"Big bear! Do you mean the big bear with brown fur, a round face, and a cute nose? "Suria's eyes lit up. She kept asking," Can you describe it? Mr. Oliver? "
"Uh, I'm not too sure, Madam Suria." Oliver was actually more afraid of the countess in front of him.
No matter what, Laing was a Holy Grail Knight, a hero and role model of mankind. He was also the Chosen Champion of the Goddess of the Lake, the protector of the kingdom. For someone like Laing who had great fame and status, Oliver knew that there were some things that Laing would not focus on. The count himself had to govern the territory, lead the army, and pray at the Goddess of the Lake from time to time. He had always been busy. As long as he did not do anything big, Laing would not ask too much.
However, Madam Suria was different. This countess was born in the palace and had received good education since she was young. She knew how to deal with merchants too well.
Since she began to infiltrate Laing's forces last year, all the merchants knew that compared to the count, the countess was even more untouchable. At that time, most of the human merchants who often came to Gene Town to do business obediently bowed to Suria. Only a merchant named Antoine thought that he was from Estalia and refused to show respect to the countess.
A few months later, Antoine's business failed. His capital chain was broken, and he committed suicide by jumping into the sea with a huge debt.
These two incidents did not seem to have any connection, at least on the surface.
However, Oliver did not think so. That was why he had always been very respectful to Madam Suria. Merchants could not fight against nobles. It was fine in the Empire. After all, not all nobles in the Empire were on the frontlines. Merchants enjoyed a certain status. In Brittany, knights and nobles were often powerful warriors. Some of them were even Holy Grail Knights. Oliver dared to say that even if his entire escort team attacked together, they would not be a match for Laing alone.
It was all thanks to Laing that he was able to get to where he was today. The only thing he could do was to obey and be loyal. He had already sent his child to Laing's palace, and his future was still bright.
"Suria, it won't be long. Oliver isn't sure about this either. Don't make things difficult for him." Laing said gently as he held Suria's hand, which was wearing a white lace court glove. The Suria kept asking Laing questions. Laing knew that Suria really liked teddy bears. They already had a lot of teddy bear dolls in their bedroom. Among them, Suria's favorite was a brown teddy bear sewn for her by the Lake Fairy. The female knight named it "Laing" and often hugged it to sleep.
Now that she had the chance to see the real bear, it was no wonder that Suria was so excited.
"You'll see it when the time comes."
That day, Leon and Sulia toured many places in the entire town. As for the so-called condolences and warnings, that was secondary. Leon and Sulia's actions together were actually a very strong political signal. That was, the Earl and his wife had a very good relationship, and their marriage was blissful. There was no need for outsiders to make wild guesses. The two of them were husband and wife, sharing weal and woe, and not distinguishing between each other.
Laing and Suria were still talking about this matter after dinner.
"The town has become a little crowded recently. The carriages have slowed down quite a bit." Laing leaned back on the soft sofa. Dark Elf Orica stood behind him.
"Yes, Laing. Your territory has become a little overpopulated." Suria held a teacup and took a sip of black tea. "More people isn't always better. I heard that Devon Town's security hasn't been very good recently."
Count Glamorgan's territory had three towns: Jean Town, Chalon Town, and Devon Town. Jean Town had a team of Grail Knights and many garrisons to maintain security. It also had the Fairy Tower in the lake and Veronica's Twilight Wizard Tower as a deterrent, so security wasn't a big problem. Chalon Town had the Chalon Forest Patrol Camp, so security wasn't much of a problem. Devon Town, on the other hand, had more trouble with security.
Having more people wasn't always better, and having a bigger territory wasn't always better. Laing lowered his head and thought for a moment before continuing, "That's why I told you to attack Muxilon. I need more land."
"Laing, are you going to war again?" Emilia asked worriedly. There was a hint of complaint on her beautiful little face. "It wasn't easy to come back to the territory. Why can't you rest for a while?"
"Emilia wants you to spend more time with her." Suria's sea blue eyes were full of smiles as she deliberately teased.
"Sister Suria!" Emilia's little face suddenly turned red.
