Chapter 148: Imperial Situation
The scorching high temperature bakes the bottom of the valley, making it black for a while.
The astonishing scorching heat almost caused the soil to melt, and this torrent of fire was flowing down, a hundred meters away!
Nice!
Leo was delighted, looking at the flying dragon in front of him, it was like a peerless treasure. No, it could be said to be even more important. With such a giant dragon, it could be said that a thousand armies were unstoppable.
However... the mage group breathes fire, the fire dragon breathes fire, Captain Kari's magic swordsman army is also playing with fire, not to mention himself, the hellfire epee fires all things.
This... Could it be that you are the real flame lord?
Leo couldn't help laughing secretly in his heart, but he didn't hide it on his face. The fact that the real Fire Dragon joined the marquis' camp would not only make the entire marquis' combat power even higher, but also its reputation and prestige soared!
After all, legendary creatures like dragons are too rare in the history of Pendor.
"Lord Marquis, the flame of this giant dragon doesn't seem to be as big as I imagined." Captain Kari came over and poured cold water, "I feel that it is not of the same level as the giant dragon we encountered in the Dragon Valley that day."
"That's an adult dragon," Leo rolled his eyes helplessly, "Xiao Fei has just entered her infancy, of course the two cannot be compared. When Xiao Fei gradually grows up, her flames will naturally become more and more terrifying. "
"She?" Captain Kari noticed her in Leo's words.
Leo didn't think much about it, and nodded lightly. In all fairness, Xiao Fei was definitely strong among the giant dragon cubs.
With the level of giant dragons, how can they come up with so many magical greenhouses carefully brewed by humans to hatch dragon eggs?
In the innate sky alone, Xiao Fei is already proud of his peers, like a baby dragon who normally makes a sound, and now this flame can be half the thickness of Xiao Fei is unbelievable.
This is a dragon that wins at the starting line.
Leo thought about it like this, but he saw the waiter on the side hurried over, saying that the king's messenger had arrived at Lanxia City.
So fast!
Leo thought to himself that he had dealt with countless people who had a good relationship during this period of time. The dragon's reappearance in Pande was tantamount to a shock to the entire continent.
But it was also the opportunity for him to become famous. The current situation of Pandor has changed. Before, he stirred up the wind and rain in it, but it was just a sword in the hands of King Ulric. It seemed that he had done great things. unparalleled reputation.
But in the eyes of the five royal families, he, Leo, will always be a vassal, no matter how legendary it is, it is difficult to convince the people of the entire continent.
For example, in the past, even if the Pender royal family was completely wiped out, Alfred's claim to be king was met with countless opposition, and the Griffin Knights directly confronted them openly, which is enough to illustrate the majesty of the royal family on the Pender Continent.
Today, he is a great noble of the Lion Kingdom Kingdom. It is certain that as long as he does not do it, the entire Archimonde family will develop strongly for a long time in the future. For the nobles in the mainland, especially in the Lion Kingdom Kingdom, it is still Very generous.
It didn't change because he was a new noble. If he stopped there, he would still be treated with top-notch treatment until he died of old age, but how could he be reconciled to Leo?
The most fatal shortcoming in the past was prestige. With the birth of the giant dragon, he and it can be said to have made up a lot. The territory blessed by the giant dragon, this gimmick is enough to make Leo and many others. Noble distinctions.
After returning to Lanxia City and sending away the envoy of the noble King Ulric, Leo also pondered slightly. The envoy came to ask about the dragon is one of the things, and the most important point is to tell him, The restless Emperor Mari, after temporarily stabilizing the situation in the rear, seemed to be eyeing the kingdom again.
Of course, to be honest, Leo also contributed a lot from it. After all, he really involved a lot of energy in the Snake Worship Cult. The deputy head of the sacrificial group, Kerris, was in an accident because of him.
And because of the snake worship, he also lost a lot of power, and even the phantom of the snake **** Azdahaka was shattered back then.
Under such circumstances, his damage to the Snake Cult is really not low. Emperor Marius is so ambitious, how could he miss the opportunity to let the giant waves in the south worship the Snake Cult? No ability to stir up the storm.
