Chapter 77 Going South

Crowns gathered together. At the southern gate of the City of Mad War, 20,000 forbidden knights formed a neat formation with wild goose feathers, guarding thousands of imperial nobles waiting there. The most conspicuous one was the giant carriage Shagru was in.

, Shagru, who was sitting on a soft chair in the carriage, muttered in an inaudible voice: "You are a little slower. Just after sending out new spies, they have already returned... Haha, but this also shows that Lei

Jerry and the others are too powerful. Although the Principality Alliance's military strength is not strong, they at least have hundreds of thousands of troops, and they are especially good at mountain warfare. It is not easy to pacify them so quickly."

Shagru's face was full of admiration for Ray and Jerry, and in a dark corner of the carriage, a man's voice whispered: "That should be it, Your Majesty. But it is reported that the Jaguar Regiment

He did not go south according to the wishes of the military department, but came back with Lei and the others. Can you think of why this is?"

Shagru was stunned for a moment: "The Jaguar Army is back? Didn't they want them to go to Xili Province and launch an attack on the Smart Empire together? Tell me, what happened?"

After a while of silence, the man replied: "You can listen to the reports from Generals Ray and Jerry later. I'd better not disturb your good mood now."

Shagru's face was a little gloomy, a little hesitant, and a little worried. He looked ahead blankly. Over there, smoke and dust were flying, and a large group of people led by Lei and the others were about to arrive. One of them was in charge of the tower on the city wall.

The guard general who was looking out flew over, knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Your Majesty, they are back. The soldiers of the Jaguar Regiment came back with them. I saw the flag of the Jaguar Regiment... They fought

What is hanging is a golden flag symbolizing victory."

Shagru's face immediately became much better, and he laughed heartily: "Hahahaha, golden flag? I knew they wouldn't let us down... But Lei and the others shouldn't disobey my orders.

Ah, why do you want the Jaguars to come back together? It's really strange. Could it be that that guy Bikater wants to show off his merits in this way? Damn it, if so, I want to punish him severely, but he dares not to

Follow the orders of the military?"

The man in the darkness did not speak, but let out a slight sigh. Shagru, who was so excited, did not notice the sigh. He stood up excitedly and walked out of the carriage in a few steps.

He jumped out of the carriage and jumped off the ground. Immediately, the nearby Imperial Guards, Imperial Guards, and even the personal guards of his palace surrounded him, lest the emperor, who possessed fifth-level gold strength, injure even one little finger.

The Jaguar Legion's 170,000 troops stopped three miles away from the city. No one dares to bring so many people close to the imperial capital. Be careful at any time if any noble noble looks down on you because you are too arrogant and will label you as plotting to rebel.

The crime was a crime that would ensnare the whole family. Ray, Jerry, and Butters led their subordinate high-ranking knights to dismount neatly, and then formed a neat formation according to their official positions.

, walked towards the city gate.

Shagru laughed and took a few steps forward. The four old ministers who had ulterior motives winked at each other and followed with smiles. The four old guys had already reached an agreement to trick Walters to death no matter what.

Family. Among them, Sidok and Shax are the main conspirators. Chris is fiercely fanning the flames because of the hatred between the Walters family and his grandson. Prime Minister Messot is taking care of the friendship between the four major families and at the same time feels that he is close to the family.

It would be a good thing if the Guards could be in the hands of his own family. This was the condition that Sidok promised to him. Therefore, he was also very active in making suggestions there, waiting for them to divide the spoils after the Walters family was completely destroyed.

.

Ray, Jerry, and Butters led all the high-level knights to kneel down in front of Shagru, with Jerry acting as the representative. Jerry reported loudly: "Your Majesty, we have lived up to our trust and successfully pacified the three southeastern states.

The rebellious principalities, and let them sincerely submit to our empire. From today on, our empire has three more provinces, namely the province of Fort Carson, the province of Luke, the province of Danube, and the three provinces.

The countless wealth in the treasury, the rolls of hundreds of names in the three provinces, are all here... This is under the wise leadership of Your Majesty, and under the awe of the endless national and military power of the empire, among the people and soldiers of the country.

With our concerted efforts, we..." A series of high-sounding words made Shagru's face filled with triumph.

Look, Jerry is really good at talking. You can consider letting him work part-time in the diplomatic service in the future. As for Lei, well, the young man is still so simple and has such a silly smile, but he is a good fighter. Well, I will have to change it more in the future.

With a lot of power given to him, this kid seems reliable. Compared with Jerry, he seems a little slippery. Butters, well, he is very respectful, and, hey, he is actually injured. Look.

It seems that he has been to the front line in person. Well, yes, yes, his father Sidok's recommendation is not wrong. However, the opinions of the Walters family still need to be considered...

With a smile on his face, Shagru took over the thick book from Jerry's hand, which recorded all the wealth of the three principalities, the location of the mines discovered, and the number of people. He nodded and praised him repeatedly. Behind him,

Messot asked calmly: "Congratulations to the generals on their triumphant victory, but why didn't the Jaguar Corps act in accordance with the military orders? Where is General Picart?"

