Seeing that the five military attachés and the newly arrived temporary lord were about to clash, the three internal affairs officials calmly retreated and hid to the side to show their neutrality.

To put it bluntly, it's the grass on the wall.

And the five military attachés, including Judson, slowly approached Roland.

Generally speaking, territorial officials would not dare to coerce them in this way.

But as soon as the eldest princess Stephanie was absent from the territory all the year round, everything was handled by the eight of them, and over time, they secretly controlled most of the power and assets in the territory, and even secretly cut the power. Now that a temporary lord is parachuted, it will inevitably thin out their power, which makes them extremely uncomfortable.

Second, Roland is a man.

The eldest princess is beautiful and powerful, and it is very likely that she will be the queen in the future, and her ex-husband is dead again, and she is now single, which is an excellent 'investment stock'. If they can get close to the water and get the moon first, they don't dare to say that they are the most powerful people in all of France in the future, but at least they can be ranked in the top ten.

married the eldest princess, and got three things.

And this young white face who didn't know where to run out, if it was the concubine of the eldest princess Xinna, then the affairs of the territory in the future would definitely be under his control, not to mention the power of people, money, and power, and even the current status might not be able to be maintained.

How can this be endured?

In fact, when the steward came to inform them that a temporary lord was coming, they laughed at first.

How can it be!

They managed the territory so well, and nothing went wrong, how could the eldest princess, who didn't care about the troubles in the territory and was staring at the throne, suddenly send someone to drop in.

But the butler's expression was serious.

So they came over to see who was coming.

Then I saw a mage, a little white face.

In fact, it is said that Roland is a little white face, but it is just a slander in their hearts, and mages are equal to nobles, which is the consensus of the human world.

Even if this little white face doesn't have any identity, as long as he is a mage with some strength, then it is a delicious honey egg custard, as long as it is a noble woman, she wants to try the taste.

That's why their reaction is so big.

When they heard Roland say that if they didn't obey, they would be dismissed, they even had murderous intent.

This is directly going to cut off their money rights and kill them.

It's strange if you don't resist.

In fact, Roland didn't want to give people a blow as soon as he came, but the matter of Floating City was too important, and he didn't want this matter to leak out, so it was necessary for a county of Motasos that completely obeyed his orders.

If you insist on saying it, in fact, Del Bon City is easier to control, after all, it is already Roland's territory.

But there is a big problem with the city of Delbon, which is that the country to which it belongs is too small.

Hollevin is too small.

To build a floating city, in addition to the builders constantly making powerstone bricks to pave the 'chassis', they also require a large amount of magic materials to build many functional parts.

This 'large amount' is not something that a small country can provide at will.

Hollevin is not too weak, if you grit your teeth and fight hard, you can indeed supply it, but from now on, Hollevin may not have enough magic materials for magicians to use for decades.

Moreover, a clearance buyout in a small country is so eye-catching that it is easy to find out something.

And in France, a country with a super-large king and extremely rich materials, it is difficult to make the market of the entire country of France fluctuate significantly if it acquires a large number of magical materials.

It is good to hide one's true intentions and not let people notice the anomaly.

This is one of the reasons why Roland built the Floating City in Frans.

Seeing the five military attachés surrounding, Roland flicked his fingers, and fourteen huge blue mage hands suddenly appeared in front of him.

Each palm, more than two meters long, lined up together, almost completely blocked the gap in front of Roland.

These five military attaches are also knowledgeable, except for the city guards, the other four are all master-level warriors.

They could feel that it was difficult for these dozen or so mage hands to break through.

Then their steps stopped, and everyone looked at Roland with limited and fierce eyes.

Roland looked at them as well.

Then in a clear tone, he smiled and said, "Either do it, or listen to me." ”

These words carry a strong sense of self-confidence.

Several military attachés frowned even more. The warrior profession pays a lot of attention to the so-called 'momentum', they can also feel the momentum, like a big cat, and most of the time, they have a strong fighting instinct.

Whether the other person is scared or not, they can feel it.

And now, they can feel that Roland's momentum has been rising, and even a little bit about to move.

In fact, their instincts are quite correct.

Roland just wanted them to do it, so that there would be an excuse to suppress them.

Of course, Roland didn't think about killing anyone, just seized power under house arrest.

However, the other five people are not stupid, after they felt Roland's momentum and desire to attack, they coaxed instead.

All five of them retreated to their chairs and sat down, quite decisively, without a trace of mud and water.

Roland was a little stunned.

In fact, this is also the relationship between his lack of 'experience'.

Most of the time, he spends his time studying magic, and the real 'fighting' is relatively rare compared to other players.

The average level of professionals in France is much higher than that of Holleven.

