"Dear Lord Marquis, Essendon Luvent would like to say hello to you," Essendon bowed exaggeratedly at ninety degrees, with a smile on his face, "I don't know if I have the honor to be able to say hello to you.
Helps.”
"Essendon," Leo held the file in his hand playfully and asked curiously, "according to my information, you are the cousin of Earl Luwente. How come you come out to do business?"
"My hobbies make the Marquis laugh," Essendon said with a smile. "I don't have as good a talent as my cousin. I have been more interested in trading and buying money since I was a child, so I took my family's caravan out to do business.
You can’t just eat and drink for free at home.”
"That means that with your status, you should be able to decide a lot of things," Leo asked. "I know you need a lot of soap now, but soap is still in short supply, even in Lanxia City.
It can barely be supplied.
It is unrealistic to export to a certain company on a large scale."
Well, although Lanxia City has an idle quota for soap, a citizen who has a household registration in Lanxia City and has reached the city contribution point can have the authority to purchase soap on a regular basis.
This quota is enough for a family of three to last for a long time. In some cities, families with high contribution points can even own a piece of soap and sell it to black market merchants at a high price.
Of course, Leo also turned a blind eye to this. Generally speaking, for the citizens of Lanxia City, soap is not that unattainable existence.
As for businessmen from other places who want to purchase large quantities of soap, it is not that easy to obtain a sufficient amount of soap. One by one, the Eight Immortals crossed the sea and showed their magical powers. They tried various methods but still could not get enough quota.
Take Essendon Luvent, for example, who would not be respectful to anyone else. After all, he has aristocratic blood, a cousin of an earl, and he also controls great wealth. Some small local lords are eager to pay tribute to him.
But in Lanxia City, it has been defeated too many times, and no one is scornful of it, but it is not a happy thing to spend a lot of money and fail to get things done.
"Sir, I don't know that our Luwente family can obtain more quotas. If you are willing, the Luwente family is willing to show the greatest sincerity in exchange for more soap quotas." Essendon said sincerely.
"Very good," Leo nodded, acknowledging Essendon Luwente's attitude, "I have something going on right now that may require the help of your Luwente family.
If it helps me get what I want, soap quotas won't be a problem at all."
"Ah this..." Essendon was stunned, as if he realized something, "Sir, we have never heard of the treasure you are looking for.
If the treasure really belongs to our Luvent family, I believe that the earl will be willing to dedicate it to you."
"Ah?" Leo was stunned for a moment, and then he realized something. Could it be that the other party was talking about keys?
"Ahem..." Leo coughed twice and then said, "Essendon, I think you may have misunderstood.
What I’m talking about is not the treasure I offered a reward for, but something else.”
"Ah?" Essendon was stunned and looked at Leo in surprise.
"Have you ever heard of Quint's warhorse?" Leo asked with a smile.
"Quent's war horse?" Essendon was startled for a moment, frowned, and then seemed to realize something, "Are you talking about the war horse that was bred by the Jatu horse trainer?
I heard that he can travel through more complex terrain, but the Jatu clan doesn't take it seriously. What, are you interested in that?"
"Well, can you get it?" Leo stared at Essendon and asked, "Where is the Quint War Beast?"
"Lord Marquis, in fact, Quint war horses still have many shortcomings. Even Quint war beasts among them have many disadvantages. For us humans, they are not practical at all," Essendon said humbly.
, “If you need it, our Luvente family can help you get a stronger and more suitable horse.
It will definitely allow your knight to show the most terrifying strength."
"No, I want him," Leo waved his hand, "If you can help me get quotas for Quint's war beasts, soaps, and even other products, I can tilt it towards you."
Ah this...
Suddenly, Essendon's breathing became a little faster. He naturally knew what the Marquis meant by these words. It was a hot-selling product, but it was true that they couldn't get much quota even though they tried their best.
Leo actually made such a big commitment to this.
"Of course, if your strength is not enough, I also hope to send out my soldiers to search for him myself," Leo looked at Essendon and said again.
"Don't worry, I will return to the family to discuss this matter with the Earl." Essendon immediately stood up, "Our Essendon family will do our best to help you obtain the Quint War Beast."
Of course, the implication is that Leo is not willing to enter the territory of the Luvent family. Of course, this is understandable. After all, every noble has a great desire to possess his own territory.
The entry of other nobles, especially the teams of big nobles like Leo, into their territory will arouse everyone's rejection. Even if they are really unable to get Quint's horses and allow Leo's team to enter, this is not his Essendon.
Things that can be decided.
This must at least be discussed by the Earl and even the Presbyterian Council.
"I will look forward to good news from you," Leo also stood up, "If the cooperation is successful, further cooperation can be carried out between the two of us. Believe me, friends of the Archimonde family will never suffer."
…
At this time, the atmosphere inside Keller's Fort seemed very exciting.
"More soap quotas?" Earl Luwent looked a little unbelievable, and then read the following text, "Ao Ao, it turns out he wants Quint's war horse?
Strange, why is it Quint’s war horse? Why is the Marquis suddenly interested in this kind of horse?"
"I can't figure it out. Look at the message from Essendon. The Marquis said that if we really can't do anything about it, we hope to pay a certain price and allow his team to enter our territory," a man with a gray beard said
The elder pointed to the letter and said, "It seems that the Marquis obviously attaches great importance to that Quinte horse.
We have also seen that war horse, but it has no effect at all, and even the Quint war beast is not very useful at all."
"Forget it, that's what the Marquis himself wants. We either agree or reject it." An elder said helplessly, "Although the Marquis has great influence around his Marquis territory, he has nothing to do with our Luwente family.
