The Black Throne of Pirates

Chapter 158 The Golden Leslie Family
After the rebels were repelled by the Ice Town garrison led by Bafik, they did not die down. Instead, they continued to send reinforcements. This time, they were truly elite veterans. Those rebel recruits in the army are better equipped with weapons.

For a while, the garrison of Ice and Snow Town, which had just won, had to enter a state of emergency again.

Fortunately, at this time, reinforcements from the army sent by the king also came, but they did not rush to the battlefield of Bingxue Town. Instead, they chose to take the opportunity to attack the rebel base camp, Snow Wind City, whose defense force had been greatly reduced, and wanted to retake it in one fell swoop. Snow Wind City is an important military base.

When the rebels got the news, they had to send a large number of elite troops back to defend.

But the rebels were obviously planning to stare at Buffett this time. Even though most of the elite returned to defense, there were still 3000 elite troops left, staring at Bingxue Town.

Faced with this situation, Buffett could only continue to lead the soldiers to use the city wall to hold on, and at the same time organize manpower to quickly repair the gaps in the city wall and treat the wounded.

"What do you mean, Mr. Masefield, are you going to break the contract?"

In the temporary combat conference room on the city wall, Elizabeth said to Buffett with a livid face.

"Are you out of your mind, woman? Don't look at the current situation. How can the lord have time to participate in some bad deals? Do you want the lord to give up the people in his territory?"

Before Buffetk could answer, Monica, who had been very upset with Elizabeth for a long time, immediately scolded with a straight face.

The other generals present, including Dalton, Cromarimon, and Jess, heard the words and secretly praised Monica, and then stared at Elizabeth who came here to sing the opposite.

Since the battle had just ended and many rebels had been killed, Monica was very murderous at this time, and there was still a strong smell of blood on her body. Elizabeth was scolded by her like this, and was also hostile by the other generals present, and her expression turned pale. Bai took a few steps back in fear.

But she remembered her mission and something very important. She pursed her red lips tightly and stepped forward again. Despite everyone's pressure, she continued to look at Buffett, hoping that Buffett could give her A satisfactory answer.

"Monica, don't be rude to the envoy, let Lord Masefield handle it."

Seeing this, sister Michelia hurriedly pulled her sister Monica to her side and said softly.

Monica intended to scare the arrogant nobleman from the royal city, and let the other party remember whose territory it was here. Seeing that the other party backed away in fear just now, she was satisfied, and did not continue to embarrass the other party with more courtesy.

"I'm sorry, Miss Elizabeth, now that the rebels are staring at one side, I really can't leave for the time being, but please don't worry, I don't intend to breach the contract, I have invited two people who are more suitable than me to participate in the transaction, You will be very satisfied when the time comes."

Buffett patted the table lightly, telling others to stop targeting Elizabeth, and smiled slightly.

These words made Elizabeth's eyes light up, as if she had thought of something good, but then, Buffett's next words made her heart sink to the bottom.

I saw Buffett said with a serious face: "That's it for the time being, let's talk about the next thing, Miss Elizabeth, what's the matter with your own brother? Someone reported him as collaborating with the enemy. Just now When the war started, cooperate with the spies in the city to create chaos."

"This is absolutely slander, Your Excellency Masefield. My father is now assisting His Majesty in handling government affairs. Our family is absolutely loyal to the country. The purpose of my visit this time is to ask you to abide by the agreement. Someone detained my brother James for no reason and made a strong protest, please release my brother James immediately, otherwise, even if your subordinates arrest people for no reason, this behavior is a serious provocation to our King Lesley family."

As soon as the interests of her own brother and family were involved, Elizabeth's attitude immediately became tough again, and she spoke righteously.

"So, if I refuse to release your brother, is your King Leslie family going to end?"

After hearing this, Buffett was silent for a while, and then suddenly smiled strangely at Elizabeth.

The King Lesley family is definitely the oldest aristocratic family in the Magnetic Drum Kingdom. Because members of this family often intermarry with the royal family, they belong to the type of nobles who are relatives of the king. As long as they do not seek rebellion, their status in the Magnetic Drum Kingdom is as stable as Mount Tai. .

Because they are relatives of the king, this family is still a family with a huge back cover, and it is also a very good fiefdom.

King Leslie City, an inland city with a population of 50, has been run by the King Lesley family for nearly 200 years. The private army raised in secret is unpredictable.

Relying on the huge power in the country, the King Lesley family has obtained a considerable share of the domestic drug market. Except for Gilbert and the royal family, this family has the largest share of the drug market, and has accumulated a huge wealth.

After Rhodes Port was destroyed by the rebels, some of the population flowed into Ice and Snow Town, but most of these people were middle- and lower-class people with very little wealth in their hands. The nobles who held most of the wealth in Rhodes Port The rich and the wealthy actually all went to King Lesley.

In addition, most of the underworld forces in Rhodes Port were also secretly taken over by the King Leslie family.

In this way, the King Lesley family not only earned huge wealth, but also greatly enhanced their power.

Since the outbreak of the civil war, although the King Leslie family has always sided with the King's faction, this noble family, like most noble families in the country, has never deployed its military power.

Now the domestic war situation in the Drum Kingdom seems to be on the side of the king's army, the rebels, and Ice and Snow Town, but the King Leslie family, a powerful family that has been hiding behind the scenes, is actually a powerful player in the struggle for power. As long as it is willing, the domestic The situation is about to change dramatically.

Barr and Buffett saw very clearly that in this civil war, the local aristocratic forces that had been hiding behind the scenes had unknowingly become the largest force, but they were not united enough, but once there was one leader, then There will be a terrifying force.

And the King Leslie family, a noble family second only to the royal family in the Drum Kingdom, undoubtedly has the qualifications to become the leader of the noble power.

Now, Herbert, the patriarch of the King Leslie family, has become a regent-like existence, so the King Leslie family is even more qualified to become the leader.

It's just that so far, the King Leslie family still lacks a suitable opportunity, so they have not ended for a long time, and have been sitting on the mountain watching tigers fight.

Elizabeth did not expect that Buffett would say such words at all, but these words appeared in her heart like thunder, shocking her heart, her face turned pale in an instant, and she looked at the front of her with some horror. Buffett.

But she quickly reacted, quickly suppressed the shock in her heart, forced herself to calm down, and replied coldly: "I don't know what you are talking about, Lord Masefield, please release my brother James immediately, He is innocent."

Buffett still didn't give Elizabeth a satisfactory answer. He shook his head and said, "Innocent? That's hard to say."

As soon as he finished speaking, he waved to Monica and the others, signaling them to go out temporarily.

Monica and the others knew the meaning of Buffett's gesture. Although Monica was a little annoyed, she followed her sister and others out of the room very consciously, leaving the two alone.
