Chapter 387: Fighting
"I request that the meeting be postponed until after Lord Wei Xu of the Half Moon Collar recovers!" Baghlouf looked at the large circle of familiar faces around the huge round table in front of him, and said with a cold face. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"I don't agree, Lord Baglouf, the Council of Lords has always dealt with absent lords in absentia, should we wait for Igrod to come back before meeting again?" The one who spoke was Songwa Silverblood of the Rich's domain, who had come with Lord Igmund of Rich.
"There's no place for you to talk here!" Baghlouf pressed the long sword at his waist with his left hand, squinting at the man standing behind Igmund on the left side of the opposite side, his tone full of murderous intent.
"I don't agree with that either." At this time, another person spoke.
Baghlouf looked at the man opposite him and said fiercely: "Ufrik, Wei Xu is not absent, he was just assassinated and poisoned and has not yet recovered!" ”
"Bagluf...... An absence is an absence, it's our old rule that we can't postpone a meeting because of anything! Ufrik didn't look at Baghruf, but at the Grand Elder, who was seated at the top.
"You're ......," Baglouf's eyes flashed. He had carefully examined the Assassin last night, and there was nothing to determine his identity. But looking at today's situation, it is very likely that Ufrik's gang will make a move!
"Alright...... You two guys are not too young, why are you still fighting here like children, you fought when you were a child, and you are still fighting now! The Great Elder spoke, directly interrupting Baggrove's words. Both of them can be said to have grown up under his watch, although he doesn't have much to take care of the two of them, and there is nothing wrong with thinking of himself as an elder at this time.
"Humph!" Baghlouf didn't respond to the Great Elder's words, but just snorted coldly and turned his head away.
"Alas...... It was a pity that Lord Wei Xu couldn't come, and the meeting couldn't be suspended because of the absence of certain lords. We can't break this rule...... So let's continue the meeting...... "The second elder also came out to help at this time. Nonsense, Wei Xu was still jealous of his attitude before, and if Wei Xu could suffer a big loss at this time, of course he would add fuel to the fire.
"Let's ......" looked at the second elder's eyes on him, and the fourth elder, who was presiding over the meeting, looked at the eldest elder, and then at the third elder. She is the least powerful and powerful among several people, and this situation still makes her a little embarrassed.
"Go on......" Finally, the Grand Elder hesitated for a moment before finally speaking.
"So...... I declare the meeting ...... open" The four elders exhaled, and with the Great Elder speaking, it was not so difficult for him to do.
"First, let's talk about peace with the Civil War, the Stormcloak, and the Empire." Looking at the flow of the meeting, the four elders glanced around at all the lords present, and then said slowly.
"I want Marcus City to be under the jurisdiction of Stormcloak!" Ufrik spoke first.
Baglouf frowned imperceptibly, this is peace...... This Ufrik still cares so much about his power!
"We're negotiating peace, Ufrik, aren't you going to negotiate peace in this tone? Tell me to put a territory under your jurisdiction? ”
"Hey, Baghruf, we're talking about peace, but we're also talking about stopping the civil war. How? Won't I be allowed to give me more lords who support me? Ufrik smiled easily.
The Great Elder frowned slightly, this Ufrik is too power-hungry, so he wants to control more Skyrim Territory?
"We're talking about supporting the Stormcloak's lords to rejoin the Empire, not making a deal with Stormcloak Ufrik! After today, there will be no Stormcloak! Tulius and Baghlouf looked at each other, then said to Ufrik in displeasure.
"No, no, no, the Storm Cloak can't be disbanded, we're the most loyal organization to the Talos faith, and besides, Imperial law doesn't prohibit the existence of sectarian organizations." Previously, the Stormcloak belonged to the rebels, and now Ufrik clearly wanted to legitimize the rebel group.
"Imperial law states that sectarian organizations cannot have private soldiers!" Tulius was directly annoyed by Ufrik's rogue behavior.
"How can we have private soldiers in our Storm Cloak...... We have always been the private soldiers of the lords of our sect! Ufrik shrugged innocently, his tone full of grievances.
"You ......," Tulius choked on at these words. The lord's private soldiers? What a lord's private soldier!
"What's wrong with me? You must know that the storm cloak was spontaneously organized by the lords who were dissatisfied with the original platinum agreement of the empire, and this force is all our lord's own soldiers, where are there any sect private soldiers? General Tulius...... I don't carry this pot! "Ufrik obviously liked to see Tulius suffer, and he wished he could make the old fellow angry with him.
Tulius's face was red and white, and Rao's darkened skin under the wind and sun all year round could not hide the color of his face changed because of anger.
Seeing this, Ufrik directly struck while the iron was hot and added: "So the condition I put forward is to replace the lord of the Rich's territory with the lord of the belief in Talos, is it wrong?" I'm just putting it a little bluntly. ”
"In exchange, the empire wants the jurisdiction of the White Land!" Baglouf looked at Ufrik and said gloomily. Don't you want Rich? Okay, originally Ruichi was basically overshadowed by the blood family of the post office that supported you, so I'll give it to you! But we can't just let you take Ruichi collar like that.
"I disagree!" The Skad Lord of the White Land jumped out directly. This kind of territorial exchange often means the downfall of the lord, he is not as bad as Igmund of Ruichi, and he still has a certain control over the white land.
This kind of proposal has always been a rip-off process, and although the guys in the Senate are from the imperial side, this kind of territory is exchanged for it, to put it bluntly, it is a competition within the Skyrim Province, so there is not much favoritism for this issue.
One of Skyrim's children's stories goes like this: two bears share cheese and ask a fox to help. At the time of the first division, the elder brother had a little more than the younger brother, so the younger brother was not convinced, so the fox took a bite of the elder brother's cheese. Now the elder brother is younger than the younger brother, and the elder brother is not convinced. Then the fox took another bite on his brother's cheese...... And so on until the elder brother and younger brother were both about the same size of cheese, and they were left with only palm-sized cheese, and most of the cheese went into the fox's stomach. Now that the Empire's control of Skyrim is not strong, the Senate is naturally happy to let the Storm Cloak compete with other Empire-leaning lords in Skyrim.
