Chapter 39 Hillary's Secret
"Your Excellency the Knight, are you really unwilling to accept the friendship of our Fengniao family?" In Wild Wolf City, Viscount Marvin looked angrily at the opposite Yifei and asked.

"Your Excellency, if your Fengniao family brought you friendship, how could our wild wolf family refuse, but did you bring friendship?" Hearing Marvin's question, Yifei asked while suppressing the anger in his heart. .

"Your Excellency, he is nothing but a pariah!"

"Hehehe, he is not a pariah, he is the family knight of our wild wolf family, I hope your Excellency will not insult the glory of our wild wolf family!"

"Very well, Your Excellency, please remember your choice today!" Viscount Marvin left angrily.

Watching Viscount Marvin leave, Yifei didn't even have the intention to stand up and send him off.Hmph, the friendship of the bullshit Fengniao family actually wanted him to hand over Robinson, he really thought he was someone.

Robinson and the others were the banners he had managed to set up with great difficulty. Just like buying a horse bone with a thousand dollars, the five of them are the bones of a horse. With the existence of the five of them, his power has expanded so fast now.

If he handed Robinson over to the Fengniao family today, the integrity he had built up with great difficulty would collapse in an instant, not to mention whether anyone would come to take refuge in him in the future, even those who had already taken refuge in him would definitely no longer trust him.

Looking at the territory that is booming today, only a fool would choose that ethereal and illusory friendship and cut off his own foundation.

"Dengdeng..."

"My lord, Knight Hilary is out to see you!" At this moment, a guard walked in and said.

"Let him in!"

"Hilary pays homage to the lord!" After a while, Hilary in armor strode in.

"Get up, my knight, what good news did you bring today?" Looking at the beaming Hilary, Yifei asked with a smile.

"My lord, the blood wolves want to be protected by you, my lord." Hearing Yifei's question, Hilary said respectfully.

"Blood wolf clan? My knight, tell me about their situation!" Yifei asked curiously. Over the past few days, various bandits, large and small, have joined the wild wolf clan. He ordered them to be collected, and after counting the number of people, send the statistical book to Wild Wolf City.

But this time, Hilary actually came to Wild Wolf City in person, just to report to him, presumably the blood wolf clan is somewhat different from other bandit groups.

"My lord, the blood wolf clan..." Hearing Yifei's inquiry, Hilary told the situation of the blood wolf clan.

The Moffett family?After listening to Hillary's words, Yifei was thinking in his heart, suddenly he turned his wrist, and there was an extra parchment in his hand.

This parchment was the letter sent by the Violet family last time, which indicated that those families opposed his promotion to the title at the elders meeting.

After reading the contents of the parchment, Yifei couldn't help showing a smile, it turned out to be you, the Malphite family.

"Hillary, do you know how many private troops the Moffitt family has stationed near the Annaba Mountains?"

"Returning to my lord, the Moffitt family has three legions stationed in the Annaba Mountains, with more than 9000 people." Hilary said with some concern.

Although he was very grateful to the lord in front of him, he didn't dare to guarantee that the lord in front of him was willing to offend the Malphite family for their poor lives.

In the empire, the Malphite family is one of the ten top families in the empire, especially in the Sac province in the south of the empire, where the Malphite family is the king.

More than 9000 people?Hearing Hillary's words, Yifei was stunned for a moment, there are too many people!
"Hilary, tell me about the situation of the Malphite family!" Yifei scratched his scalp and asked.

Those who are familiar with him know that once Yifei scratches his head, he is considering the other party's suggestion.But Hilary didn't know this at all. Seeing Yifei's hesitant expression, he couldn't help becoming a little pessimistic. It seemed that the lord in front of him didn't want to offend the Malphite family either.

But he still explained in detail what he knew. As a knight of the family, no matter how selfish he is, he will still put the family first.

The Malphite family, one of the top ten top families in the empire, the secret king of the Sark province, has [-] family knights and hundreds of thousands of family private soldiers... After listening to Hillary's introduction, Yifei compared the two in his heart Now, compared with the Malphite family, his own strength is like an ant and an elephant.

Thinking of this, he thought of the news Luo Qi sent, and couldn't help feeling a little worried that such a big family was actually hostile to him.

