Pedi was indifferent to the two of them on the surface, but in his heart he had another idea. The information from three days ago should normally appear on the desktop of his office within a day.

"I'd like to remember telling you that the news about Fort Hurrynn, big or small, had to be reported to me as soon as possible. Pedi leaned back in his office chair and tapped his fingers lightly on the desk, his gaze darting over the two of them, "Or do you need me to repeat my order again?"

"My lord, are you questioning my loyalty?" said Sir Glick, with a serious expression.

"I have no doubt about your loyalty, Sir. "I'm just warning you, put away your little cleverness, and everything must be done according to my commands." ”

"Your Excellency," explained Baron Danmen, "Viscount Bane mobilizes his army every day, and the MI has a mountain of information on this, so we must ensure the accuracy of the information. ”

"Looks like you're pretty sure?"

Sir Grek hurriedly answered, "I guess Viscount Bane-Lockton wants to completely block the trade route from Harrence Heights to Twak Territory to ensure that the Lockton family can make enough profits in the next trade. ”

"Isn't he making enough money?" Peddy rummaged through the stacks of papers on his desk, a roll of paper written on damp-proof vellum paper appeared in his hand not long after, and he forced himself to resist the disgusting smell of the paper and began to flip through it, "This is the latest investigation report of Sir Seke-Marat, Sir Bane relied on the unique geographical location of Fort Harrion to forcibly turn his territory into a concentration of trade between the East Great Road and the Western Continent. ”

Peddy tossed the document to the edge of his desk and motioned for the two of them to look at it, and continued, "The trade of the whole continent has grown exponentially in four months, and Sir Seke-Marat has come to the conclusion based on the official caravans passing through the northern part of the Harrance Heights... At this moment, in the Fort Herien area, nearly half of the mainland's combat readiness materials are concentrated!"

Pedy's words frightened the two of them, and Sir Gorrik took two steps forward to spread out the brown skin.

"Squeak," Pedi turned his office chair around, moving it under the wall behind his desk, opening the gray curtain to reveal a detailed map of Harus Heights inside. "Rustle," he used charcoal to mark a red dot in the northern part of Harrance Heights and note the details, then took two steps back and looked at the map in a daze.

After a long while, Sir Glick, who had seen half of the paper, stopped paying attention to the contents of the paper, he looked at Pedi and said, "Your Excellency, you should have made a decision earlier!"

"What decision?"

"You must let Viscount Bane know that you are the ruler of Crewe. "I know Viscount Bane, he doesn't have the same crazy ideas as Dwak's Domain, Cize-Dewen, he just wants to force you to undo the reform of your local realms. ”

"With all due respect, my lordship, Viscount Bane's idea was not wrong in the beginning..."

"Do you mean I'm doing something wrong?" Pedi retracted his gaze from looking at the map, turning to stare at Glick.

"From the standpoint of a local lord, that's the case!" Sir Gorrick and Pedy looked at each other, and Baron Danmen, who was next to him, heard Sir Glick's words and his heart began to beat violently.

"You should finish your words. Pedi frowned slightly, but was not angry.

"Yes, sir. Sir Glick continued, "You suddenly say 'no' to the way Crewe has ruled for more than two hundred years, and even the most loyal lord will object. "All the lords are worried that when their power is weakened, you will throw them away like garbage... After all, that's how they play with their subjects. ”

"I'm not undermining their rights, and the Kawalburg reform of the business tax will only make them richer," said Pedi. ”

"No one dares to guarantee this, the lords prefer a direct exchange of interests. Sir Glick said: "Viscount Bane-Lockton's original idea was to blockade the merchants and force you to sit down with them and talk about your reforms, but you were indifferent to it. ”

"And now," Sir Gorrik looked up, "you should speak more with Viscount Bane. ”

"I'm afraid that the current Viscount Bane is no longer the Viscount Bane of a few months ago. Danmen Green retorted, "My lord, even if Viscount Bane-Lockton really wanted to force you to negotiate at first, four months have passed, and the immense wealth brought to him by the monopoly trade route is enough to make him think otherwise. ”

"Then you should talk to him first. Sir Glick glared at Danmen Green and said, "Viscount Bane-Lockton is still a retainer of the Reagan family, and he has not expressed his independence in any public. ”

"Your Excellency," Baron Danmen looked at Pedi, "My intelligence officer told me that Viscount Bane might take advantage of our unpreparedness to seize the official roads in the north-central part of the Harrence Heights!" he pointed to the map behind his desk, "Viscount Bane now has such strength, he is delusional about controlling the trade routes of Crewe City!"

