"Damn, man. The lord picked up a fried sausage and stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it vigorously, the oily meat mud churning between his lips and teeth, "What's the matter with this deflated three?"

He didn't believe that Prince Schmidt had come in order to deliberately disgust himself.

It's not that Richard is so naïve and careless in trusting outsiders who don't have deep relationships.

In fact, he knew in his heart that betrayal and conspiracy constituted at least half of the aristocratic world. Anyone who dares to take the tacit understanding of the past as a guarantee for the future, this kind of fool will definitely not survive three pages in the history books.

Nowadays, the world is ironic - there are very few people who claim to be noble, but most of the bad water in their stomachs is richer than ordinary people.

However, no matter how a person's position changes, his style of acting is often deep-rooted, and it is difficult to change drastically.

Based on the impression he had made in the Holy City of the Vatis, Richard did not believe that he would make such an unruly method.

Besides, there is no need at all - as a local powerhouse that has miraculously risen in the wilderness, Alpine Fort has almost no involvement with any wealthy family, and is as clean as a blank sheet of paper.

As long as this kind of new player in Vanity Fair does not completely choose a side, he will definitely sit left and right to eat dividends, and it is impossible to be deliberately suppressed.

So the lord knew in his heart that that fool should be just a personal act of Se Ling Zhi.

Then again, once Elizabeth's beauty is exposed to the eyes of the world, it is strange not to attract bees and butterflies.

"Are you really impulsive, you will fight as you say, and you are not afraid of offending people?" Prince Schmidt did not hurry to cut the veal steak on the plate.

The arm-thick butter candles burned brightly, and for a moment the entire banquet hall was so quiet that only the soft sound of knives and forks colliding with porcelain could be heard.

Richard pursed his lips, "With the current strength of Gaoshan Fort, do you still need to worry about the consequences when you clean up a deflated San who can't get on the table?"

"Arrogant to the point of course, this kind of words are really hard to hear from other people's mouths. Schmidt picked up the napkin and dipped it on the corner of his lips, "You know - in the last two years, the upper echelons of Pompeii have changed too often and too drastically, and everyone is a little unable to get used to it." ”

"The struggle for power is always thrilling!" his lips glistened in the candlelight, "abandoning the goddess of ice and snow to embrace the holy light means the complete victory of the reformers over the conservatives." The victors need spoils, and the losers need to lick their wounds, so they have to liquidate, expel some, and support some again. ”

"I understand. "The lord has not experienced the taste of political overthrow, but he has observed grazing.

The herd of the mountain fort is quite large, with as many as tens of thousands of heads. In order to ensure that there are no problems in daily operation, a team of more than 100 cattle herds is maintained all year round.

Ganging up is one of the most fundamental instincts of intelligent life, and herding cowherds is no exception.

Not only are they openly and secretly divided into several factions, large and small, but they also fight each other to the death.

When grazing, there are inevitably problems such as animals eating wild grass that they shouldn't eat, or cubs being picked up by wolves. Even occasional storms, it is not uncommon to get lost.

Once a loss occurs, whether it is a human error or an objective cause is basically up to the animal husbandry supervisor to decide.

As a result, in order to improve his status and favor in the eyes of the head of animal husbandry, each cowherd is desperately trying to cover up the mistakes of his own faction, and at the same time desperately exposing the problems of the opposing faction.

There are all kinds of conspirators, wanting to capture and indulge, and using conspiracy to betray, and civil punishment and martial arts. It is more than enough to organize and compile a drama for more than a month, and it must be very exciting.

is such a trivial matter, if it were not for the point where he had to fight and kill people, Richard, who has never been careful, really wouldn't have known.

At first, he thought that there was something wrong with these people, and he directly came to a clearance change. As a result, three or four waves of people watched the flowers in a row, and gave him a change of soup instead of medicine, and there should be no fewer problems.

It's a ridiculous thing to say, the lord of the invincible mountain castle who captured the dragon and slashed the Titans was actually stunned - he couldn't have sent everyone to the guillotine because of this.

In the end, it was Buckland who came up with a set of methods for dividing pastoral areas into yield-only assessments, and finally the cattle herds died down and began to take care of the animals seriously and diligently.

This incident taught the lord a solid lesson.

It turns out that sometimes even if you are strong enough to destroy the world, you may not be able to understand the complex human heart!

As an aside, the Ripper also used this matter as a topic to conduct war games in an attempt to improve the strategic literacy of the officer corps.

The result is very regrettable, when a fight is a fight that can top ten warriors, in front of the cowherds is a group of uncivilized chickens and dogs. It can't be described as a rout, and I don't know how to die!

"The defeat of the war, the victory of mediation, the outbreak of the scourge of the dead, and the assassination of His Majesty Sagre will all lead to a new round of struggle, and some foreign powers will also take the opportunity to intervene. In the light of the orange candlelight, Prince Schmidt's smile was unusually bitter, "It is true that the old saying that power never sleeps, but it is rare to make such a fuss. ”

"Things aren't going well in the palace right now?" Richard pulled out the bottle from the ice bucket and flicked the stopper off his fingers, filling it for himself and the other party.

"Not good, the turmoil breeds too many speculators. Prince Schmidt took the crystal cup and looked at the amber liquor inside, "Until the true face is revealed, it is almost impossible to tell who is the fool who has swelled to the height of the sky." ”

"Well, it seems that at least one has been screened today. The lord looked up and laughed, and continued to ask, "How has Baker been doing?"

"Baker's kid worked hard and often stayed up late into the wee hours of the morning, but he was just starting to get involved in government affairs. Schmidt shook his glass slightly, "But such a complicated situation, even if His Majesty Neo, who is famous for his wisdom, in San Jose, is here, I am afraid it will not be so easy to deal with." ”

He drank the wine in one gulp.

"So I urgently need to know now if the part of the information about the Titan is accurate!"

The burly former cavalry officer stared straight at the lord, his eyes as paranoid as a gambler who had lost his old book, and he gasped, "Don't fool me with any ambiguous words." ”

Richard looked puzzled: "What do you want me to say? Those are all fake? I made them up because I was bored?"

"It's better to be fake, ha, then all is fine, Pompeii can win a period of rectification. But if it's true......" Schmidt slumped back in his chair, his broad palms covering his face, "the gods are on top! This muddy water will become even more muddy!"