At the same time, most of the master warriors in Hollevin can only be reckless, but in the country of France, the master warriors are almost all foxes, and only a few will be reckless and live for a short time.

Therefore, Roland's use of Holevin's combat experience to provoke the warriors of the French country has no effect.

Instead, they retreated.

One by one, they shrank back.

All right!

Roland knew that there seemed to be a slight flaw in his plan, but it was not an irreparable mistake, it was troublesome at best.

"Since you are willing to obey orders, then things will be easy." Roland clapped his hands: "Everything can be as usual." ”

The eight of them all looked at Roland, thoughtful.

Looking at the sky, Roland said: "It's not too early, let's go back and continue first, we still have a lot of time to get along in the future, now it's just a hello." ”

The eight slowly left.

The door to the main hall was closed, and the light was much darker.

The butler breathed a sigh of relief on the side, he was really worried about the fight just now.

Roland waved his hand, scattered the hands of a dozen mages, and then said, "Butler, you should know where the entrance to the basement of the castle is, take me to see it." ”

"Yes."

The butler bowed his head slightly and walked ahead.

In fact, the entrance to the basement is not difficult to find, it is right next to the stables at the back of the castle.

There is a small barracks with a hundred elite veterans, who are the direct troops of the royal family to protect their princes and princesses, and under normal circumstances, only follow the orders of the protected person, that is, Stephanie.

Of course...... As soon as the letter of appointment came out, they would naturally follow Roland's orders.

More than 100 soldiers in silver-white iron armor formed a circle outside the stable, and next to the stable, there was a small black entrance, and you had to bend down to enter.

The inside is very narrow, a step that rises above the ground to keep rainwater from seeping in.

Then there is a stone staircase that descends.

The entrance to the basement is so obvious?

Roland looked at the butler with strange eyes.

The housekeeper was old and refined, and immediately understood the meaning of Roland's eyes.

"This is Celestia's request." The butler's expression was quite helpless: "She said that the castle itself is already a defensive measure, if there is really an enemy, even if the castle is breached, the basement is useless, but it is better to build it more obviously, and it will be much easier to put something in it in the future." ”

The veterans gathered around smiled as they all smiled.

For Princess Celestia Stephanie, they all have a lot of respect and respect, and her nonsense idea is quite cute in their eyes.

Princess Celestia is very nice and takes care of their group. They receive the most salaries of all the troops in the territory, and the best equipment is provided to them first, and then to the other troops.

Many people know how to be grateful.

So for Stephanie, they had no malice, only gratitude, and only the two thoughts in their hearts were to protect her and obey all her orders.

Roland was able to hold the power of attorney signed by Princess Celestia herself, and also pressed her handprint, and they knew very well what it meant.

Princess Celestia genuinely trusts this man.

Then they should also trust this man.

Roland didn't go into the basement, but looked at the group of soldiers surrounding him.

Then he looked at the butler: "This is also what you shouted?" ”

The butler nodded: "Let them meet with Your Excellency and get acquainted with it." In addition, Your Excellency has offended several military attachés in the main hall before, and although they did not attack on the spot, they may use some more dishonorable means when they return. So you need guards, and they can be trusted and have the ability to keep you safe. ”

As soon as the butler's words fell, the group of people knelt down on one knee, and in the sound of the collision of the armor, the middle-aged soldier in the lead said: "The order of the eldest princess is everything to us." You are her chosen new lord, so we are your shield, your spear, your Excellency. ”

Roland's gaze swept over the group.

All of them are LV10 or above, and three even reach LV13.

An elite small unit of one hundred master warriors.

Put them in a small country like Hollevin, and they can directly attack the royal city of a small country, and they will not waste any effort.

In other words, in fact, these people are Stephanie's real 'dark chess'.

Those strange people in the royal city are not dark chess at all.

They kneel to themselves, but they are loyal to Stephanie, not to themselves.

But enough is enough, Roland doesn't need them to be true to themselves.

As long as they can listen to themselves.

"Get up." Roland said with a smile.

The group stood up at the same time, moving quite neatly.

Roland thought for a moment and said, "Butler, I have to trouble you to run again." This time you bring the tax collector over, don't alarm the other officials. Then invite the owners of several big chambers of commerce in the city,"

The housekeeper nodded: "Don't bother, share the worries of the master, this is what our servants should do." ”

After the housekeeper left, Roland looked at the middle-aged soldier who had just spoken: "In addition to you, how many people are there in the royal city?" ”

"About three thousand three hundred." The middle-aged soldier thought for a while and replied: "But two thousand of them are militiamen, and they don't have much combat effectiveness." ”

"I want to take care of these more than 3,300 people, do you think you can do it?"

The middle-aged soldier's eyes widened.
