Chapter 109 What a Difficult Task

Codoville is the most prosperous city in the southern province of the empire, because it connects the four major passes of the southern province, and to the east is the transportation hub of the empire's golden port, Dilunbais, and to the north, there is the Imperial Avenue that leads directly to the imperial capital. With its unique geographical advantages, Codoville is one of the best trade centers in the entire Gangwu Empire!

As the lord of this city's territory, it can be said that he can receive soft and happy errands while sitting and collecting money, but as the lord of this term: Wallis Belsheen, he is panicking a lot at this moment!

His lord father was recruited by the king and entered the imperial capital as the finance minister of the empire to take care of the dire financial situation for the current militaristic king.

Before he left, his father passed on the lord's duties to him. As the eldest son with many siblings, Wallis was very surprised to be confirmed as the lord so quickly, even though his father had been gone for almost three months. , he still failed to wake up from this dreamlike joy.

But I didn't expect that before he had a good time, a thunderbolt from the blue sky almost smashed him into a pen.

Morondo has fallen! !

When the first knight who escaped from Morondo reported the news, he even thought it was a prank, but when dozens of knights escaped and said the same thing, he knew that his good days were over!

The Belsheen family has managed this large trading city for generations. The family is rich in outstanding businessmen and politicians. Over the past 700 years, this family has produced six prime ministers, four finance ministers, and even two chief academicians.

But the only one who has never produced a general with great military exploits! !

It's not that there haven't been talents in this area for hundreds of years, but that the family has never tried to cultivate this area at all!

As a family with huge financial resources, the king would probably not tolerate their family being prosperous for so long if they returned to the family with a martial style.

So here comes the problem. The family has taught them how to manage finances, how to deal with cunning politicians, how to intrigue and bargain with those chamber of commerce giants from their childhood elite education.

But the only thing I didn't teach them was how to deal with the orcs coming in.

Wallis didn't know what to do, and he guessed that his father, the chancellor of the exchequer, didn't know what to do either. After all, this kind of thing is impossible to happen in most people's perception, and basically no one will learn how to do it. prevention

Due to the interference of inexplicable energy, the city's arcane barrier has been confirmed to be temporarily invalid. All he can do now is to follow the advice of some knight commanders who have been in the north to arrange city defenses, and immediately send people to the imperial capital for help.

To be honest, if he wasn't afraid of losing face, he was ready to go to the imperial capital to ask for help, but he knew that if he did this, his status as the heir would definitely not fall on him again after the orc incident!

"Lord Wallis, another knight has escaped from there!" A burly middle-aged knight in gorgeous armor stepped forward and reported.

"Oh?" Wallis cheered up: "Bring him here"

In the past few days, apart from arranging city defenses, the only reliable thing he has done is to promote knights who are really capable!

For example, the person in front of me is a veteran who has participated in many battles in the north, but because he is too rigid, he has been squeezed out by various colleagues and officials when he arrived in the south, and he has been unsuccessful.

After all, in the south, whether the knights can fight or not is not important in many cases. The nobles prefer knights who are tall, handsome, stylish, suitable for acting as a facade, and can speak well. Such knights can be reused instead.

He used to be like this too, but now at this juncture, no matter how unreliable he is, he knows that he can't do this anymore, so he hurriedly organized a selection, trying to pick out a group of real fighters who can fight and keep him from escaping when the orcs come in. knight.

It was also during the selection that he realized how stupid the guards were. After seeing a dozen of his guards being hacked down by the old knight with his right hand while urinating with his left hand, Not only did Wallis not dislike his rudeness, but he decisively promoted this short and thin old man to become his chief knight commander!

The old knight was named Dane, and he said something heartfelt to himself out of his sincerity: "If the lord wants to find a knight who can really fight, it's better to select from those knights who can escape, than you are in those ostentatious knights." It must be much more efficient to conduct selections here!"

Wallis was not stupid. As a nobleman who had received an elite education since childhood, his mind turned quickly, and he understood the reason why the other party said that almost instantly.

Knights in the south have always been very watery. Those who are procrastinating and falsifying their records, most of them can be eloquent. They picked from the pile, and probably couldn't pick a few to watch.

On the contrary, most of those who escaped from the attack of the orcs and escaped from the pursuit of the orcs' wolf riders were people with two brushes!

Sure enough, after following old Dane's advice, Wallis really picked out a lot of good fighters from the escaped knights!

Most of them were able to beat the guards in front of him on the ground, and there were even a few knights who maintained their superb bronze fighting spirit, which made him very satisfied, and he was immediately relieved.

But the number is still too small, so I have been looking forward to two more escaped from there, so he was very enthusiastic when he heard that there were knights asking for them back.

"Have you inquired about this person?" Wallis asked affectionately, putting his arm on Old Dane's shoulder.

Old Dane frowned slightly. The other party's overly enthusiastic attitude seemed to him to be a little deliberate, but as a nobleman, he was given all the face and treatment he deserved, and he couldn't find fault with him. He immediately felt relieved and said respectfully: "This man's name is Rob Duka Osia, and he is the commander of the knights under Phil Tross, the fourth son of Lord Morondo. I am more optimistic about this guy!"

"Oh? How do you say it?" Wallis said with his eyes brightened.

Dane: "First of all, this guy's resume. He was an ordinary soldier serving in the north. He participated in several battles in the north and survived. I chose to come to the south to enjoy the decadence, but the experience of facing the orcs is very valuable, and it is different from those who spend money to go to the knight academy and come to the south directly after graduation, and "

"And what?" Wallis asked urgently.

"And according to his self-reported information, he didn't escape alone this time, and he also successfully protected his noble blood, including a noble woman and two children. This is not a simple task. What the hell!" Old Dane said seriously.

Wallis nodded in surprise when he heard the words. The knights who came back before said that the orcs sent special wolf riders to chase them down. I think this guy should be no exception. Under such conditions, he can escape alone. It's already amazing to come back, this guy can actually escort women and children all the way here, no matter what means he uses, it's really not easy!

"That said, I'm more interested in Dane. In this way, you ask him to come in, and bring in the noble woman and child he is protecting!" Wallis said with a glimmer of light in his eyes. "

"Rob Duka Osia knight?" At this time outside the noble garden, Rob, who had been waiting outside, finally waited for the call.

"Master Wallis told you to bring Mrs. Icasio and the son of Baron Fell in together!"

"Good sir!" Rob said with a polite smile.

After the messenger took the lead and walked forward, Rob turned his head and winked at the so-called Mrs. Icasio and said, "Boss, it's exactly what you said!"

"Shut up, look ahead, you will be called ma'am during the mission, don't reveal your secrets, and you are here!" The lady turned her head viciously and looked at the two little dolls who were looking around with strange faces behind her, and said, "You guys just died, so if you can't act, at least you can Can't you keep a low profile?"

"Oh" the two dolls shrugged.

Yu Nu Wugua, who played the role of the noble lady, not only complained in her heart: "Following this group of pig teammates, trying to get away with it is really a test!" !