Shagru, who was flipping through the book in his hand, immediately stiffened his finger movements. He slowly looked at Lei and the three of them. Lei still looked like he was almost smirking. He had not gotten so many elite bows and arrows from himself.

After recovering from the surprise of his hand, he naturally didn't notice the change in Shagru's expression, which made Shagru couldn't help but feel angry and funny. As for Jerry and Butters, one of these two guys is mature, and the other is...

His mind was extremely flexible, and he immediately whispered: "Your Majesty, I will report the details to you later."

Butters was silent for a moment, and suddenly added: "The current combat effectiveness and morale of the Jaguar Army are no longer suitable for going south to participate in the war, so I boldly ordered them to return to the Imperial Capital to reorganize military affairs. And General Bikart.

..Some things that happened on the front line made it impossible for him to continue to command operations, so..."

Shagru's face was as dark as water. He knew that something had happened that would make him extremely angry. It is very likely that his anger would make many other people drown in a pool of blood. Shagru's first reaction was to look at him fiercely.

He glanced at the head of the Walters family, Duke Walters, the oldest among the great nobles, with a fierce look in his eyes. He drank in a deep voice: "Very good, your battle this time is very good, I will definitely reward you."

.Subjects, cheer, our warriors have won the greatest victory."

A large number of people near the city gate cheered crazily, countless colored papers and flower petals flew down from the air, and the royal mage of the Vante Empire shot fireballs into the sky, causing them to let out a gorgeous roar.

Light and shadow. The quantity and quality of these mages cannot be compared with the Smart Empire, but it is still very easy to release a few fireballs.

Lei was awakened by the loud noise in the air. He quickly stood up, looked at Shagru with a smile and said: "Your Majesty, there is one more thing I hope to get your approval."

For Lei, a young general who has not yet connected with any big family, is very simple in nature, and can put his high hopes on, Shagruu attaches great importance to him. He smiled quickly, slapped Lei's arm heavily and said:

"Okay, what's the matter? Tell me, do you have a crush on some young lady and want me to propose marriage for you? No problem at all, hahahaha." Shagru also confused Lei Yimo.

Lei Sansan laughed: "It seems that no noble lady would like me, Your Majesty...I am talking about Carson the Tiger Rockart, the commander of the rebellious Principality of Fort Carson, and Luke the Tiger, the commander of the Duke of Luke.

Eagle Inger, the commander of the Danube Principality and the Danube Leopard Beamon, because they were defeated by me, they swore allegiance to me in the name of their family. This also hopes to be recognized by His Majesty and give them a formal empire.

The name of a knight."

Shagru was stunned for a moment. Gradually, a warm smile appeared on his face. He laughed: "Lei, Lei, you are really amazing. When I was a prince, I fought against Luo Carter.

Ah, hehe..." Shagru's facial muscles twitched strangely. At that time, Rokart was still young and had just become a general of Fort Carson. He accompanied the diplomats of their principality to pay tribute to the Vante Empire.

, Shagru had a jealous fight with him in a certain restaurant and made fierce gestures. Shagru was very aware of Rockart's strength.

He nodded and said: "Rockart, Inger, and Beamon, please come out. Since you have sworn allegiance to General Lei, then I will give you the reputation and status you deserve."

The three Rockarts, who had no armor or weapons on their bodies, slowly stepped forward and knelt down in front of Shagru. Shagru looked at Rockart with a strange smile, then suddenly pulled out his sword and struck it hard.

He knocked on the shoulders of the three of them three times and drank: "In the name of the Emperor of the Vante Empire, I confer upon you the honorary knights of the empire and the honorary knights of the empire, belonging to Earl Lei's family. You should abide by your oath.

, I will serve Earl Lei as my master for the rest of my life, and I shall not disobey him in any way... Chris, spread my seal on the three of them to the entire continent."

Although Shagru believed that according to the identity and status of Luo Carter and the others, it would be impossible for them to betray others in the future, but for the sake of Lei's interests, he wanted everyone in the world to know that the three of them belonged to Lei, so that they would never have any chance of betrayal in the future.

There is no way to avoid betraying Lei, otherwise they will be completely ruined in the aristocratic circles of the entire continent and will never be able to recover.

Shagru praised Lei's methods very much. He murmured in his heart: "This boy Lei is very powerful. He can actually conquer three of them? They have passed the formal knight promotion test in the Empire's Knights Association, and their strength should surpass that of gold."

A fifth-level knight... No wonder the three principalities were pacified so quickly. The leaders of the Duke of Daqing have already been subdued by Lei."

After receiving the official title from Shagru, Rockart and the three of them were relieved. They would be nobles of the empire in the future. With the care of Ray, Jerry, and Butters, no one would come to find fault with them again.

, after all, 130,000 Jaguar Legion soldiers were killed because of their scheme.

The group of people followed Shagru's carriage happily, at least on the surface, and walked slowly towards the palace. On both sides of the road, there were countless people in the imperial capital. They were all cheering and throwing some inexplicable debris.

