Chapter 103 104 Getting there first

Chapter 103 104. Be the first to arrive

Luo Ning read the words on the parchment, anger slowly rising in his heart. ♡♢

If he were on earth now, he would have said those four indecent words long ago.

But in front of Rulans, he still restrained himself a little, but he couldn't help showing an unnatural expression on his face.

To be honest, he didn't expect that Thain would report the black-collar tribe's affairs and act so quickly.

Very well, this Baron Leisen disgusted him even more.

"Whether you come to Wushanbao today or not, you can't attack the black-collar tribe now."

Lulans noticed the change in the expression on Luo Ning's face.

Seeing his grandson being defeated, he couldn't help but want to laugh. It was not a bad thing for Luo Ning to suffer such a loss. It could help the other party understand more about the struggle for power.

"Since the Black Collar Tribe has been captured by Baron Leisen, it is no longer a savage tribe. Before the redistribution of Wushan Castle, it is temporarily controlled by Leisen."

"If you attack the black-collar tribe, it will be equivalent to unilaterally provoking a war against the Thain Territory. Baron Leisen can launch a denunciation against you in Wushan City in accordance with the laws of the nobility. At that time, you will face including Wushan. A joint trial of many nobles including the mountain castle.”

Luo Ning suppressed the anger in his heart and thought about what Lu Lansi said.

Indeed, after the Black Collar Tribe fell to the Thane Territory, he lost the opportunity.

Regardless of whether he came to Wushan Castle or not, and whether Baron Leisen sent this letter or not, Luo Ning's rash attack would mean a declaration of war.

He was also very fortunate that after conquering the Gray Earth Tribe that day, he did not lead a team to directly attack the Black Collar Tribe, otherwise he would have been very passive.

Rulans continued: "So, I can only give you the management rights of the three tribes. But similarly, I will also temporarily hand over the management rights of the Black Collar Tribe to the Thain Territory."

He smiled and said: "But because the Black Collar Tribe is the most powerful savage tribe, with a large area and a large number of people, I will charge Baron Leisen an operating fee of five hundred gold coins every year."

Well……

Luo Ning was stunned for a moment, then he felt like laughing, and the anger in his heart gradually subsided.

For a baron, it is still very painful to take out five hundred gold coins. Then Baron Leisen is afraid that he will have to sell a lot more cattle.

Putting it in his perspective, Leisen is probably also very angry with Luo Ning.

After all, the other party has probably controlled the Black Collar Tribe for a year or two. He was originally planning to slowly encroach on the other three tribes, but he never expected that Luo Ning would come to Shanlin Town.

He didn't even expect that Luo Ning would attack so quickly and capture the three tribes before he had time to react.

If Baron Leisen is given a chance, he will definitely lead the army to take down the three tribes in one fell swoop.

Now it is difficult for Luo Ning to attack the opponent, and similarly, it is difficult for him to attack him. For the time being, he can only maintain the status quo.

For Luo Ning, he and his opponent have long been feuding. It is a life-and-death feud. When the time is right, he will overthrow Baron Leisen in one fell swoop, and even swallow up the Thain Territory, leaving only the northern end of the Wushan Territory. He was the only noble left.

And there's one more thing worth noting.

It is very interesting that Baron Leisen sent this letter. He first sent the letter to his son, and then asked his son to send it to Rulans through Breton's relationship.

In other words, is Brayton behind Baron Leisen? Or rather, the Hyde family?

Anyway, it was to tell Lulans or Luo Ning that Thane had the backing.

After talking about this matter, Luo Ning's purpose of coming to Wushan City was half achieved, and he started to talk about home affairs.

"Grandpa, what happened to my father?"

He asked: "It's been more than a month now, have you found out who did it?"

"It's a killer organization called the Skull and Bones Society. You've heard of its name."

Luo Ning nodded. On the way to Hillwood Town, the magician Pedro who assassinated the siblings in Lake Town was from the Skull and Bones Society. He didn't expect that Wiggins's case was also related to this killer organization.

"Like the Black Gold Brotherhood and the Polish Thieves, it developed in the chaotic area south of the Osan Territory."

Rulans added: "This is the result of the Hyde family's investigation. They judged that the Skull and Bones Society is a branch of the Black and Gold Brotherhood."

Black and Gold Brotherhood…

Luo Ning had heard this name many times since he traveled through time, and he was a little surprised.

