The topography of the Duchy of Essis is almost rectangular. The county of Tulga www.biquge.info in the southwest corner, the city of Essis in the southeast corner, and the three baronies in the north. Vilnius, Tallinn and Minsk, respectively.

The lord of Vilnius was named Chris, and because of his very red nose, he was also called Chris the red nose by the nobles. At this time, in his castle, he is engaged in a dirty py deal.

Ah~~ With a soul-crushing moan, Chris collapsed weakly on the bed, and a man with fine blonde hair and tender flesh fell into his arms panting. The slender white fingers were still drawing circles on Chris's chest full of chest hair, as if reminiscing about the beauty of that moment.

Knock ~ Knock ~ Knock ~ Three heavy knocks sounded.

Chris said lazily, "Who is it?"

Then a voice rang out outside the door. "Lord Baron, Mr. Griffin asks to see you."

Chris slapped the man's buttocks, which provoked the blonde man to sneer. The man then got out of bed, helped Chris get dressed, and then hid in the bedroom cubicle alone.

When everything was done, Chris opened the door and walked out of the room.

Griffin was a man in his mid-fifties, short and bloated. He is also the president of the Vilnius Chamber of Commerce. Before Allen ordered the elimination of the guilds in the city, it was these various guilds that controlled the operation of the city, and the nominal rulers and nobles did not manage the development of the city at all, except for sending a group of tax collectors to collect taxes every quarter.

"Lord Baron!" Griffin saw Chris walk in and immediately stood up to say hello.

Chris nodded casually and said, "Is there anything Mr. Griffin looking for me?"

When Griffin heard this, he immediately took two steps closer and said, "My lord, I came here this time specifically to solve the crisis of adults."

"Oh? I don't understand, I have neither enemies nor diseases, what danger do I have?"

"My lord, we have also been friends for many years. Do you play pantomime at this time and under it? Isn't it clear what Lord Ouranos means? Word has spread that he had fallen out with the nobles in the city of Essis. If you look at the example of Baron Lyon, the Count of Lyon followed Ouranos to death many times, how do you see his ending now? Therefore, if you don't wake up at this time, I am afraid that the glory of our ancestors will be ruined in a hundred years!"

Griffin spoke eagerly, showing that Chris was very considerate. However, Chris just glanced at Griffin lightly, as if he was not interested at all, and asked coldly, "Then what do you think I am going to do?"

Griffin immediately said, "Sir, I think we should mobilize now and take a step before Ouranos can do anything to us."

"You're trying to persuade me to rebel. Aren't you afraid that I'll put you to death for treason right now?" Chris said coldly.

"My lord, it's all for my lords."

"Humph! I don't think it's all so. Chris said mockingly. Recently, there has been news from Essis that all of you chambers of commerce are going to report to work. You're afraid that Ouranos will cut off your wealth, aren't you?"

"Lord Baron, this is what we are worried about. But that's also the basis of our cooperation, isn't it? If you think about it, Ouranos has openly broken with the nobles without knowing it, and it is clear that he has not been running for a few days. As long as the Lord ascends to the top at this time, he can become the leader of everyone, and once he defeats Ouranos, I look at the title of Duke of Essis, which is definitely in the Baron's pocket. ”

"This... Griffin's words were full of temptation, and Chris seemed hesitant. "But Ouranos is strong and strong, and with my little strength, I'm afraid it's not bad."

However, Chris's concern did not hurt Griffin in the slightest, but instead he smiled as expected.

"Lord Baron, don't worry. I've already figured it out for you. Since Ouranos broke with the nobles, the other nobles in the kingdom hated him to the core. We can contact Your Majesty and rely on foreign aid. In the same way, we can contact other nobles in the Duchy of Essis. For example, the son of Baron Lyon, Lord Adrian, must have received a positive response. ”

"And as far as I know, Ouranos will soon send an army to Lorraine, and when the time comes, we will take the city of Essis in one fell swoop, while he will lead his army. No matter how powerful Ouranos is, he will be powerless. And in order to support the Baron's righteous deeds, the guilds of our major cities have prepared a sum of funds, as long as the Baron agrees to do something, they will immediately support you. ”

Griffin's plan is very good, and if he can really do what he says, he really has a good chance of winning. Chris was already dissatisfied with Allen's policies, and he believes that there must be more people who have long been dissatisfied with Allen. If you really connect, maybe it can be done?

And the Duke. The Chris family has also been around for hundreds of years, fighting around the mainland, taking refuge in this and refuting in that, and is still a baron. If you really want to become a duke, isn't that a step to the sky?

Seeing Chris's movements, Griffin continued, "Lord Baron, there won't be this shop in this village anymore. When Ouranos becomes stronger, we will never have a chance again!"

Chris thought about it for a long time, and finally couldn't resist the temptation to step from baron to duke. Nodding his head, "Griffin, I agreed." I need to get the support you said right away, otherwise I won't be able to help. ”

Seeing that Chris agreed, Griffin was overjoyed, and immediately nodded and smiled: "Don't worry, Lord Baron, I'll wait for your words!"

Now that the two sides have reached a cooperation agreement, they have moved quickly. Griffin was a representative of the chambers of commerce in various cities, and what he said naturally represented the meaning of the chambers of commerce. Within a few days, a cart with a cart of gold coins, grain, grass, weapons and armor flew into Chris's castle.

And Chris was not idle, and immediately mobilized his knights and began to recruit a large number of strong men to enrich his army.

It didn't take long for Chris to discover a problem. That is, after a few days of arresting the strong man, I found that there was a shortage of manpower. After all, it was a barony, and it was not well developed, and only a few towns around the castle barely existed. City? Don't be funny, a rude aristocrat like Chris knows all day long how it is possible to form a city in the fish and meat country.

In desperation, Chris could only requisition women and children together, anyway, these women who are five big and three thick are usually the main labor force, and they seem to have two strengths, not much weaker than men at all.

At the same time, Chris wrote to the surrounding nobles and contacted them to start an incident together. With the help of Griffin, he delivered news to George VI and Queen Gloria, and worked hard to compile a big net, waiting for Alan to throw himself into the net. (To be continued.) )
