Chapter 103： new territory

Chapter 103 New territory

After taking over Gray Grid from Sveta, Leiter led the way ahead, preparing to pick the newly sealed territory.

From afternoon to sunset to starry sky.

The two conducted a four-hour field trip.

Although the location of the fief has been fully thought out in advance, Leiter is still quite serious on the surface, as if carefully weighing the pros and cons, leading Deputy Commander Ambiru to carefully select in various directions in Young Eagle Town.

Even the bare plains are pretending to be tangled. It didn't reveal at all, his eagerness for the Huowen Mine site.

Ambiru thought that Leiter was troubled by the lack of obvious resource advantages around Young Eagle Town, so he comforted him while accompanying him.

He knew in his heart that this southwest border was also a defense line of the kingdom, but the canyon defense line was the front line. If something unexpected happens, the defense line of the canyon is breached, and the nobles of the entire southwest border will go up.

The nobles are the nobles of the Jinlun Kingdom. While enjoying the rights and treatment far beyond the common people, they also have to undertake corresponding obligations—guarding the country is the most basic one.

After the inspection, the area finally selected by LTECH is:

In the original territory of Young Eagle Town, it extended forty kilometers westward and southward, and expanded to a certain area in the southwest direction, giving up the expansion to the east and north.

If the original territory is centered on Young Eagle Town, it looks like a circle as a whole.

The scope of the new territory can be approximated as a wide fan that connects to form a curved arc from west to south.

This is Leiter's plan after careful consideration.

From the geographical point of view, the surrounding areas are mostly woodlands and plains. Except for Sun Lake and Huowen Mine, there are no resource points with high value.

The thorny forest occupies more than ten kilometers of forest land. In the future, some under-forest economy can be developed, and a large village gathering place can be established nearby.

Even, it can also be used as a practical training ground for rangers and scouts.

The evening wind passes through the thorn forest, sweeping away the fallen leaves on the branches.

As a fifth-level land knight, Abiru exuded an invisible and powerful aura, so that the entire forest was silent except for the sound of the wind and the shaking of branches and leaves, and no other birds, beasts, and mosquitoes.

He held a map and a quill in his hand, concentrating on circles on the map.

A few minutes later, Abiru showed the map in front of Lei Te: "Sir Lei Te, the area of ​​the new territory has been mapped out, please confirm it."

"Thanks for your hard work, Mr. Abiru."

Leite's eyes were fixed, and it could be seen that Abiru showed a fairly well-drawn map, but because other areas were covered, only the land around Young Eagle Town was revealed, and more information could not be obtained.

According to the lines on the map and the lake marks, Leiter can see Sun Lake on the west side of Young Eagle Town.

Knowing the fixed distance of ten kilometers between the two places, and according to the scale, it is quickly judged that the area of ​​the new territory outlined by Abiru on the map is not far from the area that Leiter just selected.

Leiter was not surprised at Abiru's excellent drawing ability. After all, he is the deputy commander of the canyon defense line. Looking at the overall situation, drawing ability is only a basic ability.

"Lord Ambiru, this is the area I selected, it's accurate!" Leiter nodded slowly, and at the same time he thought in his heart: "Could it be possible for Ruilai to draw an accurate map for the new territory someday? ? With the expansion of the territory, having an accurate and detailed map can also save a lot of trouble in terms of macro planning..."

"I will upload this land to the palace." Abiru put away the map and reminded: "Sir Leiter, if you have any ideas about changing, please mention it now. You also know the rules. After today, you will can't go back"

"Master Abiru, let's make this decision, I won't go back on my word!"

…

The two returned to the Greystone Avenue in front of the manor.

"It's getting late, Mr. Ambiru and Earl Nero, why don't you come to Deep Rock Castle to have a dinner?" Leiter politely extended the invitation.

Ambiru shook his head, "Sir Leiter, the battle on the front line is tense, so I won't waste time on irrelevant matters.

If...the orcs in the defense line of the canyon die one day, maybe I will relax! "

Leite raised his brows. If you want to say this, it seems that Abiru has rarely been free in his life...

The canyon line of defense serves as a buffer zone. Whoever crosses this line to attack will intensify the consumption of troops and material resources.

With continuous supplies, do you want to kill all the orcs in the defense line of the canyon?

Unless the entire tribe of orcs perish, or their vitality is seriously injured...