"I can't fight even if I want to." Laing knew that his little maid was worried about him. He smiled and said, "Let's not talk about other things. Teresa hasn't recovered from her injuries and is still recuperating. My territory just fought a big battle with the northern barbarians at the beginning of last year, so she needs to rest now. As for attacking Muxilon, it will take a long time to prepare."
Emilia's expression finally looked better. The little maid didn't want to see Laing go to war so often. There was still a shadow in her heart.
"Speaking of which, as Count Glamorgan, you seem to have a title of baron?" Suria thought of something. The female knight continued, "Is it the Spire Palace?"
"The Spire Palace is ruled by Count Orcanson. He's a noble who obeys the vampire count but hasn't been turned into an undead. The Spire Palace is located at the intersection of the Bastogne Duchy, Muxilon Duchy, and Bordero Duchy. To me, it's an enclave." Laing frowned and said in a low voice, "Richard's arrangement is nothing more than hoping that I can fight a big battle with the vampires. Not only is it beneficial for the kingdom, it's also beneficial for him."
"It's not exactly an enclave. The Spire Palace is located on the north side of a sturdy stone bridge that crosses the Grismori River downstream. To the south is the Chalon Forest. In fact, it's not too far away from the settlement we've established in the Chalon Forest. Berchemund, Duke of Bastogne, has no objections to your expansion in the Chalon Forest. He's not very interested in this territory. It's better to give it to him. "Suria continued her analysis." The Spire Palace is heavily guarded by a half-undead, half-human army. It will take a long time to prepare if you want to take it down. Also … Laing, I suggest that even if you take it down, you should make a baron there. Otherwise, you won't be able to handle it. "
"That's how it should be." Clayon nodded. He had listened to Su Liya's words and was indeed planning to confer a title. A person's energy was limited, especially in such a dangerous environment in this world. A feudal system was actually very necessary. If the borders were too long, they would have to guard against too many invasions. No matter how strong a country was, it would be dragged down. Undead, Chaos, Green Skin, and even human civil wars. This world had never stopped fighting.
Time gradually fell into the night. Olica and Emilia served Laing and Suria as they went to bed. The fireplace was lit in the room, and the temperature was comfortable. There was a faint fragrance on the bed. The couple crawled into bed. Seeing Laing holding her in his arms, Suria, who was wearing a red rose velvet nightgown, quickly begged for mercy. "Laing, my husband, can you not come today? Let me rest for a day! "
"Hehehe." Laing hugged his wife and leaned against the pillow. He could not help but feel proud. "Then let's rest for a day."
"Ever since we got married, you've been with me almost every day. Laing, are Teresa and Veronica okay?" Suria leaned against her husband's chest. Her face was full of happiness. She whispered, "I know you value me, but …"
"You're my wife, Suria." Laing reached out and ran his hand through Suria's golden hair. He said gently, "Not only you know, but I also know. I want everyone in my territory to know that you're the countess."
Suria nodded secretly. She remembered what François had taught her. That was, she could give in and allow Laing to have other women around him, but the relationship between the master and the guest, the new and the old could not be reversed.
After getting married for so long, Laing had only doted on her. In fact, it was also to consolidate her position as his wife. The count wanted to tell everyone that his wife was his wife, and the stability of the backyard was the most important. Only when Suria's position was unshakable could she easily suppress those female courtiers and maids.
The husband and wife were affectionate for a while. Suria thought of something. She said worriedly, "Laing, I'm worried about something now."
"What is it?" Laing hugged his wife tightly in his arms.
"Father said that the Skaven Ratmen are a very vengeful race. This time, we destroyed the Skaven Ratmen's plan in Helmgard and almost destroyed a clan. I'm worried that this evil creature will come to your territory for revenge." Suria's graceful and beautiful face was a little uneasy.
"If you want to come, then come." Laing did not seem to care. "I'm not afraid of assassination. You have father's gift, so you're not afraid."
"But what about your army and your people?" The female knight was still a little worried.
"There's my brother." Laing was still smiling. Suria wanted to ask again, but Laing only smiled and did not answer.
