"Very well, I'll come back tomorrow at noon"
Nangong Long rode his horse close to Ailian and Lim, and then the three of them left together, followed by five hundred death knights, and the rest stayed behind to collect the corpses. Adjutant No. [-] had already reached the enemy camp they occupied before through the portal.
"Father, is it okay?"
Aojie naturally understood what his son was referring to.
"Isn't it very clear from what you just saw above? If the other party really wants to attack the city, even if we don't let them camp below the city, it won't take long for them to capture the city."
Gerald had nothing to say. The opponent's soldiers had combat power that matched their tall stature. Jianulong's soldiers were basically killed in one move, otherwise the battle would not have ended so quickly.
At noon the next day, Nangong Long and his party came to Beluv again.
"Be confident, show off your aura as a princess, don't worry, I will take care of everything," Nangong Long who was standing beside Leiqi said in a low voice.
"Um"
This time Aojie came to greet them in person. Seeing Leiqi's appearance, the old Viscount's first reaction was that His Majesty the King had a hidden illegitimate daughter.
Ignoring this question for now, the old Viscount led them to the mansion.
Lieutenant No. [-], who stayed outside the city, commanded the death knights to build a camp under the city.
Yesterday was a rush march without any supplies, so I spent the night in the camp we snatched from.
When they came to the living room, the maid immediately brought a glass of wine to everyone present.
First of all, the old Viscount once again expressed his gratitude.
Then, Leiqi explained her situation to Aojie and others.
After listening, Aojie and the others were silent. In terms of Laiqi's appearance, she was indeed very similar to the previous prince, but it is not impossible to find someone to impersonate.
However, the other party also mentioned Luticia, how to prove her royal status, that self-confidence does not seem to be pretending.
Aojie and Ritter looked at each other, and temporarily decided to choose to believe Leiqi's words.
"Thank you Her Majesty the Princess for lending a helping hand"
"I just did what I should do, and there is no such thing as Earl Nangong..."
Nangong Long blinked at Lei Qi a few times, and Lei Qi, who understood what he meant, swallowed back the words that came to her lips, and then put on a serious expression.
"It is my duty as a princess to protect the nobles who are loyal to the kingdom. Canulon and Tai Nadi are reckless, invading other people's territories, destroying the peace of Brunu, and intending to murder me. I decided to crusade against the two traitors, I hope You are on my side"
"Of course, we have all sworn allegiance to the kingdom and His Majesty the King, otherwise we would not have rejected Duke Canulon's solicitation," Ritter replied half-truthfully.
"It's true that you rejected Jianulong, but whether the word solicitation is inappropriate, I think slavery is more appropriate."
At this time, putting gold on his face is really trying to save face.
When Nangong Long pointed it out so bluntly, Ritter's expression became very embarrassed, but fortunately, Ao Jie made a sound for him.
"Count, the scouts reported earlier that the enemy had [-] soldiers, and the whereabouts of [-] were unknown. I don't know if the Earl encountered them."
At that time, Aojie and the others were all desperate when they got the news. Fortunately, the whole army did not attack them later, otherwise they would have finished.
"We have already fought and killed them all, and Greast is also dead."

"..."
The atmosphere suddenly fell into silence, probably because they did not expect that Marquis, who liked to calculate people's hearts and was threatening them a few days ago, died so easily.
Of course, they were also shocked when Nangong Long repelled the five thousand troops.
"It must be the credit of Master Zhan Ji..." Gerald exaggeratedly praised Ai Lian, but ignored Nangong Long the whole time.
Ailian's face obviously became displeased, and Lim's face was also tense, she was afraid that she could not help scolding others once she relaxed.
"Has Her Royal Highness formed an alliance with Lord Zhan Ji? And those tall warriors who repelled the enemy soldiers are Lord Zhan Ji's army." Gerald turned to look at Lei Qi and said.
.........
After all, Gerald didn't believe that Nangong Long could control so many troops, let alone be so powerful.
Even though Nangong Long was an earl, his territory was too remote, and he could not recruit as many soldiers as the Viscount Ojie, which was why Gerald was suspicious.
"I wasn't the main character today, so I didn't plan to say anything, but don't overdo it. That's not my army. They have only one commander, and that's Earl Nangong." .
As if to prove Ellen's words, Reki immediately said:
"I didn't form an alliance with Jistat's war concubine, and the person who supported me was the Earl of Nangong. I don't want to hear it a second time."
In the last sentence, Leiqi obviously emphasized her tone, exuding the aura of a superior person.
"Sorry" Gerald bent down to apologize to Leiqi, Ailian and Nangong Long.
"I'm really sorry, my son said too much," Viscount Ojie said apologetically.
"Is this kind of temptation meaningful? No matter who this soldier belongs to, and what he really wants to do, can you stop it with your strength." Without ridicule or sarcasm, Nangong Long just explained the facts in a calm tone.
"Fix the camp of the Canulong army by yourself, and return the supplies they robbed to the villagers."
"Okay, I understand" Viscount Aojie replied, he has never been ashamed to ask for those supplies, after all, they are other people's spoils of war, now he doesn't have to worry about it.
Chapter 39 Why don't you grab it?
At night, the Viscount's mansion, Lei Qi and Joan's room.
Originally, Aojie planned to arrange a separate room for the princess, but Leiqi refused. She wanted to have an acquaintance to accompany her in an unfamiliar environment.
"Obviously I didn't do anything, but saving the neutral faction is on my head..." Leiqi confided her heart to Joan of Arc.