Earl Nero also shrugged his shoulders, "Sir Leiter, it took too much time to deliver news to the Royal City a while ago. I have been away from Twilight City for a long time, and I need to go back to deal with business as soon as possible."

The implication is that she will not be able to attend the dinner party.

Regarding this, Leiter felt relieved in his heart. In the past, he was the largest in the territory, said what he said, and enjoyed everyone's admiration.

As for the two honored guests in front of him, he needs to serve them carefully.

Compared with external dinners, he prefers family dinners and enjoys the atmosphere.

But still sighed on the surface, and said: "It's a pity that I couldn't have dinner with the two adults."

"Sir Leiter, don't say that, we may meet again in the future." Abiru smiled mysteriously: "Before I leave, I want to give you a gift."

Count Nero heard this, and looked at Abiru in surprise, as if wondering why he cared so much about Leiter.

Leite was also surprised, watching Abiru return to the carriage, took out a scarlet wine bottle and walked back in front of him.

"Blood Moon Werewolf Beast Wine!" The familiar name blurted out, Leiter stared at the wine bottle in Abiru's hand, with a black wolf head printed on the bottle neck, blinked, and fell into reminiscence.

Beast wine is not an expensive tonic, it is just an ordinary drink mixed with the blood of orcs.

On the front line of the battlefield, animal wine has a special meaning.

Generally, it is the end of a certain war with the orcs, and it is drunk when celebrating.

Different beastman's beast wines have different tastes, and the night owl man's beast wine tastes cool. The tauren's beast wine has a thick taste. And the beast wine of the Blood Moon Werewolf is boiling hot!

When Leiter was still on the defense line of the canyon, he drank countless beast wines.

But more than a year after retiring, the animal wine has not drunk a drop.

The animal wine that Abiru handed over immediately pulled Leiter's thoughts back to the front line.

Every time you win, the thrill of the rest of your life after the war, as well as the sense of gratitude and joy from the critical moment of life and death, come to mind instantly.

He exhaled sighingly, took the beast wine from the Blood Moon Werewolf, and said solemnly: "Lord Ambiru, I am very grateful for this great gift!"

Holding the cold wine bottle, Leiter said with emotion: "I haven't drank it since the time I assisted the Blood Moon Werewolf more than ten years ago!"

Ambiru smiled slightly. He was very satisfied with Leiter's reaction when he saw the beast wine, indicating that he had not forgotten the years on the battlefield. He said with a bold smile:

"Haha, for us, beast wine is our best gift!"

Leite held up the wine bottle, a burst of pride surged, "That's right, the best gift!"

Under the streetlight in front of the manor, the three had a brief chat.

Soon, Abiru bid farewell to Leiter without delay, and left with the team.

Earl Nilo also took this opportunity to bid farewell, "Sir Leiter, I wish your territory every success, see you next time!"

"My lord, see you next time!" Rhett waved to Earl Nilo, who was already on his horse.

Until the two were done, Leiter was still standing under the light.

He looked down at his own shadow, and said to himself silently: "I have finally been promoted to Viscount. But... Viscount is definitely not my end!"

Rett withdrew his gaze and walked towards the manor.

Sveta was waiting behind the gate of the manor, wearing a gray coat with cotton, with a respectful expression.

"Master, you are back, I will send your horse back to the farm!" Sveta took the reins from Leiter.

"Thank you, Sveta."

"No hard work, master. This is nothing compared to your elimination of an evil alchemy organization!"

Rett smiled.

Sveta thought for a while, and then asked tentatively: "Master, is this news concealed for you?"

Leite shook his head, thinking that of course there was no need to hide it, and he also counted on the spread of this news to attract more people to join his territory.

"It's not necessary at all, even... you can spread this news as much as possible in the future to let more people know about it!"

Sveta leaned slightly: "Understood, master!"

Walking into Deep Rock Castle, Leiter saw Tucker, Rilai, Thales, Vanessa, and Kelina standing in a row, and congratulated them all:

"Congratulations, Father, for being promoted to Viscount!"

Although Leiter sensed the situation inside the door before entering the door, he still smiled happily. He walked up and touched everyone's heads, and said with a smile: "You have a heart."

