"It's hard to talk about hard work, just a little twists and turns. Fortunately, thanks to the blessing of Lord Earl, I arrived at Ark Harbor smoothly." Roger glanced at Allen and said with a smile.

Earl Aubin put down the book in his hand, and leaned forward slightly: "Speaking of that, I also want to ask Mr. Roger to bring me a group of war slaves. I believe it will not be long, they Will come in handy."

Roger was slightly surprised, but still said: "This is not a problem, but it takes time to prepare. After all, I don’t have many war slaves on hand. If the number of Lord Earl is large, I have to pick from other places. Come here."

"I need a thousand more people, at least."

"A thousand war slaves? Okay, I see."

Alan, who has been silent for a long time, said at this moment: "Is the Earl too dependent on war slaves? After all, they are just slaves and not an informal army. If you rely too much on them, the master of the army will never be divided. ."

Earl-Excellent-Excellent-Small-Speak-New-New-Fast-Fast-moved his sight and fell on Allen: "Young Baron, please tell me where you are from."

"Storm City, my lord."

"Storm City?" Earl Aubin looked at Roger unexpectedly and said, "Isn't the object of your previous cooperation with the baron of Storm City? Then this..."

"Baron Maud is a thing of the past. Now, Sir Allen is in charge of the city, and he manages it better than Baron Maud. This time Sir Allen and I come to visit you, the Marquis, hoping to be able to I have the opportunity to help you."

Oban took Alan seriously, and he asked calmly, "Baron Alan, in your opinion, how can you build an invincible iron brigade lion?"

"Finance, armaments, training, and the strong are all indispensable. As for war slaves, I admit that they are good cannon fodder troops, but they are just cannon fodder. They should be auxiliary parts of the army, not The main link."

"It seems that Sir Allen has his own set of opinions on the management of the army."

"Dare not, this point of view is nothing in front of the Lord Earl."

Oban laughed, thought for a moment and said, "I will have a meeting in the future. If Mr. Roger and Sir Allen have time, why not listen in together?"

"Lord Earl, if it's confidential, I don't think this is appropriate?" Roger said.

"It doesn't matter, you are my friend and business partner. As for Sir Allen, I would like to hear his comments." Auban glanced at the wall clock on the wall: "The meeting will be held in an hour. The two can rest in the fort first."

He tapped the silver clock on the table, and the butler of Mace came in, and the earl ordered: "Please take these two down to rest. They are my important guests. Butler of Mace, please entertain me well."

"Yes, my lord."

Allen and the two were taken to an elegantly decorated room, and after Maes asked the servant to bring coffee and snacks, he backed out. He returned to the study, Earl Auban said to him: "Go and call the black cat, I want to know what happened in the borderlands recently, and the identity of the Sir Allen. Mr. Mays, you have half Hours."

"I will do it now."

In the room, Alan was standing at the window, just in time to see the butler, Mays Don’t leave. Roger was enjoying the fragrant coffee behind him. He blew out his breath and said, "Master Earl's reaction is a bit strange."

"Mr. Roger, when did Earl Aubin start buying you a large number of war slaves?"

Roger thought for a moment, and said: "Earl Aubin has always had business dealings with me. The largest merchant group in Ark Harbor, the "Emerald Pearl", is run by the Ridley family. They have several caravans under their control. , The guards used in it were almost all served by the war slaves I provided. But when it comes to buying a large number of war slaves, it only started six months ago."

"It seems that the earl is ambitious."

"Do you mean, Lord Earl is going to expand?" Roger's eyes lit up. No matter when, war will always bring great benefits. Especially the war started by one's own business partners.

"Obviously, from the city of Ark Harbor, it is not difficult to see that the wealth held by the Ridley family has reached the top level that the earl can reach. The earl is probably not satisfied with the worldly wealth, and now he hopes , Probably means greater power." Allen turned around and smiled and said: "But the Ridley family has a good skill in running the city, but when it comes to running the army, it seems that they are not what they are good at."

"At this point, you are talking about the earl's pain." Roger put down the cup and said: "The Ridley family has never been good at using force, otherwise they would not bend their knees to the relatively peaceful southern border of the empire. You must know the empire. Northern Xinjiang is the most chaotic place, there are many different species, all the families with a long enough history are known by force in the north, and at the same time, it is also the best place to seek military merit."