However, the harassment of the Snake Worship Cult was quelled for a short time, and the Marius emperor seemed to be restless again. The relationship between the Lion Kingdom and the Bacchus Empire has never been good, and it can even be said to be a feud!
The first-generation Lion King Alfred of the Lion Realm became famous in the first battle because he resisted the invasion of the Bacchus Empire. He gathered countless lords and gained allegiance, thus establishing the Real Lion Realm Kingdom.
The success of the Lion King naturally also made the Bacchus Empire's attack fall short. If there was no Alfred, the Bacchus Empire had already ruled Pendor, how could it be today's situation?
To be honest, the biggest enemy of the Lion Realm Kingdom is the Raven Realm Kingdom in the north, but the Bacchus Empire in the south. This time King Ulric didn't dare to relax when he heard the movement in the south. , sent an envoy directly to inform.
"Shorton, there is news from the capital that the Emperor Marius of the Bacchus Empire seems to have the intention of invading the kingdom.
Your recent energy has focused on this aspect, and you should send more people. Once there is news of the Empire's deployment of troops, you will report back immediately. "Leo said to the man in black who was bowing in front of him.
The Whisperer, the intelligence agency under Leo, was headed by Schulton in front of him.
In all fairness, Schulton has indeed made a lot of contributions, the biggest of which was when Owen and others under his command framed Viscount Leofric and attracted giants to attack the city.
This is not a great achievement, but it has an additional harvest, that is, dragon eggs.
Winning the dragon egg from the Tarek Mountains is a real contribution, otherwise where would Xiaofei be today?
Maybe it was a coincidence. If it wasn't for Leo, with the gentle raising method of a giant, I'm afraid that it might not be able to break out of the shell for hundreds of years, and it is very likely that he will die in it.
After all, Pan De is not suitable for the existence of such higher life level creatures. Although they are extremely powerful, in the same way, it is still difficult to break out of the shell and grow up at a young age.
But when the dragon egg was in his hands, the effect...it was terrifying to think about.
However, at this time, Schulton was a bit uneasy and helpless. The marquis was expanding too quickly, and his Whisperer power was developing too slowly. This kind of news was sent to Ur by the kingdom's spies. King Rick, and let King Ulrike hand it over to Leo.
In this way, he himself still did not receive any information, and several other institutions in the marquis were expanding very quickly, so Schulton faced Leo and felt a little guilty.
Of course, Leo didn't think much about it. After all, the intelligence agency is not something that can be established overnight. The Whisperer in charge of Schulton can be said to be extremely weak now.
Weakness does not mean that the combat effectiveness is low. After all, the intelligence agencies can't bear it. Although the strength of the Secret Whisperers is almost at the forefront of the mainland's intelligence agencies in terms of combat ability, otherwise, not a small number of the Secret Whisperers would have been able to enter the jungle and capture them. Get dragon eggs.
And the secret whisperers who inquired about the news are very few and for no reason. If you enter a certain place rashly, who will share secrets with you at will?
Not to mention the various forces, even if they took the cold dinar to buy it, someone would be willing to take it, or through various accidents, hold the handle of various key figures and provide information to their secret speakers.
These all require timing and opportunities, and they are definitely not able to expand in a short period of time.
Although the current marquis has done its best to support the development of Schulton's Whisperers, it is clear that the money and talents that have been thrown out have not been rewarded.
"Sir, you can rest assured that nothing will go wrong. I will send people to look at it and inquire about it one by one. If there is any slightest movement in the empire, we will be aware of it." Schulton vowed to say.
"Very good," Leo nodded. "Remember, this time, we must spare no expense on manpower and send the news back as soon as possible. If the budget is insufficient, you can come and report to me directly."
Watching Shulton take the lead, Leo was also slightly relieved. To tell the truth, the empire put a lot of pressure on him.
The reason why Leo was able to get a rapid promotion of the title back then, especially from a mere baron to an earl, was because King Ulric noticed that the southeastern border of the kingdom lacked enough nobles.
