Chapter 158: Enemies and Friends
Wren sat back in the car, and Osilia followed silently.
The windshield of the car was pierced by the gunman, but the body was not damaged, and the driver was not injured, but was slightly frightened and quickly returned to normal.
The silver-clad knights followed the car and returned the way they came, and the onlookers let out a mocking roar as if they had won a victory against a foreign enemy.
"It was a good opportunity. ”
Osilia suddenly spoke up and said, "Rosa Loggers' strength is not weak, but I can deal with him, there is no need to back down like this, it will make the Mordu nobles doubt your determination." ”
Wren could hear the displeasure in her words.
Master Anxi sent himself to Modu in order to attract the attention of the Modu nobles, and to make things as big as possible, and it was best to turn Modu upside down, so that the enemy would expose some problems.
If you had just done it with Rosa Logos, you would have achieved your goal.
Out of the corner of her eye, Wren glanced at the invisible iridescent dragon, her expression even colder than before, obviously, she thought she was scared just now.
"I have my own considerations. He said a word, but did not explain it in detail.
Osiria didn't ask any more questions.
Wren could tell that this student of the Holy Soul Wizard had a little lower on himself.
He didn't care.
As a chess piece, he is self-aware and has never thought about jumping out of the chess game, but he is unwilling to be completely manipulated like a marionette, and rushes forward without brains.
Doing so may please Master Anzai, but it also puts yourself in great danger, and in the end you lose both your money and your money.
Wren also had his own ambitions, and Glamorgan was an excellent territory, one of the few in the entire empire in terms of geographical location and economic value.
He not only wants to be a pawn, but also really holds this territory in his hands.
Then, you must not act recklessly.
The Great Teacher taught us that who is our enemy and who is our friend is the first question of the struggle.
The seven local lords of Modu are obviously not monolithic, and they can't all be treated as a whole, and their positions must be clarified.
The most complicated thing in the world is the human heart, and it is very difficult to distinguish the position of others, but you have the eyes of the soul, and you can easily judge the opponent's attitude towards yourself and the enemy, and if you don't make good use of it, you are a fool.
After making clear their interests and demands, we should win over a group, crack down on a group, and divide a group.
The attitude of Rosa just now is very interesting.
Wren thought to himself: "Looking for an opportunity to contact Rosa, maybe Viscount Stonde is a target that can be wooed." ”
The car was soon back near the pier, where there was a bridge over the El Hierro, and after the bridge, the Earl of Glamorgan's domain.
Prior to Wren's arrival, the realm had been without a lord for more than sixty years.
According to imperial law, after the death of a lord, the title and fief are taken over by the descendants of the direct line, and if the direct bloodline is severed but there is a side branch, then the lord is loyal to the object, such as a duke, and chooses an heir from the side branch.
If there is no allegiance, the territory will be reclaimed by the Empire and become a direct territory of the Empire, never again the domain of the new nobles.
In the history of the empire, most of the feudal nobles died out in this way.
There were originally more than a dozen lords in the Modu region, but now there are only seven left, and those nobles who have declined or disappeared, their fiefs are theoretically under the direct control of the empire.
However, the aristocracy of Modu is too powerful, and the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake.
The imperial officials sent by the consuls parachuted in could not fight the nobles at all, and they were basically hollowed out, and the territory was actually controlled by the surrounding nobles and annexed in another way.
The same is pretty much true of Glamorgan.
Currently, the governor of the realm is nominally appointed by the Duke of Silverstar, but in reality, this governor is an elected person chosen by the local nobles of Mordu.
If you want to take over the territory, you must take the right to govern it from the governor.
Wren checked the practices of the previous Earls of Glamorgan, and the first step was to take out the documents canonized by the Duke of Silver Star and ask the governor to step down and hand over the territory.
This is supported by the laws of the Empire, but the Governor will not easily give up, delay with various reasons, and even deny the authenticity of the document, and directly refuse.
This manager generally doesn't have much strength in his own right, but he is protected by a large number of guards, and there is no shortage of legendary transcendents, and it is difficult to force the other party to give way.
The first seven Earls of Glamorgan, canonized by the Duke of Silver Star, were all helpless.
Only when the previous earl, the legendary wizard, found an opportunity to kill the governor directly, and he succeeded in regaining the sovereignty of the territory.
This is only the first step, after becoming a lord, you have to rule, collect taxes, enforce the law, and administer these things, even if the legendary wizard has absolute strength, relying on himself alone, it is a mess and a mess.
At the same time, they also have to face the counterattack of the Modu nobles.
All kinds of open guns and hidden arrows, can not relax at any time, the legendary wizard has been very cautious, but he was still seriously injured by the assassin, forced to leave the territory, and all his previous efforts were wasted.
Wren looked at the silver-armored knights outside the car, plus Mondba and the Secret Fire Guard, there were only twenty-six people in total.
With such a small number of people, it is impossible to rule the territory.
You don't have to think about it to know that the Duke of Silver Star is not expecting that she is really likely to receive the Glamorgan Lord, she is just cooperating with Master Anxi's plan.
Otherwise, at least hundreds of silver-armored knights will have to be dispatched, as well as a large number of civilian personnel.
Of course, this is just speculation, the mind of the Holy Soul Wizard is not something that ordinary people can figure out, and maybe there will be more support from the Duke of Silver Star in the future.
Wren thought for a long time, and the buildings outside the car window gradually became shorter and less dense.
This is already close to the outskirts of the city.
He opened the map and glanced at it, and suddenly said in a loud voice, "Wait a minute, let's go from Bishui Street." ”
The voice reached the two knights who were opening the way in front of them, who were able to recognize the way, but hesitated when they heard Wren's order, and looked at Pansir.
Blue Water Street is the seat of the lord of the Glamorgan, there is a huge castle, because it is built on the only hill in the territory, a cut higher than the surrounding area, and there is a small green river at the foot of the mountain, so it is called the Blue Water High Castle, the successive Earls of Glamorgan have lived in it, which is equivalent to the administrative center, and is now the office of the governor.
As soon as Wren arrived in Modu, he rushed straight to the blue water high fort, and if he wanted to attack directly on the spur of the moment, he might be wiped out.
Osiria's voice rang out, "I don't support you doing this. ”
Pansil stepped over the window and whispered, "Your Excellency?"
"I just wanted to stop by and have a look. Wren explained with a smile.
Pansil didn't look like he was impulsive, so he was relieved, and the knight in silver saw her nod slightly before moving on, and the car and the team changed direction and headed for the clear water road.
