Chapter 659, The Beginning of the Eight Peaks Raiders

Hearing this voice, Black Hearted Rep trembled subconsciously, his face immediately changed from a little arrogant to respectful and serious when facing his boss, he stood up pretending to be mysterious and saluted, and then moved quickly sit down.

Appearing in front of him were Ryan, the Duke of Musillon, and Morgiana, the Witch of the Lake God. Today, Ryan was only wearing a simple duke dress, a crimson velvet coat, and four ermine strips on his hat. There is a gold ring on the crown, decorated with 8 red gold leaves. The noble duke's crown makes the black-hearted Lepp envious. He knows that in the whole old world, the highest gold content is the title of the Empire and the title of Brittany. Don't look at him having a lot of trouble in the border princedom, but his title of black prince is actually recognized by no one except the lord of the border princedom. Even the barons enshrined by the empire have to add "mercenary" or "border" in front of it prefix, indicating that this is not a formal title.

Morgiana, the witch of the lake god, is wearing a fluorescent light pink veiled cake gown today. From the slit of the skirt, a pair of beautiful legs wrapped in flesh-colored ultra-thin stockings can be vaguely seen. Her golden shimmering shawl Her long hair was fixed by a garland, her body was covered with all kinds of gold and gemstone jewelry, her beautiful face had a pair of blue eyes with some kind of bright light, and she was wandering and talking with Ryan in the territory. After investigating, the light in Morgiana's eyes disappeared immediately after seeing the black-hearted Rep. She was silent as if she was looking at a lump of disgusting things. When she saw Ryan sitting down, she also sat down.

Black-hearted Lepp dared not look directly at Morgiana's gaze full of sanctions. As we all know, as the spokesperson of the mortal fairy in the lake, Morgiana has independent judicial power. Even if something happens accidentally in the city, the patrol or the city defenders will at least give him a chance to defend himself, and let him go to the court of the principality or the court of the Goddess of Justice to defend himself.

Morgiana is different. Once she speaks, Black Hearted Lepp may not have a chance to defend himself. It is unreasonable for the Holy Grail knights who are in charge of protecting Morgiana to do it directly. The Cavaliers might not be able to take him down quickly, but as long as the black-hearted Rip dared to fight back or resist, it would be an even worse crime.

"Mr. Littlebird, I'm so excited, you have time to eat goulash here?" Ryan was quite chic, he and Morgana sat opposite the black-hearted Rep, and greeted the boss: "Give me too Have a bowl of... Morgiana, would you like it?"

"I don't need it." The Lake God Witch is not interested in this kind of street food. In fact, she eats less meat dishes in her life, mostly fish and eggs, and rarely eats meat.

"The duke has something to do for His Excellency the Duke, so I have my own." Black-hearted Rep turned his attention to Ryan, shrugging his shoulders: "The duke is a busy man, and I, Littlebird, have to As a busy man, I just happened to look around, see the great achievements of the Duke over the past decade, and see what can be learned."

There was no change in the expression on Ryan's face, but in his heart he thought that the black-hearted Lepp was really talented. He blended flattery and flattery into his words without a trace, and also gently reminded Ryan that you have been hanging out with me for several days .

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Morgiana's complexion became better.

"I just came back to the territory. I have a lot of things to do. I don't have time to pay attention to you. Mr. Littlebird is also very leisurely. I forgot in a hurry. You should come to me." Ryan kicked the ball back without a trace.

What Ryan means is that I am very busy, you should take the initiative to come to me, and you will not come to me if I don't look for you, so you have the nerve to say that I ignore you?

The black-hearted Rep smiled, pretended to lower his head to eat the meat, chewed it several times, and swallowed the meat. At the same time, he was thinking about the ins and outs. This cunning mercenary leader knew,

Ryan would be willing to take him in, and he must be asking for it, and he is undoubtedly asking Ryan now. Whoever speaks at this time will be in a weak position.

"Here you come, Duke!" The owner of the Freeman's Shop was so excited that he seemed to be dancing ballet. He turned around several times and immediately brought up a large bowl full of beef: "Your Excellency, please eat whatever you want. This meal is mine." !"

The big bowl brought by the shop owner was full of beef, while the black-hearted Lepp's bowl contained mostly potatoes and radishes. The mercenary chief secretly scolded the shop owner for being snobby. , I think today is a good day, the weather is good and the mood is good.”

