Chapter Seventy-Five: The Conspiracy of the Land of Thorns

Meanwhile, a secluded manor.

"Lord Duke, how long are you going to keep us under house arrest, the elven slave incident has passed" A nobleman from the western part of the Thorn Realm looked coldly at Vnovich Ford, Marquis of Thorns.

"Haha, Count Moses, is this impatient, you must know that there is another group of envoys from the royal capital, and they are now in my living room" Vonovich looked at Count Moses with a smile, as well as the nobles and lords around him, large or small.

They are all nobles who have purchased and played with the forest elves before, and according to rumors outside, they have all been imprisoned by Vnovic and are ready to be handed over to the forest elves to dispose of, so as to maintain a good relationship with the elven kingdom.

But at this time, it seems that these little nobles have ruddy faces, not only have they not been oppressed and abused, but they are living very well except that their personal freedom is restricted.

"So what the hell are you trying to do, we've been here for almost a month"

"yes, we can't stay in this little manor forever."

"That's right, this matter has to be settled," the little nobles around him echoed.

Fnovich smiled even more, and said calmly: "If you want to leave here, you can, I promise not to stop you, unless you can hide from those envoys and return to their respective territories, and then hide in the shadows forever, and promise not to be discovered by our King Winston."

"......" There are always many nobles who dare not speak up for an instant, and if they are found to have escaped without permission, they will be executed directly, but if they are handed over to the forest elves...... It is estimated that he will also be put to death.

This kind of thing was difficult to negotiate in front of that Bright Blue King, who had long wanted to suppress the aristocratic power of their remote territory, but there was no suitable excuse.

"Then what shall we do" Count Moses bowed his head and asked Duke Xiangnovich, knowing that he had a way to help these nobles who were about to fall, otherwise he would not have been polite to them little nobles this month.

"What should I do~ There is still a way, it depends on whether you dare to do it," Fnovic continued.

"Hmph, we are almost already mortal, what else dare not dare" Count Moses said coldly, if it had been before, he would not have dared to do this, but now he has a big fire in his stomach, he doesn't know how he was noticed and arrested by those envoys, and now he has to stay in this small manor all day.

The surrounding nobles nodded one after another, as if they all regarded Count Moses as their main backbone, there was no way, this was the place where his title was the largest.

"Very well, then the way is...... Overthrow this kingdom" Vnovic's deep voice reached everyone's ears, making them feel a thrill.

"What, you're going to rebel!"

"Are you crazy, I don't know if this will be surrounded by all the other nobles?"

"And we don't know where we are, so we're vulnerable to the joint encirclement and suppression of other nobles in the kingdom."

The surrounding nobles said excitedly.

Vonovich snorted coldly: "Don't look at why I started the war, it's not for you, if not, will you still be able to live?"

As soon as the words of "......" came out, the nobles fell silent, yes, if the envoy was handed over to the elf kingdom, they would be killed by the forest elves, but their relatives would be spared, if they escaped, not to mention whether this Fnovich would help them, even if they escaped, they could only live in the shadows all day long, and even their relatives would be affected.

"Why are you helping us?" asked Count Moses as he calmed down first. He didn't believe that Duke Vnovich had a good intention to help them.

There is no evidence from the kingdom that he was directly involved in the elven slave incident, so he is not in the slightest danger, but why would he want to overthrow this kingdom?

"The reason is actually very simple," said Vnovich with a smile, "I want to establish a kingdom under my control in this thorny land, the Kingdom of Thorns, and I need your support, and I will forgive you all your sins."

"Building a country, hehe, it's easy to say, we want to build a country with just our little power" Count Moses sneered, he is at least still an earl, and he is also a well-known figure in the Thorn Territory, and he also has a son who stays in the Royal Capital Yaolan Magic Academy, if he participates in this rebellion, if it succeeds, it is better to say, but only a son will be executed by the kingdom, and there is an eldest son in his own territory who is taking care of things, but if he fails, it is estimated that the whole family will be reduced to slavery, and he does not want to affect everyone in the family for an impossible goal.

Fnovic was a little displeased, he thought that these people who were dying should directly agree to come down, but he didn't expect to hesitate: "Why is it impossible, let me tell you the truth, in fact, the capture of the forest elves was instructed by me"

"What! you actually did it" The surrounding nobles were shocked, they thought it was just some illegal slave caravan and bandits, but they didn't expect it to be Marquis Funovic.

"Then the reason for our arrest......" said Count Moses, gritting his teeth, already understanding something.

"That's right, I secretly informed the Second Potter, and the First Potter Envoy was also stopped by me, in order to delay you and give you more time to commit crimes" Fnovic laughed despite the faces of the nobles around him.

"Hmph, it turns out that this was all arranged by you, we are just pawns in your hands, and the second Potter envoy was also secretly killed by you."

