Wizard Lords: Building an Empire starts from the panel

"Oh? Is that so? Well, there is no problem on my side." Viscount Hells said with a low smile.

This Viscount, who had made countless military exploits in his prime, had entered his twilight years and had long since lost his ambition. Now he only wanted to finish his last duty safely and honorably.

Didn’t you see that Marquis Ashan placed such a character in a place like Luke’s Fortress?

Now Viscount Hells no longer thinks much about military merit. He has looked away. In his generation, the Hulls family will not be able to cross the threshold of the great noble family of earl.

As for what Levi's true intentions were, he didn't want to care. After all, the approval document for the troop deployment was personally signed by the Marquis of Ashan, and he, Viscount Hells, did not bear this responsibility.

It is rare for people to become confused when they are old, and Viscount Hells did not want to get too involved in this matter.

When Levi saw the other party's reaction, he knew that he had not completely fooled Viscount Hells, but the other party did not want to pursue it too closely.

So he stood up, bowed deeply to Viscount Hells, and said: "Viscount Hells, thank you for your support!"

Viscount Hells waved his hand with a smile and said, "I just followed the rules."

Viscount Hells then told Levi some relevant information about the battalion of Ice Knights in Luke's Fortress. Finally, the two chatted for a few more words. Levi asked Hells on the grounds that time was tight and the military situation was urgent. The viscount took his leave and left.

"It's great to be young..."

…………

After Levi left Viscount Hells' office, he was led by the waiter to the station of the Second Battalion (thousand people) of the Ice Blade Knights.

The Ice Edge Knights are divided into three, and Luke Fortress is garrisoned by one of the battalions. The Ice Edge Knights stationed here are also under the control of the Luke Fortress security commander.

The Ice Blade Knights' camp is in good order, and the layout of the military camp is also quite particular. This elite force has established a complete military camp even if it is stationed in Luke Fortress.

There are also many wooden walls, sentry towers, trenches, antlers, pools, etc. In addition, although the entire military camp cannot be called five steps, one post, ten steps, and one sentry, it can be regarded as heavily guarded.

On the huge playground in the middle of the military camp, about a hundred Ice Knights were practicing. There were constant sounds of cheers, clashes of weapons, and officers' instructions. The entire military camp was in full swing in the cold wind of early spring. scene.

At this time, Li Wei could appreciate the elegance of the most elite professional army in the kingdom. Although this battalion of Ice Knights is within the fortress, they are still on high alert. Although they are in a state of war, they still maintain a certain intensity of training.

Levi couldn't help but compare the Monterey Private Army he had carefully built with the Ice Knights, and finally came to the conclusion that his Monterey Private Army was not worthy of carrying shoes for others, even the fifty most elite three-level soldiers. A regular soldier cannot compare with others.

Li Wei estimated that a small team (thirty knights) of ice-front knights might be able to overwhelm his fifty most elite third-level knights. The fifty ice-front knights could easily destroy his three hundred self-proclaimed "elite" knights. Monterey Private Army.

Thinking of this, Master Li Wei felt a little sour.

In fact, to be fair, the quality of Master Li Wei's private army is already excellent. After all, few nobles can equip their third-level soldiers with two extraordinary pieces of equipment like Master Li Wei.

After all, the standing elite corps of the Kingdom of Fontaine is the ceiling of the military strength of several surrounding countries, and not just anyone can touch it casually.

The last time the Snow Dragon Fortress was victorious, Marquis Ashan led more than 3,000 elite knights of the Frozen Knights to penetrate the 60,000 orc front army several times, and dared to confront the 60,000 orc rear army with a tight formation. The orcs were stunned. Dare to take the initiative.

"When can I have a fully-organized private army with seven-tenths of the quality of the Kingdom's standing elite army?" Looking at the Ice Knights in the camp, Levi became more determined in his idea of ​​building an elite army.

