Wizard Lords: Building an Empire starts from the panel

Levi couldn't help but feel a little amused when he saw Siegfried's embarrassment, but he was not prepared to embarrass the captain of the fourth team of the Ice Knights.

"Captain Siegfried, please sit down first and taste the craftsmanship of this hunter and gourmet." After speaking, Levi handed Siegfried two skewers of freshly roasted grouse and continued: "Our They all have the same stance, which is to defend the kingdom and fight against the orcs."

Siegfried took the barbecue in a daze, stood still, paused for a while, and then said: "Baron Monterey, I have offended you so much before, please forgive me!"

For the arrogant Siegfried, admitting his mistakes and apologizing was no easier than confronting a Sunshine Orc. He spoke with almost all his strength.

"Haha, Captain Siegfried, you are too reserved. Sit down and eat meat first!"

Seeing Siegfried sitting on the ground opposite him and eating the barbecue in his hand, Levi continued:

"It's not your fault. My previous arrangement is really unreasonable. It's only right that you raise questions. Only mediocre people will obey and not take the initiative to think."

To be honest, Levi had no ill feelings towards Siegfried. Even though the captain in front of him questioned his orders, doubts were still doubts. Levi followed the instructions quickly, obeying but not blindly following them.

And the reason for his doubts is also very reasonable. If Siegfried had no doubts, Levi would have doubts about this guy's abilities.

Soon, while eating and drinking, several people started chatting.

"Captain Siegfried, where are you from?"

"Baron Monterey, just call me Siegfried. I come from the Brandenburg family in the Southern Territory, but I grew up in the royal capital and am not very familiar with the Southern Territory."

"Okay Siegfried, then you can just call me Levi. I just come from an ordinary baron family in the north."

During the chat, Siegfried talked to Li Wei about many interesting things about the royal capital.

What about the Count who was wandering alone after drinking and fell into the moat and almost drowned? What about the Marquis who was stripped off his clothes and tied to the flagpole by His Majesty the King for three days because he embezzled a large amount of materials when he was a logistics officer? The second son of the family; two noble sons who got into a fight over a certain charming courtesan.

Li Wei listened to these anecdotes with great interest, but what he focused on was not the story itself, but the information hidden behind the story.

For example, Li Wei discovered that most of the great nobles in the two northeastern realms stayed in their fiefdoms. The center of the kingdom only had representatives sent by them and some heirs who could not seize the nobility and could only find ways to become government officials.

However, due to the influence of objective geographical factors for hundreds of years, the second border in the southwest has been difficult to expand outside, and it has rarely been invaded by foreign enemies, and there have been fewer wars.

Therefore, many of the great nobles of the two southwest territories stayed in the royal capital and only controlled their own fiefdoms from a distance, especially the western territory. After more than a hundred years of peace, it was as stable as the hinterland counties.

Originally, in the structure of the Kingdom of Fontaine, although the central government was still controlled by local aristocratic groups, its officials were filled by children of aristocrats.

The essence of the center is actually a tool for the nobles of the four realms to extract the blood of the hinterland counties.

However, because the nobles of the two northeastern realms have been lingering in the border counties and fiefdoms for a long time due to the war, less energy has been invested in the center than in the southwestern two realms.

In addition, the two major aristocratic groups in the two southwest counties were inferior to the two northeastern counties in terms of number of nobles and title levels. The royal family wanted to try to balance the power of both parties.

As a result, with the overt and covert support of the royal family, the two major aristocratic groups in the two southwest territories occupied more key positions in the central government.

This resulted in the central government intentionally or unintentionally suppressing the two major aristocratic groups in the Northeast when handling the affairs of the kingdom.

Of course, this kind of suppression cannot be too excessive, or even visible, because the kingdom itself is still left to the aristocracy, which has the power to dismiss any official.

In the Parliament of Nobles, the two major aristocratic groups from the Northeast and the Second Territory held an overwhelming majority of seats.

The royal family is tied to the aristocratic group in the Southwest Second Realm. Only then could he barely compete with the combined efforts of the two major aristocratic groups in the Northeast.

Of course, there are also many conflicts between the two major aristocratic groups in the Northeast. Especially since the pioneering war against the Orc Empire more than 20 years ago, the northern aristocratic group has suddenly become the largest force in the kingdom. Naturally, It has also become the target of secret suppression and restrictions from all parties.

Just like the last defense battle of Snow Dragon Fortress, Marquis Ashan, who was on the disadvantaged side, repeatedly requested support.

However, the nobles of the three realms and the royal family just wanted to hold on to the elite standing army of the kingdom and just wanted to sit back and watch the noble group of the northern realm suffer a heavy blow.

If the cheap brother Hopkins Omei clearly sorted out the relationship network of the major forces in the north for Li Wei, then Siegfried in front of him gave Li Wei a rough understanding of the political structure of the kingdom. cognition.

In the end, Levi and Siegfried happily ended their exchange tonight, and both parties returned to their respective camps with satisfaction.

As for the reason for satisfaction, Levi and Siegfried reached a PY deal, which was to lie about the number of werewolves in the attack on the grain team to two thousand.

The main reason is that the proportion of elites above level 3 among these werewolves who sneaked behind enemy lines is too high. If Levi can hand over the heads of werewolves above level 433, it is reasonable for him to say that there are 2,000 werewolves in this group.

As for why there aren’t so many heads?

Naturally, there were too many werewolves and there was no time to hunt them down. Levi and the Ice Knights could only pick targets with higher value first.

Of course, the matter of concealing the number of enemy troops cannot be circumvented by Mira. Mira definitely agreed with both hands. It was not that we were too incompetent, but that the werewolves who attacked were too powerful. It was understandable that the food transport team suffered heavy losses. It was Mira's ability to even delay the arrival of reinforcements!

A typical funeral.

If Mira operates properly and is lucky enough, she might even be able to get a small amount of military exploits.

Of course, the bulk of the cake was occupied by Levi and the fourth brigade of the Ice Blade Knights who participated in the war.

The next day, after saying a simple goodbye to everyone and giving some instructions to Yaqis, Levi took Harland and Bellam and flew straight towards the Snow Dragon Fortress in Fat Purple. He couldn't wait to find Marquis Ashan helped run it.

From now on, Mr. Levi will no longer be a Baron, but a noble Viscount!

"What did you say? The inheritance of the legendary wizard?" Levi's voice suddenly rose an octave.

Back at Snow Dragon Fortress, Li Wei first took Beram and Harland back to the military camp. The orderly camp made Li Wei very satisfied.

Afterwards, Li Wei first went to the camp next door to find his cheap brother and half-brother-in-law, Viscount Ome, to learn about the current situation of the Snow Dragon Fortress.

When he heard that there was a rumor in the Snow Dragon Fortress that Li Wei had obtained the inheritance of a legendary wizard, Li Wei admitted that he was indeed panicked at the time.

Just kidding, what Levi has in his hands is not the so-called legendary wizard inheritance at all, but the inheritance of the tenth-level powerhouse Great Sage of the Void from the main plane of Faerun.

Although it only involves the content below level five, its value in the Hisoka plane is absolutely unlimited.

Levi, who reacted quickly, immediately refuted this ridiculous statement loudly, using his main skill to show off his strong looks and inner feelings.

I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!
