Chapter 17 Good Ministers and Masters

On the wooden couch, the two sat opposite each other and talked eloquently.

"Why did the lord go to the city today?"

After a long conversation, Olmers suddenly asked.

"I went to see Viscount Wallace. Rod didn't hide it, and said directly.

Olmus rubbed his chin in his hand and groaned.

"Lord Rhodes, I don't think it's right at this time. ”

"Presumably your idea is to let that viscount attack Qingyan City from the flank while Qingyan City is at war with the Barren Lands, right? ”

Rhodes nodded and said, "Yes, both of them hold a large number of shares in the Golden Kite Chamber of Commerce, if they can severely damage that Earl of Kilburn, I believe that Viscount will not let go of the opportunity to increase his voice." ”

Olmers nodded, and after a long silence, said, "I don't think this is appropriate. ”

"If that viscount really has a disagreement with the earl, then this move will be successful. But if the two of them secretly colluded, Lord Rhodes would undoubtedly be in the net. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

Rhodes asked, and Olmers gave his considerations and thoughts.

It is true that the two nobles have a lot of small contradictions with each other because of some entanglements of interests, but when looking at this matter from another angle, this is not the case at all.

The two of them belonged to two factions of nobles and supported the two princes.

And this is under the rule of the Grand Duke of Akasugi, the pillar of the military, what if the contradiction between the two of them was deliberately played out to the Grand Duke?

Moreover, Rod talked to him and signed a verbal contract, which invisibly exposed the reality of the Greystone Collar.

During the meeting, Rhodes bluntly said that he needed food and grass.

If the two are secretly in contact.

This was a signal to the Earl of Kilburn, that in the imminent outbreak of war, he could approach step by step, and the Greystone Collar would naturally be victorious.

Olmers went on to express many of his own inferences and opinions.

Rhodes listened quietly, his brows furrowed.

"How can you be sure that the two of them are secretly linked. Rod asked, wondering.

The basis of Olmers's logic is that the two nobles are on the same front.

But as it stands, the Earl of Kilburn is a well-deserved old-school nobleman.

But that Viscount Wallace was an out-and-out up-and-coming.

"It's simple. Olmus didn't sell it, and said slowly:

"Because of the life of the viscount. I once visited the Viscount's Mansion, and the Viscount's food, clothing, food, housing, and transportation were extremely retro. None of this corresponds to his status as a new aristocracy. ”

"Curious, I secretly inquired. It was discovered that the viscount had been secretly in contact with another great nobleman, Archduke Hopton. ”

"And the Grand Duke is an out-and-out old-school nobleman, whose family history predates even before the founding of the Kingdom of Farley. ”

And a closer look at the history of this viscount's fortune shows that there are indeed many irregularities.

"You mean, this Lord Viscount is a pawn in the midst of a new nobleman, and the two of them deliberately disagree in front of the Grand Duke in order to paralyze the crowd?" said Rod.

Immediately, a big event flashed through Rhodes's mind.

If history hasn't changed much.

Two years later, the king of the Kingdom of Farai died, and Grand Duke Akasugi entered Beijing.

The new and old-school aristocrats suddenly attacked the city of Bergas, and a coup d'Γ©tat broke out, and the city was nearly destroyed.

The upheaval also led to the most powerful military taking a heavy hit.

Rod's face changed for a moment, if all these things were connected, then the situation in this Belgas city was far more chaotic than he had imagined.

Has the action against Grand Duke Akasugi begun to be laid out now?

In this way, the timing of Ray III's death is too coincidental.

For a while, his thoughts diverged, and Rhodes even thought of the two most powerful sects in the Farley Kingdom, one inside and one outside.

Rod didn't want to get involved in these things.

His original intention was to entrench a piece of territory, sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and quietly accumulate strength.

But if the old and new nobles have bad intentions against the city of Bergas, they start planning early.

The Earl of Kilburn had tens of thousands of troops, and they would certainly not sit idly by and watch the defeat of Bluerock.

Even if he didn't want to, Rhodes had one foot in the whirlpool.

"Viscount Wallace's belonging is secondary, if the old and new nobles have secretly united, how should we fight this battle?" Rod asked suddenly.

Olmers was also stunned, he jumped out of bed and walked to the map spread out on the table.

Olmers' face became more and more ugly.

The city of Bergas, straddling both banks of the middle reaches of the Onyx River, covers an extremely large area, with fertile land and thriving commerce.

Upstream is the city of the Rhine, which has begun to decline in recent years.

Downstream is the extremely prosperous Greenwater City, which relies on a maritime trade route.

To the east is the Hundred Flowers City, the fief of the eldest princess of the Farley Kingdom.

To the west are Ilburn's Domain, where Clearstone is located, Viscount Wallace's fiefdom, Mivol Woodlands, and Baron Newcastle's Fort Haydn.

and the barren lands that came under Rhodes' rule.

There are also many small lords entrenched in the middle.

The Baron of Newcastle is known for his weakness, and the famous wall-riding faction, who tosses and turns between the old and the new, will not intervene in this war.

If the two nobles split up, the barren land would be in danger.

"That Grand Duke wouldn't sit idly by while these two nobles joined forces. Olmers muttered to himself.

Rhodes walked over to the map and shook his head with a wry smile.

"If we were to go to war with two nobles at the same time, the Grand Duke would be glad to see it. The Earl of Kilburn had a legitimate reason to send troops, and Viscount Wallace's dispatch of troops was not justified, which also gave the Grand Duke an excuse to beat the lords under his rule. ”

In this way, the Earl did not send troops just to avenge his son.

Most likely, revenge is just a pretext.

The presence of a large number of orc armies under Rhodes has alerted the old and new nobles, and if they want to carry out a coup d'Γ©tat, they must eradicate the variables.

For a rainy day.

They wanted to eliminate Rhodes in one fell swoop while he was still on hold.

And if both sides lose, the Grand Duke McCarthy will definitely not miss this God-given opportunity.

Tigers are around.

And these people are just enemies on the surface.

"Olmers, it's too late for you to leave now. Rod said suddenly.

Even without him, Olmus is destined to have a bright future, and there is no need to pull him through this troubled water.

The two looked at each other, and Olmers could see the sincerity in the lord's eyes.

Olmers scratched his head, his smile a little astringent.

"My lord, I can't tell you the truth, Olmers is penniless, and if he leaves here, I'm afraid he will starve to death if he doesn't get far. ”

"If he had left the Greystone Valley for a while, Olmers would have regretted it for the rest of his life. ”

"If the lord does not give up, Olmers is willing to do his part. ”

Olmers shook it to the end, word by word, and said firmly.

Rod straightened his clothes and bowed deeply as well.

"From now on, all the military forces of the Greystone Territory will be decided by the gentleman. ”

"When the army is outside, I give my husband the authority to cut first and then play. ”

Olmers looked up sharply, his heart mixed.

No one understands the power and responsibility of this sentence better than him.

Olmus fell to his knees and bowed his head deeply.

"Yes. ”

Good ministers are easy to obtain, but masters are hard to find.

Once you meet the master, you can succeed
