Riding on the back of his tall horse, Lei looked at the Duke in front of him with an almost child-like curiosity. The dark green robe was draped snugly on his body, and his long black hair was draped snugly on his body.

Behind his back, on his slender white finger, was a small ruby ​​ring, which was the only eye-catching color on his body. The Duke, who was involved in the rebellion plan behind his back, looked like a follower of the rules just from his appearance.

A virtuous elder who keeps his own rules is not at all like a sinister aristocrat who plots rebellion and ends up dividing the land and dividing the spoils.

Lepi smiled at the Duke and clicked his teeth, hehe said: "Duke Geist, we are in a hurry, so I would like to ask you to prepare enough dry food and drinking water for us. The military situation on the front line is urgent, so I

I have no time to attend your banquet. Please forgive me for this. By the way, if you are willing, I would like to take away the most elite part of your private army. We don't know how many garrison troops are left in the 'Sacred City'.

How much combat power can we put down, and how many armies of the sinners are pressing down on the border now, so any combat power is precious, and I hope you can cooperate with the emperor's actions."

A smile appeared on Duke Geist's face. He nodded slightly and said: "This is what it should be. If the criminals break through the defense line, our entire empire will be in disaster. I understand this. Alexander, you

Lead 20,000 heavy infantry and set off with General Lei. This is your chance to make a contribution, but don’t let me down... You have always wanted to become a true noble, so this is your best chance." Gass

Te's eyes turned to a young man with fiery red hair and a muscular build among the officials standing behind him.

Alexander, who was carrying a long sword behind him, nodded. He didn't say much, and didn't even look at Lei. He turned around and walked away with a few knights. It seemed that he was going to check the troops. Lei looked curiously.

Looking at the young man, he asked: "Lord Geist, is this your son?"

Geist shook his head gently. He pointed at a middle-aged man with an ivory-like complexion who was standing far away, as if he was afraid that the mud on Lei and their horses would contaminate his snow-white silk robe. He shook his head and sighed:

"This is my son, Marquis Kalev. Alexander is one of my slaves, and their whole family is a slave. But Alexander has very good martial arts skills. I promised him that if he can make enough contributions,

, I will take off his slave status and make him a noble of the empire. This time, maybe it is his biggest opportunity... Lord Lei, I wonder what happened to the rebellion in the four eastern provinces? The leader of the rebels

Duke Cary was captured by Duke Ou, what is his situation?"

When he said these words, Geist's eyes flashed with an extremely strange light. His eyes looked at Lei without blinking, as if he wanted to catch the slightest movement on Lei's face. Lei

He was careless, but still had no intention of dismounting, and said loudly: "Ha, you see, I am already here. Doesn't it prove that our quelling the rebellion has been successful? The entire rebel army was completely killed.

According to the imperial law, all rebels will be beheaded. This is the rule... As for that damn old guy Kari Beou, unfortunately, his city was completely bombarded by me with the wizards of the Smart Empire using forbidden spells.

There is no trace, so there are not even a few ashes left, considering the ashes."

Geist opened his eyes wide and said awkwardly: "You, you ordered the mage to wipe out the entire city with a forbidden spell? Oh my God, Mr. Lei, wouldn't there be nothing left? I

They also dispatched a force of 35,000 people to assist the garrison to take over their territory... What a pity, General Lei, the Karibeou family is extremely rich. If you do this, their family

All the treasures I saved are gone." What Gest showed at this moment was that of a greedy miser to the extreme, but there was a sense of relief in his tone.

Lei looked at Geist swaggeringly, with a proud smile on his face: "Well, in order to put down the rebellion as soon as possible, we will inevitably use some drastic measures. This is also for the safety of the entire empire and the entire continent. If we don't

How can you deal with the guilty people if you calm down your rear as quickly as possible? You are much smarter than me, and you will definitely understand this truth. I don’t think your Majesty will blame me for destroying a city.

It’s all for the benefit of the empire. But your Lord Duke, you can rest assured that the army you were ordered to send out will still have many benefits.”

Lei smiled mysteriously and bent down, while Geist also approached Lei's horse and stood on tiptoes to listen to Lei's whispers. Lei smiled softly and said: "Actually, I plundered them all.

There are a lot of gold, silver and jewelry. Don't worry, Lord Duke. The savings of the four duke families for thousands of years, even if I blow up a city, there won't be too much loss. You can completely hope that your

The army will bring you the richest rewards, I am absolutely sure of this."

There was a smile on Geist's face that made Lei couldn't figure out the meaning for a while. Geist's smile was very enigmatic. It seemed that he understood a lot of things at once. He could only hear him smiling softly.

Said: "So that's it, then I am absolutely relieved. General, when you wait for the day of your triumphant return, you must come to my mansion to have a good rest. I will prepare many exciting programs to wait for the arrival of the General. Now since

The military situation is urgent, so I will not delay your schedule. Alexander will lead 20,000 of my most elite heavy infantry and carry enough dry food to catch up with you. You can rest assured about this."

