vs 11 Pedy Reagan
In Petaly's office at Kawar Castle, Sir Edwin's suggestion silenced the other three.
This merchant who is well-known throughout the Crewe Territory is worthy of his title of Silver Fox, and the choices he makes are always in the best interest of his own interests! Letting the Lockton family of Herienburg send troops to the Caderd Territory can not only test the attitude of the four Dominions, but also deflect conflicts.
It's a good idea.
The old mage Cowlier's eyes flashed with jealousy, and he looked at Pedi to say something, but after considering his embarrassing situation, he obediently swallowed the words back into his stomach.
Sir Bowenright looked at Edwin in surprise, he didn't expect the tax collector to meddle in the affairs of the local nobility so simply, and to say it so bluntly in front of him and Cowlier.
It was undeniably a good piece of advice, Sir Bowenright had thought of it, but only of it, and he had never intended to make such a suggestion to Pedi, for there were things that could only be thought of by the ruler himself, and not by his vassals.
"A good way is a good way. Pedi said as he moved his stiff body, his face not showing joy at the offer, or rather that he was not interested in it.
Lord Edwin was a little disappointed inside, he didn't expect Pedi to react like this. So he stopped talking, for he had no idea what the young ruler was thinking.
Sir Bowenright and Collier also looked at Pedi with some strange eyes, waiting for Pedy's next words.
After Peddy finished moving, he casually lay on the sofa and looked up at the ceiling, and said in a small voice, "Sir Edwin's plan is good, but it is only a trick of trickery. His gaze swept over the faces of the three of them in turn, "I don't want to use any conspiracy and magic this time, I want to step on the Kaide Collar in front of all the nobles under the gaze of the goddess." β
He straightened up and stretched out the five fingers of his left hand as he said this, "Cade, a big palm, Earl Bell?, a child who has never even been on the battlefield, do we need conspiracy, do we need trickery?" he looked at the humble Sir Edwin, "besides, I need to make those nobles feel my determination." β
"But I'm afraid that the nobles will come together. Sir Bowenright glanced at the old mage and whispered, "They have a good reason to send troops to help Bell Cade, and if they join forces, I fear that this war will not be resolved quickly, so that it will have to be resolved at the negotiating table, in the end, then..."
The old knight wanted to speak and stopped, he thought and thought, but still did not say the next words.
In the special political environment of the Kru Territory, the lords of the local territories have absolute autonomy, and they have the right to resist the 'tyranny' of the Reagan family!
In other words, under certain circumstances, the nobles could even join forces against the Reagan family.
Of course, this is only theoretical, and there has never been a union of nobles in the history of Crewe and the use of force against the rule of the Reagan family.
However, this has to be guarded against!
"I am willing to resign from the post of Chief of Police. Cowlier immediately knew it was time for him to take a stand.
Sir Bowenwright said: "If it had been possible for you to resign as Chief of Police of your own accord before this happened today, now your Chief of Police can only be removed and punished by Lord Pedy. β
"Do they really want to hang me!" the old mage's face changed.
"No, although those nobles may really have such thoughts, they are not stupid, and they will definitely care about Lord Peidi's face, and they will not make excessive demands. Sir Bowenright looked at Pedy as he said this.
The nobles of the hall met with two things that everyone objected to: Cowrell's abuse of the aristocracy and the reform of commercial taxation.
And these two things can actually be combined into one thing, because the commercial tax reform in the past few months has been handled by the police and the tax bureau together, and the previous person is Cowlier.
On one side was the union of the local nobility, and on the other side there was only Cowlier.
Whatever you think about, giving up on Cowlier for the time being is the best option.
But the problem is, the police chief of Cowlier was appointed by Pedi in front of many nobles in Crewe, and it has only been two months now, if he is allowed to step down at this moment, then what will the people of Crewe think of this matter? What do the other nobles think of this matter?
"My lord, or..."Sir Bowenlet wanted to ask for permission to talk to the nobles, he knew that this kind of thing, as the sovereign Pedi must need a step, otherwise if he deposed Collier so hard, where was the majesty of the Reagan monarch?
"Cowlier wasn't wrong, and he won't be wrong. Peddy interrupted Sir Bowenright rudely.
Sir Bowenwright's tone froze, "But, my lordship..."
Cowlier's eyes lit up at this moment, and Sir Edwin's gaze at Pedi was full of surprise.
