Traitor Summoning System [Infrastructure]

The cathedral banquet ended very smoothly.

From then on, the cathedral may be renamed the Great Refectory.

If Leonard subdued the civilians of Broken Star City before, this time Leonard subdued the remaining nobles of Broken Star City.

Supplemented by food, he relied more on his eloquence and the obvious interests and threats.

The rules are made by the victors, and Leonard doesn't mind showing his fangs at all.

Then there is the relationship with other families.

The big families all had obvious strength changes after this war.

Needless to say, the Black family almost disappeared immediately.

Dadi Brown's loss was also huge. They lost thousands of soldiers, and Duke Brown himself died.

Eagle Bruce had some gains, mainly from the family's prestige side. Before that, Dark Night Black made troubles in his territory a lot, which brought him a lot of losses.But other families suffered even greater losses, and if their opponents were weaker than themselves, it meant that they had become stronger.Duke Bruce is optimistic.

The only one that pours is Briar Green.

The eldest brother Graham sent a letter to Dadi Brown, in which he said sadly that Duke Brown was killed by Duke Black, and many people can testify.Duke Brown stood firmly on the side of the empire until the last moment, guarding the imperial family, and finally died a heroic sacrifice.

He specially saved this face for Dadi Brown, and it was up to Dadi Brown to do and respond.

Dadi Brown also accepted this face.The heir of the Duke of Brown inherited the position of the Patriarch, and then wrote back that Dadi Brown had always followed the royal family, and in order to show his loyalty, he took the initiative to send his six-year-old son to Linye City as an adopted son.To put it bluntly, it is a hostage.

I have to say that Dadi Brown's approach is wonderful.

One is to accept this face and say that he must be loyal to the royal family, so that he can comply with Graham's intentions and remove his charges of treason.

The second point is not so well-behaved.

Dadi Brown should also have an eyeliner here, knowing that the Thorn Green family is now the dominant one.So he deliberately disgusted Thorn Green, saying that he sent his son to Linye City instead of Crown Rhett's Blazing Sun City.

This is obviously sowing discord, saying that the royal family is declining and the Thorn Green is too large.

It's a pity that Rhett V only thinks it doesn't matter, and even thinks it's so convenient. Whatever you want to do, you can do it in Linye City, and you can do it in Thorn Castle. Now he just wants to go back to Blazing Sun City and be the emperor for a few days. Quiet, he has nothing to pursue now, he just wants to enjoy.

Dadi Brown's calculation is considered empty.

It was also kept in mind by Leonard.

The eldest brother Graham was really worried about Rhett V's reaction at first, but seeing Rhett V's indifference, Graham couldn't figure it out, so he asked Leonard.

Leonard said: "Ah, it's okay, as long as he didn't send me to Little Thorn Castle to provoke my relationship with my brother. My relationship with my brother is more than my relationship with Your Majesty."

Graham: ...

He felt like he couldn't take it.

As for Duke Bruce, he took a lot of good things from Black's mansion, including some mithril weapons from the Black family, and some Leonard's ointment. He felt that he had gained something.Although the war went smoothly during this period, it was too long, and he wanted to go back and have a good rest.

But what I can't let go of most is the food here.

What can I do when I go back.Duke Bruce thought.

Leonard leaned over with a smile and said, "Then why not come to Little Thorn Castle as a guest."

"A guest?" Duke Bruce became a little interested.

"Anyway, Mrs. Black and my second brother will come to Little Thorn Castle as guests. There are enjoyments in Little Thorn Castle that you can't even imagine." Leonard said with an exaggerated expression.He was talking about the facilities in the aristocratic area of ​​Wanzhong Town.

Duke Bruce hesitated for a moment.

Leonard clapped his hands, and the slave served a new barbecue.

Duke Bruce took a bite, the roast meat was very tender, the gravy overflowed, mixed with the taste of pepper, the aroma was strong, slightly spicy, the tip of the tongue was slightly numb, the taste buds were washed away by the delicious taste, and the strong aroma occupied the mouth.

"Some of the enjoyment in Little Thorn Castle is comparable to the enjoyment of food. After eating the food made by my chef, the Duke will know that the food is so delicious." Leonard said: "In my place, you will enjoy Something equivalent to this. Now that you are in your position, nobles should relax and indulge. You have worked hard all your life, so you should enjoy it."

Leonard's words reached Duke Bruce's heart.

Although Duke Bruce knew the political significance of this act, he still couldn't help being moved.

In wartime, it was Leonard's lead, and it was wartime.

Now is not the time for war.

Then Leonard said: "Your Majesty will return to Blazing Sun City from now on. I think I will also go to Blazing Sun City to become a courtier. I am afraid that the Black family will still have hidden dangers, and the disputes within the royal family have never stopped." He shook his head and sighed. , "What should I do, after all, an invisible knife kills people more ruthlessly than a tangible one."

Duke Bruce's expression changed slightly.

Leonard's words directly show that he still has greater ambitions.

And this phrase 'an invisible knife is more ruthless than a tangible knife' kills people more ruthlessly, and it is also a kind of silent threat: you have to listen to me when the real time comes, because my visible knife is very strong; after the war, I suggest you listen to me as well If so, because my invisible knife kills people more ruthlessly than a tangible knife.

Duke Bruce heard this meaning.

Ah, yes, after all, he is a young man, and with such a powerful army, it is surprising that he does not seek a higher status.

