Chapter 187 Their Respective Calculations
Chapter 188: Each one's own calculations
In a suite in Wushan Castle, the father and son of the Iron Hoof family were talking to each other.
"Have you arranged for someone to notify Luo Ning?"
"Yes, I have asked someone to send the message back to the Horse Herder City overnight using a carrier bird. If everything goes well, Mas will receive the message tomorrow afternoon. I have conveyed your intention and asked him to immediately let Uncle Taren lead two knight teams to block the Sen Territory after receiving the message."
Mas Iron Hoof is Rogner's brother and the first heir of the Iron Hoof family;
Taren Snow is a vassal of the Iron Hoof family, and his daughter, Kerami, has been to Shanlin Town.
Rogner added: "In order to prevent accidents with the carrier birds, I will ask them to release two more at dawn tomorrow."
Marvin nodded. He could still rest assured that his son would do things.
"Ronin is now the Viscount of Wubei Territory. Although the territory is large, it is sparsely populated and has rolling hills. It is not easy to develop."
Although there is the addition of Sein Territory, the predecessor of Sein Territory is just a pioneering baron territory, which cannot be compared with a territory with a solid foundation like Muma City.
Everyone knows the plight of Wubei Territory.
Marvin changed his tone again: "But we should also note that in the heart of Lord Lulans, Ronin's status is no longer the same as before.
Wubei Territory is difficult to develop, but Lord Marquis will definitely give a lot of help. It is very likely that a new city with a population of tens of thousands will be built in a few years or more than ten years."
Tens of thousands of people have reached the population level of ordinary viscount territories. Viscount territories like Tieti Territory with a population of more than 100,000 are rare after all.
This is why Orson regards Muma City as an "unstable factor" and targets it everywhere.
Although Marvin is slightly short and ugly, he is very clear about his situation.
It was definitely impossible to surrender to Orson, after all, he still remembered the experience of being beaten for showing weakness; as for abandoning the Wushan family, that was something he would never think of.
Marvin asked, "Do you remember what I said to you that night?"
Rogna quickly reacted, "Father, are you talking about the last time you asked me to follow Ronin?"
The night before leaving for Wushan Castle, Marvin said the motto of the Iron Hoof Family in Iron Hoof Castle - sometimes choice is more important than strength.
At that time, he asked Rogna if he was willing to follow Ronin as the master.
In this era, it is normal for the second son of a family who has no inheritance rights to follow other great lords.
But Rogna refused that night.
Of course, he also had his reasons.
First, Rogna felt that Ronin's ability to defeat Leisen was entirely due to the knight named Redar. Perhaps Ronin had a good eye for people, but he did not see how much potential he had;
Second, Rogna himself had plans for his future and did not give up easily.
But this time is different from that time.
The experience of just a few days in Wushan Castle has fundamentally changed Rogna's perception of Ronin.
First of all, in terms of strength, Rogna almost easily lost to James Monson of Black Python City in the knight competition, but the opponent was easily defeated by Ronin;
Secondly, in the Wushan City Colosseum, Ronin was able to protect Princess Blanche while killing two assassins, and successfully used the spell scroll to repel the gold-level assassin.
These two things are enough to show that Ronin's actual combat ability is far superior to Rogna.
In addition, Ronin also took advantage of the opportunity to abolish Leisen, seized the Sean Territory and became the Viscount of Wubei Territory in one fell swoop, and won the favor of Her Royal Highness the Princess...
If this series of things happened five or six days ago, Rogna would never believe it, but now it really happened.
"Father, you have a good eye."
Rogner said sincerely, "I'm not as good as you."
"It's good that you know."
Marvin smiled proudly, "But you are still young, watch carefully and learn well."
He slowly put away his smile, "So what is your choice now?"
"I am willing to follow Roning!" Rogner said this without hesitation.
In fact, he knew that his father would definitely ask such questions in the near future, so he had already expected it in his heart.
In addition, Roning is indeed a lord who can be followed now.
Marvin nodded with relief.
"Although the Marquis did not hold a ceremony to confer the title of Lord Roning in front of everyone today, I have followed him for these years and I have a little understanding of him."
"Roning performed so well this time. Although it is impossible to restore the inheritance rights that his eldest grandson should have in a short time, Lord Lu Lans will definitely help him again, and Her Royal Highness Princess is probably not just here to celebrate her birthday this time."
"What will happen in the future, none of us know, but I am still very optimistic about Roning."
In fact, it is not only the Iron Hoof Family that has such a reaction, other nobles have also noticed these changes.
However, most of them just changed their views on Ronin and thought about visiting more often in the future to improve their relationship. Few people, like Marvin, directly asked their second son to be loyal to Ronin.
After all, even if the Marquis went, the second generation Marquis of Wushan Territory was Wiggins.
There was a long period of time in between, and no one knew what would happen. Moreover, their situation was not as embarrassing as that of the Horse Herder City, where people were always thinking about them.
If you use two words to summarize their mentality, it should be "no rush".
At midnight, Diane dragged her tired body back to her house, only to find Bretton in the living room reading a book.
"It's so late, why are you still reading here?" Diane was a little surprised, her son rarely reads books.
Bretton's eyelids drooped, he shouldn't be so sleepy, but when he turned to the first page and saw the first line of text, he found that his eyelids were particularly heavy.
He suddenly heard his mother's voice, woke up all of a sudden, and immediately closed the book.
"Grandpa said that I lack knowledge in other aspects, so I thought about reading these political books and learning."
Bretton stood up, "How is grandpa?"
Diane sat on the sofa tiredly, "He woke up, but I don't know the specific situation, it shouldn't be very good. He is going to go back tomorrow, remember to see him off then."
She has been married to Wushanbao for more than ten years, and today is the first time she has personally experienced Lu Lans's strength.
Her father, an arrogant, unyielding, and ambitious man, did not expect that his psychological defenses were broken in just half a day. After waking up, his mental state was not normal.
According to Laurent, Orson should be like Lu Lans, and it is not appropriate to take action in the future.
When Dai Anni heard this, it seemed as if something collapsed in her heart, and she was still confused until now.
She also understood the powerlessness of ordinary people in front of extraordinary people.
"Your grandfather is right. You need to supplement your knowledge in other aspects, but you can't give up practicing."
Dai Anni rubbed her eyebrows and said with a strong spirit: "At any time, your own strength is the most important, just like Ronin. Only when you are strong will you have more opportunities and possibilities."
"Brother Ronin is indeed a role model I need to learn from."
Bretton nodded without hesitation, "I will try my best to catch up with him."
Dai Anni sighed and got up and walked towards the bedroom.
For now, neither Lu Lans nor Orson can be persuaded by her, and she can't change the overall situation.
Perhaps the only person she could convince was Wiggins, but what was the point?
Others were sleeping soundly now.