"No but, sir. "If we admit that what Cowrell has done is wrong and punish him, it will be tantamount to rejecting the reform of the commercial tax purpose." His gaze suddenly became firm, "The reform of commercial tax items is the trend of the times, this cannot be changed, whoever wants to stand in my way will die!"
"My lordβ" The old mage Collier stood up and 'pounced' on the ground.
He was so excited that his whole body trembled,
The old mage had no idea that Pedi would go out of his way to defend him.
"I'm not helping you, it's Kruling's current situation that made me make a decision. Pedy's voice was cold, and he didn't tell Cowlier to get up, "You did make mistakes, and you were wrong more than once or twice, so you don't want to stay any longer..."
Collier curled up as he crawled to the ground, while Bowenright and Edwin kept their mouths shut to prevent them from saying something.
Pedi continued, "Don't you like seafood the most? Then go to Sekka Town, where I plan to open a magic academy to train a permanent army of magicians for Kruling, and you will be the head of this academy. β
At this point, Pedi stood up, "You now have three important positions: the commander of the mage corps, the chief of police, and the director of the magic college...", he walked to the office weapon rack and took down a one-handed dagger, "A new position requires a new identity, haven't you always wanted to be a nobleman? β
As he spoke, Paddy drew his dagger and said to Bowenright and Edwin, "You are witnesses. β
Sir Bowenwright and Sir Edwin were shocked, they did not expect that Collier would not receive any punishment, but would instead obtain the status of a nobleman!
Cowlier's body trembled even more with Pedy's words,
He was excited, even more moved!
It's been a long time since he's been so moved!
Pedi quickly approached, and Bowenlet and Edwin rose and stepped aside to watch.
"Chest up, look up, look me in the eye. Pedi had a serious face.
Cowlier stood on one knee with a trembling chest, and looked up at Pedi.
"Dang!"
"Dang!"
"Dang!"
Peddy dispensed with his oath and struck his sword directly on the top of Cowlier's head and shoulders, then tucked the steel sword into its scabbard and threw it at Cowlier.
The entire canonization ceremony didn't take more than ten seconds!
"Get up, Sir Collier. Pedi shouted casually.
When Collier heard this, he quickly grabbed the saber at his feet and held it in his hand, raised the saber above his head with both hands, and shouted respectfully, "My lord." β
Sir Edwin then stepped forward to lift Collier like a close old friend, and said with a sincere blessing on his face: "Congratulations, Sir Cowrell. β
"Congratulations, Sir Collier. Sir Bowenright was also congratulating.
Although the canonization ceremony was unusually brief, both Bowenwright and Edwin cast envious glances at Collier, and Edwin was secretly glad that he had not recommended the removal of Collier from the post of director as Bowenwright had just done.
"Spread the news as quickly as possible that I had canonized Collier as a nobleman, and of course, his appointment as the head of the Magic Academy in Seca Town. Pedy looked at Sir Edwin, "You can do this, you should know what I mean, right?"
"Don't worry, my lord. "Sir Edwin is confident.
"Yes!" Pedi nodded, looked at Collier and said, "You will go to Seka Town this afternoon, and I will have the Knight Guard send a special escort to escort you." With that, he looked at Bowenlet: "Sir Bowenright stays, and you both go out." β
"Very...", Collier was a little reluctant.
"Get out of here. Pedy scolded as he retreated to the chair next to his desk, and motioned for Sir Bowenright to sit across from him.
When the other two had completely exited the room, Pedi asked, "Can the Guards be ready to fight at any time?"
"Of course, we train every day. "But I suggest this time the Heavy Cavalry Corps should be used, and I am sure that the Earl of Bell Cade knows very well what this war means, and that he will not cower behind the walls, but will lead his troops in a head-to-head duel with us." β
"I'll go to the battlefield myself. "Pedi didn't underestimate this war.
Sir Bowenright nodded, "It's natural, you have to command this war yourself." β
"So, I need you to go to the Jamici Meadows to take over from Sir Glick, and take the first regiment of the Guards. Pedi grimaced, "Orc labor can't have any problems at this time, and Beehnburg and Hallensburg can't have any problems. β
"I'll stare them to death, I swear. "Sir Bowenwright solemnly assured.
"I believe in you. Pedi nodded, then changed his tone and said in a low voice, "You asked Sir Grek to go to Fort Herien to find Viscount Bane, and said that Bell Cade's rebellion needs his troops to flank from the flanks. β
Sir Bowenwright's gaze froze, and he was silent for two seconds before replying, "I will tell Sir Glick." β
