Section 34 The Territorial Controversy for Carter's Rise

For the young Duke Carter, although he has not thought too far into the future, the situation does not allow him to slack off at all, and Knight urgently needs a new heroic leader to save his people.

Odosa's elimination officially kicked off the struggle for power between Carter and Cologne, and what was once a private contest turned into a head-to-head-for-tat.

In the hall of the Dragon City Palace, over the ownership of Wucheng and Huiyuan's territory, Cologne and the people in Carter's camp quarreled endlessly, making the tension for a while and the atmosphere was very unharmonious.

Cologne said coldly: "Wucheng and Huiyuan territories are the closest to our sunny waters, but they are the farthest away from Dragon City, and these two territories are the most difficult to guard. Now that you have Neddo and Ritunburg, you should be content and not let you take all the benefits. ”

Dimis replied without flinching: "What do you mean by all the benefits? Nedor and Ritunburg were the ones we had worked so hard to build, and they should have belonged to Lord Duke Carter. Wucheng and Huiyuan territories are the territories left over from our old kingdom, of course, the lords must be arranged reasonably, how can they be directly accepted by the Dragon City King alone. You also said that these two territories are the farthest away from Dragon City, and the slightest mistake will fall into the hands of barbarians. And do you have so many men under the Dragon City King? Do you manage so many territories? ”

Cologne replied expressionlessly: "I don't care, that's my business, you don't have to worry about this." ”

Dimiss sneered: "Joke, this is the territory of our Knights, not your personal property of King Cologne, do you say we should worry about it." ”

Cologne was furious, got up and pointed at Dimis and scolded: "Presumptuous, is it you Dimis in charge of this Dragon City?" Is it that I'm not mad in Cologne, and you're really lawless? ”

Dimis also got up and scolded angrily: "Cologne, don't think that we don't know what you've done, we just don't care about you because of your identity as the King of Dragon City, I hope you can stop a lot of things, everyone's eyes are bright, don't destroy your future." ”

Cologne was so angry that he stretched out his hand and pointed at Carter, and asked angrily, "Carter, how did your people talk to me, did they come to settle old accounts with me today?" ”

Carter coughed and shook his head at Dimis, who sat down angrily.

Seeing that Carter still didn't speak, Cologne also sat down, lowered his anger and asked, "Duke Carter, why don't you say something, what do you mean by falling to the ground without saying a word?" ”

Carter nodded, and said calmly: "How can I say it, we really need a more fair way to deal with Wucheng and Huiyuan Territory, but this does not necessarily have to be rewarded to our people, but it can't all be given to Lord Dragon City alone." ”

Cologne pondered and asked, "What do you think you have to offer?" ”

Carter replied, "I have a compromise proposal, Lord Spartt has a long reputation, and it is time to reward him." I propose to promote Lord Spartt to the rank of Earl, and to reward Lord Spartt with the territory of Wucheng. As for Huiyuan, it is too far away, relatively close to Yuguan and the royal capital, and may be lost at any time, and the land in Huiyuan's territory is barren, and there is nothing to fight for, so it is better to reward it to Lord Basel. As for why it was given to Lord Basel, I don't need to tell you about it, right? ”

Cologne's face twitched after hearing this, Spartt was his own son, and Cologne naturally had no opinion on giving him the territory of Wucheng. But for Basel, the world knows that he is a man of Carter's command, but Basel's father is the nephew of the Empress of the Old Kingdom, and his father Retus was once the honorary Marquis of the royal capital. Basel was originally a close confidant of Prince Reilton, and the nobles who followed the prince are now very supportive of Basel, and with Basel's recent excellent performance in the defense of Rytunburg, it is imperative that he be rewarded.

However, although Carter's suggestion was very good, Cologne knew that he could not give in at this time, if he, the king of the dragon city, could not decide the ownership of Kate's territory, then he would be completely vacated by Carter in the future, and the position of the king of the dragon city was like an ornament.

Cologne still objected, saying: "Lord Basel has made great achievements in Ritunburg, and the barren and distant territory of Huiyuan has no value, and the reward is naturally to reward him with the territory of Ritunburg." What I mean is simple, I want you Carter not to interfere with my decisions about these territories that we Nate have controlled. If you want more territory, you can grab it from the barbarians, and the land of Knight that will be fought for in the future will naturally be all arranged by you to arrange the reward. ”

Speaking of which, Cologne is almost in a showdown with Carter's group, which is already the limit of what he can accept.

Carter knew very well that without Odosa as a teammate, Cologne now felt the coming crisis, which was his all-out struggle against the dog jumping over the wall, which angered him and estimated that he would do anything.

Just as Dimis was about to open his mouth to refute it, Carter got up to stop him, and the crowd unexpectedly agreed to Cologne's statement.

Carter then led the group out of the palace and returned to the city of Nedor to begin a new plan.

