Chapter 134 One day I will lead the horse

As the motorcade formed a circle and the bonfire was lit, the invited merchants also arrived one after another.

Everyone tacitly brought some food and drinks and had a meal together.

The earl and his wife naturally sat in the middle, and the countess also took off her hat with a veil.

"Distribute my snacks to everyone." Lady Tiona instructed the maid.

In such an occasion, she only needed to sit down and smile with white teeth.

The important thing was the significance of the earl and his wife coming out in person.

Don't you see, the countess is graceful, but does anyone dare to look up and take a second look?

On the contrary, everyone knew that the earl and his wife were present and ate the exquisite snacks given by the countess, and everyone was very moved.

In fact, if someone else did these things with the title of the countess, it would have the same effect.

However, not everyone understood this truth.

Derek was very satisfied with his wife's cooperation. This is the real daughter of the nobility.

Those noble ladies who only care about romance and romance, or even stupid enough to do inappropriate things in public, are not qualified wives.

However, the Countess's decoration is just an appetizer, and the real feast is when the Earl personally participates.

At least, the merchants present believe that with such a Earl who is close to the common people, the business environment in Melgen Province must be better than anywhere else.

After the initial excitement, Gu Li gradually returned to normal.

Derek asked him a lot of questions, especially about the changes within the barbarians.

These details are difficult for outsiders to know, even intelligence personnel cannot understand them.

But what Gu Li said is generally credible.

"Our tribes are just abandoned by the great chieftain, and not many people are on the side of the king's tent.

Count, don't worry, if anyone has the idea of ​​being ungrateful, you don't have to do it, I will take the young men in the tribe and dig up all his ancestral graves together."

Gu Li swore to be loyal, and in fact he really thought so.

He even hoped that there would be a few people with bad brains to give him a chance to make merit.

He was afraid of the earl's force at first, and then because of interests.

Now, there is also emotion.

Drinking once was an accident.

This second encounter, the earl is still like this, then there is really nothing to say.

After Derek poured the wine several times by himself, Gu Li was a little drunk, and suddenly stood up with a red face and a glass, and said loudly: "Count, if you ask me, you should be the king."

The merchants present were shocked, and some sensitive ones turned pale, thinking that they were involved in some big event.

Fortunately, Guli continued to roar: "The damn king's tent, when they came to blackmail us, they never let go. When my people were freezing to death, they didn't even fart.

Hello, Earl. If you are going to overthrow that dog king, I will be the first to pick up a knife and fight you."

Good guy, he is talking about the Barbarian King.

Everyone is not afraid again. In their eyes, what kind of king is the Barbarian King? Isn't he a tribal leader?

"What Chief Guli said is right. If the Earl captures the Barbarian King, our business will be able to go further."

The merchants shouted loudly. Augusta's taxation was relatively low and the business atmosphere was very good, which naturally satisfied them.

Derrick didn't think it was noisy. He took the initiative to raise his glass and clinked it with Guli, and said generously: "Then it's a deal. When I go to overthrow the Barbarian King, please come and lead my horse."

Guli didn't think there was anything wrong with leading the horse for the Earl, and even felt proud of it.

"Then I want to be a horse-drawn knight, and lead the way for you, the Earl."

"Knighthood is not enough, I can make you a baron."

Both of them were drunk, and the more they talked, the more outrageous they were.

But this atmosphere was just right.

The merchants were also making a fuss, shouting Baron Guli.

The meal ended in an atmosphere of great joy for both the host and the guests. As the nickname of the horse-drawn baron spread, there was also the courtesy of the Earl of Augusta.

The barbarians also spread the word that the equal treatment of the Earl was too important for the barbarians who were eager to improve their social status.

It was like a black slave in a certain country who suddenly became free one day. After being discriminated against for so many years, he was eager to gain status.

The difference is that the barbarians really just want a little equality.

But the impact brought about is that more barbarians walked out of the tribe, and even under the leadership of some heads, actively joined the Augusta system.

They saw hope, not only for survival, but also for dignity.

If the barbarians could produce a real noble, how great would that be?

In this atmosphere, Derek arrived at the new Yanle City.

After the fire, Yanle City, which had barely recovered some of its vitality, has now completely become a fortress city.

Barbarian captives and craftsmen from the Augusta family widened the city walls and extended the scope of the fortress.

The entry of a large number of elite infantry also let the barbarians on the opposite side know what infantry is.

The barbarians, who were mainly light cavalry and naked infantry, were suppressed in several conflicts.

In the Yanle Mountain Corridor, infantry has a natural advantage.

Coupled with the establishment of the bunker camp, the barbarians felt like a lump in their throats.

When the earl and his wife arrived, the barbarians had just finished a test.

After a simple military report, Derek realized that these days were not just wars, but also a group of barbarians who crossed the border and fled into the Melgen Province.

Mixed-blood barbarians and marginal barbarians are also barbarians.

At least the barbarians on the other side recognized their identities.

The army of the Augusta family could control the main roads, but could not cut off all connections.

Then the situation here was spread to the Barbarian Kingdom.

Under the instigation of local relatives and friends, many barbarians fled across the border to the Melgen Province.

The remaining Barbarian Bull Knight was worried about this: "Count, I'm worried that there may be spies of the Barbarian King inside."

"It's not possible, it's 100% certain." Derek said with certainty: "But what if there are? If you have the ability, come here.

Continue to let the barbarians enter, and even take the initiative to attack, organize the barbarians to invite relatives and friends to come together, and even give them rewards."

Will some spies not come because of the attack?

No, on the contrary... the population brought is real.

And this is also a kind of propaganda. The righteous will have many supporters, and the unrighteous will have few supporters. The barbarians did not surrender to the Barbarian King, but fled to him instead. What does it mean?

Derek, of course, supports this.

After simply handling the official business, he apologized to Tiona: "We will have to spend a long time here."

"Compared to Swan Castle, I hope to see our home built from scratch." Tiona was very calm.

In fact, she missed Swan Castle. Whether it was the environment or the comfort, it was not comparable to this wild place.

Derek looked at it, and naturally all this was attributed to the barbarians.

"For the sacrifice of my wife, you, the barbarian king, should also shed some blood."
