Chapter 198 Chaos in Xigodi

"Let Baron Leroy go to the Lord's Hall. Wait a moment, I have to wash my face."

Simon handed the sword to the guard, pondered for a moment, and said.

"Yes! Lord Baron!" Hearing this, Hilde took the order and left.

Simon tidied up, took care of his appearance, and then went to sit down in the main seat in the Lord's Hall.

"Go and inform Miss Fulin'er that her brother has come to pick her up." He said to Chunlan who was standing beside him.

"Yes~Master~"

Chunlan bowed respectfully, responded charmingly, and then turned around to inform.

Not long after, Sylde came over with a teenager, it was LeRoy Kaye. His face was still full of childishness, but his eyes looked like an adult.

"Baron Simon, good day! We finally meet again!"

Leroy Kay bowed respectfully and shouted.

"You're very lucky, boy. Congratulations on successfully inheriting the position of Baron of the Green Forest." Simon smiled.

"Thanks to your support at that time! I am where I am today! I will always remember your kindness!"

Baron Leroy said with sincerity.

Hearing this, Simon smiled slightly and said, "You are here to pick up your sister, right?

I've asked someone to call her and she'll be here later. "

"Please allow me to call you brother. This time I bring a hundred golden eagles to dedicate to you. It is not a sign of respect."

Leroy took off the bulging money bag from his waist, held it with both hands and bowed forward.

"Okay! You're welcome!"

When Simon heard this, he grinned and motioned to Mai Lan beside him.

He understood immediately and stepped forward to take the wallet.

Leroy still had a smile on his face and said: "Brother, I came here this time to find out some information, I believe you are also interested.

The Greenwood Brotherhood in West Gedi was besieged and suppressed by many parties. Now they are making a desperate attempt to escape to West Gedi through the Long Narrow Territory...

A vanguard army had tried it before, and although it was repelled by Earl Changzhao, the bandits suffered very little damage.

Once the army from the rear arrives, Earl Changzhao will be in great danger. "

"Is it possible that the Duke of Lingu will just stand by and watch?" Simon frowned upon hearing this.

"What you don't know is that many lords in the Lingu area have already organized armies to enter West Gedi to eliminate the bandits.

The current main force is held back by the army seeking survival, and cannot send back reinforcements.

Even if the other lords still retain their strength, they will not go to war to save Earl Changzhao.

After all, the intention of the Green Forest Brotherhood is obvious. They are just taking advantage of the road, and ultimately they are heading towards the West Side. "

Baron LeRoy spoke eloquently.

"Then, do you know how many troops the Green Forest Brotherhood has now?" Simon pondered for a moment and asked.

"More than 100,000! However, there were many women, children, and children in their team, and those bandits actually brought their families along with them on the road.

Although there are many burdens, there are at least 30,000 soldiers capable of fighting. "Baron Leroy said worriedly.

This power is still very scary to Xi Saidi.

Unless Prince Ferdy or Marquis Val takes action personally, no one can deal with it alone.

"Indeed, a lot." Simon nodded after hearing this, but his expression remained calm.

"Brother, we should make preparations early. Why not contact the surrounding lords to form a coalition and garrison at Sanshan Pass.

Now that place, I heard, is also your territory..." LeRoy carefully observed Simon's expression and tried.

"Your suggestion is interesting, but Sanshan Leader's troops are strong now, so there's no need for me to worry."

Simon stared at him expressionlessly and noticed that there was very light black smoke coming from around him, and he obviously had a slightly bad intention.

Leroy wanted to say something more, but then there was a knock on the door.

"Lord Baron, bring Miss Friner here." Chunlan's voice sounded.

"Come in!" Simon said with a smile.

Immediately afterwards, the door was pushed open, and a girl walked in with a happy face.

"Brother! Great! Have you returned to Windmill Town safely?"

Fuliner threw herself in front of Leroy and said excitedly.

"Although there were some twists and turns on the way, fortunately we arrived smoothly. I have now inherited the position of Baron of the Green Forest Territory."

Leroy said with a smile on his face.

The brother and sister met and reminisced about old times for a while, but Simon watched silently without interrupting.

Not long after, Baron LeRoy looked at him again and saluted respectfully: "Thank you for taking such good care of Fleur."

"Nothing, just take her back." Simon said with a smile.

Baron LeRoy hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother, what do you think of my sister? Why not..."

"Don't! I have so many lovers now that I can't keep them all.

Otherwise Winnis should have a conflict with me. Hearing this, Simon waved his hand and refused.

The Green Forest Territory is just south of the Fearless Territory. The two are bordering each other. They are so close that it is one of the directions for future expansion.

It's best not to get too close to the Kay family, otherwise it will be difficult to take action when the time comes.

As the old saying goes, if a rabbit doesn't eat the grass beside its nest, where can there be no beautiful women? And Fulin'er's beauty is not as good as Kailin's.

When Baron LeRoy heard this, a look of disappointment appeared on his face, but he did not persist anymore.

"Brother, I have an unkind invitation for you to come this time... My green forest area is now deserted, and there are many bandits entrenched...

I hope you can lend me some soldiers to stabilize the territory. "

"Borrow troops?! Is that correct? I started as a free citizen, and you are from the Kaye family in Windmill Town. Are you asking me to borrow troops?

Didn't your family support you? Simon said amusedly.

"This... but...

To be honest, Windmill Town is just a barony in the interior, with a population of only over 10,000, and it can no longer provide me with much help."

Baron Leroy said with some embarrassment and helplessness.

"Then I can't help you." Simon said bluntly.

"I am willing to exchange territories with you, and I can give you an extra standard barony. What do you think?"

Simon thought about it for a while and became interested.

"Mailan, bring the map." He ordered.

"Yes!" Mailan immediately went to the bookshelf beside him and took out a parchment scroll with the nearby terrain drawn on it.

"How do you want to exchange? If I am satisfied, I might consider it."

Simon looked at the map and smiled at Baron Leroy.

"How about this, use this piece to exchange for this part?"

Leroy stared at the map in silence for a while, his cheeks slightly bulging, and made up his mind.

He used the part of the woodland and plains near the Qingshui River to exchange for a piece of woodland and plains in the west.

Simon did make a lot of money by looking at the map.

But now there are many villages in Fearless Territory, whether it is beneficial or not still needs to be carefully considered.

"I recently had a son, did you know?" He thought for a while and suddenly said.

Baron Leroy was stunned, then smiled and said: "Congratulations, big brother, you have a successor!"

"In addition to the heir born by the wife, there is also an illegitimate son, but I also gave him the status of a formal member of the family.

I have already reported to Prince Feddy of Changxiang Territory." Simon smiled at him, hoping that the person in front of him would be sensible.

Baron Leroy hesitated for a while, gritted his teeth and said: "Okay! I will appoint him as a fiefdom knight, and this piece of land will be his knight territory."
