Wizard Lords: Building an Empire starts from the panel

At night, Levi sat alone in his study, listening to the clanking sound of orcs tapping on the ice wall outside the window, and he became increasingly irritable. It stands to reason that the messenger who asked for help tonight should have returned, but he had a bad suspicion in his mind.

At this time, there was a sudden commotion outside.

"Lord Baron, the messenger sent to the county for help is back!" The waiter hurriedly ran to report to Li Wei.

Levi's expression was shocked and he couldn't help but stand up.

"Finally the wait has come!" Levi sighed.

"Invite him in quickly!"

I saw a dusty knight walking into Levi's study under the guidance of the waiter.

After a brief salute, the knight took out a letter slightly moistened with sweat from his arms.

The knight handed the letter to Levi while reporting: "Lord Baron, this is Earl Norton's reply to you.

In addition, according to your instructions, I got some information in the county. The orcs should have launched a full-scale attack this time. Our Green County alone was attacked by multiple orcs at the same time.

But the main direction of attack may not be here. I inquired that Earl Norton had sent an elite private army to Yorkshire five days ago. "

While listening to the knight's report, Levi opened the seal and quickly read Earl Norton's reply.

After reading the reply and hearing the knight's reward, Li Wei said calmly: "Thank you for your hard work. You can go down and have a good rest. By the way, you can go to the warehouse and withdraw 20 gold coins. This is the reward you deserve. Go ahead. "

"Thank you, Lord Baron!" The messenger couldn't help but blush and left the room excitedly. Although this mission is very dangerous, the reward from Lord Baron is indeed generous.

"Go and ask the captain of the guard, the captain of the cavalry, and the old steward to come to my study. Tell them that I have something urgent to discuss."

After hearing this, several waiters immediately hurried out to inform.

Ten minutes later, in Levi's study.

The four people were sitting on the sofa, and the atmosphere was a bit dull.

"Lord Baron, is there any news of reinforcements?"

"Uncle Harland, I was about to tell you, but I didn't know how to speak."

"My Lord Baron said so bluntly."

“I just received a reply from Earl Norton, this time the orcs are invading in full force.

Not only Green County, but also the entire northern border of the kingdom is in crisis. Earl Norton even deployed part of his private army to support Yorkshire five days ago. "

"Then we don't care here? There is such a big defense gap!"

"Earl Norton made it clear in his reply that since my grandfather passed away, the focus of our defense in this direction has been shifted to Viscount Verin in the rear.

The meaning of the county is very clear. Our strength cannot support the defense work in one direction. "

"Then we were abandoned like this? The old lord was a subordinate of the older generation of Earl Norton back then. Your grandmother was a branch of the Earl Norton family. The current Monterey family can have part of the blood of the Norton family!"

Old Pedro on the side looked very excited.

"Grandpa Pedro, Earl Norton is not so decisive. He said in the letter that considering that several members of our Monterey family have sacrificed their lives for the kingdom, they will not let the Monterey family die easily.

Therefore, he allowed us to resist at Fort Monterey for at least three days before we could withdraw to Moon Bay City where Viscount Verin was located to assist Viscount Verin in defending the city. "

"What do you mean, Lord Baron?"

"Uncle Bellam, actually~ I want to try again. I am not willing to abandon the Montenegrin Territory and abandon these people.

If we retreat to Yuewan City, we may be able to escape, but how many civilians in the Black Mountain Territory can escape? "

"I support your idea. If you have a way to defend Fort Monterey, even if the possibility of success is low, I am willing to take a gamble with you."

Levi didn't expect that Beram, the captain of the bodyguard whom he had never understood, would promise him so neatly.

Cavalry captain Harland and old butler Pedro also clearly expressed their support for Levi.

"Okay! Since the elders are willing to support me, I am more confident. I will think about the countermeasures carefully first, and we will discuss it in detail tomorrow."

After sending Pedro and the others away, Levi sat quietly on the sofa and thought about countermeasures. After a while, he finally determined that he could not hold on to the Black Mountain Territory alone based on the current conditions.

It seems that the only thing left is to gamble on the treasure token left before.

Summoning the panel in his consciousness, he clicked on the elementary treasure order.

[Do you want to use this primary treasure order? 】

"Yes"

[Please choose one of the following three rewards]

[Reward 100]: Talent: Explosion. In the burst state, your casting speed is increased by 50%, the casting cost is increased by 10%, and the casting power is increased by 30%, lasting seconds.

[Please host to make a choice within 300 seconds]

After only thinking for a few seconds, Levi made a decision. Now he no longer cares about long-term gains. Strengthening combat effectiveness in a short period of time is the optimal solution.

I choose the third item, War Scroll!

[Ding~The reward-War Scroll has arrived, please check it in the system storage box]

[Tip: The system storage box has no storage limit, but can only store items produced by the system]

Levi thought for a while, and then he made a bold decision.

Five minutes later, Cavalry Captain Harland was in the bedroom.

"Uncle Harland, I want to talk to you." Before he could say hello, Levi went straight to the topic.

"Lord Baron, if you need anything, just tell me directly."

"Someone in the Black Mountain Territory wants to harm me!" Li Wei said with shocking words.

In Haaland's incredible expression, Levi recounted the accident he encountered when he broke through to the third level.

"According to what you said, I, Beram, and Uncle Pedro are all suspected of committing the crime?"

"No, I trust you more, so I came to see you tonight."

"With all due respect, Lord Baron, I think neither Bellam nor Uncle Pedro will betray you. Well, to be precise, they will never betray Lord Gareth."