"Oh?" said Pedy, who immediately turned his head to look at the map he faced every day.

"Bane Lockton will never take the initiative to attack the Reagan army, I can assure you. Sir Glick's voice overshadowed Baron Danmen, "He's not comparable to that dumb guy of Bell Cade. ”

"Do you really want to vouch for him?" Baron Danmen's voice was quiet, but it could silence Sir Glick, "Even if you can guarantee Viscount Bane's loyalty, what about the Lockton family retainers?

Sir Gorrick frowned slightly, he did not answer Baron Danmen's words directly, he looked at Pedi: "My lord, I think you should talk to Viscount Bane whether or not he changes his oath. ”

"I propose to kill him at the negotiating table. Baron Danmen-Green said coldly.

"Do you still have any honors that you deserve as a nobleman?"

"The honor of the Green family is allegiance to the Reagan family!"

"Force and assassination will only make things worse!" said Sir Glick, as if he had made up his mind, "I am willing to go to Fort Harrien once again, and persuade Viscount Bane to come to Fort Kavar. ”

Danmen-Green smiled and said sarcastically, "They will be dismantled by him and hang your head on the walls of Fort Herien." ”

"Your Excellency!" Gorrik ignored Baron Danmen as he looked at Pedi for an answer.

"Are you serious?" asked Pedy, turning to glare at Glick.

"Of course, I am confident that Viscount Bane will come. ”

Pedi stared at Gorrik seriously for a few seconds, then shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said, "Then you can go and try." ”

"It was a wise decision, my lord. Sir Glick was stunned for a moment, then smiled and bowed.

"You go down and get ready. Pedi waved his hand.

"Yes!"

Gorrik stepped back respectfully.

Pedy turned his head and continued to look at the map in a daze, as if Sir Glick's trip to Fort Herien was as trivial to him.

"Your Excellency, you—" Danmen-Green wanted to say.

"Let's talk about it first. Pedy's voice was flat, "After all, we all need time. As he spoke, his fingers slowly crossed the map, and a new trade route slowly appeared as his fingers sliped, but unfortunately he stopped at Fort Herien!

Pedi tapped at Fort Herien on the map and asked, "What have the Donna family been doing in Hallensburg lately?"

"I'm busy fighting with Byn for water on the Jamich grassland. Baron Danmen's eyelids couldn't help jumping wildly after hearing Pei Di's question, and he subconsciously lowered his head and said: "Jamich Lake was seriously damaged because of the orc war last year, although the orcs are slowly repairing the ecological environment on the grassland after surrendering, but the progress is much slower than expected. ”

"Is there a serious contradiction?" said Pedi, thoughtfully.

"The grievances between the Donna family and the Borg family cannot be explained in one or two sentences, and the water problem is just a fuse. Seeing that Pei Di was interested in this issue, Baron Danmen immediately recalled all the information of the two families in his mind.

Pei Di suddenly grinned, stared at Baron Danmen and asked, "Which family do you say I should support?"

"Huh?" Danmen Green was stunned, his head lowered and suddenly raised... He saw a pair of playful eyes. The gaze revealed in these eyes was telling Baron Danmen that the next answer must be cautious.

"My lord," Danmen-Green whispered, "I don't quite understand what you mean. ”

"You don't understand?"

"I'm very sorry, my lord. Danmen Green's voice began to tremble.

Pedi whispered, "Put away your little cleverness...", his tone gradually became colder, "The rotten family should be eliminated, even if it was once brilliant, or do you have thoughts about Byan's territory?"

"MI helped Bynling just to balance the balance between the Borg family and the Donna family on the Jamich steppe... Balance is needed on the Jamici steppe. Danmen-Green snapped the bullet and said, "We've been doing this for a hundred years. ”

"By the way, get some more private property, huh?"

"Your Excellency..."

"I don't like balance!" Pedi knocked on his desk, "A balanced environment makes people stop, and there is pressure to keep people forward!" He pointed to Danmen, "Keep that little bit of your private property for yourself... From now on, every piece of information from the MIA cannot be leaked without my permission. ”

"Yes, my lord!" Danmen-Green felt a chill rise from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

Pedi had always been pleased with Baron Danmen's attitude, and he nodded as he opened the drawer of his desk, and took out the two letters that had already been written and placed them on the table, "There are two letters here, one for Sir Bowenlet on the Garmic Plain, and one for Viscount Geerbevil of Harrensburg. ”
