Chapter 139: Plans
Leon wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't say anything, and he drooped his head and was silent.
And all this fell into Ron's eyes, although he could see that Sean must be hiding something, but he couldn't say anything about the current situation, and he was thinking about whether he could come to the rescue. After all, Owen had also helped the royal family before, although he didn't know the reason, but Owen must have a purpose in doing so.
What Ron didn't know was that Owen actually helped the royal family only because the sandworms dug through the underground of the Holy Capital and let the Holy Capital fall, and he felt guilty, and there was no other reason for him.
"Ron-sama, you're back. ”
Gulai seemed to be short, but his steps were fast, and he came to everyone in the blink of an eye. When he saw Ron's army of tens of thousands of harpys following behind them, he was also secretly frightened.
Ron actually knew that this formation was arranged by Gu Lai when he discovered this enchantment array, because there were too many shadows of the magic circle he left behind, and the people who could arrange the magic circle he invented in this world may be except for a few of his apprentices, and now it is Gu Lai.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that Gu Lai would be able to master the simple magic circle he handed over to this level in less than a year, and he could be regarded as having a lot of talent in runes.
Behind Gulai was a team of city guards who came to check the situation, inexplicably a large-scale unknown creature appeared in the sky, where can the city garrison in charge of this area sit still, on the way to investigate, they happened to meet Gulai, so they came together.
At this time, they were dumbfounded when they saw Gulay's respectful attitude towards Ron. They may not have heard of who Qulai is before, but the last half a month can be described as thunderous. Not only was he treated with the highest level of hospitality from the Duke of Gillant's Palace, but even the Rune Master Association, which had never taken anyone in his eyes, respected him, and his identity naturally went without saying.
And such a person is so respectful to a teenager who seems to have just come of age, could it be that this teenager is a great person.
But even those city garrisons can't figure out what kind of big people can have such treatment, after all, now that the Saint-Franc Empire is in turmoil, the big men of the original royal family are probably now reduced to the level of merchants and ordinary people.
"Captain Garulu of the 3rd Regiment of the Fordshire City Garrison, please report your identity!" said a soldier in silver armor who stepped forward and came to the crowd. This is his duty, no matter what the other party is.
had to be investigated first, even if there was a large army standing behind the other party, he still straightened his waist, and his momentum was not lost at all.
But when Paul introduced the identity of the group, Garulu was stunned. He would never have imagined that he would only see so many big people in one day, and these high-ranking people were something he had never dared to think of before.
"Captain Garruru, you're doing a good job, keep on guard. "Paul, as the commander of the army, may be one level higher than Garuru in military rank, which is the level of a captain, but he is already a baron, and it is not comparable to these civilian-born soldiers.
"Yes!" Garuru replied, and continued to patrol with the group of soldiers behind him, but each of them had a proud smile on their faces, feeling that today's events were enough for them to brag about for a long time.
Paul didn't show much politeness, and led Ron to Fordshire.
The Harpy army did not follow Ron, and the county was already so crowded that it was impossible to accommodate an army of 10,000 men. And that kind of town-style living environment was not suitable for them, and the old patriarch led the people directly to the cliff where the Gilant Castle was located outside the city, preparing to use it as a temporary foothold. And Ron also wrote a letter himself, lest the Duke think he was doing things too inauthenticly.
But Ron thought too much, the current Duke of Gilant's palace is actually just a symbol, most of the time the Duke of Gilant will work in the lord's mansion of Fordshire, and in the last half a year, in order to make Fordshire catch up with the development that has fallen, he can be said to have broken his heart. Fortunately, Faemon helped him, and the father and son cooperated tacitly, but they put Ford County in order.
At the same time, because of the resurgence of the demon world, after reaching a consensus with the royal family, the entire Southern Regions is secretly accumulating strength to avoid accidents. Simply, the past six months have been a little effective, so that the Southern Regions can still resist the attack of the Eastern Regions coalition forces in this war.
In the city lord's mansion, Duke Gillant's fingers tapped rhythmically on the table, and there were several extraordinarily dressed nobles sitting next to the long conference table, but each of them had a gloomy look on their faces, and they looked like they were about to come in a catastrophe.
"Duke Girant, now that the royal family is gone, why don't we also go with the Western Regions and the Eastern Regions, so as not to prevent the Southern Regions from being invaded by war. A chubby Zhongnan man, wearing a fur hat that did not match his figure, said worriedly.
"Pama, Rogue County is also a big county town in the Southern Regions, and you have been the city lord for so many years, can't you even see this bit of power?"
The tall man, with his hands folded in front of his chest, teased with a sneering face.
"Can't you see it? What else can you see with your walnut-sized brain? Tell me what you see. Pama's face turned red, and he hated being ridiculed the most. This tall and thin man is the county guard of Philo County, the two county towns are only hundreds of miles apart, and they often quarrel over some resources and belong to the land, and they have not dealt with each other all year round, and others have long been accustomed to their-for-tat.
"Hehe, I'll admit it, I'm happy to explain it to you. In fact, it doesn't matter if we surrender now or not, it's actually the same. This matter has progressed to this point, and no one has a way out. Now that the royal family is obviously no longer good, the general trend has gone, the east and west regions occupy an absolute dominant position, the cake is so big, everyone wants to take the big share, do you think they will allow us to go in and get a piece of the pie?"
Everyone frowned when they heard the tall and thin man's words, but they never said a word.
"The division of forces in the Western Regions to attack us is the best example. The territory of the Northern Regions is limited, and it is not enough to divide the eastern and western regions. And the Southern Regions became their best target. The extent to which they can occupy the interests of the Southern Regions will be crucial for their forces to regain control of the Saint-Franc Empire. Seeing that everyone didn't speak, the thin and tall man continued to talk eloquently, "The Eastern Regions coalition forces are now besieging us but not attacking, in fact, they are waiting for the army from the Western Regions to come, they don't want to be this praying mantis, and they will be picked up by the yellow finch in the Western Regions." ”
"Hehe, then according to what you say, in fact, if we surrender the Eastern Regions Alliance now, we can in turn be able to put the army on the Western Regions side, and then the entire Southern Regions will be under the jurisdiction of the Eastern Regions, and the Eastern Regions will unify the entire St. Fran Empire, and we will not be able to eat meat at that time, and we will always be able to drink some soup, right?" Pama said unto be outdone, obviously sneering at the thin and tall man's words.
"Well, let's just say that you have no brains, you don't believe it. The thin and tall man shook his head with his hands and sighed, and there were also a few nobles around him with puzzled expressions on their faces, who seemed to have the same idea as the fat man Pama, but for the sake of face, he was afraid that he would say the wrong thing and become the laughing stock of others. At this time, it is enough to have a bird, and naturally someone will come to solve the puzzle, and they will be happy to be silent.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him expectantly, the thin and tall man suddenly felt a sense of superiority in his heart, and said: "Actually, there is one thing that everyone hasn't figured out, as an empire, how many rulers are there?"
As soon as these words came out, the faces of several nobles showed suddenly bright expressions, and they seemed to have figured out a lot of things at once. But there are still a few people who don't know why, frowning, and seem to be interested in this
