Chapter 260: Beauty Trap?

"Knock, knock~"

The door was knocked.

Roning, who was busy planning and organizing the information collected by Jenny on paper, did not look up, but only said "enter".

He thought it was Redar or Elrond and others who came, but he did not expect that a girl who was dressed gorgeously and looked like a noble lady came in with a fruit plate.

"Who are you?" Roning put down the pen in his hand.

The girl bowed, opened her red lips, and said in a sweet voice: "My Lord Viscount, I am the daughter of the political officer of the Stone Territory, you can call me Betty."

As she spoke, she put the fruit plate on the table, came to Roning's side with a wisp of fragrance, and took the initiative to reach out and massage Roning's shoulders.

"My Lord Viscount has worked hard all the way, I came here specifically to serve you."

Roning frowned slightly, picked up a book and covered it on the parchment.

Although the other party's movements were gentle, and Ronin could still feel the softness of his shoulder, and although he could vaguely feel the hot breath of the other party hitting the back of his ears, he still felt a little puzzled.

"Miss Betty."

Ronin pushed the other party's hand away and looked directly into her eyes: "Did Corin ask you to come here?"

Betty's eyes clearly flashed with a trace of panic. She didn't expect to be rejected. Didn't Lord Corin say that the man in front of him liked men and women very much?

Why did she take the initiative to approach and even tease him, but the other party's expression didn't seem to be happy at all?

She hurriedly walked away and stood on the side of the table.

Betty felt the coldness in Ronin's tone. Although she was the daughter of a political officer, she still lacked confidence in front of a real noble.

"The baron said you were too tired, so let me give you a massage, and then help you wash and take a nap."

"How do I serve you?"

Ronin's mouth curled up slightly, "Does it include offering your body?"

Instantly, Betty's face turned red, and she lowered her head shyly: "Yes, yes, as long as you are willing, I can do it anytime."

Looking at the other party's previous performance, it was obviously a skilled veteran, but at this moment, she looked like an inexperienced girl.

"Corian is really considerate."

Ronin smiled, and then shouted outside: "Tom, David, come in!"

Tom and David, who were waiting not far away outside, ran over quickly and subconsciously glanced at Betty who was standing awkwardly aside.

"My lord, what do you want?"

"You have been following me for a long time. Why did you not inform me in advance when an outsider came to see me? How do you do your duty?"

Ronin's blaming attitude, on the one hand, was indeed criticizing the two, and on the other hand, it was also for Betty to see.

Faced with the lord's rebuke, Tom and David immediately panicked and knelt on one knee, asking Ronin for forgiveness and explaining the reason.

It turned out that they heard Betty say that it was arranged by Corinne, and thought that Ronin had discussed it with the other party, so they did not stop her from coming in, but they did not expect that there was a misunderstanding.

"In the future, even if a fly wants to come in, it must come and report to me first. I will let it in after I allow it!"

"Yes, sir!"

Tom and David trembled with fear. It was indeed their fault in handling this matter. They should have reported it first.

Ronin waved his hand, "Take her out!"

Betty didn't dare to stay here any longer when she saw this scene, and she was about to go out in a panic.

"Take the fruit plate away!" Ronin added.

"Okay, okay..."

She turned around quickly, took the fruit plate and left quickly.

Looking at the other party's back as he left, Ronin frowned and analyzed the purpose of Corinne's doing so.

"Did he send a woman simply because he thought I was lustful, or did he want to ruin my reputation?"

The war was about to begin. If Ronin got into a scandal like Selena because of a woman, his reputation would probably be as bad as Wiggins'.

With the lessons learned from his predecessor, how could he repeat the same mistake?

On the other hand, Corian was very surprised when he heard Betty's report.

"You can leave now."

Corian waved his hand to let Betty leave, still a little bit unbelieving: "Betty's appearance is first-class, I didn't expect Ronin to be able to hold back and not do it. Could it be that he has really changed his character?"

"It's possible. After all, he suffered a loss at the hands of Earl Orson's granddaughter, which is why he lost his inheritance rights."

Brissot was a little regretful: "In this way, the plan to ruin his reputation has gone down the drain."

"It doesn't matter."

Corian sat down, "There is not only one way to ruin a reputation. If this war fails miserably, his reputation is probably worse than his father's!"

