Just as Renard was changing the law of the pit natives, a huge storm was brewing in the Duchy of Oslo, thousands of miles away.

A country that had been destroyed by default a few years ago was brought back to life a few years later.

The new Grand Duke was promoted, and it was Jimmy who was secretly fueling the trouble.

Of course, this was not his intention.

At the end of March, in the face of Jimmy's nearly 10,000-strong army, the new Grand Duke Halifax urgently convened a meeting of all the city-states.

All the lords and nobles of the Duchy of Oslo gathered in the city-state of Koster, and this time they were no longer intriguing, but instead of working together.

Because the strength of Jimmy, the governor of Raidun Harbor, has caused many people to be jealous, so they must firmly unite to fight against this hillbilly who came out of an unknown mountain.

The new Grand Duke Halifax sat at the head of the conference room, and he said to the surrounding lords with a gloomy face: "Two days ago, that hillbilly gave me an ultimatum to start a war of conquest if I did not surrender immediately. ”

His words made everyone present feel heavy, and then showed a helpless wry smile.

Of course, there are also people who are extremely calm: "Oh, yes, this is good!

Speaking was Viscount Fred, the lord of the city-state of Priestley, who was second only to the new Grand Duke of Halifax, with 3,000 elite soldiers and the richest land in the Duchy of Oslo.

The former city-state of Priestley was not rich, it was located in the center of the principality, occupied a small area, and had no special products, so its strength could only be said to be moderate.

However, after the outbreak of the demonic plague, many city-states were destroyed by demons, and food production was greatly reduced, resulting in a significant increase in food prices.

The city-state of Priestley, located in the heart of the principality, was untouched and became hot because of its fertile land and abundant grain production.

Viscount Fred is an ambitious and ambitious lord who seizes this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to hoard food, recruit troops, and expand his power.

If he is given some more time to develop, the Grand Duke's position may not be the turn of the Earl of Halifax.

However, Jimmy's birth broke Viscount Fred's plan to build high walls, accumulate grain, and delay his claim to the throne, and the city-state lords of the Duchy of Oslo actually competed for the new Grand Duke in advance.

Although it was a decision made out of necessity, it also showed that Viscount Fred had no chance to be in the position of Grand Duke from then on.

Because of this, he was very disinterested and even hated the new Grand Duke Halifax, so when the other party said the previous sentence, he actually felt a little happy in his heart.

Let's fight! It's better to lose both!

The new Grand Duke Halifax frowned when he heard this, he knew why the other party showed such an attitude.

Isn't it just robbing you of the position of the Grand Duke that you are determined to win? Is it so important to have a false name?

The Grand Duke of Halifax dares to think so, purely because a full man does not know that a hungry man is hungry.

If the two sides were to switch identities and Viscount Fred was elected as the new Grand Duke, he was afraid that he would jump to his feet and curse the street.

However, there are no ifs, so Halifax felt that he deserved to be the Grand Duke, and the other party deserved to be defeated.

With peace of mind, he became even more disgusted with Viscount Fred's unreasonable behavior.

The Grand Duke of Halifax wanted to open his mouth to reprimand the other party, but considering the current situation that was not in his favor, he finally suppressed the anger in his heart: "Viscount Fred, please pay attention to your words. ”

"If we go to war, we will face an extremely powerful and difficult enemy, and I have heard that there is a powerful force behind the other side......

Before the Grand Duke of Halifax could finish speaking, Viscount Fred stood up and interrupted, "So what?"

When he said this, he had a smile on his face: "Do you want to compromise with the other party, and at the same time sacrifice the city-state of Koster to curry favor with him?"

"Aren't we here today to discuss how to deal with that hillbilly?"

"What better way do you have to deal with him than to go to war?"

When the Grand Duke of Halifax heard these words, he couldn't help but be a little speechless, after all, what the other party said was all the truth.

However, it was impossible for him to admit this, and after thinking about it, he retorted: "We don't have to go to war, peaceful coexistence may be a better solution." ”

Hearing this, the eyes of the surrounding lords suddenly lit up.

Seeing this, Viscount Fred shook his head and smiled: "Do you think it is possible?"

His gaze swept contemptuously across the room

Lord: "Do you think a tiger can coexist peacefully with a herd of sheep?"

The lords of the city-states couldn't help but look at each other when they heard this.

Viscount Fred looked at the uncertain expressions on the faces of the people around him, and couldn't help but chuckle: "You don't think it's possible, right?"

"After all, that hillbilly has gathered nearly 10,000 soldiers under his command, which can be described as a strong army, if you have such an army yourself, will you choose a corner of safety?"

The obvious answer is that people have ambitions, and when strength matches ambition, who else can suppress their ambitions?

Although the facts are already in front of them, some people are still unwilling to ask: "Is there really no way to solve the problem peacefully except for war?"

It was the lord of a small city-state who spoke, and he only had a hundred and ten men under him, so he naturally didn't want to be an enemy of a powerful being like Jimmy.

Viscount Fred sneered: "Didn't I just say that if you want to solve the problem peacefully, unless you take the initiative to give up your territory and surrender to the other party, or let the other party surrender on your own initiative. ”

The little lord's lips pursed when he heard this, and he wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't say it.

At this moment, the old man who was sitting next to the new Grand Duke Halifax and had never made a sound let out a few light coughs, which instantly attracted the attention of the people around him.

It can be seen that this old man has a very high status in the Duchy of Oslo.

In fact, he was the younger brother of the former Grand Duke and the current owner of the city-state of Tranque.

Although the city-state of Trank has been destroyed by demons, its strength should not be underestimated, at least among the many lords, its strength can still rank in the top ten.

From this point, it is not difficult to judge how powerful the former Trunk city-state was.

I heard the old man say: "Now that the demons are rampant, the external troubles have not been eliminated and the internal strife has been added, and the Principality of Oslo is in danger, everyone should not talk about the wind and cold, and quickly think about how to deal with that hillbilly." ”

Viscount Fred shrugged his shoulders when he heard this, and said with a smile: "My solution is very simple, it is to go to war, but I will not cooperate with the Earl of Halifax." ”

He did not address him as the Grand Duke, but by addressing him by his previous title, indicating that he did not recognize the authority of the other party.

The hands of the Grand Duke of Halifax placed under the table instantly clenched into fists, and he wanted to have a seizure but couldn't, and he didn't know how uncomfortable it was.