"The earl wants to establish prestige for you and make them appreciate you instead of him." Joan of Arc's complexion improved a lot after a few days of recuperation.
"I know this, but I can't give him anything. I tried to test him before, and he still helps me like this." Leiqi turned her body to look at Joan with a guilt-like expression. The two were sleeping on the same bed. .
"What do you want to give to the earl? Let His Highness consider this issue when he returns to the palace. Then, try your best to seek rewards from His Majesty the king for the earl."
"Eh! "Nine two three"?" Lei Qi looked at Jeanne unexpectedly.
"What's the matter, Your Highness?"
"Ah? It's okay. I'm just a little surprised that Joan of Arc would say that. You were very wary of Nangong Qing before."
Joan of Arc's cheeks were stained with a blush, and said with some embarrassment:
"I haven't seen the Earl think too much before. I changed my mind after getting along with him these few days. If he really had a crooked mind, he wouldn't ask His Highness to win over the neutral faction."
It was rare to see Joan shy, and Leiqi couldn't help but joked.
"I've decided on a reward for Nangong Qing, so I'll reward him with Joan of Arc, anyway, you've been seen too."
"It's agreed not to mention this matter, Your Highness." Joan of Arc looked at Lei Qi with a flushed face, and her speech became stammering.
Ellen and Lim in the next room were also chatting.
"I hate that guy named Gerald," Ailian muttered dissatisfied.
"Me too"
The next day, Nangong Long left Berufer with the death knight to find another thousand soldiers of the Canulon army, while Ailian and the others stayed in Berufer.
Three days later, Nangong Long returned to Beluv, and when she saw him back, Lei Qi smiled as if she had let go of a big stone in her heart, Lei Qi was always a little uneasy when he was not there.
Jianulong's army ran quite far, and they all went to other territories, and they swept up the villages without attacking the city.
The commander of the enemy army originally planned to let them explore the road and rob supplies first, and then join them after capturing Beruf and attack the next town.
In the end, there was an accident. Nangong Long, who was besieged by five thousand troops, was safe and sound, and even ran over to attack them.
It can be considered that Viscount Ojie and the others were lucky. The thousand soldiers who were sent out went to the territory of non-allies, so the five hundred soldiers stationed on the border of the allies did not lose.
Those in charge of defending the city suffered a lot. 52 people died and 23 were seriously injured.
Viscount Aojie didn't do nothing in the past three days, and the house near the city wall had already begun to be rebuilt.
People were also sent to burnt villages to appease the people and organize reconstruction efforts.Geral was responsible for returning the looted materials to the villagers, and he was very good at calculating materials.
The second day after Nangong Long came back, a meeting was held. Before he left, he asked Viscount Aojie to summon the independent faction. It has been four days now, and everyone who can arrive has arrived, and those who can't arrive have no plan to come at all.
The neutral faction is basically concentrated near Tritor, and I really think that four days are enough to come here.
The reason for the concentration is very simple. This area is where the power of the two dukes is weak.
There was a long table in the center of the hall, Lei Qi sat at the main seat, and the rest of the people sat on both sides of the long table, and on the left and right sides closest to Lei Qi sat Nan Gonglong and Viscount Ojie respectively.
After listening to Viscount Ojie's narration, the nobles present were divided into three factions. Some did not believe it, some chose to support it, and the rest remained silent, neither supporting nor opposing it.
Looking at the nobles with different reactions, Leiqi's expression did not change at all, she just looked at them quietly.
"If you don't want to support me, please leave here, and if you still choose to be neutral, please leave."
"You can go, but Earl Nangong please return us the supplies we took back from Duke Jianulong." A man in his 30s said, who was the one who had the cheek to ask Aojie to ask Nangonglong for help.
Hearing what he said, there were two or three people who looked in agreement.
"Earl Nangong has returned to the robbed villagers." Although he was unhappy with his words, Viscount Aojie still explained.
"Why should I believe you"
"You can go back and ask yourself..."
"Don't pay attention to this kind of person, he just wants to steal supplies, and has no intention of returning them to the villagers." Nangong Long interrupted Viscount Aojie. 0
"Why do you say that? I also said that you were greedy." The man said righteously without knowing where he came from.
"You guys like to settle accounts, don't you? Then we will do the calculations carefully. If you don't support Her Royal Highness, we have no responsibility to protect you. This time, Jianulong clearly wanted to destroy you, but I repelled them. Carefully Calculate how much you should give me?" Nangong Long said in a mocking tone.
"It's what you want, why do we need money, and isn't she a princess, shouldn't it be protecting the nobles?" The man retorted, but his voice was much lower than before, and several people echoed him in low voices.
"It's time to spend gold coins. You admit that Her Highness Leiqi is a princess, but it's too late. I don't want much, just all your savings. How can I save your territory and save your whole family by the way? It's not expensive, isn't it?" Nangong Long glanced at all the nobles present and said playfully.
"Why don't you go grab it?"
Hearing Nangong Long's words, those nobles who chose not to support and neutral all became excited.
"This is the reward I deserve. How can it be said to be a robbery? I will give you three days to send the money. I saw the army outside the city. If you dare not send it or the amount of 1.6 is wrong, my army will go get it in person , I am not interested in plundering civilians, so you are the only ones who can rest assured. Don’t try to increase taxes to make up for your own losses. It is a serious crime for a lord to increase taxes without permission. Don’t blame me for not reminding you,” Nangong Long said in a cold tone.
"I choose to support Her Majesty the Princess, let's go to the head office now."
"Me too……"
"I also support..."