… A section break that only smiled and did not answer …
The next morning, Old World, Brittany, Earl of Glamorgan, Redfish Village.
The World Eater Gene Prototype, Angelang, woke up from his dream.
Angelang's eyes were a little blurry. He was sure that he had dreamed of 10,000 years ago, when he had followed Horus to attack Tara. He had a memory of his conversation with St. Giles on the palace wall.
He had advised St. Giles to surrender, but St. Giles had flatly refused. Then the siege of the palace had begun, and the flames of war had covered everything.
The memories of the past were so painful. Every time Angelang dreamed of them, he felt like his heart was being torn apart.
But today was different. When Angelang woke up from the three-meter-long, two-meter-wide iron bed made by the dwarves, a feeling of seeing the light of day came from his mind. Then, it quickly spread throughout his body.
At first, Angelang did not understand what had happened. Then, the response in his body told him why he had such a feeling. The World Eater Gene Prototype happily raised its big hand. "Come!"
The pair of axes, Ripper and Flesh Cutter, which were placed on the wall, flew into Angelang's hands. Holding his treasured axes tightly, Angelang roared, "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
The roar shook the entire stone house. The nearby serfs were even blown away by the blast. Fortunately, Angelang controlled his power well and did not kill anyone.
He had finally recovered! He had returned to his peak power!
Angelang controlled his power and roared for a while. He thought to himself, "Please don't destroy my house." He stopped and hung the axes on his back. He took some water from the bucket and washed up. Then, he opened the door.
The village elder of Redfish Village was standing in front of Angelang's mansion. He respectfully knelt down and trembled in fear. "An … Master Angelang, what happened?"
"Oh, nothing. I just encountered something happy." Angelang smiled. "I am sorry for the trouble. Work hard, work hard, and eat well. Next year will be better."
The village elder thought that the big knight in front of him had woken up the whole village with his roar. Who would dare not work hard?
Angelang's existence was the guardian of the village. Although the big knight had a bad temper, he was very nice to the villagers. Seeing that the village elder had not left, Angelang knew he had something to ask of him. "What is it? Tell me. "
"The village … The villagers saw a giant sheep-headed monster and rotten trees in the depths of the forest nearby. Master Angelang! "the village elder begged humbly." We are worried that … "
"No problem. Leave it to me." Angelang thought to himself.
"Thank you very much!" The village elder knelt down again to show his respect.
Angelang ignored the village elder and the villagers. He quickly walked towards the forest far away from Redfish Village.
As expected, after a few hours, Angelang found traces of rot in the depths of the forest. There was a foul smell, rotten trees, and ground that had melted into a pile of flesh. A giant beast was advancing in the forest, heading straight for Laing's territory.
Even in Anglo's memory, there were very few things that could make him feel so disgusted. Wherever this creature passed, the earth would turn black and corrode. Its body overflowed with terrible evil energy, slowly corroding the surroundings. It had an unbelievably strong body. It looked like a giant standing Sheep-headed Monster, but its face was that of a rat's. On its pair of big horns, it was the symbol of the word "destruction". It showed an extreme fondness for dirty and rotten things.
It was a Chaos Great Demon! It seemed to be a Great Demon of the Skaven Rat People. It was called Scourge Lord or something. Angelang stared at the extremely evil and unnatural creature. He did not feel nervous or heavy. Instead, he felt relaxed and happy.
He was just about to cut something when something came to him.
The Scourge Lord also noticed Angelang. The nightmarish demon had been summoned by the Horned Rat. It was planning countless evil plans and was preparing to completely destroy this land. It was the incarnation of the Horned Rat in the mortal world. It had come to take revenge on Laing.
It would start with the bald man in front of it.
"Big … Big Horned Rat will … will bring judgment to anyone who dares … dares to oppose the Rat God! Yesyes！ Human … human … hairless bald thing, diedie! "The Scourge Lord roared. Its nightmarish gaze moved to Angelang.
Angelang took a pair of axes from his back. He suddenly remembered the dream he had last night.
The World Eater Geno Prototype also released its own battle cry.
"Worthy of the Blood of St. Giles!"
