Chapter 248: Duke Erie's Imperial Dream

The royal city of Macedonia, in a secret room. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Ely opened the door and walked in, "Father, Count Taron is here. ”

Earl Erie nodded, Earl Tarun was Erie's fiancé.

Erie is blonde and blue-eyed, with crystal and bright eyes, as if he can speak. With plump lips and a hot body, he is also a stunner, and he can be called one of the four beauties of the Macedonian Kingdom. However, compared to the appearance of the gods against the sky, it is still much worse. It's completely different from cloud and mud, one in heaven and one on the earth, which still lifts her up.

That's right, Yili was Lance's fiancée, and Lance was also divorced tragically.

Count Tarun walked in, dressed in a brocade robe and a long sword at his waist, with a bit of Prince Charming. Count Talen's face was not very good-looking, and when he saw his future father-in-law, Duke Erie, he did not salute, sat down with his ass, and did not say a word, obviously losing his temper.

The Duke of Erie was secretly annoyed in his heart, but he said softly: "Taron, you are here, by the way, why didn't the Marquis of Jefferson, the Earl of Gael, and the Marquis of Higgin come?" ”

Duke Ford bared his fangs, intending to go against Duke Erie. Naturally, the Duke of Erie also had to find allies to discuss and decide on his future political strategy.

Count Talon smiled coldly, and said in a strange manner: "Father-in-law, Lord Marquis Jefferson said that he was seriously ill and would not come; The Earl of Gale was out on patrol of the realm and was not at home; The Marquis of Hill went out hunting and hasn't come back yet. Father-in-law, now you know who is the most loyal to you! ”

Count Talon naturally felt uncomfortable!

Although Lance retained the dukedom, he did in name only. There are two people who have the best hope of getting the fief of the Caesar family and becoming a true duke, one is the Earl of Lane; One is the Earl of Talon. Judging from the situation at the time, Earl Taron was engaged to the daughter of the Duke of Erie, Erie Jr., and was the most likely to become the new Duke.

But the result was beyond everyone's expectations!

In the end, it turned out to be Ford, an inconspicuous old guy, who became the duke, and he was extremely low-key among the nobles. There is no great merit, and he spends all day drinking, which is called "cowardly Ford". In the end, this coward became a duke, and if only Ryan became a duke. Tarun complained a few words at most, but what kind of thing was he Ford, it was obvious that his father-in-law didn't help him at all, and it was very likely that he helped that Ford.

Tarun is naturally dissatisfied!

Duke Erie was stunned for a moment, then he became angry and slapped it heavily on the table, "A bunch of damn wall grass! These damn fellows, when I become the king of Macedonia, I will definitely reduce them to slaves one by one, and all their wives and daughters will be put into official brothels! Property confiscation! ”

As for what Jefferson, Gail, and Hill said, it is obviously false, yesterday they were talking and laughing in the court, and today they are seriously ill, going out to inspect the territory, and hunting, what a coincidence!

Obviously, the talkers saw that the situation was not good, and put aside the relationship with the Duke of Erie, and planned to wait and see for a while.

Tarun cocked Erlang's legs, and his tone was still that yin and yang, "Father-in-law, Ford controls half of the military power, and these nobles are all grass on the wall, as long as Ford promises to give the nobles better treatment after ascending the throne, they don't care who is the king of Macedonia." ”

"By the way, father-in-law, Lord Ford sent me an invitation yesterday, do you think I should go?"

This is naked blackmail!

It means: hurry up and bring me benefits, or I will stab me in the back.

The Duke of Yili had a good kung fu to nourish his qi, his expression remained unchanged, he took a sip of tea and was silent.

Ferguson, the son of the Duke of Erie, was not as calm as his son, stood up and pointed at Taron, "Taron, you white-eyed wolf!" Your father thinks so highly of you and helps you everywhere, and your conscience allows the dog to eat it! ”

Erie's face also turned gloomy, "Taron, how are you talking to my father!" If it weren't for my father, you bastard would have been an earl. You can't blame your father if you can't be a duke, it's you who don't fight! Cut, you bastard really think of yourself as a character! The eyebrows are raised, the eyes are hanging, there is no anger of a cute girl at all, but a snarky face.

Count Talon's face changed drastically, he was not the heir of the previous generation of Count Tarun, but only the son of an old Count of Tarun drunk and a slave, and he had no inheritance rights at all. If it weren't for the help of the Duke of Erie, he really wouldn't be an earl.

But Erie said it like that, and a mongrel. This was tantamount to tearing open the deepest wound in Count Talon's heart, and sprinkling a large bag of salt.

Count Tarun hated others saying that he was a mongrel, so he became angry on the spot, waved his hand and slapped Erie to the ground, and said angrily: "You slut is embarrassed to say!" I'm the son-in-law of my father-in-law, and I'm running around for my father-in-law, but what is the result? I wouldn't say anything if Ryan became a duke, but what kind of thing is he. How dare you say your father didn't help him! ”

"You bastard dare to do something to my sister, you are looking for death! ・・・・・・" Ferguson was also angry, drew his long sword, and was about to make a move.