It was thrown into the sky. It seemed that some bad people were cleaning their homes. One hundred and seventy thousand Jaguar soldiers, led by the Imperial Guards, slowly drove towards their camp near the imperial capital.

No one noticed that a tightly covered carriage, escorted by a group of mad dragons and silver wolf knights, slowly walked at the end of the large group of people.

The nobles of the Walters family were looking back and forth in the queue with furrowed brows. Even if Bikater was injured, none of his subordinate knights would be missing, right? As for Lei and the three of them,

His behavior was so weird that Duke Walters' heart twitched violently. He made a few gestures, and several important members of his family immediately ordered his guards to go to the Jaguar Corps camp to inquire for information.

went.

It's a pity that the cunning Sidok has already thought of this. As soon as those personal knights left everyone's sight, the security agents under Shax used various bright and dark methods to knock them out.

Throw them into the gutter on the roadside.

Lei sat on his horse and whispered: "Well, you are the nobles of the empire now, so you have nothing to worry about. The more people you kill from the Jaguar Legion, it only proves that you are getting better and better."

You are capable. When the time comes, I will plead with His Majesty and he will not do anything to you. Anyway, just put all the blame on Bikart. With those old guys helping, we just need to wait and watch the excitement.

.What do you have to worry about?”

Jerry whispered from the side: "Yes, as long as you perform well in the subsequent wars and make more contributions, military merit is the most important thing in our Vant Empire, and you can be promoted from hereditary honorary knights to baron and viscount.

, then you will officially become the nobility of the empire, and with the care of Lord Lei, what are you still afraid of? You must know that your backers are some of the most powerful families in the empire... Hehe, my family is also

It can be included...but you have to treat me to a Looney Tunes game."

From the crowd of cheering people nearby, a child's sharp cry suddenly came: "Thunder."

Lei quickly turned around, only to see Lin, the boy, jumping desperately in the crowd like a monkey, waving a piece of cloth he got from nowhere in his hand. Lei's eyes quickly searched the crowd, and in At the very back of the crowd, next to the door of a shop, Lei finally found the person he was looking for. Kelly, wearing a white sarong, was standing there, looking at Lei with a smile on her face. There was that kind of look in Lei's eyes. The silly look disappeared. He pointed at himself and then at Shagru's car, with a sorry look on his face.

Kelly smiled and nodded, waving her arm at Ray. Next to her, Rockart, Inger, and Jerry saw all this, and Jerry immediately whistled: "Woohoo, we have something. A kid fell in love...hahahahaha..."

A burst of crazy laughter sounded, and it didn't seem out of place amidst the noisy cheers all around. Butters could clearly see the exchange of eyes between Ray and Kelly, and couldn't help but feel a flash of disappointment in his eyes. Originally, He wanted to rely on his daughter to tie Lei to his family. It seemed that this plan would not work unless he killed the girl. But there is no airtight wall in the world. They didn't It is necessary to take risks and conflict with Lei Qi. Then, we can only rely on emotional investment. Well, I hope that boy Chris O can have a good relationship with them...

Butters rode forward with interest in mind. He was still thinking about how to face Shagru's anger later, how to draw Shagru's anger to the entire Waters family, and protect the three of Rockart. , this is a good opportunity to sell favors to Lei. No matter what Lei’s purpose is, it is obvious that he attaches great importance to Rockart. So, if he can save Rockart’s life from Shagru’s anger, Lei You will definitely be grateful to yourself, right?

A grand banquet was held in the palace, but none of the protagonists of the banquet attended. In the secret study room in a corner of the palace, Shagru, four veterans, Ray, Jerry, and Butters sat on chairs, looking at each other with gloomy expressions. Focusing on a certain spot on the carpet.

After a long time, Shagru said: "Okay, that's great. The Jaguar Legion actually lost half of its combat strength. Okay, great...Bikater, he actually betrayed the empire, this damn thing."

Lei said a little uneasily: "Your Majesty, I am very sorry for the losses suffered by the Jaguar Legion. Rockart and his gang were too aggressive..."

Shagru laughed, but there was no joy in his laughter: "It doesn't matter, Rockart and the others were able to kill almost half of the Jaguar Army. This is their ability. This proves that they are rare generals. Ha, I won't be angry. The Jaguar Legion has lost so much, so the three of Rockart and their elite archers can be regarded as compensation for our losses. They killed 130,000 Imperials. If they are elites, then they must shoulder the mission of those 130,000 elites on the battlefield."

Lei was so happy that he quickly stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty, thank you for your magnanimity. I swear, I will lead them to conquer the capitals of the six countries."

Shagru looked at Lei, with a look of satisfaction in his eyes. He nodded and said: "Okay, very good, Lei, remember your words, don't let me down. Destroy the capitals of the six countries, hehe,

This is our biggest dream. It would be a wonderful thing to have the entire continent come under the control of our Vante Empire... But, I am very angry. Really, I am not angry that Rokart and the others killed us.

130,000 elite elites of the empire. At that time, they fought back against the imperial army. That was their duty. What I was angry about was that the members of the Walters family, Bicart. The Walters family, they gained my trust. I put them
