Chapter 208 Conspiracy

"Of course the Duke doesn't know."

Virut answered naturally. In fact, he knew well that he could leave with the army, and the Duke must know about it.

I just know but can't say it.

He chose to leave with the army, which was to question the Duke.

Now, the answer is yes.

There are some things that the Duke can't say directly. As subordinates, they have to share the Duke's worries.

It is enough for the monarch and his ministers to have a tacit understanding.

If we really want to do something, a thousand-man team is not enough.

Baron Crono felt his blood pressure rise, and he almost died of fright.

"What do you want to do?" Baron Crono growled in a low voice. Even in his own family, he did not dare to speak loudly for fear of being discovered.

"Of course...throwing stones to ask for directions." Verut said very tightly, even in front of his father: "I will visit Baron Ferreira tomorrow, you'd better make preparations in advance."

Of course he had his own reasons for choosing to go home.

But before some things are done, you can't even talk to your own father, otherwise the credit will become a sin.

Fortunately, Baron Crono was not a fool. When he heard that his son was going to visit Baron Ferreira, he had an idea in his mind.

After all, if he really had any dangerous thoughts, his son would never visit the Ferreira family.

After all, today's Leopold is from Ferreira, and the relationship between the two families is unusual.

Visiting Baron Ferreira at this time can be said to be full of political meaning.

The conversation between father and son was pleasant as soon as they put aside this private subject.

The next day, Virut went to the Ferreira family.

The thousand-man team he led put away all their flags and hid any identifying items.

But this is no different from hiding one's ears and stealing the bell. Such an elite army marches through the northern provinces in a big way, and everyone knows their identity.

This was Virut's intention. He wanted to let the nobles in the northern provinces know that he was coming, but he couldn't do it openly and openly.

Baron Ferreira also received the news, and when he was ready, Virut had already handed over the invitation.

He did not dare to neglect his son's generals and hurriedly received them.

Baron Ferreira was puzzled by Virut's mysterious movements.

I thought there was something wrong with Virut, but he kept talking politely for a long time, gave a gift, and spent the whole day toiling away, and finally settled in the Ferreira family again.

Baron Ferreira wanted to ask several times, but Virut changed the subject.

Fortunately, the Ferreira family is not what it used to be, so settling such a group of people is not a problem.

That night, Virut met two more special guests.

Lloyd and Wood were originally mountain people who were outside the mainstream society, and they did some business without capital on the part-time job.

Depending on the trajectory of fate, the two of them might one day die during the robbery.

Until they met Duke Leopold, which changed their lives.

Mountain Wolf Lloyd is not considered a nobody now.

He could even get a noble title if he wanted to.

This was a fate he could not imagine. All changes came from Duke Leopold.

So after receiving Adrian's invitation, he immediately came to the Ferreira family to meet Baron Virut.

Both had dealings with Adrian, the spokesman for Duke Leopold.

Or the Ferreira family.

Or maybe it's Virut, the famous Northland star.

For Royd, the mountain wolf, he can't afford to offend big shots.

And they have one thing in common, they are all closely related to Duke Leopold.

This is what Virut did specifically.

Commanding the mountain wolf Lloyd requires the Duke's order.

He couldn't get a clear order from the Duke, so he could only use this method to make the mountain wolf Lloyd obey.

As soon as they met, Mountain Wolf Lloyd took the initiative to say hello.

Virut didn't show off and asked the two of them to sit down politely.

"How many people are there in the Duke's camp in the mountains?"

He asked a very secret question. With the rise of the Duke, few people knew about the secret base in the mountains.

At least Virut shouldn't know.

Mountain Wolf Lloyd was stunned, thought of Adrian, and immediately answered honestly: "There are also five hundred soldiers and one hundred craftsmen."

The camp has a special meaning, but its size is just that.

Now it is directly managed by Lloyd, which can be regarded as providing him with some support.

"How many troops do you have at your disposal?" Virut continued to ask.

"About a thousand people. If urgently needed, two thousand people can be gathered." Lloyd already felt something was wrong.

"That's enough. Bring these 1,500 people and join me. We are going to do something big." Virut suddenly said.

Mountain wolf Lloyd suddenly became alert. He looked at Virut warily: "Baron, do you have a warrant from His Excellency the Duke?"

Mobilizing the army, especially the secret army in Lloyd's hands, is a very sensitive matter.

Lloyd did not receive a complete education, but he was not stupid.

He knows very well where his power comes from and pays special attention to it.

Just because he respects Virut doesn't mean he is willing to be manipulated.

At the critical moment, Virut was very tough: "Lloyd, where do you think this is? I am in the territory of the Ferreira family. After being introduced by Baron Adrian, as a knight of Duke Leopold, I ask you to cooperate. I act.

Your Excellency the Duke will not have any connection with this matter. This is just our private action, and we will even be punished afterwards.

But... I am the Duke's knight, do you understand?"

Lloyd didn't understand, but he felt the danger.

He believed that if he didn't agree, he would have trouble in the future.

Even if he agreed, it might not mean there would be no trouble.

He didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing at all.

"Can I ask what you are going to do?"

He was really scared. The mountain area was very close to the Perez family's territory. Wouldn't they ask him to raid Count Perez?

"Now that you know the target, you have no option to withdraw. Are you sure you want to listen?"

"Listen!!! "

Seeing that he couldn't avoid the trouble, Lloyd chose to believe Adrian.

The other party was the Duke's cousin, and Virut was the Duke's close knight. Now he was discussing this matter on the territory of the Ferreira family. Could it be a trap?

It's a blessing, not a curse. If it's a curse, it can't be avoided.

Virut quickly uttered a name, and Lloyd immediately remembered the other party's origin.

He remembered everything about His Excellency the Duke very clearly.

Although he still couldn't figure out why Virut did this with his shallow political wisdom, it was definitely right to do it.

"Baron Virut, I'll go back and gather my men right away."

"No, let him go back, you stay."

Virut pointed at Wood and rejected Lloyd's idea.

Although there would be no accidents, the necessary caution should still be taken.

Lloyd was stunned and agreed immediately. This kind of caution is a good thing.