Duke Bruce found that he really slacked off a lot, and really didn't want to take care of many things, but in terms of family, he always had to take responsibility.

"The Thorn Green is the strongest now, which is similar to the real situation when the four major families became famous at the beginning." Duke Bruce said.

Duke Bruce is actually a threat.

At the beginning, the Black family became the strongest after the war, and then they were messed up by other families Linheqiqi.

Now that Thorn Green is so popular, aren't you afraid of retribution?

"Oh." Leonard shook his head with a smile. "Brown Green is Thorn Green. My coat of arms is different from that of Thorn Green. Does the long sword Thorn have to be a vassal of Thorn Green? Who is the owner of Thorn Green?" to do it?"

Duke Bruce was stunned, "So..."

He could see that Leonard and his elder brother Graham had a very good relationship, but it would be too much for Graham to give up the position of head of the house, unless Leonard forced it.

Leonard's words basically answered Duke Bruce's threat.

The long sword Thorn established itself, so the strength of Thorn Green will drop a bit, and naturally it will not be like the Black family back then.

"Actually, I really don't want to show my fangs to my former allies right after the war. This will make me feel that I have lost some of my humanity. However, my thinking seems a little too romantic." Lun Nader was still smiling, casually: "Based on the strength I have shown now, even if your other families unite, what can I do?" He lost his smile after he said this, and his eyes were full of fierceness: "Scarlet The name of the lord is not called by me casually, but you put it on me."

Duke Bruce was terrified.

He had the same feeling as Rhett V.

……

These are basically the aftermath of Broken Star City.

He Shen and [-] soldiers were left in Broken Star City, Wei Zhongxian followed Rhett V with [-] soldiers, and Leonard and others returned to Linye City first.

After going back this time, the speed was much faster. This is because during the process of transporting grain and grass back and forth, He Shen directed the slaves to build a relatively simple road by the way.

Road construction is very important for urban development.

Leonard sat on the horse and told his elder brother Graham some basic knowledge of governing the territory—at least the basic knowledge that modern people think of. These have never been told to Graham, and what Graham heard is that he has benefited a lot. shallow.

His father, Horace, was not in good health, so Leonard put him in the carriage. Horace protested, after all, it was the custom now that people who sat in the carriage were generally old, weak, sick and disabled.Leonard raised his eyebrows and said, "We've settled down the world, and we're still worried that some people will talk about such trivial matters?"

These words are too bold, Hollus showed approval, and then said: "Don't talk big in the future."

Leonard: "Okay, okay."

"Especially before it's done," Hollus went on.

Leonard: "Pfft. All right."

My own father is really cruel.

I originally thought that the older generation would be more traditional and feudal, but I didn't expect to play wildly.

Then live up to my father's entrustment, go to the court as soon as possible, and go to the king's side to tell tales.

In this case, Wei Zhongxian may finally regain some of his old feelings.

……

The group stayed in Blazing Sun City for a few days before leaving and returning to Forest Leaf City. The scene of the reunion of mother Klitschens and father Horace was naturally very touching.

That night, Hollus and Leonard had a secret meeting.

Hollus said: "I thought I was going to die at the beginning, but I was rescued anyway. That's good, and it can solve the problem between you and your elder brother by the way."

Leonard couldn't help thinking that his father was really rational from the beginning to the end.After surviving, the first thing he thought of was the family's interests, dealing with his and Graham's affairs.

"Okay, Dad," Leonard said.

Hollus said: "Graham told me the day before yesterday that if Leonard insists on wanting the position of Patriarch, he can give it up. After all, the Patriarch must be the most talented person. And you have proved that You surpassed him."

"En..." Leonard nodded.

It's not surprising that big brother has this kind of thinking. After all, while showing his talents, he also repeatedly uttered words of ambition. Normal people will think that they want the position of Patriarch. If they are abnormal, they will think that they may have to split up. This kind of thing has happened in history.After all, anyone's thinking can hardly escape the era in which they live.

"But let me say that it's a waste of you to be my heir." Horace said, "It's not Graham you surpassed, but me back then."

"Ah." Leonard didn't know what to say for a moment.

He can say all kinds of crazy things to people outside, but he can't talk to his father.

If he surpassed him back then, what he obtained was the Duke position, so his son who surpassed him should naturally obtain a higher position.

"Then there are two paths in front of you." Horace said, "One, create a family named after the sword and thorns, and make yourself a duke."

Leonard nodded: "En."

"The second option." Hollus looked to the northeast, which was the direction of Blazing Sun City, "I think you should also know."

"I know." Leonard said solemnly.

"And which one do you choose?" Hollus asked.

silence.

Candles flickered in the dark.

Leonard asked suddenly: "Father, are you interested in being the Supreme Emperor for a few days?"

The language here doesn’t contain any overbearing words, but Leonard directly coined a word, combined with the previous discussion between the two, it can make people understand the meaning of the word immediately.

Hollus froze for a moment, then smiled: "Of course I'm interested."

The next day, Horace announced that he would officially hand over the title of Patriarch of Briar Green to Graham.

Leonard returned to Little Thorn Castle.

The people of Little Thorn Castle naturally lined up to welcome them.

The steward greeted him: "Master, you are back. It's really great. I just sheared the sheep, and each sheep has sheared three or four catties of wool. Now there are thousands of catties of wool sheared in the territory. I don't know how to deal with it. ah!"

Leonard couldn't help laughing.

Only then did he feel that the war was over.

This is the breath of life blowing against our faces.