"Oh, is it?" Ryan smiled and stirred the large piece of beef in the bowl with a spoon: "Since it is such a good day, what suggestion does Mr. Littlebird have?"

"My Duke, if you want me to rebuild a castle and open up a territory in the border princedom, it's not enough for you to just give me a title." Black-hearted Rep saw Ryan still calm and calm, so he decided to take the initiative to speak : "I want people, and things."

"Musillon is rebuilding, and I can't give you too much military funds now." Ryan nodded slightly, and he began to formally discuss the matter with the black-hearted Rep: "As for people, the population of the Principality of Musillon itself is also Not enough... How many people do you want?"

"A company of regulars, at least, I mean regulars, well armed and fought," said Black-hearted Rep in a low voice, "and at least thirty guns, twenty horses, and nothing else You have to give me some of the population, and there are enough supplies for half a year."

"You are too greedy, Mr. Littlebird." Ryan shook his head suddenly, and he said to the black-hearted Rip lightly: "You want too much, at least until you can prove yourself, I won't give it to you without reason." You have so many things."

"Then how much can you give me?" Black-hearted Rep asked impulsively after seeing Ryan rejecting his proposal, but he immediately felt Morgiana's warning and cold gaze, so he could only keep his mouth shut.

Black-hearted Lepp always feels that there seems to be something between Ryan, the champion of the lady of the lake, and Morgiana, the first choice of the lady of the lake. This is after he has been a mercenary for decades. Some kind of intuition, even though there was no intimacy between Ryan and Morgiana, the black-hearted Lepp still found some clues from the body language of Morgiana and Ryan, for example, the two stood very close before taking their seats For example, after Morgana sat down, her body would naturally lean towards Ryan, for example, the way Morgana looked at Ryan... all of these made Black Heart Lei Pu faintly aware of something.

"What I can give you is a company of veterans." Ryan gave his own conditions: "That is a group of veterans who have experienced many battles, veterans who are about to retire but are unwilling to retire. I have weapons and armor on my side. You have to figure it out yourself, as for the muskets and horses you want, I can only give you twenty short-barreled pistols, not the horses."

It was a surprise to have a company of veterans. Black-hearted Lepp put forward a new condition: "A company of veterans is not enough. I need more people. They don't have to be soldiers, as long as they are young men who are willing to follow me to the border prince to get rich and Women can do it too!"

"I can't do anything about this, but I can give you a hint." Ryan knew that the black-hearted Lepp was desperate for the population: "Go to the duchies of Lyonnaise and Palaion, there are many people who are willing to go out and try their luck , and the price is very low, all you need is a piece of brown bread with bacon sandwiched between them, and they will follow you."

"Where's the bacon, then? Where's the brown bread?"

"There will be bread, there will be milk, and everything will be all right."

The conversation between Ryan and Black-hearted Rep came to an end for the time being. Duke Musillon and the Black Prince ate in silence. Black-hearted Rep thought carefully for a long time, and finally decided to speak: "In addition , what else can you give me?"

"I can give you a part of the trade franchise. Our goods will be unloaded at Barak-Haimen Customs. From there, you can get the support of the Haimen Customs Branch of the Oliver Chamber of Commerce. You can directly purchase some goods at market prices. As for these goods, how do you I don't care how to deal with it, how to sell it, you handle it yourself, the only thing you have to do is not to leave anything behind, understand?"

"Understood!" After hearing Ryan's words, the black-hearted Lepp was convinced. Isn't this just letting him be an agent to open up new markets? ! Being able to get this is more useful than any veteran company and twenty muskets before!

"Then, I have a few requests, please listen carefully." Ryan saw that the black-hearted Rep agreed, with a slight forehead, he took out the map, and put his finger on the collar of the prince of the eastern border: "I will give you about one and a half years to In two years, you will become the most powerful border warlord in the entire eastern border princedom!"

"I have confidence in this aspect, but I don't have enough manpower!" The black-hearted Lepp could only feel that his heart was beginning to be shocked by the great future pointed out by Ryan, and the blood in his body began to rush to his head. He was a little incoherent with excitement, old things Recap: "I need more people!"

