"Hey! That seems to be Quinte!" At this moment, Boris looked at Quinte Territory opposite and exclaimed in surprise.
"Quinte?"
Ever since Nalant cut down a large area of Quinte Buffer Zone's trees, there have been guards on duty on the opposite border.
Nalant was very happy about this matter. He just wanted Quinte to send troops here to know what was going on here.
However, Nalant did not expect that Quinte would come to check it out in person today.
Although Nalant has been friends with Quinte for a long time, he still doesn't know what Quinte looks like.
Following Boris's gaze, he saw a fat man with a bloated figure and wearing large armor.
The fat man was surrounded by a few guards, and he raised his eyes to look at them.
"Boris, that fat man is Quinte!"
Compared to Quinte, Boris's slightly 'rounder' figure is simply well-proportioned.
"Yes, he also went to school at the Royal Capital Academy. Although I wasn't very familiar with him at that time, I still remember his appearance!"
"Come on, Boris, let's go meet him for a while!" Nalant rolled his eyes, and Quinte actually came in person. This is a good opportunity and will be more conducive to the development of his plan.
Boris naturally has no objection. Anyway, the conflict is between Nalant and Quinte, and he is just here to help. The territory and Quinte Territory are still hundreds of miles apart.
Then, Nalant and Boris rode horses slowly toward the center of Buffer Zone.
When Quinte saw this scene, he also mounted his war horse and came towards us with several guards.
"Boris Baron? Why are you here?"
The two sides walked towards each other, and finally stopped their horses in the middle of Buffer Zone.
The two sides did not speak immediately, but were carefully sizing up the deal. Quinte first glanced at Nalant, and then looked at Boris next to him. Apparently Quinte also recognized Boris.
"Baron Quinte, long time no see! Naturally, I came here at the invitation of Sir Nalant to be a guest of Storm Territory!" Boris smiled and said nothing more.
Today's protagonist is Nalant.
After getting such an answer, Quinte turned his attention to Nalant again.
To be honest, at first Quinte was very contemptuous of Nalant. If the second son of a baron had not obtained the title and territory by chance, even if he were to become a knight vassal for him, it would have to be based on his ability. He had to pick and choose.
But these days, strange things happened one after another in Storm Territory, and his guards and barbarians seemed to have disappeared from the world, which made Quinte couldn't help but take another look at the second son of the baron.
"You are the new lord of Storm Territory! It seems to be similar to the rumors, but you are a bit too weak!" Quinte asked about the details of Nalant. Naturally, he also knew about the situation of the useless second son...
Moreover, his guards came one after another. He estimated that Nalant also knew something, and he was not pretending to be a friendly neighbor at the moment.
Of course, what's more important is that he despises Nalant from the bottom of his heart. How can he have a good conversation with the second son of a baron, as he is the son of an earl?
"Are you Baron Quinte? I originally thought that Baron Quinte would be a strong and powerful noble, but I am really disappointed. Quinte, the war horse under you may not be able to ride for long before it needs to be replaced again! I feel that its horse bones are about to be bent."
Hearing the sarcasm, Nalant did not show any anger, but just smiled and spoke sarcastically.
Having accepted the memory of the original owner, he was able to master the words "noble cultivation" without using any curse words, and taunting people with a smile.
"You..." Quinte hates two things most in his life.
The first point is that others call themselves illegitimate children.
The second point is this bloated body shape.
Because he is lazy and relies on magic potions or monster meat to supplement his daily cultivation, he has developed this body fat. However, there are still only a few people who dare to laugh at him in person. Nalant is the only other person besides his brother.
Quinte was about to curse, but when he saw that Nalant was still smiling, he suppressed his anger and spoke sullenly, "Nalant, did you cut down the forest near Quinte Territory on Buffer Zone's side?"
"That's right, Baron Quinte, no need to thank me, I'm just doing it to facilitate the passage of both parties in the future. We are neighbors after all, we should help each other!"
"I thank your grandmother!" Quinte cursed in his heart. He had never seen such a shameless person.
He took a breath before continuing, "Nalant, the trees close to my Quinte Territory Buffer Zone are also considered my Quinte Territory's property. Now that you have cut down these trees without my consent, you have broken the unspoken rules!"
"Now I give you two choices, either pay me one gold coin per tree, or wait for us Blackiron Earldom to ask Tulip Family for an explanation! Then I will see how you can participate in this competition."
"Really?" Nalant also laughed angrily at this Quinte. Back then, this guy did it in the first year of junior high school, and it was even more extreme. Now that he is in the fifteenth year, he actually wants compensation or wants to file a lawsuit.
"No gold coins, Baron Quinte, you can go ahead and sue if you want! However, I don't know who built the camp directly on Buffer Zone! Haha, but it's okay. I heard that this camp seemed to have been attacked a few days ago, and the thick smoke can even be seen from my castle!" Nalant smiled happily.
"Speaking of which, if I know who did it, I will definitely thank you!"
"You... just wait for me!" Quinte was beaten to pieces by Nalant.
As a time traveler, although Nalant does not have the Earl family as a backer, the overall strength of the territory is not as strong as Quinte.
But if it comes to talking nonsense, he can beat Quinte to death.
The two sides did not agree with each other, so naturally they broke up.
But just as Quinte turned around, Nalant continued, "Baron Quinte, I and Baron Boris of Black Rock Territory have concluded an offensive and defensive alliance contract."
"In order for Storm Territory and Black Rock Territory to develop better and enhance the intimacy of cooperation between the two parties, an exercise will be held here tomorrow afternoon. Remember to bring someone to watch if you are free."
"By the way, you may not know what the drill means at your level. It means bringing my elite guards of Storm Territory and Black Rock Territory here to practice how to fight!"
"The number of people will reach more than a hundred by then, and the scene will definitely be spectacular. You have to come and see it!"
"Of course, this is just a normal exercise and we are not targeting Quinte Territory, so Baron Quinte doesn't have to worry too much."
Hearing this, Quinte didn't say much, he just glared at Nalant fiercely, and then returned to his territory without looking back.
"Nalant, this Quinte is the illegitimate son of Earl Blackiron after all, and it borders your territory. In fact, you don't need to anger him so much!" After Quinte left, Nalant and Boris also returned the same way. On the way, Boris looked at Nalant with a strange expression.
Why didn't he realize before that Nalant was so sharp that even the Earl's heir dared to treat him like this? This was really embarrassing.
"Boris, you only know that Quinte had a grudge against me because I sold salt at a low price. In fact, before that..."
At that moment, Nalant walked while telling the story of Quinte's exploitation of the people belonging to Storm Territory, as well as the situation of the camp's invasion of Buffer Zone.
