The bearded man quickly read the letter, but there was some confusion on his face.

"Your Excellency Li Ang, I understand the explanation given by the earl. But does this have anything to do with the group of Jatu plunderers?"

The bearded officer was probably a civilian, and he still seemed unaware of the current situation.

"There is a group of so-called gangsters in Fletcher Village. You should know about it, right?"

The bearded man nodded blankly: "That is the nephew of the Duke of Alma. But they have never done anything bad before, but they seem to be opening up territory - so although the people in the earldom can't get along with them, they won't take the initiative.

Go and provoke him so as not to cause a bigger conflict."

Li Ang nodded: "If you did not receive the information that Fletcher Village was robbed by the Jatu people, and you did not receive the news that Brave Shield Castle was captured, then this means that the so-called gangsters near Fletcher Village colluded.

He killed the Jatu people and deliberately let the Jatu people enter the hinterland of Changhe Town..."

In fact, Li Ang was just guessing, but this guess was almost entirely true.

Since the Brave Shield Castle was safe and there was no special beacon warning, then the Jatu cavalry was able to penetrate deep into the kingdom's hinterland, probably with the help of some insider.

The rise of Earl Oden was built on the corpses of the Jatu people. He and the Jatu people were sworn enemies, and it was unlikely that he was let in by the defenders of his Brave Shield Castle.

Thinking again about the territorial conflict between the Duke of Alma and the Count of Oden, it is not too difficult to draw this conclusion.

——Earl Oden specifically asked Leon to deal with the 'bandits' in Fletcher Village, presumably because he considered the possibility of such a situation.

However, Auden did not say that the so-called gangster was Alma's nephew!

This old fox is trying to trick me... It seems that neither side is a good bird...

Li Ang thought.

When the bearded man heard Li Ang's guess, his lips began to tremble, and he murmured: "How dare they do this... How dare they..."

Li Ang sighed with a sincere expression: "Of course they dare - you should know that hundreds of Jatu cavalry have entered the hinterland of the kingdom. What this means to Earl Oden and yourself..."

Hundreds of Jatu cavalry appeared in the hinterland of Changhe Town. As a border fortress, Brave Shield Fort and the Changhe Town garrison were both to blame. At the very least, it was considered "incompetence and dereliction of duty."

Moreover, the Jatu people came from Fletcher Village, the territory of Earl Oden, and were even suspected of collaborating with the enemy!

This situation is difficult to handle. Even if the Jatu cavalry is eliminated immediately, it will be difficult to reverse the fact that they have plundered inland villages.

The Duke of Alma will definitely use this to attack Count Oden, not to mention whether it will rise to the level of 'collaboration with the enemy', but at least Oden's men failed to ensure the safety of Changhe Town. They are 'unsuitable to manage the garrison of Changhe Town'

Evaluations are definitely indispensable.

Then, even the best result will lead to Oden's management authority of Changhe Town being withdrawn and he will withdraw from the competition for Changhe Town.

The group of 'gangsters' entrenched in Fletcher Village have never done any other bad things before, so the real purpose is probably this.

The bearded officer probably figured it out and panicked: "Your Excellency Li Ang, do you have any good ideas?"

"Hurry up and send a large force to destroy those Jatu people and try to capture them alive. If that doesn't work, bring back the Jatu people's horses and all their equipment intact."

Li Ang started making arrangements without hesitation, as if he was the chief here.

The bearded man nodded: "Of course. But I'm afraid it won't solve the earl's problem..."

What he cares about is the ‘malfeasance’ that has become a fait accompli.

"Of course not, but if you are fast enough and bring back all their horses and equipment, I have a way to completely solve the problem..."

Li Ang's face was full of confidence: "While you are chasing Jatu, I will quickly deal with the so-called gangsters in Fletcher Village - I know it is not convenient for people in the earldom to take action. But I need some assistance.

…”

Seeing that Leon seemed to have a solution, the bearded Ralph seemed very happy: "What do you need? I will try my best to help you."

Li Ang looked at the map and started to make requests directly: "I need a detailed map, the more detailed the better. In addition, I need supplies, including crossbows and arrows, as well as some carpenters and building materials. I will give you the specific quantity."

I will write to you."

The bearded man also looked at the map, with some confusion on his face: "I can understand the map and the crossbow... but does the carpenter have anything to do with expelling the bandits?"

Li Ang answered matter-of-factly: "You also know that the so-called gangsters are not gangsters, but a noble... To deal with such unconventional troubles, you must have unconventional methods."

The bearded man became even more confused: "Can you be more specific? If necessary, I can also send some fresh faces to join the battle."

"Of course... the problem that the count and you are facing is that there are Jatu people entering Changhe Town to plunder, and you will definitely be held responsible, or at least you will be considered derelict in your duties or incompetent..."

Li Ang drew on the map and began to describe his plan to the bearded veteran.

The problems faced by Count Oden are troublesome, but they are not without solutions.

Li Ang's method of dealing with the situation was tit for tat.

To the north of Fletcher Village, near the territory that the Duke of Alma's nephew is developing, build a Jatu nomadic camp.

Then let Ralph send someone to pretend to be a Jatu man and run from the north to the territory of Lion Lake City, which is the territory of the Duke of Alma, for a tour and even a robbery.

Just like what the Jatu people usually do, they rob and then run away. Count Oden's men should be happy to do this job...

In this way, the entry of Jatu cavalry can be understood as "Jatu launched a large-scale attack and plundered everywhere" - Jatu plunderers appeared in everyone's territory, so it is impossible to say who is responsible.

Moreover, the appearance of a Jatu camp in the territory of the Duke of Alma's nephew is much more serious than the appearance of a group of Jatu cavalry...

Count Oden might even be able to counterattack because of this.

After talking about the plan, Leon asked Sarah to help write down the list of materials he requested, and then patted Ralph on the shoulder: "Ralph, you'd better write a letter to the Earl to inform the situation. This is no longer a simple matter.

They were beaten and killed."

Hearing the statement "Write a letter to the earl to inform the situation", the bearded Ralph no longer doubted, but respectfully saluted and accepted the order: "Although I still don't understand your plan very well, since the earl said that he will try his best to cooperate with you

, I will obey orders. When will you leave for Fletcher?"

Li Ang looked at the sky: "I'll probably set off the day after tomorrow. I'll recruit more people at the Adventurer's Tavern. Once you have your things ready, bring them to the tavern."

"Okay, Your Excellency."

Sarah initially remained silent beside her, but finally couldn't help but smile when she left the station.

Only she saw Li Ang's true intentions.

"You really took great pains to deceive those carpenters and building materials... Lord Li Ang."

Li Ang raised his eyebrows with a righteous look on his face: "What is cheating? I'm solving a problem for them..."

"But the list of materials you wrote to Ralph actually called for twenty craftsmen, twenty carts of wood, and enough tents to station hundreds of people... Probably less than one-tenth of the nomadic camp you called was used.

Bar?"