"If the Ridley family's martial arts were prosperous, they would have entered the Northland. Why should they stay in Ark Harbor for hundreds of years. As for Earl Auban, as far as I know, this adult is in economics, urban management and even Art is quite accomplished. But in terms of personal force, it is only level 24. This is one level short of the title standard set by the Empire. If the Ridley family contributes huge taxes to the Empire every year, I doubt Auban. Can you keep this title."

"Where is their army?"

Roger shook his head and said: "The apparent strength of Lord Earl is quite a lot, a regular army of 5,000 people, and a squad of more than 2,000 soldiers. But in fact, the army belonging to the Earl’s lineage is scarce. Poor, there are only a thousand people. As for the number of the so-called five thousand army, it is actually supported by several large mercenary regiments. These mercenary regiments have been employed by the earl for many years to guard several important points in the territory. The city. For example, Ark Harbor, the mercenary group "Black Wings" is responsible for the defense work."

"As for the other knights attached to the earl, they are more like merchants and artists than lords or warriors."

Alan said in his heart, is this just like gathering things together? At this time, carriages entered one after another at the arch of the castle, each carriage had a different mark. Allen whispered: "Master Earl has a guest here."

Before the meeting started, the butler Mace came back in sweat and brought a man with a pale complexion. In the study, the earl looked at the man and said, "I think the butler of Mace has already told you, what do I want to know?"

"Yes, Dear Earl Aubin. It's just that the time you requested is too tight, so we only have time to inquire a part of the information."

"Talk about it."

The man bowed and said: "About the border land, the last six months can only be described as turbulent. Sul City and Storm City have changed hands. The lord Edward and Allen have suddenly emerged and replaced them at an unimaginable speed. The original lord, especially the Lord Ellen, according to the information we have found, seems to be the young master of a certain family. He first came to Sur City as a businessman. Then he used some methods to make his own The subordinates took the position of the city lord, and then established their own position in turn. I can only describe the whole process in two words "excellent."

"So how much do you black cats know about this Sir Ellen?"

"Not much." The man grinned: "It's just one thing for certain that Sir Allen is not from the Empire."

"Why do you say that?"

"Because his identity document seems to have been fabricated by the local magistrate. You should know that in places like the border land, the empire will not interfere at all. And this Lord Allen, although the document was made by the magistrate Make up your own, but the procedure is legal. Even if this matter is put in the Imperial Chamber, it will only be ignored. That’s why I said that this man’s methods are really wonderful."

Oban frowned and said: "Interestingly, he is not a member of the Empire, so joining the imperial car and seizing the title will not be just a border land. What an ambitious little guy."

"Yes, this lord is not only ambitious, but also powerful." The black cat continued: "Not only was Storm City's army defeated by him, even the Black Iron Fort, for some reason, Storm City signed a peace agreement. Lord Earl, I think you know better than me what kind of stuff the Black Iron Fort is."

"And another big event happened recently."

"Oh?"

"On the side of Lord Danny, an army under his team, together with the two armies of Dawn Castle and Bauhinia, found an excuse to attack Storm City, but Lord Allen was beaten back. That's fine. The commanders of the two armies of Bauhinia and Dawn Castle also told him to detain him. For this, the two knights were embarrassed, and they had just exchanged the ransom for their commanders not long ago."

Earl Auban's eyes lit up, and he said cheerfully: "In other words, this Sir Allen is good at war?"

"Yes, and he is also a brave fighter himself."

"Very good, the information you provided is of great reference value. Go down with Butler Mays, and he will give you the reward you deserve."

The black cat’s exaggerated salute: "Thank you for your generosity, my lord."

Just as he was about to leave the study, Earl Aubin suddenly said behind him: "I don't want Daniel to get similar information, if it is leaked. You should know what will happen."

The man got a cold back and quickly turned around and said, "Although we black cats sell everything, we can only sell them in principle. One of the principles is that similar information is not sold to the second master, please rest assured, Lord Earl."

"I admire your professional attitude and work hard. I believe there will be a lot of use for you in the future." The earl waved his hand.

The man just went down. After a while, Metz came back and said: "My lord, the other jazzes have arrived."

"Okay, go and invite Sir Ellen and the others, let them enter the cubicle first, and don't let others notice."

"Yes, my lord." r1058
