Wizard Lords: Building an Empire starts from the panel

In the guest room, Levi drank hot milk, took a bite of snacks, and thought about how to speak for a while.

On the way to Snow Dragon Fortress after the Battle of Duolun Peak, Viscount Omei gave Li Wei a lot of information about important figures in the newly expanded five counties.

According to his cheap brother Viscount Ome, this Viscount Hells is not a character to be fooled.

The Hulls family itself is a long-established viscount aristocracy. Before this Viscount Hulls succeeded to the throne, they owned three viscounts. Later, the Viscount of Hells fought hard to create two viscounty territories in the last pioneering war against the Orc Empire.

According to the May Day promotion law, Viscount Hells can be promoted to earl if he owns three viscountries and has obtained military merit equivalent to two viscountries.

It's a pity that the actual earl is a carrot and a pit. Normally, a border county is only allowed to have one actual earl. When the final count was ranked for military merit, Viscount Hells was not included.

But Viscount Hells needs to be treated with caution by a small character like Levi, both in terms of family power and personal ability.

Just like this time, Levi wanted to second a large group of Ice Knights to participate in the encirclement and suppression of the orc detachment that penetrated to the rear. This matter was difficult to talk about.

If the person in charge of the affairs of Luke's Fortress is an ordinary person or even a drunkard, then Li Wei can just fool him casually. Anyway, the transfer order given to him by the Marquis of Ashan is genuine. In principle, he can stand up. If it doesn't work, just bring up the name of Marquis Ashan and forcefully suppress the opponent.

But not against Viscount Hells.

First of all, the Viscount of Hells could make great contributions in the last war. Such a role is not easy to fool, and Li Wei does not want to expose his strategic intentions.

If the other party successfully came up with the idea that he wanted to "bet" that the group of orcs passing through would attack the grain road in Crowfall Forest, then Viscount Hells would allow himself to transfer one of the troops from Luke's Fortress. Important defensive force to gamble?

After all, who knows how many orc armies are inserted into the rear like this? Levi went gambling, but all the risks were borne by Luke's Fortress.

In addition, if the Viscount, an expert in art, is bold enough to bet heavily on himself to participate in this "gamble", then more than half of the military achievements that Li Wei could have monopolized will be shared, which is something he doesn't want to do. To be seen.

You must use a set of rhetoric to "deceive" the other party.

Soon, after Levi drank a whole glass of hot milk and finished his third snack, the waiter came to report that it was Viscount Hells who invited him.

After walking through the dark and winding corridors and stairs, Levi arrived at Viscount Hells' office.

"Hello, Viscount Hells, I am Levi Monterey. It is an honor to meet you, a famous general of the kingdom.

Even the young people of our generation are aware of your illustrious military exploits in the kingdom's last pioneering war against the Orc Empire. "

"Hahaha, Baron Monterey is ridiculous. I am already old, and the future belongs to you young people after all. Your victory at Mount Dolon is a textbook example, but even a bad old man like me can't help but sigh. like."

After the two met, Levi did not encounter any difficulties as expected. The two sides exchanged business blows and made the atmosphere at the scene very harmonious.

"Viscount Hells, you know that I came here this time to mobilize a large group of Ice Knights on the order of Marquis Ashan. This is my troop deployment approval document."

With that said, Levi took out a document and pushed it to Viscount Hells on the desk.

Viscount Hells pushed up his reading glasses and read the document over and over again, making Levi nervous.

"The young man is very good. He can actually win the favor of the Marquis. It is not easy to get such an approval letter from the Marquis."

Levi looked at Viscount Hells' half-smiling expression and knew that the other party had already seen the loopholes in the approval document.

At that time, the Marquis of Ashan gave himself a half-blank approval document for troop deployment. This document only mentioned the number of troops to be mobilized, but the specific details of where and when the troops were to be mobilized were not written. These things had to be done by Li Wei. Fill it out yourself.

The result that Levi filled in himself was that the handwriting on it was different.

However, since this approval document has the signature of Marquis Ashan and the official seal of the military headquarters of the newly expanded five counties, it is naturally valid.

"Haha, this is also my luck to gain the trust of the Marquis. The Marquis sent me here to perform a task, but did not send additional troops.

First, the marching speed of the troops is limited and there is no time. Second, this task does not necessarily require troops. Finally, the Marquis gave me this approval document in case of emergency. "

"Can you tell me what it is? Of course, if it's inconvenient, forget it?" Viscount Hells asked with interest.

"Well~~" Levi deliberately pretended to be embarrassed, then gritted his teeth and replied: "You are not an outsider, so I will tell you a little bit.

You should know that it is not easy to provide logistical supplies to our newly expanded five counties, and once a large number of reinforcements from the kingdom arrive, it will be very costly to transport grain from the counties in the hinterland of the kingdom.

The Marquis is worried that if the army is short of food and fodder, the kingdom will choose to scrape the ground in our newly expanded five counties to search for food and grass. This is not a good thing. "

Viscount Hells nodded, but then asked: "That's true, but what does this have to do with you coming here to mobilize troops?"

"It has a lot to do with it!" Levi paused, and then said: "Master Yelina, you must know that Master Yelina recently took the lead in organizing research on a drug that can ripen grain and increase production.

This kind of medicine, called Roja medicine, can shorten the production cycle of food crops to one-third of the original while increasing the yield by 25%.

If this agent can be rolled out in the newly expanded five counties, the logistical pressure on the frontline army can be greatly reduced.

Although using Roja's medicine to ripen crops will increase the cost of food to three or four times the original price, the cost is definitely lower than transporting it from the hinterland of the kingdom. However, the only concern is that this medicine is difficult to mass-produce.

The junior happened to be involved in the research and development of the Roja potion. The mass production of this potion has already begun. There are several extraordinary materials that need to be found in the Evernight Forest. The junior's task is related to this.

Originally I was going to find some hunters to help me, but as you know, most hunters are just as powerful~~

As for the more specific details, it is really inconvenient for me, this junior, so please forgive me, Viscount Hells. "

Levi's half-truth and half-false narrative makes sense logically. Now it depends on whether Viscount Hells is willing to delve deeper into this matter.