"No, Mr. Littlebird, you have mistaken causality. When you expand in the border princedom and defend the interests of our Britannia, the kingdom will use many methods to measure your value, your status Only then will you rise, and we will consider sending more elite troops to help you, assist your expedition, and help you seize the hegemony of the border princedom." Ryan's voice seemed to carry some kind of magical power, every word he said They are full of expectations and warnings: "When you win more victories, we will allow more soldiers and even knights to go to the border princes to assist you in your operations. There will be more elites for you to recruit. If If necessary, we can even send old guards and holy grail knights to assist you."

"Oh oh oh!" Black-hearted Rep's hands were trembling, and his voice was also trembling: "Thank you for the Duke's favor, I, Littlebird, must..."

"But I have to warn you, Mr. Littlebird, you have to show your worth, you start out with just these guys, a company of veterans, some battered soldiers, and you have to show us that you can do it, You have the ability to become the most powerful border prince, so we will consider letting you hire more troops to help you."

Black-hearted Rip was genuinely excited.

Obviously, Ryan is using him as a pawn, through him, to obtain the market, population and a lot of resources of the border prince's territory!

But what does it matter? Being able to become a chess piece shows that you have the value of being used! This is his chance to stand up, and he must firmly seize this opportunity!

The most powerful border prince, what a fascinating title.

"I, Littlebird, hereby swear allegiance to the Duke of Lane in the name of Charlemagne and Thalia!" The black-hearted Rep did not hesitate at all, and the cunning he knew that the more decisive the better at this time: "I am willing to take this Task!"

"Very well, I have asked Katzenberg to prepare some logistics supplies for you, which is almost enough for you for a few months." Ryan accepted the allegiance of Black-hearted Lepp, and he pulled out the Nemesis and pressed it on Black-hearted Lepp's chest. On the shoulder: "I formally canonize you as the head of the Britannia Independence Regiment, leading the border baron!"

"Yes!" Black Hearted Rep answered loudly.

"Let me ask you something, Littlebird, what are you?" Ryan then asked, his blue eyes flashing fiercely: "Answer me, what are you?"

what is it Black-hearted Rip was sweating on his bald forehead.

What am I?

Why did His Excellency Ryan take a fancy to me? What is the reason?

He carefully recalled a series of his experiences, then changed his mind, and said loudly: "I am a human being!"

"Very good, I hope you will always remember that you are a human being!"

After the canonization was completed, the black-hearted Rip didn't even have the mood to eat anymore. He left in a hurry. The time Ryan gave was very tight. The title of regiment leader recruits new recruits, and take a boat to Haimen Pass before the sea is frozen, otherwise you will have to wait until next spring to start, or take huge risks to cross the gray and black mountains.

Seeing the black-hearted Rep leaving in a hurry, Morgiana frowned, and she said, "I don't understand why you would give such a cunning mercenary leader a chance. If you plan to open up the border princedom, then you There are many men who can be sent, or there are many people on my side, why should this task be entrusted to him?"

Ryan breathed a sigh of relief, and he sat on the chair: "Mogiana, it's different. The border princes have a set of game rules that belong to the border princes. Outsiders are not familiar with this set of rules and can't play. It will take at least a few years to understand and pay a huge price. For example, if I send Hux to the border prince's territory to open up the territory, he will most likely be wiped on the neck the first night he enters the border prince's territory."

"Can't the Holy Grail Knight?" Morgana understood what Ryan meant.

"The Knights of the Holy Grail will not be killed so easily, but they are destined to be unable to become leaders in the border princes who are influenced by the spirit of chivalry." Ryan nodded: "In the border princes, if you want to survive, there are generally the following points, Hands must be steady, heart must be ruthless, swords must be accurate, chivalry is not completely effective there."

"That's why we need Black Hearted Rip. He has been in the Border Prince for decades, from an ordinary mercenary captain to the Black Prince later on. He is very familiar with the rules of the Border Prince. Yes, and when Tamu Khan ravaged the border princes before, only the black-hearted Lepp had effectively resisted, so he also had a certain reputation and prestige. At this time, he was sent there. Although the human residents of the border princes It won’t be welcome, but it will definitely not be contradictory.”

"We just need to support him secretly." Ryan finally concluded: "Of course, in addition to cultivating a spokesperson, there is another very important reason."

Ryan pointed his finger at a place on the map: "We are going to start preparing to fulfill our original agreement."

"Prepare to help Belegar and his Angrund clan regain Eight Peaks Mountain!"

"Sending Black Heart Leipp is the first preparation for this war!"