For example, the Viscount Leofric family was originally supposed to play this role, but Leo also knew that the Leofric family had a bad relationship with the Silver Throne for some reason.
Because of the Code of Alfred, plus King Ulrike is indeed not a person with bad rules, and the Leofric family is still restrained, it is only now that the Leofric family can survive until now.
But if he doesn't move, he doesn't move, how can King Ulric increase the strength of the Leofric family? That would be too uncomfortable.
Therefore, with the appearance of Leo and the establishment of great achievements, this position fell to Leo's head. As for the subsequent great achievements, it was logical to be promoted.
In the final analysis, Leo's greatest role for King Ulric was to suppress the southeastern border of the kingdom and avoid the empire's northward invasion.
Leo naturally did not dare to be careless about the empire. This was his foundation. Likewise, the empire was not a soft persimmon. If he was careless for a while, Lanxia City might really suffer a great disaster. He worked hard for several years. will also be in vain.
...
At this time, there was also a lot of discussion within the empire.
Siyuan City, the capital of the empire, can be considered prosperous, although compared to the other two super-large cities in the empire, Siyuan City's reputation seems to be much lower.
At this time, Emperor Mari frowned and said almost roaringly, "It took half a month for you to mobilize such a small force.
That's it, you still want to attack the Kingdom of the Lion Realm? The great Osa can't do it! "
"Your Majesty, I don't think now is the time to attack the Lion Kingdom, the scourge of the Snake Cult is the problem we most need to solve.
The Lion Realm Kingdom is not Pande, and it is separated from us by a very broad mountain range, so there is no need to attack. "An old man said, "In my opinion, protecting our home is the most important thing. "
Hearing this man's words, many imperial officials also rolled their eyelids secretly, this man is the famous Kairos consul of the empire.
His fame is as famous as his strength. His territory is in Diling Port, he has an extremely large base, and his family strength is equally strong, not to mention his private soldiers.
This is almost the pinnacle of human beings, the closest to the strong knights of the Knights, not to mention the headquarters of the Shadow Knights in his territory. The strength of this Kairos Archon is absolutely among the many nobles in the mainland. Countable.
But no matter what, he is so powerful, but it is not easy to take advantage of. Maybe he also thinks it is easy to bully by worshipping the Snake Cult. He surrounded the city several times. Honestly what to do at home.
In Leo's previous life, he was a proper otaku, and he would never go out unless there was an absolute accident.
The other middle-aged man on the side was obviously disapproving, "Consul Kairos, no matter how you look at the relationship with the Kingdom of the Lions, one thing you have to say is that the Kingdom of the Lions must be The empire is the mortal enemy.
The Lion King Alfred back then was able to establish the Lion Kingdom Kingdom because he resisted the invasion of the Osa army. For the foundation of the country, he could not give up his hostility with us.
Even if we are at peace with each other now, I think even you will not be able to do the task. The Lion Kingdom really has goodwill towards the empire, right?
The Lion Kingdom has fertile land, obedient farmers and a vast population We can conquer it to further enrich the strength of the empire, and it will be more calm to deal with snake worship. "
The man has a strong fighting spirit, and he is not polite to the high-ranking Archon Kairos. With such a character and confidence, there is no doubt that he is another big man of the empire, the lord of the City of Knowledge, the Archon Justus.
As the top rank in the empire, in the eyes of caring people, his strength should not be as good as that of Archon Kairos, but he is very strong.
"Hit, there is nothing to discuss," another capable and strong man said in a loud voice, with a slight sense of excitement about killing, "I seem to smell the soul of my sword inspiring me.
The Lion Kingdom Kingdom, what a beautiful place it is, all their people should be loyal to the empire, and the rest can be killed! "
The man's words were full of tyranny, causing many nobles to frown slightly, but they dared not speak out, because this man was the famous Titus, and his team had a large number of phoenix knights.
He is also a war genius, fearless, almost like a lunatic, there are people who please him, and he is respected as the "Nanyang God of War".
