Dillaro hasn\'t figured out Manda\'s identity yet. Manda preempted and claimed to dismiss him.

Of course, this is only a threat. The post of this era can not be removed in a word. Although dilaro is a vassal of sheltai, green smoke city is his family\'s territory. Even if sheltai wants to deprive him of his territory, he must weave some charges, obtain the permission of the king\'s capital, and may even trigger a war.

Of course, Manda understood the truth. He just wanted to give dillaro a blow.

Dillaro was also interesting. He didn\'t rush to explain, let alone provoke a dispute. Instead, he invited Manda to the castle and patiently explained between wine and food.

It seems that dillaro is still a sensible man. After eating and drinking enough, Manda began to convey the important instructions of Archduke sheltai to dillaro.

"There are difficulties, and problems exist objectively, but this is not the reason for your laziness. Can\'t you make iron without ore? Can\'t you overcome this problem with your loyalty and love to the Archduke?"

Lioness almost laughed. She could make iron with respect? How much do they have to love?

Roma didn\'t laugh. She listened too much. Since she came to Qingyang City, she has covered her face with the helmet mask. She is a famous general and doesn\'t want others to recognize her identity.

After talking about gildan, Manda began to get serious.

"The ore still needs to be bought. In the final analysis, it is only a misunderstanding between the Archduke and Marquis Moritz. The Archduke asked me to be the chief administrative officer in order to eliminate misunderstandings, resolve contradictions and restore previous friendship and trust."

Dillaro saluted, "Your Majesty is wise!"

"Now the Archduke is expanding his territory and has a great demand for weapons. Let me write a letter to Marquis Moritz and ask him to continue to sell ore to us. The price may be a little higher, but you can exchange grain."

Moritz was stunned: "you said to exchange grain for iron ore? But Dagong banned the sale of grain to the southwest."

Manda said with a smile: "the times have changed. Archduke shertai is about to become the master of the southwest. Marquis Moritz and Marquis Almon have become the vassals of the Archduke. I have become the courtiers of the Archduke. They are all a family. The estrangement between them has long been eliminated."

"Yes," dillaro agreed very much and turned to his face, "but you know, there is not much food in Qingyang City."

"Well, I\'ll allocate some from Miaoyin City, but within two months, you have to smelt 300000 pounds of good iron for Duke and send it to parrot city."

"300000 pounds?" dillaro rubbed his hands. "Green smoke city is not so craftsman."

"Then recruit more craftsmen, and I will give you more food so that you won\'t suffer."

They looked at each other and smiled, with tacit understanding and greed in their eyes.

That night, Manda lived in Qingyan city. Seeing that Manda was surrounded by such a beautiful girl as lion girl, dillaro didn\'t make any special arrangements.

The lioness had been calculating an account during the day, but she didn\'t make it clear at night: "Hermes\'s creed is fair trade. Is this trade fair during the day?"

Manda looked at the lion girl with a serious look: "don\'t you think it\'s unfair?"

"Is it fair that you got 300000 pounds of good iron for nothing?"

Manda shook her head and said, "what is white? I traded these iron for ore."

"What about the cost of hiring craftsmen?"

"I paid with food."

"But the grain finally belongs to you!"

"That\'s because I provided iron ore."

"But, but the iron ore has become iron, and the iron belongs to you!"

Manda said in a righteous way: "I traded ore and grain for iron. Isn\'t this a fair deal? Did dillaro suffer a loss?"

The lioness scratched her head and said, "he didn\'t suffer a loss, but you took a big advantage. Someone must suffer a loss?"

Manda didn\'t answer her question. He liked to watch the lion girl struggling in the ocean of questions, but he couldn\'t find the answer.

He opened the Styx island. At present, he is most concerned about not only taking over the land due south, but also the battle in Qingshi town. Judging from Stanley\'s previous war reports, the war situation is somewhat unfavorable.

Stanley can\'t stand it. It\'s not improper tactics or bad luck, but the military strength between the two sides is too wide.

Stanley gathered five thousand troops to defend the city. NARS continued to increase reinforcements. The army attacking the city has exceeded 20000.

No wonder some people say that the strength of drawn Marquis NARS is no less than that of Archduke. Bluestone city was not a solid city, and the enemy still has four times the strength. According to Stanley\'s description in his letter, he can support at most half a month.

The lioness suggested, "let the poet support him. It\'s best to send Roma together. Now the due south is basically in your hands. There\'s no need to keep too many troops in brittle rock mountain. Let ziegesse support Stanley."

Manda shook her head: "NARS wanted to attack Qingshi city first, take it as a stronghold, and then occupy the whole southwest. He fought early and late. I gathered all the soldiers together to fight him, but he fulfilled his wish."

The lioness thought for a long time and said, "I don\'t quite understand what you mean. Do you want to leave Stanley alone?"

Manda said with a smile, "of course not. The reinforcements have set out and will receive his good news soon."

The lioness was surprised and said, "where\'s the reinforcements?"

"Blame haze valley."

The lioness took a breath and said, "you let leond deal with NARS?"

Manda said, "tifun asked him to conquer a city in the north. I think drawnwork city is a good choice."

"If you let leond attack drawnwork, he will listen to you?"

Manda was confident about this: "why don\'t you listen? I blame haze Valley for having a feud with NARS. NARS sold a fake apple to the valley, which made Pluto lose a pair of eyes and the count almost died on the altar. The valley lost half of the people for this. The subsequent war made Eudora lose an arm. Will leond forget this hatred?"

"This is our hatred. What does it have to do with leond? He didn\'t suffer any loss in that war."

"Even if there is no hatred, he should always learn to be on guard."

The lioness was still worried: "leond is probably not so smart. NARS is much smarter than him. When the count was alive, NARS and the valley always maintained a special relationship. Although they had experienced war, their relationship soon recovered. NARS also sold many sacred objects to the count."

Manda smiled, "what does that mean?"

"This means that nals is very good at drilling camp. He and leond may also have a deep friendship."

Manda shook her head and said, "don\'t say it\'s friendship. It has nothing to do with friendship. It\'s concession and forbearance between interests."

The lioness nodded and said, "that\'s what I\'m worried about. Leond only has interests in his eyes. He is likely to stand with NARS."

"This is the last thing I worry about," Manda poured a glass of wine to the lion girl. "Nals sent 20000 troops to bluestone. Not only the drawnwork city has no soldiers, but also the surrounding towns have no soldiers. Is there any greater benefit than this? There are so many lands waiting for leond to conquer. I\'m afraid he won\'t be allowed to miss such a good opportunity."

The lioness took a sip of wine, pursed her lips and said, "I can\'t tell you, but I really can\'t trust leond."

"It doesn\'t matter if you trust him. He\'s not the only reinforcements," Manda said, putting down her glass. "Before the new year, the Archbishop just lost a battle in the north. Now that Xinjun has just succeeded to the throne, it\'s time to get back his face."