"Hilary, do you know about the Violet family?" At this moment, Yifei asked again.

"The Violet family? My lord, are you asking about the Saint Violet family?" Hilary asked suspiciously.

"Yes, that's them."

"My lord, the Saint Violet family is also one of the top ten top families in the empire, just like the Kaqiluo family and the Kailan family... their ancestors were once the top ten paladins under the command of the great Thorn Emperor..." Hillary Popularized the history of the empire for Yifei.

After hearing Hillary's words, Yifei was so frightened that his little liver thumped, I'll go, why do the other ten families except the Violet family have trouble with him, is it that he is so hated?

Something is wrong, and I haven't dealt with them before, so there shouldn't be such a big hatred between the two, there should be some misunderstanding in the middle.Thinking of this, Yifei couldn't help analyzing in his heart, suddenly his eyes lit up, as if he had grasped something, so he hurriedly asked.

"Hillary, what is the relationship between these ten families?"

"They are all a bunch of despicable and shameless moths, just like a bunch of mad dogs, today you bite me, tomorrow I bite you..." Hearing Yifei's question, Hilary said very bitterly.

Looking at Hilary's expression, Yifei suddenly felt very strange, his own knight was a little strange, isn't he just a thief leader, how could he know so much about the nobles of the empire?
"Hilary, can you tell me your background?" Yifei suddenly asked softly.

"My lord, you..." Hearing Yifei's question, Hilary was stunned for a moment, and looked at Yifei without speaking.

"Hehe, if you feel embarrassed, forget it, I'm just curious, why do you, a mercenary captain, know so much about the affairs of the upper echelons of the empire!" Seeing that Hillary didn't speak, Yifei said with a smile.

Hearing Yifei's words, Hilary looked up at Yifei. From his eyes, Hilary saw only curiosity, but no malice.

He hesitated for a while, then suddenly knelt in front of Yifei, and said respectfully: "My lord, please forgive me for deceiving you earlier."

"Hehe, my knights, get up, I don't care about your past. I only know that from that day on, you are already members of our wild wolf family. It would be happier to be able to come here. If you need help from me, the patriarch, I hope you can tell me!" Yifei helped Hillary up and said very sincerely.

Although at first he recruited these thieves with the idea of ​​looking for cannon fodder, but after a period of contact, no one can be ruthless than grass and trees, and he still has some feelings for these loyal subordinates.

Hearing Yifei's words, Hilary's eyes suddenly dimmed, and he talked about his situation in a very low voice.

"... Those shameless guys, they colluded with the orcs, betrayed the information of the army, but blamed our Sirang family for the defeat of the war..."

After listening to Hillary's words, Yifei understood what was going on. In order to collect wealth, the upper-class nobles smuggled weapons to the orc empire to make huge profits, but Hillary's father, who was stationed at the border fortress, was a qualified soldier. Accustomed to this kind of behavior of the enemy.

So a specially arranged war broke out, and the side that was doomed to lose, that is, Hillary's father, was stripped of his title and sent to the gallows because of this failure.

After understanding this point, Yifei suddenly understood why those families were hostile to him. Maybe he was just like Hillary's father, blocking the way of making money for those nobles.

At the same time, he also understood why the orcs stationed so many troops in the Khajid Mountains, but only sent thousands of low-strength militias over.

Yifei didn't know that it was not the case that those families targeted him at the elder meeting, the reason was simple, they just didn't want to look good on the rival Violet family, and in their eyes, Yifei was just an ant , just an ant with a special identity.

As for why the orcs didn't send out an elite army, the reason is simpler, because those barbarians, this is also why the empire didn't build a large military fortress in the Khajid mountain area.

With the barbarians in the Khajid Mountains, the empire didn't have to worry about the orcs sending a large army from the Khajid Mountains to raid the empire.

And the barbarians only live in the Khajid Mountains in the form of tribes without a unified leader. As long as they don't invade their homeland, they rarely invade the empire on a large scale. over them.

In the eyes of the barbarians, the orcs are different, while the human race is just more cunning and hateful.

For all of this, Yifei, who had just come to another world, had no idea at all, but at this time he had made a decision about the blood wolf clan's refuge.
