Only on the day when I do not practice sin will I know sin, and in the same way, as long as I live, I cannot understand life, and time is a mystery because I have not yet transcended time. Only death can teach me the meaning of life.

– Otto Weininger (Austrian philosopher)

"Hamilton, do you think that with our current strength, we can resist the forces that Bai Feng left in the province of Bronjansson?" The Marquis of Bedouin, who was about to move, summoned his most trusted confidant, Earl Hamilton, to the Governor's Palace, which he had been running for many days.

"Your Excellency the Governor, the weapons and equipment we received from the Fire Legion are only enough to arm the 10,000 most loyal escorts, and the remaining 9,000 or so guards do not have enough weapons and equipment to reequip for the time being, so we must prepare weapons and equipment for them first. ”

Because of the trust and reuse of the Marquis of Bedouin, the Earl of Hamilton, who rose to become more than 10,000 people under one person in the province, has now taken charge of the army in place of the Marquis of Bedouin, and the escort force of nearly 20,000 is all in charge of the Earl of Hamilton alone.

"With 10,000 well-equipped guards and more than 9,000 auxiliary guards, can't they still deal with the city defense army left by Bai Feng and composed of only 3,000 recruits?"

"Your Excellency the Governor, Bai Feng has left us in Brojancson Province not only the three thousand soldiers of the city defense army in the capital!" Earl Hamilton, who knew a lot about military affairs, complained in his heart that the Marquis of Bedouin did not know how to pretend to understand, and explained very respectfully:

"In addition to the 3,000 city defense troops stationed in the capital, Bai Feng also has 1,000 city defense soldiers in the three counties of Ambrandt, Gap, and Lemonier, and more importantly, the 30,000 soldiers of the Fire Legion outside the capital city are all under Bai Feng's command, just like the 6,000 city defense army. ”

"Are you worried that the army of the three divisions of the Fire Legion outside the city will choose to help Bai Feng and become our enemy?" After a slight contemptuous smile, the Marquis of Bedouin said confidently: "You can rest assured of this, Eder They don't have the courage at all!"

After seeing the successive compromises of Eder and others, the Earl of Hamilton agreed with the Marquis de Bedouin's statement, but he still did not dare to gamble with his own life, knowing that any gamble is always a possibility of losing, and there is never a permanent winner in the casino.

Moreover, for the Earl of Hamilton at that time, even if the Marquis of Bedouin could successfully expel the forces of Bai Feng from the province of Brojansson, it would not be a good thing for him, and without the threat of Bai Feng, could the Marquis of Bedouin still pay so much attention to him?

Taking 10,000 steps back, even if the Marquis of Bedouin was still willing to pay attention to Bai Feng's forces after he expelled him, would Bai Feng, who had a heavy army, really sit back and watch his forces be expelled from Broyangson Province? If Bai Feng led a large army to return to Brojansson Province, what would he do?

In the final analysis, the Marquis of Bedouin is the governor of Brockians, who was appointed by Charlemagne himself, even if Bai Feng led the army to 'kill' Broughyanson Province, no one can threaten the life of the Marquis of Bedouin;

Thinking of this, Count Hamilton seemed to see the proud soldiers and fierce generals under Bai Feng's command, surrounding the luxurious family mansion he had newly bought, and then under Bai Feng's order, he slaughtered himself and all the members of his family.

Earl Hamilton, who was gradually breaking out in a cold sweat behind his back, admonished the Marquis of Bedouin with a sincere face: "Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case, if Eder and they choose to help Bai Feng, then we will really lose all the games if we make a mistake!"

"This ......" Marquis Bedouin, who was not very confident, was persuaded by Earl Hamilton, and the slightest thought of challenging Bai Feng head-on that had just been born in his heart was dispelled.

The change in the expression of the Marquis of Bedouin naturally could not hide the Earl of Hamilton, who had been quietly watching him, and the Earl of Hamilton, who had advised the Marquis of Bedouin for the benefit of his own family, looked at the Marquis of Bedouin, who looked unwilling, and suggested softly:

"Your Excellency the Governor, not confronting Bai Feng head-on for the time being doesn't mean that we can't take the opportunity to weaken Bai Feng's power in Brojansson Province;

"Rising and descending?" As soon as the Marquis of Bedouin, who was a little excited, heard that Earl Hamilton had a way to weaken Bai Feng's power in the province of Bronjansson, he suddenly came to his senses, and he eagerly asked Earl Hamilton: "What good way do you have, tell me quickly!"

"Didn't Bai Feng apply for the title of Imperial Nobleman for the officials at all levels he left behind, and we can resubmit this application to His Majesty the Emperor, and let His Majesty the Emperor canonize these officials as Imperial Nobles......"

Before Count Hamilton could finish speaking, the angry Marquis of Bedouin interrupted him extremely rudely: "Hamilton, are you loyal to me, or are you an undercover agent sent by Bai Feng? Are you weakening Bai Feng's strength? You are obviously strengthening his power!"

The dumbfounded Earl Hamilton looked blankly at the indignant Marquis of Bedouin, and his heart was almost like to cry without tears! Who doesn't know that he, Hamilton, is the number one eagle dog of your Marquis of Bedouin; if your Marquis of Bedouin falls, he Hamilton will definitely be the first to be unlucky!

Fortunately, this is not the first time that Earl Hamilton has encountered this kind of thing, and Earl Hamilton, who is used to it, just sighed silently in his heart, and then continued to analyze for the Marquis of Bedouin without changing his face:

"Your Excellency the Governor, from a legal point of view, the new nobles who have been granted the title of Imperial nobility by His Majesty the Emperor will be given a fief of their own in order to run their own family, and we may take this opportunity to move Bai Feng's cronies out of the province of Bronjancson. ”

Marquis Bedouin, whose eyes lit up, said in an excited tone: "You mean, I ask His Majesty the Emperor to canonize Bai Feng's cronies as imperial nobles, and then divide them into other provinces of the empire, so that the positions they vacant will be appointed by me!"

The Marquis of Bedouin, who had a great imagination, had already sketched out a beautiful blueprint for the future in his mind when he said this, and at that time, he would no longer be the empty governor of the province of Brojansson, but the feudal official in charge of a province of the empire!

"Your Excellency the Governor-General!" Seeing that the Marquis of Bedouin understood what he meant, the Earl of Hamilton gave him a timely blow.

"Haha, I will submit an application to Your Majesty tonight, and when Your Majesty's order comes, I will see what else Bai Feng has to do!" the Marquis of Bedouin, who was in a good mood, laughed uncontrollably, and then promised to the Earl of Hamilton, who made this suggestion:

"Hamilton, I am very satisfied with your performance all along, and after Bai Feng's cronies are transferred, the officials at all levels in Le Monnier County will be appointed by you!"

The Marquis de Bedouin's promise was basically equivalent to handing over the entire county of Lemonier to the Earl of Hamilton, and the overjoyed Earl of Hamilton immediately thanked him excitedly: "Your Excellency the Governor, we, the Hamilton family, are loyal to you and your family to the death!"

"No, that's what you deserve. The Marquis de Bedouin, who was skilful at his command, said: "As long as you are loyal to me, and not as timid-minded as some people do, I will not treat my loyal followers badly." ”

Earl Hamilton, who had an instant understanding in his heart, cautiously reported to the Marquis of Bedouin: "Your Excellency the Governor, Count Abraham has been very calm lately, and is responsible for monitoring his secret agents to make sure that there is no direct or indirect connection between him and Bai Feng. ”
