Kapitel 144: Chapter 144 Viscount Marvin's Plan
Chapter 144 Viscount Marvin's Plan
Rogna didn't understand why his father suddenly asked him to follow Ronin.
"Father, you are optimistic about Ronin? But he is not particularly special. It was only his followers who managed to defeat Lei Sen."
He expressed his opinion: "Although Ronin is quite capable of getting such a powerful follower to follow him, we don't know what happened between the master and the servant. Maybe Ronin just gave some money to that Redar when he was desperate?"
It was common for a powerful knight to follow an ordinary nobleman because he wanted to repay a favor.
Rogner was surprised by the development of Hillwood Town. He did not expect Roning to achieve this level.
But he has little desire to follow the other party.
Marvin drummed his fingers on the table, thinking quietly.
He had two sons, the eldest son Mas and the second son Rognar.
According to the rules, Mas will inherit the title of the Ironhoof family.
Rognar could either stay at home and help his brother run the business, join a knightly order, or become a squire of a great noble.
Marvin has identified several nobles in the past two years but has not made any official announcements.
Now, Roning has also entered his sight.
He is not optimistic about Roning's personal strength or charm. In fact, he values Roning's identity more—that of the eldest grandson of Wushan Lord.
Ever since Rulans handed over the affairs of Wushan Territory to Wiggins, the Ironhoof Family began to be targeted by the Hyde Family, and their caravans there were repeatedly attacked and harassed without reason.
In the beginning, Marvin wanted to use Wiggins to take the initiative to show goodwill to the other party and maintain business operations there. Still, after repeated setbacks, he knew that the other party had no intention of improving relations with him.
Now that Bretton has obtained the right of inheritance, if Rulans dies someday, Wiggins will inherit the title of Marquis. He cannot rely on this person.
So, by that time, the situation of the Tieti family will be even worse.
The other party can create friction, push the Iron Hoof Family to the forefront, and then encircle and suppress them.
Marvin needs to prepare in advance.
He hoped that Roning would become more powerful so that if there was chaos in Wushan Territory in the future, Roning, as the direct descendant of the Wushan family, could stand up and fight against the enemy.
By then, his Herdsman City could also cheer for Roning in the name of "the despicable Hyde family betrayed the feudal lord and used conspiracy to force the legitimate heir to give up the throne."
In this way, he had a reason to unite other nobles to fight against the Hyde family, thus creating a living space for the Iron Hoof family.
So, when Marvin heard that Lei Sen suffered a loss at the hands of Roning in the savage tribe, he was very happy.
But the current situation is just as Rognar said. Apart from the fact that his subordinates are stronger and his personality is a little different from the legend, there is nothing special about Ronin.
"You're right. I'll think about it again."
After a while, Marvin said, "But you have to understand that the Iron Hoof Family will fall on your brother's shoulders. If you are unwilling to follow those nobles, I must ask your brother to give you a small territory, and there will not be much wealth left for you."
"That's enough, Father."
Rogna said, "I like to travel around and see the world, and so does Kurami. When the time comes, I will help my brother manage the family business."
Marvin nodded.
Rognar is a little stronger. He is a senior knight at the age of only 21. He is also very suitable to be in charge of the development and maintenance of the family's trade routes in the future.
"Okay, come with me to meet Ronin."
Marvin stood up and said, "It's not polite to keep the guests waiting for too long."
Soon, Viscount Marvin strode into the reception room and saw Roning at a glance. He laughed, opened his arms, and gave him a warm hug.
"Haha, long time no see, Luo Ning; you've grown taller since last time!"
Strong and powerful, this was Roning's intuitive feeling when he was hugged. It was hard to believe that the slightly short, black-haired, and flat-headed man before him was a silver-level knight.
"Long time no see, Mr. Viscount. You are still as enthusiastic and powerful as usual!" Roning was very polite.
"Come on, sit, sit."
Marvin gestured enthusiastically, "Calling me 'Mr. Viscount' is too formal. I am your grandfather's apprentice and have a good relationship with your father. You can call me uncle."
He said, "The Marquis' birthday is coming soon. Will you be there this time?"
The last time Wiggins broke his leg, Marvin had invited Roning to go with him, but the latter took a month to go to Wushanbao alone, which he did not expect.
It would be outrageous to postpone this birthday for another month.
"Yes, uncle."
Luo Ning was not polite, "I passed by the Horse Herding City on my way out of the mountains this time, so I thought of coming here to buy some things and also to visit you at the same time."
"Haha, next time, you can just come over directly. There is no need to hand in a visiting card. Ironhoof Castle welcomes you anytime."
Ma Wen said, "My team is about to set off, so we can travel together to Wushan Fort."
"It's my pleasure!"
Luo Ning did not refuse this time. It didn't matter if he went to Wushan Fort too early; there was nothing wrong with going with the Tieti family's convoy.
The atmosphere of the conversation between the two was very harmonious.
Next, Marvin asked about Redar's victory over Leisen.
Luo Ning was unsurprised that the other party had learned about what happened in Huitu Village.
After all, Lei Sen was leading a whole team of knights at the time, with more than a hundred people. After returning to the Sean Territory after being defeated, it would be difficult for him not to leak any news.
He did not hide anything and told everyone about the battle.
"Uncle Marvin, Baron Leisen's knight squad has given me a great shock, so I also want to form a knight squad, but there are not enough war horses and riding horses in the territory."
Ronin stated one purpose of this visit: "So I want to buy some horses from you."
Buying horses was a very common thing. Many nobles and knights would come to the Horse Ranch to buy horses, and Marvin had long been accustomed to it.
But what surprised him was that Roning actually wanted to form a knight team.
"A qualified baron does need to equip a knight squad, but the core of a knight squad is professional knights. Are there so many professional knights in Shanlin Town?"
Rogna was also surprised. Ronin had twelve knights following him.
Ronin smiled and nodded.
"To be honest, I already have twelve professional knights. As for the cavalry, infantry and archers are all selected from the people of the territory and are currently in training."
In fact, he already has sixteen extraordinary people under his command.
"Where did you get so many knights?" Rogna couldn't help asking.
Luo Ning did not hide it: "Four of them are guards brought from Wushan Fort. They were lucky enough to awaken their fighting spirit seeds in the past two months. The rest were conquered by the Savage Tribe."
"They are newly awakened knights. They are a little stronger than ordinary people but much weaker than the standard knight squads of other nobles."
Rogner suddenly realized.
Generally speaking, a junior knight can defeat three elite soldiers simultaneously, and a well-trained knight in a knight squad can deal with two or three ordinary junior knights simultaneously.
Forming a knight team with knights who have just awakened their fighting spirit seeds may only look scary, but there is a question mark about their actual combat effectiveness.
Viscount Marvin smiled and expressed his affirmation of the combat effectiveness of Roning's future team.
"With Rydar and the knight McKen behind you leading the team, your knight squad won't be too weak once it's formed."
He looked at Rogna and ordered, "Take Roning to the stables to choose a warhorse tomorrow. With the relationship between Tieti and Wushan, give Roning a bigger discount. This can be regarded as a gift from me, the elder, to Roning at the end of the year."
"Uncle Marvin, you are so generous!" Luo Ning quickly stood up and bowed to express his gratitude.
The Tieti family was really polite to him.