At Carter's invitation, Mozart rushed to Neddo to discuss the new plan with the others.

In front of everyone, Carter said bluntly: "Cologne has some concerns about us now, and he will definitely find a way to target us next, and we can see the ownership of Wucheng and Huiyuan territory." Cologne will not give us the title of the knight leader, even the Duke of Mozart he did not think about it, in Cologne's eyes all the things of our Knight are his alone. ”

Mozart sneered and said: "It is impossible to get the territory from him for free, this man is insatiable, and engaging in infighting is his forte." ”

Carter looked at Mozart and said, "Yes, so I have no choice but to give in to him for the time being, and do what he wants." But we must not let him be complacent, we must give him a little color to show him how ignorant he is of the decisions he has made. ”

Dimiss pondered and asked, "Lord Carter, do you want to raid other territories?" A slap in the face to Cologne? ”

"That's right." Karton replied: "That's my idea, I want Cologne to know that the territory he can deploy and control is very limited, and the future Knight is not up to him Cologne." ”

Arcel frowned and asked, "But what if Cologne doesn't support our actions?" ”

Dimiss replied directly for Carter: "If he says he doesn't support it, he won't support it?" Now the deployment of materials in the entire Dragon City, as well as the deployment and operation of the army, are all in the hands of Lord Carter, and he has no right to interfere. ”

Arcel continued to ask: "Then what if he is behind his back, do we want to turn against him directly?" ”

Carter calmly replied: "He won't do this, if we want to take Knight's lost territory, this is what all Knight people want to do the most, if Cologne dares to stop this, then no one will want to follow him in the future, I really expect him to do this." ”

Mozar nodded and said, "It makes sense, what kind of cooperation do we need from Hwaseong, just ask Lord Carter to give you direct orders." ”

Carter replied, "Okay." Our next goal is to capture Risburg, which is what all of us Knight share. But if we go directly to attack Reesburg like this, it will easily cause a stalemate similar to that of two years ago, which is extremely unfavorable to our Dragon City. But if we can negotiate privately with the Nila and join them in sending an army, and they will be the first to attack the Cobilian territory and attract the attention of the barbarians, then we can take the opportunity to take Rysburg in one fell swoop. ”

Mozart was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "United Nila?" But the Nila are also our enemies, so why should they cooperate with us? ”

Carter replied, "Just by acknowledging that they have Syllon Territory, if they can take Cobilon, we will also recognize their ownership of Cobilon Territory." ”

Mozart smiled slightly, nodded again and again, and praised: "Well, wonderful." If so, then our future becomes very promising, and no matter how powerful the barbarians are, it will be difficult for them to withstand the toss of our two forces. ”

However, Xiao Daocheng suddenly opened his mouth and questioned: "Lord Carter, is this inappropriate?" Reesburg is our Knight land, but Seoul and Cobillon are also our Knight land, if we admit that the Nila people own Seoul and Cobillon, how will we explain to the Knight people in the future? ”

Carter said calmly: "No need to explain, after we get rid of the barbarians, we will go back and retake Cobilon and Seoul, and then everyone will understand why we did this." ”

Dimis smiled happily after hearing this, and he said with great satisfaction: "Well, at this time and that time, bow your head when you should bow your head, as long as it is for our good good, all the sacrifices are worth it." When we are strong enough, we can regain everything we have lost. I now understand why the Northland signed a peace oath with Warkass, it's the same thing. ”

"Not bad." Carter replied seriously: "The Northland's approach reminds me that if we want to deal with the barbarians, we must unite all the forces that can be combined, not only against our Knight people, but also the Nila people and the Beijon people can also be borrowed. When we Knight people are facing an existential crisis, we don't care so much about it, we can put aside the glory of reputation or something for the time being, and survival is our greatest goal. Only by living can we become strong in the future, and only then can we hope to regain the dignity and glory of our hunger-tolerant people. ”

After listening to Carter's words, everyone nodded in agreement, and even Miro, who had never spoken, said with a smile: "That's right, that's the truth." Just like the battlefield of the kingdom in the past, our knight army paid attention to morality, refused to use traps and traps to kill, and the old knights were extremely pedantic, making us passive everywhere in the battlefield. ”

Kard chimed in: "Yes, Miro-sama is right, we must pay special attention to this in the battlefield, and do not blindly follow the so-called justice and morality. ”

Moza nodded and said, "Okay, that's it." I've had some dealings with the Nila people, so I'll leave it to me to negotiate with them about joining forces with them. Although I can't guarantee that I will be able to convince them, according to their habits, I am still 80% sure. ”

Carter calmly replied, "Eight achievements are enough, then we will wait for the good news of Lord Duke." ”

Mozart got up with a smile, slowly bowed goodbye to everyone, and then returned to Hwaseong to prepare for the mission of Nila.