Lei was very uncomfortable with the feeling that something was not clear in his heart. Geist's smile made him feel extremely uncomfortable. He subconsciously said: "Your most elite 20,000 heavy infantry? Then?

Do you have any other heavy infantry? Well, you have sent 35,000 soldiers to the four eastern provinces on His Majesty's orders. Now you still have 20,000 heavy infantry, which is more than you allowed.

With the number of private army in your army, do you actually have other armies?"

A layer of fine beads of cold sweat immediately appeared on Geist's forehead. He laughed. After laughing for a long time, he said: "What I call the most elite 20,000 people means that they are better than the three

The 5,000 soldiers sent out need to be elite. General Lei, I know that my private army exceeds the number stipulated by imperial law, but it is only 5,000 more than the limit, so there should be no problem, right? Alexander and those young men

As soon as I follow you, I won't have a single soldier under my command." Gest gently raised his sleeve, wiped his forehead lightly without leaving a trace, and murmured in a low voice why there was such a situation.

A lot of dust.

Lei showed a knowing smile, and he said with a smile: "The scale of five thousand people, this is nothing. The lords of several provinces in the southern part of the empire, their private armies exceeded the standard. The most serious ones actually exceeded the standard.

There are more than 70,000 people. I really don’t know what they can do with so many private troops under the protection of the emperor. Duke Geist doesn’t have anything to worry about. Five thousand people is a very small problem and nothing to worry about.”

Geist showed a smile: "Well, General, please put in a good word for me at the military headquarters. I have no intention of over-staffing my legion, but I have several children and a dozen of my grandchildren.

, they always like to recruit some people by themselves, and unknowingly they exceed the size of 5,000 people. Hehe, I hope the general can understand this. When the legion I sent comes back, I will immediately start to rectify it...

Oh, Alexander brought people back, do you think?"

Lei waved his hand: "Alexan, lead your subordinates to clear the way in front. Let's set off. I have a bad feeling that those damn sinners will not stay stupidly in the 'City of Gods' waiting for us to gather.

The power of the entire continent will be used to deal with them. You have to move quickly, do you understand? Hurry as fast as you can... Lord Duke, I'm really sorry this time. I was really too hasty, so please forgive me.

I'm discourteous. I'm wearing a full body armor. According to the laws of the empire, I have the right to avoid the noble etiquette. Therefore, if there is any discourtesy, please forgive me." Lei's horse whip twitched hard, and he

After sitting down, the horse neighed and ran away quickly.

As soon as Lei's horse moved, the 50,000 mad dragon cavalry behind him roared and rushed out. The billowing smoke choked Geist and a group of officials under him. They all coughed. Geist's son shouted angrily: "

This rude guy, even if he is in full armor and going to fight now, my father is also a duke. He should have dismounted and talked to you. He actually sat on the horse and talked nonsense for so long. What a damn guy.

..Also, father, that guy Alexander never listens to us, why did you send him out?"

Geist approached his son and scolded him in a low voice: "Idiot, besides drinking and playing with women, what have you learned? The ruder this guy is, the cuter he is, which proves that everything he said is true. He

It would be an absolute good thing for us to really order those smart mages to destroy the city where the Karibeou family lives. Otherwise, if anything were to fall into the hands of people from the security department, we would be in trouble...

.You take the people away today and ask our troops who are still in the territory to return to the base in the mountainous area. No soldiers are allowed to show up. The empire will definitely strengthen the supervision force in the future. I don’t want to cause trouble... As for Ya

Lishan, it’s just because he doesn’t listen to us very much. It’s not good for us to keep him around. Why don’t we let him go to the front line to die? Are you going to treat him like one of those criminals? You can also sell him a favor. Isn’t this the most ideal thing?”

Several relatives around Geist nodded repeatedly, praising Geist's wisdom in a low voice. Amid the rumble of footsteps, fifteen magic puppets swayed past them, not caring at all that they might

He trampled to death an important figure in the empire. Gest proudly watched the figures of those magic puppets disappearing away, and whispered: "I originally thought that Kari Beou and the others would succeed, as long as they could capture

In the imperial capital, I am preparing to send troops. Who knew that the Five Beast Legion would come back so quickly? Humph... This time I sent 20,000 heavy infantry to help Lei fight, just to weaken my own military strength a little, so that our province's military strength will not be too strong.

If we are discovered by spies from the security department or the palace, we will be out of luck."

"His Majesty Shagru will never let go of those who are too powerful and did not send out the main force to resist the rebels during the rebellion. Therefore, you must make a good posture, as if our army is under attack

This is the best if the loss is the same. Only then can we have reason to say that we need to replenish the army to deal with the criminals, so as to pull out the troops from the mountainous areas. Of course, under the current circumstances, they must honestly provide

I stay in the mountainous area and will never allow them to come out."

Amidst the continuous flattery, Duke Geist smiled proudly and murmured in a low voice: "Cali was destroyed by Oju City? No matter what, the evidence is all gone, right? As long as I do my best

It will be a great achievement for me to entertain the adults of the legions behind me. When we win, I will be rewarded for my merits. It seems that we need to urgently mobilize food, weapons, and magic crystals. These things must be prepared as soon as possible.

ah."