The excitement on Ruilai's face didn't fade away, he walked to the dining table, filled up the red wine that had been awake for an hour, and said at the same time: "I knew that Father, who has done such a great thing, is very likely to be promoted to Viscount , Sure enough, I guessed it right!"

Thales' eyes were bright, and he asked curiously, "Father, after you became a viscount, did you get a new fief?"

"That's right, the new fief is mainly in the west and south of Young Eagle Town, as well as the southwest area."

"Didn't it mean that the forest of thorns is also included?" Rylai asked with his heart moving.

"Not only does it include the Thorn Forest, it's also our territory ten kilometers to the west!"

"Wow~"

Hearing that the territory of Young Eagle Town has expanded so much at once, little stars appeared in the eyes of Vanessa and Kelina.

Including the maid not far away, they are all staring.

They have a deep sense of belonging to Deep Rock Castle, and the lord's power has expanded, and they are happy for no reason.

Not long after, Malu Chef came out of the kitchen pushing a small white iron trolley, and brought steaming dishes from the trolley to the dining table.

Usually, the cook Maru would personally serve the dishes, but today, at the request of Sveta, the dinner was extraordinarily rich, and it was too troublesome to serve one by one, so I had to use a small cart.

Braised rabbit meat, pan-fried steak, deep-fried chicken balls, crispy lamb shanks, spicy crayfish, sweet orange mashed potatoes, cod fillets, braised sturgeon, nut pie, flower cake...

A total of more than ten dishes are placed on the table mountain, which looks extraordinarily rich.

Tak took a sip of the aroma, closed his eyes in enjoyment, and the corners of his mouth seemed to be drooling—he was so hungry that he couldn't wait any longer!

Leite stood in front of the main seat, holding a glass of red wine.

Needless to say, the others also picked up their red wine glasses and stood up.

"Today is a day worth celebrating. We... have taken an important step." Leiter said with a smile, his eyes swept over everyone's faces, and they all had the same smile as him.

He cleared his throat and continued: "Promotion to viscount is just the beginning, which means that the young eagle flies to the sky.

In the future, there are more gains and challenges waiting for us!

May we work together to overcome difficulties and create a better future! "

The voice fell, and everyone cheered!

Clink glasses!

Ding!

The dinner began, and everyone enjoyed the food. Some of the dishes in the castle are local traditions, and some are made by Leiter according to his previous life's preferences and guided by Maru's cook.

Although some dishes are a little different from regular dishes, they don't look tall enough.

But Lei Te pays more attention to the inner taste. After all, he has become a lord, and he can't even do food freedom. Isn't it too aggrieved.

Rett picked up a piece of chicken meatballs, made of chicken breast, chopped and kneaded into meatballs, steamed, mixed with various seasonings, fried, and finally sprinkled with a layer of dry ingredients, not to mention how delicious it is.

"Oh, Tucker, eat slowly." Leiter glared, and found that Tucker actually picked up three meatballs with one chopstick. This is a skill that only foodies can learn, and he can't learn it!

Tuck smiled, licked his lips and said, "Chicken **** are delicious! But... Father, when can we have aquatic monsters!"

Thales rolled his eyes after hearing this, "Brother, at least wait for the aquatic monsters to breed for a few rounds before they can be eaten."

Vanessa also felt speechless, and kicked Tucker under the table.

Rett smiled helplessly, turned his gaze to Ruilai, and asked casually: "Ruilai, how is alchemy going? Is there any initial progress?"

"Well, I'm still in the process of memorizing the alchemy technique, the characteristics of the magic plant, as well as the operation process, the types of alchemy instruments, and the functions of various instruments.

I didn’t have enough time a while ago, and I haven’t started to practice. I plan to start to try the actual operation this month. "

"Well, true knowledge comes from practice, come on." Leiter encouraged.

Thales' eyes lit up instantly when he heard about alchemy-related topics.

But he has not yet broken through the apprentice magician, unable to participate in the topic, so he can only suppress the excitement in his heart, and secretly decides to go back to the room to meditate after the dinner party is over.

The dinner was a joyous and celebratory atmosphere.

In order to make the development of the fire pattern mine more natural, Leiter started a three-day territory inspection plan.

On the first day, Leiter did not go to the burial site of the Fire Pattern Mine, otherwise it would be too obvious.

Instead, in the morning, I brought Franno and Laurine to the Thorn Forest.

Two-in-one, long-awaited
