"No, I still have a choice." Duke Pande closed his eyes and pondered for a while, opened his eyes, looked at Gross, and showed a hideous look: "It is true that you can kill us all, but you can't save her." ”

In the face of the threat, Gross sneered disappretently, and the queen also showed a look of pity: "Are you talking about the court knights outside?" Indeed, the several ballistae arranged at the palace gate under the control of the Court Knights can be fired here through the window, and even Gross may not be able to protect me, and he can indeed use him to threaten me, and even kill me unsuspecting at a critical moment. ”

Duke Pande looked at the queen in surprise, he didn't expect that what he thought was such an exquisite arrangement had been discovered by the queen.

"It's really exquisite, and if it weren't for someone telling me, I wouldn't have known I was under the threat of a ballista."

It turned out that there was a traitor, and Duke Pande suddenly realized, gritted his teeth and asked, "Who is it?" ”

"You did one thing wrong, and it was because of this incident that some of the Court Knights were pushed to us."

Gross said in a deep voice: "The Iron Fist Fortress is in great danger, and you shouldn't hinder Your Majesty when he decides to send reinforcements to the Iron Fist Fortress, you only see that I am likely to die in the Iron Fist Fortress, but you don't see that if the Iron Fist Fortress falls, the entire Geffen Kingdom will be finished, and even the vampires and werewolves have seen this." Because of your decision, 54 knights of the Court Knights who have close ties with the north of the Geffen Kingdom and 42 knights who are dissatisfied with your decision have completely fallen to me, and at this moment, I am actually stronger than you in the control of the Court Knights. ”

Duke Pande was completely sluggish, and there were only 300 people in the entire court knights, and it was disastrous for him that nearly a hundred of them completely fell to Gross, because it not only meant the combat effectiveness of a hundred knights, but also meant that the anti-king forces had almost lost control of the court knights, and the family behind them had also fallen to the queen.

"Actually, you don't have to resist." Gross took advantage of the fire and said, "Guess how many people in the garrison have fallen to Your Majesty. ”

Duke Pande was distraught, and pointed to the queen tremblingly: "You ......"

The queen smiled a smug and reserved smile: "Uncle, please don't resist, I don't want to take you to the gallows for treason." ”

Duke Pande's face was swollen red, and he slammed the table and stood up, speechless with anger.

Some of the rest of the nobles also stood up and blamed the queen's side, but more fell silent, and the scales in their hearts began to tilt.

"Humph!" An angry snort erupted from Gross's nose like thunder, causing everyone's eardrums to buzz.

At the same time, the flame sword in Gross's hand slammed to the ground, directly submerged into the bluestone floor, and the flame roared more violently and uncomfortably, making the room as if it was directly scorched by the sun, and the rolling heat wave rushed to the face, which immediately shocked the nobles of the anti-king forces, making them look at Gross with horror, for fear that Gross would draw his sword and cut people if he disagreed.

Seeing that everyone was shocked, Gross's loud voice echoed in the hall: "Aren't you the one who stopped the reinforcements from going to the Iron Fist Fortress?" Don't you know what the consequences will be once the Iron Fist Fortress falls? What is such an act if it is not treason? ”

A series of three questions made Duke Pande speechless, only to blame that he was confused for a while at that time, only thinking about preserving his strength, not allowing himself to save the meat grinder-like battlefield of the Iron Fist Fortress to die, and thinking about getting rid of the big trouble of Gross, so he did such a foolish thing, but now it is too late to regret it, Gross grabbed him as a handle, making him completely unreasonable in morality.

Thinking of that serious consequence, those neutral nobles also broke out in a cold sweat and couldn't help but start accusing the anti-king forces.

Seeing that the people were angry, the side of the anti-king forces couldn't help but turn into quails, with red faces and naked ears.

"So, do you pay or not to hand over this military power?"

"Don't even think about x3!"

Three nobles stood up at the same time and glared angrily, they were the commander of the garrison and the commander of the two knights.

"Good!" The flames in Gross's eyes swelled, and he pulled out the flame sword with a "swoop".

"Wait!" Duke Pande hurriedly shouted: "Killing us is tantamount to forming a mortal enemy, and when the time comes, one will die and one will be injured, and werewolves and vampires will be cheapened for nothing!" ”

Gross rubbed his teeth and sneered: "Don't worry, that was before, hold it until now, because your stupidity pushed them to our side, so this loss can still be bearable." ”

Duke Pande was sweating profusely, and hurriedly said loudly: "That's also a loss!" Give us 10 days, give us 10 days, we need 10 days to prepare for the handover. ”

"If you still want to play tricks, don't even think about it!"

Gross was furious and raised his sword to slash, but Duke Pande's eyes were wide and his face was full of unwillingness.

"Enough!" The queen stood up: "Give you three days, so be it!" ”

With that, she turned and walked towards the side door.

"Three days, three days is not enough! This kind of ghost weather, how can it be in three days! Duke Pande looked at the queen's back and hurriedly shouted.

But the queen kept her feet and walked straight out, paying no attention to the meaning of Duke Pende.

Duke Pande hurriedly moved his steps, wanting to catch up, but was stopped by a tall figure: "Three days is not enough, so two days will be successful?" ”

Gross looked at Duke Pander and sneered, Duke Pande hurriedly took two steps back, at this moment his face was also soaked with sweat, large drops of sweat gathered on his chin, dripping onto his clothes, and his entire chest and back were already wet, embarrassed.

Gross sneered again and turned away.

Duke Pande was so weak that he almost sat on the ground, but fortunately there was someone behind him.

"Let's go!" He waved his hand weakly, beckoning the nobles on the side of the anti-king forces to leave.

The other nobles watched coldly as the nobles on the side of the anti-king forces left in a gloomy manner, throwing winks at each other, and slowly left.

Out of the door, sitting in the carriage, the wet and embarrassed Duke Pande trembled and laughed in a low voice.

"Naive! It's so naïve. His eyes were hollow, and he shook his head slightly, as if he had succeeded in his plan: "Three days is enough time for me to organize the elite and make a gesture of fighting hard, and when the time comes, if we fight, even if we are destroyed, and you will fall into extreme weakness, if we make peace, although we will be weakened partially, but we will not completely lose our military power, and we will still have the strength to fight." So! Your Majesty, my niece, what will you choose when the time comes? Hehehehehehe......"

The Duke of Pande smiled triumphantly and burst into tears.

It's been a long time, it's been a long time since I've been so embarrassed.

His niece, who really had the demeanor of his father, had forced herself into a Jedi all the way today, which was a very bad feeling, and it seemed to remind him of the days when he was young and was played around by his brother, and he was once terrified.

It's a pity that he is no longer the naïve he used to be, the years have made him old and made him no longer strong, but he has also exchanged for some valuable things, such as wisdom, such as experience.

Even if he was old and confused, he let himself get into trouble, but he finally used his wisdom and experience to find a glimmer of life for himself.