In the galloping cavalry, Lei ordered several generals around him: "Send people to inform Crete behind, asking them to be careful about Geist's army. There are at least 50,000 troops on hand, and asking them to directly

Kill the Geist family and don't fight with their troops. No wonder the old men in Messeau are so hostile to the nobles in these places. They don't take the imperial capital seriously at all. With so many troops, it's really...

It’s too easy to rebel.”

The cavalry caught up with the heavy infantry group led by Alexander. Lei rode his horse to Alexander's side and said loudly: "Is this Alexander?...Hey, are you called Alexander?"

After asking several times, when the crazy dragon knights around Lei almost couldn't help but kill people, Alexander's cold eyes rolled up, looked at Lei coldly and said: "Yes, Mr. Marquis,

I am the commander of the 2nd Heavy Infantry Division under Duke Alexander Gast and also the commander of the 3rd Heavy Infantry Division, slave. If you have any orders, just say yes. I, Alexander, will definitely obey my master's orders.

I don’t know what your instructions are, Lord Marquis.” What Lei is wearing is the family emblem redesigned by the Minister of Palace Heraldry. The three golden turtle doves that symbolize the identity of the Marquis with great achievements are so eye-catching.

Lei laughed and jumped off the horse, walking side by side with Alexander. He was two heads taller than Alexander. Alexander looked at his muscular arms and couldn't help but flash in surprise.

After moving his eyes, Lei slapped Alexander hard on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I don't care if you are a slave or not. In short, your skills look good, so you shouldn't be a slave."

.I’m not a damned Marquis, you can just call me Lei. At least two years ago, I was still an ordinary citizen, almost the same as you."

Alexander had obviously never heard of the name of this miraculous figure who had been vigorously promoted by the Imperial Ministry. He looked at Lei in surprise and asked in surprise: "You, you are..."

Lei nodded heavily, slapped Alexander on the shoulder again, and said with a smile: "Why do you care so much about your identity? The empire's military regulations do not say that slaves must establish

You cannot be rewarded for your merits. But I can understand your feelings. Are you very worried about your status as a slave? But aren't you the division commander of two divisions now? Those noble young masters are not as good as you.

Why do you care so much about your identity?... If you make a contribution, you will be an officer of my Mad Dragon Legion."

Lei looked at Alexander seriously and said loudly: "If you make merit, I swear, I will make you a real knight. I can't guarantee that you will become a so-called noble, but I swear, as long as you make enough merit, I will make you a real knight."

, I will make you a real knight. Now, as the leader of the Imperial Army, in accordance with the special decree of the Empire during wartime, I recruit you to join the Mad Dragon Legion, and all your subordinates will also be organized into the Mad Dragon Legion*

*Heavy Infantry Division, you are the division commander."

"According to the Empire's wartime laws, I have the right to deprive the title of nobles below the earl or grant special rights to the Empire's knights. Therefore, I officially declare that you are no longer a slave. Your slave status will be canceled immediately by the military department, and

I officially grant you the title of a first-class knight of the Empire's Black Iron... Your strength is more than enough to become a high-level golden knight, but you have no military merit. If you want to advance, just use your military merit in exchange."

Lei Fan got on his horse and looked at Alexander, who suddenly had a completely transformed whole person. He whispered in a low voice: "Alexan, you have to understand that your destiny is not in the hands of others.

In your hand, you have enough strength to control your own destiny, so work hard and show me... Remember, you are now an officer of the Mad Dragon Legion, and you have no relationship with Duke Geist anymore.

, you just need to be responsible to me."

Alexander let out a long breath, as if millions of kilograms of shackles were suddenly removed from his body. He drew out his long sword, formally performed a knight's etiquette towards Lei, and respectfully answered:

"Yes, general." The golden knight in charge of military discipline in Lei's team rushed over quickly and handed the badge of a black iron first-class knight and the military badge of the Mad Dragon Legion to Alexander. Alexander's hands were trembling a little

He took the two badges and gestured solemnly on his empty armor chest. His eyes when he looked at Lei were filled with an inexplicable gratitude and even gratitude, and he wished he could die for Lei.

Lei smiled and nodded to Alexander, and rode forward. Lei muttered in his heart: "Lomathe said, this kind of knowledge is called the art of commanding subordinates. Well, I don't know if I have learned it well."

No. It’s true that the immortal Geist is such a strong swordsman, but he doesn’t accept him as his family knight, but insists on putting him in the slave pile to make it easier for me. This is fine, 20,000 yuan

The heavy infantry seems to have been trained by Alexander, and Alexander seems to have obeyed me, so his army is mine."

Lei was thinking proudly, with a cheerful smile on his face. He suddenly saw the golden knight with military discipline, and looked at the small package behind his saddle. Lei almost laughed so hard that he almost fell off the horse. He was

I muttered in my heart: "These officers who are in charge of military discipline are really pitiful. They have to wear so many knight badges on their bodies. It's really tiring. But there is nothing you can do. Who has made the contribution to the brothers? It's best to give them promotion badges on the spot.

What? Hehe..."
