Chapter 87 Leon was stunned by this (please subscribe!)
To be honest, Leon was not actually drawing pancakes, nor was he making pancakes.
This is the truest thought in his heart!
You know, although during this period, Leon made great efforts to promote many militiamen and Lapruk warriors, including Juan and Andrew, and also formed the First Antolian Militia Regiment and the Lapruk Army The two main armies.
However, Leon has never ignored the existence of Antoria mercenaries from beginning to end, let alone underestimate their strength.
This is the only cavalry in the entire Antolia region!
As for sending mercenaries to escort the convoy, ensuring the food route to Antolia was only one aspect. More importantly, it was for the future layout of him and Aaron.
From April to May, the land of Antolia is peaceful.
The war in the north has not affected this noble territory located at the southernmost tip of the Andal Kingdom at all.
On the contrary, the wheat in the black soil is growing stronger and stronger. Most of the wheat seedlings have changed from the original creeping shape to the upright shape, smearing a pleasant green on the farmland outside the city.
The construction of the bridge on the Bairen River has also been completed. After several weeks of cement solidification, the convoys and citizens traveling to and from the north and south banks of the Bairen River can finally pass on the bridge, which greatly facilitates transportation. As for Aaron, he has already started planning the location and regional planning of the new city on the other side of the river.
During this time, more and more mountain people walked out of the camps between the mountains. Some came to the Thorn Territory to open up wasteland for farming, while others headed to the southwest highlands under Leon's arrangement.
Especially the southwest highlands!
The discovery of iron ore made Leon pay more and more attention to the highland southwest of the Territory of Thorns, and also created a large number of new mining jobs. Therefore, the arrival of a large number of settlers made the originally simple settlement gradually become a brand new small town.
As a lord with a strong sense of responsibility and an excellent name, Leon gave this town a noble name, Mining Town.
Be straightforward and clear.
Everyone, including Aaron, was deeply impressed by the talent of their lord.
Although Antolia's militiamen stopped advancing deeper into the highlands, the mineral deposits just on the edge of the highlands were enough for Antolia to digest for a long time.
Every war has a purpose, and the only purpose of clearing out the Tall Birds is to exploit the mineral deposits in the southwest highlands, and by the way open the Bergori Pass connecting Antolia and the Abandoned Land.
Since Antolia currently does not have the ability to fully exploit the resources in the southwestern highlands, and the situation in the kingdom is changing all the time, Leon naturally does not need to rush to hunt the tall-footed strange birds.
All in all, everything in Antolia is going steadily and for the better.
Until a letter from the city of Palma broke the peace that this territory should have.
"The Duke of Galicia will summon all the vassals in the territory to go to the city of Parma for discussion!"
Leon's eyes swept across the people gathered in the lord's castle, and he calmly read out the order from the Duke of Galicia.
Obviously, the Duke finally couldn't hold it in any longer.
But the only question now is...
Does the Duke of Galicia want to support the rule of Wilbert I, or does he want to support the third prince Herson to take the throne?
Thinking of this, Leon increasingly felt the importance of intelligence.
Antolia's intelligence system cannot be said to be imperfect, it can only be said to be completely lacking.
Leon had a deep understanding of this as early as when Collins brought him news of the rebellion in the northern border of the kingdom.
Such important news as the Duke of Sadwind Castle's rebellion was actually brought back to him by Collins who went to Parma City to recruit students!
And now, the Duke of Galicia has summoned the vassals in the territory to hold a meeting, and he still hasn't figured out where the Duke of Galicia wants to stand!
"This time, the Duke should reveal his thoughts to many vassals, including the Viscount, and you can act accordingly. Anyway, so many vassals must be given the time they need to assemble the army. ."
"When the Viscount returns, there will still be enough time to plan."
Hearing this, Aaron said maturely and solemnly:
"Furthermore, the reason why the Duke of Galicia is so eager to summon the vassals this time is probably because of the war in the kingdom. There has been a big change that can affect the entire situation. You can wait and see what happens." "Anyway, the Viscount
has already thought about Antolia's position, and I will definitely support the Viscount's decision unconditionally."
Seeing Aaron After expressing his stance, everyone present naturally followed suit.
To be honest, during this period, the future path of Antolia was basically planned by Leon and Aaron.
As for Todd, Andrew and others, although they are here, they are not here completely. They mainly serve as an atmosphere team to make up the number of people. They only know how to fight all day long and have not grown up their brains yet.
And wizards like Collins and Kerman didn't even come.
Mages are not allowed to participate in noble conflicts.
This is the rule set by the Kingdom of Andal as early as the founding of the country.
The existence of any mage may become a variable on the battlefield, and is very likely to become the trigger for the expansion of the war.
After all, no matter how the domestic aristocratic conflict evolves, there will always be the Kingdom of Walras to the north of the kingdom. If the joining of mages destroys the Kingdom of Andal, then no noble will be able to gain favor.
After pondering for a moment, Leon made an immediate decision:
"In that case, Stan will go with me."
"It just so happens that we can take this opportunity to understand the current situation in the kingdom, at least to find out what happened to the rebels in the north. What a moth!"
Of course there are moths.
Otherwise, the Duke of Galicia’s summons would not have been so urgent and unexpected.
However, no matter how hard Leon thinks about it, it is all in vain.
Because after two days of running around, when Leon finally arrived in Parma City, the news that reached his ears shocked the young lord.
abstract!
It’s so abstract!
So much so that Leon once wondered whether this was a job that carbon-based organisms could do?
According to the latest news from the north of the kingdom, an elite force composed of northern mercenaries went all the way south and started a fierce battle with the king's army under the river valley city. Both sides suffered heavy casualties.
The Northland mercenaries attacked the city several times, but were repelled several times by the elite knights from the royal capital.
This arduous and fierce battle lasted for two full weeks, until the fifteenth day when the Battle of Riverdale City broke out... The
style of painting changed suddenly! ,
that day, when the early morning light beam dispersed the hazy morning fog, the nobles loyal to King Wilbert I were surprised to find that the Northland mercenaries who were supposed to launch a new round of attack on River Valley City disappeared in the river valley. Under the city.
Yubel Harin, the military minister guarding River Valley City, was full of doubts about this and didn't know what happened, so he sent people out of the city to find out.
And then...
from Walras to Antolia, from the Principality of Norton to the Eastern Kingdoms, all the forces that were paying attention to this battle for the throne were still in an extremely confused state until Leon arrived in the city of Parma. .
Because according to reliable sources, the mercenary unit loyal to the Duke of Sadwind Castle, the mercenary unit that frightened the entire kingdom, suddenly turned back the direction of the attack and was now heading north along the east bank of the Hom River, heading towards Kill Brundick, the Duke of Sorrowwind's headquarters.
Mercenary leader Sharp Coyle claimed that this was an armed march.
He wanted to lead his army to sit quietly under Brundick City and talk to his lord about his ideals and life.
Leon:? ? ?
Ahem! Any similarity is purely coincidental.
