Wizard Lords: Building an Empire starts from the panel

"Captain Gordon, we meet again! This time you won a big victory and at least got a baron. I will have to call you Baron Gordon from now on!"

"Haha, Baron Monterey is joking. I just benefited from you this time. If you hadn't defeated the orcs, I wouldn't have had such a good chance.

Moreover, compared with you, who has repeatedly fought and won with the weak and defeated the strong, I am far behind. Please take care of me on the battlefield in the future! "

"No, no, I will have to rely on you more in the future!"

The two clinked their wine glasses, each took a sip, and then continued their business talk.

"Captain Gordon, I would like to ask you to do two favors today. One is purely a personal matter, and the other is related to official matters."

"Baron Monterey, you tell me, as long as I can help."

"Let's talk about business first. This time I am carrying out a mission under the military order of the Marquis. I need to second a full squadron from the second battalion of your Ice Blade Knights.

The only difference from the last time is that this mission may last for several months or even a year, so the secondment of a squadron will take a long time.

Then I originally brought nearly 800 cavalry. After the deaths in this battle outside Luke's Fortress and the nearly 200 injured and reduced numbers, I now only have about 600 cavalry left.

Although it is a bit presumptuous, I would like to ask if you can allocate more Ice Knights to me. "

Gordon held the wine glass, shook his head seriously, and refused directly.

"Baron Monterey, I have difficulty complying with your request. My second battalion itself is full of thousands of people. It will first respond to the frontline army, and then return to the army to fight the orcs in the field.

Now among my thousand men, there are 178 knights killed in battle, and there are more than 300 brothers who have been injured and reduced in number and cannot go into battle in a short time.

Now I only have more than 500 knights in relatively good condition in this battalion. According to the order of the Marquis, I will break your muscles and bones to give you a full squadron. It is impossible to give you more. "

Li Wei couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when he heard this. In fact, he could also try to send a message to Marquis Ashan through the griffon messenger. As long as Marquis Ashan agreed to this matter, Gordon would have no choice but to do it even if he had any objections. .

But this matter is too small. It is obviously very stupid to disturb Marquis Ashan for such a trivial matter. If Li Wei does this, his evaluation with Marquis Ashan will probably drop a few points.

"I was rude, please forgive me. Commander Gordon, I have a second favor to ask you for. This is a completely private matter.

I heard that the Sunshine Lion you killed performed the Beast God Sacrifice before he died. If you hadn't stepped forward at the critical moment and held off the Sunshine Lion on your own, I'm afraid more Ice Blade Knights would have been robbed. . "

"Haha, Lord Baron is ridiculous. The Sunshine Lion did use the Beast God Sacrifice, but I was not the only one who blocked the Sunshine Lion. My deputy battalion commander Dom and several other capable subordinates also made great efforts. of.

But why are you bringing this up? "

"Commander Gordon, the first time I participated in the siege of the Sunshine Orcs, I also encountered the enemy using the Beast God Sacrifice. If Master Yelena hadn't arrived in time, I might have been dragged into the water by the Sunshine Orcs.

The person who used the Beast God Sacrifice that time was a Sun Sun werewolf. When the opponent was about to be defeated, he took out a Beast God statue, burned it, dug out his own heart, and sacrificed it to the Beast God through the Beast God statue.

The combat power of the Sundial Werewolf surged in its return, and I and several fifth-level masters under Viscount Omei did not stop it. I was literally just a split second away from being killed by him.

After that battle, I picked up a statue of the Beast God from the corpse of the Sundial Werewolf. It was the Beast God statue that was used as a medium for the Beast God sacrifice.

This kind of statue happens to be related to one of my witchcraft research projects. I would like to ask if you have picked up the beast god statue on the lion man. I am willing to buy it from you for two thousand gold coins. "

Last time, Levi bought a statue of the beast god that could be used as an intermediate sacrifice at the Orne House in Green County for one thousand gold coins, as well as eight beast gods that cost two hundred gold coins each and could be used as primary sacrifices. statue.

The fat old man manager of Orne House in Green County said it himself that the price of beast god statues plummeted during the war, but the actual value was definitely higher than this price.

Li Wei believed that if he offered two thousand gold coins, the other party would have no reason to refuse.

Although Battalion Commander Gordon came from a humble background, as a mid-to-high-level officer with strong strength and real power, he knew more or less about things like the Beast God Statue.

Originally, he wanted to keep this statue of the Beast God and pass it on to future generations, so that his victory, which was enough to be knighted, would be passed down forever along with the statue of the Beast God.

But Battalion Commander Gordon himself is not rich, and his daily life is even a little shabby. The money he saved in the past has been used to support his training. And the price Li Wei gave was very kind, so he was moved.

"Baron Monterey, since you are so forthcoming and I am a little short of money, then our deal is settled! Happy cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation!"

Levi didn't expect that this matter would be settled so smoothly. Originally, he was prepared for the other party to raise the price and kill him with a knife.

Levi picked up the wine glass and clinked it with the other party again, "Battle Commander Gordon, I'm looking forward to the fact that after this war is completely over, we can go to the royal capital to be knighted side by side!"

"Thank you for your good words!

Baron Monterey, my second battalion suffered heavy losses this time, especially the fourth battalion. There are only ninety-four knights in good condition, which does not meet your requirement of 100 men.

If you don't mind, I'll let Siegfried take the remaining ninety knights to carry out the mission with you! "

When Levi proposed to buy the statue of the Beast God, Gordon did not sit back and raise the price, because he felt that making friends with the Baron of Monterey, who had unlimited potential, was definitely a good investment. So Gordon simply stayed the course and handed over the entire Fourth Brigade, which had suffered a large reduction in personnel, to Levi's dispatch.

The Fourth Brigade is the most elite brigade of the Second Battalion of the Ice Blade Knights. Gordon led the soldiers and the Fourth Brigade to intercept the two Sundial Orcs who were trying to escape, so the Fourth Brigade suffered the heaviest losses.

The 300-man Fourth Brigade had previously been reduced to less than 230 men due to fighting with the frontline troops. In last night's battle, more than 50 knights were killed again, and about 80 knights were injured. Attrition.

However, despite the fact that there are less than a hundred people left in the Fourth Brigade, the captain Siegfried is a genuine fifth-level senior knight. Only one of the other four fifth-level knights was injured and lost, and one unfortunately died in battle.

It can be said that the mid-to-high-level combat capabilities of these one hundred people are well preserved.

"Captain Gordon, thank you very much for your help! I owe you a big favor this time! If you have any use for me in the future, just ask!"

The favor may not be great, but Levi's words must be beautiful.

"Haha, Baron Monterey, I was just following the transfer order. It was the Marquis who asked you to transfer a full squadron, but it just so happened that there was only one squadron left in the Fourth Brigade.

As for thanking you, there is no need to mention it. Just treat me to a drink after your mission is over. "