"Haha, one thing you said is wrong, then the Potter envoy did not die, but was secretly imprisoned by me, and the most important thing is that they still think that the assassination of them was the force you secretly cultivated, in case of failure, I can also release them, and then leave the blame on you" As a marquis, how could he not know to leave a way back for himself.

"Okay, very good" Count Moses felt very aggrieved, but helpless, and said in a deep voice: "Then what are our chances of winning, the people of our Thorn Territory may not approve of our rebellion, and the church may not recognize your status as the Thorn Kingdom." What's more, regardless of the Swiss Don Kingdom in the north, if we directly rebel, we will definitely be surrounded and suppressed by the army of the Bright Blue Kingdom and even the Elven Kingdom, the magic of the Bright Blue Royal Magic Legion and the mobility of the Shining Blue Knights, we can't stop this bit of strength at all. ”

Count Moses had accepted the idea of participating in the rebellion in his heart, and successively stated three difficulties in establishing a kingdom. But he needed a reason to convince himself, a hope that would give him hope for a new kingdom.

"Haha, it's worthy of Count Moses, but don't worry, I've already figured out these issues," Fnovi said with a smile, knowing that these nobles wouldn't be obedient if they didn't show off their cards.

"Our Thorn Territory has always been on the northeast border of the Bright Blue Kingdom, bordering the northern kingdom of Swisston, the Flower Language Forest in the east, the Luoxia Mountains in the west and the Emerald River in the south have seriously hindered the communication between the civilians of our Thorn Territory and the other people of the Bright Blue Kingdom, and they don't have a deep sense of identity with the Bright Blue Kingdom, and some people don't even know what the people of the royal family look like, and they know that only we, the nobles of the Thorn Territory."

"As for the church...... After some special channels, I assure you, under the name and surname of my Vanovich Ford, that the Church will recognize our legitimacy as soon as possible, and that the people of the Bright Blue Kingdom will definitely face all kinds of pressure from the Church."

"The Elven Kingdom has taken care of itself, they have sent most of the experienced rangers to Switzerlandton in the north, there must be something wrong inside, and unless it is facing a continental crisis, they generally will not send an army"

"And how do the elves know that we have captured their people, I have secretly spread rumors that this slave incident was secretly instructed by the King of Bright Blue, in order to collect the money of our nobles, and then blame us, and we can also revolt in this name. ”

"As for the Kingdom of Swisston, I have already sent someone to negotiate with them, they have a bad relationship with the Kingdom of Bright Blue, and they are very willing to see the establishment of the Kingdom of Thorns, and when the time comes, they will provide us with personnel assistance when the war starts."

"And in recent years, the Marcus Empire has been a little restless, the Bright Blue Kingdom is always on guard against the surprise attack of the Marcus Empire in the west, and will definitely not mobilize most of our main forces to attack us in this remote place, we can completely resist their attacks by virtue of the terrain advantage"

As soon as these six sentences were finished, the surrounding nobles fell silent, revealing their hearts, they didn't want to die yet, if they could really establish the so-called Thorn Kingdom, they would all be the founding heroes, and their power would definitely be greater than now.

Seeing everyone's expressions, a smile appeared on the corner of Funovic's mouth: "Think about it, I hope you think about your current situation, and there are still many nobles in the Thorn Territory who have not been caught, they must be happy to see you handed over to the Elven Kingdom by the people of the Bright Blue Kingdom, and then divide your territory"

"Well, I promise you," Count Moses led the way, and although he resented that Fonovich had brought him to such a point, it would not necessarily be a bad thing if the rebellion was successful.

"I also participate"

"Please let me join in, I can only gamble" Seeing that the biggest nobleman among them had agreed, they all agreed, and they had already guessed that if they didn't agree, they would be directly executed by Vonovich.

Seeing these nobles expressing their attitudes, Fnovich was in a good mood: "Very good, let me tell you something at the end, I actually got the secret help of a mysterious force, and there are a large number of magicians among them."

"Magicians, a lot of ......," exclaimed a nobleman, knowing that magicians are the most powerful force in war, and if there is a team of magicians to help them defend, the success rate will definitely be greatly increased.

"That's right, but they don't want to reveal too much of their identity, so I'd like to ask you to stay here for the time being, and I'll let you know when the time comes...... Make a big difference!"

All the nobles were silent for a while, nodded and agreed, the news of the magician team seemed to give them a reassurance, you must know that what they lack most in their thorn territory is magicians and knights, knights are okay, the role of cavalry in this surrounding mountainous place is really limited, but magicians are different, a magician legion can often play a role in changing the tide of battle in a tough battle.

Fnovich said goodbye to the nobles and returned to his residence, feeling a sense of joy.

The Duke lay quietly on his seat, breathed a long sigh of relief, looked at the palm of his hand and said calmly: "Power...... Am I finally at the peak of my power?"

There was a deep whip mark in the palm of his hand that could not be erased. It was left over from his youth as a soldier, but it wasn't the enemy, it was his own commander, a squad leader whose name he had forgotten.