"Enough!"

An old but majestic shout rang out.

Erie looked up and looked at the few people present with viper-like eyes. All three shuddered, sat back in their seats, bowed their heads and said nothing.

The reason why Yili promoted Ford in the first place instead of helping his son-in-law was simple. Just because his son-in-law is a more capable person, and Ford is the "Duke of Bag". Once Ford became duke, Erie was able to control him for his own use. Although Tarun is his son-in-law, compared to rights and interests, family affection is a fart! In order to compete for the throne, father and son repeatedly became enemies and brothers killed each other.

But what the Duke of Erie didn't expect was that Duke Ford's so-called cowardly image was simply pretended, and within a few days, his fangs had become brighter, and he also wanted to be the king of Macedonia.

Yili pondered for a moment, as if organizing words, and after a long time, sighed, "Talen, it is indeed my fault about Ford, so be it, I will give you the Yili collar, as long as you can continue to support our Yili family!" ”

"Father!" Ferguson and Erie were shocked, apparently not expecting their father to pay such a big price.

Yili waved his hand to stop his children, and said, "How?" ”

Tarun's eyes widened, apparently unexpected. In fact, he himself knew very well that his identity as the son-in-law of the Duke of Erie would make him unable to really become a person on Ford's side, not to mention that he himself did not like Ford. It's only a little bit to ask for benefits, but I didn't expect my father-in-law to be so generous.

Yili Ling is the birthplace of the Duke of Yili, with fertile land and a developed economy. It also has a vein of dark iron ore and rich reserves. After 100 years of operation by the Yili family, it has become a prosperous area second only to Macedonian City.

To put it bluntly, this is a mountain of gold, and the Duke of Erie has given him the mountain of gold, so Tarun naturally can't be ambiguous.

Tarun smiled, bent down to apologize, and his tone was respectful, no longer yin and yang, "Father-in-law, it was the son-in-law who was reckless before, please forgive me." I'll contact the Neutral Marquis and Earl, and I'll make sure they support you, Father-in-law, but ・・・・・・"

Speaking of this, Tarun also looked embarrassed, "But you also know that the military power is in the hands of Ford after all." If there is no way to solve this, it will be useless for us to unite as many nobles as we want. ”

The fact that power comes out of the barrel of a gun and that the truth is within the range of my cannon illustrates the importance of military power, and that you cannot be a real king without an army.

The Duke of Erie naturally understood this, and fell silent, and finally he took a deep breath, and finally made up his mind and said, "I will solve this matter." ”

"That's good! That's good! "Tarun is completely like the two of them, just now he was aggressive, he has been led by Erie and now he is as well-behaved as a grandson, "The son-in-law has taken his leave, and the matter of contacting the other nobles will be left to me!" ”

Tarun bowed back, the corners of his mouth almost cracking his ears.

As soon as Tarun left, Ely bit his lip, touched the red marks on his face, and looked resentful, "Father, this bastard is so shameless, why did you give him all the Ellie collars!" He's not as good as the original waste Lance? At least he listens to me whatever I say! ”

Ferguson nodded in agreement, "It's true that Taron is not as good as Lance, but Duke Caesar, that old fellow doesn't know each other, and he hasn't been ・・・・・・ by us," he said, making a throat-slitting gesture.

"I believe this time is no exception, right? Do you want to have a plan ahead of your father? ”

Duke Erie sneered, didn't answer, and took out a map. There are only two countries on the map, one is the Orc Kingdom; A Macedonian kingdom. The two countries are bounded by the Chijin Mountains, with the Orc Kingdom to the north and the Macedonian Kingdom to the south.

Duke Erie pointed his finger at Casa, the orc king, and slid down the route on the map, and a closer look will reveal it. This is the common route used by the orc kingdom to attack Macedonia. The finger passed through the defense line of the Chijin Mountains of the Macedonian kingdom, continued downward, and soon reached a place, which was the Illy.

If the Orc Kingdom wants to attack the rich core of Macedonia, it must attack the Illy Territory.

Erie frowned, not quite understanding, "Father, you mean that the orc kingdom will break through our defense line in the Chijin Mountains and attack the Erie territory. We definitely can't resist the orc kingdom, so we might as well give up the Erie Territory to Tarun and consume his strength. However, although the orcs are strong, they cannot break through the defenses of the Chijin Mountains. ”

The Orc Kingdom is full of soldiers and a strong army, compared to the Macedonian Kingdom, which does not dare to touch its edge at all, and can only rely on the defense line of the Chijin Mountains to defend it. Even if the boss of the Roman Empire goes on an expedition, he may not be able to win the orcs.