"What kind of organization is this brotherhood? It took so long to eliminate it, and it keeps coming back from time to time."

Rulans turned the crutch in his hand, and his mood would fluctuate when he mentioned this matter.

"There are many opinions from the outside world. Most people believe that it is an organization established by powerful knights who are unwilling to be loyal to the nobility. Its goal is to use force to create chaos at the junction of the Wushan Territory and the Principality of Vera and then establish its own territory."

new˙ɔoɯ

He sneered, "But I understand that these are all appearances. Behind the Black and Gold Brotherhood, there is definitely the support of the Principality of Vera!"

Luo Ning was secretly shocked.

The Principality of Vera is adjacent to the Marquis of Osan, and Earl Orson Hyde is called the Earl of the Border. This border refers to the area bordering the Principality of Vera.

However, the relationship between Wushan Territory and the Principality of Villa was very bad, and they even fought a war thirty years ago.

The final ceasefire was based on the mediation of Alduin's royal family.

The grudge between Wushan and Vera is ultimately rooted in the battle of Misty City.

That time was the battle for the "true king" between the Alduin royal family and the Tricia royal family in the south. At that time, the Wushan family and the Vera family were both earls, and both had made great achievements in battle.

In the final Battle of King Qin, Andrea Vera provided false intelligence, causing the kingdom commander to make wrong judgments, so that Rulans' team in the Mist City was surrounded by enemy troops.

Although he finally broke out of the siege, Rulans was seriously injured and has not recovered yet.

More importantly, the heir to the Osan family and Wiggins' eldest brother, Grimes, who was already a bronze-level knight at a young age, died in the battle.

Although Andrea tried his best to defend himself afterwards that he had nothing to do with this matter. He only submitted information and never guaranteed the authenticity of the information. However, the final result was that Rulans became a marquis and the Villa family was named Duke.

This also led to Rulans' hatred for the Principality of Vera. When he mentioned this matter, his heart, which should have been calm, still fluctuated.

The old Marquis sighed. He didn't want to continue talking about this matter in depth, so he changed the topic.

"After learning this information, both Wiggins and Brayton advocated launching a new round of war against the Black and Gold Brotherhood in the spring of next year to avenge the broken leg and at the same time show the strength of Wushanbao to the outside world."

He looked at Luo Ning, "Do you think we need to do this?"

Are you asking for your opinion?

Luo Ning thought carefully and said after a while: "I don't know much about the situation in the Black Gold Brotherhood, but launching a large-scale war before spring plowing is not a good choice."

"Furthermore, my father was assassinated in Earl Hyde's territory. Even if a new round of crusade against the Black Gold Brotherhood was to be launched, the Hyde family should send out the main force. This is what he should do as a vassal of the Osan family. "

As for showing Wushanbao's strength to the outside world, to be honest, the heirs of Wushanbao were assassinated, had their legs broken and almost died. Everyone knew what happened.

Unless Rulans takes action himself, this battle will not be enough to inspire people.

But he hasn't done much in more than 20 years.

He was sick and old and could no longer lift the sword.

Regarding Luo Ning's suggestion, Lulansi nodded inconspicuously.

In fact, he is unwilling to launch wars continuously, because the people who benefit the most from the war are not the Wushan family, nor the vassals who are loyal to him. The people who benefit more are the people from the Hyde family.

"I will consider your proposal."

Lulans stood up slowly and whistled toward the mountain.

The whistle was clear and loud, echoing in the mountains and forests. Luo Ning keenly discovered that there was a sound in the mountains and forests above, and there was a faint sense of oppression.

"Ouch~"

With a loud roar, a monster like a velociraptor jumped down from the mountain, carrying the energy of thunder and lightning. Luo Ning felt as if the air had been ionized, and his skin felt a slight electric shock and tingling sensation. feel.

This was the first time Luo Ning had seen a World of Warcraft in person after traveling through time, and it was still a Level 5 Warcraft. The surging energy coming from the opponent's body frightened him.

Even though he was now a dual-professional senior, facing this monster head-on, he had almost no chance of winning.

Rulans raised his hand and stroked the Thunder Chaser's head. The latter lowered his head slightly and arched it affectionately, like a docile puppy.

"I've been resting for so many years, and the old man is exhausted."

Lu Lansi chuckled and said, "I think when I rode it to fight, the ferocious aura it showed all over its body could scare ordinary extraordinary people out of fear."

He said and smiled at Luo Ning: "How about I give it to you?"
