Before ascending to God, be a good lord

March rose into the sky, and Frederic Lanyuan followed the 30 knights from Galloping Horse Academy through the White Tree City portal, and joined the 30 knights and 100 auxiliary troops waiting outside the lord's castle. Heading towards the Iguana family's manor.

The Iguana family is one of the few remaining major families in the local area. Although one branch participated in the previous rebellion between the Salamander and the Golden Python families, the main branch of the family miraculously escaped Susie Lanyuan's pursuit at that time.

When he was approaching the door of Iguana's house, Frederic saw two familiar figures: the dragon girl Gulea and the female knight Dandelion were talking at the street corner. Beside them, there were already several local knight teams setting up control.

"I didn't expect that Susie actually let their family go last year. This is not her style!" Dragon Girl said while looking at the main building of the manor of Pen Tip Castle.

"Yes," Dandelian said, "I originally wanted to remove them completely, but I didn't expect Princess Yawenni to say hello at that time and say that her family had made contributions to the liberation of White Tree City."

"Oh!"

Ever since Susie Lanyuan won the battle north of Luoyue Lake, Lant asked Dandelian to come to White Tree City.

Her arrival made Peter Maned Wolf, who had been suppressed by Susie, breathe a sigh of relief, and also gave the families who had originally given up the slave trade hope of counterattack.

Although Dandelion is not as strong as Susie, her understanding and handling of small nobles is far better than hers. In just a few days, the Iguana family has been caught and attacked by hundreds of knights. surrounded.

"Principal Gulea? Shall we rush in?" Frederic stepped forward and asked.

"Wait a moment, Albert is still inside." Before Guleiya could speak, a knight next to her spoke.

"Captain Rohr?" Frederic recognized the speaker as Rohr, the chief knight of Marquis Huck Galloping Horse.

"Captain Luo Er? Is he Captain Luo Er?"

The knight students behind Frederic kept poking their heads, trying to get a look at the true face of the regiment leader.

As early as after the opening of the Great Forest Palace, although Rohr still held the title of deputy leader of the Galloping Horse Knights, he no longer participated in the training and combat of the Galloping Horse Knights. He only guarded the Lot and Galloping Horses for the Galloping Horse family. There are two bases in the barony.

The young knights present have all heard of Rolle's name, but not many have actually seen him.

Although the students behind him were all attracted by Rohr's name, Frederic grasped the key point: "You just said that Scholar Albert is at the Iguana's house?"

Rohr nodded and said: "Yes, Albert said that he has some friendship with them and came here specifically to persuade them."

As the beneficiary of the change of ownership in White Tree City, the Iguana family has made great progress in the past six months. The mansion that was originally not ranked high in the city is now comparable to the Viscount's Mansion in White Tree City.

In addition to the expansion of buildings, his family's other strengths have also increased. For example, there are now 3 lizards lurking in the three main courtyards behind the wall.

The lizard soldiers, like the knights outside the wall, are all waiting for the outcome of the negotiation between the Iguana family patriarch Emmanuel Iguana and Albert Galloping Horse in the lord's room.

In the middle of the three courtyards, there is a six-story castle-like building. In the meditation room on the sixth floor, Emmanuel is changing glasses with Albert.

"Congratulations, Albert, your long-cherished wish for so many years has finally come true!" Emmanuel refilled the crystal cup in his hand with new wine, "I remember that when I was in the imperial capital, I thought highly of you. That Julian also liked you, we were so young at that time!"     "Yes! Emmanuel," Albert took the cup from the patriarch of the iguana family in front of him and took a sip of the wine, "I remember , your wish at that time was to guard the southwestern border for the empire and wipe out the lizard tribe that had been entrenched for many years, while my wish was to restore the Benma family and wipe out the barbarian tribes."

"Hahaha," Emmanuel smiled while shedding tears, "Who would have thought that decades later, your Benma family has become the largest barbarian tribe, and our Iguana family has become the largest lizard tribe."

The two old men touched the cups in their hands lightly, and drank up the remaining liquid as they recalled their youth.

After finishing the glass of wine, Albert slowly said to his old classmate: "Emmanuel, there are galloping knights outside your family's castle now. The so-called 3000 slaves are Peter Maned Wolf and Smoke bomb released by Dandelion Red Dragon.

As an old classmate, the only thing I can do is to take you away during the chaos..."

"Albert, this matter has nothing to do with you," Emmanuel put down the cup gently, "Don't forget that my slaves were sold to the Orc Plateau, but some of them were trained for our employer, and I'm not afraid either. Among those so-called knights outside the door, it won’t be long before someone greets your Majesty Lante.”

"Really?" Albert played with the cup in his hand, "Do you really believe that Lord Angzang will come forward to protect you?"

"Why not? Apart from my family, there is no one in White Tree City that the Tower of Purity can mobilize." Emmanuel was very clear about the situation in front of him. "In the past six months, the power of the Galloping Horse family has expanded so much, but the entire Besides you and me, who else can understand the situation in the Galloping Horse Plains and the Northwest Territories? How can they leave you and me alone?"

"Of course, I understand..." Albert looked embarrassed, "But maybe this is why Lant must get rid of your family!"

Albert is very clear about the current situation. Lant wants to pull out all the nails in the Galloping Horse Plains. Even he doesn't know whether he will be expelled from the family once the Iguana family is destroyed.

"Then let's wait and see if the front secretary is willing to fight for the last nail here!"

Although Emmanuel firmly believed that his status as the Palace Chief could guarantee the safety and interests of his family, at dawn, the sound of dragon roars resounded through the city, and three dragon breaths completely dispersed the lizard soldiers in the castle. , hundreds of knights broke through several gates of the castle.

Until he was caught, Emmanuel didn't understand why Yawenni Jinyue, who had protected him, and Angzang Zhuoqin, who promised to protect him, failed to show up again.

As the first ray of sunlight fell on the castle, Rohr, Gulea and Albert came out of the castle one after another.

"Gulea, Emmanuel was once my classmate. I hope you can hand him over to Your Majesty." Albert pleaded to the dragon girl, "The nobles in the south raise slaves and lizards, and they themselves also have some achievements. The acquiescence of the great nobles, just like the current relationship between Rand and the orcs, cannot be completely changed with one cut."

"Don't worry," Gu Leiya nodded, "Lant didn't want to completely clean them up, but he hoped that White Tree City could have new industries and development."

"Emmanuel just trusts those people in the Imperial City too much..."

Among the people present, only Gu Leiya understood that the fundamental reason for the destruction of the Iguana family was that the royal family had placed a large number of elves into Yeqi City. Since her family could influence Lant's most core decisions, how could Iguana do this? Small nobles who are not loyal enough or capable enough can be abandoned.

Of course, there is another Angzang who really wants to keep their family, but the magic mirror communication between Ye Qicheng and Baishu City happened to be out of order last night, so the news from the Dianqian Division could not be transmitted.
