people It's a timely help for us!"
"Hahaha, boy, your mouth is so slippery, as if it's been smeared with honey. I remember your name is Levi, Levi Monterey, right." "
Yes, Sir Earl, thank you. Your note."
"Little Levi, since we are all relatives, I will call you this. Little Levi, have you thought clearly about coming here this time?" "
Yes, Lord Earl, I have already thought about it. , this opportunity is rare. I want to complete the unfinished business of my grandfather. This time I brought 50 third-level regular soldiers and 150 second-level senior regular soldiers." "
Two fourth-level senior martial arts cultivators plus 50 third-level regular soldiers. ? Little guy, your skills are not small. An ordinary viscount can only produce a hundred third-level people, and not all of them will be dispatched." "
Yes, Lord Earl, if you want to bet, then make a big bet. "
The little guy is quite courageous." Earl Norton pondered for a moment and said, "The power you bring is much more than I expected. My previous arrangement was not suitable."
Levi hesitated for a moment and gritted his teeth. : "Your Majesty, the power I carry is actually more than that."
"Oh? I remember Gallieu told me that you also have a fourth-level pet. Are you referring to it?" "
To be honest, Your Majesty, I My contracted magic pet has advanced to the fifth level."
At this time, Scotty Norton was suddenly shocked. He was not shocked by a fifth-level combat power, but was shocked by Levi's talent!
Let me emphasize it again: power, wealth, and strength complement each other! The money a lone ranger makes working for others will never be as much as being a big boss! The nobles can rely on resources to practice their cultivation
