"I hope so!" Jarl wasn't afraid of the old guys of the Noble Council who would do anything drastic - after all, they had to consider the cost of doing so. Just if you negotiate terms with them, it will inevitably be a little painful.

It's just that all this was completely expected by Alexander, which is why he would have made such a big fanfare before.

"Yar-kun, will you meet them with me?" Alexander said with a smile on his face, making a gesture of please.

"Ha, all this was your plan, Grand Duke Alexander?" Jarl? Beagle looked at the man in front of him with an unkind face and said, It's just a few years since I haven't seen him, this man has such a city, and he has already been reborn from his original appearance.

This made the Swede also have to reconsider his original consideration of Alexander, obviously the former Neva hero's fist has long since been washed away.

"What do you say?" Alexander's smile was infuriating, but Yar could only accept it, this time he had miscalculated, he had wanted to strengthen the momentum and make the angry Novgorodians put pressure on Alexander to accept his terms. But unexpectedly, Alexander, who didn't care about this, moved out those parliamentarians. It turned out that the negotiations between them had always been Alexander's personal act!

This meant that Jarl and Alexander had to face the entire council of nobles whose interests were paramount.

・・・・・・

"Commander, what are we going to do?" The man nicknamed "Cold Wind" slowly walked out of the mansion. At this time, the mercenaries were confronting each other with the escort of the noble council, and Hannes hurriedly walked up and asked what to do.

"Release." The man didn't drag the mud and water, and said categorically.

"Release?" Hannes couldn't believe the order of the regimental commander, they had long known that the Grand Duke and the Novgorod nobles had always been at odds, and to be honest, they were already ready to try.

"Release!" [Cold Wind] repeated it again and turned to leave.

"Captain!" Hannes wanted to say something, but the man in the bronze mask left as cold as his mask.

"Tsk!" Although he was reluctant in his heart, but in the [North Wind Mercenary Group], the power of the head of the regiment is absolute. Hannes is not qualified to object to the refusal. Looking at the soldiers behind him waiting for his order, Hannes had no choice but to wave his hand in frustration and shouted: "Retreat, give way!" ”

Amid the cheers of the citizens of Novgorod, the noble convoy poured into the duke's residence, which, in the opinion of all, was about to change hands again.

The locomotive also slowly drove into the mansion, and the door slowly opened and three tall men walked out, namely Solzhenitsyn, Patriarch Ivalomo and Likarov. It can be said that these three people are the most influential people in Novgorod today. Suddenly, the angry crowd fell silent, and no one dared to be presumptuous.

"Hmph, does that kid Alexander, already have his own private army? It's still so presumptuous, Solzhenitsyn. Patriarch Ivelomo looked at Solzhenitsyn beside him and sneered, this is what Solzhenitsyn has been letting Alexander's way in the past few years, and this man has enough power to fight even against them.

But Solzhenitsyn chuckled indifferently: "You are too sensitive, Patriarch. Since he was given the title of Grand Duke, he should naturally have the corresponding power. Moreover, the stronger Alexander's power, the better it is for us. ”

"I'm afraid that one day you will find out that he is not easy to tame, and once it gets out of control, we can't afford that kind of price." Ivilyo said angrily, in his opinion, people like Alexander who tried to threaten the system were the most dangerous beings.

"That's enough, two." Lykalov interrupted the whispered argument between the two, as the senator of Novgorod, he was the only one who could reconcile the contradictions between the two factions. Party strife may be a normal political phenomenon in times of peace, but in the context of internal and external troubles, it is a matter of great concern to Lykarov.

But there is no way to solve this situation, because Novgorod's citizenship law has long stipulated that nobles over 70 years old will no longer hold official positions, and they will also not be able to directly intervene in government affairs, but will only be responsible for ceremonial matters. Therefore, Lykarov can only use his influence to a limited extent.

Looking at the Novgorodians, the mercenaries of the [North Wind Mercenary Regiment] can only try their best to control themselves, the city-state republics have always been extremely repulsive to foreigners, and because of this, their situation is not very good, especially if Grand Duke Alexander is deposed, then it is very likely to be liquidated by the Novgorodians, which is not an unusual thing in history.

Therefore, now the [North Wind Mercenary Regiment] is firmly on the side of Alexander Neussky. Despite the mercenaries' clearance, there was still tension between them and the noble guard, which consisted of citizens.

"How's it going?" Behind him, Seryosha walked over and asked expressionlessly.

And Hannes could only shake his head helplessly: "I don't know, everything is up to the head of the regiment!" Every time something important happens, that guy from Oginets is not there, I really don't know why the regiment commander pampers him so much every time! Hannes said with some annoyance, if the guy was there, he could at least give himself an idea, but Oginets was different from everyone else. The [North Wind Mercenary Regiment] under the leadership of [Cold Wind] has absolute control over its members, but only that man is not among them, not only does he not have to participate in important member meetings, but even has the power to command the army.

Although no one knew why [Cold Wind] would grant Oginets such a privilege, this man would always step in to solve a crisis in the mercenary group, and most of the time he was always uncertain.

"Let's wait and see! Since the regiment commander said so, then just believe it. Seryosha said calmly.

・・・・・・

The door to the Duke's residence slowly opened, and three men entered, surrounded by the guards, while Alexander Neussky and Yar Beagle had been waiting for a long time. Although only these three people came from the noble council, they were enough to represent all the nobles of Novgorod.

"Ladies and gentlemen of Novgorod, we finally meet again." A disgusting smile appeared on the face of the Swedish man. (To be continued.) )