Soon, under the leadership of an Ice Knight, Levi finally met the commander of this battalion of Ice Knights.

"Hello, Commander Gordon, I am Levi Monterey. I have been ordered by Marquis Ashan to dispatch a large group of Ice Knights to perform a mission."

According to Viscount Hells' tip, Commander Gordon is also a loyal supporter of the Marquis of Ashan. Since his troop deployment approval document was signed by the Marquis of Ashan, there should be no problem at this level.

Gordon took Levi's troop deployment approval, identity certificate, and Hells' warrant. After confirming the authenticity, he asked: "Baron Monterey, what mission are you going to perform? Can you tell me?"

"I'm very sorry, Commander Gordon. I really can't disclose this. I can only say that it may last for several days, and there is a high probability that there will be a battle." Levi avoided Gordon's question with a wry smile and threw a Dispensable information.

"Well, since the Marquis has approved it, I will naturally comply."

"Let the Fourth Brigade be fully armed and assemble urgently in accordance with the standards of Order No. 6, and call Siegfried!"

The guard next to him took the order and quickly ran out of the camp.

After a while, half of the military camp began to move, and then a tall knight broke into Gordon's tent.

"Battal Commander! Do you have any mission?"

"Siegfried, this is Baron Monterey. He was ordered by Marquis Ashan to perform a mission. I don't know the specific content, but from now on, Baron Monterey is your boss, and you must obey him absolutely. The command."

With that said, Gordon pointed to Levi next to him, and Levi nodded slightly in response.

"As ordered!"

"Baron Monterey, Siegfried is the captain of the fourth brigade. When the time comes, our fourth brigade of the Ice Knights will be under your command. I hope you can bring all these young men back."

"Don't worry, Battalion Commander Gordon. Although this mission is not very dangerous, I will be careful."

Twenty-five minutes later, after Levi temporarily settled Angel, he led Beram, Harland and the assembled fourth team of the Ice Knights to meet outside Luke's Fortress.

This cavalry force of three hundred men was far larger than Livy thought.

The knights are all equipped with two war horses and a horse. In addition, the team is also equipped with 100 baggage vehicles.

"Baron Monterey, what mission are we going to perform this time? If possible, can you hurry up? I don't want to waste too much time."

Facing his nominal superior, Siegfried did not dismount to pay respects. He just sat on the saddle, holding a whip in one hand, and casually asked Li Wei about his battle plan.

It was obvious that the captain of the Fourth Brigade of the Ice Knights, who had an extraordinary background and not bad abilities, regarded Li Wei as an incompetent yamen who came out to get gold.

"Hey! You have a nicer attitude!" Harland next to him was about to have a fit, but Levi pushed him back.

Levi seemed not to see the other party smiling scornfully at Harland, and explained to Siegfried:

"Captain Siegfried, I can't reveal this at the moment. Let's go north and follow the grain road. We'll find out when we get there."

The tall knight in front of him still maintained a lot of awe when facing Gordon, but when facing Levi, he seemed much more arrogant.

Li Wei didn't care. After all, he was a proud soldier of the Ice Blade Knights. If he was as well-behaved as a kitten when facing outsiders, Li Wei would be suspicious.

The group of people went all the way north. Due to the baggage trains that slowed down their march, it took them a day and a half to reach Crowfall Forest.

Originally, Siegfried thought that he could finally start taking action. Unexpectedly, besides taking a few people to carefully survey the surrounding environment, Levi actually asked the Ice Blade Knights to find a remote corner to huddle up.

In the true sense of the word, even the sentries and secret sentries outside were ordered to withdraw. They could only eat dry food and could not cook in pots.

How can anyone lurk behind their own lines during a war?

This operation brought Siegfried's doubts about Li Wei to the top.

It was difficult for Li Wei to explain this. It was unknown whether the elite orcs who had penetrated to the rear would come to Crowfall Forest to attack the grain road, and when they would come here.
