Wizard Lords: Building an Empire starts from the panel
Chapter 126 Revisiting Mantra City
After fastening the last button, Levi took a good look in front of the mirror, and then walked straight out the door.
Old Pedro followed quickly and continued: "Baron, our Monterey family has made enough this time. Why don't you apply for rotational leave? After all, you have made such great achievements as a baron. According to the practice of the kingdom, there is The qualification application is to return to the rear and take turns.”
Levi finally stopped and answered seriously:
"Grandpa Pedro, I have just boarded the Clippers. This opportunity is very rare. It is impossible for me to retreat. Don't worry, I will be fine with Fat Zi protecting me."
Immediately, Levi went straight to the platform at the top of the castle under the worried eyes of old Pedro, jumped on the fat man's back, and left Monterey Castle without looking back.
"I hope Lord Baron can come back safely this time."
------------
High in the sky, the icy cold wind kept blowing against Levi's cheek. At this moment, his heart was not as calm as he showed.
Whether it was to avoid disappointing Marquis Ashan or to get rid of the situation of being at the mercy of others.
To put it bluntly, at this time, Levi chose this path because of the ambition growing in his heart.
At the beginning, Levi was unwilling to settle for a little Baron Monterey. Essentially, it was just because his predecessor was assassinated, and he had just traveled through time and suffered a military disaster that was almost catastrophic, and he had a serious lack of security.
After a period of observation and understanding, Levi slowly concluded that if he wants to survive in this damn world and live with dignity, he must climb up!
Whether it is personal cultivation or one's own power and financial resources, we must try our best to improve it.
Slowly, Levi tasted the taste of power and came into contact with the world of superiors, and his purpose was no longer so simple.
There were several details that few people knew about the so-called Snow Dragon Fortress victory created under the command of Marquis Ashan years ago.
In order to give full play to the advantages of the giant counterweight trebuchet, Marquis Ashan secretly sent a message to the commanders of Bauhinia Pass and the Frozen Fortress, asking them to deliberately use a loophole to let the orcs break through the levels on their own.
In order not to arouse the vigilance of the orcs, the feigned defeat plans in the two important locations were only known to a few officers at the top, but not to the soldiers below.
When the two fortresses deliberately exposed their flaws and were broken through by the orc army, at least a total of three thousand soldiers died in the hands of the orcs.
To the superiors, four thousand soldiers are just a number that can be sacrificed for the overall situation at any time. But for themselves, they only have one life, and if they lose it, it is gone.
Marquis Ashan and Li Wei emphasized the pattern and the need to take a long-term approach and proceed from the overall situation.
At that time, Li Wei was thinking that the so-called overall situation might be the highest interests of the big shots.
Levi didn't want to become a victim of dying for the greater good in this life.
As long as Levi climbs high enough, he is the overall situation.
Only others sacrifice for his own benefit, and there is no such thing as sacrificing himself for the benefit of others.
Levi no longer simply climbs up to live with dignity, he also wants to appreciate the scenery at the top and taste the power of deciding the lives and deaths of millions of people with a single word.
Li Wei has always been a vulgar person, and in this life, he is still vulgarly pursuing power, wealth, and strength!
Li Wei could not retreat, let alone did not want to retreat. He wanted him to continue to return to the new five counties not only for military glory and new territory, but also to increase his weight in the heart of Marquis Ashan.
At this stage, Marquis Ashan's so-called approval is nothing more than a blank check. He chose himself only for the benefit of the Ashan family.
Li Wei believed that if the Marquis of Ashan found someone more suitable than him, who was better than Li Wei in the military and general affairs fields, whose cultivation talent and family power were worse than Li Wei's, who had a calmer personality and less ambition, maybe Ya The Marquis of the Mountain will kick himself away.
Therefore, Li Wei needs to constantly brush his face with Marquis Ashan, increase his stakes, and show his value when the overall situation is still uncertain.
The head of the Ashan family is not just some guy on the street. Even if this position is given to someone with a foreign surname like Li Wei, its gold content is no less than that of a real earl.
The cold wind was still biting, but the ambition in Li Wei's heart was like a blazing flame, burning him hot.
------------
Mantra City, the capital of Greene County.
Green County has been completely free of war for quite some time, and Mantra City has naturally returned to its former prosperity.
Caravans and pedestrians coming and going formed long queues at the gate of Mantra City, and the city gate tax alone was collected every day.
Levi flew to Mantra City in Fat Purple without much fanfare, so it was unclear whether it was a demonstration or a visit.
He asked Fat Zi to stop behind a hill outside Mantra City, and he walked towards Mantra City.
Although he did not ride a horse or have any followers, Li Wei's aristocratic demeanor and clothing also alarmed the veterans guarding the gate.
After openly announcing his identity and purpose of visit, Li Wei was respectfully invited into the city and arranged into a fairly good carriage, which drove towards the Earl's Mansion.
"My Lord Earl, I haven't seen you for more than two months, and your spirit has become stronger and stronger!"
As soon as Levi entered Earl Norton's study, he immediately lowered his posture and said hello to him.
"Nephew Li Weixian, I saw it right, you are truly a heroic young man!
When you left the city of Mantra and headed north, I knew you would definitely be able to achieve something great, but I didn't expect that you were far beyond my wildest imagination! "
Earl Norton was smiling, and Levi couldn't see the slightest hint of hesitation.
"Thanks to you, I only got a little credit for my good luck after going north, but it is far less than your merits in guarding a county.
Moreover, the opportunity and route arrangement to go north were all determined by you. It can be said that all my opportunities were given by you. I am very grateful for your help! "
"Haha, it's rare for a young man to be so humble. You are the first young man I have ever seen who is quite capable but has a weak tone."
"How can I claim to be capable? It's just that I have better luck."
"I heard that Marquis Ashan thinks highly of you?"
coming!
Levi and the old fox Earl Norton argued for a long time, but the other party still insisted on this key point.
"Boy, I happened to save the Marquis' daughter Flora and her son-in-law, Viscount Ome, before, so the Marquis also took good care of me."
"Oh? Is that just that?
I intend to betroth my daughter Vera to you, what do you think? "
Cold sweat broke out on Levi's head instantly. He had just made a false shot in an attempt to get away, but he didn't expect Earl Norton to hit Levi's vitals directly.
