From Witcher to Lord of the Empire

Chapter 7 Everyone knows that Lannister has a family tradition here

When the queen heard Lan En's words, she immediately put on a serious face, and said with a fake smile: "Then Ciri doesn't have to marry the prince of Verdon, right?"

The atmosphere is not right? Lan En was taken aback by the queen's change, and subconsciously replied: "That's right, and I don't think Ciri herself is very willing..."

The queen slapped the chair and stood up: "That's enough, Lane. Maybe my tolerance for you has misunderstood you all this time, giving birth to thoughts you shouldn't have, and don't think about things you shouldn't think about!"

Hey, how can you turn your face when you turn your face?

Wait, what do you mean by all this? What is something you shouldn't think about?

Before Lan could react, he was thrown out of the living room. Didn't I offer advice and suggestions to save Cintra just now, loyal minister?

The guards outside the door did not look sideways. It is true that the queen is often angry, but she has always been very kind to Lann. It is rare to be so angry like today.

Lan En looked around in embarrassment, and asked the familiar guard beside him, "Speaking of which, I haven't seen Ciri for a long time, where is she recently?"

The guards stared intently.

Lan En was puzzled, what happened today, these people are not like this usually?

The door of the living room opened again, but the butler of the castle came out.

"Princess Sirila is learning court etiquette, and she won't be able to meet guests in a short time until the nuns agree." The butler said unhurriedly, looking up and down at Lann with an inexplicable expression, "Her Majesty asked me to Take you to hand over the affairs of the city guard."

"Come with me, Lord Lannister."

Lane heard the butler put an accent on the last name "Lannister".

Sintra is one of the most powerful countries in the entire Northern Kingdom, and one of the few countries with a large standing army, unlike some small countries that hire a large number of mercenaries when fighting.

In terms of city defense, the capital of Sintra has a standing city defense army of 2,000 people. Lan followed the royal steward to the city defense camp. Since it was daytime, there were not many soldiers undergoing daily training here. Most of the city defense soldiers had daily patrols or other tasks.

The royal butler resigned when he brought Lane here, obviously he didn't like the environment of the barracks very much. While Lan was watching the training, a loud laugh came:

"Hahaha! Lann, our new champion! Welcome to join our city defense army!"

Turning his head and looking over, a tall knight with scars all over his face came towards him with open arms, and he could not help but say that it was a bear hug.

Strong hand, is a macho. And that armor is very painful.

"The last match was beautiful, that boy Vitoni was hacked by you until his sword flew!"

"It's just luck." Lan said with a smile, and there was no shortage of kindness in his tone, "Uncle Carl."

People like Lan En, who parachuted into the army with a title and did not have the slightest military merit, are actually easy to be excluded, but Lan En's situation is quite special. Leaving aside the fact that he has now won the championship and has become the nominal "No. 1 Swordsman" in Cintra——

He is still the second generation of a royal family and nobleman who joined the army!

Sir Carl patted Lann's shoulder vigorously, and looked at his body:

"You didn't embarrass your father. Not only is he as handsome as he was when he was young, but he is also as heroic. If I wasn't used to it, I almost called you 'Lannister' just now."

The "Lannister" here does not refer to his surname, but the original father's name. They took the family founder's name as their surname.

"I really miss the days when I fought side by side with your father." Sir Carl said a little sadly, but quickly restrained his emotions.

"What do you want to do in the city defense army? It's a pity that you are too young, otherwise I can directly mention you as the deputy head!"

"I can't do it if you give it to me. I don't know anything about commanding." Lan En said distressedly, "I originally wanted my aunt to allow me to go to the battlefield to practice. I will start as a low-level officer."

"That must not work, do you want the Lannister family to perish!" Sir Carl yelled, "Well, we have recruited a hundred new recruits recently, and you have been their captain within two months of training How about it? Do you want to use them for training, or take them out for patrols, whatever you want to do is up to you."

"The recruits are better. I'm afraid that rashly getting started will disturb the daily layout of the city defense."

Lan En thanked with a smile, did you really think he wanted to do city defense honestly?

Lane quickly went to count his subordinates. It is indeed too exaggerated to take all one hundred people out at one go. Lan left half of them to continue the daily training, and drove into the street with fifty people in a mighty manner.

After all, it was just a patrol, not a fight.

The entrance of the Three Crows Tavern.

The vice-captain of the Centuries boldly stepped forward and asked, "Lord Lannister, what is wrong with this tavern? Are we going to kick the door in now?"

"No, this is where we drink tonight. I plan to invite the brothers to have a drink here tonight." Lan looked at the bulletin board in front of the tavern.

The deputy captain's eyes lit up, the Earl seemed quite generous.

"But before that...ha, there is." Lan En's eyes lit up, and he reached out to remove a notice.

Generally speaking, security issues in cities are resolved by specialized law enforcement forces. However, limited by the technology and ideological atmosphere of the times, there are many unsolved and wrong cases, and even soldiers often ignore them.

Therefore, there will be unofficial bulletin boards set up in the center of the city, squares, and at the entrance of taverns. Help seekers will post notices asking for help, hoping to get help from mercenaries or other people who want to pick up odd jobs. This situation is especially common in villages and small towns.

The system beep sounds at this time:

[Discovery Mission - Arsonist:

The blacksmith shop of Old Wei, a blacksmith in the east of the city, caught fire, but he felt that someone must be jealous of his recent booming business. Whether his suspicions were true or not, he needed a little help right now.

Accept/Reject]

He then handed this task list to the vice-captain:

"I'll leave it to you. Bring ten people with you. It must be completed today. I'll go to Lao Wei later to ask about the situation. Don't be lazy."

vice captain:"???"

My new captain has long heard the reputation of helping people solve their troubles everywhere, but what is it to leave such things to himself?

In the evening.

[Mission: Arsonist - Completed]

Hearing the system's notification sound and seeing the rising experience bar, Lan couldn't help laughing.

Although there were some twists and turns in the middle, the result was still good.

This is the real purpose of asking Calanthe for a position!

And when the deputy captain led the people to the blacksmith shop, Lan did not forget to take the people around the city, so——

[Task: Cattery - Completed]

[Mission: Thief who repeats itself - Completed]

【Mission - Unpaid Gambling Debt - Completed】

[Character level increase +1]

evening.

In the Three Crows Tavern, soldiers in city defense uniforms were full and sat on nearly one floor.

"cheers!"

"You know, this is the first time I've met someone who runs an 'orphanage' for wild cats. She's an old lady. I guess I'm out of my mind!"

"Don't talk about it, I met a gambler here. When I went to their house, they actually tried to cheat me out of money. The five of us fought around him!"

"Hey, you don't know, this is the first time I saw a thief go to someone's house to steal things over and over again, and he kept stealing for almost a month, and he was still left alone?"

"Brother, this should have been in our hands..."
