Chapter 96: Don’t be on the wrong team in the next life!
On the wall of Oak City, a crimson flag was fluttering in the wind.
Just like Leon's heart, it was as red as purple.
The pattern in the center of the flag is a double-headed eagle painted in bright yellow paint.
This is the new family emblem that Leon designed for the Jimena family a few months ago.
You know, in the Kingdom of Andal, there are countless nobles with falcon as their family emblem.
The image of the Jimena family was originally a bald eagle with its legs and wings spread out, making it look so big.
However, as a time traveler, Leon felt that it was too unlucky and did not conform to his own aesthetics, so after careful discussions with Aaron, he designed this new flag that had never flown on this continent, and It has been unanimously approved by everyone in Antolia.
In the eyes of different people, the double-headed eagle's emblem has different symbolic meanings.
First of all, the two heads of the double-headed eagle respectively symbolize the dual bloodlines of the Jimena family, that is, the original Jimena family inheritance and the ancestors' inheritance jointly fabricated by Leon and Fast.
The two sharp talons of the double-headed eagle each step on a sharp blade, symbolizing that the territory of the Jimena family will span the mountains north and south, and will use force to defend themselves against the two major territories of Antolia and the Abandoned Land. Legitimate claims of core interests.
Aaron's evaluation of this is that the meaning is profound and the pattern is very majestic.
The meaning is very profound, just like what is written above. As for the pattern, it is very awe-inspiring... The
emblem of the Jimena family was designed by Leon based on the national emblem of the Byzantine Empire in the previous life. How could it not be awe-inspiring?
Dongluo is also Luo!
Furthermore, most of the emblems of other nobles are real-life creatures or weapons, but the Jimena family is a double-headed eagle!
This kind of creature that only exists in legends is directly different from the other nobles!
Therefore, looking at the flags flying on the walls of Oak City, Leon's heart was filled with excitement.
No way, this is the first time since he inherited the title that the flag of the Jimena family has flown outside of Antolia!
At the same time, other nobles were not at peace either.
However, the reason why the nobles are not calm is slightly different from Leon.
They thought that under the Oak City, they would be greeted by a fierce battle and a city attack and defense that would cause heavy damage.
Unexpectedly, before the large army arrived, the Antolian army, which only had a few hundred people in total, could easily capture the city.
Is the kingdom's military weak?
Perhaps it was not considered powerful, after all, almost all of the elite troops in the hands of Wilbert I were sent to the northern frontier of the kingdom to resist the northern rebels led by Perel.
But the question is...
are their armies strong?
Except for Antolia's army, each of their militiamen is worse than the last!
The nobles asked themselves, even if they let the army under the Duke of Galicia attack the city, it would not be so easy.
Hiss...
Thinking of this, the nobles surrounding Leon couldn't help but take a breath of shadow monster.
The strength of the Antolians is so terrifying!
"Actually, it's just a coincidence!"
On the way into the city, Leon was in a good mood. He didn't know whether it was intentional or not, and he began to "consol" the nobles around him in a decent way: "Actually,
An The strength of Tolia's army is far from that of the kingdom's army." "The one who
captured this city was the Lapruk Army led by Andrew. They are all people who have lived in Antolia for generations. Mountain people are much tougher than ordinary soldiers."
"In addition, this is their first time to participate in the kingdom's civil war. As the old saying goes, recruits are lucky!" They
are all new recruits!
The reaction of the other nobles may not be fierce, but Earl Colt's heart has already set off a storm.
As a close associate of the Duke of Galicia, Count Colt still knows something about Antolia.
In the cold winter, hounds attack the city, and on weekdays there are mountain people causing trouble. Although the mercenaries are brave, their living environment is extremely difficult.
This is what Earl Colt has always known about Antolia.
And now, Leon actually said that the army of Lapruk was composed of mountain people!
Does this mean that...
the Jimena family has at least completely controlled a large mountain tribe, and may even have communication and exchanges with more mountain tribes? !
Otherwise, how could the mountain people fight for the Jimena family!
If this is really the case, then Count Colt can no longer imagine the true military strength of Antolia.
The only thing that made him feel lucky was that the number of mountain people who went with the army was only about 600, and this may also mean that the Jimena family has not yet fully included the mountain people living in Antolia under its command. .
I think should not be?
Earl Colt thought with some uncertainty.
But no matter what, everything Leon said was enough to make him wary!
Because he suddenly discovered that neither he nor the Duke knew much about the real situation in Antolia.
If there is enough time, the Jimena family is bound to become another powerful vassal after the Earl of Brabant!
This news must be reported to the Duke!
At this moment, Earl Colt thought secretly.
Behind Earl Colt, in addition to Collander Wayne who looked excited, Viscount Justin Surrey of Ram City and Viscount Marcelo Fisher of Stonehedge City looked at each other. It seems that some decision has been made.
...
It's night.
When the dark night shrouded the sky over the city, a fast horse was seen jumping out from the city gate and galloping towards the dense forest in the distance.
But in just a moment, an arrow struck the cavalryman's neck, causing the cavalryman to fall off his horse.
Andrew led dozens of Lapluk warriors to come from all around, spat with disgust on his face, and then rummaged through the cavalryman's body.
After a while, a letter sealed with wax was placed on Leon's desk.
"The Duke doesn't trust me after all!"
"Right now, we should be working together on the Northern Expedition, but we have to put spies around me."
Leon opened the letter that was supposed to be delivered to the Duke indifferently and took it as his After scanning the contents, although there was a flash of sharpness in his eyes, he still said with a smile.
"The current situation in Oak City is unstable. The prisoners loyal to King Wilbert I went on a rampage and killed people, resulting in the unfortunate death of Earl Colt."
Justin Surrey, Viscount of Ram City, who was supposed to be resting in his room, was standing in front of Leon at this moment and said without hesitation.
"What do you think?"
Leon did not answer, but just looked at the Viscount of Shili City on the other side.
"It should be so."
Viscount Shilicheng said.