"If the noble coalition is completely wiped out, he, Ronin, as the commander, will probably be considered incompetent by all the nobles, right?"

These coalitions, even if they are weak, are assets of the nobles. Losing them will be more or less painful, and then there will be rumors about Ronin.

In the evening, Elron returned to the Giant Stone Castle and reported the news about the materials of the explosive potion.

Unfortunately, the required potions could not be gathered in the Stone City, especially the material of "blood hemp grass", which no one in the Magic Energy Chamber of Commerce had heard of.

It seemed impossible for Ronin to have explosive potions in a short time.

Ronin did not attend the dinner at the Stone Castle, but discussed with Rydar, McKen and others how to set up camp.

This is their first war. Many things can be left undone, but they can also take this as an opportunity to accumulate experience.

When Joffrey, Rogna and even Tom grow up and lead the team in the future, they will also know how to deal with this aspect.

Sometimes improvement is not limited to strength, but the ability to handle things is also important.

The commander's absence from the Corian dinner party seems ordinary, but different people have different understandings.

Those knights or nobles who belong to other nobles naturally don't care, but people like Toru, Philip and Thorstein have to face it.

They already know Ronin's attitude towards work. Before taking over Chishan Town, they need to refuse banquets like this appropriately, even if it will damage the face of the inviter.

The next morning, Ronin summoned all the leaders, including Toru, Corian and others, and held a meeting in the fortress of Giant Stone Castle.

Although there were nearly 60 people attending the meeting, in fact, only a few high-end combat forces could make decisions, and the other responsible persons only had to execute them.

"When marching and fighting, the first thing to do is to know your own situation."

Ronin took out what he had prepared yesterday and circulated it to Toru and others.

"I didn't move the team with a complete knight squad, but I need to organize the other idle people into a team, assign a person in charge, and assign related matters."

Toru took the parchment and carefully browsed the text on it. The more he read, the more shocked he was.

Ronin didn't attend the dinner yesterday just to do this?

He couldn't help but secretly glanced at the young man next to him. This speed and way of handling things, can really be done by someone who has never been on the battlefield?

"Sir Toru, what do you think?"

Ronin asked: "If you feel there is something wrong, you can propose it for modification."

"I think your series of arrangements are very reasonable!"

As he said, he handed the parchment to Marvin on the side, and the two deputy commanders took a look first.

"Lord Lulans asked Marvin and me to come and assist you. Now it seems that you may not need us, and you can lead this war!"

After Marvin quickly read through it, his eyes were full of shock.

He was a rough man and could not do such delicate work, but this did not prevent him from admiring those who could do such delicate work.

"Toru is right, Ronin, I have no objection, just do as you say!"

He may not be satisfied with this, and added: "I feel that our Wushan Territory is about to have an outstanding military strategist!"

After this, all those who did not see the content of the letter became curious. What was written on this piece of paper that made the two commanders admire and admire it so much?

Corian was suspicious. Is it really so exaggerated?

Could it be that the Marquis arranged it in advance to pave the way for Ronin?

But thinking of Betty's report yesterday, Ronin was indeed writing something on the table at that time, but Betty did not see the specific content.

"Viscount Marvin, can I have a look too?"

Marvin was startled. He forgot to circulate the parchment and quickly handed it to Corian.

Corian quickly took it and started reading.

You won't know until you see it. You'll be shocked.

On the parchment, the team number, team leader, main members and tasks of each team were neatly written.

These tasks were not general, but detailed.

For example, some teams were responsible for reconnaissance, some were responsible for defense, some were responsible for analyzing intelligence, some were responsible for maintaining the security of the camp, etc.

In addition to the combat troops, Ronin even had a division of labor for logistics-craftsmen, cooks, grooms, and even cleaners had teams and people in charge.

If the noble coalition, which was like a pile of loose sand, really followed the rules and formations of Ronin, the effect would definitely be better than each acting on its own.

"This..."

Corian was shocked, but still wanted to find some faults.

"Commander, I think there is something inappropriate."

"Oh?"

Ronin was not angry at all in the face of doubts, but showed a pleasant expression.

"Baron Correan, please let us know what you think, and we can discuss it!" (End of this chapter)