It's quite far apart.
However, it may be difficult for us to get the quota of soap and other things from him. Within the sphere of influence of our Luvent family, soap is still a very important thing, so it is best not to get too involved with the Marquis.
stiff."
"There is one more thing you need to consider," another elder suddenly said, "It is said that the Marquis is very close to the Duke of Alama.
I think you should understand the influence of the Duke of Alama."
Suddenly, there was silence.
The Duke of Alama is really a top figure. This area is also within the influence of the Duke of Alama. If the Duke of Alama puts pressure on them, it will be really difficult for them to withstand it.
Although they had always had a good relationship with the Alama family, it was only good. It was said that the young Marquis had received help from the Duke of Alama when he was in the royal capital.
Now that Marquis Leo has grown up, the Duke of Alama will only value it more. This little friendship between them and the Alama family should be far behind the young Marquis!
"I think we should try to attack the Lannuo Racecourse ourselves first. There should be Quinte's war horses there." Count Luwente also said in a deep voice, "Recently, the Landa tribe of the Jatu tribe and the Philis tribe have already
Go to the south of the prairie.
This is also our most promising moment. We can raid the Lanno Racecourse. If we can occupy it, or get the Quint war horse we want and retreat directly, it will be an excellent choice.
If this plan fails, we will consider the second proposal of the Marquis."
Suddenly, there was a moment of silence, and everyone seemed to be slightly silent. Then waves of approval sounded in the huge conference room.
"Yes, it makes sense." An elder said, "What the patriarch said may be the only way now."
"Indeed, Marquis Leo cannot be easily offended," another elder said, "This is the only way."
The Jatu Prairie has been in turmoil in the past few months, and war smoke has been ignited from time to time. Especially this time, the Lannuo Horse Farm in the northwest of the Jatu Prairie, one of the most numerous horse farms in the entire Jatu tribe, has been attacked.
Raid on the Lion Realm Kingdom.
A shocking battle took place near the racecourse. Countless Jatu wandering riders were harvested by the Luwente family who had already ambushed them. Unfortunately, the Luwente family's plan only attracted a small number of people.
After the news was leaked, more Jatu riders arrived, and the soldiers of the Fierce Lion Realm Kingdom were naturally unable to resist. It was simply wishful thinking to confront the Jatu riders head-on on the prairie.
Even if they are as strong as Noldor, they don't have much chance of winning in the flat land. Perhaps only the rumored demons can make it difficult for the Jatu to resist.
Of course, if the horse farm is captured quickly enough and the defensive battle is carried out, there is still hope. Jatu wandering riders are not good at defending the city, which means that it is not difficult to capture the opponent's horse farm, but Jatu wandering riders are not good at defending the city.
They are also not good at siege.
As long as their defensive equipment is strong enough, even the proposed defense facilities can resist the attacks of many Jatu, and as long as they are fast enough, they can easily take down the horse farm and build defense facilities to carry out the necessary operations.
resistance.
Even if it was a worse outcome, they were able to leave with the Quint war beasts when the other side came to those horse farms just now. Unfortunately, the outcome was even worse, that is, before they had time to attack, many people came after hearing the news.
The Jatu tribe had already arrived not far from them.
Therefore, the Luwente family's team could only retreat sadly.
"Don't worry, they shouldn't have many people guarding them there," Count Luvent's order was passed to the town of Bulma, where many soldiers were on standby, preparing for the second wave of raids.
But everyone was extremely disappointed, because the Jatu didn't seem to have any intention of leaving, so they stayed there until half a month passed.
"Forget it, let's leave it at that," Count Luwente said with a hint of helplessness, "Those Jatu seem to be getting smarter and smarter, and they probably have no plans to leave.
It seems that we can only ask Marquis Leo for help."
"Lord Viscount, but..." The elder on one side was obviously very troubled.
"Stop talking, I've thought about it carefully." Count Luvent waved his hand, "If we don't accept Marquis Leo's proposal, the Nite family nearby may also accept it.
By then, they will have established a closer relationship with the Marquis and their strength will increase greatly, which is definitely not a good thing for us."
"Ah this..." Sure enough, the elder's expression also changed, as if he had realized something.
"That's all we can do," many elders also nodded and said.
…
"Well, it seems they failed in the end," Leo couldn't help but smile helplessly. To be fair, he didn't want to choose this path.
Count Luvent was obviously unwilling to make this choice, and neither did he. This meant spending a lot of manpower and material resources to go to the town of Bulma and then fight an arduous battle.
They don't have much experience facing Jatu, so the cost will be very high, and the Luvent family and the Archimonde family's territories are far away from each other, so they can't deepen their influence there much. Besides, it still belongs to the Duke of Alama.
territory.
Under such circumstances, Leo naturally didn't have much motivation to send people there. He sincerely hoped that the Luwente family would be brave enough to get the Quinte War Beast. When the time came, he would be willing to pay a considerable amount of dinars and part of the soap quota.
In exchange for this.
You can even let the Luvent family build a horse farm and become a supply ally for your own horses. Everything looks wonderful.
"Sir, then we must use the power of the Marquis to go to Bulma Town." Rebella frowned slightly, but then shook her head and said, "Now the dwarves are quite sincere in joining us.
The new giant clan is small in number, so Lanxia City is safe enough and does not require too many troops to suppress it. You can bring more people there, after all, it is Jatu."
Obviously, everyone is a little afraid of the opponent in this battle. Jatu's reputation is too great. Fighting in their territory is really risky, not to mention that they have no experience facing Jatu.
