Chapter 90:
In the troop transfer room, Levi drank hot milk, took a casual bite of snacks, and thought about how to speak for a while.
On the way to Snow Dragon Fortress after the Battle of Duolun Peak, Viscount Omei gave Li Wei a lot of information about important figures in the newly expanded five counties.
According to his cheap brother Viscount Ome, this Viscount Hells is not a character to be fooled.
The Hulls family itself is a long-established viscount aristocracy. Before this Viscount Hulls succeeded to the throne, they owned three viscounts. Later, the Viscount of Hells fought hard to create two viscounty territories in the last pioneering war against the Orc Empire.
According to the May Day promotion law, Viscount Hells can be promoted to earl if he owns three viscountries and has obtained military merit equivalent to two viscountries.
It's a pity that the actual earl is a carrot and a pit. Normally, a border county is only allowed to have one actual earl. When the final count was ranked for military merit, Viscount Hells was not included.
But Viscount Hells needs to be treated with caution by a small character like Levi, both in terms of family power and personal ability.
Just like this time, Li Wei wanted to second a large group of Ice Knights to participate in the encirclement and suppression of the orc detachment that penetrated to the rear. This matter was difficult to talk about.
If the person in charge of the affairs of Luke's Fortress is an ordinary person or even a drunkard, then Li Wei can just fool him casually. Anyway, the transfer order given to him by the Marquis of Ashan is genuine. In principle, he can stand up. If it doesn't work, just bring up the name of Marquis Ashan and forcefully suppress the opponent.
But not against Viscount Hells.
First of all, the Viscount of Hells could make great contributions in the last war. Such a role is not easy to fool, and Li Wei does not want to expose his strategic intentions.
If the other party successfully came up with the idea that he wanted to "bet" that the group of orcs passing through would attack the grain road in Crowfall Forest, then Viscount Hells would allow himself to transfer one of the troops from Luke's Fortress. Important defensive force to gamble?
After all, who knows how many orc armies are inserted into the rear like this? Levi went gambling, but all the risks were borne by Luke's Fortress.
In addition, if the Viscount, an expert in art, is bold enough to bet heavily on himself to participate in this "gamble", then more than half of the military achievements that Li Wei could have monopolized will be shared, which is something he doesn't want to do. To be seen.
You must use a set of rhetoric to "deceive" the other party.
Soon, after Levi drank a whole glass of hot milk and finished his third snack, the waiter came to report that it was Viscount Hells who invited him.
After walking through the dark and winding corridors and stairs, Levi arrived at Viscount Hells' office.
"Hello, Viscount Hells, I am Levi Monterey. It is a great honor to meet you, a famous general of the kingdom. The
great achievements you made in the last development war of the kingdom against the Orc Empire are even more impressive than ours." This generation of young people is also known to everyone."
"Hahaha, Baron Monterey is ridiculous, I am already old, and the future belongs to you young people after all. Your performance in Toronto can be called a textbook Feng Dajie is something that even a bad old man like me can't help but feel sorry for."
After the two met, Li Wei did not encounter any difficulties as expected, and the two sides had a business exchange that made the atmosphere very harmonious.
"Viscount Hells, you know, I came here this time to mobilize a large group of Ice Knights under the order of Marquis Ashan. This is my troop deployment approval document." As he
spoke, Levi took out a document , pushed it to Viscount Helles on the desk.
Viscount Hells pushed up his reading glasses and read the document over and over again, making Levi nervous. "The young man is very good. He can actually win the favor of the Marquis. It is not an easy task to get such an approval letter from the Marquis."
Levi looked at Viscount Hells' half-smiling expression and expressed his emotion. I know that the other party has seen the loopholes in this approval document.
At that time, the Marquis of Ashan gave himself a half-blank approval document for troop deployment. This document only mentioned the number of troops to be mobilized, but the specific details of where and when the troops were to be mobilized were not written. These things had to be done by Li Wei. Fill it out yourself.
The result that Levi filled in himself was that the handwriting on it was different.
However, since this approval document has the signature of Marquis Ashan and the official seal of the military headquarters of the newly expanded five counties, it is naturally valid.
"Haha, this is also the junior's luck to gain the trust of the Marquis. The Marquis sent me here to perform a task, but did not send additional troops.
First, the troop's marching speed is limited and there is no time. Second, this task does not necessarily require an army. , and finally the Marquis gave me this approval document in case of emergency."
"Can you tell me what it is? Of course, if it is inconvenient, forget it?" Viscount Hells asked with interest.
"Um~~" Li Wei deliberately pretended to be embarrassed, and then gritted his teeth and replied: "You are not an outsider, so I will tell you a little bit.
You should know that our newly expanded five counties have insufficient logistics supplies. It's easy, but once a large number of reinforcements from the kingdom arrive, it will be very expensive to transfer the grain and fodder from the hinterland counties of the kingdom. The
Marquis is worried that if the army does not have enough grain and fodder, the kingdom will choose to expand our five new counties. Searching for food and grass is not a good thing."
Viscount Hells nodded, but then asked: "That's true, but what does this have to do with you coming here to mobilize troops?"
"It has a lot to do with it!" Levi After a pause, he said: "Master Yelena, you must know that Master Yelena recently took the lead in organizing research on a drug that can ripen grains and increase production.
This drug is called Luoya drug, which can shorten the production cycle of food crops. to one-third of the original volume, and at the same time, the output increased by 25%.
If this medicine can be rolled out in the newly expanded five counties, the logistical pressure on the frontline army can be greatly reduced.
Although the use of Roja medicine to ripen Crops will increase the cost of food to three or four times the original, but the cost is definitely lower than transporting it from the hinterland of the kingdom. However, the only concern is that this kind of medicine is difficult to mass-produce. The
junior also happened to be involved in the production of Roja medicine. Research and development, the mass production of this potion has already begun, but there are several extraordinary materials that need to be found in the Evernight Forest. The task of this junior is related to this.
Originally, I was going to find some hunters to help me, but you I know the strength of most hunters~~
As for the more specific details, it’s really inconvenient for me as a junior, so please forgive me, Viscount Hells."
Logically speaking, Levi’s half-truth and half-false narrative means It makes sense, now it depends on whether Viscount Hells is willing to delve deeper into this matter.
